DEATH OF TRH. DOUBLE HEADED The two female children from Ohio, recently on exhibition in Philadelphia, having two distinct heads, four arms, and in common .two legs and one body, died in Boston a few days since. One of these children was taken sick in the evening and died Boon afterwards ; the death of the other followed three hours later. These were evldntly two beings, for there were two distinct lives, bear ing a certain relation to each other, yet different and Independent, one living without the other; not very long, it Is true, yet sufficiently long to de stroy their (by some) supposed Identity and estab lish the fact of two different beings—two Immor tal souls.

THE travel having been suspended across the Lehigh Bridge those having occasion to cross the Lehigh arc put to great Inconvenience. The question has been asked " what right have: the Commissioners to Interrupt travel for so long a time l" If the proper energy and enterprise had been exerted the work could have been done with out putting any one to any inconvenience. It has been apparently considered cheaper to employ ten men six days than It Would be to employ sixty men one day. The . Commissioners were not cut out for Generals. TOE Rev. Thomas G.

Mr. Peitz delivered his Sunday School lettuto Tuesday evening to an appreciative but not very large audience. Every effort was made by those having the matter in charge to secure a full house, but scholars and teachers being this week afflicted with the pic•ulc epidemic—one at least every day —lecture, music and such other unseasonable lux uries were voted down. Mr. Peitz has many warm friends and a high reputation In this city, and has lost neither in delivering this most interesting OR. course, Mr. John.M. Evans and the two Indies who accompanied him gave eminent satisfaction hn the musical department. Such a treat as was enjoyed last evening In the Court . tiouseshould bc repented during the lecture Ana concert season, and our word for It there would be no empty scats nor aisles either. A. CORIOSITY.—Mr. Morgan Emanuel, Elr., has recently planned and built upon the Scholl Farm, about one mile from Catasauqua, a perpet ual or furnace lime kilo. The kiln le built In the shape of a blast-furnace with a draw at the bot tom. The stack Is twenty-three feet high, with a ten foot bosh, and will hold about two hundred bushels. •It is built of stone and lined with fire brick. At the bottom are three large bars, for the, purpose of keeping the stone In place while burning, which are drawn out at stated intervals allowing the lime to fall into the draw. Thirty' bushels of lime arc taken out at a single draw. This kiln Is capable of burning 'three hundred . bushels of lime daily. For forty year's Mr. Email uel has been maturing this plan and since it has been in operation is more than rewarded.. The lime Is of a superior quality and will compare f avorably 'With the White mareh.—Volley Record, HOUSE Fetes.—These little pests are now In full vigor and it requires no small amount of vigilance and perfect cleanliness to keep the rooms and tables clear of them, especially at tneal times. ,There arc two specimens , of them, but they aro so much alike in appearance that none but a keen observer can detect the difference. One species are biters, but the other are perfectly harmless In this respect. The difference is de tected in a very peculiar manner, which, although the fact has long since been established, may not be generally known. If you observe a house fly alight on the wall, or any perpendicular surface, and he turns bead downward or half round in that direction, he is harmless; but if he remains with his head upward, in the position in which he alighted, he Is a biter. Kill him at once. A IVAntim.—An article in the Mining Register concludes as follows :—There Is a large hole In the side of the Pocono mountain, north of Stroudsburg, which ought to be photographed fer the good of the farmers of Pennsylvania. It was dug by the farmers of the neighborhood, between 1830-1810, at the suggestion and under the super intendence of one of those wandering charlatans who declared that he had " come upon the track of a silver mine" on the north flank of the Blue Mountain, where the Aquanchicola creek flows down towards the Lehigh Water Gap. lie had followed it" across the creek, and across the hills about Stroudsburg, and over hill and valley for twenty miles, and found It " strong" on the steep side of the Pocono mountain. With this story he lived on the people for more than sixteen mouths, and suddenly disappeared after they had spent between $1,500 and $2,000 (a great sum In those days and for such people), and could give him nothing more. IN A BAD FIX.—A gentlemah who resides In the township of Sauconivisited the city Wednes day and while here transformed himself into a sad example (Utz accompany a temperance lec turer, to be pointed' at triumphantly as a living confirmation of the lecturer's most dismal pic tures. While In this unfortunate condition he embarked In a falling-top buggy for home. Whether he intended to play Toadies or imagined himself the falling-top, deponent saith not, but lu going down Water street he fell forward with re markable abandon and lodged helplessly on the shafts, part of himaniging down immediately behind the horse. A good Samaritan jumped into the wagon and held on to his feet to prevent the Inebriate's hopes falling to the ground, while an other unhitched the animal and thus succeeded in extrleating the gentleman from Simeon. Ills rumship was laid upon the side-walk and a neigh bor who EMI came along took bins In charge and conveyed him to his home. A cißcuidat is being distributed among the voting members of the Moravian congregation, signed " Many Brethren," appealing to the mem bers to vote against selling lands to the Farmers' & Mechanics' Institute of Bethlehem, became the land Is worth $2,000 per acre, or. if not now, will be in 11 years ; and secondly, a fair is not a reli gious and charitable institution, and the charter says the congregation shall apply Its moneys and lands only to religious and charitable purposes. We don't know who the getters-up of the circular ' are. The writer of the appeal is death on race courses and driving parks.Beildellem Times. NEW MOVE.