stereotyped at the Quay Head

give it a circulation over the entire
state. III

What is the matter with the snake
stories in Snyder county this hot
weather The berries abound in
great quantities. Where are the
snakes. the brave men. the seductive
and indispensable mountain dew
and lastly the successful serpent
destroyer Brother Aurand gave
us rather good one last week but
we want few more exciting ones
before the close of the season. Let
them come on.
Rev. j. Nj. Rearick, a Snyder coun-
ty boy hailing from our sister vii
lage, Beavertown, came to Middle
burgh from Centre Hall where he is
prea ching the gospel to good and
faithful people. The Reverend sat
in our Office and chatted pleasantly
with the sub-editor on many topics
during his brief stay. He thinks
Governor Hastings is making Sc
rious error in deserting the people
for the factional fight now raging in
our State politics. Come again, Rev.
Two fascinating, dark eyed Clip
sey girls with raven hair, paraded
our streets several days last week.
They came to beg food, clothing
and money and to tell your fortune.
They were Of the Simon pure type
and their innate nerve and sullen
temper stood them well in hand, to
meet the imbeciIe raillery of the
town kids, who assailed them in
the streets. Our irrepressible Devil,
+. w. Specht, is man of great gall,
but the dark skinned daughters of
the forest were "too many" for him.
Come often girls.
Nj. L. Wagenseller, the popular
and successful representative of one
of Philadelphia's largest wholesale
houses, was a Posi- visitor on Tues
day last. Luther is an enthusiast
on the Grand Army of the Republic
and can entertain the friends in an
interesting manner by graphic re-
cital of the convulsive strife, in
which he bore very conspicu-
Gus and gallant part. Comrade
Wagenseller says, in his judgment,
the old soldier will stand by Col.
Quay in the State fight. Luther is
neither holiday soldier nor a mil
tary martinez, so many of which
over run the country, but he is one
of the grizzled veterans of genuine
stamp, who helped to fight the
bloody and agonizing battles which
stern destiny decreed should stand
in between hated negro servitude
! and an absolute general freedom.
