In many alleys and back yards the accumulation of the winter's ashes and rubbish cau be seen, which is not only an eyesore to the public, but unless removed before warm weather arrives will be a menace to health. Residents should inau gurate a cleaning-up-iuovement as soon as the frost is out of the ground, for the general good and health of the town. Warren Welsh, son of John M. Welsh, of Orange township, was attacked by a bull on Monday. He was twice knocked down, and but for the timely arrival of Jerry Ert wiue, would have beeu gored to death.

As noted in these columns a few weeks ago, she was the victim of consumption. As soon as the disease had fastened it self upon her and it was apparent that her life was fast ebbing away, the officials at the penitentiary cou. nn'iiicated with the authorities here apprising them of her condition, and suggesting that application be made to the Board ot Pardons for her release that she might be p t niitted to die at home. The sug gestion was acted upon and an ap plication made to the Board of Par dons, but, it was refused. She had yet six weeks to serve Left r; her term of a year and a half would have expired. Whether or not she made any confession is not known. It is generally believed that she knew all concerning the murder of her husband. If she took the sceret with h'T to the grave sl e probably did so thinking that her accomplice would some day confess the truth. Mrs. McHenry was about thirty fix years of age. The surviving children six in number are: Harold living with his uncle Ivmanuel, at Mt. Pleasant; Georgiana, Mving with her aunt Mrs. ICva Lawrence, at Williamsport: Mary, living with Daniel Whitenight at Forks, and Chester, Gertrude and Laura, living at Forks. The remains were removed from the Penitentiary to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. II. Gil bert at Forks, from which place the funeral occured on Monday. Inter ment was made alongside her mur dered husband in the ceuietary at Rohrsburg. Resolutions of Esteem- The following resolutions were passed by the council of the Lutheran Church. They give evidence of the esteem and respect in which Rev. McLinn, their retiring pastor is held. Whereas the pastor of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, of Blooinsburg, Rev. M. McLinn, has severed his pastoral relations with this church giving as his reason for so doing the increased membership of the church making the pastoral' oversight thereof greater than his physical strength could endure. Therefore be it Resolved: First, that it is with un feigned sorrow and regret that we re luctantly accept his resignation. Second, That we bear affectionate testimony to his untiring zeal in all ministerial duties incumbent upon him while our pastor. Third, That we have found in him all that goes to make a truly Christian character and believe that he can en- joy the consciousness of having done the Master s will and the luxury of having helped the needy, and while not the greatest of men yet is great in mind and soul with a sweetly controlled disposition (no mote hunter). Fourth, Notwithstanding the oft special drains on the congregation during the almost seven years of his pastorate here he has never gone to the meeting of the Synod without the full amount of apportionment to the benevolent objects of the church, showing that the spirit of liberality has been culti vated. Fifth, However reluctantly we may yield to the inevitable, our bes wishes and prayers are heieby tendered to him and his as they go to their new field of labor. Eugene Woolsey. W. F.
