L. A. Freeman, whoso term will oxpiro in June, next, and who intends giving up school work for the present. Tho absent member, of tho board was F. J. Brennan, who is filling the vacancy occasioned some weeks ago by tho resignation of Mr. Williams. After calling tho board to order President Conry said tliHt he was sorry Mr. Freeman had made up his mind to leave and beforo proceeding farther it was his wish to know if auy inducement could be held out to the retiring supui intendent. Mr. Freeman had always been found the right man In the light place and "I will go as far as any member of this bonid to increase the salary, rather than lose him," concluded Mr. Conry. Mr. Freeman arose and said he was wholly unprepared to make a response. Ho could hardly help realizing the sentiment cuter tained toward him, but the picsident'g ex pression of them at that meeting took him quite unawares. "You can hardly imagine the roluctance with which I contemplate leaving you," said Mr. Freeman, "my rela tions with the School Hoard and all coir ncctod with thoschoolshavoboeiioxc'odingly pleasant, especially so during the last year and I havo not had tho slightest chanco to complain. I assure yon my determination to leave Is not from any feeling that there has been a lack of appreciation of my work and when I leave there will always be a green spot in my memory when I look back over my connection with this district. . I thank-' you very much; indeed,- for th siou of appreciation ami 1 want to gayll not ft matter of salary or mouoy that induces me to go.'' Mr. Conry Ts there any inducement wo can otTer you In the way of salury ? Wo don't want to part with you. Mr. Freeman I suppose thoro could be an amount of money otl'ered mo sufficient to keep me here, hut it wouldn't be u reasonable sum and what you could afford to pay, or would feel like paying, or what I would ad vise paying. The subject was dropped and Mr. Muldoou moved that tho salary and torm of the superintendent remain as previously $l,b00 per year for three years. Appll rat inns for tlie position and credentials were then read. There wero four applicants, W. J. Shearers, York, I'a. ; J. W. Sweeny, St. Mary's, Pa.; William N. Ehrhart and M. P. Whitaker, Shcuaniloah. A bullot was taken on only tho last two applicants. In behalf of Mr. Whitakor a professional certificate granted in 1873 and a permanent certificate granted in 187(1 were road. There was also a commuuioatiou from Mr. Whitaker setting forth that tho ccrtilloatos did not set foith his actual qualifications; that he took a course of nearly two sessions in the Millersvlllo State Normal school and passed all the studies with ono exception ; that ho taught school for oloven years beforo teaching in Shonandoah and served four years as district superintendent In Mahanoy township. In behalf of Mr, Ehrhart thoro wero pre sented a teachers' certificate for tho elemen tary branches granted at tho Blooms burg State Normal School in 1878, a certifi cate for tho scientific course granted at the Millersvillo State Normal School in 1884, and a second diploma for tho same courso at tho same school. Mr. Gallagher nominated Mr. Whitaker and Mr. Muldoou seconded tho nomiuatlou. The nomiuatlou of Mr. Ehrhart by Mr. Ogden was seconded by Mr. Treziso. Mr. Beddall arose and said the board ought to be very careful in electing a superintend ent, lie said Uicre uro a number of pupils and teachers who stand at a pretty high grade and many of tho tcachors hold certificates of a very high grade. Referring to Mr, Whitaker Mr, Beddall said that personally there was no objection to him j ho is a good citizen and an upright man ; but on tho other hand his cortlflcato was obtained something over 12, 13, 14 or IB years ago and nothing has been added to the list of branches 'reference to Mfos Twoedle and Miss Ilartnet ? Mers. Davenport and Hanna protested that sllch a lino of argument should not be purluod, that It would only lead to ill feeling In the board, Meanwhile Mr. Iltddall answered that he did not know that thoro wits.

After the result was announced Mr. Bed dall arose and said, "It is only fair that wo should notify you that wo feci obliged to place this matter in tho hands of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and aik to havo an investigation as to Mr. Whilaker's qualifications, and at tho same time ask that his commission lie withheld until that is decided.

Tho surroundings are equally Interesting. Two miles below the Falls the channel of the river turns abruptly at a right angle, and throws th waters Into terrific commotion, known as the Whirlpool. Beetling cliffs, 350 feet high, confine tho howling flood within their nar row limits, giving an outlet only twenty-fne rods across to the torrent, which rises and pitches to a height of from ten to forty feet, Tho depth of tho mrrow channel at the Whirlpool Is estimated at forty feet. l(o tween tho Falls and the Whirlpool the waters rush through the narrow, rocky channel at a terrifio rate. No boat can live in the stream, though a few fool hardy lieraons have made the trip to the Whirlpool In caBks. The little steamor "Maid ot the Mist" plies about a comparatively quiet spaco just below tho Falls, but her ptwsengers are furnished with wateiproof garments, ami must expect a wet trip. A visit to the Falls W'e yew ago involved so many bunleu sonio, incidental expanses that mny people felt they conld not aff.ad. It. But since tho United States government has taken charge of tho property adjoiniug on the American side, the small fees asked at different points of interest, considering the convnnience and protection afforded, are just and i oosonahle.

The street wiug work Is progressing at A snail's pace and threatens to lieoome an all summer iiflhlr. This is not due to slownwm on tho part of tho contractors, hut to stop pages of the work on account of a differeuoo of opinion between the contractors nnd property owners u to the kind of founda tion the paving should have, and also to a dissatisfaction about the grade of the street.

It is a rare thing: for a customer to buy a pound of raisins, evaporated peaches, prunes, 6r dates, with out first testing their quality. Some ate sat isfied with a single sample, bat the majority generally sample to anywhere from two or three to a handful. Children who aoooiu pany their patents while doing grocery shopping are much disposed to that kind of pilfering, the grocer being afraid to object for fear of offending the customer. It is all wrong. It is an imposition, which in the aggregate amounts to move than; the dealt should he called upoa to contribute." J Obi.

Tho Herald was in error when It stated a few days ago that ten per cent, of the stock was held by parties outside tho oompany. The amount is less and what is held by outsiders was secured under the old regime, when it was pressed for funds. Since that a few parties have secured a few shares by paying a nice premium, but the stock has never been put on the market.
