It is not an infrequent occurrence for an editor, who bus iu the neigh borhood of two thousand accouuts with dill'ereut persons in L-an straight, to have his attention called to errors iu accouuts. This is right and proper aud we aro alwavs thanL-. ful for it j but it is almost always tho ciiso that only thosu who would be the losers cull our attention to tho error, while those who aro the gainers are as silent as clams. An exception to this rulo occurred tho other day. Pharea ; Fettorolf.. of near Troxelvillo, came to pay his paper. Ho declared- wo had given him two years moro credit on the Post than ho was entitled to and in. slated so strongly that wo yielded the poiut and ho paid three dollars more than our accouut called for. It is a very rare occurreuco, but when it does occur we always take a good, long look nt the man's face, for wo roulize that in his physiog uoiuy we behold au houoat tuau. An exchange says : A Dumber of newspapers are publishing adver tisements which are nothing less than invitations to their readers to bite at a first-class swindle. The scheme consists of an offer of $10 or $20 in gold to the person sending tho first correct answer to some simple question, which is usually taken from the biblo or history. Each person sending an auswer is required to enclose ten or twenty cents iu silver. One of the condi tions of the scheme is that if more than one correct answer is received the $10 or $20 will be divided. The result is that hundreds of people are victimized and so many send the correct answer that tho money can not be divided and they receive a cheap publication of somo kind for their ton or twenty cents. To ad vertise such a Hchemo is to aid in tho swindle, just as a "capper" lures victims into the shell gamo of throe card monte. No Marriage License Law. No license towed Is now necessary in this Btate, nor will it bo till Octo ber 1st, 1H'.)5. Many who havo paid their 50 cent fee, will bo surprised to learn that no marriage law is now in effect and has not been since May 1st of this year. Such is the fact, however, according to the laws of ISOIJ, as published officially, and no more young couples need sail to tho wilds of rsew Jersey to escape the Bometime irksome law. This is due to tho new marriage license law passed by the last leiris lature. The old law compelled the taking out of a license in the county which tho ceremony was to be Per formed. Tho amendment permits either party to tho proposed mar riage to take out a license in the county in which tho ceremony was to be performed. The old law is wiped out. Tho new one does not go in effect till two years hence Latch. Attorney Oeneral Hensel was seen iu relation to tho statement that the last legislature had made a mess of the marriage license laws by amend ing tho tirst section, but postponing its going into effect until In:!.";, thus leaving tho state without u marriago license law until that time. Ho said the old law is Btill in force, and that the change did not repeal but only amended the former act. To The Y. P. S. C. E. of Snyder Co.

UOth, isscl, aged 82 years, 10 months and Id days. She was born and lived in tho vicin ity of Boavertown, Pa., and was a daughter of the late Jacob and Merib Feese. Sho was married Oct. 14, 1800, to James R. Hassinger, who with four brothers and three sisters survive to mourn their loss. The deceased by reason of her ad mirable qualities, kind disposition and happy manners, acquirod and maintained a multitudo of warm friends, her society was a fertile soil of friendship, and germs once start ed never ceased to grow in the nour ishing sunshine of her genial and unselfish nature She was a dutiful daughter, loving sister, devoted wife and a faithful friend, and her early departure from this life' semis a pang of sorrow through tho hearts of all who knew her, blights the happiness of a devoted husband, and creates the first vacant chair in the circle of tho grief-stricken family, Tha causo of her death was lin gering consumption of about live years "duration, which she bore withouf complaint, displaying re markable patience during all her in tense suffering.

