Louis Townsend has purchased the
stock of the watchmaker and jeweler
at Berwick and will soon locate there.
He has leased a room in the Jackson
building, a few doors from the Nation
al bank. Mr. Townsend is a fine, and
careful workman, has had experience
in the leading jewelry store at Carlisle,
a graduate of the Ophthalmic college
of Chicago, and withal a first-class bus
iness man. We are glad to learn of
his location in Berwick, and wish him
the abundant success his ability de
serves. The Columbian last week con
tained about eleven columns of matter
concerning the Normal School and
Commencement week exercises. The
paper was on sale with a synopsis of
all the essays and orations within an
hour after their delivery. This exhi
bition of newspaper enterprise was re
warded by the sale of about 700 extra
copies of the paper. We are indebted
to Prof. Albert fur much valuable as
sistance in preparing the reports, and
to Keller Albert for his efficiency as a
newsboy.

hold their annual pic-nic at Central
this year on the 23d of this month
(Thursday). If the weather should be
unfavorable that day, excursion will
go next day. Everybody invited.
The many patrons of The Colum

ly and cheerfully to our request
for settlement of subscription arrear
ages, have our thanks. There are
still a number from whom we would
like to hear
It is estimated that seven hundred
people attended the excursion up the
B. & S. to Central on triday, from
Espy, Bloomsburg, Lightstreet, and
Orangeville. It was a bright day, and
everything passed off pleasantly,
Quite a number of the party dined at

George Breisch of Main township
is announced this week as a candidate
for sheriff. His name should have
appeared two weeks ago, but the copy
was accidentally lost, and its on.ission
was not observed by the editors until
attention was called to it this week.
The omission was entirely uninten
tional, and we regret that it happened.
Be a man I Some men take a news
paper for four our five years without
paying for it, and then when a bill is
presented they get mad and say, "the
paper is no good anyhow. There's
nothing in it." If you don't like a
newspaper, pay up and stop it. Don t
sponge on the editor for several years
and then abuse him when he wants
his pay. Be a man !
It is said that the body of Smiler,
one of the men executed at Sing Sing
by electricity, on Tuesday, was bad
ly burned. His face was scarred and
seamed, his eyes mutilated, his hair,
mustache and eyebrows singed off,
and his left leg burned to the
bone by the electrodes. The bodies
ot the other three murderers were
buried in quick time.
The past year at the Normal schoo!
has been one of the most successful in
the history of the school. Prof J. P.
Welsh and his estimable wife have
proven themselves entirely competent,
Prof. Welsh is not only a thorough
disciplinarian, a man of broad views,
and extensive learning, but he is also
a man of plain, common-sense, every
day, practical business ideas, and he
carries these into the management of
the school in all that he does. The
prospects for a large attendance in the
fall are very bright
It is a source of gratifiicattonto the
citizens of Columbia County to know
that the Wilkes Barre & Western Rail
Road has completed its line to Orange

citizens of Bloomsburg and throughout
the entire Fishingcreek valley, desiring
to visit the north western portions of

SUPERINTENDENT JOHNSTON'S
EEPORT-
On assuming my official duties most
of the schools of the county were found
to be in fair condition . however a
number were not in as good condition
as they may and should be.
Good work wherever observed and
there has been some good work done
this year has been encouraged and
impractical methods have been dis
couraged. Substantial buildings were erected :
in Orange, Fishingcreek, and Sugarloaf !
townships. One in each. I
Slate black-boards were put in one ;
scnooi m uemiocic. tnree in oreen
wood, and seven in Locust. Locust
now has such boards in all the schools.
Flags were put in the schools of
Centralia and ConynghaT.
1 he Bloom directors having exam
ined many courses of study of the best
schools of the country have adopted a
new course for their schools.
Practical business training, short
hand, and Type writing are included
in the course, and such instruction is
contemplated as will fit the graduates
of the High school to enter the Senior
class at the Normal. This Board is
also considering the subject of Manual
Training.
Improvements are being made
throughout the county in the school
houses, apparatus and furniture, but
not sufficient attention is given to the
out-buildings and the grounds.
Fifty-seven of our teachers are Nor
mal graduates; five hold permanent
certificates; twenty-eight hold profes
sionals ; and one hundred and twenty
two hold provisionals.
The standard is being gradually
raised and there is an encouraging ten
dency among teachers to secure higher
grade certificates
As a rule our teachers are earnest,
faithful workers. There are still a few
who do not seem to realize what is re
quired of a teacher, or, realizing it,
lack the energy to do that which may
justly be expected of them
Vet with our present teachers doing
more professional reading ; working
more unitedly with the same definite
end in view; taking more interest in
Teachers' Associations; and with
closer supervision which appears in the
distance, there is no limit to the good
that may be accomplished by our
schools.
Our directors are doing commenda
blc work. They seem to be earnestly
working to have better school-facilities
and better schools.
The Directors' Association is in a
flourishing condition.
Every school in the county was visi
ited once, and a number twice.
It is possible to Aisit schools twice
in districts having a term of eight or
ten months. Once before the other
schools have commenced and once
after the others have closed. But
owing to the large territory to go over
one visit is all that can be made to
schools having the minimum term.
In every district one or more direc
tors and sometimes citizens usually
accompanied me in my visits. In
several districts the directors visit the
schools regularly. It is most desirable
that such be the case in all.
The Normal school under the able
leadership of Prof. Welsh is in a very
prosperous condition. The largest
class in the history of the school was
graduated this year.
Prof. Russel with three assistants is
doing good work at the Greenwood
Seminary. .
The Orangeville Academy in charge
of Prof. Moore is sustaining its reputa
tion among the institutions of learning
of the county,
A good and largely patronized Pri
vate school in Bloomsburg is conduct
ed bv an efficient educator, Miss Amel
ia Armstrong, ably assisted by Miss
Mildred Knorr, a graduate of Vasspr.
The Berwick, Catawissa, and Cen
tralia High Schools sent out a number
of graduates.
By those competent to judge, the
county institute was a great success.
The instructors and lecturers pres
ent were Hon. D. J. Waller, Jr., Supt.
Walton, Misses Armstrong, Knorr,
and Miller, Mrs. Welsh, Profs. Welsh,
Wilbur, Noetling. Becht, Cope, Har
kins, Albert, Geddis, Richardson, Hall,
Rev. Steck, Dr. Hedley, Meig Sisters,
and Mrs. Mary A. Livermore. Dr. Je
rome Allen of New York city, and
Prof. Brumbaugh of Huntingdon were
absent on account of sickness.
Seven successful local institutes
were held during the year. As brief
accqunts of each were given in the
monthly reports nothing further will
be said here.
My thanks are due and heartily ten
dered to the Department for friendly
counsel ; to the press of the county for
valuable service rendered , to directors,
teachers, scholars, and citizens for
their kindness and co-operation.

