Two hundred and fifty six pupils, or over 50 per cent, have not missed a day in two months. The whole number in attendance last year at this time was 3H7; the number attending this year is 438, a gain of 41 pupiN sufficient for a large school. On comparing the percentage of attendance the last year with those given atiove, I And our percentage of attendance to be 2 per cent hieher than it was lat, the same licing 1)4 per ceut. One school has the magnificent record of 93 per cent another of 97 per cent two of per cent two of 515 per cent. and two 04 per cent, for the two mouths just past.

This is certainly vtry gratifying to the teachers, and cannot help lieing profitable lo the pupils who have made this rtcord. Teachers and pupils are gratified with the new order of dismissal. Schools are gotten out and away from the building without any confusion or any unnecessary noine. The new department of Music and Drawing has been very well received and under the influence of Mrs. Nevin, promises to become a valuable adjunct to our curriculum.

Owing to the rapid increase of the num her of pupils applying for admittance and the crowded condition of the Hinh school, the Board of Directors will be compelled to make provision for another Grammar school and possibly for one more Primary school. The High school is full now. and there is a prospective class about thirty lo be promoted in June next, and there will be but thirteen graduated at that timt. It will ihu be seen that there will be an oveifl unless means are taken to prevent it. Kespeclfully submitted, J.

CUR. MAIN AXI KAII.ROAI STREETS. Stcre open eirer37- e-srexiixigr c'cloolr. A Successful farmers' Reported for I'aa Crrobiclb. The Farmers' Institute held in the Rink on Tuesday was called to order by Hon.

H. M. Wherry, who remarked that he was proud of the fact that be was a farmer, the calling of four sevenths of the Inhabitants of this Republic, and in which more money is invested than any other occupa tlon. After a prayer by Rev. W.

A. McCar-rell, Hon. George D. Powell tpuke on "How to Build up a Successful Daily." He said that a dairy system would pay in a populous country like ours better than wheat growing, now that we roust compete with western farmers. "The dairy type of cow is marked by fine body, bead, and horns, delicate neck and shoulders, shafp back and large digestive organs -a wedge-shaped cow.

The beef type is larger, head coarser, horns heavier, back straight with rib6 running straight across, smaller stomach and rounded form. "In buying a cow theee points should be considered rather than the pedigree, which should be considered in buying the sire, inquiring, however, into the history of the pedigree, as bow much milk his dam produced, which should have yielded two pounds of butter per day. A dairy cow should give at least 800 pounds of butter per year. "Protein in the feed furnishes meat, milk, horns, hoofs, hair and bones. Carbohydrates and fats furnish the fuel to sustain life.

The proportion of these in food for milkers should be one to Ave or six; for teef one of protein to seven or eight." (A thait showing proportions in different foods was shown). "Too much cotton seed meal will increase yield but injure the flavor of butter." In answer to questions he said coin and oats should he fed in equal parts. The per centage of fat in milk varies but lillle. Cows with high milk records give constant yields and are not injured by high production. It ia better to breed a cow yearly.

He then made a few remarks in favor of silage. Dr. Myers spoke next on "Hygenic Conditions on the Farm," condemning the practice of watering milk cows at a pond, and the dangers from impure cellars and pigsties. by a male quartette from the Normal school closed the session. The opening ot the afternoon session was brightened by a trio of female voices from lie Normal school, and while waiting for the speaker of the afternoon.

Mr Powell made a few remarks cm "Apple Culture." Hon. John Hamilton, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, first spoke on "Fertilizers." of the three constituents of Ihe soil which must tie replenished, and suggested sowing trial pi using the seven possible combinations of nilrogen, potash and phosphoric acid. Thus Ihe farmer at once finds fie elements he needs in a fertilizer and need pay for nothing else. He explained the theory of the alsorp-li of atmospheric nitrogen by clover, Ihu-: "Bacteria lodge in the plant jut above the ground, forming a nodule, and consume elementary nitrogen, ejecting it in a combined form." After a vocal solo by Miss Duke a permanent organization was agreed upon and the chair empowered to appoint a commit tee. Mr.

I'nwell then a few remarks as to organization and Mr. Hamilton followed in a talk about "Good Roads." He spoke from a practical knowledge since be is supervisor in his own district He said that lo make roads dry the middle must be higher than the sides. The best material to make roads solid is stone. This is better and cheaper broken by a crusher and should not le larger than one inch in diameter. It would cost per mile to put this on a road six inches deep and seven feet wide.

