gave Sections 4, 5, and g.
And it shall he unlawful for any
person at any time to catch by snare or
trap any quail or Virginia partridge" !"
And for which the following penalty is
laid down in Sec. 8.
= = And any person offending against
any of the foregoing provisions of this
act, shall be find in any sum not less

FIVE dollars for each offense, on convic =

Now all those who are SO ticklish on

quail at any time or place, in fact it is
directly contrary to law, as we have
shown. Therefore it is unnecessary to
build any more traps. SNAP SHOT.

Tain't every man that can be a poet,
No more than sheep can be a goat;
The great, the small when they advertise
Write lines that rhyme, and each one
tries,
To make you believe what poets write;
Will all be true, whether sober or tight,
That the panic in dry goods in this town
Was caused by the man who put prices
down.
1t was Parson Drake who first in the
Press,
Told the girls where to get the cheapest
dress;
Tall Thomas instanter got muchly scar
ed,
And soon he, the other Merchants dared
To sell goods cheaper than he could do,
Was something that the people never
knew,
And very politely he'd bow to all
Whether ladies, or gents, great, or small
A man appeared who looked like ghost
And advertised goods fer A. r. Host;
Said goods were cheaper than ever be-
fore
Were known in any Somerset Store,
The rest of the Merchants will surely
see,
That Yost means business, and intends
to be,
The foremost man in the dry goods line,
And says that Bald Head is his sign.
Now why such fuss about few men,
scarcely can see why they should pre-
tend
To sell goods cheaper in this big town,
When prices of every thing else is down,
i i. R1 Iov
ever
And the gents who sell them are very
clever.
On coming to town you can surely see,
Where the best, and cheapest goods will
be-
There's place in town where drugs are
sold
Where people fosk in when they have 6
cold;
To buy Syrups, Liniments. and Sugar
Pills
That they may be cured of all their ills
And the man who sells is S. H. Skinner
Who was kept so busy that he missed
his dinner,
He says he Is willing to do without hash
If people will only bring him the cash
He sells the best soaps that can he found
In this or any other town around,
The incest selection of Paper Collars,
Wall Paper too, for the fewest dollars
Paints, Oils, and Varnishes, both thick
and thin
Carbon Oil cheap, with Lamp wicks
thrown in,
All kinds of Brushes, both large and
small,
If you don't believe it, give him call
The Merchants that prosper must ad-
vertise
And the people will see with great sur
prise,
How cheap they can buy the goods they
will need
1t will make them happy; it will indeed
Now do come forward with all youl
rhymes
That you may prosper in these dull
times,
And all who want good news to possess
just advertise in the Somerset Press.

Obituary.

Sarah J. Hammer was born March
18th, 1888, in Knox county, Ohio, and
died November 18th, 1874, near Sego,
Perry county, Ohio, being in her thirty
seventh year when she passed away.
Her maiden name was Daymude, and
she was united in marriage with Mr..
David Hammer November 4th, 1869.
Sister Hammer united with the NJ.
F. Church, and was converted under the
labors of the Rev. r. w. Manley, some
eight years ago. Mrs. Hammer was
good woman: she loved the church and
means Of grace, and whenever she was
able she would be present to enjoy the
services of Gods house. She was quite
sick at the time of our last Quarterly
Meeting at Zion, and the day following
we were at her home, and administered
to her and some friends the sacrament of
the Lords supper, which she enjoyed
very much, and assured US that she was
fully trusting in Christ her Saviour.
With other friends, she leaves husband
and one child to mourn their loss.

To the ChiIcOte Heirs.

With pleasure 1 can state to my nu-
merous constituency-the Chilcote heirs
that our investigation of the claim in
Baltimore is assuming an aspect which
is more promising than the most SAN
guine anticipated. Not only do we in
herit the lands left by John Chilcote,
which amounts to over 100 acres princi-
pally in the city, but by examination of
the Orphan Court Records and Admin
istration accounts, we find James died
intestate, leaving over 10 acres of land
in several tracts which is very valuable,
and of which we will take pleasure in
describing in a future Pumber of the
Somerset Press.
