—Tbe Philadelphia Times Almanac for
1894 was received at this office last week
and is indeed a welcome guest. It is a

—Tbe Connoquenessing Vigilance Asso

Butler County Schools.
(County Snpd't McCollough's report for the
School ypar ending June 5, 1993, to the
State Snpd't.)
In the last year's report of this term, we
think nre safe in saving that our schools
hare made unusually rapid progress. A
desire to gee our schools improve and pros
per. is manifested by all interested in the
welfare ot onr boys and girls. Better
wages are being paid, and the school term
has been increased in many ot the dis
tricts. The teachers are becoming better
qualified to teach. A great number during
the spring and summer months were in at
tendance at some of the higher institutions
ot learning. We are becoming more con
vinced every year that teachers, as well *s
followers of all other professions, should
enter upon their work only when they
have completed fome prescribed course,
which should give them that thorough
knowledge, training and discipline that
will fit and qualify them lor their life's
work.
Our county institute was a success. The
attendance was excedingly large, the
directors and patrons as well as teachers,
mamfiesting an interest in its proceed
ings.
The districts as organized several years
belore, each held one or more meetings
during the term. The attendance this
year at these local institutes was consider
ably larger than ever before. The teachers
were assisted at these meetings by Pro
fe«sors Murphy, McClyinonds, Rickets,
Magee. Wilson, Knock, Gilbert and Dr.
Maltby.
Petersville, a new school district com
posed of a part of Connoquenessing town
ship and a part of Forward t iwusnip, was
organized.
Thirteen new buildings were erected
duritig the last year. Adam*, three; Alle
gheny, one; Cherry, one; Clay, one; Frank
lin (Ind.;, one; Jackson, one; Mercer, one;
Parker, one; Penn, one, and Prospect,
one.
Prospect erected a fine commodious two
story brick building, equipped with mod
ern improvements at a cost of $5,000.
Webster's International Dictionary was
placed in about half tbe school districts of
the county. Yaggy's geographical charts
were also purchased by a number of dis
tricts.
With tbe exceptions of two, all the
schools in the county were visited. Three
hundred and five visits in all were made.
Tbe work of classification and grading ibe
schools was continued. Pupils who were
found to be taking but part of the work
were classified in those branches, which
it was deemed necessary for them to pur
sne.
Two hundred pupils were examined by
committees of teuChers appointed by the
superintendent. One hundred and thirty
received diplomas.
Five hundred and twenty-five applicants
for teachers' certificates were examined.
Three hundred and twenty seven received
certificates and one hundred and ninety
eight were rejected.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES
An agent of the Humane Society visited
the farm of Jas Buckley, in the Kiskimin
i etas valley lately and fuund the stock on
1 the place dead and dying from hunger.
Buckley is 7o years of age. lives alone, and
claims that he is so crippled by rheuma
tism that he could not get out to feed his
stock.
k very clever way of turning a "dollar'
was discovered in Oakland, a Pittsburg
suburb. The scheme is a new one and we
caution our readers against it. The com
bination consists of a man and a flat-iron,
though innocent looking in itself, is a ver
itable fraud. It contains a small charcoal
furnace, which, the man alleges, dispenses
with a hre in the kitchen stove. The pur
chase would pay so tLueh down, but when
they would give the iron a trial it alwa>s
tailed to work The agent, when he called
a. ain for the balance <*ue on the iron would
make an excuse tor it and say ho would
have it repaired, taking it away with him
And that is the last that would be see., of
the flat-iron man. The same irons would
iwrve to do duty in the swindling game
elsewhere, and so on ad iofiuitum.
The candidates for Judge in Indiana
county are Judge Harry White, Samuel
Cunningham, Esq., J. S Telford, Esq., and
John Banks. Esq. They are all hustlers
and there will be mnric in the air before
the campaign is over. Indeed, even
now. il you put your ear to the ground you

RUPTURE
Cannot always be cured, but a
j properly fitting Truss will do
| more toward curing you than any
thing else. A small rupture is
more dangerous than a lage one
' but is more readily held in place.
i Quite a number of persons who
I have been fitted by us have been
entirely cured, but this is not al
ways the case. The sooner we
have them visit us after finding
they are ruptured the more hope
of a complete cure. We make a
specialty of Trusses for both
ladies and gentlemen, and give di
rections for private measurement
for the former. Al! cases consid
ered strictly private. Buying
Trusses by mail from some person
who says he can cure you is on a
paralell with the number of cures
there are for consumption. If you
have had trouble in being fitted
elesewhere let us try what we can
do lor you.
