shun notorety, make an honest living
by honest means, follow the golden rule,
humbly serve the living God pursue the
even tenor of their way, and neglect
no opportunity of doing good. While we

Since last week we have had another
breakup, the ice in the smaller streams,
which had formed to a considerable
thickness, having gone out on flood
nearly equalling the one of two weeks
previous in height of water stage. The
rains beginning on Friday night contin-
ued at intervals throughout Saturday
and on Sunday morning we had regu-
lar spring pourdown, with vivid flashes
of lightning and heavy thunder accom-
paniments. The snow has about all dis
appeared from the open fields, and the
slelghng is practically at All end in many
spots.
The Auditors report and Commits
sionels s. statement of the financial condi-
ton of the county is published in this
issue, and will doubtless be read with
interest by the taxpayers of the county.
On the whole the exhibit is creditabe
one to the officials, showing as it does a
balance on the right side OF the ledger on
the county account to the amount of ST.
757.07. On the Poor account the balance
is still the other way. but has been con-
siderably reduced from last years show
ing, and with wise and conservative
management will be wiped out without
scarcely being noticed.

The New Agey House, at Leeper, Pa.
is one of the neatest, cleanest and best
conducted hotels to be found in the coun-
try, and under the management of Harry
A. Agey is having nice run of custom,
many sleighing parties having found 1t a
pleasant place to visit during the past
winter. The building is new, and
throuhout is adorned with modern forni-
ture and fixtures, making the surround
ings very cozy and comfortable. With a
genial and good -natured landlord, and a
patronage composed ofsuch affable gen.
tlemen as our old friend, J. r. Alt, there
is every inducement for the travelling
public to patronize the New Agey.
The Brookvile Republican, in its
record of the recent court proceedings in
jefferson county, has the following:
There was but one other case on the list
for the present term, that of Charles Cor
bet VS.. William Dickey and Frank ".
Kreiter, and this case also resulted in a
verdict for the defendants. In this case
the plaintiff, who is a memher of the firm
of Collins, Kreitler & Co, at Nebraska,
Forest county, sought to obtain relief

Kreitler & Co. number of years ago, on
the ground that the contract with Fem
was entered into before he became a
member of the firm.
IT. d. Collins, the wealthy lumber
man, of Nebraska, Forest county, Pa,
was in Brookville last week, in attend
ance on our court, where he was party
in a cause being tried. Mr.. Collins is
said by persons well informed on the
subject, to be the largest contributor to
the cause of missions in the United States
He is member of the M. T.. church, and
his contributions yearly to the mission
airy society of that church is six thousand
dollars. Besides this, and in addition to
it, he made contribution last year,
through Bishop G. G. McCabe. of one
hundred thousand dollars to the parent
missionary society of the NJ. f.. church,
to be paid in ten equal annual payments.
This liberality to the cause of missions is
not equalled anywhere in the M. E.,
church. nor in any other church in the
