MILFORD LIBRARY IN RUINS.
The Building and Contents Destroyed by
Fire Last Sunday Morning.

Fire Last Sunday Morning.
At an early hour Sunday morning
the building on Hartford street own
cd by Jas. w. Pinchot and occupied
by the Milford Lyceum Association
for a library and reading room was
discovered to be on fire. The whole
interior of the house seemed to be
ablaze, and although the fire com
panies responded with promptness
and streams of water were quickly
turned ON yet so far had the flames
extended that it was impossible to
save any part of the valuable library
maps or papers belonging to the AS
sociation. The building and con-
tents were totally burned. The
house was insured through the
agency of Ryman and Wells for
$1,000 but there was none on the con-
tents. Several theories have been
advanced as to the origin of the fire,
but none seem TO satisfactorily ex
plain it. Stories are afloat of a lamp
having been removed from a street
light and of the can containing kero-
sene in the building having been
found in another part than where
it is usually kept but there is no de-
finite means of knowing whether
if these rumo1s are true they have
any connection with the fire.
The loss falls heavily on the as
as it deprives them of
books, which cannot easily be re-
placed, and also of a room. 1t is
to conceive that any one
could be so dastardly as to do with
deliberation on act which inflicts
such serious loss ON the community.

Birds as seed-oarrlers.

Two centuries ago the Dutch des-
troyed every nutmeg-tree in the
Moluccas in order to enjoy a mono
poly of the business, having planted
the trees in their own possessions.
In spite of their most earnest efforts
however, the islands were constant
1y being re-stocked. For a long
time the thing was a mystery, but
at length it was solved.
The doves of that quarter of the
world are of large size, and readily
swallow the seeds of the nutmeg.
They traverse wide stretches of sea
and land in a few hours, and deposit
the seeds not only uninjured, but
better fitted for termination by the
heat and moisture Of the bird S sys-
ten.
By a similar process thousands Of
acres of land have been covered
with trees of different kinds, the
birds acting as natures agents in
the dissemination Of plants.
Darwin found in six grains of earth
adhering to the foot Of a plover three
different kinds of seeds, and in mud
sticking to the feet of ducks and
geese shot in England he found the
seeds Of plants peculiar to the Vic
toria Nyanza. in Central Africa,
thus proving not only the extent of
migration, but also the possibility
Of plants appearing in strange loca-
1ities through the agency Of these
birds.
In the mid sticking to the feet of
a Texas steer the seeds Of five diff
ferent kinds of weeds and grasses
common in Texas were found by a
microscopist after the arrival of the
animal in New York. Youths Com

OBITUARY.
MOSES KLLAM ROCKWELL.

The community was surprised to
learn of the death by paralysis, of
this venerable and highly respected
man, last Friday morning. He had
been about the streets on the pro-
ceding day in his apparently usual
health. A near neighbor not seeing
him around as usual went to the
house and he was found sitting in
his chair dead. Evidently he had
not retired on the evening before
and death came to him some time
during the night.
Mr.. Rockwell came of distingu-
ished ancestry and was born in Pal
myra township this county Nov. Is,
1927. He was the son of Lewis
Rockwell who was sheriff of Wayne
county. His father was Jabez Rock
well who was a soldier in the Re
volutionary war.
Many years ago he removed to
Milford and has ever since resided
here, leading a qYiet unostentatious
life working at his trade that of a
carpenter. For long time he was
by II. B. Wells, manufac-
turing tanning mills. Sine the
death of his wife about three years
ago he has been accustomed to spend
part of the winter with his two sons
Lewis and Augustus, of Newark,
who survive him.
The funeral took place Tuesday
from the Methodist church, of
which he had been a con sistent
member for twenty years. Rev.
w. r. Neff officiating.

A ROWDY CROWD.
A Number Of Port Jorvis Men Invades a
Cabbage Patch.

