Death of Margaret Pritts Hastoa. Margaret, relict of the late Chambers Huston, of this place, died at the family residence, on South Main Cross street, Sunday evening, aged 86 yenrs and 1 mouth. While her death was not unex pected, it nevertheless came in the na ture of a shock, as she had eaten a hearty break iit and appeared uunsnnlly blight throughout the early part of the day. Mrs. Huston was one of Somerset's old est and most highly valued christain mothers. She leaves a family of grown children, only one of whom Miss Mary remains at home. .The survivors are John, Alexander and Mrs. Frederick Weiiner, Somerset, Samuel, of Mor gantown, W.

HAPPY TEACHEKS 40th Annas! Institute an Unqualified Caceess. The "fortieth annual session of tho Somerset County Teaeherf Institute has passed into history and all who took part in its deliberations feel that it w ill go to make up one of the brlgbest pages in the educational annals of the county. Tbe attendance was equally as large as at any former session, many persons I ic ing turned away st eacli meeting unable to gain admission to the Court riMtm iii which tbe Institute was held. So anx ious, in fact wero soule to le present and enjoy the proceedings, that tbe room was half-filled fifteen minutes after tbe morn ing session adjournrd by ladies and gen tlemen who patiently waited until tbe af ternoon programme was taken up. The very best of order was maintained throughout the week and teachers and pupils appeared eager to drink in the words of w isdom and adopt the helpful suggestions dropped by the eminent in structors. Equal interest was manifested in tbe meetings devoted entirely to teach ers, where views were interchanged as to tlie Itt-st methods to be adopted in school rooms and to listening to essays on edu cational topics. It is a genuine pleasure for young men and ladles engaged in the occupation of teaching to sit in tho presence of such able aud practical teachers as Superin tendent Walton, of the Wett Chester Nor mal, Dr. Noss, of the California Normal, and Prof Chapiu, of Rochester, N. Y., and feel tho inspiration of their presence and enjoy tho rare atmosphere which surrounds them. That teacher must have beou a dullard indeed who failed to be inspired by Prof Walton and who re turned to his school-room unprepared to discharge the duties devolving upon hiui better than ever befaro. It is perhaps, not too much to bay that Prof. Walton imparted more helpful aud practical in struction during the week than niuety per cent of the learned gentlemen en gaged in tbe same commendable work, who have preceded him in tbis county. He was not only a prime favorite with tha teachers present but with ail who heard hiiu. Dr. Noss, who is recognized as cue of the most thoughtful, careful and success ful educators in Pennsylvania, was e,sily at ease with his audience, many of whom were his devoted friends and admirers. The Dr. has been a visitor at our County Institutes for a number of years past, aud has probably done moro to qualify tho teachers of this county, through the med ium of the California Normal, than any oilier man in tha statu. Prof. Chapin is an earnest and practi cal educational worker and his various talks, some or them on very dry sul.jwU, were embellished in a manner that held tho interest of his hearers from start to finish. The musical director exceeded the expectations of his audieuco and made himself popular, and vener able Dr. Home, of Allentown, delivered practical talks. A notable feature of the week was an unexpected visit from ex-County Super intendent J. M. Berkey, now City Super intendent of tho Johnstown Public Schools, w ho was greeted with rounds of applause by the teachers and who made one of tho liest addresses deiiverec' liefore the Institute, Before final adjournment tho usual res olutions, thj most notable of w-hi-.-h were those favoring central township High Schools and disapproving the practice of employing unqualified home teachers rather than qualified teachers fron? other districts," were ad opted. It is not the province of a weekly news paper to fully report the proceedings of a Tt-achcrs Institute, but rather to chron icle the success or failure or such meet ings, with a view to encouraging those engaged in teaching the youth or tbe Coin m-Mi wealth to greater effort and higher ambition. Superintendent Pritts and tho teachers associated with him have good reason to feel proud of the suci-cks that attended their first effort EVEXISO KXTKHTAISMK.NTS. The lecture course, that has grown to bo such popular feature of Institute week, was exceptionally well selected to please a heterogeneous audiene-e. We last week told how "The Poet Judge" sung his way to tho hearts of his hearers on Monday night Tuesday night Hon. H. W. J. Ham, of Georgia, lectured on "The Snollygoster in Polities," an individual whom he do picted as lieing engaged in preying upon the dear people for mercenary purposes, aud w ithout personal or party principle, w illing to start a new party tho moment he is unable to rule the one in which he finds himself. Tho leisure aliounded with humor and sounded a noto of warn ing to those who cherish and would pre serve American institutions. "Under a White Umbrella," was tho ubjoct of a resi ling br F. Hopkinson Smith, the popular novelist aud artist, on Wednesday night Notwithstanding the rail that the audience, was taken on a visit to Cordova, Amsterdam, Venice and the City or Mexico, in all of which places they were permitted V) enjoy the various sights w ith the discerning eye of an art ist under his white umbrella and to min gle with all classes or people iu their nat ural habitat, we feel tint tho journey was unappreciated by a large lortion of the great audience. Most of Mr. Smith's bearers expected to hear a lecture of a siinilai character to the one that imme diately preceded if, and when they dis ,i,riTiia - wi"n fnoJV ' rTn-'-- 1 covered their mistake, could not sup press their disapjiointment A young lady, as she left the Opera House, re marked to her escort: "Some people came here expecting to get a chromo and were disappointed w heu they were pro Rented w ith a steel engraving. I should love to hear Mr. Smith read every word in his sketch book." Thursday night's cntertafinnent was a delightful two hours of song' by the Arions, a quartette of lady vocalists, re lieved by an admirable recitationist Mr. Cooke.

