Ttie tariff now is io full operation and price not high. With the exception of farm j rod nets, they are very much as th"y were a year cpo. There is no ap-x-arsnce of a general increase rates.

Tbe Republicans hereabouts are well pleas ed with tbe Pieridenl's message. An infant child of Mr. and Mr. C. F. Zimmerman waa buried on last Thurs day. Mrs. John Megaban.oflatrobe, is vi&iling her mother, Mis. George Heilley, of thia place. ' Tbe youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Brubaker died on Friday night, and was bnried ou Sunday last. We are pained to I earn of the serious ill- neta of Mr. K. O. Landis, but hope be will soon be sble to be about again. Tbe ladies of the Lutiieran congregation held a festival above the storeroom of utt. Floto last week, and it was a gratifying suc- ccess, train financially and otherwise. Tbe concert given by tbe young folks ot tbe Ueforroed church of tbis place, on lasi. t-Mlnrday evening, was a success financially. and the audience was well pleased with lh entertainment. Tbe readers of the III bald were much pleased with be account of " Tbe Next Hope Will be Stronger," in Ian week's issue. The almost universal verdict was, " Give us the Uebalu for reliable news in detail." A move is on foot to hold an entertain ment in the ner future, the piocetds to be used in the purchase of better street lamps for the town. Our borough dads seem to love darkness better then light, consequent ly we have but few street lamps, and those of a very inferior kind. The Knights ofthe Golden Ejgle are try ing to get the people of this town and vicini ty interested in tbe building of a town hall. A considerable amount of stock has been taken, and the project wi(J undoubtedly be a success. Tbis would fill a long felt want. and we sincerely hope thai, tbe matter will be pushed for all that is in it. Rev. J. A. Knrpper will leave for Johns town about the last of this month. Rev. Eneppcr wat reared at this place, and con sequently ia well known to all our people ; and when we say that we regret bis removal we but voice tbe sentiment of this entire community. He has always been a good, progressive citizen, and a conscientious and faithful pastor. Our best wishes accompany him to bis new field of labor. On Thursday night burglars sg&inAilitd their nefarious busioes iu our town. Tbe front door of the boot snd shoe store of W. H. Manges was forced in and a number of tboes stolen, together with tbe cash that had been left in th drawer tbe previous night. Tbe store room of Ball Bros, was tried in both rear and front, but waa too securely barred this time for th " bounds" to force it open. Somebody will "hand in his checks" In the near future if tbis wotk is not stopped. My advice is work, pay for what you get, and slop your stealing. It is a self-evident fact that those parties who do not earn two dollars a month, and at tbe same time eat, live and bring up families, either steal or defraud. Gkaht. Beau. Pa., December 8, 1890.
