Institute's New Instructor. From the Lansford Leader. Mrs. Coxe applied to Lehigh univer sity for an instructor for the Mining and Mechanical Institute at Freeland, and the authorities have given her the services of C. M. Crawford, our former assistant principal. The itandard of the institute is to be raised and prepare students for Lehigh. The services of Prof. Crawford would not be given to the institute for an indefinite time, as Lfhigh would not let him go. We still have a recolleotion of a few men in this town who thought that Prof. Crawford did not fill the bill here, but he was so good that Lansford could not keep him. It would pay the Lansford board to get another man like Crawford and pay him a good salary, for he was and is an excellent instructor and his recognition as such by people who are In a position to know his merit is pleas ing to his friends hero and they are n u morons. Last Night a Failure. The Sawtello Company closed Its week's engagement at the Grand opera house on Saturday evening, and this morning the inembors departed for lla/.leton. The company is one of the best repertorie organizations that has played in town and all tho performances were pleasing to the patrons of tho house, except that of Saturday night. On tho latter evening tho Grand was packed from bottom to top to see "Ton Nights in a Barroom." For some reason or another the aetors, who had done so well in a variety of pieces during tho week, were unable to do justice to the old melodrama and made a failure of tho production. The attendance was a record-breaker on the last night and tho disappointment which followed tho com pany's unsuccessful efforts to properly produce the drama were keenly felt. Foster School Board. All members of the Foster school board were present Saturday evening at the special session of that body. The auditor's report was read and accepted.

A goose decided who its owner really was, and so settled a dispute in Magis trate Thomas Loftue' court in Pittston on Saturday, Mrsl Ann McDonald charged Maxwell Connors with stealing the goose, and demanded that it be returned. Connors, who appeared in court with the bird, denied that it had been stolen, and had witnesses to prove that lie had purchased the goose from a farmer. The alderman finally decided that the only fair way to settle the dispute was to tako the goose to the roadway near the homo of both and be governed by tho action of the fowl itself. The court adjourned to witness tho test. Tho goose waddled to the plaintiff's house, and its decision was made the ruling of the court. v Firemen Called Out.
