« A bill presented by C. S. Gay,
ex justice of the peace, for g5 16

Towanda in the Thompson -Haaze

of the directors were of the opinion
that it was not the duty of the
board to settle this bill, but the
majotity of the directors thought
otherwise, and Mr. Gay will get his
money for which he has waited a
long time

INTERESTING HEIRLOOM |
At the regular monthly meeting |
of the teachers of the Presbyterian |
Sunday school last evening, Mr. I. |
A. Samuels exhibited an ancient!
copy of the “Torah,” which com |
prises the first five books of the |
Festament and is known as the |
Law. The work is beautifully done!
on parchment, copied by hand, and |
is a very precious heirloom, having |
been in the Samuels family for |
more than 250 years
Mr. Samuels gave a very inter. |
esting talk on the manuscript,
speaking of the reverence in which |
the “Law” is held, the care which!
1s taken of such copies, and the
unusual safeguards put about it to
preserve it from error. He also
described the use of the “Torah"
in the Synagogue service.
It is doubtful if there is a more
interesting heirloom in the town
than that in possession of Mr,
Samuels,
