paper hanging. As result he was laid
up several days for repairs.
The following from the Meadville Ti'i-
bune will apply just as we'll to every other
community; "One of Ben. Franklin's
maxims, If you buy what you don't need,
you will soon need something you can't
buy should be borne in mind by several
young men whom we could name, who
are ever requesting loans of their friends"
An exchange speaks thus of a nuisance
that prevails in a great many communi-
ties: "Corry is infested with peddlers who
are selling household articles on the INSTALL
ment plan. The goods are very inferior
and prices very high. You had better put
your money into a box, little at time
(the amount of the installment), and when
you get enough, go and buy for cash at
half the price they charge you"
The President sent to the Senate Satur-
day last the name of Miss Kate NJ. Scott
TO be Postmistress st Brookville, to sue
ceed Mr. l.. II. Erdice, whose commission
will expire the latter part of this month.
Notwithstanding the repeated assertions
crdt, elections for postmasters do elect, or
at least this seems TO be one of the in
stances wherein the verdict of the ballot
has been allowed to ostand.-BrookUiHe Re-
publican.
The postmaster at Hagansville, Michi-
gan, comes as near being a man of all
work as any one we have heard of. In
addition to discharging the duties of post
master, he runs a restaurant, grocery,
hardware, dry goods, boot and shoe store,
and produce store all under one roof, and
still finds time to farm, run saw mill,
dicker in cedar, buy and sell pine lands,
manufacture shingles, conduct a black
smith shop, practice medicine in small
way, mix drugs, act as justice of the peace
and go to church twice on Sundays.
Commissioner Raum estimates that 2O0-
600 veterans will die in the next six years
that in IL years the number will have
reached 900, and that this roll in is
years will have swelled to 720, ,000-thus
duplicating, over and over again with dead,
the great armies of the Union. Gen. Raum
has reached the conclusion that over half a
million veterans now living, namely, $685.
900, will yet yield up II years of their lives
on account of the wear of field service. In
other words, the expectation of life for this
number of survivors has been shortened
by IL years.
Mary had little lamb, its fleece was
white as snow; it strayed away one sum-
mer day where lambs should never go.
Then Mary sat her down and tears stream
ed from her eyes, she never found the
lamb because she did not advertise. And
Mary had a brother John, who kept a viii
lage store; he sat down and smoked his
pipe and watched the open door. And as
the people passed along and did not STOP
to buy, John still sat down and smoked
his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And
so the sheriff closed him out, but still HI
fingered near, and Mary came to droI
with him sympathetic tear. "How is i
sister, can you tellIwhy-the other mer
chants here, sell all their goods and thrive
from year to year," Remembering nov
her own bad luck, the little maid replies
"These other merchants get there, John
because they advertise. Exchange.

rests had been made, but knowledge o
the fact would not have hindered the pros
ecution. The older man of the two, whC
finally said that he was called Jane!
"Hoptoe," but made no denial when askeC
if his right name was not James Collins
was particularly impudent and foul
mouthed. John II. Miller, who refused
to give his name until the two wer,
brought before Squire Reynolds thi!
morning, was more calculated to excit,
! pity. He said that he had a mother anC
sister TO support and that, being cripple
he supported them by hunting, trapping
and fishing. Collins soon cooled off whei
brought before the Squire, and said tina
they were hunting and fishing to keep on
of the poor house; that they belonged
"down the river and had commenced
seining in the river above Tidioute
couple of weeks ago. He also pleaded TO
lieniency and promised to do no more lille
gitimate fishing. They further agreed t
deliver their seine to the authorities to b
destroyed, and in view of the fact tina
J both were cripplss the prosecution chari
, tably refrained from proceeding further il
the case. They were remanded to tn
lookup until o'clock this afternoon, whel
Major Franklin went up with thom t
! Holman's Island to procure their sein
and to release the large stock of fish the.
had caught illegitimately. The experienc
of these men should serve as a warning +

proposes to have vigorous enforcement
of the game and fish laws in this section
