THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA. Co- Superintendent's Report of Schools In Columbia County. The county institute was a success. The instructors were Drs. J. B. De Mottc, L. B. Spcrry and J. P. Welsh, l'rofs. L. A. E. Crouter, C. M. Tarker, Wta. Noetling, - II. Albert, and Henry R. Russell, Miss Ella Richard son, and Mrs. Ella Greene. Evening entertainments were lectures by Dr. DeMotte, Levin Irvin Handy, Col. Kain, and the Ollie Torbett Concert Co. gave a concert. Local institutes as usual were held during the year, and brief accounts of them were given at the time. The directors, as a rule, are doing commendable work. Seven substantial school houses with modern improve ments were erected. One each in Benton, Briarcreek, Fishingcreek, Greenwood, Hemlock, Locust, and Tine. Berwick built a substantial ad dition to the Market street building at a cost of $10,000. Many houses were repaired and better furniture and more apparatus were put into several. Some districts were unable to comply fully with the law regarding out buildings, yet this receives closer attention and all desire to comply with the law. Berwick, Bloom, Catawissa borough, Centralia, and Conyngham each had a nine month term of school ; Mifflin, Montour, Millville, and Scott each had an eight month term j Fishing v creek, Benton, Briarcreek, Catawissa township, and Orange each had a seven month term j the other fourteen districts had the minimum term of six months. Every district did something to advance the schools, and a stronger and better educational sentiment everywhere prevail? An examination ot the secretaries' annual reports shows that the amount of money expended in Columbia county last year for free text books was $12,238,97, for teachers' wages $60,074.10, for all school expenses $117,821.24. The estimated value of school property in the county is $264,200.00. From these annual re ports we find that the daily attendance of pupils in 20 districts was greater than during the previous year, in five districts the daily attendance was less. The state appropriation for 1 2 districts was greater than the preceding year, and for 12 districts it was less, due to the triennial change of base for dis tribution. In 10 districts the average salary of male teachers was increased ; in 5 districts it was decreased, and in , the remaining districts it was the same as last year. The average salary paid lady teachers was increased in 1 1 dis tricts, and was decreased in but 1 district, being the same as last year in the remaining districts. In 19 districts the cost per month of educating each pupil was increased, in 6 districts it was decreased. The highest amount paid per month for each pupil was $3 85 the amount paid in Berwick; the lowest per month was 56 cts. The tax rate for school purposes in 5 districts was greater than the preced ing year, in 10 districts it was less, and in the remaining districts it was the same as the year before. The highest rate levied was r3 mills in but one district i the lowest rate was 1 mill and this in but one district. I have always urged directors to abolish having principals and assistants in lower grades in graded schools. Berwick, Bloom and Centralia recent ly did so and better work is accom plished. The majority of our teachers are faithful, conscientious and pro gressive. A few, still hoping to con tinue teaching by the eternal efficiency of higher grade certificates, are neither progressive, qualified, nor disposed to qualify themselves. Directors, how ever, as a rule, more carefully select teachers and ability and skill more Kenerally prevail. Herealter teachers with provisional certificates will be marked in the practice of teaching as in the subjects. This was the year to renew professional certificates. It was necessary to refuse to endorse several. One teacher refused to be examined and had to resign his position. Proper and legal objections were made to his application for state certificate. These objections stand against him and for the good of the schools and for the information of school officers and teachers I have asked the Department ot Public Instruction for a decision in the case. Directors will please see that all teachers employed have proper and legal certificates. Free text books give general satisfaction, and it is a fitting thing to introduce a graded course of study into the ungraded schools of the county and we hope to have such a course ready by the beginning of the coming term. It should be said here that in some of the teachers' old report books may be seen pasted on the in side of the cover, a plan of work, or course of study, with instructions to the teacher arranged by ex-Supt. Wm. H. Snyder. A carelul reading of it will convince anyone that it was thought fully arranged and must have done much to systematize and better the nchool work of the county. The former Board of County Commissioners claimed that money was too scarce to fit up an office for the County Super intendent. The present Commissioners may very properly claim the same thing and it may be some time before arrangements are made for this office. However, the Commissioneis have assured me that it will be done as soon a convenient and possible. The in struction in physiology, language, read ing, arithmetic and drawing is improv ing. The High Schools of Berwick, Bloom, Catawissa and Centralia sent out a number of graduates. The Nor mal continues to make improvements, to have a large attendance, and to graduate large classes. It might be of some interest to the public to know that the papers that are handed in by applicants at examinations are always preserved for future reference. Any applicant can look over his papers at any time. When there have been doubts in the applicant's mind