Of July Mr.. Waller offered minority re.
port 10 favor Of locating the school build
ings on the north side OF the extension Of
Main street, but Nr. Snyder declined W
sell tha, and upon the acceptance Of the
present location, Mr. Waller resigned
from the committee, aud on the 2ist Of
July, from the Presidency OF the Board
aud from the Board OF Trustees; and
subsequently Frcss Brown was elected
Ia his stead.
Hon. Leonard d. Rupert was elected
President OF the Board OF Trustees Ia the
place Of Rev. Mr.. Waller, resigned, and
was annually reelected until May 0, 1873
when Hon. William Elwell was elected
and scryed in that capacity until 1888,
when he resigned.
During oil this time the matter OF sub
scrlptions and building were pushed for
ward with considerable vigor. On the
question Of location, some difficulty was
experienced. 1t was designed to locate
the building north uf the prof, ction Of
Second street, but Mr.. Snyder did not
consent to the change. We all see now
how great the advantage would have
been. A committee awaited upon him
about the matter and after consultation
with him, at a meeting on the 4th OF
August, 1866, was
Resolved, That in accepting the location
offered by Dir. Snyder, the Board act in

Extending Its Connections.
THE LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROAD PUSH
ING THROUGH TO BINGHAMPTON.

1t is stated on good authority that
the new railroad now being built by
the Lehigh Valley through the Bow
mans Creek region, is to be pushed
on at once to Binghampton, and that
it will be ready for operation in eigh-
teen months. Beginning at Wilkes
Barre, the great anthracite coal centre,
the road will cross the Susquehanna
by means Of bridge that is now be-
ing built at Forty Fort; next touches
Harvey's lake, which it is intended to
make a summer resort, and then
plunges northward into an unopened
mountainous region that abounds in
timber, and which is expected, in the
near future, to furnish an immense
amount OF lumber for shipment in
both directions.
Afterwards it will strike Tunkhan-
mock, cross the Susquehanna again,
and then connect with the Montrose
Narrow Guage Road, which is al
ready practically under the Valleys
control. The road will be made to
conform to the standard guage, and
from its terminus at Montrose an en-
titely new line will be constructed
through rich agricultural region to
Binghampton, which point the Valley
Company has been for years desirous
of reaching. The right of way has al
ready been secured in many places,
and there seems no room to doubt
that the work will be done.

began by elderly ladies ceasing to dye
their gray locks. 1t was declared that not
only were silver threads among the gold
becoming, but that they lent an additional
look of youthfulness. Then the effect of
powdered hair above bright eyes and
girlish face was found to be so piquant
that the complexion artists and hairdress-
ers were importuned to invent sonnet hing
to make the piquancy permanent. AS yet
they have not succeeded. 1t is possible
to bleach the HAIR white. To be sure it
is very expensive and deadly injurious but
it is effective White hair, however, is not
so becoming as silver gray, and when that
is demanded the ''artist" recommends ma
dame to shave her dark locks and buy one Of

Lady TeaZle's wish that it might be

realized at this late day Never were arti

trimming more than ever before, and fol

one meets in New York wears IA large black
hat with one immense American beauty

families devote themselves to the manu-
facture of single variety for generations.

the industry in France to the extent OF

allowing specimens to be carried home for
models Any worker in flowers is allowed
to pick blossom for the purpose of study
ing it, and the gardens are open to him at
all times France is the only country ir
the world artistic enough to support such
an institution. Certainly the idea would
not be enthusiastically supported by
American law makers, so the probability is
we shall continue to import our flowers.

ence, but that fancy buttons are to be
stylish again A few have appeared on
imported gowns, in antique designs to
suit the period in the fashion of which the
dress is made; some are jeweled and others
are set with gold in artistic designs. So
much tinsel and jeweled trimmings are
worn now that fancy buttons would seem
to fit in quite naturally. But as yet they
are not generally used. On tailor gowns,
especially on the gray cloths so univer-
sally but so seldom becomingly worn, fiat
buttons in horn, bone or smoked pearl APP
pear in great profusion. That they are
ugly does not impair their popularity in
the least and almost all the new spring
gowns are decorated with them.
Another old fashion that is struggling,
for revival is the colored stocking. At the
shops all sorts of temptations in the way
of delicate tnts are shown, but the pros
poets are not encouraging for the innova-
ton. Until the last few years, when the
black stocking was made absolutely "un-

would have been welcome, but now it is
