INSTITUTE
Uouutv Superintendent C. W. Derr
Tuesday for the lirst took up the
work of visiting the schools of the
county The rural schools are now all
in fall -wing and are doing good work.
Condition* in the country «1 istrit*t>
differ somewhat from in town unci in
sfiad of i rowded schools tin l attend
ant- just now is found to be nothing
to boast of.it will not 1»«- until Octo
ber or November that the full number
nt pupils will he enrolled iu the rural
M liools Meanwhile owing to the
heavy crops and scarcity of farm help
the hoy- and giris w ill be needed to as
-i-t with fall work on many id' the
(arms.
County Superintendent U. NV. Derr
Ttiexla> stated that he. has perfected
uo plans for the county institute be
yond the fact that it will be held on
the same date as la>t year. He will
<infer with l'.orougli Sn|>erinteiident
<;.ird> with the view ol arranging a
program that will he heiietieial alike
to the town and the country teachers.
The fact seems evident that the even
■ tig entertainments of the county in
stitute. a- In- heell the
»»-nr= prist, w ill not lie a very
prominent feature. The county super
-1 nt< ndctit has not hooked a single at
tra« lion as yet. It does not seem un
likely, however, that one evening of
tin week may lieoecupitHl with an en
tertainment of a [high order, the en
tire proceeds of which shall he apulied
to a memorial to Thaddcus Stevens,
th> great champion of the free schools
This memorial, it i- planned,will take
the form of an industrial school fir
home, erected at Lancaster, where in
digent orphan boys can he taught some
u-eful trade. Montour is one of the
few counties of the State that has as
yet contilhiitint nothing toward the
gramt memorial.
Big Barn Burned.
Evidently tli<- work of an incendi
ary. who was discoverwl and shot at
a- lit- fled into lite darkness, the barn
of ltus-ell Kartis in Benton township,
(Vilumhia county. near the Mi-Henry
distillery was burned to the ground
ju-t before midnight Momlay night.
The farm was tenanted hy Chester
Campbell and his son.
A lex. Camptiell was returning home
at II '.o o'clock. As he approached the
barn lie heard the suappingand crack
ing sound of fire coining from the
building When not more than twen
ty-five 112. et away the door was flung
opeu and a man who could not here
. oginied in the dark rushed from the
building and fled across the field.
Vonng Campbell cairied a revolver
which he proin)itly pulletl and fired af
ter the fleeing figure, hut the shots
either went wild, or the calibre was
too small to bring the man to a stop.
Almost instantaneously with this
-traug< occurrence, the roof of the
building hurst out m a mass of flames
which soon enveloped the entire struc
ture.
Tie entire neighborhood was quick
ly tiu the st-eue, ami two horses and
two cow- were saved from destruction.
The liam was.l large one and was till
ed with hay and grain all of which
made but fuel for tin- flames, and tin;
entire structure with all contents in
cluding a alf.was 111 lesa than a hour
a mass of runts.
Ju-t who the fterson was who was
been running from the harti is not
known, but he undoubtedly was con
net ted w .tli the fire. Whether the man
intent ionall> i>r accidentally fired the
building, however, is 11 question On
numerous occasion- 111 the past, grain
had been stolen from the building;
and it may have been that the maraud
er w t- after another haul when he ac
cidentally drop|«ed a light which start
ed a blaze in the hay
Challenges County.
The record for farm work in this
-action "t the State is without doubt
held by David llowe,who is employed
on the farm ot Joseph Patterson, in
Mt Pb asanf tow nship,Columbia coun
ty.
Monday morning he cut and set up
- of corn ;and in the
aft* rnoou he cradled two acres of buck
wheat; and all this wa- done in a
working day of ten hours. In the even
ing he was not at all unduly fatigued,
aiid i\ he could have kept up flit
work it the -ami- rate for several
hours longer It must IM- remembered
too that tlii- was done in spite of the
fat t that Monday was an unusually
warm ami humid day.
Mr Howe offers a challenge lor any
one to surpass or equal his record
made Monday.