Heavy wagons should bave tires six inches wide or pay toll to the supervisor. Road viewers should choose the best grade and settle damages afterwards. To keep a road smnoth It should be cared for while it is raining and the stones should be kept oft. The roads should be inspected every thirty days. There should be three supervisors, each serving three years, one going out every year, and they should be properly holders.

The evening session was opened with a vocal solo by Rev. Geo. (5. Henry followed by a quartette from the Normal school. After this much appreciated music Mr.

Powell showed how the rudiments of agriculture might be taught to the public schools. Botany may be illustrated by lessons on the growth of farm plants from the seed np chemistry by showing the ingredients ot farm products and the fertilizers necessary to produce them; entomol- gy by the insects which feed on farm products. Miss Noonan followed with a reading that was so well received that she responded to thu applause by a very clever descriptive of the old tune "Money Musk." Senator N. B. Critchfield then read a scholarly paper on "Education." He made a plea not only for the partial substitution of science for the classics in our colleges, but forthe simplification of much of the learning taught in our common schools and the introduction of science in an interesting and simple form.

"Since the majority of people begin and end their education in the mmon schools, the best thought and effort should be given to make them complete in their way." By this lime the desertions from the audience on account of the temperature of the room bad become quite numerous and when Hon. Ievi Wells came forward, instead of taking up bis subject, in a few witty remarks begged to be excused on account of the temperature and it was under promise that it would be but a pleasure deferred, that the chair agreed. The attendance increased with the day, there being some four hundred present at the evening session, the best attended institute, so far, In the valley.

G. M. D. Eckels was one of the instructors at ihe Dauphin county teachers' institute and the Uir-l ndrprndent says of him: "Professor G. M.

D. Eckels has entertained and instructed thousands of teachers at this and other county institutes throughout the state, ami when he appeared this morning befure this department he was given a most cordial welcome. He is the able and popular principal of the Cumberland Va ley Slate Normal School at Shippensburg. which is well known to the teachers of this community. He interested his hearers by his remarks on 'Training lo A special train passed through Stiip-peneburg Monday evening shortly atler five o'rl-ck, bearing Governor Hastings and party to Atlanta, where they will participate in the exercises of "Pennsylvania Dsy" t'-day.

The train consisted of five sleepers, a dining car and a combination baggage cr, and the route was over the Valley and Norfolk Western railroads. A large party of public officials and prominent people accompanied the governor. In Atlanta a public reccptin will tie tendeied Governor and Mrs. Hastings. The entire party will live on the train during their stay In Atlanta with the exception of Ihe governor, his wife, and cabinet, who will be quartered at a hotel.

About thirty persons from Shippensburg went to Chambersburg last Friday evening to hear Remenyi, the celebrated Hun earian violinist, supported by Mile. Louiee Roman, pianist. Miss Stein, soprano soloist, and Eugene Davis, baritone. It was, without doubt, the greatest musical treat ever enjoyed by the people of Chambersburg. Shippensburg, and the other towns which sent large delegations.

To bear Remenyi is to hear the best. He was in his happiest mood Friday night and consented to a large number of recalls. Never before had we seen a Chambersburg audi ence so enthusiastic. Mr. L.

Bert Eyster, the local manager who secured this musical feast, deserves many thanks for having made it possible for the people of this community to hear Remenyi. Go to Coffey's for shirts, collars and cuffs. Resolutions of Thanks. The following resolutions were passed by the Farmers' Institute on Tuesday: Whereas.

Uovcrnor Hastings on Monday issued his first Thanksgiving proclamation. It reads about the same as th'M issued by his predecessors. A game of fnothall was played at the Normal last Saturday afternoon between the two elevens of the school but we did not hear the result. A sad lesson In the matter of leaving matches within the reach of small children was learned by the distressing and fatal accident on Monday. Some of our exchanges last week were profusely decorated with roosters, coons, etc.

We might remark that they were all Republican exchanges. owing to some repairs being needed to their st-am apparatus, the Shippensburg has gone to "African hand ower" while the repairs are being made. Last Saturday was a most oppressive day. more like a damp day in August than November. There was a change during the night, however, and Sunday was windy and cold.

