(Continued from last week.)
Arrexpaxce.—Irregular attendance |
is certainly one of the greatest hinder- |
ances to success in teaching. We are |
still of the opinion that the teacher has |
much to do with the securing of good.)
attendance. Certain it is that the gen- |
eral surrounding- house - grounds-furni-
have their due influence, but |
ture &e.,
when the exercises of the school-room. |
are made as interesting as those out |
doors, good attendance is generally the |
result. ‘Our teachers, knowing this,
have generally co-operated with me in
trying to increase the regularity of at-
tendance. Ilor the encouragement of
pupils; we again adopted the plan, de-
seribied ih our last years’ report, and |
having teachers report monthly to the
County Sup’t., and pablishing a sum-
mary of thesein the county newspapers,
The suctess we have had in this is per-
haps one of the best il ustrations we
can give of the progress of our schools,
for gains in attendance oyer “good at:
tendance’’ are not easily made. © In
most districts the average of attendance
has largely increased. In three dis-
tricts only has it ‘decreased, namely :
Farmers Mills, Philipsburg and Unidh.
The districts having the best attend- |
ance for the year wéte. Howard and
Taylor, 87 per cent., Walker 89 per
cent., and ‘Milesburg 90 per cent. Of
single schosls the Milesburg' High
School again has the best ‘attendance
in the county—98 per gent., while the
Franklin Grammer School, in Walker,
had 96 per cent. The average. atten-
dance in the county for the year was
78 per ceut,, which is a gain ‘of 7 per
cent. over last: year, and 17 per cent.
on what it was three years ago.
The following statement will show
that for the last four years” there: has
beeh a steady increase :

The Scranton Register of Tuesday
evening ‘contiing the following par,

the Avondale mine, in Ltizerne coun-
ty, | accounts of which ‘have reached
the public through telégraphic dis-
patches:
When the news redched Seranton it

hearts of all, and as soon as possible,

| panied by about a dozen mwembers of
the company, Who were quickly gath-

fur the séend of ‘the terrible »eatastro-
(phy. Arriving there, the firemen did
| geod service in quenching the flames,
and pouring water down the shaft,
| This work occupied | between® three
Land four hours; and ‘was done under
| most tiying circumstances, as water
for the steamer was scarce and. had to
be pumped into a slough from another
mine - for the steame’ consumption,
| and ut fiveo'clock; when we arrived at
| the steamer was compelled to: stop for |
| want of water, though the immense
quantity poured in had effectually put
out the fire in the shaft, and: there
was then no farther need of a stream
down the opening.
So goon ds the stream diseontinued
down the shaft, | «preparations were
made for ‘a’ deseent ‘thereinand a, der-
rick was soon rigged up, to. which a
horsé-poweér ‘at the top, with sufficient
rope, was mde ready, and at the hour
of six ‘o'clock w dog was lowered into
shaft, and’amid al most breathless sns-
pense for the space: of five. minutes.
when word wos gitentd haul up, and
the dog was gobw at the top, and alive,
which was an indication that a man
could be let down and live at the
bottom,
Simultaneously winh the arrival of

given ‘out that the men had
hallowed up the shaft, and said that
This created the most intense excite:

gratitude, ‘with praise to Almighty

But this ray of hope was soon: after

and wailing ensued, ‘which’ was most
heart-rending to witness,
“Volunteers: to. doscend the shaft
were til ed for; and fron 0 many manly

"To his honor be it said, Mr. Charles

forward, was 'seon‘in reddinsess, and at:

commenced, an when the men: em-
erged from the mouth of the shaft they
reported that they went seventy or | fri

thiee dead mules as they progressed,
They finally came to a closed door,
upon, which they pounded, and wating
breathlestly for an answering sound
from the unfortunate men.Bat none
came, and they felt compelled to ‘ve:

would overpower ther in their partial

red another gang-wav runing ‘in an-
other direction, into which the fresh air
appeared to be rushing. Joues de
sired to enter this, but Evans refused,
and the former thought it not safe to
Two more men were “thew let «down
the shaft (David Davis, of Hyde Park;
and James Jones, of Union mine) and
they were seen from the top to get out
of the tup into the bottom of the mine,
and a sighal to hoist was given.
The tab was then hoisted
top empty, and twa more men, whose
names we were unable to learn, went
down, and on arriving at the bottom,
discovered that the two men who had
preceded them were lying insensible
at the bottom, and one of the
lutter remained at the bottom while
the other got one of one of the insen-
sible men iuthe tub and was hoisted
to the top.
The insensible man was now put un-
der the treatment of a surgeon at hand
and in afew momsnts was brought to
life.
The two men remaining in the shaft, |
however, were not brought ont until
one o'clock a. m., when both were
found to be quite dead. .
The excitement at this time was un-
bounded, and the misery manifested
by the large number of relatives and
friends present was of the most heart:
rending description.
No more attempts ®ere now made to
descend the shaft, and a hand fan was
set to work forcing the pure aie in
and the impure out of the shaft.
Meanwhile, Mr, Storrs dispatched a
special train for Scranton to procure a
large fan, which was set going by
steam power, at ‘half-past ten o'clock
this forenoon, and at this writing (12
o'clock noon) the fan is still working.
This fan consists of a large and loug
canvas bag, which is run down by
heavy weights to the bottom of the
shaft, through which the pure air is
forced, and the impure air is driven
out. i
The only hope for the lives of the
two hundred human beings imprisoned
{ in the mine is the fact that about mid-
{vay in the mine, which extends back
about one mile and a half, two iron
doors are placed,. and if fey Hive
closed those doors, and had sufficient
air to sustain life, all may yet.be well ;
but ewen thisis al most hoping against
hope.

* Mercantile Law.
The Supreme Court of Pennsy lvavia
has recently made a decision of great
importance to merchants and hankers.
In what light a person who endorses a
promisory note before the payee is to
» regarded has long been a vexed
question. In some cases he is regard-
ed as a joint and several promissor
with the maker, in other cases us a
guarantor to the payee or any supse-
quently lawful holder, in others asa
second endorser, the pyace having a
right to restrict its own prior endor-
sement by the ‘words “withiont re-
course,” in others still as asecond en-
dorser merely under an implied ei
gagement to the payee to assume the
position and all the responsibilities of
a first endorser. In a large majority
of cases, however he is treated as an
original promissor or a guarantor, ac-
cording as the evidence may show the
original contract Between the parties
to have been.
The law being in this state of uncer-
tainty, the Legislature of Pennsyivs-
pia, on Apr. 5th 185) passed aun act
going into effect on Jaw. lst, 1608
which, following the English statutes
of Frauds and Perjuries, provided
that no action shall be brought
“whereby to charge the defendant up-
on any special promise to answer for
the agreement upon which such action
or 'sumé memor-
andum or note thereof, shall be in
writing and signed by the party to be
charged therewith, or some otljer per-
son'by him authorized.” In a suit
brought after this act went into effect,
it washeld that a person who en-
dorses a promisory note before the
payee is within the-provisions of the
statue, and that his re is not the
necessary note in writin to charge hi
with the debt of avother but only im-
ports an endorsement of commercial
paper and makes him liable as an en-
dorser only to subsequlut ‘and ‘notte
prior holders. The principles, inyol-
ved in the above case were recently
re-argued before the entire Bench aud
were unanimously reaffirmed by the
Court.—~{ Philadelphia a Lodger.
