We note with much satisfaction the
selection by the slate committee of the
House at Harrisburg, of Hon. James N.
Moore, of Butler. for the important po-
sition of Journal Clerk OF the new legis-
lature. While Jim has at times wabbled
little in his allegience to the majority
side of his party he always was credited
with possessing the courage of his con-
victions. and it never has been necessary
to beat around the bush to find "where
he was" and that he will prove himself
an efficient officer goes without saying.
Stephen Taft, employed at Urey's
livery barn. met with very painful ac-
cdent yesterday morning. One of the
horses had gotten the halter rope over
his head and Stephen passed into the stall
to free the animal, and doing so the horse
lurched sidewise catching his right arm at
the wrist and jammng the elbow against
the side of the stall in such manner as
to break both bones near the wrist so that
they protrudec through the flesh. DR..
Bovard dressed the wound and made his
patient as comfortable as possible, but
Mr.. Trait will be long time laid up by
his injury, which may leave him perma.
nently crippled.
"A new counterfeit 800 gold certificate
is being circulated in this State which it
would be well for merchants and others
handling much money to be on the look
out for. The bill is OF the series of 1882
and has portrait of Garfield. 1t Is a
very poor Photographic production, print
ed on two pieces of paper, with heavy
red and blue silk threads distributed be-
tween them An attempt has also been
made to tint the notes but the led aud
yellow inks have been so unskillfully
applied that the bogus bill can be readily
d tected. The United States treasury de-
the public to be on the look out for the
new counterfeit
VIM. Harrison. one of Green Twp's
old and we'll known residents, was taken
to the Titusvlle hospital Monday for the
purpose of having his left leg operated
upon. Mr.. Harrison has been afflicted
for some time with an affection of the
knee joint which had grown so trouble
some that he sought relief in a hospital
in Philadelphia. from which city he re-
turned on the 9th ult., having had an
for a1 al hot ,la "a
trouble continued TO grow worse. The
limb was amputated between the knee
aud thigh, Drs. Coulter of Oil CITY, Ward
of Titusville and Beatty of Leeper, per-
forming the operation shortly after the
patients arrival at the hospital. 1t is be-
lieved this will be the means of saving
Mr.. Harrison's life. The doctors dag
nosed the disease as tuberculosis.
The Joint installation ceremonies of
the Post and Corps officers held in their
hall last Wednesday evening were well
attended and most successfully carried
out. Mrs. Abbie Lynch, department
secretary, installed the Corps officers,
which interesting ceremony was a very
pleasing feature of the evenings doings,
The ladies had their usual fine spread
ready at the close of the exercises and the
bountifu lunch was discussed with a rel
sh that bet kened keen and lively ap-
probation OF the excellence of the viands
set before the large assembIage. After
the banquet "camp fire. was held and
many happy speeches we're listened to,
and.a a late hour the party dispersed
more than pleased with the delightful
evenings enjoyment. Mias Kellar gave
several recitals, and Miss Nellie Carson
favored the audience with a number of
vocal selections.
There is no use worrying, fretting
aud losing sleep berause some one has
found fault with what you do. 'Tis the
common lot Of a man in business. The
merchant doesn't please all of his custo
mers the postmaster is cuffed and kicked
for alleged mistakes; the railroad agent is
frequently backed up in the corner and
given TO understand this aud that and tha
other thing; the butcher is forever remind.
ed of The tough steak, and even the min
lister finds it hard to please all the con-
gregation with his best sermons. II you
do not believe this ask these men. The
newspaper man gets more than his share
Of il. and is expected to get out a cheer
ful newspaper all the same A man be-
! friends another for wears and is turned
down and abused. Such things are not
pleasant, but they always have been and
doubtless always will he, and the MAJ

one who pays the least attention to then
and goes right along trying to be pleasant
and useful.
Clarion county must build poor
house. Among the opinions of the Su7
preme Court handed down last week was
one reversing Judge Wilson in the mat
ter of the county buying farm and erect
ing county home for the poor. The
poor oversee RS of Edenburg and Clarion
petitioned Judge Wilson for a writ of
mendamus on the county commissioners,
compelling them to buy a farm and con-
structing poor house. Judge Wilson
dismissed the petition Of the appellants
and an appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. That tribunal reversed the de.
cision of the lower court and remitted the
records with instructions that peremp-
tory mandamus he issued as prayed for
and that the county commissioners pay
the costs. The people of Clari n need
have no uneasiness about the change in
the system which a county home will in
volve. If their officials exercise good
judgment in the erection of the home, as
lid Forest county, the citizens will like
the new order Ofthings much better than
under the antiquated overseer system,
for it will prove more humane and much
less expensive.
