Philosopher, " for final consignment of
her wines to be sent to the Powers"

There is vacancy in the postoffice at
Strode's Mills, Pa, for the first time in So
years. 1t is caused by the death of Jo-
seph Strobe at the age of 81, who was ap-
pointed postmaster by President James
X. Polk, October 81, lSi5, and held the
office continuously ever since.
Leave your order for suit or pair of

Pennsylvania has six regiments at
Chickamauga, more than any other State
AT any hour in the day and in any part
of the camp Pennsylvania soldiers may
be seen. They are gentlemanly lot of
fellows and have made most excellent
impression on the other soldiers.
From number of our exchanges we
learn that new swindlng scheme has
been launched on the public. 1t is known
as the silk swindle The frm(?) send
oHt circulars Offering, in order to intro
duce their goods, 10 yards of silk for 81.
It's a.fraud pure and simple, so don't
bite unless you wish to get sold.
The standard of Spain may fall, but
the standard of high-grade clothing at
Miles & Armstrong's will always re-
main. It
Here's one which the Buffalo Courier
claims was too hard for his Honor Mayor
Diehl of that place: Dewey l, Schley OF,
Sampson O22. After vainly endeavoring
to decipher the "cipher," he called for an
explanation, which was given as follows !:
Dewey won, Schley ought to, and Samp-
son ought to too.
The 10th Regiment will not be sent to
Cuba. 1t is "bob-tail' or eight COM
pany regiment, and General Brooke has
decided that only twelve company regi-
ments shall 60 TO the front. However
their friends and families at home NAV
view the matter, there is no doubt that
the boys themselves will be keenly dis
appointed.
The town of Gordon, Schuylkill coun-
ty, was the scene the other day of most
unique flag-raising. steel wire had
been stretched from one mountain peak
to another across the town, and from this
huge flag was suspended. The height
of the mountain top above Briddle
street is $50 feet, and the flag is 800 feet
above the ground. The length of tho wire
is 1900 feet or almost exactly half mile.
The flag is 10 by 80 feet.
The 10th Regiment, says the Chatta-
nooga Times, comes from the oil regions
of Pennsylvania, aud there is consider
able talk of placing large force of the
enlisted men in charge of the well drill
ing at Chickamauga. One of the officers
yesterday remarked "We have plenty of
men in this regiment who could rush
this well-drlling through in hurry.
The present force has been ten days try
ing to drill well in this camp and has
about completed one-half of their task. 1
am confident our men could put down a
well in thirty-siX hours"
Ex-senator John J. ingalls,, of Kan
