A Rare Native Tipple.

Talking about whiskey,' said a mild
hammered gentleman, who takes his tod
only upon prescription of his physician, one
evening recently in the presence Ofa HERALD
reporter, ''it is generally known that intoxi-
cants can be manufactured out of anything
from rye to the printed labels on tomato cans,
but it remained for citizen ofSOmeret coun-
ty to distill whiskey from huekleberries. A
good many years ago there lived in the
mountain above Salisbury German named
Miller, who following the custom of those
degenerate days built small distillery close
by his home. l. happened one season that
there was an ABUNDANT crop of huckleberries
and Miller's wife and children gathered a
number Of bashe Of the little blue, woody
fruit. The economical housewife carefully
placed the berries in the old fashioned bake
oven to dry. thinking to convert them into
pies during the winter months. Her hus-
band came across the dried fruit one day and
conceived the idea of distilling it into the
stuff that cheers" Accordingly the dried
huckleberries were 'ma,hed' and, after being
put through the fermsniing process, in due
time produced a half-barrel of huckleberry

case aud on one Of the visits bis wife paid me
in regard 10 securing her husbands release
from Jail, she presented me with jug filled
with the huckleberry whiskey. Well, it set
around my house for several years when one
day my wife called my attention to it. Court

The First of April.

Different business methods prevail in Som
erset county to-day from those in vogue ten
or twelve years ago, when all accounts and
debts become due and payable April ist.
Then every farmer who was owing a pay
ment on his farm, and every business man
who had local obligations TO meet, was ex-
pected to come to time, and woe betide him
if be did not have the guelt" on the first
day of April. All notes and mortgages Civ
en- during the year fell due on April lst, in
fact all business whatsoever dated from
that day in the year, and it was recogni zed
throughout our local world as settle day.
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick max
er looked forward to April lst with the great
estinterest, for on that day they Cancelled
their books and began business anew. Usu-
ally the same pocket that carried money in
the morning held it again at night but not
until after it had paid the debts OF a half
dozen or more persons. Lawyers prepared
for April lst as they now do for an import
ant session Of court, for on that day they
drew up all the deeds and mortgages, enter
ed and satisfied all thejudgments of the bus
iness year The Clerk of the Courts was
made the custodian oflarge amounts placed
in his hands TO satisfy judgments. Curb
stone brokers loaned out their money on ap-
proved security at way beyond the legal rate
of interest and then quietly waited until
April lst, when they demanded the prinei-
pal only to reinvest it.
Streets were crowded on April lst as
they never were on any other day of the
year Farmers from all sections ofthe coun-
ty were drawn here on that day if they want
ed TO pay or borrow money, or If they had
any business outside Of the daily routine To
transact.
Then, too April lst was moving day for all
families who made change OF residence
during the year, and men. women and chill
dren were on the go with their household
goods and live stock. In short april isi
commenced the year throughout Somerset
county In both business and social affairs
The first day of April was regarded in other
counties Of the State where the. German ele.
ment predominates, in much the same man
ner.
But the wheels of progress never turn
back, " and all this is rapidly changing-sl-
though it was KEEP, up to some extent Sstur-
day, when our local banks did the Ia rgesl
business in their history, and the streets
were crowded with people-Money can now
be borrowed on any business day and for al
most any length of time at the legal rate oI
interest Merchants dos cash business, OF
demand monthly or quarterly settlements
Lawyers find little if any more to do on
April lat than on other days of the year
while curb-stone brokers are willing to loan
out their money without the stipulation
that it falls due on April lst.

The following from the Bellefonte Watch-
Haa, concerning a gentleman who Is pleas
antly remembered by many Of our readers.
will be read with interest:
" Thomas A Shoemaker has resigned the
snperintendency Of the Bellefonte Central
railroad to devote his entire time to the
management Of the Bellefonte Furnace COM
pany's plant at this place. Under Mr.. Shoe
makers conservative direction the Central

his untiring efforts the public Is largely in
debted for the present efficient system OF
train service along the line between this
place and State College. and to his timely
suggestions Bellefonters owe the beautiful
resort, Hunters Park, which has gained
such popularity. The iron business is not q
new one for Mr.. Shoemaker aud be will
make as much of 8 sueoess Of it as be has OF

As the result Of engaging in drunken row
at West Salisbury, last Tuesday afternoon,
Simon Hammer is hammering away at pris-
on fare in the county Jail. Simon went into
Williams hotel with his pockets filled with
stones and Immediately began to hammer
down the house. In a few minutes land
lord Williams was hammering Hammer, as
be had a tight to do in order 10 protect his
household goods, and in short time had
hammered him into a state of unconscious
ness. Simon recovered sufficiently after
while and attempted to hammer the land
lords son but got hammered in return until
be was again on the fioJr. At this juncture
the borough policeman appeared and ham
mered Mr. Hammer from the hotel TO the
lookup. He was given bearing the follow
ing morning, when he was committed to jail
10 await the action of the grand jury. Ham
mer is said to be desperate character and
to have richly deserved the hammering he
received.

The shelves of his mammoth store are filled
with all new goods and he is detG rmined
that they shall be replaced with new goods

ofthe latest cut aud best material for the

Ifcurrent reports are true Meyesdale has
been buying oleomargarine for butter. The
law holds dealers u strict account, and in
formations, we understand have been made
by revenue officials against several of our
dealers. We know nothing of the facts, bu,
presume it is only justice to the dealers to
say that they have been victimized by the
creamery sharks. 1t takes an expert 10 dis
,iBguish the product of the Oleomargarine
factory from the poor quality Of butter now
too commonly made and sold hereabouts.
In some instances the former is decidedly
preferable, and dealers who desire to do so
can handle it, provided they comply with
the law and sell it for what ii really is. The
public have a right to complain If a ten-cent
compound is foisted upon them for D cent
butter. The best safeguard for dealers is to
steer clear of the "creameries7 that food the
market with the artificial stuff under the
guise Of gilt-edged butter. One Of these con-
Germs, if We remember Alright, was prosecut-
ed year or two ago, but its profits are enUr
nous and it can well afford to pay heavy
tine now and then-NeyeTsdale Register.