Highest of all in Leavening Tower, j i w y ABSOSLITELY PURE Death of a Venerable Cititen. Henry Schlag, Sr., one of the lst know n and most worthy citizens of Som erset county, died at his home in Bakers Tilie, on Friday, December 11, lti!. He was born ou August II, lsll, in Darm stadt, Germany, and emigrated to Amer ica in 1832, when twenty-one years of age. Shortly after landing ho settled at Bak ersville, whore he fallowed his trade of shoemaker, and where ho married Mary Baker. Six children were liorn as the fruits of this union, xlz : Matilda, Paul, B., John, Julia, Franklin, who died in 1870, and Haury.

Mr. Schlag united with the Reformed Church in the Fatherland and was al ways connected with that denomination, passing away iu the firm faith of the Christian religion. He was one of the oldest surviving mem tiers of the Somerset Masonic Ixulge and was always interested in the welfare of that order. The funeral took place Sjnday after noon, when religious servi'-es were con ducted by Rev. Hiram King, assisted by Revs. Harkey aud Gebbart Interment was made in tho cemetery noar bis home. About thirty members of the Masonic fraternity wero present at the funeral.

From tlie Johnstown Tribune James II. Harlow, Kugineer Inspector of the State Bjard or Health, alieges that one or Johnstown's twin rivers the Stonycreek contains the bacteria that cause typhoid revcr in great uumbvrs, and that they have been carried almost from the source down the stream, spread ing at various points on the way as rar west as Pittaburg. Typhoid has lieen unusually prevalent in tho Smoky City far some time past, and Mr. Harlow, who lives there, set about to discover the cause if possible. In conjunction with Secretary Benjamin Lee, of the Stato B-iard of Health, letters were sent out to alsmt forty tow ns along the Allegheny River and its tributaries. These letters contains.) a iist of questions relative to tbe water supply, sewage sys tem, tho number of cases or typhoid, diarrhoea, and dysentery, aud the num ber ordoaths from these causes since the first of the present year. Rcplie3 received indiciicJ that there was no typhoid fever aliciij the Alle gheny or any of its branches ex'vpt the Kiskiminetas. A littlo closer investiga tion induced Mr. Harlow to follow the river to Johnstown to see w hieli of the two streams joiuiug here to form the Conemaugh might lie guilty of carrying the germs. At Blairsville he found that during the year there bad leeu forty-two cases of typhoid fever and threo deaths. Th's city, np to October 1st had thirty-threo cases and twelve deaths. This is regard ed as an exceptionally high death rate. Going on up the stream and its tributa ries, he found thnt Davidsville, Somerset county, with a population of about nine ty persons, hsd thirteen cases during the present year, but no deaths. No evi dence of tho disease was found ab ve this point It is the opinion of the Engineer In spector that tho fever germs were carried down the stream from Davidsville and caused the disease at the various places on the way where it had prevailed. Mr. Harlow looked into the water sup ply of Johnstown and says no danger whatever lurks in tha waters of the Mill Creek or St Clair reservoirs, ly.it that of the Stonycreek is contaminated.
