THE following taken from the Interna
Z R6Ueaue Record and Custom Journal in
relation TO the liability ofdruggists as liquor
dealers, will be interesting in view of the
present phase Of the Temperance agitation.

WASHINGTON, May 4, 1874
Join u. Sullioda, Esq. Collector. Tioentg-
third, District, Allegheny City, Pa.
Sin / reply TO your letter of the 9th
ult respecting the liability of Druggists
TO special tax as liquor dealers. That the
law imposing a special tax upon Apothe-
carries as such and making a limited ex-
ception in their favor with regard to the
sales of~ines and distilled spirits, in guam
titles not exceeding half pint at one time,
etc, was repealed by the act of June 14th
1870, section /, taking effect May 1st 1871.
Apothecaries and Druggists are now,
and they have been since that date. pre-
cisely on the same footing as other parties.
with regard 20 the sale of wine and distil-
led spirits.
The law imposes a special tax upon
every person who sells, OF offers for sale,
distilled spirits OF wines in any quantity
ior any purpose. Act of April 10th 1863,
section lst amended by act of June 9th,
1872, section l3). Every such person even
II he sells only on the prescriptions of phy-
siclans, is technically a liquor dealer
tSeries 9 No, 4, page %. paragraph la.)
Its held, however, that the sale Of ar
ticles containing wines or distilled spirits
which cannot be used as a beverage, or of
mixtures put up as medicines. and bearing
the proper United States proprietary stamps
according TO the provisions of schedule c.
does not involve a liability TO special tax.

A FEARFUL STORM A fearful storm
of rain and hail with thunder and vivid
lightning passed over this place about four
O'Clock Monday afternoon. The haiIstones
were the largest we ever witnessed here,
some being as large as a walnut. John
Shaffer, a boy aged 10 years. and man
named Isaac Culin were unloading o wag-
on of brick at the new house Of H. A.
Boggs, Esq, on Court street, and were
working very fast in hopes of getting done
before the srorm, which was then apparent,
would open. The storm, however, burst
upon them and they unhitched the horses
the man getting on one of them to take
them to shelter and telling the boy to
run into T. G.. Stewart and Co. s wholesale
grocery store. When they got about the
middle of Main street, the storm ragged in
that particular locality with fearful fury,
the horses became unmanageble, and the
boy fell into the gutter. The man jumped
from the horse and picked the boy up,
and carried him into the store, when ii
was discovered that his life was almost cx-
tinct. His pulse ceased TO beat a couple of
minutes after he was taken into the store.
Everything that the gentlemen about the
establishment could do, was done to revive
him, but all without avail. He is son of
Mr. Henry Shaffer of the Sixth ward. and
was nm Industrious boy.
The hail broke a number of window
glass in all parts of the city, several having
been broken in the composing room of this
office. Two large trees on the Kernville
hill were shattered to pieccs.-JohRs.0a5B

The Louisville Courier Jourlsal has the
following sensible remarks regarding the
management of newspaper
Some people estimate the ability Of u
newspaper and the talent of IFS editor by
the quantity of original matter. 1t is conf
paratively an easy task for q frothy writer
to pour out daily column of words
words upon any or ali subjects. His ideas
may flow in one weak, washy, everlasting
flood, and the command of his language
may enable him to string them together
like punches of onions, and yet his pape
may be meager and poor concern. In
deed, the mere writing part of editing a
paper is but small portion of the work.
The care, the time employed in selecting,
is far more important and the tact OF a
good editor is better shown by his selec-
tions than anything else and that, we
know, is halfthe battle. But, as we have
said. an editor ought TO be estimated and
his labor understood and appreciated by the
general conduct of his paper-its tone
its uniform consistent course, IFS aims,
manliness, its dignity and its propriety.
To preserve these as they should be pre-
served is enough to occupy fully the time
and attention of any man. If TO this be
added the general supervision of the news
paper establishment, which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder is how they
find time to write at all.

THE Beaver Argus and Radical says
Mrs. Lyon, relict of the late james Lyon
of Beaver, was ninety two years of age
last Saturday She resides in this place,
and has wonderful mental powers for one
of her age. She came to Beaver first in
1879, and in 1901 she became a permanent
resident of the town. She has lived here
ever since and nothing gratiies her more
than to meet with some one near her own
age and with whom she can converse
about circumstances which transpired three
or four score years ago. Mrs. Lyon is in
good health, and with the exception of her
eyesight, is in possession ofall Of her facul-
ties

THE old adage, Charity begins at
home, should be applied in its broa5est
sense. Do not crowd il all into the S0ace
Of your own narrow heart, nor into your
own household. You get your support
from the community in which you live /;
let that community therefor be made
strong by your Strength: for the strength
you give it makes il only stronger for the
support OF those who constitute its mem.
bers, of which you are one. Buy at home,
support and recommend home enterprises.
Spend not time and money TO 90 abroad to
buy. if you even can save a few pennies
by so doing nor give your money TO NOV
ing characters that go through the country
with all kinds of ware. Speak never dis
paragingly ofyour neighborS when abroad.
Every community is a stock concern, in
which every citizen is a stakeholder. Let
all try TO keep the stock up. Speak well
every one Of his neighbor
