gather ice. From Bloomsburg to the North
Mountain there was not a pond twenty
feet square but that somo person was seen

ice was frozen, and hence resort was made
to small ponds. In a journey up tho

JOHN II. HI5KUINI1,
One of tho saddest deaths thtt lias oc
curred In this town for a long tlmo Is that
of John Rcoco tlerrlng, son nf county
treasurer G, A. Herring, who dlod on
Monday at 12 o'clock, at the ago of 23
years. Ho had been 111 for sometime, and
whllo his disease was known to bo Incur,
able, his death was not looked for so soon.
When It caino It was peaceful and appar
cntly painless.
John R. Herring was born In Bhcnan.
doah, Schuylkill Co. Ills father moved to
Bloomsburg when John was a lllttle child
Ho attended school at tho Normal and In
1885 ho entered Lafayette College at Eas
ton, and graduated in 1839, taking odo of
tho honor on commencement day. During
his Senior year ho was edltor-ln-chlcf of
the "Lafayottc,'' a bi-weekly published In
tho Interest of the college tie was a mem.
bcr of tho Chl Phi Fraternity, and tho
Franklin Literary Society. In 1833 ho was
registered as a student at law In lho office
of Ikcler & Herring, and stneo his gradua
tion he read law with his brother Grant
Herring En, until the 23th day of last
November, when ho was taken sick and
was r.ontlued to the houso until bis death.
Everything that could be done for him' was
done, and the best medical advice sought,
but in vain.
Tho deceased was a young man of correct
habits, unblemished character a quiet
gentlemanly disposition, and possessed of
more than ordinary ability. Fully equip
ped for tho battlo of life, ,ho had scarco
otercu the arena n ull tho fell destroyer,
death, claimed him as Its own, and tho
hopes of tho family and friends for a use
ful and brilliant csrecr, havo been dashed
to tho ground. Such Is life; such Is death.
The funeral took placo on Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Hodman
officiating. Rov. I. M. Patterson, Rev. 8
W Sears, and Dr. D. J. Waller also partici
pated In tho services. Tho casket was a
vi ry handsomo ono covered with figured
ush of dark gray color. Upon it rested a
beautiful tloral pillow sent by the members
of his college fraternity. Tho pall bearers
were six students from Lafayette College,
among them being Frank and Fred Ikcler,
sons of Judge Ikcler. The attendance at
the luneral was very large, and there was
universal expression ot regret at tho un
timely death of so esttmablo a young man,
stricken down In tho bloom of youth.
The family have tho warmest sympathy of
the community.
PKOPCR ROAD I.AWH.
1I1LI. TO SUIT ALL PARTS OF THE STATE DIF
FICULT TO FRAME.
John A Gundy, of Lcwisburg, Pa., as
Chairman of the Stato Board of Agricul
ture s Committee on Roads, gives bis idea
of how to obtain better highways In the
State, as follows : "A general road law
tor Pennsylvania suited to the varied con
ditions of the several sections of the State,
ill bo difficult to framo. But such a law
needed, and should designate the kiud of
road to bo constructed, which should be
suited to the kind and amount of traffic on
the road. Many roads are so little used
that to macadamize them would bo reck
less extravagance.
COUNTY AND TOWNSHIP SUPERVISORS.
"A County Supervisor should bo appoin
ted who should bo competent, and thotild
authorize the kind of road to be construct
ed. A township supervisor should bo
elected who should b3 made primarily and
Individually liablo for damages resulting
from his negligence, and should give bonds
for faithful performance of his duty. Tho
road taxes should bo made payable in
money in all cases. But no law will be
nforced unless tho people are in sympa.
thy with it. They can only bo brought in
ympathy with a new road law that would
make radical changes In the making of
roads and collecting of taxes, by educa
tion, by showing Ihem by actual demon-
(ration that it will be advantageous and
economical for them to support such
changes. This can best be done by the
construction of short stretches of macadam
roads on tho most important highways in
each township, selecting the worst por
tions of such roads for such improvements.
Beelng such roads and using them in com.
parison with poorly made mud roads will
be tho most poteut educator that can be
had.
APPRECIATION OOMKS TARDILY.
"This is well shown in tho Uassatt road
in Montgomery county, as also in a short
stretch of about eighty rods ot macadam
made in one of tho townships of Union
county some flfteen years ago. Tho por
tion macadamized was about the worst
section of a four-mile road leading out ot
Lowlsbur;. Tho stones were at tho side of
the road, and wero broken and tho road
bed coveicd wide enough for two tracks,
depth of stone unknown, at a cost, I am
tola, or only four dollars per lineal rod, or
$1,230 per mile. The supervisor who con
structcd the road was voted out of office
the following spring, as might have been
supposed. But to-day, flfteen years after,
with not one dollar spent on this section
since, this road is considered the most
economically constructed in tho whole
township, an1' the supervisor now receives
the credit due him at the tlmo. Roads on
which such permanent improvements are
to be mado should bo properly located, aud
changes contemplated should be made be.
fore tho work Is begun.
MACADAM'S SYSTEM THE HE IT AT PRESENT.
"But is tho micidam system to do tho
road in tho twentieth century? 1 think
noL The Appiao Way, tunning from
Homo to Capua, has been In uso for 2200
yrars, and the macadam, a cheaper form
has been In use for 100 years. Surely tho
genius nf the twentieth century will dovlst
a better plan. It this Improved road be
steel rail resting Ion a Keel tie, like tho
street railways of our cities, or whatever
form Is likely to be adopted, all work
done should bo such as will be suited to
the new roads, and probably nothing moro
nearly fills this nqulrcmcut than th
macadam system. But whatever is done,
let us go as last as education of the peo
ple will warrant. It they are edit
catcd to demand good roads, Iboy will
come-, If not, It will bo difficult to get
them under any law.

I would also advise young women not to
depend for happiness upon the flatteries ot
men. It is a poor compliment to your sex
that so many men feel obliged in you
prcsenco to offer unmeaning compliments
Men capable of elegant and claboratel con
versation elsowhero sometimes feel called
upon at tho door of tho drawing-room to
drop their common senso 3rd to dolo out
sickening (latteries. They say things
about your dress, and about your appear
ance that you know, and they know, arc
false. They say you are an angel. You
know you aro not. They tell you that
'you are looking singularly beautiful this
evening," when you know very well that
el, remark is only a', commonplace ono .
Some men think that a conversation with a
woman is interesting only ai It is dotted
and spiced with flatteries and meanlpless
compliments. Determined to tell tho truth
in ofllee, and store, and shop, they consid
er it honorable to Ho to a woman. The
same thing that they told you on this side
ot the drawing-room, three minutes ago
they said to some ono on the other sldo of
the drawing-room. Oh, let no ono trample
on your self-respect. Tho meanest thing
on which a wdman can build her happi
ness is the flatteries of men. Uev. T. De

life was quiet and unassuming, yet earnest
