Grand Army So uibs.

The aggregate membership OF the
entire Grand Army OF the Republic, includ-
ing the members on the suspended list. Is
now nearly 100000.
Through the efforts OF the G. A. R.
during the past FIVE years more than 5000
veterans who fought for the Union have
been taken GU, of poorhouses and placed
In homes.
One would suppose that all the worthy
old soldiers OF Pennsylvania had been
gathered into some sheltering fold of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Yet the
organization Of new Posts goes steadily on,
an evidence that there are still! numbers of
old comrades who have yet to know by
experience the merits OF this benevolent
institution.
May 18th, 1885, an act was approved
giving the County Commissioners power 10
appoint suitable committees in each ward,
borough and township, TO decently bury
the body Of every INDECENT honoraDly dis
charged soldier. sailor and marine, such
committee to serve at the pleasure OF the
Commissioners without compensation.
They are to inquire into the deceased per.
sons right to such burial, and II deemed
satisfactory, the committee is TO bury the
body and report to the Commissioners
The cost Of burial shall not exceed s35 and
a tombstone shall be erected costing not
more than SIS.

Electricity and Insurance.

Wires to be duly coated with approved
insulating material and to have at least
double the conducting capacity required by
all the generators, and to be protected
where they enter the buildings by porcelain
or hard rubber insulators, so placed as to
prevent rain water from entering the build
ing along the wire, and to be provided with
cutoff outside. Whenever wires are car
ried through walls, floors or partitions in
buildings, they must be surrounded by a
special insulating tube Of substantial ma
terial. The wires must be firmly secured
to walls or ceilings by non-conducting fas-

This was Daniel Webster's
remark to a young and hall dis
couraged aspirant for legal hon.
ors. There is no secure resting
place in any business or profess
ion but "the top" "and the man
who lacks the brains and per-
sistence to attain that position
cannot hope to achieve great re-
suits. Once there however, he
has all fortunes best favOls in his
grasp, and can af)rd to be gen.
erous to the struggling masses
below. ''lhe New High Arm
Davis Sewing Machine" has
arrived at 1.-The top" and has
become the acknowledged stand
ard Of excellence among sewing
machines. In proof of this as
sertion, we are daily told by
dealers in other machines that
"they are as good as "The Dav
is, (which is in itself sufficient
evidence that THE Davis" is
at the head. The New High
Arm Davis" has no equal in
simplicity, durability. and range
of work. 1t has arrived at The
Top" Geo. W. NaS6aun, AGENT.
