Indian Summer lasts l ng this year and iniikos our "December as pleas ant as May." Robert Bindette, on conversation, sayi sarcastically : Do not contin ually interject "you know" and "you see" into your conversation. Say, rather, "Savvy, John t'1 "ketch on to. that, cullf or "D'ye tumble. Shortly V Then the people will know that you have been to college away from borne. Never listen to a remark the lirst time it is made. This will give you an opportunity of saying "Beg pawd'n" at intervals. Then everybody will know that you hava been abroad in your mind. A young lady may mark it down as a fact that if she flirts and asso ciates with "pick ups," she will soon have no others for associates. No matter how unjust it may be, there will always bo tho suspicion that those who are not above making ac quaintances in this way are not as pure in heart and mind as they ought to be. It would be unjust to say tbat no purciuindod girls flirt. They do, and many of them loose their purity by so doing. Others, although not so unfortunate, subject them selves to suspicions which every wo man should be above. As tho gunning season is now open in earnest, sportsmen will do well to thoroughly post themselves in re gard to the law of trespass in order to avoid the trouble with the farm ing community upon whose grounds they may cuter in quest of game There are several act s covering differ ent violations of the law on trespass, Wilfully carrying off or destroying any property a line not exceeding $30 and imprisonment not exceeding (0 days.

Never did the Middleburgh band receive higher compliments for ser vices rendered than it did during tho recent Snyder County Teachers' Institute. It used to be considered a "bore'' to have band music before a poi miscus audience in a public hall, but the time has come when even our own people assist in ap plauding tho boys to their feet. The novelty and style of their music takes like a whirlwind of late. They have thus far hewn their pathway through the barriers of opposition by unflinching resolution, and u brighter star is dawning, when their services will lie appreciated, and, we hope, their labors rewarded. nut All munkUiil Is imi'O wmk, And Itttlr to be trusted.

MOVER, Freeburg Pa The Snyder Coumy Teachers' In stitute last week was a success throughout, und ended with one of tho grandest treats the people of Middleburgh ever hud. We refer to the address of Hon. 11. my Hauck, ou tho "Old and tho New."' It was Talleyrand who said, "men speak to conceal their ideas," which is too often the case, but in Mr. Hauck we find an exception. He lias evident ly had the advantages of poverty, at least of a farmer boy's experience, and his comparisons were so natural, bis 1'iiir" r v convulsing and his el oquence so x'apLivating that the peo ple simply fell in love with him girls ami all. His early experience in school und ou the farm was so full of Nature's touches that he made us all km, una w hen ho w as iloiiu w e felt as though it was just what we all could have said and were surpris I'd that w e had never done so.

On Wednesday, November 7th, the duy after the recent election, and when it became known that Harrison and Morton were beyond dispute elected President and Vice President, some of the loyal Mill heini Democrats drew up a petition and had it signed by of their po litical brethren, pledging and vow ing themselves not to patroui.o Mr. springer, tho Milllu im barber, be cause ho voted tin; Kcpublicau t icket. If we mistake not, Mr. Springer was a soldier in the Into war and stood up and stopped Democratic bullets, whilo some of these self-samo DO "loyal citizens," remained at home and bemoaned the defeat of Undo Itohcrt E. Leo ut Gettysburg.
