On the first Tuesday of May Mrs.
b. +. Eaton of this place planted some
sweet corn, and on the 9th of July fol-
lowing she cooked n supply from that
planting. Who has done better?-My-
fnb,Wg Telegraph.
Why, the woman who eats it after it
is cooked, of course. We have often
done better than Mrs. Eaton ourseIf,
and'1fc only wee bit of Il man.
"A we'll dressed man is going about
the country claiming to be deeply i'll
terested in the cause of temperance. He
calls at farm house, presents a pledge
for the farmer to sign, and when this
is done produces another card, similar
in appearance, to which he also desires
that the signature be affixed, sin order
to keep a correct memorandum of mis-
work" The second card is sight
note for any amount the Swindler may
see fit to demand. Look out for him.

We have before us, gotten up in
best style, the catalogue of Pennsyl-
vania State College for lS79-S0. We
doubt not that the Pennsylvania is a
first class general college, besides max
ing speciaEties of Agriculture and
kindred sciences. The institution in
an eminent degree deserves the conf
dence and patronage of the public.
156 students attend the college proper
and preparatory department, represent
ing twelve different states.
The Pennsylvania State College is
fortunate in having secured for its new
President Joseph Shortlidge, A. NJ, a
native of Chester county, Pa, and for
over % years successful teacher,
mostly us principal of Academic ms
titutions. He comes TO the College
from Maplewood Institute, Delaware
county, Pa, and takes charge at one.
The people of Pennsylvania should
send their sons and daughter to this
College, where they can be as well ed
ucated as in the more expensive col
legeS of the East. Fall session opens
August 27th' Tuition free. Send for
analogue to Business Manager, State
College, Cantre Co., Pa.
We were very much gratitied oy-
er the letter of Mr.. Shoemaker, which
is found in another column, and feel
sure that many of our readers will feel
equally interested in it. Mr.. Shoemlk-
er might Iitly he called a mdtred 5nd;a
-"gar,''- without the "feld" we
hope)-as the German expresssgely
puts it, and his observations aYe no
doubt thorough-his estimates and
conclusions just and proper. Such a
mans advice is worthy of confidence.
He seems to be wei. satisfied with Kan
sas for himself, hut does not want eY-
erybOdy to rush out there helter SHELTER,
regardless of circumstances and often
too probable consequences. Such letters
as Mr.. Shoemaker'S are profitable read
ing.
-TIGHT END, which means the
western end of Union county along the
rail road, is fast becoming a favorite
pleasure resort-a good place to go land
keep cool during the heated term. Lots
of people from Mifllinburg, Lewisburg,
Harrisburg and other places, spend four
six weeks each summer at this shady,
cool retreat. But scould not a regular
summer resOrt-watering place, or
whatever else the name, be established
right i'll the midst of the mountains,
say at Fowler? Nature has right there
so lavishly provided all the elements
for an institution of this kind, and all
that is lacking to utilize them for the
pleasure and comfort of mankind, IS a
little capital and enterprise. Nodoubt
the project would pay.
On Monday Aug. End Mr.: D. L.
Zerby will open subscription school,
