Mystery Cleared. The disappearance of Rev. J. B. Ehr- hart, United Evangelical minister lately stationed at Lehigh Gap and ap pointed for Bird'sboro, has turned out to be no mystery, but only an ex change of assignments.

"Mr. McCormick and his brother, attorney Frank McCormick were among the vtaimchest supporters Judge Freas had in his candidacy for the Orphans' Court bench and it is not surprising that has placed this snug plum at the disposal of one of the brothers. Mr. Malnwarlng could have held out against the hut such a course make the relations between 'him and the judge such as would not be conducive to the best interests of the office.

"The place is about the choicest plum among the court house clerks ships, It pays a salary of $2,500 a year, and as Judge Freas is just beginning his term, the position will be good for ten years, It will be remembered that It was the late Judge Darte who was Instrumental in keeping Mr. Potteiger in the position after Mr. Kuntz left the office, the judge refusing to confirm R. P. Robinson, who was the choice Mr.

As he turned away from the tel ler's window two five-dollar bills drop ped unobserved to the floor. The con stable was moving away without no ticing his loss, but young Mulligan had seen the bills fall to the floor and pick ing them up restored them to the sur prised officer.
