License for PeddIers,

In the Butler court, a decision was
rendered sustaining the imposition of
fine by the borough upon an offender
against an ordinance prohibiting
peddling. The Butler Times says:
"An interesting case disposed of in
court was that of Butler borough vs..
John Hagins. The defendant in the
case represented an out-of-town
grocery firm and sold to Butler people
on orders, delivering the goods to the
purchasers. Information was made
against him by the borough authorities
and he was fined for selling without a
license. He appealed from the decision
of the burgess and the case was heard
in court and the decision is now made
in favor of the borough. The case was
an exceedingly important one, as the
decision gives the borough the right to
collect fine from persons selling by
order"

Post Mortem Praise,

A minister in the West preached a
brief but beautiful funeral sermon the
other day. Here it is: A word to you
all. Post mortem praises and love are
in the air. People kiss their dead but
never stop to kiss their living; they
hover over open caskets in hysterie
sobs, but fail to throw their arms
around their loved ones who are fight
ing the stern battles of life A word OF
cheer to a struggling soul in life is
worth more than the roses of Christen.
dom piled high on casket cover. The
dead cannot smell flowers but the living
can; scatter them broadcast in Their
pathway therefore, and pluck out the
thorns before it is too late.

Remarkable cal

NJ. Blodge5, Of slnnamahoning, was
in town last Monday and made us
short, pleasant call, and tells this of :
remarkable COW owned by his father.
He said the COW had a peculiar fond
ness for apples and that on one occa,
sion, after she had gotten into neigh
boris orchard and eaten all the apples
she wanted his mother MIXED her
churned the milk and got three quartz
of good apple butter. On another oc.
casion the COW ate of the tail of a
rooster that roasted in the stall with
her, and the next morning, in place OF
giving milk, she gave a gallon and
half Of the finest kind Of cocktail. Itn
needless to say that Dalrymple kept
his distance.

Predicted darfield's Assassination

|
In the spring of 1882 the writer of tina,
met a man, whom We shall call Mr.. D.
who had tale to tell which if not true
was certainly quite interesting He wa
man of culture and address, but wss
what might be termed an anti Masonic
| crank.
In June 1880 he was spending few
hours at Niagara Falls. Among tho
crowds were many politicians just returr-
ing from the Republican national conven
ton. His attention was drawn in par
tlcular to two men Of distinguished ap-
pearance, and getting into conversations
with them learned that they were the
nominees for President and Vice-Presi.
dent. Gen. Garfield began to speak Of
the policies he expected to carry out ii
elected President, especially with regard
to the reform of the civil service.
MAY [ ask, General, said Mr.. d., "if
you are a Free Mason" II am" Garfield
replied.
"Then permit me to say that if you at
tempt to carry out this policy which you
have outlined, you will be assassinated."
"Why 500"
Because you are bound by the oath Of
your order not to turn down any of your
brother Masons. If you do 50 you will
meet with trouble"
Mr. ID. then proceeded to advise Gar.
field to renounce Freemasonry. M.
Arthur broke in saying, General Gar
field is not the man to do that"
As they parted Mr.. D. reiterated his
warning and advice.
According to Mr.. D., Guiteau was a
Precursor, and his crime was committed
in reVange for what Guiteau regarded as
un9rateful and disloyal treatment from .
brother Mason When the shooting oc
Cured, Secretary Blaine, who was with the
President, spIang towards the assassin
but stopped suddenly when the latter made
a mysterious sign. Although Guiteau
has been sentenced, - said Mr.. D., "mark
my words, he will never be executed
The Masons will save him..
The writer had been brought up to
entertain holy dread of Freemasonry,
and this story at the time intensified thh
feeling. But in many years acquaintance
with members Of the Masonic order he
has never been able to come upon the
traces Of anything worse than an oc.
casional conspiracy to give an etfectual
and quiet lift to a deserving man whee
he is down.

his leg and was captured. The others

if he divulged anything regarding
their manner of escape, which
was effected by digging through the
cell partition with an iron bar which
they broke off the corridor rail

NeWspaper LAWS.

The following rules are laid down by
the Government for the prot lection of
newspapers:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered
as wishing to continue their subscrip-
ton.
If subscribers order the discontinue
ance of their periodicals, the publisher
may continue to send them until all
arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing publishers, and pa.
pers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that refus-
ing to take periodicals from the office
before removing, and leaving them un-
called for, is prima facie evidence of
intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice to the pub
Usher at the end of that time, if thev
do not wish to continue taking it.:
otherwise the publisher is authorized to
send it on, and the subscriber will be
responsible until an express notice,
with payment of all arrears, is sent to
the publisher.
II is a dangerous trick for n man to
allow his subscription account to run
on from year to year unpaid, and then
tell the postmaster to mark refused, -
or TO send the editor anoticc TO discon-
tinue the paper.

EIOUSLER.

The death of Alden Housler. of Rich
Valley, last Sunday evening removes a
well known figure from the business
circles of Cameron county. Probably
two weeks ago he was seen on the
streets of our town, apparently in his
usual health though infirm, from his
nearly SO years oflife. He was confined
to his bed for not more than ten DAYS
and was in full possession of his mental
faculties to the very last. He was con-
scious that the end was near, but ex-
pressed his readiness to go and spoke
words of comfort to the members of
the family gathered about him.
For number OF years he affiliated
the with Methodist Episcopal Church
He enjoyed the esteem of an extensive
circle Of friends by whom he will be
greatly missed.
Mr.. Housler was born in Freehold,
Monmouth County, N. j., but removed
to this section about fifty years ago,
where he has since resided. He is sur
vived by one brother, Joseph Housler,
of Lock Haven, 80 years of age, who
was with him when he died; was the
father of eight children five of whom
are living, Mrs. VIM. Cramer of town,
Mrs. Ella Swartwood, Mrs. Iillman
Chadwick, George E. Housler and S.
D. Housler.
Funeral services were held in the
Rich Valley church, Tuesday at three
O'Clock and were numerously attended
They were in charge of the Rev. G. G..
Wagner, who had visited him during
his last illness and who paid fitting
tribute to his memory. The Rev. O..
Metzler assited in the services.
A male quartette composed of II. C.
Olmsted, Charles H. Felt, !. K. Hook
ley and George Metzger, Jr, rendered
appropriate singing.
