Pine Grove Mentions. Mrs. J. K. From of Boalsburg was the guest of Squire Gates the early part of the week avd enjoyed much her visit among her school girl triends. Mr. Lavi Krebs one of Ferguson township's democratic wheel horses has been laid up for repairs for several weeks but is improving slowly we are glad to say. Little Harry Rossman, soa of McClellan Rossman is laid up with a broken arm, caused by his little sister throwing over the chair on which he was seated. The break was adjust- ed by Dr. G. H. Woods. La grippe has renewed its work in this see- tion. W. A. Tanyer and family have been sick and under medical treatment for the past week with it, and Doctor Woods is busily en- gazed in dealing out quinine to many other cases. Capt. J. M. Kepler is off to his Foregt Coun- ty home where he intends spending the holi- day season with his daughter Nellie before starting for the Hot Springs in Ark., where he intends to remain during the winter season for the benefit of his health. Mr. John Musser who for several years has been engaged as a traveling salesman on'the Pacific slope and among the Rockies look time, the beginning’of the week, to say how-y- do to his old friends here. He is looking as though the West agreeded with his big hand- some self. Mrs. Mary Remy is prostrated with-a brok en arm and a broken hip, the result of a fall from a step laader while engaging in replac- ing goods on the shelf in D. H. Weaver's store- She did not fall more than two feet and that such a fall would prove so disastrous seems unimaginable. She was carefully removed to her home the following day where she is get- ting along as well as could be expected. The Hale and Robinson farms in this town- ship that!heretofore have been farmed jointly were last week surveyed for the purpose of separation. The survey takes from the old Kreps homestead about 16 acres of cleared land and one half of the wood land annexed to the White Hall or Stone House farm thus dividing the two tracts equally. We under- stand the Hale ;executor ‘Mr. Gerbrick gave Mrs. Robinson ‘her choice, and she selected the David Krebs homestead of which she will he-eafter act a§ land lady her self. Our I. 0. O.

HarrIisBURG, Pa., Dec. 18.—Secre- tary Edge, of the state board of agri- culture, has secured from the census bureau at Washington, a statement showing the value of farms in the var- ious counties of Pennsylvania, includ- ing fences and buildings, according to the census of 1890. This will be in- corporated in his forthcoming annual report. The census of 1890 shows a decrease in the farm valuation of Pennsylvania of $53,449,177 under that of 1880, when the total valuation was $975,689,410. Only twenty-two counties shows gains over the census of 1880, and nearly all of them are in the western part of the state, where oil, gas and coal were dis covered. The farm valuation in the state, ac- cording to the census of 1850 was $407,876,096. i The census of 1860 gives the valna- tion at $66,050,707 ; 1870, $1,043,481, 582; 1880, $975,689,410; 1890, 922, 240,233. The high water mark in the tarm valuation of Pennsylvania was reached between the census of 1860 and that of 1870, during the war period when wheat sold at $3 a bushel, and other farm products corresponded in price.. The difference between the farm valuatian given by the census of 1870 and the last census is $121,241,349, or a loes of about 11.75 per cent, The twenty-two counties which show an increase in their farm valuation in the census of 1890 over the previous census are : Allegheny, where there has been an increase of $6,667,374 ; Beaver $1,111,301 ; Cambria, $639,172; Cam- eron, $67,190 ; Carbon, ~ $221,645; Clearfield, $1,158,597 ; Crawford, $1, 660,875: Forest, $30,040; Greene, $1,903,622 ; Indiana, $1,514,818; Jef- ferson, $89,809; Lackawanna, $83, 602 ; Lycoming, $533,275; McKean, a ——— | $134,611; Montgomery, $2.920.279; | Philadelphia, $1,989,310 ; Pike, $330, 207 ; Potter, $989,705 ; Sullivan, $126, 1044; Venango, $178,142; Wayne, $30,963 ; Westmoreland, $2,930,687. The estimate of 1890 gives the aggre- gate value of farm products in the state at $121,328,348 or $8,432,128 less than the estimate made ten years previous. Allegheny shows a decrease of $714,713; Armstrong, $286,172; Butler, $208,- 068 ; Fayette, $102,171; Lawrence, $72,531 ; Adams, $45,090 ; Blair, $11, 008 ; Columbia, $375,049; Cumber- land $429,232; Franklin, $39,894 ; Juniata, $109,925. “$500,000,000 for Roads, —. An Ohio Financier's Scheme and What Sherman Thinks of it. MassiLron, Dec. 18.—J. S. Coxey, of this place, is the author of what he calls “the Coxey plan,” for relieving the hard times by the issuance of $500- 000,000 in treasury notes, the money to be expended in the construction of roads under the direction of the Secretary of the War. The American Federation of Labor at Chicago has indorsed this plan, and Mr. Coxey is using his private means to promote its success. ln a letter to an evening paper, Senator Sherman discusses Mr. Coxey’s scheme as fol- lows: The pititable state of the laboring man of to-day is caused by the threatened blow at American industries by a free trade tariff. This undounbted- ly caused the fearful distress prevailing of this country. The remedy proposed, of issuing $500,000,000 of United States notes not redeemable in coin, would be a fearful failure. The issue of such a mass of pa- per money would restore the condition of affairs that existed in 1837 and 1873 when either irredeemable money or money worth less than par, circulated. The remedy is totally delusive, and in- stead of retrieving would add to the troubles that surround us. The true remedy is to insure to the people good money of unquestioned and unchange- able value, based upon gold and silver coin, and to maintain American indus- tries by wise taxation on foreign pro- ductiouns that compete with our own. The building of roads by the Govern- ment throughout the United States is impossible and unconstitutional. Good roads are necessary and should be built by the States and counties of United States as rapidly as their means #ill permit, but to attempt these im- provements by the issue of irredeemable paper money would be far worse than to suffer a time the inconvience of bad roads. Annexations in View. Morgan, of Alabama, Introduces a Startling Bill in the House. W asHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Mr. Morgan, Democrat, of Alabama, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, in- troduced to-day a bill as to provisional governments. It provides that when- ever the United States shall acquire do- minion over any foreign country (r place, by treaty of annexation or other- wise, the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Sen- ate, may appoint a Governor for the same and a Legislative Counell, to con- sist of any number of persons, not less than five or more than twenty-five, whose acts will be subject to revision or appeal by Congress, and, unless a treaty of annexation or cession shall otherwise provide, sad Governor and council shall | constitute and conduct a Provisional Government for such country or place untl Congress shall otherwise provide by law. The bill was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Russia and the Vatican. Relations Between the Pope and the Car Said to be Strained VieNNa, December 18.—The state ment 18 made on the best authority that the relations between the Vatican and Ruesia are less cordial than they were some time ago. The Pope, in his recent autograph letter to the Czar, complained of various acts against the liberty of Polish Catholics. The Russian Charge d’Affaires had an audience on December 7, and is re- vorted to have conveyed the Czar's reply to his Holiness. The terms of this reply have not transpired ; but should the Czar decline to accede to the Pope's request it is confliently stated that the Pope may make the question the subject of a public pro- nouncement.