A Number Of Port Jcrvis Men Invades a
Cabbage Patch.
A party of men from Port Jervis
going to Shohola Falls on a hunting
expedition last Saturday, stopped at
Philip Kinkels place on the turn
pike and began helping themselves
to his cabbages, of which he has
some magnificent heads. Mrs. Kin
kel saw them and demonstrated but
hurting obscene epithets at her they
continual to pull the cabbage. She
then called her husband who was
some distance away, and he speedily
come to the scene to try and save
his property. The men seeing him
jumped in their wagon and whipped
up the horses to get away, but Mr..
Kinkel was too quick and jumping
in the road caught the horses by the
heads and stopped them. Where
upon the driver began slashing him
oNer inc head with his whip and one
of the "sportsmen levelling his
gun directly at Mr. Kinkel threat
ened to shoot if he did not release
the team. He was not so easily
frightened however and held on, un-
til seeing he could do nothing with
the men let go and caught some of
his cabbages out Of the wagon, and
the party drove on. The above as
related to us by Mr.. Kinkel himself,
Is an outrage and the parties who
were actively participating in it and
those accessory by sitting quietly
without protest should be punished.
The names of some are known and
when next they visit Pike they may
engage in hunting bail instead of
bear.

subject of intelligent thought o.
cause it shows the causes and re-
lations of things.
Prof. e. L. Kemp occupied the re-
mainder of the morning by talk
on Power Test in the School
Room" He said botany teaches us
to see things as they are, that a
mere definition is of no worth, un-
less you work problems for yourself
you cultivate mechanical power.
Tuesday afternoon, Professor
Twitmyer talked ON the school and
its factors the teacher, lessons and
child. Truth is what is as it is.
knowledge is known truth. The
teacher must find what the pupil
knows-the extent of its knowledge
and lead the child to sum up this
knowledge and put it in a statment.
The teacher must master the lesson,
and not try to teach too much but
always keep the children busy.
Prof. Detweiler also spoke on the
topic, How to put the instruction
given into practice.
In the evening Prof. Twitmyer
lectured on Citizenship. He said
each good trait instilled in the pupil
is a step towards making him a good
citizen. He also spoke on the inn
portance of teaching economy in the
use of school supplies, and this is a
matter which cannot be too strongly
impressed, unless teachers exercise
care, the very thing which the state
intends should be of material benefit
becomes an injury to the child by
cultivating habit of wastefulness.
Obedience teaches respect to law and
this is one of the prime requisites of
of good citizen. 1t also teaches
proper respect for the rights of
others, which is also an important
element in the school room and
state.
Wednesday morning Prof. Kemp
talked on attention this is the de-
gree of energy with which the mind
works, and interest is a first condi-
tion. There are several elements
which enter in this, such as the con-
tent of the child's mind, dependent
on such external conditions, as the
weather, the room, temperature,
light and air. The teacher health
and disposition for the day, the
health of the pupil are all factors.
There must be dicipline and a fixed
idea of good order which is a neces-
sity to attention.
Prof. Twitmyer further talked on
the importance of the teacher hav-
ing a clear mastery of the subject.
The child must learn to think and
to act, to form an opinion and to
state it. He must also be taught to
depend ON himself. The school
should teach the child to conserve
strength that when the test comes
it win not be overdrawn. Man is
known by the result he produces.
The school should develop good
habits and give children systematic
knowledge. 1t should send them
out with some intellectual develop
ment.

Success of the state College.

We are pleased to learn that
an unusual interest is being mani
tested at present in the agricultural
courses at the State College. The
School of Agriculture is daily in re-
ceipt of numbers of requests for in
formation as to these courses, the
demand being so great that it has
been found necessary to print a sec
ond edition of the pamphlet descrip,
tive of the courses. A larger num-
ber of students is registered for the
winter courses in January than
ever before at this time and there
appears to be every prospect that
the contracted quarters now avail
able for the school will be more than
filed.
