Death of Emanuel Schoch.

On Saturday, November 10th, Mr..
Schoch went to u sick-bed with
gastric liberation of the stomach.
On Saturday, November Odd, at
high-noon his immortal spirit wing
ed its way into the mysterious eter-
nifty. He had reached the sixty
seventh year of age in August last.
His aged father. still remarkably
vigorous, survives him. He leaves
widow, one of the most estimable
and highly esteemed women of this
vicinity; son, Hon. G.. Alfred
Schoch, and n daughter, Mrs. Lewis
w. Pawling, nearest of kin, to
mourn his loss.
Emanuel Schoch was quiet, un-
assuming, industrious, and esteem
ed citizen ; an exemplary gentleman
of high moral character and un-
questionable integrity. He did
many charitable act which was
never paraded before the public.
His industry and fair-dealing put
him in affluent circumstance and
he contributed to the general we'll
fare of the public all that was re-
quired of him. The feelings of the
vast assemblage who witnessed the
depositing of his mortal remains in
their last resting place on earth was
manifestly expressed in tears and
profoundly sorrowful faces. We
deeply sympathize with the bereav.
ed. May his ashes rest in peace,
and his immortal spirit join the an.
gelic host and go on through the
endless cycles of eternity, singing
Hosannahs to the Lamb of God
through whose blood we are clens
ed from sin. Y

Mr.. Henry Heinly, of Leavens,
worth, Kansas, formerly resident
of this county, is visiting his sister,
Mrs. G. III. Steininger of this town.
Considerable damage was done on
the Sunbury & Lewistown railroad
by the flood last week, occasioned
mostly by suspension of freight
traffic. On Tuesday mail west was
compelled to run through water a
distance of about 1000 feet, and sew
eral places was detained by slides
and washouts. The Selinsgrove
bridge was damaged to such an ex-
tent that no trains could run over it
for several days, passengers being
carried across on hand-csrs. Over
at Williamsport and all along that
section, a great deal of damage was
done. The trestlework of the
Montgomery bridge was carried
away. Several other bridges were
badly disabled, while the low por-
tions of Williamsport and other
places We're inundated.

5000 Worth Of Fun.

A subscriber who is curious to
know how we can figure out 5000
worth of fun in weeks hunt, ad-
dresses us as follows:
Ed. PosT Please explain how in
thunder. you can figure two hun
dred dollars worth of fun out of u
weeks tramp and toll in the noun
tains. i think you are cranky on
the subject. FOB.
Well, my friend, here's to you.
BY fun we mean enjoyment. Some
kind OF enjoyment is very expensive,
other kinds not so. Some fellows
find enjoyment in sitting on the
street corners and wearing out the
bosom of their pants on store-boxes.
1t is possible you are one of these.
This is not as expensive i'll money
ed sense as i'll moral sense and can
not be calculated. Another man
finds enjoyment in travel. Try a
week of it, live as you would desire,
and then show us your purse. Others
find enjoyment in wine, women
and cards" If you don't know any
thing about this mode of enjoyment,
don't" Still others find enjoyment
in boarding up and counting their
wealth. This is probably the only
means of enjoyment we have no
knowledge Of But all enjoyment
on this mundane sphere will cost
money, morals, or muscle; and every
man has his own estimate of things.
What is work for one man is play
for another-and in order to get
5000 worth of fun out of a week \
deer hunt you must be ambi-
tious to excel in killing game and
enjoy congeniality in camp.
There is nothing more exquisitely
delightful to an old hunter than To
stand on deer runway on IL cold,
crisp morning and hear the bay OF
the dogs on the trail OF wounded
deer" They come nearer, the
sound grows clearer. Now they
turn. Bang goes n rifle down the
mountain. Wonder if he got him.
The dogs have stopped baying,
Listen One yelp Now another,
now full chorus. Didn't hit him.
Coming straight. Raise both ham,

breaking, A white object is seen
fitting through the brush. Was it
II jay-bird ! No; its the tail of IN old
buck There he comes-grand and
majestic. His leaps are rs regular

peacock. Bang :" He twirls and
turns but goes ON. Bang " Down

They come and pass. They stop
A howl. There he lays Run. An

rection Deer liver for supper

Is 1916 day too high nm estimate
for such fun?

A Chicago firm recently addressed
the editor of the PosT in lengthy
epistle which started out as follows
"As we are getting up history of all
the American writer's of poetry, and
you having been recommended to
us as poet of note, we desire to
have a sketch of your life and your
master piece of poetry for publica-
tion in our Forthcoming volume" 1t
took our breath at first to think that
we had reputation as a poet, when
in fact, we only once in our life tried
to write "pome," and after seeing
our effort in cold type we were
tempted to commit suicide. Apoet?

A number of our exchanges say
that by law approved in May,
county commissioners will hereafter
receive $3.50 per day for their ser
vices. This misstatement had it's
origin no doubt in a typographical
error. The law referred to says that
county commissioners shall be al
lowed "the sum of three dollars and
fifty cents each, for each and every
day actually and necessarily employ
ed in the discharge of the duties of
their office" Another law passed by
the last Legislature also says that
commissioners "shall be allowed
their travelling expenses necessarily

The Commissioners of Snyder
county have offered n reward of one
thousand dollars for the detection,
apprehension and conviction of the
person or persons who perpetrated
the murder of Charles w. Hane on
the night of September 90, 1889.
This was done by virtue of the Act
of Assembly in such cases made and

The delay of the Commissioners
III Offering reward is due to their
desire not to conflict with the de.

in the arrest, conviction, and execu.

Complaint reaches us nearly every
week concerning the lawlessness
permitted on our streets from time
to time. Young men who should be
taken over the knee and thoroughly
spanked are permitted to reel. stag
ger, curse and insult people under
the very eyes of the law until women
and children are afraid to pass a
corner after dark where these gulls
congregate. Drunkenness and dis.
orderly conduct is punishable by
fine and Imprisonment and we hope
some officer will win for himself tn,
good will of the good people by
''roping in" few of these nuisances
and teach them lesson in common
decency.
