after a long and exciting chaso ho was
overtaken near Hellers' church, not far

been distributed at different points so
as to give a magnificent effect. A row of
mirrors with handsome walnut frames
extend acroes the wall opposlto tho

beautiful and Mr. Gilmnre Is to bo com

An exchange says: If tho county roads
are Impassable, It Is the duty of the super
visors to put them In sbapc. The law of
1830 Is explicit on this point. Supervisors
aro (authorized to clear roads ot all ob
structions necessary to allow a resumption
of traffic. Turnpikes aro uo moro exempt
than common roads In this particular, and
must also bo kept open, not in name only,
but in actual fact. To dig a single road
track through a long snowdrift Is not open
ing the road. Vehicles can not pass In it,
and it is not such a roadway as the law
contemplates. Accidents resulting In pe
cuniary loss or bodily Injury would un
doubtedly carry damages with them If
brought into the courts. It would be well,
therefore, for all interested In opening
blockaded roads to bear this In mind.
Miss Annie Sloan, daughter of M. C.

Tux Collector.
Tho Act of 1885 pro rides for tho election
of a tax collector. The Town of Blooms
burg, being organized under a special law,
does not come under the provision of this
act so far as the collection of taxes Is con
cerned. But the voters ot the town each
year elect a tax collector whose duty It Is
to collect the county, school and poor
taxes. It has not been the custom thus far to
place the duplicate of the town In the
bands of the collector thus elected, but to
give it to some one specially appointed by
tbo council, but there seems to be no good
reason for this. When the electors of the
town select ono In whom they are willing
to entrust the collection of part ot their
taxes, why not give him tho whole ot the
work? If all the duplicates were planed In
bis hands, ono man could afford to givo bis
entire tlmo to the business, but divided up
as It Is the collector must necessarily havo
some other pursuit or be cannot live.
