VA 1. LXXIX. CENTRE HALL. PA. > THURSDAY, ’ THE NEW STYLE NEXT. The political conventions in Centre county, and throughout the state, have had their day. The political con- vention, such as is known to the active politician, has been supplanted by a method governed by state laws, that shears the politician of all parties of his manipulations. Hereafter the voter who attends the primaries will have positive assurance that his vote will count for the man candidate he prefers. Under the new system it will be the aggregate of the votes cast that will decide who will be the candidate. There will be] no delegates to snap; location will count for naught ; * pon-instructions’ one THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

The address on the oecasion by Col- onel D. F.

Death sad ravages io their ranks, ’ Continuing the speaker expressed the beautiful thought that these old | veterans, now [ st clusing their ranks, by sacrificing their blood had given to this generation a free govern- ment, and what would they do with it? The address throughout was one full of the most noble sentiments, and elicited for the speaker the most kind- ly expressions from veterans and citizens. The opening prayer was made by Dr. James vw. Boal and the bene- diction was provounced by Dr. W. H, Behuyler, ———s > Lincoln Party Ticket makes ? own The Lincoln Party of Pennsylvania nominated Thursday of last week Lewis Emery, Jr., for Governor; Rudolph Blankenburg, Lieutenant Governor ; Major George W. Merrick, Auditor General, and Elisha A. Coray, Becretary of Internal Aflaire, This was done by the Btate convention in Musical Fund Hall. The ticket was received with great enthusissm by a representative gathering of the Re- publican intellect and manhood of the Htate, The change from the proposed nome inating of ex-SBenstor Bayard Henry for Lieutenant Governor snd Robert K. Young for Auditor General was, however, a surprise, and was due, so far as Mr. Henry was concerned, to adoption, by the Slate Committee, prior to the convention, of a resolution offered by Franklin 8, Edmonds, ““ that a full ticket be nominated, and in case a revision of the same be found necessary, it may be made by a recon: vening of the full convention, This leaves an opportunity for the Lincoln partly to fuse.

The present board of commissioners charged the retired Northumberland board with graft in connection with letting the contract for a joint bridge, which letting was made a few days before the officials retired. The charge could not be substantiated, yet it is ap- parent that the bridge specifications call for a structure that will accommo- date a trolley track, and that certain politicians will profit by such a move on account of being interested in a trolley company that will likely use the bridge built by taxpayers, ————————— Commendable. Superintendent D., O. Etters has adopted a system of examination for school teachers holding professional certificates. They are questioned with a view of determining whether or not they have been making an effort to post themselves by study of the authors and advanced text books. I'his move is entirely commendable, There is another class of school teachers who need yearly examination and weeding out, and until this is done by aa act of the legislature, the public schools will suffer, Reference is here made to the teacher who holds a permanent certificate, no matter how acquired. There are exceplious, of course, but the rule is that these teachers become antiquated ; indeed, they become so antiquated and rusfy that they become entirely unfit for school work. They are unwilling to equip themselves for present-day school work ; they live in the past and condemn anything that i# progressive. The writer has evidence, in the form of applications for schools, before him that will illustrate the point. Most of them are from State Normal School graduates, and to say the least it would be criminal to oblige children of per. ceptive minds to sit for a school term and expect to be taught by such illit- erate characters. The man or woman who is incapable of writing a decent application for a position is unfit to teach children the alphabet, A sad accident occurred at Allen- ville, Mifflin county, in which Miss Lizzie, daughter of Joseph A. Kanagy, was badly wounded, Whiile in the act of serubbing their porch, Lizzie discovered a large house snake and called to her father, who was at work in the yard, to come and kill the rep- tile, Her father securing a Winchester rifle started in pursuit of the snake when in some unknown way in hand ling the weapon the contents dis- char.ed and the bullet entered his daughter's left breast near the bone, coming out a few inches from the shoulder and penetrated the left arm, breaking the bone in its course and coming out at the opposite side of her arm, the bullet lodging in the sleeve of her dress, The lady will recover, Sn. ——————— Keith's Theatre, There is a promise of variety at Keith's Chestnut Btreet Theatre, Philadelphia, this weelt.

Coal has been found in paying quantities in the ’'Scootac region, Clinton county. A company has just opened a four and one-half foot vein of excellent quality, Several carloads were shipped to Williamsport, and, after testing, it was pronounced fine, Coal has been discovered at various times in this region before, but never of sufficient quantity to make mining a paying venture. A number of years ago several extensive operations were abandoned for this reason. W LE 1806.
