The Bilveritea are threatening that if the Biand bill ia vetoed they rill knife the Wilson bill, and thus the President isplaeed "between the devil and the deep aea." It is believed at Washington that the Bo-called Eland aeignorase bill, to coin a vacuum, if passed by the Senate, as it probably will be, will meet with a veto at the bands of the President Less than "three years more of Gro ver" and his tariff smashers, and then the country will resume business at the old stand. By that time people will have all "the chance" they voted for. Hos.Ch as. W. Stos is formally an nounced as a candidate far re-nomination to his present seat in Congress, from the Twenty-seventh district. This takes him out of Gubernatorial race and leaves General Ilastinirs a clear field. Statisti.s show that 1,IKW,000,000 gal lons of beer are annually manufactured in this ountry. An additional tax of a cent a gillon. or a dollar a barrel on this product, would make up a large portion of the country's deQcient revenues. Hos. Besj. L. Hew it, of Hollidays burg, some years since Speaker of the House at Hirriaburg, and Lvrt session a member of the Legislature, died at the Bingham House in Philadelphia, ou Sat urday last. Mr. Hewit was one of the leading lpub!icin politicians in the State, a lawyer of ability and a gentle man of spotless reputation, whose death will bertpretted by many friends. Aitei five days of debate the Pension Appropriation bill passed the House on Thursday last, without a division. The bill appropriates 1 51, 000,0. 0. Mr. Grow Finalized Lis return to the House after an absence of thirty years, by offering an amendment to the bill providing that no pension on account of disability in Fervice should be less than 512 a month. The amendment was not adopted, but taking it as a text, he made a brief but brilliant speech that elicited applause from both aides of the House. CosiEfcs.M.vx Hu'BLcx, of Iowa, made a good point in the pension debate a few dayssii.ee. He made the assertion that the late Confederate Slates contributed not one dollar toward the payment of pensions of I'nion veterans, and follow ed this by the statement that of the tl"i0,o00,inK) internal revenue taxes the South paid less than $3,0M,OjO ; of the 177XK),C1 custom rev:i is only $4,000, O00, and of the miscellaneous receipts less than ?2,000,0H). In return theSouth is paid J9,0U),0t0 in sugar bounty, $5,(11)0, Otui in pensions, and $5,00i'i,0ti0 as a defi cit in postal receipts. This was a center shot and there was no reply. The Wilson bill as amended by a sub committee of the Finance Committee of the Senate, was reported tothe full Com mittee on Thursday last, and will proba bly reach the Senate fjr consideration in the course of the next ten days. It is a hybrid that pleases no one, but may pos sibly pass the Senate because it is the creature of a trade and dicker, made be tween Senators who were looking after their individual or local interests, instead of the good of the whole country or the nourishing of its industries. In direct contravention of the Chicago platform that denounced protection as "unconstitu tional, and as a robbery of the many for the benefit of the few," it takes sugar, coal, iron and lead ores and other arti cles from the free list, where they were placed by the original bill as it passed the House, and proposes to protect them by a tariff duty, while at the same time it leaves wool on the free list We are not surprised, therefore, that the stalwart free trade Democratic journals of the country are denouncing it as "a cowardly surrender to protective interests." Th e most casual glance at the reported bill must satisfy any one, that the insufficient protection it extends to certain articles is yielded merely to placate individual Senators and to secure their votes. It is also patent that the trusts were influen tial in the construction of the bill, the "Whisky Trust, the Sugar Trust, aud oth er less conspicuous trusts all being cared for. While the country may be thank ful for the measure of protection afford ed to some articles, it owes no thanks to the Democratic party nor to the individ ual Ienjocratic Senators who were forced by lioaie pressure to trade their votes lor concessions of immediate concern to their local interestis. It is very evident that it mas simply a question of votes that at last controlled the committee in the for mation of the biil as reported. The Southern free traders were bull-headed and determined to have their way, but self-interest and self-preservation influ enced others who let, I would, wait npon I dare not, and a kick was developed. Thus the Kentucky Senators in the in terests of their distillers, secured an ex tension of the bonded period to eight years, the Alabama Senators secured an increased duty on iron ore, the Maryland and West Virginia Smators had coal taken from the free list and made dutia ble, while Murphy, of New York, secur ed an increase of duty on collarg and cuffs, the principal industry in his sec tion of the S tate. Thus it is believed that a suilieient number of votes have been obtained to insure the passage of the bill, and the poor conjemptible traffickers in votes tare but little else of their boasted "free raw material" policy left than free wool, which will point a moral and adorn a tale ia the next Presidential campaign. The Wilson bill has the merit, if there be any merit in it of being a bold, coura geous step towards ultimate free trade, tut as amended by the Senate commit tee it is a miserable, cowardly makeshift, it trade and dicker written all over its ongaiaiy features, and it will be subject to still farther mutilation before it can e fon-ed through the Senate. The hole bill is exclusively Democratic and by it that party must tand or fall. He has no more influence," said a Uattford wit, "he Las no more (influence baa 'p' in pneumonia." II,trfurd Cuur a.J. Sckita Ollom says that the new tar iff bill reminds him of a crary quilt. It will make the country also look like crazy quilt if it ever shall become a law.

