About snnervisnrs

Under the existing law the road super
Yisors in the several townships of this
Commonwealth are allowed, in the settle
ment of their accounts, the sum of one
dollar and fifty cents for each day they are
necessarily employed in the duties of their
office. The law does not apply in cases
where counties or townships have special
or local laws fixing the compensation of
the public servants. This small pay may
account in part for the bad condition of the
public roads.

The season is now at hand when hunters
OF all ages get their guns and 90 forth to
bag the shy and secluded game. 1t is not
impertinent, therefore, to advise the sports
man not to blow down the muzzle of his
gun, not to playfully point an "unloaded"
weapon at friend, and to take due care
that when be aims at mark it be not a
human being transformed by the leaves
and shadows of the woods into the semb-
lance of deer. Eternal vigilance is the
price of safety on the part of gunners.