The directors of the Shippensburg branch of the Needlework met at Mrs. I.eorge H. Stewart's T'l-sdav afternoon with their contributions, but have not yet received a rejort. We would like to ask Council what we are to do with our ashes. We have not yet heard of the man with the cart twing around and our box is piled up and pinning over.

A dollar or two from those who are tint up will greatly aid in keeping the machinery in oil.

It takes money, too, to run the printing business. Apropos of the many marriages this season a hunted bachelor promises that the game laws be made operative for human animals. His proixv-sltlon Is to limit the marriageable season to six months. Any woman contracting marriage out of the season or any woman assisting another woman in contracting an engagement should be subject to the same penalty a a man who catches trout out of season or shoots quail before the law says he may. It Is not reasonable to subject a man to the necessity of eluding traps and snares to entrap him during the entire year.

An exchange prints the following article, which Is applicable In every community and Is worth reproducing: would like to ofTer a suggestion to the people of this town for this Winter. ship a big box of clothing and provisions a thousand miles away when there is a little boy freezing just around the corner, probably within a few feet of you. It Is all right to send help away, but take care of the destitute at your own doors before going any farther away. Ixm't hesl-tn'e alxnit giving a IYesbyterlan coat to a Met boil liir or a Methixllst pair of pants to a I.irh-ran. the clothing to the needy, regardless of the religious faith of his parents or his relatives, and you will have done an act that is commendable in the eyes of the Almighty." It is worse than useless to attempt to have a public gathering In the Rink excepting during warm weather.

This was again proved at the dinners' Institute on Tuesday. While the attendance was very good. Indeed, yet nodonbt many who had tried the Kink lefore in cold weather stayed away on account of the low temperature. in me evening session me ttiiuicnce nan almost dispersed before the program was ended, not because the exercises were not Interesting, but simply tiecause they were not willing to suffer any lunger ami risk their health in the icy atmosphere. This Is another argument in favor of a town hall.

vVe hope some of our money-d men will think it. It Is a shame that a town of the size, enterprise and wealth of Shippensburg should have nothing better than a barn in which to have entertainment, institutes, etc. THE LITTLE PEACH.

A. Squires the jewelers, have had tbe interior of their store room repapered and otherwise cleaned and put in good condition to make ready for the holiday trade which will shortly open up. In the report of the Farmers' Institute the correspondent of the Carlisle leader says that the house was overcrowded at the morning session. As the meetings were held in the Rink our readers can imagine how nearly correct that is. As will be seen by an advertisement in another column and by bills posted through the town, the school directors of Shippensburg township will offer the school house on Normal avenue at public sale on Saturday, November 30.

Tbe Board will be compelled to rebuild at the end of the present school jear, in order to provide additional room, and if tbe borough limits are extended the part of the township in which the school building is located will be brought in. Having bought a big lot of misses' and children's shoes at less than price I will sell them at a cut pi ice. Cohill. Cumberland County Items. George I.

The butter will be sold and the proceeds turned into the borough treasury. Solomon NefT, of Newville, was held up by a gang of seven tramps while on his way to Doubling Gap Springs last Thursday morning. They were frightened away by an approaching team. Messrs.

The warehouse at Southampton, on the Western Md. railroad, was broken mto Sunday night but nothing was secured. The door and money drawers were damaged.

This is the sixth time tbe office has been entered. The sheriffs bill for October is $448 35, divided as follows: boarding prisoners, $293 75; boarding vagrants, 9 dis-charging prisoners, $19; discharging vagrants.

Mr. Stephen Houser, of Allentown, who was visiting relatives in Chambersburg, died last Thursday from the effects of a full while ascending a stairway the Monday previous, in which bis arm was broken.

He was in the seventy sixth year of his age. John Pugh, a well known resident of Chamberfburg, died very suddenly on Monday morning. He had arisen early and made the fire in the kitchen, and then sat down beside tbe stove and began to smoke his pipe. When his wife came down stairs shortly after she found him sitting in the chair dead and his pipe lying on tbe floor by bis side. He was sixly-tlve years ot age and Iwsides his widow leaves a large family.

He was a blacksmith by occupation. A double dwelling house on South Second street, Chambersburg, was badly damsged by fire Monday night and the occupants met wilh considerable loss to furniture. The bouse is owned by M. U. Brown and his loss is $200, covered by insurance in the Lurgan company.