Woonsnckt (Mmm Exporter. The late Hon. James G. Blaine, than whrn no more patriotic American ever lived to honor his country, ouce nsed these memorable words: "I love my country and my countrymen. I am an American, and I rejoice every day of my life that I am. I enjoy the general pros perity of my country, and know that the workingmcn of this land are the best r;H rw fed and the best clothed of tnv laborers on the face of the earth. Many of them have homes of their own. They are surrounded by ail the comforts and many of the luxuries of life. I shudder, however, at the thought that the time must come when all this will be charged, when the general prosperity of the country will be destroyed, when the great body of workingmen in this land, who are now no prosperous, ill hear their wives and children cry for bread ; that the day mnst come when the great factories and manufactories of this land w ill shut down, and where there is now life and activity there will be the silence of the tomb. And the rea son why this must be is this: The great Southern wing of the Democratic party are determined to establish the doctrines of free trade in this land. They will be assisted by their northern allies. There is a great body of visionary, but educated men, who are employed day by day in writing free trade arguments and essays in favor of the doctrine, which find their way to every newspaper in this hind. The great body if our people have nev er experienced, themselves, the suffer ings which always result when the pro tective principles are laid aside. Poisoned and excited by the wild statements of these writers and the demagogic appeals of the Democratic speakers, the result will be that in the very near future these forces which are now working will be strong enough to defeat at the polls the party advocating the doctrine of protec tion. It must inevitably follow that nn certain'y and doubt will ensue. The business men of the country, fearing the destruction of the principles of protec tion, will decline to engage in business. consequently mills will shut down and the workingmen will be thrown out of employment The people wil. then see as they have never seen before tuat taey cannot be prosperous and have work while this principle is threatened. In the midst of their sufferings they will learn that the onlv wav thev can be prosper ous and happy is to vote for the party that has built uptiie industries oy wkicn they have gained a livelihood ; because they will then 6ee clearly that when the manufactory is shut dow n there is no de mand for the onlv thin? which thev have to sell, and that is V eir labor." How strikinalv truthful was this proph ecy, and how accurately it is being ful- lilied. where the Money Comes From. Congressman Hepburn gave some figures in bis "jieech on Monday which should be brne ia mind by the American people. The Pension Appropriation bill was under dis cussion, aud Mr. Hepburn went into an analysis of the source of the money spent for pensions to veterans of the I'nion army Of the $150,"uo,0i.i internal revenue tax es. the Soulb paid less thin O.O 0 ; of the 177,0u0.0U0cu?tom receipts, Ibe South paid but $4,0X1,000; of tlie miscellaneous re ceipts less thau $2,0 Xi,'" J. " So that," said he. addressing the Southern members, " you contribute less than $! 3mO.Oai to the reve nues of the government. How do you get tbatback? Nine miiiioas return as sugar bounty, $5,0u0,uu0 in pensions and $5,0ou,tn0 as a delicit in postal receipts. You there fore receive bark $3,(X,i0 more than you contribute. You contribute not a cent to Northern pensions... What difference does it make to you what we do with our mon ey?" The statistics quoted by Mr. Hepburn ap ply to the operation of tbe tariff, as well to the pension question. While but $-4.' , OO of the $177 ,0u0,0u0 of custom duties is collected in the Southern States, the work of revising and reverting the tariff policy of the country is confided to Southern Congress men. Does it not appear that the South has much too large a share in arranging tbe na tional affairs? Chronide Teltamjih. The Tariff on Hay. The hay dealers and producers throughout the country are up in arms over the change in the tariff on hay from f-t.OO to $2.00 per ton, as proposed by the Wilson bill. Recognizing the danger to this vast interest which represents a farm value of f 7-50,01 0.000 annually, the great est of any crop raised in the United States, they have requested the Hay Tradr Journal, of Canajoharie, X. Y., to circulate a petition asking Uie Senate to maintain the duty on hay at its precsnt