Resolved, That We approve ofthe friendly
rivalry among the schools ofthis convention

the fact that Bakersyille Sunday school won

Resolved, That it is the Judgment of this

doctrines of the church and, we believe the
teaching Of Gods word from a Lnlhers
standpoint, in such institutions will be
conclusive TO the promotion of our educa-
tional interests in general.
Resolved, That We extend thanks to the
pastor and the good people of Hooversville
and community for their kind hospitality,
and commend their deed Of love and good
will to the kind Father above for his
continued blessing upon them.
Resolved, That the thanks Of this con
vention are also rendered the persons who
presided at the organ, the persons who con-
tributed to the success Of the excellent
program, and 10 the officers and ths ex
ecutiye committee of the association for their
share in the success of this convention.
The convention adjourned with many
brief but enthusiastic expressions from its
delegates Of the profit and the enjoyment
experienced during its sessions. Hoovers-
vile will long be remembered as an oasis in
our Sunday school work, as well as for It's
wholesale hospitality.

The members of the town council and the
electric hight company have about agreed
upon the following locations for the arc
street lights, At the rairoad crossing on
Main street, Public Square, Main and Ro-
sanna streets, Gravel Hill, West and Union
streets, Union and East streets, Patriot and
East streets, Race and West streets, Sanner
and Main Cross streets, South ard Main
Cross streets, Green Lane and Main Cross
streets, West and Patriot streets. The Coun-
ty Commissioners have agreed to place an
arc light in front of the Court House. II is
probable too, that theproprietors ofthe SOM
erse; House and Park Hotel wiz place arc
lights in front Of their houses and that the
railroad company will subscribe for at least
one light for the station. The town council
would merit the appreciation of the citizens of
the borough in case they should make an ef-
fort 10 have the B. & o. Company erect lights
al every street crossed By their road in the
town. This would be very trifiing return
on the part Of the company to the people of
Somerset who generously donated one Of
their streets to the company's use. Lights
at these points would afford protection
to the company and to the public.

1t has been suggested that the committee
appointed by the town council to nose
around several properties through which a
long-esta5lished dra passes, in the hope
that nuisance might be unearthed, turn
their attention 10 the gutter on the north side
Of ives. Main street. This gutter Is at least
three feet deep forquite distance at several
points and Is a menace 10 the safety Of per
5ns who travel that thoroughfare.
At a meeting of the town c0ulU.l, p-oblhly
a year ago, q resolution was passed, al,hor-
iziDg the construction Of a sewer from
point below West street to the stream at the
foot Of that street. the idea being to abate
the nuisance now complained Of By the
property owners and TO I'll up the dangerous
gutter above mentioned. In fact matters had
progressed 50 far that bids we're taken for
the construction Of the sewer. We are told
that the lowest bid was about $50. This
action OF the part Of the former council has
been rescinded. We are told that the OBJ ec-
ton of a lack Of water cannot be unged
against the construction Of q sewer. It has
been further intima:ed that in case a prose
cution is brought against the property own
eFs for maintaining a nuisance a similar
charge will be entered against the town
council al once.

Taking an Oath.

During The sitting Of The country court,
both last week and the week previous. says
the Johnsiowu Tribune, Judge Barker called
attention to the growing practice or custom
and remarked that it is permissible for per-
sons to affirm only when they have consoi-
entious scruples against taking an oath. All
Others should swear either by the book or
by the upllfted hand, aad he recommended
the latter as the most desirable method for
three reasons. First, from sanitary con-
sideration, as doctors assert that certain dis
eases may be communicated by the indis-
criminste kissing Of the Bible; second, be
cause the upIifed hand is the customary
form in nearly all the courts OF adjacent
counties; third, because it IS the most ex-
pediiious method Of administering an oath,
a consideration Of much importance in court
proceedings

II was iuky dark about half past O'Clock
Thursday night, when Master Bern Ben
ford, the ffeen-year-old son of druggist
Geo. W. Benford, started for his home on
Union street Bern had been spending
the evening on The streets, as most Somerset
boys do at this season Of the year. Just as
he got in front OF the alley between the lots
Of F. J. Kooser, Esq, and Mrs. Postleih-
waite, two men sprsug ont and grabbing
Bern" up bodily carried him into the mid
die Of the rad, where they went through
bis pockets and ripped his clothing almost
entirely of his body Master Bern" was
not very heavily loaded with lucre and it
was doubtless for that reason that the high
Wsymen gave him 4 sound drubbing. It is
hardly credible that two men would lay in
wait for the purpose of wayisying mere
boy such Is their victim proved TO be. and it
is generally believed that they made mis-
take in their man. and that their plan was
to assault another well known resident Of
Union street, who is known 10 always car
" more OF less money about his person.

Postoffice Burglar Taken

A telegram from Pittsburgh says that Post
Office Inspector Dickson was in a very good
humor Saturday over the capture Of Samuel
D. Brown, who, in May Of this year robbed
the post-office al Woodbury., Bedford coun-
ty, and secured $50. The robber was cap
tured on Friday, at Maria, Bedford county,
and is now in Jail at Hollidaysburg.
Oa the night of May 10, 1892, Postmaster
Kr0use, Ct Woodbury., who lives in the
house dj5iniug the post -oiice, was awak-
ened By an explosion in the post Office. De
ran to the second-story window and looked
into the street. Just as he reached the win
dow a man came ont Of the post-oifice and
started 70 run down street. Mr.. Rrouse
called to him to stop. The man did stop,
wheeled and raising his arm, fired shot at
the Postmaster, who inyoIun;arily dodged,
and, the bullet cut through the sleeve Of the
nightshirs, in which Mr Krouse was array
ed.
Mr. KTouse went into lie house, searched
for weapon, and not finding it. started
down stairs and cut into the streets, still
dressed for slumber. As be reached the
street The man was waiting and fired two
more shots, one Of which cut through tie
shoulder Of the single garment.
ia the meantime Mrs. Krouse had been
attracted by the noise, and hurried to The
yeTanda just as her husband received the
second yoliey. The robber then paid his
respects TO hrs. Krouse, and ired two shots,
one Of which neoessitated the mending Of
her sole garment at the neck. Mr. Krouse
by this time became mad, and lie started to-
ward the stranger.
When within FIVE feet OF him another shot
cut lock Of hair from the Posimssler's
head, and the man turned and ran. followed
by Mr Krouse, who By this time had been
Joined by several citizens, but the robber es-
capped An examination Of the Postofiice
showed thai the safe had been blown open
and all tie valuable contents removed.

made purer and better to-day than at that
