Mayor Pilsbury has answered the con-
undrum propounded by the REPUBLICAN
by his veto of the ordinance to pay
Sheriff Houston's bill at sixty cents. His
reason for this is that act No. 60 of March
2, 1S76-the same promulgated by Secre-
tary Honore-only allows the sheriff
thirty cents, and even though it was not
promulgated before that date, considers
that the Council should obey its pro-
visions prescribing its time Of operation
should commence December l, 1876.
Mayor Pilsbury is right in recognizing the
existence of law, but what will his party
say?

Questions Answered.

Inquiries are becoming so pumer-
Gus and varied that many of them we
have not the time nor the talent TO
answer We have therefore chosen a
philosopher to whom such questions
are referred and he answers when he
gets ready. Here are few:
An inquirer from the north part of
the State wants to know if there is
any truth in the story "that the moon
is made of green cheese?" This mat
ter has never been fully decided. If
the moon is made of green cheese, we
presume the man in the moon made
it from the Milky Way.
"INho was Davy Crockett? and
what were his chief characteristics %
David Crockett was a back-woods-
man, and a statesman. His chief
characteristic was TO grin. Davy
had the best collection of grins in
America. He once grinned bear
down tree, but never could invent a
grin that would grin one up a tree.
This was sad blow 10 Davy, and is
probably what brought his gray hairs
in sorrow to the grave.

UNFAIR.
70 the Editor of the HERALD:

To the Editor of the HERALD:
Not long since you published the apportion-
ment of the tax to the several towns in the
county arranged by Mr.. Kidd for the year
1876, and asked the people to inspect it. Hav-
ing looked the matter all over carefully, ex-
amned the school code clearly, allowed every
construction to be put on the law as is pro~
vided (see laws of 1870, page Ill, Sec. go to
meet the salary Of County Superintendent,
my construction is that the County Board of
Supervisors shall ascertain the amount of
county school tax for the year. Then they
shall add to this whatever the salary of the
Superintendent may be; likewise the amount
necessary to defray the printing expenses.
Then apportion the amount among the several
towns, according to their tax valuation, to de.
fray county expenses. The way the thing now
stands, as the figures show, Patch Grove is
paying county tax to the amount of$709. 3,
and pays to defray the expenses of the School
Superintendent, $2l.l2. The town of Wya-
lusing pays a county tax to the amount OF
1857 IS, and pays to defray expenses of
School Superintendent, $22 .20-1.08 more
than Patch Grove and only pays about one
hall as much county tax as Patch Grove.
Wyausing has not as many school districts as
Patch Grove; the latter having eight school
districts, one graded school with two or three
teachers, and Wyalusing having seven dis
tricts The school Superintendent hardly if
ever comes to the town Of Wyalusing. Patch
Grove receives full share of his duties as he
holds his examinations there Now what is
wanted is to know in what way the amount Of
the School Spperintcndent's salary is appor-
toned among the several towns !? Is it be-
cause we are poor, have more children and
less school houses, we pay unfair and not
equal taxes? ID.

Who shall be our next Governor P

1t is understood that those who fix
up tickets for the people to vote for,
have arranged slate for the fall cam
paign. We are not advised of the
names Of all the gentlemen who have
the happiness to have had their names
fixed upon for coming honors, but we
understand that the present Governor
is to be pushed for a denomination, at
all points. Before that is done it will
be well to consider his chances for
reelection, and whether there is not
some man in the State whose name
will give greater assurance of success
and who will be better representa-
tive of the best interests of the party.
We do not intend to say anything uu.
kind of Gov. Ludington but we must
not shut our eyes to existing facts.
When he was before the people in
1875 he was studiously silent on all
questions. The State has been and
then was engaged in controversy to
determine the rights of the people in
connection with railroads, and the
whole matter was then pending in the
courts. We are ready to accede to
Gov. Taylor the praise of having
done his best to enforce the law de.
fining the duties and obligations of
the railroads and people, and under
a case that went from our State the
Supreme Court has now set the ques-
ton at rest. and the rights of parties
are now well understood and defined.
The enemies of the Republican party
have nothing to say against Governor
Ludington now. They think his
nomination is one of the things fore-
ordained and determined. But when
he is once squarely placed upon our
ticket the old "gorge will rise" Will
they not then tell us that Coy. Lud-
ington in his Inaugural message went
squarely back on the people who
elected him and demanded the legis-
lation by which the rights of the peo-
pie have been so satisfactorily defined
by the Supreme Court? Are there
not Republicans who were deeply ag.
grieyed by this action of the Govern
or, and is it not safe to say that had
he publicly delivered the sentiments
of his message two weeks before
election he would have been defeated?
Is this forgotten or is it laid away
for reserve fire, waiting for an oppor-
tun;ty? If these questions may be
answered afirmatively we may be
forearmed by being forewarned.
1t is not charge ICE lay
at his door. We are simply raising
the question. Is he our strongest
man-on election day, not on con-
vention day?