rate. The Journal published the petition a week ago, and as an indication of the wishes of the people, has received sheets containing signatures of over thirty thousand dealers and formers from the hay-marketing States of the Union, and has placed them before the proper au thorities at Washington. As the hay in dustry represents more value than wheat, oats, corn or cotton, and directly affect a vast interest, it should induce the Ways and cleans Committee to let well enough alone, and not jpopardiz tbe welfare of the multitude who depend upon bay growingfor a livelihood. Crow's Maiden Speech. Thursday afternoon ex Sneaker Gauha A.:row, of Pennsylvania, ma le his maiden speech after his re-entry into Congress. It was on his amendment to the pension ap propriation bill, and clearly showed that the "old man eloquent" had lost none of his early vi-orsnd ability. Tbe closes1 attention was paid to bis remarks, the members from both sides of the House gathering arouud him, and when he bad finished he was ac corded a hearty round of applause. Mr. Grow s amendment made the lowest monthly rate for disability $12. If the Gov ernment were to do auytbing for the old soldier, he said, il should do something substantial. Dollars and cents should not be weighed ia the national scales against the heroic deeds and services of the defenders of their countrv. An Unseen Enemy. Is more to be dreaded than an open and visible one. That subtile and lurking foe, which under tbe generic came of malaria manifests itself, when it clutclu ua in ii tenacious grasp, in the various forms of coiiit and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague or ague cake, can only be effectually guarded aeainst by fortifying tbe systea against its insidious attacks with Hot tel. ter's Stomach Bitten, a thorough antidote to the poison of miasma in the system; and a safeguard against it thoroughly to be relied upon. In the event of a malarious attack avoid poisoning your system with quinine, and use instead this w holesome remedy, unobjectionable in taste and far more effica cious than any drug. Use the Bitters for dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation, kidney complaints and rhutnatism. Emptied the Store Room. Last Wednesday H. Goldstone of Mt Pleasant opened a general store In the village of Waterford in Ligonier township, and that evening returned to his home in Mt, Pleasant, leaving the store in the charge ofaclerk. This morning when the clerk went to the store to open up for the day's business he was astonished to find the room almost empty, burglars havinr forced an entrance during tbe night and taken cloth ing, boots, shoes, underwear, gents' furnish ing goods, etc.. to tbe amount of Si oi hauled them away. fc. . i Fear Coxey'a Crank Army. CoLrMMs,0., March, It Coxey s army, that it to march from Massi'lon, to Wash- ir.pton, P. C, is no longer a joke and the citizens of Massillon are becoming greatly alarmed at tbe gathering there of cranks, tramps and unemployed It borers. Co ley is a rich man and fully able to carry ont bis crack-brained scheme. He has been joined by a long-haired crank named Browne, who was driven out of Chicago by Mayor Har rison last fall for making an incendiary s;xcb to the bread rioters. Two weeks from to-day, if the authorities do not stop the proceedings, the army will leave Ifassillon for Washington. Their first stop will be at redurban, four miles out, where they will take refreshments and organize. Canton will be reached by even ing, whers a mass meeting is to be held on the public square. The army will then bivouac, probabiy on the fair grounds. Then the line of march will be through Stark and Columbiana Counties into Beaver Falls, Pa., where Corey says the unarmed army will spend its first Sunday on its way to the national capital. Tbe Mayor of Beaver Falls says not Pittsburgh is to be entered on Tuesday, April 3, and there ac cording to Coxey and Browne, hundreds ill fall into the ranks behind the banner of tbe "Common Weal" army. It is aaid Cumberland, Md., will be reached the fol lowing Saturday, Htgerstown a week later and Washington on Tuesday, April 17. Tbe officers of the army will ride horses, furnished from the stables of Coxey, who used to own a stock breeders' arm in Ken tucky. The common soldiers will walk. Arms are forbidden, and Coxey calls on all who come out to see the army to bring baskets of provisions and give them to his soldiers. TO DEXAKD CEASET LEGISLATION. He declares that 500 men will start from Massillon Easter Sunday, and by tbe time Washington is reached the army will have 