—Tile Lehigh Coal & Naviga tion Company aro making surveys of their land a short distance above Mauch Chunk upon which it Is proposed to store their coal, mined when the market Is not In a condition to receive it. The Delaware & Hudson Canal Company .have done this fora long time and find it very profitable. The location has not yet Ltecn decided upon. This Is a new departure for the old company, and we hope it will be found to be suc cessful In a pecuniary point of view. The coal mined nt Summit Ilill during the winter when trade is dull will be stored on this side of the river and shipped by canal when prices are better, in spring and fall. Coal front New Port mutes will be stored on the other side of the Lehigh if the company deems It advisable. It is expected that there will be sometimes as high as two or three hundred thousand tons on hand at these yards.— Mauch Chunk Gazelle. THE Board of Trade; nt first looltCd upon by many as a nonenity, Is tint only a Success, but hi . growlng very powerful and promises to exert a mighty Influence In the future of our city. Most of the leading business men of the city have be come members and the lists are swelling very fast. We hope the meetings will be as well attended In the future and excite the same Interest that they have thus far, end then the ajects of the organi zAtion cannot fail to be accomplished. No meet ing will be held until September, as It is the cus tom of. merchants in all large cities to ruralize during the dog days and the Board was therefore unwilling to meet for the transaction of business, knowing that the larger number of Its members would be absent at Cape May, Long Branch, the White Mountains or Niagara Fall,. MORE IMPROVEMENTS.—Wm. L. Stauffer, an architect, living at the corner of 'Jackson and Tenth streets, has purchased of Nathan Dresher the large piece of vacant ground lying on the south side of Jackson street, between Ninth and Tenth streets, and has already commenced breaking ground for the erection of eight elegant dwelling houses of Italian architecture. They arc to be erected in Weeks of two buildings each, giving a vacant space between each block of twenty-fora• feet. These building sites overlook the valley of the Little Lehigh, the most beautiful scenery our city can boast. This portion of the town bids fair to rival in a couple of years every other portion of the city In the beauty of its residence, as quite it number are In contemplation of erection in this locality. We understand all the above buildings are sold us lilt the exception of two, which are also being negotiated for and will be taken probably In a few days. Mr Stauffer has, after a series of ex periments during the labt twelve years, perfected a hollow wall for which he claims many advan tages over the ordinary solid wall: buildings erected in this manner are entirely free front mai lure, which all brick dwellings are subjees to; are more economical, saving nearly one-third in uta '•l, and admits of a more perfect ventilation, while the wall Is claimed to be stronger and more durable than the solid wall. A patent has been rwpned for. Mr. Stantrer's invention Is undoubt edly a most valuable one and Is deserving of suc cess. THE Cattf.kr STEEL RAIL. MILL 11 BETIILE IIEM.—The new steel rail mill at Bethlehem, now erecting by the Bethlehem Manufacturing Com- ' patty, under the direction of John Fritz, will be, when done, the largest In this country, and one of the largest lu existence. It consists of a building 105 feet wide, spanned by an iron and slate roof without supporters. 141630 feet high to the eaves, and Is in the shape of a cross, of which the long arm will be 900 feet and the short arms 142 feet each, making 1,184 by 105 feet area, or nearly three acres covered. This is only surpassed by the atilt at Crenzot,lnFrance, which consists of three buildings GO by 1,400 feet each, The capacity of the 'works .14 to make 800 tons of steel Ignots per day, but at present machinery will be erected for rolling but 100 tons of rails, or more than double the capacity of the largest mill yet erected. There will be eight 5 ton converters and two train rolls, one of 24 Inches and one of 28 Inches diameter, driven by two condensing en gines of 48 and 56 Inches diameter or cylinders and 44 and 48 inches stroke. This mill will be remarkable not only for Its enormous size and capacity, hut for the many new 8,014 14 1,076,021 10 labomatving conveniences introlueed Into the de sign of the plan, by the engineer, Mr. Fritz, who has examined personally all the Bessemer steel works both here and abroad before designing this. It Is the °pluton of experts who have seen It that It will turn out more tons of steel rails with less Manual labor than any other mill has ever done. TrtE