Reed of Sunbury into service and they in company with Eddie Rohrbach of the same place, on Friday, killed 1 wood-cock, 1 squirrel, 2 rabbits, 3 pheasants and 25 quail. Not so bad for scrubs ! The iron bridge across Middle- creek 1 ) miles west of Middleburgh, which wob partly constructed when tho recent flood carried away the scaffolding, had to be returned to the manufacturers in Ohio for repairing before it could be again erected. "I use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral freely in my practice, and recom mend it in cases of Whooping Cough among children, having found it more certain to cure that trouble some disease that any other medi cine I know of." So says Dr. Bart lott, of Concord, Mass. The Union, U. B., and Evaugelical Sunday Schools in this place are each preparing for holding Christ mas festivals, and our people are so trained that when they Bee two girls with a lead-pencil and paper, or a boy with a minature barrel, they dodge into the nearest store and hide behind the counter. The Middleburgh party 'returned last Friday from a two week's hunt iu : the Suveu Mountains and had a three-prung buck, shot by M. Z. Steiuingcr. It was the largest deer brought to this town for many years. A large man could stand within the circle of his horns. It dressed 127 pounds. Week-before-last Frank S. Mart' of Lewisburgh advertised for two girls to do house-work in his family, and before tho ink was right dry on the advertisement Misses AUa Schambuch and Avoia Attig of Pux touvillo responded and were, accept ed. That's what advertising iu the Post does. John S. Hassinger, Millard Has singer and Uncle Robert Middles- warlh returned on Saturday from a two-week's hunt ut the Tunnels, on the L. & T. road, with the Swengcl vide party. They killed two deer One, a four-prong buck was shot by Robert Middleswarth and tho other was a yearling buck and was shot by Daniel Kuouso of near Swongelville. The first national bank of Middle burgh will open for business, No vember 27. Then the editor of tho Post of that place will have a place to store his thousands. Northum berland Jre.

Can't You Decide. C. W. Ders tine, the photograph of Lewistowu, Pa., wishes me to say that if you desire to give a Christmas present that will be appreciated, a photo graph will be just the thing, and the fact that he preserves all negatives, you could order from a negative tak en in the past at less cost than by sitting for a new negative i by writ ing to him you can learn the prices, or, if a new negative is preferred, go early to his golleiy, if the work is wanted for the Holidays. On last Wednesday morning W. W. Trout, editor of the paper, ten dered his resignation as Deputy Revenue Collector of the Eleventh division in the ninth district, U. S. Int. Rev. There were sixteen appli cations for the appointment of the place, and A. C. Strode of Strode's Mills, this county, earned off the plum. We wish our successor our best wishes, and trust that he may find his duties easy and pleasant. We congratulate Mr. S. on his ap pointment. Ltwiatoion Free J'reis. Greit bargains in Dress goods at P.

Soldiehs Reunion. The survivors of the 131st Regiment, P. V.",' will. hold their anuual reunion at Selins grovo on December 13th.

The First National Bank of this place opened for business on lust Monday, Dec. 2, placing themselves upon record as doiug a rushing day's work away beyond thcircxpcc tatious. The Cashier and the Pres ident were both busy taking in and waiting upon customers. Over thirty depositors left their funds and signatures. With this auspicious outlook we predict that tho people of this place and vicinity appreciate a good thing, and tho wonder is, among them all, that a Bank was not started sooner. A Bank at this place fills a long-felt want, and now administrators and executors can close out their entire business at the county-seat. The Bank officers are pleasant and affable and will spare no pains to mako everybody feel ut homo socially, and safe financially. This is the Snyder County Teach ers' week, and quite a large number of the instructors of the rising gen eration are in attendance at the In stitute which is being held in the town. Among this large number are the teachers in this Borough, and as a natural consequence the schools are closed and tho pupils are enjoying themselves iu various ways, glad enough that they have a week's recreation to do pretty much as they please. But the teachers are fructifying their "knowledge box" with valuable information, so that when they return to their scholastic duties they will be enabled to impart at least a portion of their "pickings up" to the boys and girls attending school. What a great blessing it is to be a school teacher I How superior they are to the com mon people I "Tbelrmlnrtaarerrmitflit with UsMUutf lljrht, 80 pure, so bonuuhii and bright P Surely, they are fortunate individ uals to be able to take a week's pleasure from their irksome duties at school 1 It is reported that tho ladies from Selinsgrove have turned their room fit Bolender's into a portrait gal lery. Who noticed that "great break" that Billhurt mode in tho Institute T We would adviso Supt. Herman to watch some of tho promising young teachers of tho upper end play euchre in No. 10. Thursby volunteers any informa tion concerning Billhart's "great break." Miss Keller is looking just as bright and sweet as ever, and is still hunting a man. A white rap notice has been sent to the occupants of No. 10. For further particulars inquire of Won der. We wonder why Wonder don't wonder around in search of some wondering girl. Surely hois old enough. It has been decided to tar and feather the occupants of No. 10, if they still persist in singing Won der's favorite. Sheriff Bolender has two profes sional detectives dressed in citizens clothes to preserve peace and order iu his house during Institute. Wo should liko to have Thursby's trantf jHtniJr repeated at an early date. Oh. That picture. Ask the Se linsgrove girls if he is handsome. Smith, of Selinsgrove has been up- loiiiicu .(injur uenerai, 01 me lorces at Bolender's. And still the grand work of educu k - . 11011 goes on, ami wo nope it may not bo long till tho flag of education may proudly wave from every dome and housetop in this our beloved country.

