Az INcoRREor Report. We erocent-
ly noticed in some of our county
papers an item to the effect that DR..
Wagenseller, of Selinsgrove, had
been appointed Co. Physician on
the S. and l.. Railroad. This report
is incorrect. DR.. A. NJ. Smith, of
this place, still retains that position,
and DR.. Wagenseller has been ap-
pointed assistant.-Idamsburg

Those who cherish the "unlucky
Friday superstition must regard
the present year with particular
distrust. II came in and will go out
on Friday there are four months
in it having five Fridays each the
longest and the shortest of its days
on Friday and its entire number
of Fridays is fifty-three. A man
will be kept busy to dodge all of
these ill-omened conditions.
Adam Ferster has the correct idea
of true business principles. Last
Thursday he came into our Office and
} inquired what we would charge to
send the PosT to two new subscri-
bers ut Evandale, Juniata county
one year. ''One dollar and a half
each, invariably in advance" we re-
: piled. That's the stuff replied
Adam, keep them all alike and
here's the money for myself and j.

d Merchants in the State of Penn
n sylvania are required each year to
( pay what is known as mercantile
license. They pay for conducting ,
q legitimate business, remarks an ex
i change, and for this reason they are
: protected from peddlers and hawk
: ers of various wares. The law abso
n lutely forbids the peddling of any
n merchandise without license, except
,. that residents of the state may sci
q articles of their own manufacture
4 But license to hawk and peddle may
: be obtained by citizen of the Unit
II ed States upon the certificate of tive
2 practicing physicians of the county
that the applicant is by reason o
physical inability, unable to follow
y a trade or gain livelihood by man
u ual labor. This is one of the good
,, laws of the state that is not enforc
u ed as it should be, and merch ant
70 ought to organize movemen
,, against peddlers that would driv,
u them to other fields or put them ou
II of business entirely. No person, ex
o cept a cripple, has right to impos'
l. upon the rights of merchants who
l. pay for the privilege of doing bust
l. ness, and decided movemen
!, against these venders would be {
u service to the storekeepers and tn
people alike.
