PROTESTANT The Mahomedan religion
was established by an Arabian shepherd, who
in the seventh century, set himself up as a
prophet, and declared that he was the per-
son promised to be the follower Of Jesus
Christ land being later was greater than
Christ And it is historical fact that more
people, to-day, are under the influence of the
Mahomed religion than any one other of the

'DowN IT Es.--Butter, fresh ''grass
butter" can now be had In any quantity, in
our market, at twenty-five cents per pound.
Meats beef, Is to 20 cents per pound !;
corned beef 10 to IA cents rump steaks,
Is to Is cents; sirloin steaks, II to 20 cents;
Mutton-fore quarter II to Is cents; hind
quarter, 10 to 20 cents; chops, Is to 20
cents.
The above, which we quote from Har-
risburg paper of Tuesday last, will give our
readers a pretty good idea of how marketing
is selling in that usually dear city. What a
contrast to the high prices kept up in this
place, where butter is. selling at from 35 to
40 cents per pound. 1t should be remem-
bered that extravagant rents and high prices
operate seriously against the improvement
and progress Of our town. Some people
seem to forget that the war is over, and
imagine that the high prices which resulted
from it must continue forever. At Berwick,
Wilkesbarre, Williamsport, Carlisle, Ian
caster and many other places, butter is selling
at 20 cents.

- We notice that MANY counties have

DZ We notice that many counties have
already held their coraty conventions. We
suggest that the Democracy Of this county
change the time of holding their delegate
elections and nominating conventions, and
hold them in July instead of the latter part
of August 1t would give more time to
work for the nominees to the time Of holding
the elections. La our county Offices it will
make very little if any difference, but in our
district nominations it will be an advantage to
us to have them made earlier, and in order
to accomplish that end we must hold our
nations not later than the middle of July
At our coming county convention this should
be attended to.
