The editor Of the Danvlle HteHigencer last
week refers to the time when he ran against the
favorite of the COLUMBIAN and its clique and
beat them over five hundred votes in their own
county" The Mtelligencer man knows that the
COLUMBIAN took no part in the contest for rep
resenative, at the time referred to, and that
the election was of an unusual nature, owing
to the fact that many Columbia County voters
had formed the opinion that the candidate
properly belonged to Montour. Under these
circumstances the doughty editor obtained the
victory Of which he boasts-and WHICH is a
very small matter to boast of. There is not
much danger that the gigantic intellect of Mon
tours political old-man-oi-the-Sea will be over
valued in this or his own community

Michael Grover, Sheriff of this County, died
on Sunday evening last ut about nine o'clock,
Of inflammation of the lungs, after an illness of
two weeks. 1t is probable that Mr.. Growers
exposure and hard work whilst attending to
tie duties of his office were the couses which
Ted to his death. The labors of the Sheriff have
been very largely increased during the past
year and the open winter has been prolific OF
diseases of the lungs. Mr.. Grover we believe
has striven honestly to administer the affairs of
his Office and his death after so short an i'll
ness will cause much grief to his large circle of
friends. Our sympathies are with his family
in this hour Of their sorrow. Mr.. Grover was
aged 80 years, months and 8 days.
The funeral took place on Wednesday. Ser
vices were held at the Sherifis house in this
town, the sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. Nc
Cron. The body was then taken to Miilin-
vile, where other services were held Mr..
Steck preached in German and DIR. McCron in
English. There was very large attendance

There is probably no man to whom the
community owe so much as to the honest,
fair-spoken physician, who does his actual
duty both to himself and to his patients.
Really skillful physicians are not so numer-
Gus that their virtues need no mention
and hence the advertisement of DR.. r. "
Pierce, of Buffalo, may well claim the rea-
ders attention. DIR. Pierce is type of
class of men who obtain success by careful
and well-directed effort, not attempting too
much, or creating false ideas as to ability
The only reliable physician now living is
the Specialist" the man who understands
his one branch Of the business. Such in his
line is DIR. Pierce. For the benefit of his
readers he has written Common Sense
Medical Adviser" which is well worth rea.
ding by those who need such work. With
strict business honor, high professional skill,
reasonable fees, and large corps of compe-
tent assistants, DIR. Pierce will doubtless
make his name familiar as "household
words "-,S. Louis Globe.

One J. B. Phillips proposes to send to the
Centennial a cheese which will weigh about
10000 pounds. The Titusvile Corier's arth-
metcal editor gives some figures to show how
big a job Mr.. Phillips has undertaken. He
says;
The rule is that it requires nearly ten pounds
this for basis it will require 100000 pounds
of milk to make this mammoth cheese. Allow
ing that the average dairy COW will produce
forty pounds of milk per day (Which is over
estimated) it will require the milk from 1850
cows for one day. \ thousand barrels of milk
in one cheese. Cheese it.

The Lancaster hteHiyencer says that the pota-
to bug scare has begun, but thinks there is small
cause for it as ''good farmers are now 80 well
acquainted with the habits of the potato bug
and with the best manner of getting rid of it
inc from that quarter"
But are they? As far as we have any knowl-
edge no remedy against this pest has been found
except Paris green and that has been found to
be poisonous and not quite safe to handle. If
the Lancaster farmers have dead sure thing
on potato bugs it would be a blessing to publish
it for the benefit of less fortunate agricultur-
lists

ALMOST BIG FrRE.--A few days ago Dam
iel Snyder and family started away on visit.
Some article having been forgotten, one of the
the family went back after it, and smelling
some smoke made search for fire. At last on
opening closet door in which was box, con-
tanning a coal bucket and some loose papers, it
was discovered to be on fire. The box and pa
pers were consumed, and the flooring went
through. Prompt action put out the fire. The
lucky return lone saved this fine residence.
1t is supposed to have been caused by Mr..
Snyder's throwing a lighted match among the
loose papers instead of in the coal bucket.