Revelations 21: t, this forenoon at 10 o'clock. Rest in peace. j He Who Gets There. These aro hard times, neverthe less the mau who "keeps everlast ingly at it brings success." Iu oth er words, the mau who is not seen on the street comers discussing grave public questions is the one who is making the best of the situa tion and is doiug somethimr to keen his wheels moving. If he has steady employment, does his work as well as he can, tries to make use of his income, he finds that ho has little time for grumbliug. If ho is de pendent upon his own efforts for the employment of his time, he is looking arouud for tho chance, know- ing full well iu times like theso that the man who keeps at it is most likely to come out at the head of the procession when the agitation is ut un end, aud those who havo takeu their time to do the talking liuallv turu their attention to business. This does not apply to that class of curbstone prophets ho aro never kuowuto toil, spin or look with favor upon uuythiug save an invitatiou to take a drink. The so wo always have with us. Sunshine and shadow alike find them busy ut their calling. Tho public welfare has little interest iu their going or coming. But there are thousands to-day who would better serve their own best interests, uud the good of the community as well, if they would uso whatever means they have, together with their best energies, and would bot tle up their wisdom on tho ques tions which aro supposed to bo dele gated to tho statesmen at Washing ton, and to thoso w ho make a busi ness, and money, by oducatiug tho public, aud go to work. A little money will go further now in buy ing, building und almost anything else than uny previous time. Mrs. Dr. Shiudul and crandson Willie spent Sunday with friends aud relatives iu Milllinburg. There was quite a bear slaughter ing at Pleasant Gap, on Saturday evening. For somo time bear tracks were noticed in a corn field near the edgo of the mountain at that place. It seems that the bruins would make regular trips to this field every night to mako a meal on corn. On Satur day night Mr. Win. Rosstnan went to tho field and watched fordeveloj) ments. He had a double barreled shot gun and four shells loaded with pea shot. He had not been at tho place very long until an old bear with two cubs made their appear ance in tho field. Mr. Rossmun got within range and at tho first shot killed one of the cubs. The noxt load he put into tho old bear but did not kill her and sho turned, in the excitement he dropped one shell and got the other in tho barrel and fired, killing tho second one. The remain ing cub ran away and took up a tree. Rosstnan hastened home nnd got more ammunition and soon killed the other cub. It was pretty quick work and quite successfully done. The large bear dressed about 250 pounds aud tho cubs 7i pounds each. All of them had tine fur which will be of somo value, Philip Beezer and Al. Garman bought the meat of two of them on Monday. l',:ntre J cmt. Too Affectionate. A young lady w ho resides whero in tho neighborhood of torn town has beeu puzzling friend and ih vnifinnu . any appar,ui cause, shv'ttn.- ailed and, becoming painfully ill, tho local doctor was consulted. In vain did he prescribe for her. His art and his drugs were lust upon the fair onw. Then came a consultation with another doctor, and it was de cided that pleurisy was causing the trouble. Th;ii caiue another anxious period of waiting, of watching, of medicine. Finally, a shrewd person could it have been a jealous sister ' discovered that tie sickness dated from the night of a certain visit paid to the sufferer by her sweetheart. Light dawned at last upon the puzled physician. The lover being unusually strong or exceptionally lovable tho exact point has not yet been decided hail squeezed his be trothed with such force that he had broken ouo of her ribs. Tho bone is now meuded, but he of tho stroug arm has been warned of the prem ises, and paterfamilias declines to pay any more bills for ribs brokeu in love-making. My sou, if you aro a hopeless uoodlehead and yet haunted by tho ambition to be great, goiuto politics, says tho Puuxsutawuey Spirit. No matter if you have no integrity. By becoming a subservient tool, a lick spittle aud toadeater for political leaders, and cringing and bowing to all, you may get into an office for which you aro unfit. Bo careful though never to express au opinion of your own, au I whou you get iuto au argument always permit your ad versary to convince you that you aro wrong. Bo trustublo, bo good na- tured. Sinilo like au idol all the time, and when a man utters the most trite and cliestiiutty common places imaginable, laugh at it as though you thought it tho best thing you ever hoard, lie sure to agree with everybody. No matter if they give expressions to views that you know would bo ruinous to tho coun try if put into practice, btillo your conscience, if you aro so uufortuuatu as to havo a convert to that very doctrine. To u man of real worth and ability, honors of courso come un sought. But having neither, you must go out iuto the highways of politics and hustle for your honors. Mrs. Dr. J. Y.

A Queer Pension Case A SNYI Kit COI NTV I APMEH WAS IlI.KI) 1011 $245 iu'sh money. Capt.Georgo Kuhn.of Juniata Co., was on trial in the U. S. Court for impersonating a Government officer and defrauding Sol. Graybill, a Sny der county pensioner, out of $25. All tho witnesses, the principals and the attorneys for tho defense are of tho Pennsylvania Dutch stock, and there was in.uch humor in tho trial. Capt. Kuhn was defened by S. S. Itoyer, of Sunbury and H. II. Grimm, of the Snyder county bar. District Attorney Hall looked after tho Government's side of tho case. Mr. Boyer is a bluff old fellow, with a slight Dutch dialect and a readiness to assuuin n fighting air on the slightest provocation. Judge Burlington overruled one of his fre quent objections during tho trial, and he iiroxn und said : "If your Honor blease, I do not vish to be bersistent. but this is an important case, and in important cass down Kast. where I come from, we follow the rules of evidence." "That is all right. Mr. Boyer," re plied Judge Butliugtou smilingly, "but we allow a little more latitude here, and your objection is over ruled.'' MulH'll I llllhli IK'III'KT.U. Se Hiif.lo Rumm.
