The Americans have been better at
shooting. than any other of the nations
they have been at war with. Their
ann was better than that of the British,
IN the French and Indian war. Their
ann was better in the Revolution against
England. Their aim was better in the
war with England in 1872. Their aim
was better than that of the Mexicans,
and their aim has been better than that
of the Spaniards in the present war for
humanity and free staple government.

a large one i'll Cumberland Valley as

picking, packing and shipping peaches
from the large orchards of the Carlisle
Peach Land Company, near that city,
has commenced. II. p. Cannon. pre>i-

Every mistake that took place i'll the
army is now loaded OH Secretary of
War, Alger, and every mistake in the
management of the navy is loaded on
Secretary Long, of the Navy. As a
people the Americans are too free with
their tongues They have become SO
used to abusing each other with their
tongues that they do not see what an
ugly unkind habit it is, and what it
eventually may lead TO time alone can
tell. But it is not probable that the
coming American is to degenerate iii

Il malignant scold and critic. or into n
soft tahy palaverer.

farms al Curtin Works. Centre county,
was totally destroyed by fire on We'd
neSday afternoon of last week. The ten
ant, Andrew Glenn, was busy hauling
in grain at the time the fire was dis
covered and as the men were all out i'll
the fields very little of his stock was
saved. lie lost a horse, two cows. some
sheep and pigs and most of his imple-
nlents with all of the grain and hay i'll
the barn. As he had no insurance the
loss will fall heavily upon him. Mr..
Curtin had the barn fully insured.
The fire was undoubtedly caused by
combustion.

two Pennsylvania Regiments that have
got into active service-the Tenth at
Manila and the Sixteenth i'll Porto
Rico-have both Won distinction. Col
onel Hulings and his men are particu-
larly praised by General Miles for their
action AT Coamo. Both of these regi-
ments are from the western part of the
State and are among the best In the
volunteer service. No doubt some of
our eastern volunteers would have done
as well. but the war has not been long
enough 10 give all chance. They
must console themselves with the
thought that they have contributed to
the general result, and as Schley says.
there is glory enough to 90 around.
