JL1ph BLOOMSBUEO NORMAL SCHOOL. CONTINUED. On the 23d of June, the Board met to consider the subject of the Normal School Building. It was "Resolved, that the following specific articles be put in the corner-stone of the new building, to-wit : A copy of the Bible, a certified copy of the charter, names of the Board of Trustees as follows : L. B. Rupert, President ; John G. Freeze, Secretary; Klias Mcndenhall, Treas urer ( Robert F. Clark, Conard Bitten bender, John Wolf, Joseph P.

At 1:30 p. m., the Hon. C. L. Ward, delivered an oration in the hall of the Institute. At its close a procession was formed, headed by the Board of 1 rustees, and proceeded to the corner where the stone was to be placed. Arrived there and opening to the right and left, Gov. Geary, Mr. Wickersham, and other distinguished gentleman, came forward. Rev. Mr. Waller of fered prayer. Gov. Geary then laid the corner stone, after having deposited within it, the articles mentioned. After the stone had been placed, with appropriate ceremonies, the Governor made an address. Judge Elwell then, on behalf of the Board of Trustees made an address, Judge Rupert, read a history of the Institute as deposited in the corner stone. Governor Geary then handed the plans of the new uuilding to Prof. Carver, with a short address ; Prof. Carver accepted them, promising to urge the completion of the building as rapidly as possible. In the evening Mr. Wickersham met and addressed a large audience, in the hall of the Institute, on the subject of edu cation generally, and of Normal Schools, particularly. Thus this new and important enter prise was fairly under way, and a reasonable prospect of sufficient inter est in it to insure its completion. There was still a small element of croakers, clogs on all progress, who sneered at the whole matter and pre dicted it would never succeed, As it is imciKicu uuu mcir names snail uc forgotten, they do not appear in this sketch. What do they think now, however, when they see following that enter prise, the erection of the best hotel within the forks of the Susquehanna the building upon Second St. of more than a dozen first-class three story brick buildings of extensive improvements and repairs in all parts of the town the erection of an Opera House the introduction of gas and water the re moval of unsightly obstructions from the streets the opening, grading and extension of thoroughfares the large influx of permanent and desirable citi zens. It is but fair to say thatjlittle, if any, of all this would have happened had not those buildings first been erected. They are an advertisement of the town of which it has not yet shown itself to be, collectively, entirely ap preciative. It was the first determined effort at improvement and progress, and it was an effort whose far-reaching good never can be measured. And it brings money, reputation, and popula tion to the town, as well as providing healthful educational influences to thousands of. our coming men and women. On the 19th of February, 1869, the Legislative committee, enmnosed nt Messrs. Hon. Wilmer Worthington, I Hon. James C. Brown, Hon. George 1). Jackson, and Hon. Henry M. Hoyt, met at Bloomsburg for the pur pose of inspecting the buildings, grounds, &c preparatory to recom mending it to recognition as a Normal School. The report was unanimously favorable, and the announcement was heard with lively satisfaction. Speeches were made by Judge Rupert, Hon. Thomas Chalfant, Gen. Knt, and others. On the 22nd February, 1869, the proclamation of the Department, re cognizing it as a State Normal School, was published, and our legal existence dates from that famous day, the birth day of Washington. The following is the full report of the State Superintendent of common schools on the official recognition of State Normal School of the sixth dis trict : "A communication, was received at this department, dated February 8th, 1 8C9, and signed by L. B. Rupert, I'resuicnt, and John If. I reeze, Secre tary, of the Board of Trustees, of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute, stating that said board had obtained gTounds, erected buildings, and opened a school, which they desired to have inspected by a committee appointed according to the provisions of the act of Assembly approved May 20th, 1857, with the design of having the institution recog nized as the State Normal School of the Sixth District. Accordingly, with the consent of the Governor, the following named gentlemen were appointed the com mittee : Hon. Wilmer Worthington, Hon. Jas. C. Brown, Hon. Geo. D. Jackson and Henry M. Hoyt j the several County Superintendents in the counties composing the district were notified and Friday, the 19th day of February, was agreed upon as the day for the examination. All the members of the committee were present on the day appointed, and they, in connection with the State Superintendent of Common Schools, and the County Superintendents of the counties of Columbia, Mon tour and Union, proceeded, at 9 o'clock A. M., to discharge the duties of their appointment. They first at tended the opening exercises of the school in the Chapel of the institu tion, and then spent some time in visiting the several class-rooms and listening to recitations in the vari ous branches. After this, they were conducted by members of the Board of Trustees and delegations of citizens over the grounds and through the buildings. All the official papers ap pertaining to the institution were duly examined, its deeds, charter, by-laws, rules .and regulations. Full explana tions were elicited in reference .to the organization of the school, the consti tution of its faculty, its plan of study, &c, &c. , i The committee retiring for. consulta tion, then organized by electing Wil mer Worthington, President, ami T, 1 o 1 .1 - r.