BERWICK GETS ANOTHER PL DM-
For ten years or more the D. L. Je
W. Company have not built, a four
wheeled coal car. The coal "jim
mies" or "hoppers" were condemned
by the company at that time. There
are, however, 1 1,000 of these unsight
ly cars on the road. Under a recent
act of the Legislature of the State of
New York, on and after September
1st, 1892, all cars entering the State
of New York must have patent coup
lers. This act also forbids the run
ning of four-wheeled coal cars. This
necessitates between now and then
the demolition of 11,000 coal "jim
mies," and the erection of a great
number of eight wheeled cars to take
the place. These cars will be made
largely by the Jackson & Woodin
Manufacturing Co., at Berwick, and
the prospects are that business in that
town in consequence will be very
lively for the next year or two.

THE ALUMNI DINNER.
The large dining hall at the Normal
was filled with the members of the Al
nmni Association, the trustees, the
Faculty, and their friends, last week
Thursday afternoon at the Alumni
dinner. Nearly 300 people participat
ed. John M. Clark presided as toast
master, and after the dinner was over,
a well prepared program was carried
ou', beginning with vocal music by
Messrs, Colley, Yost, Ent and Yetter.
The toasts were as follows: "The
Trustees," responded to by James C.
Brown ; "The Faculty," responded to
by Prof. J. M. Conghlin ; "Woman,"
responded to by Bess T. Wintersteen
of '89 ; "The Teacher," responded to
by Harry O. Hine, of '85; "The Alum
ni -ae" responded to by John M. Gar
son Esq. of 7 1 ; "The Class of "91"
responded to by Kittie Longshore.
Miss Bertha Colvin of '90 sang a pretty
solo, and there was more good singing
by the male quartette. It was one of
the most successful events of the kind
in the history of the school.
REV. SINGER'S REPLY.
Stillwater, July. 6, 1891.
Editors of the Columbian.
Gentlemen : In last week's issue
of your paper, there is an article writ
ten by Rev. Mr. Houtz, in which he
says he has been informed that Mr.
Singer is not in good standing in his
own church. W ho ever told Mr. Houtz
that told a falsehood. I have as good
standing in as good a church as Mr.
Houtz or any other preacher in Penna.
for all of which I refer him to my let
ters of commendation from the Zion
Christian church, Spear P. O. Washing
ton Co. Pa., signed by elders, John
Fry, Lott Winnett and Samuel Fry.
Attested by I. W. Hill, Elias McHenry
Daniel McHenry, E. Beishline and V.
L. McHenry Elders of the Christian
church.
Very Respy. Yours.

The Potato Louse-
A new insect has made its appear
ance in this section of the State, and
for want of a better name it has been
christened the "potato louse." It is a
worse pest than the potato bug, for the
bugs can be shaken off the potato
stalks, but the louse can not. Paris
green will kill the bug but this poison
does not appear to have any effect on
the louse. The farmers have tried
many ways to get rid of the louse but
have not succeeded so far. The louse
is very small, so small as to be hardly
visible to the naked eye, and they
cover the potato leaves so that scarcely
any of the leaf can be seen. They eat
the leaf and in a few days it will be
withered. It does not take long for
the insects to destroy acres of potatoes.
Any one discovering a remedy to kill
this pest will be a blessing to man
kind. Ex.
Hunger is the Best Sauce !
As a rule, a person who has a good
appetite has good health. But how
many there are who enjoy nothing
they eat, and sit down to meals only
as an unpleasant duty. Nature's anti
dotes for this condition are so happily
combined in Hood's Sarsaparilla that
it soon restores good digestion, creates
an appetite, and renovates and vital
izes the blood so that the beneficial
effect of good food is imparted to the
whole body. Truly hunger is the best
sauce, and Hood's Sarsaparilla induces
hunger.

The Germ Destroyer-
In the field of discovery and inven
tion, medicine has not kept pace with
surgery. That, perhaps, is natural ;
service surgery is the mechanical
branch of medicine. The general ac
ceptance of the germ theory of disease
however, opens a new field for medi
cine, and will take it completely away
from the mediaeval supersititions that
still cling to its skirts. And yet medi
cine is not without its discoveries. It
has long been known, and the fact is
now recognized wherever the test has
been made, that Swift's Specific (S. S.
S.) will destroy the germs of malarial
disease, the microbes of skin disease,
and the bacilli of contagious and other
forms of blood poisoning, ejects them
from the blood, and purifies and bui'ds
up the system. No medical discovery
of our day has achieved such remark
able success.
