A York county paper says: "The people
of York county are opposed to having two
judges on their bench, and the presiding
judge of this county insists that he has am
Pile time to do all the work required. Yet
the Judicial apportionment bill provides for
two judges. 1t looks very much as if the
York county Democrats have too many pegs
for the holes, and wish to provide place
for one of the workers
The Center Democrat says: A Clinton
county man recently went to Lock Haven,
and after drinking about quart of the best
whisky to be found in our ambitious sister

At half-past 10 O'Clock on Sabbath morn
ing the Post of the G. A. K. at this place
marched in a body to the Methodist church
to attend divine worship. They all looked

Fost Band, without instruments, led the
procession. The Band boys are so well
used to keeping step to music that their
marching was also a perfect step to time,
and their very light blue uniforms might
easily have been mistaken by stranger for
the Confederate gray, and the whole pro-
cession misInterpreted to mean union pro-
cession of the union and disunion elements
of the late civil war. The church was
crowded to its utmost capacity. The aisles

there was not room for the multitude that

Jacob Beidler's bees took TO swarming on
Sunday. Two swarms concluded to leave
about one and the same time. Samuel Roll.
man came to the assistance of Mr.. Beidler
and by the arts known tc tie bee cultivator
the swarms were kept from getting off the
property, but the management could moi
keep the two bees from getting into one

gle comes to an end. Mr.. Rollman wa'
strung about a dozen times. On Monday
another bee swarrned; that one was success
