It was not hot- privilege ( o receivo ft collegiate education . i jut she had seized upon every t >pportunity for mental culture ( iikI had equippod herself in the ( chool hero and by attendance on J c he county summer schools here md tho Iftst three sessions or the j state Normal Institute, to hecomo ( >ne of the most proticiout and sue- ^ essful teachers in the service t.f he Lancaster graded schools. For 1 our years sho had been principal f tho brauch of tho graded school t tho cotton mill and tho best J videnco of her cilieieucy and sue- t e?s as a teacher is tho fooling of h nubility on the part of tho board e ?f trustees to till tho position n u ?i d o vac a n t by her / mtimely death.

A very touching ! t scene was theadvauciug of each of 1 the pupils of her school, with sad 1 countenance and sadder heart, and * placing a bouquet on tho grave of j their dearly beloved teacher. t To the grief-stricken ones in the homo overshadowed by gloom !Uid sorrow, from which this lovely flower of young womanhood was { plueked, are extended the siucor- j sst sympathies of their many ' friends.

St. Petersburg, Juno 9. ? All apanoso movements are interpreted here as earned by anxiety to atiiper as much ns possiblo whatver movement Gen. Kuropatkin nay be* making to help Port Arthur. Not only have the Japnese bombarded the west coast of duo Tung peninsula where the ail way runs close to the shore, nuKingtcints of debarkation, but ien. Kuroki has assumed the ofensivo eastward. Ho has sent an iverpoweringly strong column hat drove out the Russians from , fortitied position at Saimatazu, 1U miles northwest of Feng Wang Iheng, inflicting a loss of 100 nen. The authorities say that they are v.thout information concerning ho light at Saimtszsa beyond the ifficiul dispatch that was made Miblic tonight, but that the Russian withdrawal was quite in oc :ordance with Gen. Kuropatkhi's >rearrangod plan, although the Russian losses indicate stubborn Ighting. Militai y critics profess o he not altogether cortani ivnoUicr Uen.