50,000 recruits. Congress is expo. ted to take care of the mob. It will also be asked to pass a bill compelling the Secretary of the Treasury to issue Treasury notes on demand from any Stale, city, town or other municipal body which deposits a bond there for. Tbe money to be used on public im provements. Coxey is a "good roads agitator, and wants the Government to issue $50i, .00,000 in legal tender notes, to be used at the rale of f JOJUO.'kw a month, prorata with tbe number of miles of roads in each Stite and Territory, for the improvement of highways. Laborers are to receive $1 ,i0 a day ; team sters, $3, and eight hours are to constitute a day's labor. coxey's egotistic xotioks. Coxey says this will settle tbe greatest question before the people to-day, giving work to the unemployed all over the United States. He has issued a bulletin, in which he calls on his army to remember Washing ton in tbe snow at Valley Furge, and if necessary to suffer like them in a good cause. . Ex-Speaker Hewit Dead. HoLUDATSBiBii, Pa., March 10. Hon. Benjamin Lightner Hewit, ex-peaker to the house of representatives of Pennsylvania, and one of the best known Republican politicians of the state, died about 2 o'clock this morning in the Bingham House, Phila delphia, where he went for medical treat ment. Tbe cause of death was inflammation of tbe brain. Mr. Hewit served eight years in the bouse of representatives and in ISM was chosen sjieaker of that body. He was a tisn com missioner from 1$73 until 1n4, and planned the Corrv batching house, the best fish- batching establishment in America. He was chairman of the house committee in 1373 on the revision of the civil code. In ls79 he helped to prevent the passage of the riot bill, whose provisions would have taken fct uoo.OnO out of the state treasury Purine tbe great struggle in l!Sl over tbe election of a I'uited Slates senator Mr. Hewit received several votes on different ballots for that high office. During tbe late legislature be became prominent in tbe opposition to the seating of Andrews and also as the father of the pure food bill. H leaves a wife and two sons. Arrested In the Pulpit. Bibmisc.ham, Ala., March 11. William Hunt, alias Rev. W. M. Thompson, in charge of the Methodist Church at East Birmingham, was arrested near tbe close of his sermon this morning by two policemen in citizens' clothes, and will be taken back to Jackson, Miss., where be will serve out a life sentence imposed on him five years ago for tbe assassination of a brother minis er in bis pulpit while preaching to a large con gregation. Tbe cause of the killing was the appoint ment of tbe murdered man to a pastorate desired by Thompson. He was sent to toe penitentiary for life but soon made his es cape. He came here about two years ago calling himself tbe Rev. W. M. Thompson, and assisted in quite a number of revivals, proving himself an earnest eiborter and preacher. His congregation was horrified at bis arrest, and caa hardly believe that their pastor is guilty of the crime stated. M'Kane Stole Thousands. Xiw York, March 10. John Y. McEane, the political ex-boss of Gravesend, who was recently sent to Sing Sing Prison for ob structing justice, and whose trial created great sensation, is an embezzler of a sum of money estimated at from $."25,000 to $.500,001). The town board of auditors of Gravesend. at a lste hour to-day announced that they had discovered that about $5o0,000 paid to John Y. McKane during tbe year 1K bad not been accounted for. Of this amount $l.'!0,o was in street im provement bonds; S7U.000 in sewer bonds ; $22j.i) was paid to McKane by John L. Yoorhies, Commissioner of Investments, ac cording to an act of tbe Legislature, which was passed at McKane s suggesti n ; $lo.i0 was received by the ex-Supervisor from the tax collector to pay town bills ; $X0 from the board of health for cleaning the town; $ll.Mi from tbe treasurer to psy town bills, and $,o"0 from the excise commissioner. Women For Jurors. Chicago, March 11. Judge Burke is now considering whether to accept or reject a woman juror. A woman presented herself yesterday to exercise the functions of a citizen by sitting in tbe jury box. Upon the list of jurors issued for Judge Burke's court Monday appeared the name of M. E. Farson, No. 121 Warren avenue. The bailiff in whose district this residence lay did not serve tbe tummons personally, but left a copy. Yesterday morning Miss Mary Farson, principal of the Brown school, ap peared before tbe bar of Judge Burke's court. She was ready, she said, to help ont th cause of justice in Cook county, but