THE CHANGEFuL TEMPER
weather has been exceedingly Gcklc
within the past few days, changing rap
idly from the temperate to the fri yll.

extremes of heat and cold rs hero, ppp-

tits said that human life lacks that IT,
Iacity which it possesses during the
seasons, and that there is an absence ol

very essence of vitality. Here il is even
more essential TO be guarded aEliu,t

been favored with during the p'.t week
A SHARPER DtsArPoiNrED.-Last week
Col. VIM. Willis, of this place was in
attendance at Court at MiddlChurg.
Snyder county. On Friday morning II
telegram came from that place, signed
with Gel. Willis's nainC, requesting
Cashier Robcson to forward dinmCli.tc-
ly by express 5000 to Scllusgrovc. The
money was promptly forwarded, and Il
stranger rs promptly called iur it NJ the
fcinsgroye express oiii i'c but lust
there the trick failed. The Express
agent, as in duty bound. required the
party calling for the money to be
identified first. This rs mrttcr of
course, the caller could not do, because
he was not Col. Willis. When the Col
returned home ON saturday he was sur
prsed To leIln that his good numc had
been counterlcitcd but fortunately it
resulted in no loss to anybody, though,
no doubt, the disappointment of the
rascal who tried this means of raising
the wind" was sprcat.-Lewistown TiW

BURNING THE BRIDGEs.-It will bo soon
in the extraordinary advertisement we
publish this week. from the giant
ClOthiers, Mcssrs. Wanamaker& Brown
of Oak Hall, Philadelphia, that thcy
have set their pegs so far IN advance of
all former years, as to make it mecca
sary, metnphorically, "to burn thr
bridges behind them" Hcnccforth
this great house is pledged to sell for
cash alone to mark down their stock
at figures representing the very small
per cent. demanded by II strictly CASH
trade (; to label every garment with the
name and character of its material and
the one, only price for which il can bc
bought; to furnish the customer Il
signed Guarantee, upon which, if for
any reason he is dissatisfied with his
purchase, he can return it within 10
days, and receive back hismoncy. Nuiht
TetrOrSim 'no step backwards" now for

Sixth and Market Streets,
TREsPAssING. 1t is supposed by
some persons that il is necessary for
farmers and others to advertise that
cunning and hunting is forbidden on
their lands. The act of April ., 1890
provides that if any person or persons
shall presume to hunt or carry n gun
on any inclosed or improved lands of
any inhabitants of this State, without
permission of the owner, or shall there
Of be convicted before any Justice of
the peace, he shall for every such Of
fense, forfeit the sum of forty shillings.
This act the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, in the case of Com. vs.. deci-
ded, Nay II, 1869, to be still in force.
and that offenders may be summariy
convicted, upon information laid be-
fore any Justice of the Peace Far
mers are not obliged to advertise, but
II is well to do so, as it saves the annoy
ance of resorting TO legal proceedings
in many cases, because hunters will
know that hunting will not he permit
ted on their properties, and will, there
fore, give their premises wide berth.
THANKsGIvING DAy.-This, truthful
ly remarks the Pheaoiogicai Journal, is
the season for giving thanks. The har-
vests are gathered in, and we are roa-
dy for the purifying powers of the frost.
The beautiful snow" will also soon be
here, and farmers teamsters, ska
tiers, and school-boys will be thankful
for this. We are on the brink, dear
reader, of 1874. Soon we shall step
over into the new. Already the world
is giving thanks for blessings prospect
i've. Thanks for 'life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiAess," as the decara-
tion hath it. Thanks for peace, plenty
and prosperity. Yea thanks for exis-
tence, II is blessed thing to live
