A Curtin TowxsHIr SciHoorn HOUSE
4
DEMOLISHED.—Ever since the building of | ments of Lock Haven’s municipal affairs
the new school house No. 5, in Curtin town-
ship, there has been trouble in that locality |
as to its location and Monday night it |
reached a climax in the complete destrue- |
tion of the building with all of its contents.
The work of demolishing it was
plished by the agencies of dynamite and
fire. The building was a substantial stone
sstructure, thoroughly equipped with patent
desks and having all the improvements nec-
essary to the comfort of scholars. Some
months ago an attempt was made to burn
it down. The door was broken open and
the stove overturned, but, aside from the
burning of a few holes in the floor, no dam-
age was done. As if maddened by this
failure those who hoped for its destruction |
waited until last Monday night when, with
the use of dynamite, it was wrecked and
fired. The building is a total loss, with all
of its contents. The school term would
have ended next week.
The case of this school house is one of
considerable interest, since it has already
heen a bone of contention in the courts of
Centre county.
About two years ago David McCloskey,
Jr., and his son-in-law, Jeffrey Walker,
brought suit against the school board of the
Curtin district to compel the directors to
afford educational facilities for their respect-
ive families, consisting in all of about nine
accom- |
children of school age. Judge Furst ap-
pointed Hon. John A. Woodward an in- |
spector to take testimony in the case and
render his report. The testimony taken
showed that McCloskey and Walker lived
about four miles north of the nearest
school house, which is Quay’s
Romola, and about two miles from the set-
tlement on the top of the Allegheny moun- |
tains. It was also shown by the testimony |
that the school directors had for several |
terms employed a teacher and held a school |
in one of the complainants’ houses, but for |
school at |
some reason or other had stopped off one |
term after the suit had been brought.
court decreed that proper school facilities
should be offered the complainants’ child-
ren. The school directors then sent
teacher to their homes and conducted
school for a six-months’ term.

OLD IN THE HOTEL BUSINESS. —Possibly
one of the most remarkable instances of
longevity to be seen in any part of the
country is a daily sight at Chamberlain’s
hotel at Warriors-mark. in Huntingdon
county. That hostlery is stilt managed by
old Mr. Chamberlain, though he was eighty |
five years old on St. Patrick's day. His |
wife is not far behind him in years, as she |
about three
passed her four-score stone
weeks ago.
The aged couple are happy and still in
possession of all their faculties. When the
husband was only twenty years old and |
his wife but fifteen they were married. All i
cfive years of wedded life
they have heen as congenial as was their
early honey-moon.
For fifty-three years they have catered to |
the wants of travelers in that section and
meals at Chamberlain’s are famed far and
near by those who have partaken of them.
Under the same roof lives the eldest son,
with his family, and it is needless to say
that he is no longer young. In truth he is
a great grand father which fact makes the |
elder Chamberlain a great great grand |
father. |
Every year there is a family reunion ad
which more than a hundred sons and |
daughters, grand sons and grand daughters, |
great grand sons and great grand daughters
and great great grand sons and great great
