Brookville.
NJ. A. G. wbi,ccraft has moved to

There will be number of changes this

Quite an interesting road meeting on
last Thursday afternoon was held at
Roblnson's store, Brookville. Mr.. Geo.
D. Lewis was elected by good round
majority. AS We have new Committee
man and Overseer, we hope they will give
their attention to the road leading through
this place and make it so the public can
travel without getting lost In the mud.
Our friend Barber is quite poet. We
did not have the pleasure of hearing him
recite on Monday evening, 10th inst, but
whoever composed the verses gave us all
a send-off. Nothing like it was ever be-
fore heard. 1t was just simply immense.
The vote at our Spring election, held on
Tuesday, 1lth inst, was very light, only
1919 votes being polled in South Delaware.
There was quite contest for Freebooter,
Mr.. Robert Port, the Republican nominee,
having 81 majority here. If the Repub-
lican voters had turned out, Port would
have been the man.
We learn Mr.. A. Ii. Bisbing, storekeep-
er at Rosemont, has sold out to Hiram
Danley s. Son, of Frenchtown, who will
take possession about April LIST.
The Teachers meeting held on Satur-
day last, was a grand success, although
the weather was very unfavorable, owing
to the storm. The attendance at the
merning session was small.
The opening exercises were conducted
by Rev. j. w, Van Dyke, OF this place,
after which very interesting and instruc-
tive address was given by the Rev. w.
w. Bullock, of Lambertville.
The Rev. Mr.. Van Dyke gave short
description of the schools in China and
Siam, which was very instructive.
Prin. A. B. Rittenhouse gave talk on
"Mistakes in Teaching He enumerated
many mistakes the teachers make and
told why they were mistakes.
The meeting opened again at lao P. NJ.
with crowded house.
A very pleasing paper was read by Mr..
David Gibbs, of Spring Hill School, en-
titled "Wanted, Teacher"
President Kerr then introduced to the
audience Principal Edwin shepard, of the
Olive Street Grammar School, Newark,
who was received with great applause.
His talk aud instructions on penmanship
we're of the most instructive and beneficial
character. He took the audience and
gave them practical drill, which every
one pronounced the best they eyer saw.
The President again introduced Rev. J.
W. Van Dyke, who gave fine talk on
the results of an education, saying the
United States had the best standard, edu-
cationally, of any country on the face of
the earth.
Principal Shepard again took the floor
and gave a very instructive talk on teach
ing history, claiming that but few teach
ers taught history in very satisfactory
manner. He enumerated the many ways
in which good teacher proceeded and
showed the results accomplished.
The exercises were interspersed with
music, and the recitation by Miss Dia-
mond added a pleasing variety. II.