thought her excuse apparent and valid. Judge Burke will decide whether he will thus help along the cause of woman maneipation. Miss Parson voted last year upon the school question, and in censequenae her name appears npon the voting list. Pensioners Decreasing. WASHisi.ros, March 0. Tbe decrease in the number of claims received daily at the Pension Bureau is shown in- a statement prepared at the department, The number of pensioners on the rolls is now ap proximately yGO.OOO, against 952,000 for the corresponding week of last year. Tbe number of cases now pending the action of the examiners ia &(,1G9. This is a decrease of over9I,Gtf in tbe standing number during the year. Tbe number received during last week ia a decrease of 3,443 from tbe number received in the corresponding week last year. There is also a decrease of 2s 1 in the number of case allowed during the week, and an increase of 550 in the cases rejected. Something for Nothing. To get something for nothing is contrary to the laws of nature and mankind ; if you want a Flange, that is a good baker and per fect roaster, try the Cinderella : it it told at a fair price, and will give you good service. It lightens labor and lessens care. Sold by Jas. B. Hoiderbaum. i A Wild Eyed Scheme Term, March 11. C. J. Jones, who is at the head of the "construction oomwiy'' which has the contract to grade the first li mile;of the so-called ' Gulf and fnler-State Railroad," hat gona to Point Bolivar, on Galveston Bay, opposite the city of Galveston where be will commeace work. Jones says be will "blaze tbe way" for the great Podu liat transportation project bimatlf, making the entire journey from Galveston to Mani toba in a two-wheeled cart drawn by a team of trained buffalo. Jones has organized four engineer corps to make the survey of tbe railroad. These are aires ly in tbe field under the direction of C S. Beadle, of Pitts burgh, Kan., the chief engineer. Jones says the money to grade the 100 miles has already been raised by the company. F. J. Close, secretary of the company, who is also Governor Lewelling's private secreta ry, says the construction and equipment of SO miles of road from Galveston to Beau mont, a station on the Southern Pacific, have already been assured. He says the money is in the treasury to do the grading, and tbe ties will be furnished by Texas communi ties; rolling mills will take bonds of the road for tbe steel and the rolling stock will be furnished by an equipment company. Upon the completion of this 0' miles of road. Close says, the business men of Gal veston are to pay a bonus of $51 ,00, and the owners of a tract of land on Point Boli var are to deed tbe company a half interest therein, out of which tbe company is ex pected to realize $2,0u0,000 by the sale of town Iota. With this money it is expected to push northward. Oan Coughlln Acquitted. Pan Coughlin, the Chicago ex-detective. was Thursday evening acquitted of the mur der of Pr. P. H.Oonin, and it a free man for the first time since bis arrest on May 25, l!M9. Thejury't verdict ended a trial of four months' duration, concerning a crime that is probably the most sensational in modern history. The acquittal was the lat est and most surprising sensation. A con viction was thought probable, and a disa greement more than likely, but acquittal was not expected, even by Coughlin's friends. The verdict practically declares Burke and O'Sullivan, who died in prison, innocent men. They and Coughlin were sent to Jo liet for life, and the survivor after three years in prison was granted a new trial, which ended Thursdsy. Coughlin was re tried on the old indictment. All the evi dence of the former trial was introduced, and new testimony directly implicating Coughlin was heard, yet he was acquitted and the two men who died as felons were held blameless of the crime that caused their death. Judge Tutbill cbareed rather lavor- ably for the defense Tbe verdict was greeted with cheers by tbe crowd that filled the court room. The chief evidence against the ex-detect ive was tbe admitted fact that he hired the white horse and tbe buggy in which the doctor was supposed to have been driven to the. Carlson cottage. Coughlin did not take tbe stand in his own defense, but his counsel, while admit ting the hiring, claimed that the rig had been procured for a friend of Cougblin's from Hancock, Mich., who was in the city on a visit. Coughlin and Cronin were members of the same camp of the Clan-na gael, and it was charged that tbe ex detective had frequently hinted that the doctor would meet with a "traitor's death."

