Mr.. Simon 1ubbs, prostrated by paraly-
sis IA few weeks ago, whose death was mo-
mentsrily expected, is able to be about
again.
Several buildings were struck by light
ming duling the terrific thunder storm last
week, Wednesday evening, Viz. ]. S.
Woods house at Saltwater and G. M.
Howell's barn at VanCamp. Neither was
burned. The former was considerably
damaged and the latter was struck once
before, several years ago.
Harvest is progressing with all possible
speed. The crop is a very good one, with
slight exceptions.
The oppressive heat has caused rapid
growth Of the corn, which now promises a
fair crop, otwithstanding late planting.
The Young Ladies' High Pressure Soci-
ETY., amoug other good things, "Resolved"
THAT kisses are like creation, made of
nothing; and, very, very sweet; and that
the son is the centre of attraction"
My wife and daughter returning from
berrying, one day last week, plucked sew
cral clover stalks from my clover field
measuring respectively 56!, SO and 80
inches. They insist by a little search taller
stalks could be found
No respite will be afforded our farmers
until after the ingathering of all the crops.
A little recreation would be highly beneic-
ial to their well being, especially during
the cheated term" Including their wives
as well.
Many farmers are improving their lands
by undertaking. 1t is both costly and
laborious. The question of stumping is
being agitated as to whether pulling by
machine, or blowing up by dynamite is
| the cheaper way, and, as l am much inter
ested, should like to know. Many are in
| my way and must be removed, either by
one or both processes. Stumping by ma
chine has already cost me several hundred
dollars, and | am almost persuaded to try
the new experiment Of dynamiting. Many
of the stumps are of enormous size and toe
heavy for machine lifting and when out re-
quire breaking or splitting before they can
| be handled. ,f can be informed where 1
good grade of dynamite can be procured
and person experienced with the danger
GUS explosive will volunteer to apr ly it, il
that event the experiment will assuredly
be made. Probably the editors of the Co
LJABIAN can give me the desired ir foIma
ton.

In voting instructions at the delegate
election there is nothing in the law or the
rules requiring that when there are two
persons to be elected to the same office, one
should come from each side of the river.
1t is the custom, however, to divide in that
way, and a custom that ought to be OBJ
served so long as there are candidates from
both sides suitable for the positions to
which they aspire, This year we elect
two Representatives and two Associate
Judges, and voters should acquaint them
selves with the respective residences Of the
candidates so they can vote accordingly.
For Representative, A. L, Fritz is the only
candidate from the north side of the river,
while J. T. Fox, L. NJ. Tewksbury and F.
L. Shuman reside on the south side. For
Associate judge, l. X. Krlckbaum and
James Lake are from the north side and
G. G. Murphy and Charles Reichart from
the south side.

OrangeviIie.

AS per announcement In your paper the
citizens of Orangeville celebrated Inde-
pendcnce day July 3rd. The old town
looked gay 10 its holiday attire of flags,
buntings and evergreens. Beginning at
Heckman's Hotel we found every business
place decorated with flags and evergreens
and many of the private residences. At
Heckmaos Hotel the street was spanned
by an arch trimmed with evergreen; at
corner of Main and Pine streets a double
arch placed transversely from house of A.
B. Stewart to hotel of j. M. Long and from
store of A. B. Stewart to store Of Snyder Il
Sloppy; at J. J. Yocum's another arch was
placed. First in the order of exercises
was national salute of 3S guns at sunrise,
one for each of our great confederation OF
states.
Next fantastic parade. This was the
feature of the day. 1t was headed by j.
w. Masteller in character of Washington
and Mrs. f. b. johnson as Martha. Johns
impersonation was good except the differ.
en- ce in virtues. We are taught by the
story of the little hatchet that George could
not tell lie, John can but he won't.
The Lighlstreet band came next follow.
ed by the first locomotive Of the Blooms
burg & Sullivan II. r. drawing the direct
ors' car. The parties getting 1t up scared a
large hogshead, mounted it on wheels and
trimmed it with smokestack, bell, driving
| wheels and rods &c. Then came the
| directors car with representatives en- mas
| que OF the several directors, and sorry
crowd they were. Some thirty borsemer
| followed and twice as many on foot. The
| Orangeville band resurrccted for the occa.
| sion dressed in woman's clothes, brought
| up the rear with banner bearing the fol
lowing; The old band is dead but the wo
| man goes head
We noticed an urchin blackened beai inc
a banner reading as follows: Wash me and
shall be whittier than snow.
This followed the tub and sack races
At l p. m. the procession formed and
marched to the Academy grove, where the
Declaration of Independence was read by
Miss Hooven and National airs sung by q
chorous of 40 voices, and addresses by
Jas. L. Flitz and Prof Harkins. Toe
much cannot be said in praise of the above
named speeches. They were grand. Next
came wheelbarrow race followed by 9
game of base ball between the Bloom and
| Orange, lie nines with a score of 81 to
in favor of Bloom. Bloom can justly be
proud of her nine as players and gentle
men. In the evening there was grand
display OF fire works from Megarge's hi'l
The political aspirants were out in full
force, reaping their harvest.

ExquisiteIy Lovely Thing.

A most betwitching picture is being
brought out, entitled "little sweethearts."
Probably no picture in any part of the
world has ever met with such an outburst
of applause. 1t is being brought out by
Graham & Millar, art publishers, lag Gen.
tire street, New York. Everybody is sure
to want one. They want good agents.
Here is chance to make lots of money.
Boys and girls during Summer vacation
can make little pile. 1t isn't often we
recommend anything, but "Little Sweet
hearts" is praised by the best people in the
land

There has been considerable criticism OF
the action of the school board in fixing the
salary of the Principal al 500 month for
12 months, when all the other teachers are
paid for only months. Not being on the
inside of the workings OF the board, and
not having been able to learn the merits OF
the case from those who complain, we are
unable to express an opinion. As general
rule however, we believe that competent
pi inclpal of the schools in town like
this should receive sufficient salary to live
comfortably without being obliged to seek
other employment during vacation The
question of the sufficiency OF pay OF the
other teachers has not been raised before
the board

John Kressler, of Scott Twp, brought
in our sanctum Monday bunch containing
about one hundred heads of the Scott
wheat. We examined two of the heads,
the one contained AZ full grains of wheat
and the other, 81. When we consider that
30 grains is The average Yield of wheat,
and that very frequently the yield is not
more than 10 or 10, it is easy to conclude
that this wheat is frst-class, and that it was
by good farming that Mr., Kresser was
able to raise such fine crop. The Scott
wheat has large heads, with but few boards.
The berry is large and very full.
