PoTrsvILLE, Feb. 2s.-Next summer
when all the farm work is done about town
and the rubbish is burned up, some attention
ought to be paid to the Henry Clay monu-
ment. The grounds about it need looking
after and the monument, if the people of the
chief city of the county are too poor to
pay for having it painted, should at least
receive a coat of whitewash This should
be done, even if the hat must be passed
around to pay the expense.
Representatives of Gowen Post left for
Philadelphia yesterday to attend The Depart
ment Encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic. One of them said an effort
would be made to get the Encampment to
meet here next year, but others said they
knew nothing Of the project,
Crows stupendOus majority and the re
ductiOn of 10 per cent, in the rates Of pay of
the employees of the p. & r. shops has

people Of Pennsylvania have condemned the
! Democratic administration, and the reduction
Of wages is sufficient to make those in Schuyl-
! kill county who have stayed aU home al the
last election resolve to he at the polls for Re
publican victory hereafter
| Every day the sentiment against the Viii.
son free trade bill and like measures by the
present Congress is becoming more bitter, and
/ if the Republicans of this county use good
| judgment and make up their ticket of gooa
material they will elect every nominee, from
| Congressman down to Poor Director.
There is some talk of holding a joint re
union Of the 4Sth and 96th regiments here

celebrated Schuylkill regiments.

language. The court took the papers Z h,

The judges Of the courts are up to thei
ears in business. They have scores of i'm
portant cases in which decisions must b.
rendered and next Monday term Of cour
