boarding in the Brookville Burne,
House was fixed. the boarders receive
but two meals a day. No wonder the
liquor sellers oppose tho liquor law
which provides putting them on short
allowance.
EHThe Sons Of Temperance are
enjoying great prosperity just now
owing to the females. for
"wnen a lady signs the pledge,
Its Just ~ good a. two,
For when her sweetheart aads u . ~.
Hes sure 10 Sign II too"
MEASYzss. There is q little 7< 6
specimen of man. living in town, whose
children often way-lay our carrier and
beg a paper. II they fail in this. they
borrow It before night Of poor neigh.
Dor. while he reads II every week at
the stores or offices Of honest men,
Such a man would steal If it we're not
for the penitentiary.
EF The friends Of the Rising Sun
and Patriot distilleries had tremen-
dous anti-prohibitory-law meeting at
Bark Works last week. They advise
the distilleries to continue operations
even after the i2th Of June, but to
sell only out of the State. Sage ad'
vice. surely, and we guess they will
follow it, seeing the law don't forbid it.
SLIonrKD.-We feel very much slight
ed that none Of the many anti-temper-
ance Indignation meetings" have ever
requested US to publish their proceed
ings. Are they afraid that sober men
will see how powerful weak" their
their opposition is? Ours is paper
for the people and we would like to be
remembered by our enemies as we'll as
our friends.
PRoor REApIYo.--We have often
been mortified Of late, at many typo.
graphical mistakes that have appeared
in our columns. We regret this more
in the articles from our correspondents
than in our own, as but few Of them
know how difficult it is TO avoid such
mistakes. In late letter from An
Jacksonville, the writer was made to say
what he never meant. His explana'
ton will be found on our FIRST page
We will promise however In future tc
try to do better. We think we have
already improved. Let Correspon'
dents write plainly. and We will give
agood proof"
SIMEON RousnKr.-This gentleman
who once taught school here. but more
recently in Highland township. hs'
opened school in Greensburgh. tt
say that we wish him success would
hardly express our feelings. W.
would rather say that he deserves sue
cess. He is a man Of irreproachable
moral character. and Of unsurpassed
devotion To the interest OF his sch ools
His at.ainments and his talents ar,
not equal to some. but he has the rar,
faculty Of imparting all he knows
and Of securing the respect and conf
dence Of those who attend his instruc
tons. We think none will regret pa
patronsing him.
HrpnopHoDIA. - Great excitement
was prevailing in the vicinity Of Mix,
erville last Sunday and Monday. on
account Of the prevalence Of hydro
phobia, TO an unheard-of extent
Our informant says that not less than
six dogs had been killed while rabid,
and ii was unknown bow!many they had
bitten. Two cows had died. A fam.
lily had been using the milk OF one, foi
the three weeks that had elapsed since
she had been bitten. not knowing that
the dog was mad. Several hogs have
also died, and it is feared that the
worst has not yet been developed
Other neighborhoods are in statd OF
alarm, for stray dogs have been secI,
swapping stock, in various places re-
