Among the laws of 1887 is ono to prevent
and punish the making and dissemination
of obscene literature aud other Immoral
and Indecent matter, which we print In full
elsowhere. Tho attention of thoso who
are in tho habit of defacing walls by. writ-
ing obscene lines and pictures thereon, Is
called to the third section of tho act,
whero they win nnd that a penalty ot a
fine not exceeding five hundred dollars,
and Imprisonment not exceeding ono ycar
is imposed on those who Indulge in that
sort of amusement Fences, walls, floor,
celling, closet, room, passage, ball, or any
part of any hotel, court house, school,
depot, or other public places or buildings
are included In tho law, and any ono who
makes or causes to bo made therein or
thereon, any obsccno drawing or picture,
or print, liable to bo seen by others passing
or coming near the same arc liable to suffer
the penalty of tho law. It Is not likely
that this law will bo strictly observed until
an example has been mado of ono or two
offenders.
The county commissioners arc making
numerous needed repairs at tho court
bouse. Tbo ouiccs of tbo Prothonotary,

Robert Roan. Tho jury room up stairs
has been painted by D. R. ColTmm. Tho
work to bo dono on tbo court room will bo
the most cxtenslvo and expensive. Tho
Judge's seat will be lowered and tho entlro
room handsomely finished in wood, nnd a
new desk built for tho court officers In
front of the bench. Tho ceiling will bo
taken off, and new and heavier joist, laid.
Tho ceiling and walls will bo rcplastcrcd.
and decorated with paint. Ell Jones was
tho lowest bidder for tho woodwork, his
figure being $1079. W. F. Bodlno's bid
for the painting was $700, and J. M. How
er's for the plastering $115. If theso bid
ders comply with tho conditions Imposed
by the commissioners the contracts will bo
awarded them. As tbo work cannot bo
complotcd by September couit It Is likely
that court will be held In tbo Opera House,
A new method of swindling is being In
troduced, which Is said to bo working very
successfully, Tho victim is usually a coun
tryman, who receives a circular letter in-
forming him that a distant relative In Phil
adelphia has just died, and that tho de
ceased had left him $3,000. Ho Is cau.
tioned to say very llttlo upon tho subject,
and is to go to tbo city as soon as possible,
with about $350 to pay tho logal expenses.
If he docs not smell tho rat ho follows tho
Instructions and meets tho "agent" at a
hotel. Uo Is conducted to nn office, and
$3,000 in crisp new bills aro counted out
to him and dono up In a package Ho
pays the "legal expenses" and ho is then
glvon a package, tho exact counterpart of
that containing the bills, which bo is ad
vised to send homo by express. When ho
arrives at homo and secures tho package
ho hurries to his room and teals off tho
paper, only to fir-d a brick, somo waste pa
per and sawdust. Several complaints have
been mado to the police authorities by per.
sons who have beep swindled by their
method, but tuus far no arrests havo been
mado.

Saturday afternoon, nnd the gamo was
called at tho end ot tho ninth inning with
the scoro standing 0 to 0. Another Inning
might bavo been played, but tho Bngar
Notch nlno had not tlmo to play it, as they
had to makn tho train on tho N & W.U, road
which goes up at 0.20 p. tn. A very fair
gamo was played, tho Bugar Notch club
being very gooil players, nnd having a
good battery, with an exceptionally swllt
pitcher. Shaffer labored under great dis
advantage, having Injured his hands a' few
days before. Ho had soveral passed balls,
n thing hitherto almost unknown to blm,
Heist pitched a good gamo. Tho boys wcro
n little tardy In getting on to tho Sugar Notch
n n o i
pitcher but when they did they pounded
him pretty hard. A splendid running catch
was mado by tho Sugar Notch left fielder
of a long foul Uy knocked by Ent. In the
seventh Inning Shaffer Injured his hand
again aud Uagcnbuth caught tho remain
der of the game, Shaffer taking his post.

plays wcro made, and somo good batting
was done by both nines. Bchuylcs M'Kllllp

As tho time approaches for thopenlng
of tho public schools, tbo dead-lock In the
school board over tho appointment of a
principal Is getting to bo a serious matter.
As tbo caso stands thrco members of tho
board aro determined to retain Mr. Beckley
at a salary of a thousand dollars a year,
because they think his services aro worth
it, and the other thrco aro determined to
pay blm no more than eight hundred dol
lars, becauso they claim that other equally
as competent teachers aro willing to ccrvo
for that salary. Wfllchcvcr sido Is right,
the fact remains that tho public schools
havo no principal and the chief reason Ifor
It Is that tbo school board consists of six
members. If It wcro an odd number, the
dead-lock could not havo occurred. A
chango In tbo law should bo mado at the
next session of tho legislature, fixing the
number at five or gtsven.
In tho School Laws and Decisions of
1835, page 30, appears tho following:
'Neglect to provide a sufficient number of
schools, it is bcliovcd, is punishable by re-
moval from ofDco of tho board so neglect
ing Its duty, and tho appointment of others
in their stead." Whether the falluro to ap.
point a principal would como under this
rule or not, would bo a question for the
court to decide, should tho matter get so
far as that Whether the court has any
jurisdiction in such a caso is also uncer
tain. But at all events let something bo
dono so that the schools may open at the
usual time and tho taxpayers have what
they pay for and what they havo a right
to demand, competent and efficient teach
ers for their children,

Tbo other day, whilo tho blasting of
stumps was going on, on tho lino of tho B.

hand, who was plowing near by, looked up
and pleadingly observed, "Just to listen
how It thunders 1 Can I mako another

The general opinion prevails that a heav.
ler crop of corn was never raised In this
community. Buckwheat promises equally
as well. But "it beats tho bugs" whero
tho potato tops havo gone to.
Tho picnic at Hamlin was a grand suc
cess last Saturday afternoon. Revs. Boono
and Mather were present and mado some
very appropriate remarks to tho children
of tho Sunday school, after which all par.
took of a bountiful repast and all the ico
cream they wanted. All had a Jolly good
time.
Last Sunday morning infant and adult
baptism was administered to a number of
persons at Hamlin and eight probationers
admitted to full membership, after which
tho sacrament ot the Lord's supper was
administered.
Last week ono day whilo Judge Knck'
baum attempted to dismount from a horse,
his foot caught in tho harness which caused
him to fall, seriously laming his arm.
Happily, no bones wero broken.
Oats, so far as heard from, yields about
10 bushels per 100 sheaves.
The taxpayers of Columbia county may
reasonably expect a reduction of tho tax
rate, from a half mill to a mill on tho dot
lar valuation under tho administration of
tho incoming new Board of Commissioners.
Should this not bo done tho reform move
ment wold foot up no retrenchment In tho
disbursement of tho public funds. It Is
quito possible that tho now Board may bo
placed In a critical position. It might bo
well for tbcm all to ponder tbo question.
Our taxes aro high and wo ask for a reduc
tion.

Klaso has mado several trips for frogs and

Everything about tho premises Is being
