PACKERToN SPECIALS.

Miss BERTHE Stiles was visiting, friends
in South Bethlehem during last week.
Charles Langkammerer is adding a
fine porch to his residence, which is a de-
cided improvement.
The Mills bill passes the House-the
moon is eclipsed, and yet not word from
Boulanger Foraker" of Ohio. What
does it mean?
If it is true that Banker Drexel, OF
Philadelphia, has declared for free wool
and lower taxes, what will the red-headed
Cooper and Charles Emory do?
The Lehigh Valley engineers were here
on Monday, surveying with a view to i'm
portant changes in the upper yard. An
other track is needed 10 facilitate the moye-
ment of coal cars over the weigh scales.
Frying the fat out of the wealthy
manufacturers of this state to grease the g.
o. p. machine to keep it moving up the
high tariff grade, is the mission of Bayne
and Cooper. The fat will be got, but the
machinemay stick for want of power.
President Cleveland's world wide popu-
larity as wise and safe executive, troubles
the Press. The well-paid, well-fed R. P.
Porter sees in this, great danger for the
lpoor labo r-aBri ton n the
Press staff and one is not surprised as to
the editorial matter.
The topper is about as usual; but the
fact is the flop is generally the result Of
pique or greed, hence has but little effect.
We know of some foppers in this county,
who have topped themselves entirely out
of any chance for Office, except it be that
of alternate. Of course there are excep-
tons, but the average topper is generally
labelled N. G. Neither party trusts the
topper.
We understand there are two or three
aspirants for legislative honors on the
Democratic side. II must be remembered
that it will take good man to beat E. NJ
Mulharen; his defeat two years ago was nc
particular credit to the voters of Carbon
Craig was slaughtered too by the same ele
ment. We hope to see clean cut cam
paign-good candidates. good canvass
and good results.
The Hon. Knite Nelsor, Minnesota
Republican says: "Wiser, better, juster tC
give the people cheaper food, cheape
clothing, cheaper shelter; cheaper. becaus,
released from the heavy and unnecessar,
burden of high tariff. 1 will put free
sugar, free coal, free lumber, free wool
free salt and free tin against free whiske,
and free tobacco any time" This is th
utterance of a member of the g. o. p.-no
a terrible Democrat. Who can refute hi
argument and claim to be the friend o
labor?
If the passage of the Mills bill will
kill the Democratic party, why don't tn
Senate pass it, and have the funeral a
once? There would then be no necessit,
of frying the "fat' out of the manufac
turers in order to elect Harrison. VIII
not pass the bill which reduces the tarli
, from Al to AZ per cent? Surely such
free trade measure is dreadful, but IL
will kill these terrible disloyal Democrat
and leave only loyal Republicans to run th
government Why not hasten the services

AT recent meeting of the Board of School
Directors the following teachers were appointed
to teach a nine months term:
Principal-Prof. F. j. Stettler.
.Grammar-W. L. Bevan.
Intermediate--Miss Hattie Rooms.
Secondary-Miss Aggie Hauk.
Primaries-Misses Myra Good, Emma Koons,
Ella Graver, Mary Dreibelbies. Laura Weidaw
and Mrs. Howard Delfenderfer.
The salary of the Principal has been raised
from $40 to $50; and the salary OF Miss Good has
been raised from $50 to 43s; the salaries of the
other teachers have not been changed.
The "Slatington News" speaking Of the newly
elected Principal Of our schools, says: Prof.
Stettler has been in our midst many years and
besides conducting our schools in an able and
satisfactory manner, he has held several posi-.
tons of high trust in municipal affairs, which he
filled with credit and honor, both to himself and
constituents. The acceptance OF his resignation
by our Board will be source of much regret to
our citizens. whom he served faithfully In the
capacity Of Principal of our public schools. He
is an able instructor and through his unremittlng
efforts the standard of our schools have been ad-
yanced to the highest notch. We have no hesl-
fancy In saying that our Board will experience
considerable difficulty in securing his equal II
was only recently that the honorary degree OF
master of arts was conferred on him by Ursnus
College, which is mark Of high distinction.
He is a citizen of worth, and Lehlghton is to be
congratulated in having secured him as their
Principal. In leaving he carries from this place
the universal esteem of the community; the kind
regard of every inhabitant who has known him.
We all wish him unbounded prosperity In the
neighboring borough of Lehighton.

The AgOnies Of fLumbago.
EAST RIVER NATIONAL BANK,
New YORK, March 10. 1886.


1t gives me great pleasure to add my testi-
mony in favor OF Allcock's Porous Plasters.
Last October had very severe attack Of
lumbago and suffered untold agony; could
not turn in bed or get in any position with
out assistance, and with pains almost un-
bearable; the folks suggested Allcock's
Porous Platers. As soon as possible had
one applied to the small of my back, and to
my great surprise l experienced almost in
slant relief; continued wearing it until en-
tirely cured, and am happy to say that l
have not had the slightest symptoms Of
Lumbago since. They are a wonderful and
valuable Plaster for Lumbago, and take
much pleasure in recommending them.

II spoonful of manure made by any
animal walking on either two or four
legs. He keeps eleven horses, four
cows and four hundred hogs; he uses
not a shovelful of their manure. but
selling that. he uses peat and swamp
muck mixed with his spent barilla
ashes. The proportions are one part
of spent ashes to three of peat dug up
in the fall, mixed in the spring. After
shoveling two or three times it is spread
and plowed in. The effect is ilnmedi
ate, and so far lasting. The urine of
one COW for II winter, mixed with peat.
is sufficient to manure half an acre OF
land with twenty loads of manure OF

alton and litter afforded only twelve
loads fJr the same period, whose value
