The Golden Earle Mounted,

The large golden eagle shot by Peter
Sandel of West Hemlock township on
March 7th last has been mounted by
Charles H. EIdon, the well known
taxidermist of Williamsport, and is
now on exhibition III the window of NJ.
H. Schram's store, Mill street.
1t is a most striking specimen, not
only ON account of its rarity, but also
owing to the artistic pose given the
proud and defiant bird, which is perch
ed upon limb, evidently in the act
of springing down upon its prey, its
out-stretched wings of nearly seven
feet, taking i'll the entire width of the
window.
The mounted specimen is the prop
erty of James Scarlet, Esq, who prizes
it most highly. 1t is safe to say that
it has no counterpart any where in

Monday afternoon under the act of
Assembly of July II, 1901. Two chill
dren of the defendant, Francis, aged
II, and Eva 10, have been III school
very little of late, the boy missing 40
days and the girl 53 days during the
term.
The hearing took place before Justice
Bare in the evening, Ralph Kisner ap-
pearing for the school board. Mr..
Ludlow pleaded guilty. He knew,
he said, that his children should attend
school and was not aware that they
were out so much of the time. The
law imposes a penalty of 81 for the
first otfense and 50 for all subsequent
offences In addition to the 81 fine
Mr.. Ludlow had the costs to pay,
which ran his bill up to 81. so 1t
would have been higher had not Justice
Bare out of consideration for the fact
that the present was the first case of
its kind tried reduced his "costs" to
$50. The justice wishes it under
stood that after this costs will be kept
up to the limit The defendant was
not able to liquidate fine and costs last
night but he made satisfactory provi-
sion for the payment of both.