Secretary of the Treasury has informed the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company . thnt he has no objections to their boats being measured and licensed as they arrive and are unladen at New York, provided all are documented within a. reasonable time, but he states that It is not 'with in his power to issue Instructions to the collector of New York to suspend the operations of the law In case of boats which enter the port without the proper marine papers. IF the same precautions were required by the rules of the Lehigh end Susquehanna Railroad as are used on the Reading Railroad the accident of Tuesday would not have happened. On the latter road torpedoes are usettunder all circum stances as warning's of danger. Had they been used Tuesday the engineer and fireman could not have failed to have been warned In time to save the ANALICaIs ov Soms.—ln a recent lecture on the subject of soils, Dr. Voeleker vigorously, and sensibly as he always Is, opposes the belief that soil analysis alone can determine the kind and quantity of fertilizer required for a given crop. To those knowing little of the teachings of modern agricultural science, it appears very simple to remedy a deficient sell by finding out through an alysis the wanting constituents, and then to sup ply them. But this is not so. It Is not only dif ficult to exactly analyze a soil, but many other things besideS its chemical composition have to be observed. The state of combination In which the mineral constituents of a soil arc found, Ito physical condition, the presence or absence of sub stances injurious to the growth of plants, arc so many points of great Importance upon which soil analysis casts a very dins and uncertain light. The fertility of the soll vannot be maltdained, much less increased, if only as much of fertilizing constituents is applied to the land as was removed by the crop. Waste takes place in various direc tions, and one Important source of this Is through the process ofdraluage. Careful collection and examination of drainage waters has shown that a large proportion of nitrogen Is carried oil In this way, chiefly in the form of nitrates. Dr. Voeleker's analysis of drainage waters also shows that potash and phosphoric acid, both most im portant mineral constituents for the plant, are almost entirely retained is the soil ; while others less important, such as lime, magnesia, or sul phuric acid, pass with greater readiness out of the land. SIVINDIERS ON THEIR THAVELS.—The Rend-? Mg Times says a couple of weeks ago a very gen tlernattli-looking man, of imposing appearance, and weighing probably two hundred pounds avor dupols, stepped into the shoe store of Mr. Philip Lein, No. 952 Penn street, and. looked at and priced different styles of shoes. lie finally selected a pair of gaiters and a pair of oboes, and as he had no small chaiige, offered in payment a check for $2B, which had been drawn by William Myers A: Co., sash manufacturers, in favor of John Collins, payable at the First National thank of Reading. Mr. Lelsz took the check, " Mr. Collins" first en dorsing it, and gave film the required change. The check was then deposited at Bushong C Bro.'s Banking 'House, and upon being presented at the First National Bank fur payment, it was pro nounced a forgery, such a firm as lVilliam Myers A: Co., and an Individual as John Collins not be ing known to the officers of that institution. Mr. Lelez therefore not only lost his shoes but the *2S besides. "John Collins" evidently belongs to a gang of harpers who have been plying their ne farious operations In Harrisburg, Lancaster and other places recently, and business men and otters should lie on the look out when such Individuals make their appearance. A few years' imprison ment would have n salutary etket upon all such " gentlemen." RAILWAY LUNCHEON BASKETS.—WO learn from the London Railway News, of recent date that an exp..riment has been tried ou the section of the Midland ItailWay, between Leicester and Kent, which might be imitated on the Lehigh Val ley, Lehigh LC: Susquehanna, and other railroads In this country with most satisfactory results. This experiment consists in the introduction of what - is known as the "lunch basket system," de vised by a well-known lirm of public caterers in Kent for the aecomtnodation of the traveling pub lic. It seldom happens that the thine allowed for refreshments on a long journey by rail tallies con veqiently with the exact period at which a travel er feels Inclined to era and drink. In order to overcome this difficulty, the nature of which all experienced railway travelers will readily under lit an d , the contractors are furnishing baskets of an easily portable size and form, well stocked with the materials for a comfortable luncheon— that. is to say, half a fowl, ham, bread nod butter, cheese, salad, a pint of claret or other light bey . erage, plates, knives and Turks, glasses and nap kins—the price being three shillings. The bas kets, which are made for the purpose, are provid ed with every necessity and convenience, and in side the lid Is affixed a printed card requesting that, as no deposit is required nor charge made for the nee of the conveniences in the basket, all I the articles will he replaced in their proper posi- (low, and the hashets delivered up complete at the end of the journey. More perfect arran4e ments will be made when the system Is fairly es taislished, which will enable the passengers to oh lain baskets when they please and deliver them up when convenient.

