Judge Mcpherson sustains the
Hummelstown School Board, which
excluded from the public schools of
that town 1856 pupils whose parents
refused to comply with the order of
the Board as to vaccination. The
Court holds that while the vaccina-
tion law is in conflict with the com.
pulsory attendance act, the vaccina-
tion law was passed last, and takes
precedence of the other.
An exchange says parties wishing
their letters to go in hurry should

When the magic words appear on
the envelope everybody connected
with the postal service jumps around
lively. The cart driver whips his
horses into trot, the postmaster
dances jig and the route agent
rushes forward and tells the engi
neer to pull the throttle wide open
aud let her go.
