NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Friday evening Jan. 18th the
the third entertainment of this yelr's
students Lecture Course was en-
joyed in Institute Hall. Mrs. II. +.
Monroe delivered her most elegant
lecture entitled - England, Her
Shrlnes and People The views in
every case were most excellent, and
the descriptions given by the lecturer
were at once beautiful and instructive
The next number in this well Sc
lectcd course Of lectures comes Feb.
IL, and will be given by that wonder
full impersonator Mr.. Leland +.
Powers, in his famous rendition of
"David Garrick." This is the enter
tainment in which Mr.. Powers has
gained his very wide reputation.
Don't forget the date, Feb. IL.
On Monday evening Jan. rs, a most
njoyablc time was afforded all the
members OF the faculty Of our school.
This came in the form of an invita-
ton from Mr.. and Mrs. Newton
Walker, on Rock street to tea with
them on that evening, this being the
occasion of Mr.. Walkers 5Ist birth
day.
After most elaborate serving Of
good things for the inner man, to
enumerate which would overtax our
limited acquaintance with the techni-
calties of the dining-room, all re
paired to the parlors to spend the
evening in discussing the current
news and in the playing OF various
games.
Almost every Saturday at this time
of the year many of the teachers are
drawn upon by the various County
Superintendents and teachers to assist
in Local Institute work. Recently
Prof Noetling has been to Elysburg
and Numedia, and Profs. Bakeless and
Hartllne to Buckhorn.
The attendance for the Spring term
has never before been so promising.
Already it has been found necessary
to rent an additional building near
the Normal for the accommodation of
the threatened overflow of students.
Almost every room in the large
dormtory is already engaged and We
have not yet reached the middle of
the winter term.
Teachers and the public generally
are beginning to recognize the fact
that we have here practical Normal
training school.

The Muncy Bank.

The directors of the First National
Bank of Muncy seem to have hit upon
plan of closing their mouths about
as tight as the bank has been closed
since the examiner took charge a
week ago. Although the directors
were in session almost all of Saturday
they refused to give out any informa-
tion regarding the business transacted.
The rumor that the bank had been
reorganized on Saturday seems tc
have been without foundation. The
stltement of the examiner, it is assert
ed, will show there is shortage Of
$2o,So
The amount has not been paid into
the bank by the Directors. Mr.
Green continues to talk confidently Of
vindication, and says he will explain
some transactions at his hearing be
fore Commissioner Bently that vii
surprise the people and make food fol
more gossip than his arrest has,

Sleeping for Two Years.
POLE WHO Is PULLING THE PHYSI-
CLANS OF WILKES BARRE.
Wilkes BARRE, January IS

WILKES BARRE, January IS.
The local physicians are studying a
case which is a physiological puzzle.
About two years ago John Levichi, a
young Pole, was injured in the mines.
He was carried in a comatose state
to the hospital. There nothing could
be done for him. The patient suffer
ed no pain apparently, but he insisted
on sleeping thirteen hours out Of the
twenty-four. The hours he was
awake he would devote 10 feasting.
When his appetite was satisfied he
would 60 off into deep slumber at
once, which would last for fourteen
hours more. The doctors were puz-
zled and removed him to the Poor
House.
A number of physicians examined
the patient to-day. They will make a
report to the medical society. Super
intendent Eschelberg, of the poor
farm, says it is certainly remarkable
case He has tried all means to keer
the man awake without success. One
time the Polander was put astride a
horse. Another horseman held him
in the saddle. The horse was made
run, galop and jump, but the Poland
er would not wake up.

Death Of Adam W. q. Keller.

