The history of this school may be brief
or not, just as one looks at it. II we
trace, through the lives and deeds Of its
students, and through these TO others,
who may have been melted by them to
obtain an education, it is no brief history.
Indeed, it is not written yet nonot even
made. The little seed was planted here,
as 1t has proven, in no barren soil it
grew, had an ephemeral existence, seeded

them round about. II is remarkable how
prolific Las been the future harvest no
region Of our State has produced SO many
men, eminent in the professions as this

OF ten--John, james aud Joseph Wolvcr-

lics w. and Andrew d. LARSON, three
brothers; VIM. d. Wolyerton, Surgeon

and Geo. B. Young. Three ofthese have,
in addition, done useful work as preach
ers of the gospel. OF lawyers, we find
the names of Charles and George Ser
geant and Hon. James Buchanan. OF
teachers, some seven can be recalled,
among them E. NJ. Heath, (now County
Superintendent OF Public Schools In this
county,, and Silas Fl. Larue, teacher at
Allentown, Pa. OF preachers, beside
those already alluded to, we find the
names of Chas. e. Young, e. @. Romine
and Fl. F. Stillwell.
In this immediate vicinity was born and
reared, John II. Butterfoss, man that in
the later days Of his life, achieved such
success In the study of the flora of this
county, as to entitle him "the self Gull

The 'original package" bill passed by
tho House provides that liquors, beer and
wine when imported from one State into
another and there offered for sale, 'sshall

This means that prohibitory, license and
all other State laws restrictive of the sale
OF these articles shall operate. There are
grave doubts, however, OF the constitu-
tionality OF the act. The Supreme Court
says that the importation and sale OF such
articles in original packages cannot be

Still blind children are no less fond OF