Regarding tbe wearing of their religious garb by the nuns who have been elected teachers in the Riverside public school at Pittsburg, and their right to do so. no opin ion has yet been issued from tbe Department of Public Instruction, but it is semi-official ly stated that there is no law upon the statute books governing or in any way regulating the style of dress which teachers shall wear. "The law properly leaves al such incidental questions to the good judg ment and common sense of tbe teachers themselves. At tbe same time it is presura ed that in the exercise of this discretion teachers will not mike themselves con spicuous by any peculiar garb or offend tbe patrons of tbe public schools by wearing any costume prescribed by a religious de nomination inasmuch as the law does not and cannot recognize sectarianism in any form in the administration of tbe public school system." One of the largest sales of farm stock ever held in Eastern Pennsylvania was that of John Nace, who owns a large distil. ery as well, in Montgomery county.

The great offer being made by the Pitts burgh DlfatLh to take the sixty teachers of the public schools of Pittsburgh, Allegheny and other points in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland to Atlantic City in July is tbe talk of tbe hour. Tbe additional inducement that tbe twelve teach ers of tbe sixty who receive the largest number of Totes fill be taken on a supple mentary trip to Philadelphia, Vew York and Boston after tbe Atlantic City trip is over it indicative of the liberality which governt the Pittsburgh JJUfiUh in every thing it does.

The time it rapidly approbing when our j public schools will all close for the long rammer vacation. In fact in a few districts tbe teachers bav already taken a final fare- , welt of tho-e who for the last six months bad been their pupils. A few words relative to tbe closing of lbs schools, therefore, may be timely and interesting to the general educational public A fKtceivful JVnu-Tbe schools throughout the countT have had a very full and regular attendance, as well as the advantage of a 1 strong teaching force. These favorable con ditions together with the benefits derived from free text books and supplies, will, we believe, show a very marked progress in the school work of tbe county during tbs last term. Only in a few small sections have any of the diseases, common to children, interfered with tbe schools. While com plete returns alone can show the record made yet from present indications that record will be very encouraging to all workers in and for tbe schools. Free Text-Boots The sudden and general application of the free text-book law has re sulted in some frictions, and in most districts a greater expense than was at first anticipat ed. But few boards of directors had made any provisions for meeting the additional expense of purchasing books and supplies. Becauseof this fact and the general reduc tion in the pro rata of.the State appropriation nearly all our districts have been obliged to incur a debt which was not intended or de sired. From a general estimate, I believe that more than half of the books used in the schools were supplied from tbe public funds. It is evident therefore that the ex pense will not be nearly as heavy in any one future term, and after all books are once owned by the districts, the cost of maintain ing an adequate supply will he comparative ly small. There has been a very general and hearty approval of tbe free book system, because of its very marked beuefit of the schools. Ex perience and careful management will, we, believe, overcome all objection to it, and in a very few years prove it real economy. Cart of the Boots The care and keeping of the free books is left to tbe local bmrds most of whom have alresdy made provision for storing them liuruifMhe summer. Strong book-cases placed in tbe schoolrooms, seem to afford the most convenient and satisfac tory arrangement. If this is not done the books should be boxed and placed in care of some responsible citizen of the district. The State Superintendent has ruled that free text-books cannot, under any conditions be used in summer normal or select schools. Directors have not the discretionary power to permit their use in this way. Grading tlte SclrioU Whatever we may have lacked in previous years in the thor ough grading of all our schools, has been supplied by the system of free books. I am pleased to note that ail our teachers have used and followed the Course of Study, adapting it to tbe needs aud conditions of the individual schools which is their right and duty. Term Bep-yrt blanks have been mailed to each teacher and it is earnestly hoped aud requested that thtse reports be promptly and fully made, so that the suc ceeding teachers may know the chua-stand-ing, the grade and the work of each pupil at the beginning of the next term. If the blank has not icached its destination a new one should be ordered at once. Apfilicants fur Graduation Acting upon the suggestion made to teachers at tbe County Institute, a limited number of applicants for graduation hase been recomuwuded and these sbow a higher average age than last year. The object is to strengthen the Course of Study and to advance gradually tbe stand ard required for graduation.

