The Journal of Chemistry says
that hot alumwater is the best
insect destroyer known. Put the
alum into hot water and let it boil
till all the alum is dissolved; then
apply it hot with a brush to all
cracks, closets, bedsteads and other
places, where any insects are found.
Ants, bedbugs cockroaches and
creeping things are killed by it;
while there is no danger of poison
ing the family or injuring property.

BY MONA"
Forth from its scabbard pure and bright
Flashed the sword of Leel
Far in the front of the deadly fight,
High DER the brave in the cause of right,
Its stinless shield as beacon light,
Led us to victory.
Out of its scabbard, where full long
1t slumbered peacefully
Reused from its rest the battle song,
Shielding the feeble, shifting the strong,
Guarding the right and avenging the wrong,
Cleaned the sword of Lee! fa
Forth from its scabbard high in air
Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who saw it cleaning there,
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear
That where that sword led they would dare
TO follow and to die.
Out Of its scabbard Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free.
Nor purer sword led Drawer band,
Nor Drawer bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had cause as grand,
Nor cause a chief like Lee!
Forth from its scabbard! How We prayed
That sword might victor be-
And when our triumph was delayed,
And many heart grew sore afraid,
We still hoped on, while cleaned the blade
Of noble Robert Lee!
Forth from it's scabbard All in vain!
Forth flashed the sword of Lee!
It's shrouded now in its sheath again,
1t sleeps the sleep of the noble slain,
Defeated, yet without stain,
Proudly and peacefully.

TURNPIKE RIOT.

The toll gate at the east end of the
! Narrows between this and Union
county, on the Youngmanstown
Aaronsburg and Old Fort Turnpike
was the scene of a serious riot last
week. The toll house is occupied by
a Mr.. Holloway, who it appears was
permitted to remain one month from
April. 1st, last, conditionally, or in
other words if satisfactory to the
company for that period could re-
main longer, if not to quit then.
Not proving satisfactory it was re-
solved that change should be made.
Mr.. Holloway refused to move out
of the house and thus the mat ter
stood until last week Mr.. Yearick,
the company's new man, was moved
down.
He was not permitted to move in
to the gate house, when another
place was secured for him but also
was frightened off from moving into
that. The company secured the SER
vice of some fifteen men and went
down on Thursday to eject the tenant
and got possession of the house.
Mr.. Holloway had quite a number
of his friends there helping him to
guard his place for several days, but
it so happened that at the hour these
men came there that there were but
some four men on guard.
The party inside was armed with
guns, revolvers and clubs.
Admittance being refused the
cOmpanY's men forced an entrance,
and then took place a terrible fight,
the parties clubbing each other, but
the ejecting party proved too strong
and cleared the premises, removing
the goods out of the house and plac-
ed in the new man. Revolvers were
flourished freely and one of the
Turnpike men was wounded in the
head by pistol shot, an accidental
discharge of weapon by one of his
own party. 1t appears as result of
the vigorous blows administered by
the cOmbatants that number were
considerably bruised.
Mr.. Holloway has brought suit,
we understand, against the parties.

Dear EOlit0r:-It IS scource of
great pleasure to me to learn that
full and ample arrangements have
been concluded to convey our people
to LewisbUrg on August 18th to join
with the people of Union County in
celebrating their annual Harvest
Home exercises. Again it is graft
flying to me to know that the people
of Union County take great interest
and pleasure i'm our coming. They
extended cordial invitation to our
people on the 4th inst. and since, to
be present on this occasion. In view
of the celebration and preparations
for our people to join, what do the
people of this county intend to do !?
Do they purpose to ignore the invi-
tation, to forego the festivities of
this day trust not and finally
hope that the subsequent accounts
of the joyous event will prove that
our people manifested great interest,
were present Ill large numbers and
that the celebration as joint affair
was a grand success.
They Joined us in celebrating the
Fourth and bv reason or their unit
ing with us, 1t WAS grand success;
we therefore owe it to them as well
as TO ourselves to retuan the com
pliment- 1t is fact that our agri-
CULTURAL population are not much
given 60 celebrate holidays or festive
events, therefore we say, can not
one day be given TO pleasure We
have too few days of recreation. 1t
is a fitting and Appropriate event for
the season, the period of harvesting
being over, oar barns are we'll filled,
evidence of plenteOuS harvest and
to Him from whom proceeds all that
is for the welfare Of mankind let all
the praise be aScriGed. ~
