Some people effect to believe that an oati
administered by person not an officer o
the law, Is not binding on the individua
who has taken the oath. Such belief is
mistake. The moral obligation of an oatl

or thousand laws of human legislative en-
actment.
We are in receipt Of two magnificent life
size pictures, one OF Garfield, the other Of
Arthur. We wish We could mention the

better taken, and such workman should
become generally known. Thomas W. Price

the sole agents for the sale of the picture:
in the Middle and Southern States. Write
to them for particulars.
While bringing the cows from pasture, a
few evenings ago, copperhead snake struck
its fangs into the leg of little daughter
OF Benjamin Long, of Susquehanna town.
ship. The limb and body of the child were
greatly swollen, and for u while the life OF
the ehild was considered as good as gone.
The latest report, however, says that there
is hope of a speedy recovery.
Garfield is a consistent man. When he
was in the field, as brave soldier. he gave
his moral influence in favor of the party
that he fought for, namely, the free party of
the North. He did not shoot at rebels and
then turn and talk in favor of the Demo-
cratic party, that was continually declaring
that TIE shooting, the war of the North
against Southern rebellion was failure.
He never voted in favor of the party that
was clamoring against the efforts of the free
citizen soldiers of the North to put down
rebellion.
One man calls DR.. Tanner an idiot; an
other says he thirsts for fame; another
says he fasts in the interest of science; an
ether says he purposes lecturing on the
health there is In fasting; another says that
he will demonstrate to the world by prsc-
tice, that the habit of stu'ilng pound after
pound daily into the human stomach is the
fruitful source of disease, and violation of
Gods law; another insists that he gets food /;
says that he wants TO make money
another says, hang science if such fast is
necessary.
A son of David Stouffer, residing in Fer
managh township, was bitten by snake on
Friday evening. The child is five years of
age, and was out in the oats field, near
where the reaper was at work. He began TO
cry, and when asked for the reason, COM
planned of a sting on the leg above the an
sle joint. In the night the child took sick.
On Saturday morning DIR. Banks was called.
The limb was swollen. The swelling was
extending TO the body. Snake poison rem
edies were administered, and the child has
been getting better, and will by and by fully
recover from what was bite by snake.
1t is said that the moon has great effect
on vegetation and animal life, and observing
men declare that about full moon time, more
domestic troubles and fights take place than
1t any other time. Suicides are more nu-
nerous about that time, and discomfort man
Ifests itself to a greater degree about the
time of the full moon. So, at least, it is
sand. Therefore it Is recommended 10 such
people who have hasty minds and bad
tongues, that they watch the changes of the
moon, SO that they are not led into conduct
that is of great injury to their own good
name. Bad conduct may be Of great Of
fence to the people against whom it is de-

selves are the ones who suffer most. They

people. So, if you are prompted to break
out bad, consider the moons phase and gov

J People who are acquainted with the pike
between this town and Mexico, have a dis
Iinct recollection of a hill on this side of
the Kyle farm buildings. Last Sabbath
afternoon, as the funeral procession of Mr..
Moses Kyle was moving up the hill on its
way to Union Cemetery, team near the
top of the hill stopped, and then backed.
The teams being close together, of course
the backing OF one team would disorder all
Of that part of the line Of procession that
was in close order. For a while great dis
order prevailed. The buggy of James
Adams, of Walker township, was upset, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams thrown out and the
buggy broken. The buggy of John Stoner,
Of Fermanagh township, was upset and the
occupants thrown out, and the buggy bro

town, was run into, but without serious re-

The Democracy are holding up their
hands and shouting, "Don't, don't say
untrue about Hancock" and
in the next breath they tell all kinds of
stories against Garfield. But lies, like
chickens, you know, 60 home to roost.
The De- Golyer story, and the Credit
Mobiiier story, and the Back Pay story
will all find their way back as chickens
do to roost on the Democratic party,
who wove them into a false construc-
tion, into net work of stories, and then,