about the kind of work done at examinations, they have been clearly and successfully removed by an inspection of the papers. The method gives entire satis faction. I desire to thank the directors for my unanimous re-election at an in creased salary, the Department for courtesies and counsel, those papers of the county that aided the school work, and I desire especially to thank those directors whose fairmindedness and loyalty to their trusts and the teachers whose fidelity to their posi tions and hearty sympathy and co operation made the year's work easier and successful. And to all the people of the county at whose hands I received during the year the kindest treatment and the most generous hospitality my sincere thanks are gratefully tendered. William C. Johnson, County Supt. LippincoU's Magazine For Sept., 1894. The complete novel in the Septem ber number of Lippincott's is " Cap tain Molly' by Mary A. Denison, and it deals with the philanthropic work of the Salvation Army. The heroine, a banker's daughter, leaves a luxurious home to dwell for a time in Paradise Flats, and tries, nor, without success, to alleviate the miseries of her neigh bors there ; the hero follows her in disguise, and the tale comes to an orthodox end. The three short stories are of un usual merit. "Josef Helmuth's Goetz," by Frererick R. Burton, is a weird tale of a too imaginative musician and of a violin which imprisoned a human soul. Will N. Harben does his very best work in The Sale of Uncle Rastus," a slave whose devotion to his master assumed a unique form. "On Second Thoughts," byLalage D. Morgan, is a love stoiy with an un common ending, for the young lady's heart was finally controlled by her head. Laura A. Smith writes of " Songs of the Battle Field," and gives speci mens of them, music as well as words, from many lands. " How I Found the Baron," by Edward Wakefield, describes 1 queer piece of semi-political history, including a dangerous ex pedition through the wilds of New Guinea. In " Head-Lines," W. T. Learned collects and comments on some of the worst liberties of the American press. " The Evolution of the Heroine" is a pleasant literary essay by Professor H. H. Boyesen. The " Human Horses," treated of by Walter Rogers Furness arc the jinrickisha-bearers of Japan. F. K. Henry writes of " In consistent Franchises" in the ming ling of trusts with insurance. Jn " Talks with the Trade," the editor discusses " Writers and Typewriters." The poetry of the number includes a sonnet by Titus Munson Coan, and quatrains by Frank Dempster Sherman and Charles G. D. Roberts. All the talk in the world will not convince you so quickly as one trial of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve for Scalds. Burns, Bruises, Skin Affections and Piles. W. S. Rishton, Druggist, tf. Kars Wants lis, Perhaps. According to an exchange the plan et Mars, which is distant from the sun 141,000,000 miles, and only 46,000, 000 miles from the earth, has certain ly stirred up a war of debate among the astronomers of the earth. De spite the explanation by Percival Lowell, of the Flagstaff Observatory, of the newly discovered shining specks as the reflection of Martian snow caps, Professor Wiggins, the ex prophet, persists in his belief that our neighbors upon that planet are signaling to us. " There is the best scientific evidence," he declares, " to prove that man is a native of Mars and lived there millions of years before he was transplanted to the earth, leaving the greater part of the human family behind. The Mar tians regard us as their lost brethren, and have been searching for us for thousands of years. They have been especially hopeful since they saw the electric .lights in our dues. We will be able to converse with them by sig nals before another century passes." Professor Wiggins' prophecy may be stuck in the hat-band ; but his words evoke the conjecture that, since the earth presents the phases of the moon to Mars, the lights of New York and Brooklyn, especially the great Sandy Hook searchlight, might possibly by seen as a light spot from Mars with the aid of a great telescope.

BECAME HER BROTHER'S BRIDE, A remarkable tale of how a man married his sister to save her from the disgrace brought upon her by another man was told in court recently by Robert H. Archbald, a convict, who is serving a year's sentence for bigamy. He was called as a witness in the suit of his second wife, Mrs. Joseph D. Archbald for an annulment of his marriage. Archbald had pleaded guilty to bigamy before Recorder Smyth, Oc tober 11. At that time it appeared that he had been married to Miss Mary" Prior, November 75, 1878, and had married Miss Joseph D. Meade on April 2, 1893, without the formality of having secured a divorce from his first wife When Archbald was called to the stand he said : " I was never married to my first wife, Judge," " Why did you plead guilty, then ?" asked the Judge. " I did it at the advice of my law yers to save Miss Meade's name being bandied about in the newspapers." He admitted that he had gone to the church and that a ceremony had been performed there by a clergyman-, Michael J. Prior, a brother of Miss Prior and Mary Powers, were also present.- Although his name appeared in the marriage certificate, Miss Prior and her brother were married under his name in cider to protect Miss Prior, who was in a delicate condition through Archbald. In order to deceive her family he and she lived together for some time after their marriage. Archbald said that Miss Prior sug gested the substitution of her brother. She afterward left him, and he married Miss Meade, thinking the other mar riage invalid: The Judge granted the divorce on the ground that Archbald and Miss Prior were, by living together, married by common law.
