It is important for young women contem -plating marriage with a veteran for pension purposes to note that a law has been passed on the subject. By the provision of tbe disability act, marriages contracted after last Jane do not entitle the widows thereof to draw a pension. This is rather rough on the old soldiers, whose chances of getting a young wife are largely reduced, but it will save our posterity several generations hence from sach a pension roll as we are carrying, on which are tbe names of twenty three Revolutionary widows, over one hundred years after the close of that war. Harry Gilbert, eldest son of policeman Gilbert of this borough, was placed under arrat by a deputy sheriff from Westmore land county Friday afternoon and taken to Greensburg to answer a charge of murder. Harry was a member of the Sheriff's poese which fired into tbe ranks of the strikers with sach deadly effect at the Morewood mines, near Mt. Piemen t, some three weeks ago. He came to his home in this place tbe say following and was expecting to be placed under arrest every day. Tbe prose cutions against tbe sheriffs posse were brought by the strikers.

The dwelling sod barn of Esquire Elijah King, ia Upper Turkeyfcot township, were entirely consumed by fire Friday afternoon. The family were all away from home at the time, and tbe fire was undoubtedly of incen diary origii. Mr. King and his brother were spending the day fishing for troat in tbe clear waters of Laurel Hill creek, near by, and had gone to tbe bouse and eaten a lunch at noon. There was no fire in the house at that hour. They discovered the fire shortly after 2 o'clock and too late to check its progress. A stable belonging to Mr. King's brother William, located a short distance from tbe barn, and in which from twenty to thirty Uns of hay were stored, was also eaten np by the flames. A covered bridge crossing laurel Hill creek, twenty rods from the house, was also ignited by the flames, but was saved from total destruction. Mr. King s loss ia estimated at $2,.J0. He had a small insurance. A destructive forest fire is now raging near Somerset and is trending in an easterly d.rection. sweeping all before it- Much val uable timber baa been burned, thousands of acres havice been licked clean. Tbe farmers are busv Eahtina tbe flames, bat many fence, houses ai.d barns are threatened. The fire was started by a spark from a loco motive of the Baltimore & 'bio Railroad falling aniotot some dry leaves. The loss wiii airea!y amonnt to thousands of dollars. The present fire is the most destructive one that has ever occurred in Somerset county. ror miles there is desolation on every hand. In the vicinitv of Bear's Rxk. seven miles from S merset. every tree and plant has been consumed. Forest fires are also raging in the vicinity of Scalp Level and in Paint and t'irle townships. It Us not known bow these tires started. Jnhnstottm. Ueriii-L The writer of the above must have eyes of 'double million magnifying power," to en able him to see a fire of such magnitude here no fire of sny consequence exists. The home of Daniel Stahl, in Milford township, was burned to the ground Friday night, with all of its contents. Mr. Stahl was away from home, and his wife and hired man did not discover the flames until it was too late to save any of tbe household eff-c.s. In fact, had it not been for the re markable intelligence of the farm dog, the hired man would certainly have perished in the flames. He was sleeping soundly in a room above the kitchen, where the fire orig inated, and was only aroused by the dog jumping against hia bedroom door and bark ing loudly. Wben finally aroused, he had barely lime to make his escape through a window, and was compelled to leave the faithful dog to roast in the burning building. Tbe fire is supposed to have resulted from a defective Hue. The bouse was !d and of very little value. It was fully eovered by insurance. The loss of the hooi hold goods is cons.derable, everything being new. Mr. Stahl is a son cf Wo. H. Stahl, of Somer set township. Qiitc a stir of excitement was created anions the crowd around the public square Saturday afternoon, when Policeman Gilbert undertook to' take in" two young gentle men from the country, who evidently im agined they were " boozed " after drinking a glass of beer. Tbe sidewalk was entirely too narrow for the young fellows, and they were jostling into ladies and gentlemen in discriminately when the policeman collared the taller of the two and asked a bystander to take charge of the other. The bystander was too slow for the limber-legged youth, however, and before he could get to bim the beer bad left his legs, and kicking np the dust in tbe roadway, he disappeared down Turiteyfoot street, amid tbe shouts of tbe crowd. I'ersoli landed his prisoner in the lockup as speedily as passible, and a half hour afterwards came marching through the streets with hia now sobered and frightened companion in tow. Both prisoners were kept in the "cooler" over night, and were brought before Burgess Weltley on Sunday morning, wben they were fiued and dis ni beted. The prosecutions brought by Thomas H. Grvevy, of Altoona, against Capt. Wm. H. Sur.ner, James M. Cover and 8. S. Forney, E-,s . of this cotity, came to grief in tbe 1'ii.ted States Court at Pittsburgh last week. The bill against Capt, Sanner was ignoied by tbe Grand Jury, and the bills against tbe other two gentlemen were quashed by the Court before a jury wss called. Tbe de fendants were charged with refusing to al low the ballot boxes of wbich they were the cus'odians to be raped by Mr. Greevy's commissioner in the Greevy-Scnll Con gressional contest. The defendants were represented by F. J. Kooser and John R. Scutt, Esqs., of Somerset, and Ed B. Scull, E?q , of Pitt-burgh. Mr. Greevy, A. V. Dively, Esq. of Altoona, and W. J. Brennan, Erq , of Pittsburgh, appeared for the prose cution. By tbe time the prosecutor is en tirely through with these gentlemen, whom he cs ;std to be arrested, he may conclude that there is not as mnch fun to be derived from this sort of business as bs anticipated Then he instituted these groqadieaa proee. cations. Tbe commencement exercises of the bor ough public schools will be held in the ( pera House on Tuesday evening, tbe 26th inst. Tbe exercises will consist of orations and essays by the graduating class. Ex pnncipal of the borough schools, J. J. Mil ler. E--q., of Pittsburgh, will deliver an ad dress. Music wil be famished by an or chestra from Pittsburgh. The graduating class comprises the following young ladies and gentlemen : Misses Hallie Ogle, Lizzie Sampseil, Lulu Walker, Mary Tayman, and Masters John Miller and Orio Knepper. The final examinations were conducted last Fri day by County Superintendent Berkey and J. C. Speicber, and were much more rigid than in former years, tbe class having been instructed in studies of a higher and more advanced grade. All of the graduates passed the examination with flying colors. Miss Ogle, wbo hss stood st the bead of her class throughout the term, received the highest marks sod was declared the valedictorian. In speaking of this young lady Principal Kendall says, "she hss the brightest, clearest and most analytical mind I have ever come in contact with in my experience as a com mon school teacher." .

In the past sixty years there have been three entire failures of the fruit crop in western Pennsylvania. On May 12, 1S.!4, snow fell sufficient to cover tbe ground, fol lowed by a freeze, bard enough to kill both leaves and fruit on the trees. Tha great frost of June , 140, is ever memorable. Tbe mercury went down to 20, and the ground was frozen bard. Of course everything but the grass was killed. The unprecedentedly mild winter of 1390 advanced all trees and shrubbery through out the country, so that the freeze of March IS, 1390, destroyed all the fruit, and that season has gone down to history as the "scarce year.''

The Pensioning of School Teachers. From Harper's Weekly. That teachers are now generally well pud especially the women, who are the larger part cannot be truthfully said. They must maintain a certain standard of living, and to do this and save enough for decent support when they retire is impossible Tbe residt is that teaching is very generally regarded as a temporary make shift, not as a profes sion. In the public school, teaching is an employment rather than a profession. A clever lawyer or physician constantly en larges his practice and his emoluments. How can a clever public school teaener d that? Only by leaving the public school. The movement for pensions of teachers will do much if it leads to mora liberal compensation.
