NEWSY NOTES.

1t is now proposed to devote the pro-
ceeds of the recent Warren centennial to
the erection of a hospital rather than do.
mating it to the library fund.
Judge Harry White, who during his
first term of ten years refused all appli-
cants for license to sell liquor, has re-
Gently granted the petitions of three ho-
tells in Indiana county.
Swift's livery stable at Franklin was
burned on Sunday night last, and with il
four valuable horses and large part of the
rigs, robes, ETC., kept in the stables. In
cendiarism is suspected. Loss about
$500. No insurance.

Warren's "Coal Oil Johnnie' comes in
to the possession of 100000. Andy has
already finished up about million dol
lars and is the best known sport in the
oil regions.
Electricity has, to a large extent,
pushed the horse aside for draught pur-
poses, and now comes the "horseless
carriage" to end the uses of the noble an
imal for pleasure purposes. A road car
riage propelled by electricity recently
made the run between Paris and Bor-
deaux and return, distance of 1856 miles,
at an average speed of fifteen miles an
hour. A Chicago firm has Just offered
a prize of $4,000 for the best time made
by similar carriage on proposed race
from Chicago to Franklin
News.
The grape-growers in Erie county are
of the opinion that about one-half the
usual crop will be harvested this year.
but they are not down-hearted over this
fact. The price to be charged for grapes
will be fully twice as much as was
charged last year. The spring frosts
proved most disastrous 10 many of the
grape-growers, but some of the vine
yards will show up half a crop. This is
the opinion of the vineyard men, based
on the present condition of the crop. In
some localities the punches seem TO be
hanging on the vines just as thick as the
vines can hold. The punches themselves
seem to be fine ones. Where the frost
was escaped, the amount promises 10 be
above the average.

EDITOR SMITH, of the Punx'y
Spirit, was boy once, and with some
of the rest of US thinks the "main
chance" in the modern celebration OF
the glorious old 4th is lost sight of to
a great extent. Hear him:
There was one thing lacking in our
Fourth of July celebration. There
we're no speeches-no reading of the
Declaration of Independence. The
struggles Of our Revolutionary an.
cestors were not retold. The bloody
footprints of the heroes of Valley
Forge were not shown to our youth,
and there was nothing said of Israel
Putnam or Ethan Allen, nor we're
any references made TO Lexington
and Concord and Bunker Hill. All
this is old to you and 1, and the elo.
1uence of the parvenue orator who
rehearses all this might be monoton.
Gus to US. But it was the delight of
our youth, and thrilled US with pa.
triotism and pride. To those old
Fourth of July speeches we owe
much of our love and loyalty to the
flag. That custom should not be
permitted to become obsolete. A
Fourth of July celebration that does
not make clear to our youth why we
celebrate, infuse iuto their minds a
little of the spirit of '76, and make
them glad and grateful for liberty,
proud of onr institutions and of the
achievements of our sturdy ancestors,
does not accomplish its best purpose.

In passing upon the appropriation
bills, Gov. Hastings has dealt quite a
blow at the Institution for Feeble
Minded, in course of erection at
Polk. He sigued the bill, but excep.
ted s250,OOO appropriated for the
construction and completion of a
chapel, three double cottages and an
industrial school, for which the Com.
mission have an optional contract.
The veto is made because of insult.
cient funds. Considering that Con.
tractor Ralph's contracts for mater.
ial, made before the recent large ad.
vance in prices, would enable him to
complete the work according to the
plans adopted, at a figure many
thousands of dollars below what the
State will have to pay under a new
contract, it is false economy to defer
the completion of the Institution, to
say nothing of the urgent need Of
room and accommodations for the
class of unfortuDates for whom it is
intended. -Franklin Ne,cs.

Thaddens Stevens.

Thaddeus Stevens is one Of the few
great civil characters developed by
the civil war that will grow in lustre
on the pages OF American history,
long after many of the men who we're
engaged on the field aud forum dur.
ing that conflict, shall have been for.
gotten. He held the one civil posi-
tion during the war that could be
held only by pre.eminently deserving
it. He was the great Commoner Of
the conflict.
Presidents, Cabinets, Senators and
Representatives may be accidents,
and even ganerals may come to lead
great armies and achieve undying
fame by accidental triumph ou the
field, but the Commoner of the four
years civil conflict, whose leadership
was undisputed by any during all
that period, filled the one office being
confessed by all as 1.-The leader of
leaders"
Thaddeus Stevens was not only a
picturesque figure in the most mem.
orable civil conflict of modern times,
but was one of the most unique char.
aoters ever developed in Pennsylva.
MIA politics. He was the founder of
the free school syetom of our State,
although native of the chilly hills
of Vermont, and it is undisputed that
be won the final victory for the free
education of the youths of our State
by the most convincing and eloquent
appeal ever made in the House of
Representatives at Harrisburg. He
was without wife or children, and his
battle was solely for those who we're
strangers to his blood. In that great
conflict against the prejudices of
Pennsylvania he was entirely consist.
ent with himself as one of noblest
philanthropists who enriched the an.
mails of the Commonwealth by his
achievements.
SO strong were the prejudices of the
people Of Pennsylvania against gen.
eral education aided by the Stale,
that Mr.. Stevens lost his reelection
to the House on that single issue, but
he never faltered in his great task
and he was subsequently returned to
his legislative duties by overwhelm.
ing majOrities to complete the benef.
cent work he had inaugurated. While
generally regarded as man of radi.
cal views and aims, he was simply in
advance of practical attainments in
the best efforts of humanity, and the
world has steadily progressed since
his day until it has reached the full
fruition of nearly every humane
teaching he gave during his public
career.
The history of man like Thadde-
US Stevens is full of romance, and yet
he was one of the most stern and prac.
tical of all our public men. With his
great record as the Commoner of the
war students of history are familiar.
Altogeth his life is one of the most
interesting studies the age.-Phila.

is on the lookout for John M. Smith,
whose absence from his home here is
so mysterious. Smith has been cashier
of the Moody and Brewster private
bank, besides doing money.lending
business on his own account. He had
collected several thousand dollars
when last seen, which was Thursday of
last week. and the theory is that he
has been lured into the suburbs and
made away with. His books show g.
