The provisions of the compulsory school law require the assesors to make a list of all tho school children between the ages of 8 and 13 years.

Many people thiuk a newspaper should have about a page of local news whether anything happens or not. Local editors cannot make people break their necks, commit suicide or any other exciting thing that goes to make up the material out of which the local editor makes paragraphs. Ex It is remarkable how few people remember a text 24 hours after the sermon is preached. A test case was made in a nearby town and out of 23 or AO persons only one could find the text after a lapse of seven hours. We believe that this experi ment could be verifiod m many oth er instances. Sunbury Nail Mill Company sold its ulaut last Friday to Philadelphia, Pottstown and Harrisburg capital ists for !jfl2,0H. The plant cousists of eight furuaceH, lolling mill aud uail factory. It was shut down by a nailer's striko in April, 1H1H, and has been idle sinee that time. Three hundred men and boys will bo em ployed. Whenever you hour u man finding fault with a local paper, opeu it up and ten to one ho hasn't an ad vertisement in it; live to one he never gave it a job of work to do; three to one he does not take the paper; two to one that if ho is u sub scriber he is u delinquent; even odds that he never does anything in any way that will assist the publisher to run a better papaer.