This report was signed by the com mittee. TO BE CONTINUED. , 11 The People Must Pay. It is easy enough to say dogmatic ally that increased tariff duties do not mean increased prices to the consumer that "the foreigner pays the tax and that local competition in the home market keeps the actual cost within reasonable limit. But there is no argument so potent or convincing as the cold facts. Those facts the World presents in other col nmns, and if there were any reaVroom tor doubt on the subject before, there is none now. Some of the truths readily deduced from the admirably arranged comparative tables may be summarized briefly. The duty on anvils was increased one hall cent a pound. The price has advanced about half as much. By the strongest instance the Sen ate conferrecs compelled McKinley to leave the window irlass duty as before, But the Administration bill has enabled the trust to raise prices four times and yet another advance is anticipated. The duty on raisins was increased one cent a pound. The price has ad vanced twelve cents on a twenty-pound box. The duty on prunes was increased one cent a pound. The price of the domestic article has advanced four cents and of those imported nearly as much. There was no duty on evaporated apples under the old tariff. 1 hey are now taxed two cents a pound. The price has advanced six and one-half cents a pound. Canned peas were taxed 30 per cent under the old tantt. , I hey now pay 40 per cent. I he price has advanced tour cents a can. A like increase was made in the duty on Lima beans. Tne price has advanced from five to eight cents.ji can. The duty on smoked beef was in creased one cent a pound. The price has advanced exactly that amount. The tax on shotguns was increased by the imposition of a specific duty of trom $ 4 to $6 each. The price has advanced $5 on all standard grades. An additional specihe duty ot 10 cents a yard was placed on ginghams. The price has advanced 50 per cent Under the old tariff the ad valorem duty on plusli garments was 40 per cent. Now it is sixty. The retail price has advanced from $1 to $2 on each garment. Only one firm in this country makes these goods. It has promptly raised prices to jobbers from 10 to 25 per cent. Linen goods and velvets have gone up a like amount. The Amoskeag company also has rais ed the price of prints one fourth of a cent a yard. That this company need ed further "protection for its infant industry" is clearly shown by the fact that its net profits last year were only $471,324. Next year they will be more. These are only a few of the many instances of cause and effect shown by the tables of comparative and prices. It must also be rerr duties remember ed that these changes have taken place in less than one month since the trust tariff became law. How great will be the advances when a year shall have expired is a matter only of apprehen sive conjecture. World. Husband and Wife.

How the Goal Miners Look at It. The coal trade articles in the Phila delphia and New York newspapers give glowing accounts of the healthy condition of the business. Up here where the black diamond is shipped to market, the miners are little better off than in the winter of '88, when on strike. Half time and less has been the rule for the past two months. When the miner reads in the papers about the "trade" being in good con dition and demand brisk, and then looks at his monthly time check con taining twelve to thirteen days, he is bewildered Lansford Jiecord.

Dutch Windmills. You scarcely can stand anywhere in Holland without seeing from one to 20 ind mills. Mauy of them are built in the form ot a two story tower, the second story being smaller than the first, with a balcony at its base from which it tapers upward until the cap like top is reached. High up, near the roof, the great axis juts from the wait; and to this are fastened two prodigious arms. formed somewhat like ladders, bearing great sheets of canvas, whose business is to catch the mischief maker and set him at work. These mills stand like huge giants guarding the country. Their bodies are gouerally of dark red; and their heads, or roofs, are made to turn this way and that, according to the direction of the wind. Their round eve- window is always staring. Altogether. they seem to be keeping a vigilant watch in every direction. Sometimes tltoy stand clustered together; sometimes alone, like silent seutiuelb; sometimes in long rows like ranks of soldiora You see them risiug from tho midst of factory buildings, by the cottages, on the poldois (the polders are lakes pumped dry and turned into farms); on the wharves; by the rivers; along the canals; on tho dykes; iu the cities every where! Hol land wouldu t be Holland without its windmills, any more than It could bo Holland without its Dykes and its Dutch men. Mary Mapes Dodge, in St. Nich olas. Caterpillar Sulml. A veteran who had bocu through half dozen campaigns, ami was very iwir- ticular about what bo ate, was invited out to a grand dinner party. He sat almost directly opposite tho hostess, and was painfully conscious that every movo ho made could be observed by her. Sud denly, at the height of tho festivities. the veteran came across a caterpillar in his salad. A furtive glanco at tho ho-tess disclosed the fact that she, too, had discovered tlio embarrassing circum stance. It was a critical moment, but the old soldier was equal to tho occasion. Without changing a muscle, ho gathered up the caterpillar with a forkful of salad and swallowed botlu The look of gratitude which ho received from his hostess a few minutes later warmed his heart Iu due time the story leakod out, and when somebody asked tlio old campaigner how he liked caterpillar salad the reply came like a red hot shot: "Do you tako me for a man who would noil a dmnor party for a little thing like a caterpillar?"