To the Editor of the HERALD:
Several weeks since the above arti-
Gle appeared in the columns of your
paper and | should have given it at
tention at once had not other BUSH
ness prevented.
ID refers to the law which reads,
"The Board or Supervisors of each
county shall, when they levy the
county school tax for each year, add
thereto and apportion among the
towns. cities and villages Of said
county,"
Apportion how? The Attorney Gen
eral says, I'm the same manner as the
school fund.- which is made to the
respective towns in which public
schools have been maintained the
number of months prescribed by law
< according to the number of chill
dren in each town over the age of 4
and under the age of 20 years" Al

The State and county tax is based
upon The valuation of property; the
County School and County Superin-
tendent's salary upon the number of
scholars. I have before me the Coun-
ty superintendent report, from
which it appears that Wyalusing had
$50 scholars and Patch Grove 336,
Now, if your correspondent will make
the proper application of the law to
the figures above given, think they
will not be found disproportionate and

is answered by I" more schools and
that the value of property aud "less

Life Insurance.
Another life insurance company
has gone up. The american Popu-
lar" company organized for TAX
ing graded risks, passed into the
bands of the state committee, and
most frightfnl degree of rottenness
was shown. False enteries, false
swearing, false everything was de-
veloped, aud the officers are to b.
prosecuted. 1t is TO be hoped the
law can reach these swindlers, and
that a life insurance president can be
added to the states collection of
criminal curiosities. The good CON-
panies are suffering from these ex-
poses, but they are nevertheless glad.
1t will injnre the interests for q
time. but it will be the better for the
really good ones when confidence il
finally restored, as all the frauds will
be out OF the way. They will not be
exposed to the unhealthy eompetl-
ton of the frauds, who never expect
to pay and can therefore do BUSINESS
for nothing.
How They Live.
There are at the present time one
hundred thousand men in the city of
New York who live, somehow, with
out labor. They are nuisances 10
the worst sense OF the term, for every
mouthfc that goes down their
throats is paid for by some one else.
They make no pretence of work, but,
filthy and impudent, they stand on
the streets and beg for charity, when
they lack an opportunity to steal
safely. You see them everywhere
on the streete, the Offices and stores
are invested with them, each with
his story of "family to support, and
no work. sor," and curse if you re-
| fnse them And there are as many
women SIS men, and more children
than either, engaged In the same
calling. Women will sit by the hour
on curb. stones, with sleeping child,
it's rags SO displayed as TO excite
sympathy the child, be it known,
drugged with laudanum to keep it
quiet, and sores artistically painted
on it's little arms and legs to attract
attention. These children are 10
most cases not their own, but are
leased to them by the day,by women
who make business of collecting
them and renting them out. Then
comes the vast army of men, women
and children who have small articles
| like pencils, pins. aud matches for
sale, which is only another form of
begging, for the articles are sach as
nobody wants and the cffer to sell is
always an appeal to charity. "Please
buy q pencil, and help poor man
who has no work and large family

God, buy q paper ov pins and help a
moor woman who bez six small child

Knowledge is Power.


This is nation of enlightened freemen.
Education is the cornerstone and foundation
of our government. The people are free to
think and act for themselves, and that they
NAV act wisely it is necessary that they be
well informed. Every Individual gain ln~
creases the prosperity of a nation, BY it every
value is increased, every joy enhanced. Health
is essential to the accomplishment of every
purpose; while sickness thwarts the best in.
tentions and loftest aims. Unto us are COM
mitted important health trusts, which we hold
not merely in our own behalf but for the ben
eft of others. In order that we may be able
to discharge the obligation of our trusteeship
and thus prove worthy of our generous COM
mission, it is necessary that we study the art
of preserving health and prolonging life. 1t is
Of paramount Importance to every person not
only to understand the means for the preser.
walton of health, but also to know what reme-
dies should be employed for the alleviat ion of
the common ailments of life. Not that we
would advise man under all circumstances to
attempt to be his own physician, but we en-
treat him to acquire sufficient knowledge of
his system and the laws that govern it, that
he may be prepared to take care of himself
properly, and thereby prevent sickness and
prolong life. Ia no textbook will the people
find the subjects of physiology and hygiene, or
the science of life and the art of preserving
health, more scientifically discussed or more
plainly taught than in The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser, by R. v Pierce, NJ D.,
of Buffalo, n. Y. 1t is a volume of over nine
hundred large pages, illustrated by over two
hundred and eighty-two engravings and colored
plates is elegantly bound in cloth and gilt, and
sent, postpaid to any address by the author
at the low price of one dollar and fifty cents
copy. Nearly one hundred thousand copies
have already been sold and the present edi-
ton, which is revised and enlarged and more
especially adapted to the wants of the family,
is selling very rapidly. 1t treats of all the
common diseases and their remedies, as well
as of anatomy, physiology, hygiene, human
tcmperaments, and many other topics of great
interest to all people. and is truly what its
author styles it, Medicine Simplifed.