Since leaving the school-room some of our ladies are becoming melancholic. They divert their minds by playing catrh with the Sheriffs thickens. Thursby says, when lie is 10 miles from home ho is not married. We noticed on Tuesday and Wed nesday that quite a number of our young teachers both male and fe male were looking quite sleepy. They opened their organs of speech quite frequently and so wide that we thought they looked not unlike gaping sepulchres. Among those we noticed most were Smith, Hen dricks, Walter, Herbster, Living ston and Glover. They must all have been badly stayed with. Who was that fellow who wanted to Bee the ladies on Tuesday night at 2 a, m.? The next time this thing occurs, we are going to ride tho of fending party on a rail. Poor fel low; hopes blasted and expecta tions gone forever. Prof. Billhurt certainly deserves commendations for the successful manner in which he is conducting tho music of tho Institute.

The plea of tho defense was emotional insanity, but it would not go down with tho jury who had tho followingconfession before them, made by prisoner immediately after the arrest : "I left Houtzdulo on Saturday night (Sept. 21, '8'.)) about 11 o'clock p. m., walked down the railroad un til I came to R. B. Wigton's brick yard where I left tho railroad and took the board walk to Phillipsburg. Went up Maple St., to second, then down Second to Rose Prines and went into tho alley and then into the back of tho house. I broke in the window of tho cellar and laid on the bank in the cellar all night. I could not sleep t heard them get up, (meaning Mrs. Wighaman and my wife); waited a while and then went up steps that lead from tho cellar to tho kitchen, but before going up took off my shoes so that they could not hear me. When I got iu tho kitchen my wife was washing the dishes. I walked up to her and put my arm around her and she said "you s of a b ! get out." I drew my revolver and she saw it and said "Oh! Cele don't." I fired at her head when she screamed s I fired another and she fell. I did not see whether she was dead or not. I then went up stairs and saw tho old woman at the head of the stairs, I fired at her she turned in tho room, I followed her in, she wus laying on the floor and begged of mo not to shoot her. I turned around and shot her in the head again and then went down the stairs and out of tlie back door to Allports' livery stable. There I tried to kill my .elf. I tired two shots, the first did not knock me down, but the second did. Thouglit I hud one inure shot, but had not, or I would have died with t ll.Ill. Counterfeiters at Work.

Mit.llAitiK.it: Looking over Post of lust week I observed iu the Puxtonville Items that the Y. P. Mite Society had received such a beautiful name, viz. "Angel." We never heard that name applied to the Mite Society or to any other society composed of such different matter. But we have heard that name applied to some individual, perhaps belonging to the Mits. Tin word Angel, both in Greek and Hiebrew language signifies "a mes senger." Tho original word is often applied to men : 2 Sam. 2 chap. !ith v. Luke U chap. &2nd v., but when the term is used, as it generally is, to dessignato spiritual beings, it de notes the office they sustaiu as God's messengers, of the agents through whom ho makes known His will and executes the purpose of his Govern ment. But there are other Angels who would like to have all the An gelic Honor ; liko to sit in the front seut in the temple, or ut the Altar giving a smilo to tho audience ; like to have long conversations with the parson ; love a warm shaking of hands 1 have u word iu all church affiairs, such as controling meetings and Sunday Schools ; walking through tho audience with a sweet smile ; and have the sunie desire us Absalom had when he stood beside the way a of the gate stealing the hearts of the Israelites with a sweet embrace and a kiss. And we fear that soon this lovely angel will take up arms and fight against her mother kingdom, riding on a mule like Ab Bolom when he fought against his father. But we hope her hair won't catch at tho limb of an oak, and she bo left hanging between heaven and earth tho deserved fall of all who fall from grace. Daniel.
