Will Obey the Law.

The Nuns employed in the public
school at Frenchville were taken ou,
last week, by order of the Directors
who had been notified that they had
teachers who were teaching in viola.
tion of the Garb law. One of the
Directors, F, l.. Coudriet, proposed
making test case of it, but when he
found on advice of Frank Fielding
that they were violating the law in
employing the Nuns, he very wisely
dropped his test case and the school
is now awaiting teacher.

Growth Of the Tourists System,

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
through its personally-conducted tourist
system and the uncxcelled standard Of high
service has won an enviaLle record for itself.
These tours have grown to be thoroughly
appreciated in this age of luxurious travel,
and the series announced for the season of
'9G and 81 admirably illustrates the progress
of the times.
First comes series to the Golden Gate,
starting from New York, Philadelphia, and
Harrisburg, January 81. February "a, and
March 81. Tourists will travel by superbly-
appointed special trains of Pullman compart-
ment, drawing room sleeping, dining, smok-
ing, and observation cars under the super
vision Of Tourist Agent and Chaperon.
Next in Importance comes series OF four
to Florida-January &C. February and %
and March 8. The first three admit of two
weeks in the sunny South, while tickets fol
the fourth tour are good to return by regular

A series Of short tours to Washington from

LOOKING FOR LOST MARKS.
TO avoid this acts were passed few
years ago the legislatures of this state and
Delaware authoring a commission from
each commonwealth to examine, survey
and re.cstablish the boundaries" &c The
commissioners from Pennsylvania were
Hon. Wayne MacNeigh, Robert L. Mona
CHAN and William II Miller. Delaware's
commission was composed of Hon. Thomas
+. Dayard, Hon. j. IL. llotfecker and DR..
B. S. Lewis. The work was completed hy
the joint commission in 1893. The initial
monument is OF Brandywino granite,
quarried in Delaware. The terminal point
near the Delaware river is of gneiss. They
are marked with the names Pennsylvania
and Delaware, north and south sides re-
spectively, and other inscriptions. Each
stone is set four feet and a-half in the
earth aud firmly secured by cement. The
% mile and % half-mile stones are of
gneiss and properly marked.
The triangular stone at the junction Of
the three states is marked ''P. Al. and D.
respectively, and carries the names Of the
commissioners who refxed it in 1S49. This
is the spot where the reported duel between
Bennett and May, of New York, was to
have occurred.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Peach Crop.

Peaches are now about done falling and
a fine crop is assured against everything
less than cyclones. 1t IS about fair es-
innate to say this years crop will be al
most equal to the crop of 1893 The
June drop has not been heavy except on
trees that were not properly titled last
season and upon those that produced a
full crop last year. Farmers can rest as
sured that their fancy fruit, at least, we'll
packed, will bring good prices at the sta
ton, but poor fruit, badly and carelessly
packed, will not find ready sale any
where. We would advise growers to pack
their fancy yellow fruit in Georgia car
riers, and when this is done good prices
can be obtained at the Milford station.
Growers must pack their fruit with more
care this year than formerly and buyers
will insist upon the growers name beng
OIL each package. Pack your fruit with
care aud you are assured fair prices for
same at your home station.

CONSERVATION Meetlng.

The regular monthly roll-call aud con-
secration meeting of the Epworth League
of the Avenue NJ. E. Church took place
on Sunday evening last and was largely
attended About fifty of the members
responded to their names and had some.
thing to tell of what the Lord and Saw
Jour was doing for them. Edward P
Aldred, of Philadelphia, who with his fam.
lily is a guest of Milford friends, talked
entertainingly aud intelligently on the
subject of the meeting and when the con
secration services we're begun the altar
was filed with those who own the cruel
fed and arisen Lord Jesus as their per-
sonal Saviour. The meeting was very
interesting one and the spirit Of the Lord
was present with His own Enthusiastically.
The Epworth League is furnishing and
the work they have planned and are do.

Successful Strawberry Culture.

T. w. Middleton, living one mile south
west of Milford, will pick this year 20, 900
quarts of Strawberries from a trifle less
than four acres of land. His berry patch
is the finest IN this section aud truly a
magnificent one. The rows are planted
three feet apart and the spread is such
that the plants occupy fully half the
ground. The plants are strong and Wig
orous, standing about a foot high, and the
fruit has been uniformly large Mr. Mid
dleton's berries have been of the Bubach
variety, but he grows several others. The
secret. if there is any, of his success with
strawberries, lies in frequent cultivation
and a wholesale use of barHyard and
chemical manures His average receipts
this year, per quart, clear of picking, pack
ages, freIghts aud commission will be be-
tween and cents. Thus four acres
will net close to $1,000.
Mr., Middleton has a I4-acre peach or
chard that is so loaded with fruit that it
will probably yield from 1000 to 5000
baskets of fruit.-We7OS.
