We have received a numlicr of pro tests from Reynohlsvlllo against some mutter written by our Reynohlsvlllo correspondent relative to the public schools in thut town. So far as the Spirit Is concerned It has no personal knowledge of the merits of the case, and no acquaintance with tho principal of the schools, who has been vindicated by a re-cleetlon with an Increase of salary. It Is the policy of this paper to refrain from criticising anybody except ing for the public good and to admit nothing to lis columns that is not proor for public Information. Wo assume that our correspondent, had no other motive than what be conceived to lie the good of the schools III his criticisms, but since his judgment basts-en over ruled by the school board, and tho teacher complained of re-employed at an Increased salary, wo are bound to conclude that our correspondent's position on the question, however sincere, hit -J not been sustained, and that it Is now tho duty of evcryliody In that community toco-operalo with the school board and tho principal to make the schools a success. Although wo have the fullest confidence in the Intelligence and discernment of our talented corres pondent nt Reynoldsville, wo nro frnnk to say that, had we been nt home when the last comuiiinleutiun was received relative to this matter we would not have admitted It to our columns. We trust now that all good citizens of Heynoldsvllle will unite to make tho next term of school a brilliant success. Piinxsiilawney Spirit. Cooper a Oood Choice. Mr. Ninian Cooper, of this borough, who has Ih'cii a faithful worker In tho Demi sunt ie party, and advocated its doctrine for many years, is now an nounced as candiduto for the small, but Important, office of jury commissioner. The Democrats cannot do better than to nomlnuto Mr. Cooper at the primary election next Saturday, July 3rd, Mr. Cooper was tax collector for Reynolds villo ten years and discharged his duties creditably, and we feel positive ho would tie a good selection for tho Demo crats to make for jury commissioner, besides, If long, faithful services to a party counts for anything, be is entitled to the nomination, and doubtless will get It. Tho Hrockwayvllle llrmrd, In speak ing of Mr. Cooper's candidacy, says: "Mr. Cooper is not only a capable man for the position, but he Is hold in such high esteem by his Reynoldsville neighbors that be was chosen tax collector for that borough without opposition. In fact he being a Demo crat was nominated by the Republican caucas. He was a former citizen of Heech woods, and Is a man of sterling worth and Integrity In every respect and would fill any county office credit ably and faithfully." Sixty-Third Anniversary.

There Is little doubt but that there were two professional crooks In Reyn oldsville on Tuesday night of last week, and their business hero was to rob tho postoflloo or some business house. About eleven o'clock that night Night watchman Adolspergcr saw two men turn the corner at the Seeley, Alexander & Co. bank and go down Fifth street and suddenly disappear. About ono o'clock two well dressed men went Into the restaurant next to postofflce and called for a cup of coffee, the restaurant was open later than usual becauso there was a dance In one of tho halls. The men asked the proprietor how long he would koep open, and as he was suspicious of the chaps, Informed them that he would keop oiien all night. When thoy left the restaurant and started down street Adelspergor got on their track and they walked down towards the bridge and stutioned themselves at a dark corner. Adolspergcr quietly waited for them to move on, but It is evident that they knew he was watching them and they did not move. Adelspergor would have arrested them as suspicious characters If he could have had assistance, but as It was he went up to thorn and told them they would have to get off the street. They knew Mr. Adlesperger and called blm Frank as familiurly as If thoy had known him for years. The two men, knowing their game was up, went to Hotel Belnap, registered and went to bed. Early in the morning they skip ped out. lir. Moorhead Convicted. Dr. R. C.
