Look out for the Travelling gro

The Press all over the country has for
some time been warning its readers
against the travelling fake grocer, yet it
seems that there are many who will
profit by nothing but their own person.
al experience. One of our exchanges in
speaking of a delivery of lot of GRO
ceries by one of these cheap John con-
Germs says:
When the delivery was made last
Wednesday people did not examine their
goods until they arrived home and when
they did so they discovered that their
sack OF sugar contained about Que
fourth sugar ana the remainder was
pure salt Others who bought six
pounds of coffee at 80 cents a pound,
found but five pounds, which raised the
price to 40 cents a pound. The goods
were IN many respects unsatisfactory,
but when the poor farmer returned to
get satisfaction he found that the birds
had flown In the night time"
We might mention the names of few
OF our citizens right here who were hit
IN the same way but short time ago
and Will Ind 1T the safest and the cheap
est way in the end TO purchase their
groceries of the reliable home merchant.
The people Of Sank Centre and vicin-
ity by reading the HERALD will always
know where the best and cheapest
goods are sold, and a comparison of
prices with any of the travelling concerns
will convince the purchaser that it is
to his interest to patronize the home
merchant whose guarantee is always
made good. People who will send away
tor their goods and get swind1ed when
they can get genuine article for less
money OF their home merchant deserve
no pity.

A CHAIR OF THE COLONIAL AS
SEMBLY.
While spending an evening in the
town OF Somerset. on a trip through
Western Pennsylvania, met a gentle.
man who was well known in the town.
The conversation drifted from one sub.
iect to another until at last it touched
upon relics Of the Revolutionary war.
When the gentleman asked me if I
would like to see one OF the chairs used
in the Colonial Assembly at once con-
scented and went with him to the law
Office OF Ex-Congressman Aleck Coff-
roth. We were ushered into the front
Office, which was typical one; furnish
ed with desk. a few chairs. book case
and shelves OF law books. We then en-
tered the rear rom. when the genial
general sat surrounded by few Of his
friends. In the centre stands q high
oak table. In one corner an ancient
hall clock, in Its rosewood case. On it's
face are shown the changes Of the
moon. the days Of the month and the
time Of day. This came from the hand
Of an English clockmaker Of an early
date and is fit companion for the his
toric chair in which the fine old general
sat. Its frame is OF mahogany. covered
with dark green leather and is little
the worse for wear. 1t was presented to
Gen. Coffroth by a Mr.. Mullen. Of
Sharpersberg. who had Inherited it.
The presentation was at first made iu a
will by Mr.. Mullen after one Of the gen.
erals famous speeches in Congress.
Afterwards Mr.. Mullen concluded TO
give il to him before his death. There
are only few of these chairs now
known to be in existence. Three in In.

museum IN Washington and one in
another eastern city. II you should
chance to be in this town at any time il
