The Valley Spirit in speaking of the con-
solidation of the United States Internal
Revenue Districts, says. ''Scull goes over
board. A month or more ago, seeing the
coming cloud, Major Pomeroy abandoned
the hnnt for the Collectorship, and went
into the harbor of a Receivership at Union
City, where he is safe for a couple Of years
at good salary. In keeping Pomeroy out
Mr.. Scull lost himself" This is almost too
silly to notice What assurance has the
VALLEY Spira that Mr.. Scull would haye re-
ceived the Receivership spoken of, if he had
been succeeded by Mr.. Pomeroy as Collec-
tor, or what reason has he for supposing
that Mr.. Scull would have wished for that
place Mr. Scull has one of the best records
as Collector in the United States, and gave
entire satisfaction to the Government for
period covering about twenty years. He re-
tires now gracefully, full of honors, with
clean skirts and We hope reasonable COM
potency. He only goes out because of the
consolidation of Revenue Districts. With
all the efforts brought to bear to have him
displaced he held the fort to the last. He
didn't lose himself either-Bedford Rep',b-

Ny child don't kill the little toads, that
hop around your door, each meal the little
toad doth eat hundred bugs or more. He
sits around with aspect meek until the bug
is neared, then shoots he forth his little
tongue like lightning double geared. And
then he soberly doth wink, and shuts his
ugly mug, and patiently doth wait until
there comes another bug.

Mr. A. A. Stu,nman has accepted the
agency Tor Somerset and Cambria counties
FOR the celebrated American Fruit Drier or
Pneumatic Evaporator. as will be seen by
his advertisement in another column. The
machine is simple in its construction, easy
10 understand, and can be operated by any
one. As eyaporated fruit always commands
a price far in excess, and meets with much
more ready sale than any other, the farmer
or fruit grower can in very short time
save sufficient money to pay for the machine.
Mr. Stutznan has one of the Eyaporators at
his house, which he will be pleased to show
and explain the workings thereof to any
who may wish 10 examine it. whether they
have an idea of purchasing or not.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
At meeting Of Somerset Lodge No. lSj
/. o. G. T. held on Saturday evening, June
%, 1888, the following minute was made
in reference TO our departed brother, Joseph
Herr:
In the death of Brother Joseph Herr this
Lodge has lost its oldest member-oldest in
years and amongst the oldest in member
ship, and we shall miss his cheering words
and fatherly counsel, but the impressions
for good which he made upon our minds
whilst with Us cannot be forgotten, and will
always stimulate US to greater activity and
more earnest devotion to the great cause OF
Temperance.
Often in attendance at our meetings even
in faiIing health, and when if he had con-
suited his own personal comfort, We would
have been deprived of his presence. For
thirteen year an osicer of the Lodge, his
duties were faithfully and carefully attended

To his bereavel widow and children We
extend our sincere sympathy. and share
with them the grief occasioned by this