At special meeting of Mountain
Lodge No. s74 /. 0. o. F., Jan. I3.
1892, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted.
WHEREAS 1t has seemed fit and
proper, in the allwise providence of
our Creator, to take from our band OF
brothers, our esteemed brother Past
Grand Adam w. c. Keller, in whose
demise we fully realize the loss of a
worthy brother and esteemed citizen
and whose family mourn the loss of a
loving husband and kind father. The
community in which he lived loses a
man of good principles and senti-
ments. Bro. Keller was a consistent
member and class leader in the Nj.
f, Church.
The example of his life and
character affords one worthy of imi.
tation. Be it therefore
Resolcea, That we sympathize
with the bereaved family in their dark
hour of affliction, and commend them
for consolation to the same God in
whom the departed put his trust.
Resolced, That our charter be
draped in mourning for thirty days,
and that copy of this preamble
and resolution be presented to the
family OF the deceased, Orangeville,

The editor of the Towanda Report
er Journal, in an article addressed to
the boys, makes the following state
ment, which is true as gospel: The
idea that an abundance of money is
a good thing is all right but the idea
that it is the chief good thing is all
wrong. Every young man should
strive to earn comfortable living and
save up something against the rainy
day" which is more likely to come ii
one isn't prepared for it. But while
the first social and civil duty of the
ordinary man is to earn an honest llv-
ing, and while it is commendable to
''get on in the world" no one should
forget that wealth is only secondary
good. The aristocracy Of intellect
and the aristocracy of character are
higher than the aristocracy of wealth.

NOVEL SCENE.
1he supreme Court Of Pennsylvania Hear
Ing the Treason Charges Against the
/ Homestead Men.

| 1he Supreme Court OF Pennsylvania Hear
| Ing the Trenson charges Against the
Homestead Men.
PIrTsBURGn, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE un-
psual spectacle Of the supreme justice
b the supreme court Of the state sitting
b criminal court was witnessed this
horning when Chief Justice Paxon
Charged the grand jury Of the court of
oyer and terminer as TO what consti-
lnted treason TO the state in the case of
lhe Homestead advisory strikers com
nittee.
Upon the bench sat the chief justice
and Judges Stowe McClung, Porter
and Kennedy, while in the clerks por-
ton sat Judge Slagle. The room was
crowded almost to suffocation.
Judge Kennedy first turned TO the
grand jury and said that charges of
treason having been made against GER
tain persons 1t seemed meet for the
county court TO request the highest ju-
dicial officer OF the state to deliver the
charge. Then, after detailing the caus-
es leading up TO the Homestead strike,
Judge Paxon said; THE mutual right
OF the parties to contract in regard TO
wages, and the character of employ
ment, whether by the piece or by the
day, whether for ten hours or less, is
fixed as any other right which we enjoy
under the constitution and laws OF this
state. II is right which belongs TO
every citizen, laborer or capitalist and
it is the plain duty Of the state to pro-
tect them in the enjoyment Of it.
The justice defined as treason
the organization Of large number OF
men in common purpose to defy the
law, resist its officers and deprive any
portion Of their fellow citizens Of their
rights under the constitution and laws.
ut is state OF war, said he, "when a
business plant has TO be surrounded by
the army OF the state TO protect it from
unlawful violence at the hands OF for
mcr employees
In closing the chief justice spoke as
follows: Every member of such as
serted government, whether it be an
advisory committee or whatever name
it is called who has participated in
such usurpation, who has joined
in common purpose of resistance
to the law and denial of the rights to
other citizens, has committed treason
against the state. While the definition
of this offense is the designing or the
overturning of the government OF the
state, such intention need not extend
TO every portion OF its territory. 1t is
sufficient If it be an overturning of it in
a particular locality and such intent
may be inferred from the acts com
mitted
III you find from the evidence that
the defendants have or any of them
has committed, participated and aided
in any Of the acts which l have
defined to you as constituting the
offense of treason it will be your
sworn duty to find true bill against
the party or parties offending. We
have reached point in the history Of
the state where there are but two
roads for us to pursue. One leads to
order and good government, the other
leads to anarchy The one great ques-
tion which concerns the people of this
is the enforcement of the law
and the preservation of order"
