AMONG MASONIC VISITORS. Among the Masons who are here attending the sessions of Caldwell Consistory are Rev. J. R. Diintn of Seliusgrovc, and Rev. John Hewitt of Ucllefonte. Dr. Dinim was pastor of the Lutheran church liere from 1859. to 1S67. In i36f, when Trof. Henry Carver came here and the Blooms burpr Literary Institute was organ ized, he was engaged as teacher of Latin and Greek. The school was opened in the old Academy, on the corner of Third and Jefferson streets, where Dr. Montgomery's residence now stands. Dr. Dimm's ability as a te iclicr is well remem bered bv a number of Rlnomsburg people who arc now long past mid dle asre. lie is now living at Se- linsetove. and is pastor ;f a church at Sliamokin Dam Since leaving H'oomsbrrg he has held many important positions, one of them being the Presidency ot Susquehanna University at Se linsgrove. tie has preached far more than fifty years, and during forty years was a teacher of college students. Rev. John Hewitt is also a for mer resident of l'.'.oomsburg, having been rector of St. Paul's 1 h. rhtirch from 1S70 to 1S77. In December 1871 l'rof. Carver re sinned as Principal of the Normal School, and Chas G. ISarkley, Esq then County Superintendent, was temporarily elected by the trustees, accepting it on condition mat ne would serve only until a permanent Principal could be found, his oth cial duties preventing him from giv ing the school but little of his time Mr. Hewitt, had had some expe rience in teaching, and the trcstees prevailed upon him to ac ept the principalship, and he entered upon his duties in the fall of 1872, and very acceptably filled the position for two years. Since leaving Bloomsburg he has had charge of parishes in Umana Neb., Columbus, Ohio, and other places, and for several years past has been the rector for the second time of St. John's Church. Belle fonte. MAIN STREET PAVING. The announcement that in a few days arrangements would be com pleted by the Town Council with every property owner on Main street from Iron to Kast for paving with brick, is a mistake on the part of somebody. The authorities of the rpisconal church are not aware of any such arrrangetr.ent. At the regular meeting of the vestry in September a committee was annotated to consult with the council and report to the vestry A special meeting will be hel probably next week some time. I n til then no one has any authority to state what will be done. If the paving is done, it will cost the church over a thousand dollars, as its frontasre is nearly four times as much as any other property owner in that square. Before rushing into it hastily the church officers want to know where the funds are to come from. HE WILL BE THERE. AS lisiiA 1 T.

Judge Ivvans made an order in court on Monday to the effect that hereafter when a person living at Centralia or Conyngham township is summoned as a juror and desires to be excused from serving he must make his request before he comes to the county seat. This order was made when A. K. I'etterman, of Centralia, who had been summoned as a juror desired to be excused. The Court said that it cost the county about $12 to get a juror from that place, and it was not fair to the county for them to come, merely for the purpose of asking to be excused. Hereafter they must make their application before they come to Court.

Free Scholarships Available. Philadelphia, the city of Brother ly Love, has an exhibition of prac tical benevolence in the work of the Philadelphia School for Nurses which is of surpassing interest to every one interested in the care ot the sick, the education of nurses aud the promotion of public health and sanitation. The annual report showed that during the past year, ten thousand, two hundred and seventy-five pa tients were supplied with nurses, who otherwise could not have secured skilled nursing care. Four- fifths of this service was rendered gratuitously. It was shown also that in teaching facilities, available workers and number of students, the School ranks as the largest school for nurses in the world. Clara Barton, the world re nowned nurse and manager of field hospital work, and organizer of the Red Cross Society, having for many years observed the efficient work of the Philadelphia School for Nurses, recently invited Dr. Iuigene lnder- hill, founder of the institution, to visit her, and be present at a con ference in her summer Home in Oxford, Mass.. for the purpose of considering the advisability of re producing the work in the larger New F.ngland cities. At a public reception, representa tives from Lowell, Salem, Worce.s ter, Springfield, Bridgeport, New Haven, Providence ami other man ufacturing chillers, called attention to the need of this service for their respective cities. Several large classes of students are about to be enrolled in the Philadelphia Sc'aool for Nurses, who wi.l, doubtless, witness the extension of the work nf the insti tution in accord '.nee with plans now developing as a result of the recent New Iv.ig'ai.d conferences. A large number of free Two Year scholarships are available to young women living throughout the en tire country, preference b.'ing given to those from the smaller towns and cities, and the rural districts. These scholarships include room, board, laundering; uniforms, all necessary instruction, aud railroad fare paid to the student's home town upon the completion of the Course. A preparatory Home Study Course and a Short Resident Course are also available to those wdio desire to quickly prepare themselves for self-support, but are unable to de vote two years to study. Any reader of this paper who may be interested in the general subject can, by addressing the school at 2219 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa., get full details of the work, and the scholarships now available.
