Under no administration have the various

Marston refers been 50 vigorously assailed

Senator briefly yet succinctiy renews the

shows that the administration whether di-

depends upon the proposition alone, the
outspoken Feliciana Senator will remain

One of the abiest OF the anti -administra-
ton papers fatty denies the possession by
Gov. McEnery of those "highest legal
qualifications and excellent judgment"
claimed for him by an ardent and extraTa-
CANT journalistic admirer, and supports the
denial with some salient reasoning. We
cite the following:
If he had possessed those exalted attributes
he would not have 50 slgnally failed to find tho
law to check the corrupt practices in the Land
Office. Again had he possessed them the law
which provided for funding in United States
bonds the interest funds lying idle and insecure
III the vaults OF the Fiscal agent would not be
dead letter to-day; add the million or rlore of
dollars which it was the object of the unexe
cuted law to secure the commonwealth beyond
around loose, for the sole use and benefit of a
rlch and powerful money monopoly Norwould
the commonwealth have been defraudod, as It
has b?en, OF $1,000 Of ANIMAL interest for three
years!
Gov. McEnery is warm friend of the public
schools We challenge the proof. The ad-
verse presumption flows from the fact, that in
Tue recent condensation III the courts between
the public schools and the universities, the
commonwealth represented by the Attorney
General, appeared for the universities This
was an occasion when the public schools not .,yll

Our little village has been silent for
sometime, not from the inclemency of the
winter storms, 0 the lack of business
among our business men, but for the
want of something to write about. Our
merchants Carthew Bros, are doing a
large trade in their mercantile line. l..
Wolf does not lack for trade in the black
s%mithing. Mine host Schrum, spares
no pains to accommodate the travelling
man with good square meal.
New Years passed off very quietly
without any ''booms," as has been the
usual streak among the surrounding
villages. The young people sought
amusement in different localities. Some
sought the newly erected building of
Mr.. Geo. Utt for friendly hospitality,
others the social and decorated halls of
Potosi.
A case of accidental shooting occur

turn the ball was Immediately cut out
and the wounds properly treated. Boys
who endanger themselves by carrying
such p~laythings and dangerous weapons
should not only remember the danger
they are laboring under, but also the
fine and penalty prescribed by our
statutes for carrying concealed weapons.
Mr.. Ed. Nicols met with rather a
painful accident last Wednesday, while

very badly.

"Life's labor done, as sinks the clay
Light from its load the spirit flies.
While heaven and earth combine to say:
How blest the righteous when he dies ="
On Thursday, December %, 1882, a procession
was observed vending its way to the Adventist
church, bearing the mortal part OF Grandpa Cay
lor previous to its consignment in the last rest
ing ~plaee-the easier cemetery. The old gentle
man has been troubled with asthma for several
years; but a severe inflammation OF stomach and
bowels rendered the aged frame, already debili-
tated- an easy prey to the fell destroyer. David
Caylor was born at Sansbery, near the Suaque-
hanna river, in Pennsylvania, and was not far
from 80 years old at the time OF his death. which
occurred December &c. He was of German an
eestry, as is also his widow, both belonging to
the class known as Pennsylvania Dutch" He
came to this country about 45 years ago and has
been a resident in Mt. Hope and vicinity for over
thirty years. He leaves no children, and was a
very worthy and highly respected old gentleman.
The aged wife-who is over 80 years old-deeply
feels her loss; but reioices to know that he ex-
pressed himself as ''going home to Jesus" She
will still stay ''at home" in this village and
among her many friends, who love to treat her
kindly, and who will extend their warmest sym
pathy to the lady in her lonely situation.

is something 10 be proud of. We had
quite a battle last fall wei the question
of eniarging u school building and
thus increasing our facilities equal to
the demands or letting the whole thing
60 to the dogs by abandoning our high
school and losing all the prestige we had
gained. But the better counsel pre-
vailed, we built a large addition to u
high school building, employed another
additional teacher, and now we are well
provided for. Prof. Showalter, assisted
by Miss BERTHE Philbrick, a very popular
teacher in the high school, and Miss
Lydia Ferris, in the primary department
also a prudent and satisfactory teacher.
We arc raising four hundred dollars
this winter toward paying for the new
building, and at the present rate, the
tuition of foreign pupils will ere long
pay the balance.
Our young people having spent the
holidays at home are again away at their
several schools.
Our railroad contractor and neighbor

The Yearly Improvement.

Below is given the report of the diff
erent builders of the city of the build
ings erected by them wholly or in part
during the past season. The list shows
a decided activity in the line of new
dwellings and business blocks. The
total cost of these improvements foot up
between $1,000 and $40, 900. These
figures indicate that Lancaster is awak-
ing to the future which lies before it.
The outlook for the coming year is
equally promising, as quite a number of
parties have signitied their intention of
building. What is needed more than
anything else is tenement houses.
Would be new corners are kept away
now by their inability to get houses to
live in. Every one of the houses erect
ed during the past season are occupied
and several more would he quickly filed
were they to be had. Lancaster has got
a boom in its teeth but in order to carry
it successfully it must have all the adj
vantage that can be afforded by provid-
ing homes for the new corners as fast
as they arrive. or places that they can
make homes out of. A few persons can
not carry the burden of Improvement
on their shoulders alone, they must have
the assistance of the whole community,
for it is a subject in which one is inter-
ested rs well as another.

Senator, are you expectin' to make a

The Senator admitted that such was his
