Poor HOUSE EAPPoTNTAIENTs.-
uel Defibaugh has been re-appointed
Steward of the Poor House, Joseph
Wills, Miller, Thos. r. Gettys. Clerk,
and +. F. Kerr. Esq, Attorney. DR..
F. c.. Reamer has been appointed Sur
geon and VIM. Bowles, Treasurer.
These are all excellent appointments.
Mr.. Defbaugh has made very care
ful and upright steward, and Mr. Wills
is popular as Miller. The retiring
Treasurer, Mr.. Blymyer, gave entire
satisfaction during the many years in
which he had charge of the funds. In
fact, the Poor House was never better
officered than it has been during the
past two years.
THE JURY Con- MIssIoNERs, Messrs.
Isaac Kensinger and VIM. Kirk, met
on Monday last, to fill the wheel for
the ensuing year. They appointed
John G.. Fisher and NJ. \. Points,
Esqs., their clerks. Under this system
jurymen are selected with particular
reference to their politics, each COM
missioner confining himself, in his Sc
lections, almost exclusively to his own
party. The Jury Commissioner law
was passed under the pretence of keep
ing politics out Of the jury box. 1t
has had just the opposite effect, for it
places upon the jury men who are
known to be political partizans. But
as long as our Republican" neighbors
in Somerset are willing to stand it, we
shall not complain.
SENsIBLE.-H Horace Greeley gets off
a good thing now and then. In lee
ture recently delivered on "adverti-
sing" he said: .'Some men who know
enough to advertise are yet so narrow
minded as TO contine their own adver-
ments to journals of their own creed
and party. II they do not choose to
trade Nth aay Jm men Of like faith, this
is aoise; datJ' they desire the achole public
for customers, 1t is otherwise.
H.& B. Z. R. R.-NEw SUPERIN-
TENDENT.- Oliver Ayres, Esq, late
superintendent of the Fl. & B. L. r. r.
has resigned, and j. McKillips, Esq,
formerly Observation-Disclosures, has
been appointed in his stead. Mr.. Ayres
was an excellent officer. His sue
ces5or is very highly spoken of, and,
we doubt not, will make an able and
efficient Superintendent.
CHANGE OF TIME.-There will be q
change of schedule on the H. u b. L.
R. r., beginning Thursday, Jan. TO-
The Express train will arrive at Mt.
Dallas at 11.15 a. m.; leave Mt. Dallas

the purpose Of making the connection
with the Eastern and Western trains
on the p. r. R., at Huntingdon.
SOLDIERS OF 1812-ATTENTIoN !
State Treasurer Kemble has directed to
be prepared at once list of the soldiers
of 1912 entitled to pensions from the
State of Pennsylvania. Separate lists
for each county will, as soon as they
are completed, be forwarded to the
Treasurers thereof, which officers will
pay the semi-annual pensions due on
the lst of January, 1867.
GEESE FATTENING.-To fatten geese
the Irish farmers Gazette, says: Put
up three or four in a darkened room
and give each bird one pound of oats
daily, thrown on pan OF water. In
fourteen days they will be found al
most too fat. Never shut less than two
together, as they pine if left alone. The
same rule we rather reckon, will apply
to ganders.