The train inelndes two first-class passenger cars, two smoking cars, two baggage anti mail cars... The passenger cars are, In their outward appearance, in everything except size, precisely like other 14st-class cars. In their Internal arrangements, however, they are . necessarily qulte different. They arc for n three feet guage, 35 feet In length, 7 feet In width, anti 10 feet 0 inches in height, rash to carry 111 passen get's. The centre of gravity Is kept very low, the main sills being 27 inches distant front the rails, which is 18 Inches less than Is customary In the standard guage roads. The seatnare so arranged that two passengers sit on one side and one on the opposite side of tile aisle, this arrangement extending half the entire length of the car, and being reversed in the other half to balance the car. These cars are supplied with every conve nience, sad by the peculiar construction of their trucks are said to run with the greatest ease? The windows of the ears let down with a strap like coach windows, instead of sliding up as they do in ordinary cars, and we do not see but what the lowering plan is the best after all. The ears are elegantly finished lushly, in walnut, Hungar ian ash, he., and are painted, inside, of a rich, dark green, relieved by gilt, precisely like the Pullman Palace ears, built by the. Jackson & Sharp Co. The smoking cars arc quite differently arranged, and hive walnut Rad ash seats, (such as we now see In many of our city street care) running lengthwise, back to back, the whole length of the car, so that the passengers face the windows. The baggage and mail cars differ In nothing except size front the similar cars of the ordinary gunge. Thu baggage and smoking cars have each but four wheels, but the passenger cars havo eight wheels, as Is used with the larger cars. The wheels for all of them are manufactured by the Lo`alell Car Wheel Company of Wilmington from mmhls made expressly for the new guage. EOM/ HonitEnv—PAPEns .TO THE VAL'ik: Or 5150,000 STOLCN. ilarrisburg State Jour nal says, one of the boldest, largest 'and most suc cessful robberies ever committed In this city oc curred on Monday night. Mr. 11. Blennerhassett, a banker doing business in New York, arrived during the afternoon on ills way West, and tem porarily stopped at the Lochlel hotel, and was assigned a room until the departure of the 2:10 train. Ile was promptly awakened, and going to the depot of the Pennsylvania railroad, seemed passage in a sleeping car. ' Soon atter entering the ear he went to the water cooler to slake his thirst, leaving a satchel deposited on the seat containing deeds of lands in lowa, registered bonds, anti papers valued In the aggregate to about $150,000. During his brief absence the satchel with Its valuable contents was appropriat ed by some thief, prior to the departure of the train, who succeeded in making his escape before the return of the owner, and so effectually cover ed his tracks that little hopes are entertained of his arrest. The whole transaction was done in a twinkling, the movements of the hanker having evidently hero closely watched and the golden op portanlty long been sought. Several persons, since the robbery, state that they saw a man get off the car with a satchel slung across his should er, and hurriedly walk away, but gave the cir cumstance no importance at the time, 111 r. Bien nerbassett telegraphed from Altoona to the May or's °nice in this city, and every effort is being made to arrest the guilty party, with faint pros peels, however, and small clue, The property stolen will be of uttio . rotoo to the thier, who can not likely dispose of either the bonds or papers. it is surmised that the person robbed was followed front point to point by the thief, who hoped to surreptitiously obtain money instead of valueless papers, which cannot be of any benefit toltim.