Last year seven veterans were buried
in Montour county under the above
act: hence it will he seen that the
position for which the appointments
are made is an important one and calls
for men who will carefully attend to
their duties. In making their selec

governed largely by advice from Good

they appealed before making the ap

Threaten to Blow l'p Trolley.
The sitnatiou over the failure of the
Shatnokin-Mt. Carmel Transit com
pany, through a strike, to resume op
erations is becoming desperate at Cen
tralia, and the residents threaten to
blow np the entire track and not al
low the company to again put a track
on the borough streets unless cars are
soon running.
The Centralia borough council held
a special meeting last evening and
took action on the matter.
The council has been at loggerheads
with Smith, manager of the road, for
some time, and will take advantage iji
, tLr. IIIWMII- yimnfton to make him live
up to the agreement made when the
franchise was first granted the com
pany or get out. The council will send
a communication to Smith, telling him
to ojierate his cars in the borough at
once. In the event of his failure he
will be told to take up his tracks.
A great many residents of Centralia
work in other places and have hereto
fore been entirely dependent on the
trolley line togo to and from work.
The community as a whole is highly
incensed over the 'ailnre of the com
pany to operate cars ; they say man
ager Smith has always conducted
things with a high band in the past ;
and they now threaten to blow up the
entire track from Conyngbam town
ship into the borough unless the cars
are very soon placet! in operation.
YOUNG PEOPLE ENJOY IT.
The young people of Centralia are
getting bunches of real fun out of the
trolley strike situation. Many young
men and maidens from the town on
the hill work in Mt. Carmel. There is
no early train to bring them down and
they must walk to work. Some of them
get off in the afternoon in time to get
home on the -t :;{0 Lehigh train, hut
they must walk back home at night.
It is as good for the physical makeup
as a vacation in tho country! The
young folks will develop muscles, and
promote health,and help the shoemak
er on his way to wealth.
Balustrade I icing Installed.
The fiont of the courthouse took on
an additional attraction yesterday
when t he handsome balustrade of metal
was installed above the artistic, stone
work enclosing and forming the three
doorways of the building. The wood
en paraiiet, which did service from
t-I.e time the courthouse was built,
was torn down a couple of weeks ago.
The balustrade is very ornamental
and is manufactured of galvanized
iron and zinc,materials which are be
ing used very extensively not only for
that purpose but also for window
frame, window sash and the like. The
balustrade was manufactured by John
E. Polil, of Lancaster, and had to be
made expiesslv for the courthouse
from plans made here and forwarded
to the factors It was installed yester
day afternoon under the sii|>ervisioii
of John J. Keilly, a representative of
the factory.
Before the balustrade was erected
the top of the stone work was covered
with sheet lead, so as to preserve the
exposed surface and especially the
joints from the action of the weather.
Altogether the job when completed
will be a most thorough one.
Large plate glass nearly the height
of the doors will be inserted at. the
middle entrance which will still fur
ther add to the attractiveness of the
front. The huge panels have already
been cut out of the middle doors and
every thing is ready to insert the plate
glass as soon as it arrives.

BULLETINS FOR SPECIMENS.
Professor Surface state- that those
people wishing bulletins can ecurc
them by sending to him some li\>
specimen of snake, worm or bug I best
specimen-are studied, drawing- an
made of them, and in some easi - col
ored plates are prepared Many pub
lie schools all over Pennsylvania have
written to Professor Surtaci asking
for zoological specimens It the.-,
schools will send livespccinn ns to the
State department of agriculture they
will receive in leturn these same
specimens iiiounte.il and labeled , ry
possibly, too, they may receive addi
tional ones. It is no difficult matter
for school hoys oi school girl- to col
lect a large number of bugs or insects
After the State department ha- studi- I
these and made drawings of them it is
quite ready to return the specimens in
such shape that they will last lor
years; they will be labeled so that the
pupils can study them intelligently.
MUSEUM IN NEW CAPITOL.
The department of agriculture has
quite a large museum on the fifth tloor
of the new capitol Any person wish
ing excitement can lind plenty ot it
there. At least a dozen largi nakes
arrive daily; there are live rattlesiiakes
and copperheads,as well .t- live adders
and others less venomous Two small
boxes contain rattlesnakt - five 1• ■ t
long; in one are yellow rattlers, in
the other, black rattlers Their rattles
sound a vigorous alarm wl eiicver the
box is touched roughly.
Professor Surface state-that th. rat
tlesnakesaud the copperheads ar. th
only really venomous snake- in the
State. Many other snakes arc really
harmless, and in many cases 111■ • \ a t
ually do beneficial work.
II \TCHING SNAKES
Kven n dozen snakes a da) not a
large enough supply to suit tie de
partinent, mi it has started a snake in
cubator. Scores ol snake egg- are
hatching out. Saturday morning a
black snake was partially hatched, its
head projected only an inch from tin
shell, but it showed sign- ol vigorous
life, darting its tongue out and biting
the lingers of Professor Surfai > . This
snake even at maturity i- not venom