Teachers Examinations. Permit me to say here that circumstances will req lire a change in the plan of holding the regular teachers' examinations. A large number of teachers will attend tbe State Normal schools and will not return to tbe county until tbe 5:h or 8:h of July. We desire moreover to avoid the grouping of large numbers together at any one point and thus permit more satis (actorv work bv all applicants. Tbe exam inations will begin about the 10th of July and wiil close about tbe 10th of August. No less than twenty dates and places will be announced, thus permitting applicants to be examined where tbey expect to teach so far as may be practicable, and affording direct ors an opportunity of meeting their teachers before employing them. Let the teachers seektodo earnest thorough work in the local normals or elsewhere, and then apply for examination in the proper district re gatdless of the school tbey have attended. Wbile tbe plan here outline ! will require more time and labor, and expense on the part of the examiner, than in former years, I am persuaded that it will be to the best in terests of all parties concerned, and therefore I trust it will meet with ready and hearty approval.

It was stated at tbe Bureau that a margin of nine or ten days in the time required 30 days from the lime of re ceipt of notice, in which additional evi dence could be filed, would undoubtedly be allowed.

Thursday morning the Grand Jury at Uniontown, Pa., reported on the case of John Manaway, charged with selling liquor itliou-. license and on Sunday, and with keeping a gambling house.

James R ibiuson, who fir a long time held the title of the champion birebick lider of the world, is spending his declining years on bis farm in Missouri.

Mr. Robinson is the same little wiry man that he always was and, except for his hair, has not the appearance of being more than 40 years old. The witnesses in the case of Prof. Swithian C. Shortlidge, who shot and killed Lis bride of six weeks wbile walking along tbe strtet two months ago, were before the Grand Ju ry in Delaware county, last week, and Prof. Sbortiidge was indicted on three counts murder, manslaughter, and involuntary manslaughter. Counsel for the accused de sired an immediate trial, but the District Attorney objected, stating that Prof. Short lidge was in such condition that he had to be chained to his bed at the Norristown Hos pital and that the Stale would not consent to a trial before the June term of Court. The case was therefore postponed. There is no longer any doubt about tbe prosecution of Thomas W. Ahl for alleged attempted bribery of Thomas G. Sample, Department Commander of tbe G. A.

Ahl has been arrested at Carlisle by a Pittsburg detective and given bail for his appearance at the present quarter sessions in Pittsburg. An indictment will be found immediately and the case will be tried the last week in March. It will doubtless attract a great deal of attention. AVCQ'e Sarsaparilla M.

Though It grew very rapidly from tbe start, thousands of its members deserted the Grand Army, as a result of political wrangle among in posts in tbe Western States prior to 171. When tbe leading eastern members subse quently made it a law of tbe order to banish from it political dissensions, it btgao to grow in strength and numbers aain. From 1371 to la78 the order merely main tained it? own, as tbe total membership on December 31, 1371, was 30,124, and on De- jetuber31, 1.378, the camber was only 31,01ii. Inl376 there were less than 27. 0x) members. The growth of the order from tlat time. however, was rapid. In 13UU the membership reached, its max imum figure 40!,4S9. In that year 6,404 deaths were reported. The membership was 3K7.723 in 13UJ. Since 1371 the Grand Army is officially reported to have expended for relief $2 'a, Out).
