We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation from Mr.. and Mrs. J. A.
Lumbard of Selinsgrove, to attend
the giving away in marriage of their
daughter, Miss Lucy l., to Mr.. Miles
l. Potter of Selinsgrove at the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church, Selins-
grove, on Thusday, May 9th, at
p. NJ.
DIR. b. L. VanBoskirk of Selins-
grove has placed upon the market
q toilet article of remarkable value
called the "Boquet Tooth Wash" for
preserving and cleansing the teeth,
healing the gums, disinfecting the
mouth and perfuming the breath.
We are using it and can most heart
lily recommend it as an invaluable
article for the mouth.
Saturday was a wet day for
Snyder county. Every applicant for
license to sell liquor was granted by
the Court. Twenty-seven in mum
ber--one more than last year. Who
would not live in Snyder county
where you can have anything TO drinl,
from the sparkling due-drop, with
which angels make their toilet, to
double-distilled, thribble- plated, rat
proof coffin varnish at peanut prices.
The number of saloons in the
state before the high license went
into effect was 24,70i. This was re-
duced to 6,72s under high license.
Snyder county has To inhabitants
TO every saloon. Six counties have
no license, viz : Armstrong, Forest,
Green, Huntingdon, Indiana and
Warren. Sommerset has three sa-
looms, or one to every II ,037 inhabi-
tants, and Luzerne in 1887 had one
saloon to every 1870 inhabitants, un-
der high license it has one saloon to
every 1877. The number of saloons
in Philadelphia before high license
was 5,773 against 1,347 under high
lcense-a reduction of 4,42G.
Complaint has been brought in by
some of the fishermen Mt Swift Run
in regard 10 the rather severe crit
cism they received from our Troxel-
vile correspondent in last week $
PosT. A rather exaggerated account
of their catch had grown out of n
Joyial remark made by one of the
party and was taken up as pre-
tended truth by our correspondent.
California Joe is nm old fisherman
himself and probably should not
have taken it so to heart-knowing
the acknowledged weakness the fol-
lowers of Isaac Walton have for cx-
ageration. The party showed Us
their catch and made no attempt TO
enlarge upon thence we willingly
grant them this means of vindication.
