(Special Correspondence to the Pi:k8 ) Ork.entwvn, March. 2:1 Xijiert and Son started their mill at Corey town this week with tho intention of sawing their entire winter stock. We think if tho teachers, of Greene would have a flood local institute where they iuirht exchange views and receive some instruct ion in re gard to ways and methods of teach ing, and how to teach a successful school, it would be of far more bene fit to both teachers and pupils tlian a wishy-washy method of exchang ing visits for tho solo purpose of visiting and receiving a mess of cand)-, and other stuff to tickle the jMilato, which only serves to spoil the minds of the pupils for a whole fortnight. Incentives to study should lo of a different nature. The lxnver and ability of a wide awake teacher does not lie in this superficial method of pleasing parents ami children.

Vho said that Sanihstou is not. an up-to-Vlate town. The Either school racket oc cupied the attention of the peoplo for a time, t hen enme tho minister racket that convulsed the peoplo, and lastly the great Jhurcli trial. That threw all past rackets far Into the shade, and now an all pervad ing calm has fallen over the town; still hero and there Is occasional ebullition 'of the last racket as each one mixed In, de clares with groat vigor that he had no thing to do with that racket and has not broken the Ninth Commandment In letter or spirit, and usually winds up with saying " I told you so." Our Board of Education met on Satur day night, but I am not Informed what business was transacted. I hear that Miss Hornbeek of Fisher school farm has noti fied tho board that unless they pay for two weeks' teaching, which she claims Is due her, she will sue the board.

The Ccntrevillo exhibition was very good, considering the time they were in preparation, only locking In one essential, and that was music.

For an all round butcher commend us to Waah Lantz, who Is busy all the time and Is making a big success of the business. Ho visits Milford three times a week, rain or shine.

George had a key to the till, and as he could tap it at any time he ought to have been smart enough not to have been caught trying to get his key out of the lock. 1 am afraid George Is in for a vacation, for this caper. Why don't the Herald Sendyston corres pondent say something about gambling In his items. The game of ' freeze out" Is plain poker, and It Is on the boards contin uously at Centreville, or does W.

A certain person named Tom married an estimable lady who at her marriage had throe girls, one of them married Tom's nephew.

Lost Wednesday evonlng a load of plea sure seekers wont to Ledgedale, but they did not trip the light fantastic- ton, that part wo loft for another time, but they took possession of Mrs. Klllam's dining room and laid the table to suit their own minds. But what oday Thursday was it not only rained but It poured, the snow dammed the water and made the walking so nice. So much snow on the roofs and the rain made It so heavy was the cause of a born falling partially down. The barn belonged to Mr, Ferdinand Jacob. Ono cow tied in the stable was caught in the debris, she was crushed down, but not seriously injured. The lumber men are very busy carting the lumber off while the snow stays. Mr. I. K.

Editor Pike County Press Hear Hir : In last weeks issue of the Port .lervis ( Ju&Ptto Mr E. B. Kititncr signs himself to n scurrihats article entire ly unworthy of hinwelf and the Ofiz ette and in the same hns the effron tery to challenge me to enter into a debute wilh him. One untruth more or less does not seem to weigh ttjion his conscienee.and his artcilo is such a tissue of misrepresentation that it would lie rodleulous in me to give it any nt tent ion. Ho seems to try to be all things to all men, and the last one who talks with Mr. Kintner seems to have him as he wants him. In reference to the challenge upon which ho lays so much stress I would say first that your readers are all aware how unpleasant it is to try to converse, or debate with a man who is intoxicated, and that no one can, nor should be condemned for avoiding, when possible, being placed in such a predicament. Therefore if E. B. Kintner will leave off his wrestling with the merry-go rounu, anu aostain from intoxica ting drinks one whole year, then I shall with the greatest pleasure moet him In debatonpon any sensible top ic be may select. I should insist npon the probation being not less than one year, for the reason that a reformation extending over that period of time would be indicative of his ability to appear upon the platform in such condition that one would not need to sacrifice their self respect to meet him. This one would certainly be compiled to do were he to appear in the condition he usually does when he wishes to be conspiuous, or as he says, when he wishes to do busiuess. Recipro cating with him in his desire that those open confessions should clear the atmosphere, and be a means to accomplish a good end, I am. 1 1 Yours very truly, Geo. E. Hurst, Layton, N. J., Mar. S3, 1890. That Wonderful Merry-Go-Round. Layton, N. J., March 2:ird mm. Mn Editor: I have heard so many ask what that iiferry-go-rounddown at Ceutro ville Is like that the spirit sort o'moves me to relieve their curiosity through that greatest of educators the PllEss. Ono of our prominent citizens answered the query by saying, " Oh I It only n grand drunk, but that Is such an awfully crude explanation that I have hardly recovered from the shock yet. It Is enough to throw ono Into spasms to think of such a thing I will try uiifl do a little lx-tter than that, kind o throw a glamour of sentiment and poetry around the subject as It wero. Most merry-go-rounds go with a wheezy old en gine, or turned by a crunk, but this one runs by Jersey lightning so you can truly can it an electrical machine. Having no dyniuns near to furnish tho motive pow this merry-go-rouud has to havo the light ning fed to it from storage batteries. Keep it in bottle you know, and give It a dose whenever the motion slacks. Score one for Centreville for adopting a new force to an old, old movement. This machine hns quite a numlier of parts, but when it gets In full motion it appears to lie nothing but legs and arms with a stove in tlie centre, and although it is nearly new It makes a clatter to raise the dead. The timber of which it Is composed is not all grown at Centreville; the best probably comes from the limestone ridges west of the village though occaslonaly a little choice timber Is imported from Port Jorvls. This merry- go-round sometimes gets bo highly charged that it Is liable to draw In any one stand ing by, then It becomes rather erratic, and Is liablo to border on a riot. Only the other night a gentleman standing near was drawn Into the machine and could not get out until his coat was mode ready for rag carpet, only excepting the machine did not wind them Into balls. It is said It painted them red though. I did not see this however and cannot vouch for Its cor rectness. Everything el so was painted red so possibly It was not a fish story. If It Is essential to your understanding of this narration to know it Is absolutely correct, I will on hearing from you to that effect get the manager of the merry-go- round to send you an affidavit and then you will probably know less about It than you do now. This machine separates au tomatical when the Beanoe is over, excep ting the bar-room stove, which Is the pivot around which the merry-go-round revolves, After separating the various parts become wonderful to tell farmers, editors, butch ers, poets, etc., and wander around the world acting their several parts, until the time comes for the elub to meet, when more wonderful to tell the component parts again come together by mutual attraction and the machine after a few doses gets In to regular motion. I saw a statement sometime ago that the editor thought there were a few more doors it wonld save the machine the trouble of poking Its heads through the windows so often. I fear this is not the exact language of the editor.but when the butcher gets some Ice under hi hat he will be able to tell you all that I may have forgotten. Some Whys. Where are the blue birds that were seen near Milford ? Why does a man promise to do what he does not mean to perform Why do we expect more from others than we would be willing to do ourselves V Why do some ministers of the gos pel say " yes, I will do thus and so I will visit tliat sick sister," and never do it.
