The adjournment was reached on Saturday evening, to meet next year on the evening of the last Monday of May, 1S02, at Lavansville, Pa. A few days ago Abram Sevits, of Brothers- valley township, found a match box partly filled with matches close by the rums of ms barn, which was burned one night lat tali.

R- bave under contemplation the erection of a supplement to the Soldiers Monument in the court bouse square. They propose to erect a statue of "Memory" on a pedistal on which the names of those soldiers who died in the service and were omitted from the soldiers monument will be engraved. The names of nearly one hundred such have already been collected. Their names were not reported to the committee who had tne erection of tbe monument in charge, and the members of the Pot are anxious that tbe roll of all their comrades who fell in the service shall be preserved.

If the management was proper and economical, as is claimed, then tbe con cern has been looted by those who were sworn to protect its interests, and these facts should be shown by probing the rottenness to the core. That this will be done there is little reason to donbt There is no need for any of the creditors to line a dollar." Considerable amusement was created on Main Crows Street Saturday morning by a lady, with a baby in ber arms, who wa held an unwilling prisoner in tbe doorway of one of our most flourishing business houaes. The merchant v member of the local order Knights of the Golden Eagle, and was ex ceedingly anxious to turn out with his fel low Knights and march in the Memorial Day parade. His store was crowded with ladies when the drams announced that tbe procession was ready to move. Hustling bis customers into tbe street he turned the key in the lock and took his position in the ranks. Two hours afterwards be returned lit bis place of business to find that in bis hurry and excitement he bad closed the door on the frock of one of his lady customers and that she had been nnable to release herself during bis absence. This may bave been a scheme on the part of the merchant to keep hi customer from going to another store to make her purchases, but judging from the ample apology be made, we are Inclined to hink it was unintentional.

