They will reside at Williamsport, where Mr. Davis holds a position as chief electrical mechanic for a big corporation.

The bride highly accomplished, and is well known to many people in Mount Carmel. Before accepting a position as an instructor in the Quaker City she was a member of the corps of teachers of the public schools here. Pupils who attended her schools were ever after loud in their praise of her. As an instructor she could not be surpassed. She had a thorough knowledge of her subjects, and this together with her wide experience and excellent judg.

ment placed her at the top of her profession. Firm with her pupils, but never harsh, she always had the admiration and confidence of the scholars and nearly every one today exclaims after hearing her name mentioned. "She was the best teacher I ever had." There were many regrets when she resigned here to go to Philadelphia to teach. Mr. Davis is a son of Mr.

and Mrs. Isaac Davis, this city. "Eddie" as he is best known to his large host of friends is one of those good natured fellows, whom everybody likes. He is an electrician and mechanical genius, there being few things along this line that he doesn't understand. At present he holds a very lucrative position at Williamsport with his usual good success.

He has had wide experience along his line of work and there is always a demand for his services among the larger corporations. At one time he was inspector for the Great Northern Railroad. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Davis here extend congratulations.

PAROCHIAL SCHOOL'S JUBILEE twenty fifth anniverasry of the opening of the Sehool of Our Lady will occur on September 15th. On that date, in the year 1892, five Sisters of the I. H. in charge of Mother M. Pius.

Superior, came here from West Chester and began the work of teaching. Twenty-five years ago there was just 130 pupils. The Sisters came here at the invitation of Father James O'Reilly, then pastor, and began their work in a school building that had been made from a club house and stable. A wonderful advance has been made since that time. The new school, one of the finest in the State, and the convent occupied by the Sisters have been built during the administration of the present pastor, Very Rev.

A. Meuwese. The property is worth in the neighborhood of $75,000. There are at present ten grades. Nine Sisters are engaged in the regular courses, and one as instructor of music.

The enrollment is 500. The parochial schools of town, with an enrollment of more than 2000, perform their work without assistance from the State. If they were closed and this added enrollment had to be taken care of by the public school district, it would practically double our school taxes.
