News reaches us that David M. Rank, of East Hanover, is seriously ill and that little hopes are entertained for his recov. ery. Mr. Rank has been ailing for a year or more, although he was not confined to his bed.

He did not, however, leave his home and all his business affairs were attended to by his son, Mr. D. S. Rank. For many years extending over a perioc of more than half a century Mr.

Rank was one of tbe most prominent leaders of the Republican party in this county and bad complete control of the north western end of the county where his word was as good as his bond. His counsel and advice were sought as much as those of any man, and although be was always a stalwart Republican and gave much of bis time and money to further tbe interests of his party.he never accepted office for himself.uotwitbstaad- ing he could for the mere asking have bad any office he desired.and was anxious only for his friends to whom he adhered with unflinching fidelity. Of late years on account of old age Mr. Rink his dropped out of politics and attended to bis farms and large business interests until he became too decrepit, for be is now beyond eighty years of age. Bis lite has been a long and eventful one and it is scarcely to be expected that he will ever recover from his present serious attack.

WET SOT MOuNT It ii tie Host Eeiightfal Park 12 ths The Air Pure and Balny and the Water ol the Very Need of Hanling it Eight Milei us at Gettysburg Adjutant General Greenland, General Wiley and party who visited the Gettysburg battle field last Tuesday for a further examination of it as a place of encampment for the division this summer, have returned home without reaching a tin: decision. Tbe pressure of Governor Pattison to have the division encamp there, notwithstanding its unfitness and the scarcity of water, may influence the selection, but that will not remove the objections as a proper place for tbe health of tbe troops or military movements. It is proposed to secure the water from Hanover, eight miles away, which wul at least require ice to mtike it fit for use, where if tbe encampment was at Mt. Gretna Park it would be furnished from pure mountain streams in the park. Ploughed fields are not conducive to Rive health as camping grounds and it will be a derelict of duty of Govoiuor Pattison aud others to select such a site.

The encampment there is a mere matter of sentiment, and General Sohofleld anil other officers can as well visit Mt. Gietna as they will Gettysburg. And wbat guarantee is there that monuments will not be damaged by an irresponsible soldiery? General Gobin, in answer to our iuquiry on tbis poiut, replied, "There is none." It is therefore impolitic to select Gettysburg when Mt. Gretna offers such superior advantages. Mr.

Coleman has expended thousands of dollars to make it an Ideal encampment ground and it is dne therefore that the State, which has received so much generosity at his hands, should give Mt. uretna the preference. SCHOOL HOIKS. This is the first school day for tbe seventh month of the present session in this city. But three months more till vacation.

Superintendent Boger is busily engaged preparing tbe for the March school examination, which will be tield sometime next week. Rev.

Parents who do not see that their children apply themselves to their studies at tome, must not complain if they fail to uss at tbe examinations next week. It a only the studious boys aud girls who will oome out right on their examination papers.

Owing to sickness and other unavoidable circumstances tbe attendance of the "regulars" for the school month, that closed yesterday, will not present KO encouraging an appearance as those pf previous aumbs; but withal that the attendance WM quite creditable. The last lecture of the course under tbe auspices of the High Sohool library com. mittee will be delivered on Tuesday evening next, by Hon Henry Houck. Tbe Old and the an admirable one and Mr. Houck will handle it in a manner that will make it Interesting.

Seven principal low-barometers or storm centres will cross the continent within that peiiod, moving eastward. Tornadoes may be expected iu those parts frequented by these destroyers. Temperature will go to great extremes and frosts will damage early crops fat southward. E'ectric storms will precede aud severe cold waves follow some uf these blows. Those crossing the continent March 7 to 11, 12 to 1C, 18 to 24, 25 to 28 and April 4 to 8 should be carefully watched." Edwin N.