Pitts burgh, Pa. A very serious and distressing accident occurred on Main street Saturday afternoon, whereby Mrs. Isabella Case beer, who lives five miles north of town, bad her right arm and several ribs broken, an cgly gajh cut in her forehead, and sustained numerous bruis es. For the past ten or twelve years Mrs. Casebeer has been engagaged in supplying the people of thi- place with vegetables and bemea, and ber one horse wagon was a fa miliar sight on the streets. Saturday she drove a new hone on a trial trip, and in coming around the comer at the Somerset House, made too short a turn. The wagon was upset, and tbe venerable lady driver thrown under tbe wheels. The horse became frightened and ran away, dragging the wagon over the body of the helpless woman, cauaiig the injuries above stated. She was carried to the home of Dr. 3. M. Loather, where she was given every atten tion, and where she still remains in a very critical condition. Our streets were crowded ail day Satur day by people from the country, who had laid aside their farm duties and had come to town for the purpose of participat ing in the Memorial day exertses. The sun rhone brilliantly throughout the morning. Business and private houses were handsome ly decorated with flags and bunting. The procession formed in front of the Court House in the following order : Cornet Rand ; Knights of the Golden Ea gle ; Jr. O. I". A. M. ; Sons of Veterans ; Sunday-school Children ; R. P. Cummins Pot G. A. R. ; Old Soldiers and citizens. At the cemetery the beautiful G. A. R. service for the deirted camrades was recited by members of tbe Post. Rev. Wirg-nan led in prayer, a selected choir rendered several selections and the band played an appropraite dirge. Tbe graves of tbe old soldiers were covered with beautiful fiowert after which the procession re-formed and marched to the Court House yard, where Rev. J. S. Harkey, who baa been se lected by bis comrades as orator of the day, delivered a patriotic and stirring address. Tbe speaker was frequently interrupted by applause, and when he had concluded Rev. Frank Saylor invoked a benediction. Just prior to the adjournment of the Leg islature, Governor Pattison nominated Dr. Z. X. Snyder, for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Tbe Dr. h;.- mtny ad mirers and friends among the public school teacher j of this county who will doubtless be pleased to learn of his appointment Dr. Snyder was reared on his father's farm and attended the common schools until nineteen, when he entered Mt Pleasant Institute, spending two years there. In 1S72 he enter ed Waynesburg Coliere, graduating with class honors in IsTS, and in a few months was made Principal of the Wicomisco gra ded schools of lUuphin county. He held this position for five years, leaving it to ac cept the chair of Higher Mathematics and Natural History at Waynesburg. which he held f.ir several years. In 13S3 he was elect ed Principal of Greensburg ichools, and, af ter four years of hard labor, left thera in a prosperous condition to accept the superin tency of Reading schools. He introduced into these schools methods which have made his name prominent In connection with gra ded school work. In 189 he resigned that position to accept the presidency of the In diana Normal School, taking charge Septem ber 1, 191. Under his administration the school's growth has been phenomenal. Public School Commencement. The annual commencement and graduat ing exercises of the borough public schools were held in the Opera Hour; on Tuesday afternoon and evening ot last eeek. ltie bouse was crowded on both occasions, and standimr room was t a premium. In the afternoon the program was made np of reci tations, songs, drills, and dialogues by chil dren of the minor grade schools and ail who took part acquitted themselves with credit to themselves and honor to their teachers. In tbe evening the stage presented a scene that will not soon be forgotten by those pres ent, and one thst reflects the highest credit cpon the members of the graduating class and their instructor, Mr. Grant Kendall. A hum of approval and delight could be heard all over the house when the curtain went ur. and it was several minutes before the voices of all were hushed, and the Rev. David Elder Craighead asked an invocation Flowers and ferns filled the wings and were banked on the rear of the stage, while the class colors, white and blue, were grace fully intertwined among them. "Onward and reward," the class motto in large white letters on a blue surface, was suspended from a fly overhead, and attracted general attention, os the class of ltl i the first that Las ever hsd a motto. White and blue rib bons draped the chandeliers, the chairs on the stage, and were everywhere conspicuous. Tbe sweet girl graduates, Misssee Lizie SauipseiL Mary Tayman, Lula Walker, and Hallie Ogle, all robed in spotless white, and flanked by the manly forms of John O. Mil lar and Orlo Kncpper, occupied the center. and they certainly presented a scene fair to look upon. Six graceful, modest young la dies and gentlemen nervously awaiting to fill the parts they bad to perform before tbe footlights, and conscious of the battle they had won, surrounded by fragrant flowers and tbe strains of sweet music, caused the entire audience to exclaim, "This is tbe prettiest sight ever witnessed in Somerset And they meant it, too ! It would be unfair for tbe writer to go into details or to offer criticism on any of the performances of tbe graduates, since it must be confessed that never has a brighter, more intel'.igentjor better qualified class graduated from our public schools. Each paper read showed careful and laborons study, and what is more, showed that the young people had been faithfully instructed and had been fully prepared to enter a biger institution of learn in. The diplomas were presented to tbe grad uates by F. J. Kooser, Esq., President of the School Board, at tbe conclusion of which he addressed a few remarks to the audience. Be struck a responsive chord when be sug gested to the parents present that the high school "course should be extended another year. Rev. J. S. Harkey, pronounced the bene diction and the public school days of the class of 91 were ended. A delightful feature of the graduating ex ercises was the music famished by the Mo zart Orchestra, of Johnstown. That Mr. Kendall's service have been ap preciated as principle of the borough schools is perhaps, more fully attested since it has been learned that be has resigned the prin- cipalship and proposes entering the law de partment of Harvard I mversity. The char acter and grade of our schools bave been elevated each succeeding term the past half- do n years, bnt it is only justice to Mr. Kendall to say that in no year has the ad vancement been as marked as in the one ins! closed. The Board of Directors and hi fellow teachers all recognize thi fact and at the close of tbe term both bodies voluntarily gave him flattering certificate of their ap- precaticn of bis service to the schools and of their admiration for him as a man. Mr. Kendall, was alike popular with parent and -.boo! children and hi determination to leave Somerset has caused genuine regret . Registry Assetaora. The County Commissioners received a ooniniuniTition from the Secretary of tbe Commonwealth on Monday, informing them that the Governor has approved the act changing the manner of making the registry assessment As the act applies to the assess ment of this year, Clerk Wemer is given eons derable extra work. The blanks and instruction under the old law have been prepared, and a Dumber of tiiem bave been sent out Those wilt be readied at once, and the new blanks will not be sent out until some time after the arrival of the new forms from Harrisburg. L'nder the new law the Register Assessor's kit will not be as easy as heretofore, and more satisfaction will be afforded both voters and election otlicers. Tbe letter from Secretary Harrity is as follows : HaamsBt so. May 29, 1501. County Canimtffitmera of Some, tet Cbunly : Go-tlmxx : The bill to change the lime and manner of making the registry of voters and the duties of recistry aswasor, has been approved bv the Governor. The registration of voters for this yew should be made un der it, instead of under the ai t of June 20, 174. Vhe new act requires the Asseesor to visit fn person each and every dwelling house in his election district or division on tbe first Monday of May and the first Mon day of December of each vear, or as soon thereafter as practicable. It is intended to prohibit the Assessor from taking cp the transcript or list of voters of the previous as sessment The names are to be entered on tbe list in the order in which the dwelling houaes are visited, and the qualified electors in each dwelling house are to be grouped together and entered by streets, alleys and courts. The Assessor "is not to assess any person until (.fter careful inquiry of the voter him self orof some known resident of the elec tion district or division. In all cases the Assessor is obliged to enter in bis book op posite the name of each voter, the nam and residence of the rson who shall furnish in formation as to tbe residence and qualifica tions of each voter who is assessed. Continuing a description of the books that will be furnished is given and a statement that under the act of 187 1 any Assessor who shall knowitifjly assess any persons as a vo ter who is not qualified, or shall willfully refuse to assess any one who is qualified, is liable to punishment by imprisonment not exceeding two years and a fine not exceed ing $!,. Tbe new act makes illegal voting more difficult and most impossible if the officers are vigilant. Tired of Farm Life. From the Johnslowa Democrat On Tuesday a young girl arrived in this city from the neigtibornood oi somerset. She was but fifteen years old and had been enticed away from her home on a farm in Somerset county to come to this city by a married man whom it is said furnished the money for the girl to come with. Tuesday evening she fell in with two young Johns- toivn girls who are a little reckless as to the company tuey Keep, ana in a snort ume the girls were picked np on the street by some young fellows who escorted thera into one of our drinking places where they were in a short time very much intoxicated. The girls were then taken to an Italian boarding house on Iron street, where tbey remained all night The father of the conntry girl came to the city yesterday in search of his daughter and put the police on her track. The otEcers made search for her and called at the Italian boarding house or "shark" and were told bv the Italian men present that there were not any girls there. The officers entered the house, however, and found the three young girls in an upstairs bedroom. The one they were in search of was taken to the Central Station. Her father was sent for and when he called to see his wayward child she refused to return home with him, saying that she was not treated well at home. She was left in a ce.l at the station house until after noon, and after several gentlemen had become interested in the young girl's case and talked to her kind ly, she at last consented to return home with her father if he would call for her.