M. opened here yester day morning in the Good Templar's Hall, with clo•ed doom The attendance Is larger than It has ever been before. The question of Trade's Unlone occupied nearly the whole of the afternoon TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Collision on the Lehigh and Bus( uelianna Railroad. Several Persons Badly Injured. ingines and 'trains Sums!icd up. Toutlay we k; about six o'clock, the down coal r,tin on the Lehigh and Busquellitnna Division of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, drawn by en gine No. 67, broke a wheel when a short distance below the Allentown Depot and seven earn were thrown oft the track and wrecked. We learn thnt Information of the wreck wan telegraphed over the road, with Instructions for the up and down pan sumer trains due here about eight o'clock to ex change passengers at Allentown, and flagmen were sent above and below to warn approaching trains. Shortly after eight o'clock the engineer of 67 drew some freight cars off the siding for the purpose of having a better chance nt his wreck, and while running down the road, opposite Ben BOWS pipe works, the passenger train due at 8:23 appeared in sight; coming around the curve at full speed, and before It could be checked ran Into en gine 07. The damage was fearful to behold. Both engines were smashed up, their fronts so closely welded Into each other that they appeared like one engine with a cab at elthet end, and a single smoke stack in the middle. The force of tko collision was such as to break the steam cylinders Into pieces, the trucks, cow-catchers and many parts of the machinery were rendered a confused mass of old scrap Iron. The tender of the coal engine was shoved up against the boiler, and on the passen ger train the tender was telescoped into the smok ing car, smashing that car badly, but fortunately the one rrissenger car received no Injury but the breaking of the platform. In the smoking car were four persons, who were huddled together among the scats. John Miller, of Bethlehem, was found under the wreck and was conveyed to the residence of J. K. Messer; where surgie was obtained and it was aseertalun Is ankle joint was broken and dislocated, Mr. Chapman, of Chapmattsvlllo, bad his face badly cut. The fireman of the passenger engine, Eugene Ilyle, of Wilkesbarre, jumped off In time to save his life, but was very seriously Injured in-. Lethally, bruised about the head and face, lips cut and legs bruised. The engineer, John H. Warg, of Easton, was on the step of his engine, prepared to jump, ashen the engines struck, and be was knocked off. Ills hip was very badly bruised and he was injured about the head and face, ono of his limbs was,badly bruised. The fireman of the coal engine, Win. Hildebrand, jumped off and es caped without injury, but the engineer, Mr. Gor don, heroically stuck to his post using every emer lion to the last to avoid the terrible accident, and received some severe but not serious bruises. Two of the freight cars contained boards and another car was laden partl3 with:bark. These cars were telescoped and badly smashed and boards thrown around in every direction. The wreck was one of the most fearful In appearance that wehave seen for a long time and the accident la ono of the most serious that ever occurred lu this vicinity. Crowds of Allentonlans visited th e scene during the morning. The loss to the company In prop erty cannot be much less than $lO,OOO on the en gines alone, and the total loss' may reach $15,000 Independent of damages. The Superintendent of the Division was on the ground rendering every assistance, politely imparting information to the reporters and urging forward the work of•clearing c tracks. Who Is to blame for the accident, Is a very do eate question to decide. The flagman was sent out in ample time and was seen passing along the road at Mr. LiotTert's. Ho says ho flagged the passenger train, but the engineer and fireman both declare that they saw no signal. Whether the flagman took a nap, or whether the engineer and fireman were not sufficiently vigilant, Is a mystery, but the'Uencral opinion seems to be that they were running much too fast and very unguardedly, when they should have known that they were nearly up to the wreck. I fit was their fault the engineer and fireman arc now paying very dearly In suffering for their negligence. pro. E. G. Martin, Tilghman Martin, T. C. Yeager and Reichard were ou the spot promptly and rendered valuable service to the sufferers. 30.00 A connEsroxuENT of the New York Sun writes as follows from Phillipsburg, under date of the PAIL Inst. : Although this town Is noted for the sharpness and wide-awake spirit of its Inhab Rants; we have to admit that they have been "gobbled up" for once. On Friday, the 14th, we were visited by a gentleman who gave his name as Wilson, and said lie was canvassing agent for the Barncgat Wrecking Company• Ile offered oar citizens great inducement in Abe line of smug gled goods, such as pieces of sill:, pieces of broad cloth, and many other articles usually sold In dry goods stores, all for $2 each. Ills little game was this : Ile would take an order and collect a dollar On it, the other dollar to be paid on receipt of goods. Having, on his circular such names as C. Vanderbilt, and pretending to represent Mason & Co. of Newark, he persuaded many of our villagers to try their luck. Ile promised to deliver the goods on Saturday or Monday, and to cap the climax he• gave a valuable soap recipe. After taking about a hundred and fifty orders, he mysteriously disappeared, and of course has not been heard of since. The majority of the victims are women. Many of them informed their husbands on their return from work that they had purchased beautiful broadcloth suits for them.

