TWO PRIMARIES, County Giicinls Nomivated in June snd Borough aud rowanship in October, Until the attorney general passed an opinion on the time and method of nominating borough aud township officers, the county commissioners and people in general were very much at ses, Itis now clearly. stated by the attorney general that the nominations for borough and township offices will be made a8 heretofore, but the time for holding the caucases or primary elections will be chauged from Janu ary to October, twenty-one days before the general election in November, This will separate the nominations for borough sand township offices from the nominations for county offices, for the former will not be held until Oc. tober and the latter will come, as heretofore, in June. In speaking of the primaries Chambersburg Repository gives following information, based on decision of the attorney general : A great many people are under the impression that caodidates for Bor- ough and Towopship offices will be nom- inated at the Jupe primary. Thisis a mistake, so the Franklin county eom- missioners state. In a conversation with one of them on Monday morn- ing be said to a Repository man : the the the primaries from being beld this year, one in June for the nomioation of of chloral hydrate or any quantity of belladonns, colton rool, ergot or | “ other abortificant,” must announce | the fact in b'g red letters, Itis pro-| vided that the word * poison’ must | stand out in letters cf red.

It provides for the pensioning of all Union sol diers regardless of disability, The general scale fixed follows: Bixty- two years, $15 a month ; sixty-five years, $20 a mouth ; sevenly years, $25 a month, and seventy-five years, $360 a month, It was declared by the advocates of the bill that 100 veterans are dying every twenty-four hours, ————————— School For Teachers, = The bulletin of the second summer session for teachers, at Pennsylvania Btate College, gives some idea of the interest in and appreciation of this work. The fact that the number of courses offered has ‘been raleed to eighty-one is sufficient evidence of this interest In the summer session. An attendance of over 300 is expected and because of the enlargement In the curriculum, the corps of lpstructors will be strengthened by the addition of Prof. C. D. Koch, of Harrisburg, state high school inspector ; Prof, O H. Jetter, director of music at Blooms burg normal ; Miss Katharine Moran, of the state normal, Courtlandt, N. Y., and Miss Amy I.

Danis] Gress, at the time the Raporter went to press Inst week, it was not known just when the minister could leave Centre Hall for his new pastorate near Pitts. burg, but he did leave on Wednesday, The closing service of the pastorate was largely attended by both members of the Reformed church and those of slater decominations, His leaving Centre Hall was reretted by all alike. As stated in his closing sermon, Rev. Gress aimed to preach the gospel dur- ing his pastorate here, and lead his people to do better things. Personally, Rev. Gress had many friends over his charge, who greatly regretted his leaving. In the sore affliction of his family he had the deepest sympathy of all, apd the earnest prayers of the curistian people. He left Centre Hall with the good wishes of every one, and the hope that his new charge would prove an agree- able fleld and that his work there like here would be profitable to the church and the community, wi A a ———— A rN.
