In 1878 Mr. Houswerth commenced the study of law and was admitted to the bar two years later. In 1885 he was honored with a teachers' permanent certificate, and is now engaged in the practice of the law and in literary work in his native town. Mr. Houswerth is known in central Pennsylvania as the Bard of the Susquehanna." [Thos. W.
