Grand-mother Breon, widow of David Breon, deceased, of Middle creek township, visited Jacob Gil bert, Ksq., and family several days this week. Prof. H. N.

Kverett girls are very considerate and practical as well as free from mock-modesty. One evening re cently while a young man and his best gill were snugly seated iu a sleigh drawn by a spirited horse, tho harness broke, and being pretty far from homo and nothing to fix it, the young lady produced one of her garters and handed it to her escort. who immediately repaired tho brok en harness and they happily proceed ed onward. There is considerable excitement among Worlds Fair people in Wash ington, over a development. By a re markable and uncxplainahlo mistake in writing the otlioial draft of the World s Fair appropriation the wom en's board is given absolute control of the ?f."0,iM for the World's Fair pre miums and rewards, and also it would seem the entire power to appoint all the Jurors, male aud female, and the power to grant all rewards and pre- iuIuuiv hi the v.'ortrf 9 fair is by ti - draft given to women.

We hope the Senate will have better sen -.e than the House has shown uud defeat it. It is the health-giving effects of tho fall out ing more than the meat they bring back that makes our hunters oppos ed to the bill, aud just such goggle- eyed, blue-bellied, cheeso-and-apple- butter sentimentalists who are too la.y to pursue tho deer ami don't know what the people want are the ones that would vote for such a bill. We are beginning to think that our legislature should bo sent to the World's Fair and exhibited as a freak, and a general bill passed to abolish the farce for twenty years 1 Tho Pennsylvania Company is about to discard tin' old method of stamping tickets withinii and will punch tho year and day clear thro' the ticket by means of powerful stencils. This is done to keep scalp ers and others from altering t ho date and thus extending tho limit of mile itgo books and excursion tickets. Tho new method was put in prac tice last week. Tho orders state that all tickets nro to bo stamped as proscribed. When one thinks of tho thousands of special excursion tickets sold on July I and other oc casions, thu work devolving upon tho agent may bo imagined.

Postmaster General Bissell is ac credited with the announcement that no local business men need ap ply for post offices under his admin istration. He objects to commis sioning local business men as post masters, for thn reason that the ac tu.d duties are pel formed by irre sponsible and often incompetent clerk and substitutes. Postmas ters iiniler Mr. Bissell must promise to devote their entire time to the work and personally keep strict of lice hours. Since Mr. Bissell objects to the appointment of careful, trained, methodical business men as post masters we are anxious to know whether his ruling is not putting a premium on th loafer of the com- nuinity. John Wauamaker, fine of the busiest, biggest business men of tho times, made one of the best postmaster general the country ever had ; but according to Mr. Bissell's ruling such appointments are a mistake In the past four years the post office department and service was greatly improved and evry fair, honest man must admit that. Mr. Wanamaker's private bus iness nor the interests of the coun try suffered. We think here is a good object losson for the new ad ministration to study. If Mr. Bis sell will succeed in his new depart ment as well as the busy, business man an 1 f nu m Philadelphia mer chant did, an 1 we hope he will still even do betUr, the entire country will CO"" ' hiia. :l 1 - ..;ob Kloi i caught a large tisli otter i'i a set-net under the iron bridge a i-)-s Mid Uecreek at.

"Whether you handle a pick or pen. a wheelbarrow or a set. of books, dig ditches or edit a paper, ring an auction bell or write funny things, you must work," says a self made man. "If you look around you, you will see t he men who are the most able to live the rest of their days always work the hardest. Dont be afraid of killing yourself with work. It is beyond your power to do that. Work gives an appetite for meals : it lends solidly to your slum bers ; it gives thu appreciation of a holiday.
