The trustees of the Normal have
been dicussing the matter of improv-
ing the lawns and grounds surround
ing the elegant building and have at
last adopted a plan which will pro :
cure the services of one of the best
landscape architects in the county.
They have write n to the leading
florists of the United States, stating
they would give the firm whose
plans they would adopt for laying
out the grounds, their trade fo1
plants. Keene and Foulke, the
large florists firm of Flushing. Long
Island, have secured Mr.. r. Ulrich
the head landscape architect OF
Prospect Park, Brooklyn, N. Y, and
his plan will no doubt be adopted
In looking over the grounds which
consist of about fourteen acres, he
discovered that a lovely lake could
be formed by utilizing the water al
the swamp, back of the school, and
as trees surround it, no doubt the
finest spot on the grounds will be
the wet, damp, unsightly place that
now exists. Large fancy flower beds
will be put in and handsome fence
will enclose the grounds. The
trustees determined not to allow ex.
penses to stand in the way and will
expend thousands of dollars to beau
tify the grounds of one of the best
located and regulated schools in the
country

The Supreme Court of Pennsyl-

fines the duties.of peace officers in
the commonwealth: "By act of April
18th, 1867 it is the duty of every
sheriff, constable, member and off
GERS of police to arrest any and all
persons, who shall be found intoxi-
Gated in any street or public high
way or in any public place or places
where strong spirituous liquors are
sold, publicly kept or disposed of, and
to take such persons before any
magistrate of the vicinity to be dealt
with according to law"
The Easton Call allows no oppor-
tunity of attacking Congressman
Mutchler to escape. The assertion
in a Philadelphia paper that he
would be, candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congressman
this fall in this district is treated by
that paper as q fact, and the
editor predicts that he will be de-
feated by large majority, His fig

Mutchler in Northampton, 500 in

The Church Trial ia sandyston Church.

In accordance with the notices handed
to John Young and John V. Majors they
appeared for trial on Monday p. IN. at 2
o'clock. The first bill of charges were Civ
en- them on Thursday or Friday at which
time they did not state that the notice was
too short which were for unchristian con
duct In the meantime John Young be
came guilty of immoral conduct, bill OF
which charges was added to the bill for
unchristian conduct as was also a bill OF
immoral conduct added to the first bill
presented to John V. Majors.
w. Q. Drake, a chosen member of the
committee, was challenged for cause OF
non-church membership. But he proved
to be church member in good standing
Then he was objected to on the ground OF
having declared himself in regard to the
charges. But he had never heard what
the charges were.
A secretary was appointed and counsel
recognized Ed. Vaness prosecutor for the
complainant read first the bIll of immoral
conduct against John Young The ac
cused was asked to admit or deny. He
denied. At that point the prosecutor called
his witnesses when the said John Youngs
moved for an adjournment on the ground
that he had not time to procure counsel
and notify witness. The trial having al
ready commenced it was too late move
Then he handed the pastor a written state
ment of his case to be read, which cannot
be received as evidence when the
parties are present in person as he and
Majors were. Young and Majors with
drew from the room. The spec ciflcations
were sustained, and the specifications sus-
tanned the charges. After all evidence was
produced the witnesses not being sworn ac
cording to our church law, and they were
found guilty the pastor proceeded to read
the sentence of expulsion.
Geo. e. Hursh as we'll as his brother
Warren were present taking notes which
will no doubt appear characteristic of the
men rather than of the trial.

Easton, March 10 (SpeciaD.- It
has been reported in various quar-
ters that ex-Congressman Howard
Mutchler had decided to be a candi-
date before the Democratic party
this Fall for another term. "The
Press correspondent called on the
ex-Congressman to-day and asked
him if the report was correct. Mr.
Mutchler replied. "Ihave not spok-
en- to any one on this subject in a
way to indicate that am candi-
date, nor am 1. lam attending now
to business, and l can freely say
that l think that young man who
has a business to look after is very
foolish to go to Congress. "

Ex-Congressman Howard Mutch-
Ter has Predetermined to enter poll
tics, and the announcement comes
by way of the Bethlehems that he is
in the field for the Eighth District
nomination this year. Mr. Mutch-
Ter is a bright, active young Demo-
crat, the owner of an assortment of
newspapers and the possessor of very
many equally active friends. His
style in the past has not been pleas
ing or comforting to the old line vo-
ters in Northampton and Monroe, for
as a young general his methods have
been rather at variance with those
followed by the leaders of whom
his father, William Mutchler, was
the chief. But systems change and
his process is really on in the coun-
ties of the district, guided by young
blood and directed with the vim and
enthusiasm of youth, and if Mr..
Mutchler succeeds in winning the
prize he seeks, the old Tenth Legion
will witness a campaign this year in
its long and eventful history such
as it has never before had by way
of experience. And the experience
will waken things up, for Mutchler
runs his own fights.-Philadelphia

to make for mamma or papa as an

is required for the foundation. The
head is made upon the upper por
ton of the bone by applying black
sealing wax, with beads for eyes.
On the head is set cap of red cloth.
Several circles of red cloth are pre-
pared edged with beads through
these the head is thrust, the legs ap-
pearing beneath the edge of the skirt.
Sealing wax also forms the feet. On

Do not mend a kid glove with
sewing silk, for the silk cuts the kid
and shows the mend more plainly,
while fine cotton thread gives a
much more satisfactory result, If
a glove is torn, put a piece of silk OF

part, baste carefully so as not to
reveal the stitches on the right side
and then draw up the rent with cot

Shirt Waist Collars.

Tho scheme to have detachable collars
with shirt waists is very happy
thought Of somebody, and the quick
popularity of this style of waist attests
its general favor. One waist will easily
retain its freshness to wear through two
collars, now that the shirt waist is
such only in name and does not neces-
sarily mean bodice with a shirt front
Some dressmakers also make up the
stylish shepherds plaid silk waists to
be worn with linen collars-white lin
en-, of course, being preferred-though
few plain batiste collars have been
seen. New York Times.
