Brutal Assault.

Saturday night four or five fellows of
this neighborhood made brutal assault
on man named Hays from Eleanora.
We understand that warrants have
been issued for the fellows who assault
ed Hays. From information that we
received concerning the affair the
assault was made without any excuse
for 1t at all. 1t lis time that some Of
the "bullies" in this immediate vicinity
were dealt with severely for assaulting
people. They are entirely too. willing
to assault and thump others. Some Of
them act as II they would rather fight
than eat, especially when they get two
or three drinks of whiskey in them.

PostoHce Inspector.

A postoffice inspector was here last
week looking for larger room to move
the Reynoldsville postfiice into, but we
understand that he left town without
securing suitable room for the price
Uncle Sam wants to pay. The inspect.
or wanted the room in the Nolan block
that Mr.. Sutter will soon vacate, but
didn't want to pay the rent asked. We
have been informed that Uncle Sam
wants large room, wants the owner of
building to put in large case with 400
lock boxes in it, wants burguar proof
vault in building, roll top desk, light,
heat and water included, and will pay
$4,000 per annum for same.
We suppose that II an effort was
made to move the. postoffice very far
from its present location either up or
down the street, that there would be a
howl go up and very likely long
petition sent to Washington protesting
against moving 1t. No doubt Mr.. Ross
can he pursuaded to build an edition on
to the present postollice building.

Small Pox in Town.

There are several cases of small pox
in town and great care should be used
to prevent the disease from spreading.
The cases are in mild form, which has
tendency to make the members of the

be entirely too careless about the mat
ter. A communication from DR.. J. G..

gest that business mans league be

tising schemes, such as hotel registers,

advertising which does the business
fraternity no good in returns whatever.

Coasting on Sidewalks.

Florence Elliott, youngest daughter
of w. G. Elliott, had narrow escape
from serious injury Saturday morning
by being knocked down by coasting
sled. Coasting and skating on side
walks are prohibited by a borough
ordinance, but the boys and girls keep
at it, when sidewalks are In condition
for skating, regardless OF the law, and
pedestrians have to give them the
right-of-way or an accident is sure to
occur. No one enjoys seeing the boys
and girls having good time more than
does the editor Of THE STAR, but they
should not be allowed to engage In such
dangerous sport, to themselves and
others, as coasting and skating on side
walks, and about the only way to put a
stop to 1t is to make several arrests and
then the boys and girls will be con-
vinced that the borough ordinance
means something.

the wealth of Southland has not awakened the cupldity of the bowling dervishes of the C.. 0. P, and they wanta chance to re- peat the rapine and crime of 1S65-i877 The spooners Burtons, McComas, Beveridges, Lodges, headed by Roosevelt hate the South and it's people. They pray Tor an- other John Brown. They await like grin ming hyenas, the opportunity to crush out Southern manhood and womanhood and hlch their share Of Southern gold. S
 The Massachusetts legislature turned the portrait of Charles Sumner te the. wall for protesting against keeping the b&ttle- flags of Southland in glass cases and haunting them in the faces of the rising generation as evidences of Northerntyalor and Southern cowardice. Sumner claimed that it was family fight; that each was actpated by the holest and loftiestspatrir oSisa. and that the shains would lay with the victor and not with the conquered. Sumner was patriot and statesman; he
 was governed by reason and principle; he believed slavery wrong aud denounced it; but he did not hate Southland. Such pa trfotism was beyond the conception soi the canting, hypocritical fellows who coms posed the legislature that attempted to smircb the character Of Charles Summer.
 Today there are ten thousand ties be- tween Southland and Northland that can,
 not be broken ' the whine and howl of the Idervishes will be laughed to scorn and the mountebank chieftain will be relegated to oblivion. The commercial exchanges,
 the boards of trade, the secret and frater- nal societies, the labor organizations, and
