BROTHERS ELECTED GOVER-
NORS.
In “Giard’s” column in a recent is-
sue of the Philadelphia Inquirer ap-
peared the following, which will be
read with interest by many Centre
countains:
One of the prize stories related by
that master storyteller, the late W. U.
Hensel, of Lancaster, once Attorney
General of Pennsylvania, revolved
about an extraordinary historical in-
cident.
A traveler riding on horseback,
from Philadelphia westward through
the State, stopped for a night’s rest at
a farm house. It was the day after
election.
After the traveler had eaten a mod-
est supper, the old farmer asked him
if he had heard how the elections had
resulted.
“No,” said the stranger, “the re-
turns had not all come in before I left
the city.”
“I just wondered,” replied the host,
“how the voting went. You see my
son Bill was running for Governor
here in Pennsylvania and my son John
was running for Governor out in Cal-
ifornia.”
The farmer was Mr. Bigler and the
fact was that both Bill and John had
been elected Governor of their respect-
ive States. : :
I recall no similar incident in
American history where two brothers
in the same year became Governor of
a State. 3 .
John Bigler and William Bigler
were a pair of remarkable men. The
former was born in Cumberland coun-
ty ten years before his younger broth-
er.
They were printers in the office of
the Centre Democrat at Bellefonte.
John studied law and was a California
“Forty-niner.”
William went over to Clearfield
county and started the Clearfield Dem-
ocrat—a staunch supporter of Andrew
Jackson. When but twenty-seven
years of age he became a State Sen-
tor.
ir 54 the autumn of 1851 John was
nominated by the Democrats for Gov-
ernor of California and William was
nominated by the Democrats for Gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania.
As I said before, both were elected
and John was re-elected for a second
term but William was beaten on his
second trial. However, he afterwards
went to the United States Senate.

especially in the morning, making it
hard for me to keep at my work.

Beginning of Our Canning Industry.
To Ezra Daggett belongs the hon-
or of introducing canning as an indus-
try in the United States (1815-1819).
He had learned the art in the “old
country,” and practiced it in New
York city, where he packed salmon,
lobsters and oysters.
As early at 1821, William Under-
wood, of Boston, put up preserves in
glass, but it was not until 1838 that he
began to substitute tin.
Comically crude were the early
cans. All were hand-made, and sixty
a day was considered a large output.
For the piece of tin required for each
can was first drawn with careful com-
pass then cut out by shears, while a
tremendous amount of solder was used
both for the seams and the cementing
of tops and bottoms.
Amusing features of the early in-
dustry were the experiments in can-
ning corn. Isaac Winslow, of Maine,
was a pioneer in that special line.
It was first put up in a cumbersome
way on the cob. This proving imprac-
ticable and wasteful, the kernels were
cut off by the use of a knife curved to
the cob. A machine worked by hand
followed. Finally, and not until 1886,
came the power-driven machine.

New Parcel Post Service.
The conversation over the garden
fence had taken anything but a friend-
ly turn.
“An’ if your boy ’Erbert ties any
more cans on our dog’s tail,” was Mrs.
Moggin’s stern ultimatum. “’¢’ll ’ear
about it, that’s all. Oh, an’ per’aps
you've done with the saucepan you
borrowed last Monday.’
“Frbert,” asked Mrs. Grubb shrilly,
“what ‘ave you been doin’ to Mrs.
Moggin’s dog?”
“Nothing, ma!” replied the small
boy, unblushingly.
“There!” said the mother, triumph-
antly. “An’ you returned the sauce-
pan yesterday, didn’t you, dearie?”
“Sent it by ’er dog!” replied ’Erbert,
quite calmly.
