The FAIR arrangement is progressing FAIRLY
Carpenters are putting up FAIR, Oh tables
where repasts will be enjoyed as palatable as
the ancient teasts of PHARAoH. We call this
cruelty to animais-this making people eat so
much at fairs. It's worse than horse racing.
Two taverns, inns or eating houses, will te
kept running all the time. The men and ami
mails will be kept separate, though no doubt
many MEN and BRUTEs will eat together. One
OF the features i'll the preparations is a tremen-

is wagon, with bed. in which is placed tin
reservoir, which is perforated so as to let out
the water, like cloud does when il ains. IL
is so calculated that it will hold just as much

Adams Express Company brought six thou
sand boxes of peaches to Johustown this sea
son. If other towns in the northern States
purchase accordingly, then peach growing in
Delaware and Maryland must be profitable
One thousand such towns would consume ak
million of bushels, worth three million dollars
Johnstown and vicinity must have spent about
fifteen thousand dollars for peaches, in one
season.
There is an Improvement about to be intro
duced into our mental arithmetics. The old
question elf one apple costs three cents, what
will two apples cost % Is to be eIpunged and
the question. ''lf the Governor steals three
million dollars, how many millions does the
President steal?" is to be substituted in its
place.
The rural school districts complain every
! year that the people get but four months
schooling. This is a sad drawback upon the
spread of intelligence, but it is quite an easy
matter to extend the term to eight months
Let every pupil this winter study just as much
more as it did last winter and the thing is done
This can be done by studying o nights. Do
you see it?
Chestnuts will be bountifu crop this wear

are hanging full of burs. This is a sign that
aLother year will follow this one soon. and that
another letter will follow this next week, if
not pi previously.
SEPT %. 1STi.-The Governor of the Com
monw ealth has at last appointed Judges for the
District Court and the Sheriff has issued a
| proclamation calling election for Judges at
the regular October election. This is dupli
eating kindness long delayed. The people are
jubilant over the appointments. We hope after
this people will let well enough alone. The
following the appointees James Potts,
Pres't. Judge; danes Cooper and David Ham
ilton. Associate Judges; G. T. Swank. Pro
! thonotafy. A Court will he held the first
Monday of October, but little nothing can

! to parties interested. A regular Court will be
| held in January next.
Jacob A. Harold has been selected as teach
er at East Conemaugh and Henry Ely and
| Sarah Hill as teachers in Franklin borough.
There was a heavy frost here on Thursday
morning, and vegetation went the way of all
ths earth. Look out for an early winter.
