much aggrieved because they have not direct

that a place the size of the College ought
to have a telegraph office, but the citizens
there should realize thas, in the first place
they are not on any direct line ; and again,
if the company could see it a good hasivess
proposition they would not hesitate in
installing an office. The only possible
reason that there is no office there now
must be because the telegraph company is
not satistied that it would pay expenses,

——Tuesday was without doubt the
hottest day experienced this summer, or
for a namber of years. At two o'clock in
the afternoon the thermometer registered
ninety-nine degrees in the shade, and the

passed over Pennsvalley and thus relieved
the density of the heat to a certain extent.

BorouGH CouNnciL.—The regular meet
ing of borough council on Monday even-

of special importance being transacted.
The Water committee reported that the
meters at the court house had been changed
80 as to out off the fountains for which
water is furnished free. The meter bills
for the quarter ending July first amount to
$028.19.
The Village Improvement committee re-
quested that a light be placed at the oross-
ing over the railroad just beyond the Clit-
ford 8. Thomas residence on the road to
Coleville. Since the high fence has been
erected around the new athletic grounds it
is so dark there as to render it dangerous.
Quite a number of pavements and walks
in the town were reported in a bad condi.
tion and the olerk of council was instruot-
ed to give the property owners the usual
notioe to repair same.
