'This man tells me-" answered the
lawyer, ''that be has within the
past week buried three children
who died from diphtheria.
AT this several people left the
Court room and the Justice moved
I uneasily on the bench
"But, continued the lawyer, as he
also backed away from the plaintiff,
"the man also tells me that he has
child at home dying from this
dreadful disease"
At this point the excitement was
intense and the room was quickly
cleared.
The Justice had cleared his throat
to make some statement, when the
lawyer continued: ''And this man
admits that he is himself now suff-
ering from dipbtheria. "
Down from the bench leapad JUS
tice Murphy, and into his Office he
ran. Then sending for the lawyers,
he said, 'You have children. 1 have
a child that is all in all to me, and
1 don't care what the law is |
am not going to try this case. 1 will
adjourn it for three weeks"
The Court room was disipfected
and all the persons concerned in the
affair took precautions against the
disease.

Quoted tours for 1898.
First comes a series to the Golden

Next in importance comes IL series

and 2S!h. The first four admit OF
two whole weeks in the sunny south

til May Both, 1898.

How To Secure Drumming Phea-
SAINTS.

An old friend of ours while enga-
ged in conversation the other day,
asked us if we knew how to hunt
drumming phoasants, and upon be-
ing informed that long still hunt
following up the sound of the flap
ping wassour method, told us. that
we simply would not be f'in it" with
him. He says that the quickest,
easiest and best method, is to go
walking along whistliDg and making
an ordinary amount of noise, keeping
the direction of the drumming, and
when within sight of him to move on
still whistling. The pheasant will
be still on his log stretching his
neck and keeping both eyes on you.
When you are about past he VIII
think he is safe and you can turn,
take aim and secure him for tn
pot. The whole plot seems reason
able, as ph9asants are surely up to
many sharp tricks to fool the hunter,
one of the most marked being their
habit of remaining motionleas when
they think they are nol observed.
The old man vouches for having
killed many a drummer in the above
manner and it is well worth q trial.

An Old Fiddle.

Says the Bloomfield Democrat =
About thirty-fve years ago William
Davis, brother of Mrs W. II. kistler
of Centre township, put violin on
the upper log of an old house occu-
pied by his father, Morgan Davis, in
same township, and went to Johns
town. When the war broke out he
enlisted and was killed. Some time
after he left, the interior of the house
was plastered, covering the log on
which Mrs Kistler knew her brother
usually placed his violin. The prop
erty passed into the hands of Eph-
rain Clouser, who had the old house
torn down. Mrs. Kistler requested
the workmen to look after the violin
aud there it was, almost good as
ever. The mice had destroyed the
strings. She is having the instru-
ment repaired.

A Valuable Piano Ruined.

c. G. Davis, of Arch street, this
city, had handsome eight hundred
dollar piano ruined Oh Saturday
He employed a piano tuner from Al
toona, and the gentleman went to
work with a viii The strings of the
instrument had become rusted, so the
tuner gave them a good rubbing
with benzine. The lid was raised,
and as the shades of night were COM
ing on the gentleman who was to
give a sweet tone to the piano de
cided to light the gas. He struck a
match and started for the gas Jet.
There was loud report and the
flames from the benzine gas which
had generated in the. piano struck
the ceiling. In a second the
entire piano was in flames and it was
with difficulty that the house was
saved. As it was, the piano was
ruined beyond the hope of repair,
the inside being mass of twisted
wires and burned wood.-Sunbury

Town ship and Borough Au-
disOrs

Uader the new Baker Blllot Law
Township and Borough Auditors
will find additional duties devJlvins
upon them. Section 5, of the law il
question says:
Certificates of nomination ani
nomination papers for candidates
foI township and borough officers
and school directors il the same,
shall be filed with the auditors OF
the respective townships and Dor
oughs at least ten and seven day
respectively before the da7 of cleo
| ton
Therefore, hereafter what are com
monty termed ''spring caucuses,
will have to be held eorlier than has
been tho custom in Junilta county
boroughs and townships, at least ten
days before the spring election,
which occurs on the third Tuesday
of February each year.
TICKETS IiUsT BE PRINTED.
Another important fact to bear in
mind Is that all the ballots will have
to be printed in the same form as
those for the November election
Section l3 of the new law very plain
ly describes this as follows:
THE county commissioners of
each county shall cause all the bal
lots to be used there in to be printed
except for elections officers of town.
ships and boroughs and election
officers and school directors in the
same, the ballots for which shall be
printed and distributed by the au-
ditors who shall certify the cost of
such printing and distribution to
the county commissioners for pay
ment as part of the county election
The said commissi oners
and auditors shall ascertain the of
fees 10 be filed, and shall be respon-
slble for the accurate printing of toe
ballots in accordance with this act
and for the safe keeping of the same
while in their possession or that of
their subordinates or agents"
Thus it viii be seen that the
spring ballots are solely in the hands
Of the borough and township audi
tors; they are acting in the same
;apacity, in there respective muni
cipalities, as the commissioners do in
the county at large.
Ii will therefore become each and
every auditor 10 thoroughly post

nature of the work devolv.ug upon
him is far more exacting than it ever
was before.
