only one negative vote, pledging the

A DISPATCH from New York yesterday
says government and railroad bonds are
strong and State bonds inactive. AS
foreign dealings are more in the two

the news may be construed to mean
that the financial situation is good and
constantly improving.

IT is reported from Colon that the
new French company, which Is push-

Panama canal, Is trying to sell the un.

Panama route is much the shorter, and

done there. The engineering obstacles

The postal authorities have author
ICED a change in the form of money
orders to be issued hereafter, but
postmasters will not be supplied
with the new forms until the old
ones are exhausted. The changes
are not material, although the new
order will be a trihe smaller than
the old. The assignment will be
placed on the back, and the figures
at the right side of the order will be
duplicated on the back, so that the
amount for which the order is drawn
can be determined from an in
spection on either side. The seal of
the department will be noticed in
the center of the order, being made
in the tint Of the paper. While the
manufacture of the new form was
begun by the department ON the 2sth
OF May they will not be in general
use for some weeks yet.

abolishes all previous legislation
affecting country roads, and pro.
vides another system. 1t authorizes
the county commissioners, when
ever they deem it necessary, to
suryey and make plans of the roads

proved by the Grand Jury and the
Court. The law is not mandatory
After going through the court

given the right to proceed to view and
take for the county any property
necessary for roads, subject to n
system ofappeals and exceptions. The
bill provides for the appointment of

The Bloomsburg Normal School.

Every alumnus and friend OF the
Bloomsbury State Normal School,
will doubtless be glad to learn
'tIrtthe past yea-l although che OF
general business depression, has
been the most successful in the
history of the school. There have
been in attendance during the year
more than seven hundred students.
The graduating class this year mum
Der one hundrd and fifty, aud is
considered in many respects the
strongestin scholarship and teaching
ability that has ever been graduated
from the school. The junior class is
also one of unusal promise. There
is every indication that the growth
: of the school and the excellence of
the students next year, will even
4 surpass those of the present year.
Every effort has been made dur
ing the year to strengthen the var.
ious departments. New apparatus
has been added, additional instruc.
tors have been employed and the
spirit of progress has pervaded the
entire institution.
Athletics have received their du,
attention during the year. 1t il
very gratifying to be able to sa.
that students, almost without ex
ception. have shown in their gym
nastic work and on the athletic field
a desire to develop themselves phys
ically, rather than a desire to gail
, notoriety by feats of strength o
agility.
During the year the much talke
of Pollard synthetic method @
teaching primary reading was inve
tigated and tested by the school il
a most practical way. The work i
to become permanent feature c
the school.

per day, whose report is also subject
to exceptions for thirty days after
being filed. The court has power
to confirm, modify, or alter the
report.
The bill also provides that bids
must be regularly taken on all i'm
provements made, contracts to go
to the lowest and best bidder. It
applies to county bridges as well as
roads.
The bill does not permit levy of
more than two mills for road build
ing purposes. All roads or parts
thereof remain under the charge of
the Township Supervisors, as at
present, until the commissioners
report, or the report of the viewers,
covering their improvements is
confirmed by the Court. Then they
become public county roads, and
the Supervisors are relieved from
their care.
1t is not expected that anything
will be done under the bill this year,
although an effort may be made in
some built.up sections, where there
is now no power to make proper inn
provements.