spotted; as they grow older they h.
Come perfectly black A hlaek snaki

A number of house ,-nake- w n- in
the incubator also: these snake- kill
rats and mice and keep l inn houses
free from vermin. They are <|uill
harmless.
SNAKES PLAYED P<>SSI'M.
Some very vicious looking snake
called spreading adders, were pro
liounced harmless. They are usually
regarded as most dangerous. The at
tendants handled several likeh speci
mens without gloves ;the tongues dart
ed out simulating the action ot the
really deadly serpents; hut although
the reptiles were tossed up in tie air,
and were handled aftei tin manner of
footballs, no one was injured in tin
least. One of the snakes finally grew
tired of being maltreated and stiinui
ated death, turning over oil its hack,
lying motionless. It lay with its
mouth open and its head flattened as
if crushed : no amount of rough treat
ment sufficed to make it move unless
it were turned over. Then it wh.rlcd
onto its back instantly evidently rea
soning that a snake could not lie dead
except in that position.
HICKORY HORN DEVIL SECURED
In another portion of the museum
are 800 larvae cages. Probably a more
repulsive set of worms was never col
lected. The department studies all ot
those, learning particularly on what
tliev feed and what parasites feed up
on them. Some of the most repellant
ones are really not injurious Saturday
morning a large green larva arrived at
the department sent by .1 R. Gilmore,
of Chamliersburg. The specinn u is
known as the hickory horn devil. The
larva is an enormous green worn s, veil
inches long and covered with horns

The work of the department along
this line ot investigation is much more
enormous than is generally realized
The main object is to benefit the farm
er ; to teach him who his friends are.
Almost daily the department receives
specimens of the " thcssala. ' a wing
ed insect with a three-forked tail
which is at least four inches long Tin
writers say that this insect i- doing
harm to their trees and that they kill
it whenever possible As a matter ol

THE MAHONING
; TOWN CLOCK |
The town clock on the Mahoning
j Presbyterian church on Saturday af
ternoon proclaimed the correct time
for approxiniately two hours and a
half. This nan unusual record for
the Mahoning time piece, which for a
long time |iast has been giving us any
old time.
Were the clock to take a notion to
strike once more it would prove an
unfamiliar sound. Edward Lunger,
who has tlio winding and regulating
of the Mahoning town clock in charge
is authority for the statement that the
clock has not struck for two years.
Indeed, the old clock is derelict in so
many ways that it isa'inestion wheth
er, instead of proving a convenience, it
i- not something directly the oppo-ite
Any person who regulates his mov<
incuts by the town clock and starts out
to make a train is apt either to mi
it altogether or to have a long wait.
It would bo interesting to know how
many persons the clock has deceived ;
how many appointments have not boon
kept through its instrumentality.
Viewed thus all will agree that a
clock that does not keep correct time
is worse than none at all. .fust now
the town clock has a penchant forgo
ing fast and seems to he struggling to
break its own record.
What the old clock needs is a gener
al overhauling. It has done son ice for
some fifty years, it is true, but il has
by no moans outlived its usefulness.
It was overhauled seven years ago by
1 lonry Kempo, who repaired the escape
ment and inserted new bushing at one
of the wheels. Since that time noth
ing has been done to the clock. Why
it has not been thought necessary to
put any repairs on the clock during
this long interval it would bo hard to
tell.
The iow n clock was iiiiiuuiactured
at Norristown by Jacob 1). Cusier. It
is ;i first class piece of mechanism and
if properly repaired and taken care of
will no doubt give the best of service
for many years to come. If is hoped
that some one will take the initiative
and agitate the matter a little. The
tow n clock should be putin order.
