School Matters.

The principal of the Woodbury. public
schools was in town on Saturday, and
viewed the exhibits of work done by the
pupils of the Mount Holly schools. He
was highly delighted with it, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the system of
teaching used in the schools here are
the best in South Jersey.
On Friday the public school building
was open to give the friends of the school
a chance to inspect the work of the past
year. Each room had various specimens
displayed which showed labor on the part
of the pupil, careful instruction by the
teacher, and gave indisputable proof that
our public schools are no mean factors in
the cause of education.
The election of nine trustees is not
creating much interest thus far. There
will probably be a number of candidates
when the time arrives for election, Sew
eral gentlemen have been named in con-
nection with the position, bnt we are I'M
able to state how many are willing to ac-
cept The members of the present board
are candidates for reelection, subject to
the will of the voters. THE News will
give an authentic list of those who will
serve after the time for the election is
fixed.
The Mirror says 1.-THE Board of Trus-
tees of the public school met on Monday
night and elected the teachers for the en-
suing year. As their acts now are not
binding upon the new Board of nine
members to be chosen in July, re-elec-
ton will be required as soon as the change
is made, and Monday nights action seems
like useless proceeding" 1t would
have that appearance but for provision
in the new law which provides that the
consolidated district assumes all debts Of
the respective districts of which it is
composed, and is bound By all contracts ana
other obligations entered into by the re
8 spective districts prior to July LIST, 1894
AS the law is general in lts provision
this clause applies to all districts
o whether consolidated, or otherwise. Wha
I, objection there is to the election Of thu
q teachers named is not PLAIN. They arr
! the same efficient corps that have served
o acceptably the past year-some of then
several years-with one exception, ant
that is a lady who possesses the legal ant
mental qualifications for the position, anC
:. it Is not likely that new board of trus
- tees would feel inclined to make a change

were the recipients of a large number of
useful and costly presents. An elegant

An unknown man was found dead near
Palmyra Friday morning. His appear
ance would indicate that he belonged to
the Grand Army. He was six feet one
inch in height, weighed about 40 pounds,
gray hair and heavy gray moustache.
There was nothing on the body to iden-
tify him. He had P. r. r. ticket which
bad been bought in Philadelphia on the
18th and was good from Riverton to Phil
adelphia. He had pair of steel spec
tacles in his pocket. He was dressed in
blue flannel suit. soft hat, clean under
wear, striped shirt, blue necktie. and low
shoes. He was about sixty years of age.
The body is in the care of Coroner
Horrer, of Palmyra, awaiting identified
ton. From articles in his possession it is
inferred that the man came from the
lower end of Philadelphia.
The body has been identified as that of
Charles Wigmore, of Philadelphia. Mr.
Wigmore resided with his son at No. 2034
South Sixth street. He left home on
Tuesday morning, and not returning at
night search was begun, but without
finding any trace of the missing man.
The description of the body published led
to the Identification. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Wigmore started to visit a brother
living at Riverton, but, becoming confused.
he got off at Palmyra and wandered to
the place where the body was found. He
was subject to fainting spells and evident
ly died in one of them.

chicken pests The COW shed was burned
down and the stable on the premises Of

over to the law. The respectable people
of this quiet community are disgraced by
