Berzelius, who discovered the ele-

was not able to smell strong ammonia,

TOWNSHIP COMMISSIONERS.

The York delegation in the general
assembly, now has under consideration
a matter that is of no little Importance
to the county. 1t is the selection of
township commissioners.
Under the law these commissioners
are appointed by the governor; but as
it is unreasonable to expect that off,
cial to be thoroughly acquainted with
the best material in all the townships
in the state, he has to rely entirely
upon the recommendations of the
county delegations.
In some of the counties it is custom.
ary to select the township commission
ers by primary election but in York,
about the only expression there has
been from the people on the subject
has been in the form of petitions to
the members of the general assembly.
In some of the townships petitions
are already in circulation; but The
ENQUIRER has no information as to
the names of candidates, etc.
