The association huve purchased the pine grove back of the old school house from J. V. Houk, aud ioteud, as .. soon os money enough is subscribed, to ; commence improvements. A Reporter of tho Williamsport 'legistcr visited Cook and Cosgrove, two flhe Welsboro bank robbers, in jail, and writes of them as follows: Cook looks to be 25 or SO years old. He is a finely built man, has mild blue eyes, light hair and a light moustache. lie wears his hat on in his cell, and smokes -ilmnst. nnnRtitnttv.

Cosgrove, who is about 49 years old, has a cell on the west side at the main entrance. His cell is large but dark and gloomy. The morning was cool, and the sheriff had a wood fire built in a mall stove in tho cell at which the prisioner beguiled himself. Tho light t from the entry and tbe lire gave one a good view ot mm as ne steppea to me door of his cell; Cosgrove an "old bird." He has a protruding under jaw, and is restless and wary. He was asked whether he was from York State, nod he replied that he was. From wbat part? and be deolined, saying that he did not wish to be uncivil; but he could not answer that. This is sup posed to be the ring-leader. He has ' employed tho great scoundrel's advo cate John Graham of New York to k defend him. This L taken as a signi ficant fact by those who are "up to snuff.1' The bank parties have Messrs Elliott c"; Bosard the leading firm of Wellsbo'O lawyers and the Hon . Henry Sherwood. The trial of the burglars will come off at the November court, Judge Wilson presiding, Judge iVilliams beins: one of the directors of J l i . 1 . A comes.

A Valuable Picturj. We have been presented, at the hands of Rev. I. Breoneman, with an excel lent picture copyrighted by S. A. Rote, of this plaee, and of which the follow ing, copied from The Lutheran, ii a faithful description: Here are nineteen capital likenesses of the General Council of tho Evangeli cal Lutheran Church in America, grouped around a larger centra! figure, Martin Luther. Tbe outer circle con tains fourteen, and the inner fife pic tures. The four at the top are the Presidents, past and present, of the General Council. Tho first is a cor rect likeness of our lamented brother Rnsslor, first President ot the body, The second represents the present President of the New York Ministerium whom tho printed list nnd number on the cards calls the second President. Now as I happened to he present when that brother was elected, although I did not vote for him, I am perfectly sure (he was not tho tecond but tho third President. Rev. Dr. C. W. Schaeffcr was the immediate successor of Rro. Bassler, at tho Pti eburgh con vention, and the brother who is called second was really third, and was called to the chair in Chicago. I think his friends will prooounce it a good like ness. Dr. C. W. Scbaeffer looks "as natural as life," and Dr. Krauth, as it in the act of observing some brother trying to state a point of order, or to point out a nice theological distinction Dr. Grcenwald comes next, iijthe. outer circle, and looks like himself. He is the first, in the circle, that appears in gown and bands. The well-known, in tellectual, amiable aud soulful counten ance of Prof, A. Spaeth, formerly Ger man Secretary of the L. C coms next, and under it you find an excellent pic ture of that earnest worker; Pastor Khngman, President of the Michigan Synod. Bro- Wenzel, Cist German Cor respondent Secretary, comes next, and this too will give you an excellent idea of a brother who is to well known on both sides of tho mountains. Bro. Mechling stands next, at the bottom of the sheet, and makes a fine picture, lie looks as if be was determined to fight it through on that line, il it takes all the rest of tho days of his minis try. President It. Jacggli, ol the Texas Synod, stands by his side, and most of the brethern now first make his acquaintance. Hi looks like an ear nest worker, and his head seems to have an ample endowment of brain. The next, on the left side of tbe circle, is President J. II. Hunton, of the In. diana Synod, who also presents himself in gown and bunds. Above biui stands President I. Swenson, of the Augustana Synod, with the clerical bands. Then wo rise to Bro. Fishburn, Prssident of Canada Synod, who makes & very good picture, aud then to Bro. Roth, Presi dent ol the Pittsburg Synod, the life of whoee eyes is not brought out in this picture; and so we have completed the outer circle. We turn to the inner circle, or rather part of a circle, consisting of five, who have the privilege of standing or hanging around Luther. Let us begin on the right, which how ever is to the left of Luther, and look ut Bro. Laird, the efficient English Recording Secretary of tlis 8- C. The likeness is very satisfactory. Below him we have Dr. B. M. Schiuucker, English Corresponding Secretary, who looks as wo have saeu him, hundreds of times, when standing io Synod, with imfiertuiballo composure and watchlul ness, pausing for a reply, or waiting, until the gentleman on the other side is through, to overwhelm in the most polite, complete and parliamentary way. We next come to S Gross Fry, the Treasurer of the S. C. He is the only layman in the party, but seems perfectly at home. The easy and pleasant ex pression on his countenance epcaks en couragingly ol the financial condition of the body whose treasury he manages so well. Rising, to the left, we have Bro. E. Carlson, Swedi.vh Corresponding Sec retary who also wears the bauds. We have often seen a more cheerful expres sion on his face, but must say that tbe picture looks like him- The next is a very good pioture of the Rev. G. W. Drees, the present Geruiau Recording Secretary, whose expression is some, what sterner than usual- Dr. Martin Luther, in the centre, has an open book in bis left hand, wtile his right rests upon his bosom. His eyes look calmly and trustingly to heaven, and be seems to say. "Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, God help mo. Now you know all ubout it, and ii you want the picture, and to help a weak Lutheran congregation, send on the stamps to Bro. Brcnnuman, and he will send you tho 19 Lutherans, with the old original Lutheran thrown into the bargain. A few dollars mor e, and you can put them all in a good frame of wood, and you are prepared to treat them according to their deserts; by hanging them, in some good place in your houso. COAL STRIKE. New York, October G. A special dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says disturbance have occurred at the Hoosao mines, fifteen miles from the city caused by the refusal of the Hillside Coal Com pany to discharge tbe "Boss" of the colliery, who is a Welshman. Abont eighty men struck work, and threaten violence to any parties who take their places. One man was almost fatally beaten by the strikers yesterday. Further troubles are feared to-day. It is reported that a Boston merchant who has been in business forty-seven years never spent a cent in advertising. He began on a capital of eight hundred dollars, and by frugality has increased it to eight hundred and five. He thinks advertising isn't what it's cracked op to be. Riagwa Grade!
