Those using Pain. Killer should strictly
observe the following directions
AT the commencement of the disease.
take teaspoonfu of Pain Killer, in sugar
and water, and then bathe freely across
the stomach and bowels with the Pain
Killer clear. Should the diarahea and
cramp continue. repeat the dose every fif-
teen minutes. In this way the dreadful
scourge may be checked and the patient re-
lieved in the course of few hours
N. B.--Be sure and get the genuine ar
tice; and it is recommended by those who
have used the PainKiller for the cholera,
That IN extreme cases the patient take two
Tor more) teaspoonfuls instead of one.
The Pain Killer is sold by all the Drug
gists aud Dealers in Family Medicines.

GEN. Cameron, chairman Of the Foreign
Relations committee had an interview with
the President, and expressed satisfaction at
the preparation made by the government to
meet any emergency that might arise. He
informed the President that he had no Con-
gress would indorse the administration in
all that has been done, and should Spain
refuse to make proper reparation he is of
opinion that Congress will authorize a de-
claration of war. Mr. Cameron is of opin-
ion that affairs look rather serious, and he
will not be surprised if we have war with
Spain.

THIEVES ABOUND. On Wednesday
night last, about nine O'Clock, while Sam
uel Henry and A. Russell, Jr., were stand
ing near the home of the former, some noise
attracted their attention at the barn at the
rear, when, procuring lantern, they pro-
ceeded to reconnoitre. On approaching
the barn, some person burst the door open
on the opposite side, and hurried away.
On examination, a fine set of harness was
found removed. to he carried away, but
dropped by the thief or thieves in their
hurry to escape. We make note of this
to put persons on their guard, as these
kind of depredations have become quite
common.
Another danger we might mention,
comes from tramps, who crawl into barns
at night for lodgings. While some of these
may not steal, they often commit greater
destruction by means of their smoking
pipes, which they almost invariably carry
with them. While taking Whit they
often set the barn on fire, 1t would he well
for each farmer, before retiring for the
night, to take n secure lantern and make
thorough examination of his barn to sec
if any of these loafers are domiciled therein
and hustle them off to other quarters.

FOK THE "AMERICAN. |

Mr.. EDIIOR 1t is a great mistak} to
suppose the Convention intended or wish.
ed to restore the State tax on real estate.
1t declared that certain public properly
should be exempt from taxation; such as
public school houses, court houses, Jals,
poor houses, property OF the State and ma
tiOn, churches and grave yards. and chari-
table institutions owned by the State or
any City or County. Al present there is
vast amount of property exempt from
taxation, owned by private associations.
Such property is not assessed, at the trien-
NAL assessment, and does not pay tax for
any purpose. This kind Of property has
been exempted frolu the payment Of taxes
by special laws passed to meet each parti-
cular case. 1t is these laws, and none
other, the convention declared null and
void.
| Every acre of land in the State will be
assessed this fall, on which a county, school
road, city and borough tax will be levied
/ The Legislature repealed the State tax on
real estate a few years ago, but the repeal
/ ing act did not exempt land from taxation
| The State relinquished the tax because she
did not need it, out real estate is still La
| BILE to pay State tax whenever the aeces-
sites of the Commonwealth require 1t. 1t
/ is not exempt. If so it could not be assess
ed for any purpose.
| The new Constitution declares, certain
laws, exempting particular kind of pro-
perty from taxation, null and void, but il
does not re-enact any law, on the subject
of taxation, that has been repealed. After
such protraeted contest as the Conyen-
tion had in curbing the inordinate powers
of corporations, it is absurd TO suppose it
would release them from taxation and i'm
pose it on real estate. THAT is NOT TO
! BE FOUND IN THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
The articles on corporations and railroads
and canals, are of great value to the peo-
pie, and it will be great calamity to lose
them by voting against the Constitution.

STRANGE FREAK OF AN OLD WOMAN.
About three months ago, the wife Of
Daniel Kessler, of Middlecreek township,
this county, without saying word to any
one as to her intentions, bundled up her
best clothes and took all her own money
and small sum of her husbands money,
and then started off on the public road to-
wards Middleburg, saying as she left the
house, ut will be good while before you
will see me again" Il appears that not
the best feeling prevailed between the old
folks some times, and that about the time
she left her feelings had been ruffied for
some reason or other, and was the imme-
date cause of her departure Every effort
has since been made to ascertain her where
abouts but without avail nor can any one
be found who has seen her since or who
saw her at the time she departed She was
woman probably 60 or 60 years of age,
and raised family of children all grown up.
Her strange disappearance is strange mys-
terry, indeed. Selinsg"oue Times.
