THE HOUSE NUMBERING ORDINANCE- At a meeting of the town council held May 7th, the following action was taken, as appears by the minutes ; "Messrs. McIIale and Wcissingcr appear and ask the privilege of num bering the houses and buildings of the town of Bloomsburg with no expense to the town, they to have sole right of supplying tue numbers and placing in dex boards at corners of streets. Re quest granted." At the same meeting an ordinance was passed regulating the numbering of houses in which it is provided that the secretary shall furnish any proper ty owner with the appropriate number for his property, on application This action was premature, for the Council has no power to give to any one the exclusive right to supply num bers. Owing to complaints that have been made to members of the council, President II arm an has notified McHale and Weissingcr to proceed no further with the numbering. If the houses are to be numbered let it be done at home. Any Bloomsburg man can measure twenty feet as well as anybody else, and our Bloomsburg hardware men can supply the num bers, and any mechanic can put them up. As the matter stands the ordi nance is not likely to be enforced at present Mr. Kuousa denies anv connection with the arrest of Ellis Young. Benton, Pa., May 18th 1891. Editor Columbian : Dear Sir: I would like to have permission to publish a few lines in your worthy columns. In order to correct an error that has been circula ted in and throughout this neighbor hood, I publish the following letter: Sheriff's Office, Luzerne Co. Wilkes Barre, Pa. May 12th, 1891 Mr. Knouse, Dear JSir : I think you have been misinformed as to your name being down as a witness; as I cannot find anything of it on record here. I think it is your brother in stead of you. Yours Respectfully, R. P. Robinson Now the above letter ought to be satisfactory proof to show that I was not implicated in anv way, shape or form in the Ellis Young arrest. I have been censured for being impli cated in the matter ; but I defy any person or persons in either Luzerne or Columbia Counties to make affidavit to my being m any way, shape or form whatever implicated in the Young matter. There has been word circula ted that I had been with Lutz to Wilkes Barre, in the matter of Ellis Young, and any one that says so is a branded falsifier ; as I had never spok en to Lutz or any one else in regard to the arrest. If people would take the time to read our county papers they would be able to know who the prosecutors were. Now this statement with the above Sheriff's letter ought to be sufficient evidence to convince any rational being of my innocence of the matter, and if the above is'nt satisfac tory, they can call for No. 2. Respectfully, &c, Alexander Knouse. A Beal Balsam is Kemp's Balsam The dictionary says, "A balsam is a thick, pure aromatic substance flowing from trees."

One of our young fisherman caught nearly fifty speckled beauties in a half day's outing, one of which he said was over twelve inches long. If the rest, of which he did not speak, were as large or larger, it was indeed a very good catch. The barn of Samuel Stackhouse, who lives near Unityville, was burned last Thursday. As Mr. Stackhouse was trying to save the horses one of them kicked him into the fire, but they all escaped. It is said that a boy who is living with him became angry and set it on hre, and owns to it. There must be some patriotism about the boy, and if he continues to be so truthful, may become as famous as George Washington yet. wnne uick Siemens was running his wagon out of the field last Friday, the tongue struck him on the leg breaking it above the knee. kzekiel fritz has finished painting his house ana it now presents a neat appearance.

Try and keep young turks from get ting wet till they begin to sho w the red, after that they can generally take care of themselves. Turkeys can stand severe hardships in the way ol weather etc., when old, but while young are very tender, and need good care. Don't let your brood of young turks wander far from the house while young; better confine the mother for a few days. 1 hen in case ot showers it is easier to keep them from getting wet. Make friends with your turkeys, don t dog or drive them on to your neignoors tarm, as some have been known to do. If you can't raise turkeys, and be at peace with your neighbors, better far leave the turkey business alone. Don't forget to give your young birds of any kind a feed occasionaly, that is mixed with coal oil, as it will keep of cholera. If your Turkeys come home nights be sure and give them a good supper which will induce them to come home every night, then you know where they are and how they are doing. W. B. German. Do You Congh?

SAID TO BE SERIOUSLY SICK HIS NERVES AND CONSTITUTION OVERSTRAINED AND ILLNESS FOLLOWS. The friends of Secretary Blaine in Washington are very much alarmsd concerning his condition, and it is be lieved both by them and friends of the Damrosch family that the Secretary is a much sicker man than the state ments of his physicians would indicate. When he was first taken ill it was rumored that he was stricken with ver tigo, but Walter Damrosch promptly supplied contradiction, stating that it was a simple attack of indigestion, as serting that Mr. Blaine was advanced in years, having been 61 last January, and that therefore a slight indiscretion, an ordinary cold or something of that sort would quickly disturb or upse; him. Later Mr. Damrosch practically admitted that the attack was not so slight as he had at first thought or stated and that Mr. Blaine was con fined to his bed with the chances of staying there an indefinite time al though he "might be about any day." A gentleman who is a friend of the Damrosch family and Secretary Blaine, said that the Secretary is a very ill man and that it might be a long time before he recovered his vigor. He has done a good deal of work, and his nerves and constitution have suffered in consequence He added that it was by no means a certainty when Mr. Blaine would go back to Washington, for the reason that he was unable to get out of bed. Even if he recovers sufficiently to resume his duties he will have to be very careful. "It grieves me very much, said the gentleman, 'but I do not think I exaggerate when I say it is very probable that Mr. Blaine will never recover his strength entirely."
