One difficulty in collecting money for
subscriptions from towns in the county
distant from Williamsport has been that
as valuable letters are generally regis
tered and as bills are scarce and silver
heavy, the extra stamps also amount to

Guilty we will, as opportunity permits, Sc
cure the services of some one at each
point authorized to receive and receipt
for subscriptions, and the money can
then be forwarded at our expense. At
Winchester Mr. G. H. Bumstead will re.
ceive and receipt for sums owing the
