Lawrence j. Ibach. known far and

'O"h, hVp"hoh NOhhty, VII utSuiN,
Oct. 2, aged 72 years. Mr.. Ibach
was well-known as an astronomer,
and for years made the astronomi-
cal calculations for Baer's and many
of the other almanacs published in
this country He was born in Allen
town, and was almost entirely self
educated. He spoke German,
French, Spanish and italian, and
was man of general and varied in
formation.
Some one growled recently in the
Daily because we spoke of the en-
terprise and snap of Mr.. jerome B.
Reed, in his work of putting in
steam heat, &c, while we left out
the name of Mr.. Silas II. Conrad as
among the men in that business.
We have nothing personal against
Mr.. Conrad ut all He is clever
citizen, and we are informed put in
the steam heat radiators Mt the
Methodist church of Sunbury. Mr..
Reed is not only good reliable man
of business, but he is subscriber
of The News aud large business like
advertiser in it's broad pages. Mr..
Conrad is not. It pays to advertise
and 1t pays to take THE News. The
live business man advertises and
thus makes il pay. We know what
we are talking about when we say
that Reed does work i'll Northum-
berland, in Selinsgrove, in Middle
burgh, III Lewistown and all over
the country round, because he adj
vertises and does satisfactory work.
Where an advertiser does good work
he is entitled to II special good word
--iSUnbury 1meric0n. Jes SO,
Bro. Brice; and if you had waded the
streams and tramped the mountains
with Mr. Reed as much as we have
you could not only say that he was
u good reliable man of business but
bully good fellow besides.

Once n Week 2
Bro. Lesher of the Times wants
to bet 800 that Mr. Helfrich did not
stand up III the House of Represen-
tatives and defend the scalp bill
with public speeches during the
last session. Nobody said he did.
Mr. Helfrich's forte is not IN speech
making There are already too
many speech-makers in the Legisla-
ture who prolong the session by
their windy harangues. The Times
also wants to know why Mr.. Hell
frich, did not have special scalp
law passed for Snyder county. Now,
e'gad, Joe, don't trihe with political
ignorance III that way. You are an
editor and as such we feel interest
ed in you. Don't you know that
the Commissioners of Snyder county
can pay premiums on scalps if they
wish ? And don't you know that
paying premiums on all the scalps of
birds and beasts killed III dozens of
counties would bankrupt our coun-
ty treasury You wouldn't want it,
Think of it-there wouldn't be
enough money left in the treasury
to pay your printing bills. Admit
it now, for once and be ehonest. You,
or nobody else, can find one mistake
Mr. Helfrich made while acting as
our representative. Get a magnify
ing glass that will make mouse
look like n mountain and you can't
find the ghost of shadow for criti-
cism in his record. Hunt for some
thing else. Don't waste your pre-
ciouS time in this foolhardy manner.