Peter Benedict, one of the tenants, lost about $100, and F. P. Barnhart, tbe other, about $200 The fire is thought to have origl nated from the burstiug of a terra cotta pipe in the partition between the Summer kitchens. On Monday morning a complete safe breaker's outfit was found in acorn shock on the farm of Joseph Patterson along the Western Md. railroad just north of Chambersburg.

It consisted of a brace, two finely tempered bits, a pint bottle of powder, several feet of fuse, and a tin funnel tied around wilh twine Unfortunately the sh'ick of corn was hauled away with others before the owners of the outfit had returned for it, and that destroyed the chsree of capttiring them.

in. The congregation of tbe Methodist Episcopal church at Beividere, Maine, adopted a novel method for raising money to buy a new library for the Sabbath school. Last Spring each member of the school was presented with five pumpkin seeds for planting and on the day set for the planting the faithful ones held a prayer meeting and invoked the divine blessing on the soil, the seed and the planter. The harvest, produced upwards of a thousand pumpkins, and these were sold at public sale at the church last week. Sufficient money was raised to procure a very handsome library.

REPAIRING DONE PROMPTLY AND CAREFULLY. KAPPES DEIHL, 11 East Jlain Sliippenslmrg, la. A Baby Burned to Death. A very distressing accident occurred on Monday at the home of Mr. Finkenbinder, near the Normal school, in which his youngest child, John, a baby two and a half years old, received injuries which caused his death after severe suffering.

The facts as we learned them are as follows Mrs Finkenbinder is one of the cooks st the Normal, while her husband, who is quite an aged man, stays at home and looks after the children, there being (our ot them. Monday morning about ten o'clock the children were playing about the door when the bahy iu some way got hold of some matches. Attention was first called to him by seeing his clothes in a blaze and before the flames could be extinguished he was burned in a shocking manner. When the accident occurred a young woman who was in the house and might bave smothered the flames lost her piesence of mind and ran to the Normal for the child's mother while the flames did their cruel work. Dr.

Berry was summoned in a short time and did what he coul 1 to relieve the terrible sufferings of the little boy, but death mercifully came about four o'clock in the afternoon. The keenest pity is felt that an innocent child should meet such a dreadful end and the distressed parents have the sympathy of the community.

The ValUy Srit tells the following story "Nearly a score ot years ago a Chambersburg man quarreled with his oldest son. Hard words and almost blows were exchanged. Tbe father ordered the son to leave the house and never again darken his doors. The boy left, with his father's malediction upon him, enlisted In the legular atniy, served his term in the far west and then returned to Pennsylvania. He settled in a city in the eastern part of the Slate, learned the drug business and has prospered.

Years rolled on and the mother of the family was laid to rest. Tbe boy once was in Chambersburg for a few hours and sent for his brothers and sisters to see him but did not go near his fatber'a house. Last week the cast-off son was in Har-risburg on business and accidentally learned that a favorite brother was lying dead here. He at once started for Chambersburg, arriving here at two o'clock. Upon inquiry he learned that It was tbe hour for his brother's funeral, and started at once for the cemetery.

Entering the gate he saw a knot of people In a far corner and ran at once towards tbem, carrving bia satchel and coat with him. He'was not a moment too soon. The coffin was across the open grave and the supports were being removed preparatory to lowering the body to his last resting place. After a word of explanation the coffin was opened and the wanderer took a last look at him. From that grave father and son walked out of the cemetery, arm in arm, friends once Brick Hourk at tbe corner of Main and Penn streets for rent.

On Tuesday Abs. Barklow, who lives out along the mountain, went to the residence of John Varner at Stony Point and stayed to dinner. After dinner the men walked out to the stable and in a short time engaged in an altercation, the outgrowth of an old feud. Barklow drew a knife and cut Varner in the back on the left shoulder blade, making a gash four and a half inches long and glancing down the bone forming a pocket in the flesh. Varner then knocked Barklow down and as he was afterwards found lying unconscious and bleeding from a cut across the abdomen and one in the right leg 11 is inferred that Varner used the knife on him, although he denies it.

Barklow was given surgical attention and will recover, although it was reported that he was fatally wounded and once that he was dead. Later in the evening Varner walked into Shippensburg and had bis wonnd dressed by Dr. Shively. School House at Public Sale.
