Townsend, to ob tain possession of the store room occupied by B. A. Gidding in the building on the corner of Main and Centre streets. In December last the building was purchased ct sheriffs sale by the Freeland Bank, and in January the bank sold it to John R. Townsend. B. A. Gid ding was the tenant of the store room at the time of the sheriffs sale, having leased irom J. K. Lockard for a term of years running o 1905. On January 31 Gidding vas notified to deliver up possession I the room on May 1st, but this je refused to do on the ground that .he bank accepted rent from him on .he same conditions as his Lockard lonco nnd that thereby his lease was recognized and ratified, and would bold until 1905. iniswas disput ed by the bank people who claimed that they had told Mr. Gidding tVint he could stav onlv from month to month, as they desired to sell the property and a long lease might n sale. As Mr. Giddine reCiKipA to move out. proceedings were instituted before the justice of the peace to put mm out. Aiier hearing the plaintiff's side of the diddinp-'s counsel. Messrs Scarlet and Funk, moved to dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction. .

The merits of the case have not been passed upon. It is lilrplv that an anneal will be taken and the matter will get into the higher courts betore 11 is nnauy settled. Col. J. G. Freeze and J. G. Harman are counsel for Mr. Town- send. EARLY ULOSING.

Some years ago the Normal School Orchestra was organized, partly because such an organization properly belonged to a music dc- t patttnent that had assumed the im- porlance and proportions of that branch of the Normal course, and partly because it was needed for the many occasions of public exhibi tions and entertainments at the school. There was no orchestra in ' the town that could fill the bill, ' because the quality of their music and the quantity of their price 1 rendered prohibitory the engage- ment of local musicians. Miss Stump, now Mrs. W. B. Sutliff, , . r r 1 unuenooK ine lormauon 01 anorcues tra at the school, and since that I time they have been able to supply ' good music for all their functions. The orchestra as at present consti tuted, is the best they have ever had. During the past week they I have been playing daily, and the character of the music, and the skill ! and precision with which it is exe cuted, would be creditable to a per manent orchestra of professional musicians. There are a dozen or more members, most of them stu- : dents, bor commencement week a few instruments from outside have been added, including Lam bert McHenry, cornet, DeFotest J. Hummer, 'cello, Mr. Foulke, clari onette and a double bass viol from Danville. The wotk that is necessary to accomplish what has been done bv ! Mrs. Sutliff canuot be appreciated 1 by the general public. It takes ' I much time, patience, aud practice to make a good orchestra of per- I manent members. In this instance where the membershisp changes j several times a year, it is all the more dimcult. Any scnool can have what they call an amateur orchestra. There are very few schools that have a musical organ- i i.ation that comes so nearly up to i the standard of professionals as docs the Normal orchestra of 1903. Manuscript covers for typewriter and legal papers, in five colors, with name printed on, are for sale at the Columbian office. 41. . , Will Ea Greatly Missed. Prof. Wm. Calhoun and family moved to Bloomsburg this week. Mr. Calhoun and his pleasant fami ly have been residents of Northum berland for mauv years and have hosts of friends here who regret their departure. We trust their resi dence in Bloomsburg will be pleas ant and full of success, as they deserve all the prosperity that am bition and euergy can bestow upon anyone. They were particularly appreciated here for their musical talents and will be missed by the band, of which Mr. Calhoun was leader, also by the Presbyterian choir, which very materially de pended on three of the family fcr assistance, Mr. Calhoun also direct ing the choir. Miss Anna was the primary teacher in the Sunday school and an energetic member of the Christian Endeavor society. Northumberland Public Press. Reduced Rates to Atlanta. Ga.

Porfessor Ternow, of the Cornell School of Forest y says that, lumber ing, if it is carried on for thirty years as it is being done to-day, there wont be any left. To preveut the supply from being totally ex hausted, he recommends reseeding the cleared districts. The pro fessor's head is level, reseeding would be a good thing, but before growing new forests he should in vent some way of protecting the old ones from the incendiary. As one of our exchanges says, more forests have been destroyed by fire this spring than would have bceu demanded by lumbermen in the next ten years. CASTOR I A Tor Infants and Children.
