are other evidences of guilt, no
doubt, but in the osscnnion of those
who have no right to disclose them
at this time. If he is innocent it U
hoped for his sake and tho sake of
of his many relatives, who are re
spected, that ho may be able to show
it ; if guilty let him suffer the pen
alty attached to his high crime.
Give him a speedy trial, and w
vouch for it that the care and im
partiality with w hich he w ill be tried
will wholly preclude the possibility
of appeal tho long length of niur
der cases (Supreme Courts, Courts of
Appeal and Pardon Boards) have
disgusted law-abiding citizens and
invited murder. The arrest gave

have applied for a writ of habeas

turnable at 11 o'clock A. M.. to

Up to tho time of going to press
nothing new has developed in the
case with the exception of tho state
ment of Miss Lizzie Bonn, who is
positive she saw Martin Deitrich at
the Ferry House dance at or near
9:30 o'clock on the evening of the
murder. If this is authentic all cir
cumstances and suspicions must full
flat. We fondly hope the young
man is innocent, and that if he is.
he will be able to speedily establish
the same.

There is a great deal of truth in
the maxium. As tho teacher, so the
school. No factor in school is so
important as tho teacher. Good
housos, comfortable furniture, mod
ern apparatus are all very necessary
but no device, apparatus no aux
iliary can take tho place of the live,
euorgutir, bkillful teacher. The
tuot-'irj-in n great measure must
supplement tho director's work.
Whore there are not suflicient tools
with which to work the earnest toa
clu ir will always find a way to get
them, if ho himself has to manufac
ture them. Tho teachers are select
ed for the term that has just begun.
We will be disappointed if tin-re
be no progress. Nelson, the great
naval commander, on the ee of an
engagement which affected tho his
tory of the world said : "Every man
is expected to do his duty." We are
waging war against ignorance, su
perstition, and crime. The contest
is a stubborn one, livery inch ol
ground is most obstinately disputed.
Every teacher to bo true to himself
and to his trust is expected to come
out more than victor. We are not
drawing a fanciful picture Enthu
siasm has been an important element
in all revolutions. No great victory
was ever won without it. Tho vic
tories of Napoleon, tho fanaticism
of Cromwell, tho resolute courage
of Luther are only grout historical
evidences of w hat intensity of feeling
can accomplish. Tho teacher in tho
littlo waysido school house may bo
the means of doing the world just as
much good as the most renowned
warrior, statesman, or reformer.
We have reasons to believe that our
teachers are better equipped for the
work than over before. Tho stand.
aid of gauging teachers is gradually
raised. Tho Superintendent ouirht
to be sustained in all efforts to pro
moto the welfare of the schools.

Mr. Jacob Feeso died at his resi
dence iu Boavertown, Pa., on the
5th inst., aged Til years, s months
and 27 days.
Mr. Fees' w us among tho oldest
and must respected citizens of this
community. In his earlier years ho
was engaged in farming, and by his
industry and frugality hud accumu
lated sufficient means to render him
comfortable in old ago. For a num
ber of years ho lived a retired life
and with his devoted wife, who still
survives him, enjoyed the fruits of
their united labors. The cause of
his death was general debility. Ho
suffered much the hist few months
of his life, w hich he bore w ith meek
ness and patience. He was a life
long member of the Ev. Lutheran
church, and for years has boon
known as a good and consistent
christian. Ho passed away with a
strong faith iu Christ as his Saviour.
He leaves a widow and a largo fam
ily of children to mourn his loss.
Peace to his ashes. Tho Lord com

them a happy reunion ut his right
hand. yi
