The MiddletowD public schools closed
yesterday for three months and teachers
and pupils will enjoy respite from
school day tasks. The number of pro-
motions in the various departments is
an indication of the good work done, and
while there are few laggards, the
| general work has been satisfactory.
Last Sunday evening thieves broke
into the meat house of Mrs. James Null
lin on the Derrickson farm about one
mile west of town and carried away 200
pounds of meat. Constable Collins has
been working on the case and informs us
he has information that will justify him
in making an arrest as soon as the parties
can be apprehended.

Church will be held tomorrow morning

The local mill ponds are proving quite
an attraction for fishermen, not only
| from town but from distance Nearly
every week brings several to try the bass.
On Wednesday Messrs Charles H. Sim
mons and Edward Melchior were the
guests of William B. Hates in DAYS
fishing on Noxentown pond, but unfor-
tunately the catch was small as the grass
interferred with the disciples of Walton.
During the past month two gloves have
been stolen from visiting base ball clubs
while playing ball with the local team,
and in justice to the home club we would
like to state that it was not any member
of that organization that committed the
theft, but on one occasion small boy
was seen to pick up one of the large gloves
and walk quickly away with it. Now
that youths name is known to the mem
bers of the club and in future games he
will be closely watched, and if caught
in the act of larceny, he will be dealt with
according to law.
