"Romance and Tragedy Of Pioneer

best contribution yet made to this depart
ment of history The reader finds it Won
derfully absorbing from the first chapter to

pulse to go back and read it again. The
trials and successes of the carly settlers
their wars and treaties with the Indians
captures, escapes, and almost miraculous
recoveries of women and children; grea,
conspiracies, which only lacked success to
change the history of the world and turn
backward !for whole century the course

An attempt was made on Sunday night
to rob the safe in the Treasurer's office al
Sunbury. The robbers effected an entrance
by cutting through the brick wall. They
then forced open the iron shutters leading
to the back yard, to afford them an easy
way of escape if observed. The iron door
of the safe was drilled, but it is supposed
the thieves were frightened away as they
did not succeed in getting the door open
A man by the name of Cook was arrested
on Monday for stealing potatoes. He also
stole some tools from the New Hotel in
course of erection. Whether he is one who
attempted the safe robbery is not yet fully
known. Sunbury has been disturbed witt

you can steal the pin out of her hair, that's
the way to do it. If you can pick up one
that has fallen from.her head that's dea
better. Some fellows have followed Cir
for squares, just because a hair pin looked
as though it meant to drop soon. What dc
they do with them? Put them into an al

EDIToRs OF THE COLUMBIAN.-Permit
space in your paper for the insertion of a
brief article in relation to some recent oc
currences in the vicinity Of the Kreame
school district A few evenings since
there was a school meeting held at the
Kramer school house to elect teacher fol
the ne xt term of school,
The edirector In charge presented the names
of six applicants three of whom were fe
males. II was proposed by one of the ci.
tizens present that Miss Coleman of Orange
be selected to teach the school as she had
taught the summer term successfully and
satisfactorily. But it was thought by some
present that male teacher would be better
in some respects, consequently one was Sc
lected and because the selection did not
suit certain citizen of the district he /:
disappointed, dissatisfied and wonderfully
worried about it. But as the rest of the
citizens Of this locality are quiet and ag-
greeable to associate and deal with such
persons can not very much disturb the
peace nor stop the progress of the commu
| nifty. l would say to him and all Of
like inclinations and disposition reform
your ways as citizens that you may be
looked upon with deserved respect and
favor.
The new road leading up the hollow from
Philip Appleman's to Thomas Coleman:
that was opened last fall is not a passible
road, that is, it can not be travelled both
| ways at the same ii ne because there are nc
passing places and the supervisor should
see that it shall be entirely completed before
| it be taken off of the contractors hands
All the taxpaying citizens of the township
are interested in this matter and sho uld
feel concerned in the completion of the
road before the money they have paid II
way of taxes is unjustly appropriated

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate Of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases--backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit Of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and Soliday, while
the written guarantee Of the manufacturers
waranting each case to wear t,centy years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