MIES Tint BEADMO BAILitOAD.—A.Whip. correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph, speaking of the non-fulfliment of the proposed lease of the New Jerserrallroads and canale,hints at other gigantic purchases, annexations, leases, etc., In which the Reading Railroad Company will probably figure largely. lie says that the required number of votes to ratify the proposed lease of the New Jersey railroads and canals was not obtained within the time specified, the number lacking being two thousand shares. Some color seems to be lent to this statement by the fact that the New Jersey Central Railroad has ordered the Immediate building of docks and warehouses at its Jersey City terminus. This line is the New York end of the Reading Railroad connection via Allentown, Reading and Harrisburg, so that by this route the Pennsylvania Central will have a terminus on New York Bay for the foreign trade without the lease of the Camden and Amboy lines. The New Jersey Central Is also the lessee of the Lehigh and Susquehanna road to Wilkes ' barre. A connection is about to be opened by the Lehigh Valley Railroad via the Danville, Hazleton and Wilkesbarre railroad, Middle Creek railroad and other lines from New York bay straight through to the Broad Top and Cumberland alines. Should these things all be carried into effect, you may soon look for other gigantic purchases, an nexations, lenses, etc". It seems Impossible to avoid these movements. The Reading must go on. Its rivals will not allow it to stop. Consid ,, crable purchases of coal lands in the Schuylkill - regions have been made by the Lehigh Valley I- Railroad Company.

TILE MONTROSE NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY. —The problem of the expediency of narrow gauges to railroads is being practically solved In Pennsyl vania by the construction of a three feet gauge branch of the Pennsylvania and New York Rail road, by the Montrose Railroad Company,of which Mr. J. I. Blaludee is the President. The corps of engineers, of which Mr. Phills Ansart Is Chief and Mr. John Crain, Assistant, are rapiply complet ing the survey, and expect Lobo able to put it under contract by the Ist of September. The route be gins at Tunkimannock station, on the Pa. & N. Y. R. R., and will terminate for the present at the beautiful and busy town of Montrose, the shire town of Susquehanna county, the centre of a rich and productive agricultural region. Its length will be twenty-seven miles, and its maxlmnumn grade only eighty feet. Thu grading is very light and it is estimated will cost less than the super structure, which the Lehigh Valley Company have contracted to furnish, Within' their pay in the com mon stock of the company. The citizens of Mon trose and Tunkhannock, with the farmers along the line, have subscribed 8120,000 to the capital stock, and have given the right of way for nearly the whole distance. It Is estimated that the amount already subscribed is within $60,000 of enough to cover the entire cost. It Is proposed to raise this amount in stock, thus netting the exam ple of building a first-class road, and the first of the narrow gauges lu the State wholly from stock taken by the patrons and friends of the road, inde pendent of any aid from foreign capital. We think this must ensure a friendly feeling towards the company, 'almost every man along time line I having contributed either in funds or right of way, and being interested In Its prosperity when coin ! pleted. The stock already taken Is held by over 350 in dividuals, each having from two to sixty shares. This will undoubtedly be a largely paying road, and will do much toward demonstrating the prac ticability of a narrow gauge for passenger and freight traffic, and the comparative economy in construction and equipments over broad gauges.

EDITOR I—Oar city afready celebrated for having the finest school house in the State, will shortly be In full possession of another of those qulwarks of Intelligence of which every citizen may well feel proud. The Sixth Ward School House is now nearly finished. In size and gen eral appearance it resembles the Fifth Ward building. The plans 'of the new building were drawn by J. C. Sidney, Architect, of Philadelphia. The contract for putting up the building was given to W. C. Mackie, the well known builder, of Phil adelphia. The supervision of the work was en trusted by Mr. Mackie to Mr. Albert Reinhard, of Philadelphia, and to say that the task was faithfully performed Is but to say what is a sim ple truth. Work was commenced In August, 1870, and now Is, with the exception of painting and pointing, complete. We congratulate the cit izens of Allentown In general, and tha.Sixth Ward in particular, upon the new acquisition. All honor to the noble six whose whic•awakc, pro. gresslve spirit has caused a noble building to bo erected.
