West Chester lie one of the most
beautiful as well as one OF the most
prosperous towns In our country.
Notwithstanding there are few manu-.
featuring establishments, the popula.
ton continues to increase apd now
dwellings are being erected every
year, and many OF them are OF very
attractive and costly character, being
surrounded by spacious grounds, and
constructed of the most substantial
material. indicating good.slzed bank
accounts as well as the possession OF
architectural taste.
Among the improvements now
being made are the erection of new
nails 9nq hospital, and the prepare
tlon OF ball ground, in connection
with the Normal School which Is be-
coming wonderful Institution, as
there are on lis roster the names OF
some 700 students. II Is certainly a
great credit TO the borough. as it is
one OF Its greatest ornaments.
In churches as we'll as In other d.
rections there has been considerable
progress, as they number dozen or
more and the Reformed Episcopal
boasts OF chime of bells that are an
innovation upon the customs OF the
staid followers of Penn that don't.
mated that section in the early days of
our country.
An annex is being erected to the
Court Ho use. giving additional ac-
commodation, and making, quite an
imposing structure. The old jail con-
Itlnues ample to accommodate the
criminals, there being comparatively
few saloons in the county, making a
striking contrast with the condition
of affairs at New Castle.
In their love OF floral display the Ia
dies of West Chester are not peculiar,
and In the decoration OF tho various
churches on Sunday, they found a
worthy coadjutor In Mr.. Joseph Kilt
whose palms are as green and his
roses as red as tho most favored lana
can produce, and the effect was well
calculated to lead the minds OF assem-.
bled worshippers from the contempla-
ton OF nature up to natures God.
In railroads West Chester Is also ad-
vancing the electric cars and the ex-
tension to Lenape being among the
latest innovations. There will he a
further extension In time. as the three
daily papers are wide awake and doing
their hest to keep tho citizens thor
oughly posted ir regard to the pro-
motion Of oil projects calculated to
advance their material welfare.

Where colonies of immigrants have
remained isolated, retaining the use of
their own language, the influence of
witchcraft is more easily traced. The
interior of Pennsylvania affords better
illustrations of this, and on larger
scale than any other state. 1t has been
but two or three years since suit was
brought by man against his mother in
ono of the counties of Pennsylvania to
recover damages for dog which lie
charged her with having killed by witch
craft; and he not only brought suit, but
obtained judgment from q justice of the
peace. Various witnesses testified as to
their experiences in witchcraft, and only
ono said that he had never had o friend
OF relative who was bewitched.-Dr.

There is considerable dissatisfaction
among the pensioners on account OF
the delay in sending them their checks.
The vouchers were executed on June
4, and up to this morning the checks
had not been received. IT is said that
the pension agent and his clerk were
in attendance at the presidential con.
ventlon, but this should not excuse
them for the neglect OF duty.
A soldiers widow. who depends on
the pension to pay her rent Is in dis.
tress. on account of failure to receive
her check, ana does not know what
minute the constable may levy on her
few household effects. Another case
is that OF man, a worthy old soldier,
who depended on the pension cheek
to pay his taxes. but as 1t has not ar
rived Is at tho mercy Of the tax col
lectors. If Mr.. Wilson wishes to go
on iunketing expedition he should
employ some ono to act in his place,
and not subject tho pensioners to all
this trouble.
