MAIN STREET, in front Of the Court
House has reached such q condition as
TO call for some action on the part of
the Town Council. 1t is at present in
worse state that any other street
in town and should be at once
put in order. The greater part of the
heavy ore tcaming is done on Main
Street and it naturally requires more
attention than most others, The ruts
near the crossing in front Of the Court
House are so deep as to endanger the
springs Of light wagons.

FACTS ABOUT FRuIT.-Fruits aud
berries at this season ofthe year are not
only precious luXuries, but great pro.
moters of health. They act upon the
liver, promoting that secretion natural
ly which many are in the habit of OBJ
tanning artillcially by the means Of
medicines. They thus avert many
disease resulting from a torpid con
dition of the liver. Another way in
Which they act beneticially is in the
mechanical effect their little seeds pro,
duce in passing through the bowels,
very much the same as the watering of
an irritated eye.ball when any hard
substance touches that delicate organ,
and this water, by dissolving the hard
ened contents of constipated bowels,
keeps them in a healthier state than
any pill or purgative invented by the
apothecary. There can be no doubt that
in the summer and fall see SONS people
who live mainly on fruits and berries
and coarse bread can almost insure eX-
emption from sickness, while those who
eat heartily of cooked meats and vegeta-
bles two or three times day are liable
! to all the diseases the flesh is heir to.

BY reference to our report of Court
Proceedings, to be found elsewhere, it
it will be seen that the investigation
into the election of James Dennis as a
member of the Town Council resulted
in the formal awarding to him of the
position, The recount of the ballots Civ
ing him two votes more than the de-
clared number of the election boards.
The election of Dennis was contested
simply and wholly on the grounds of
an improper counting of ballots, ii hav.
ing been generally reported that tickets
containing his name had also those of
five others which should have been, but
were not, erased. The recount of the
ballots in open Court showed that con-
trary to popular rel ort the tickets We're
properly cast and therefore the seat in
Council to which Dennis was rightfully
elect 4 wasjudicially awarded him.

TIE weather prophets are about. 1t is
now stated that old western settlers
predict that the present summer will
witness a repetition in that quarter of
the great floods of 1911. This prediction
is base mainly upon the fact of the
great similarity of the weather during
the twelve or fourteen months which
Immediately preceded the months of
the floods of 1911 and the weather of
the past fourteen months. They say
that the year ending with May, 1914,
was year of extraordinary drought,
just as has been the past twelve or four
teen months that in the winter of 1913
i the SHOWS which fell in the noun
tains of the West were extraordinarily
heavy, and that the same was the case
in the past winter; chat the heavy rains
of 1914 set in about the first of June,
Just as they have in 1872.

HORRIBLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT -
On Wednesday evening last about six
o'clock, a terrible accident befel a young
man ,Cmed Robert Sellick employed
at the Penna. rolling mill which re-
suited in his instantaneous death. His
business was to oil the machinery. He
was in the act of oiling the large crown
wheel which. drives the 'sque 3zer' where
itjoins pinion about Is inches in dame
ter, when his foot slipped and his arm
being caught by the cogs, his body was
carried through between the two wheels
grinding.his breast and arm into pu)py
mass. Underneath the crown wheel
some iron keys protrude these caught
the unfortunate man about the stomach
as he passed through the wheel and tore
his entrails out. The whole accident
occurred so suddenly that the victim had
not time to cry out. 1t was the most
horrible and sickening accident we
have ever had to chronicle. Mr. Sellick
was an Englishman by birth, aged about
81 years, a single man. He was soldier,
in the last war, had visited England
since and had not been long employed
at the Penna. works. The Superinten-
dent of the mill, Mr.. Ridgway, spoke of
him to us as having been young man
of fine moral character, honest, upright
and industrious and much liked by his
fellow workmen who much deplore his
sudden taking otf.--DanUHle MtelH-

HARPER's PERIODICALS.
HARPER's MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys OF
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
ditfuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
eddy more popular magazine in the world
