The Editor Isn't In It- A newsoaDer man has no business to aspire to or seek office, anywhere, It's his business to try and get office for the other fellows. To sound the praises of the candidate and keep quiet about his failings; to whoop'er up for his man and let. his man for get all about him after he gets elected; to defend his candidates against the unjust attacks of the opposition and then to see whatever favors his can didates have to bestow, go to the other fellow. It's his business to boom up his town for all it is worth month after month and to see $100 worth of job printing go out of town a month because a dollar or two can be saved by so doing It is the business ot the newspaper to give every local enterprise enthusiastic and frequent send offs and than to catch shoel be cause he failed to record that a prom inent man has his delivery wagon newly painted. To subscribe liberally to every public, charitable and church enterprise, advertise them for nothing, pay their own way to everything and then be called prejudiced and mean spirited because a column is not de voted to that particular affair. Do you wonder there are so many cranks in the newspaper business? It is bound to make either a crank or a philosopher out of a man. Ex. Clearing out Light Suits; a few left at Lowenberg's Latest U. S. Gov't Report. fPW"fc fit fslfife THE DOG AND THE LAW 1).)L'S arc animals wild by nature. and like some others, as the horse and ox, may be tamed and domesticated, but unlike them, can never be made useful. They are a nuisance to the owner and to all his neighbors and are a constant menace to the community "Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thing ?'' sufficiently indicates the characteristics of this pestiferous animal. A few anecdotes and inci dents in the history of the race are not sufficient to redeem it from general condemnation. The baying and howl ing of dogs in the night time is to many persons intolerable, and nervous and sick eople and children are greatly disturbed by such discordant noises. Various statutes have been passed restraining and endeavoring to regu late the nuisance. In 1851, Purdon, nth Ed. page 203, Boroughs were authorized to prohibit anil regulate the running at large of dogs and other animals, and in the 57 Sec. of the Act, ' To authorize and direct the killing of dogs running at large con trary to the regulations of the borough." Under the above Act, the town of Bloomsburg by Ordnance No. 1, pass ed May 13-1870, provided that : 1. All dogs owned or kept by any person within the town limits shall be taxed in the following manner: One dollar for the first dog and two dol lars, for each and every dog above that number so owned or kept, and to be collected in like manner as taxes are recoverable by law, for the use of the town. 2. Every bitch owned by any per son shall be taxed three dollars, and further, shall not at any time be per mitted to run at large within the limits of the town. And in case any one is found running at large it shall oe the duty of the constable to kill, or have the same killed as soon as practicable, for which service he shall receive a compensation of one dollar from the town." Not one of the constables or police men performs hi3 duty in this regard or pretends to. Hundreds ot the animals sjioken of in the 2nd Section are running the town everyday, in a more or less excitable condition, but the ordinance is as useless a.s the officer, and the people are obliged to put up with three nuisances rolled into one Is this to continue ? Has the public no rights as against these marauders? In many parts of the town citizens are endeavoring to beautify their grounds they are setting out shubbery they are cultiva'ing flowers they are removing their fences ; and they are apt to find in the morning that what thev so carefully planted in the evening has been torn out by the dogs and destroyed, during me nignt. 1 nc lawn is scratched tip, the flower beds rol ed over and other depredations committed. There are perhaps one thousand do"s m the town of Bloomsburg tH..re are two hundred and nineteen rntn-iipil for taxation and five are re gistered under the act of 1S78. What sufficient answer have the assessors to maiie to such a state of facts ? How have they performed the duty incum bent upon them? They are to be classed with the constables in this matter and are equally remiss. Two or three thousand dollars ought to be raised by dog tax in this town, and to enforce the law would be a double relief. For if the dogs which are not returned have no owner, they should be at once killed, and the streets and sidewalks be relieved of lazy, snapping curs. For although the Act of 1889 makes all doss personal property, yet personal property must have an owner or keeper, and if not, then no man can complain of the killing or asporta tion of any of the tribe. When during the August days some rabid dog in vades the town and bites all the curs and pugs which attempt to hold con versation with him, perhaps the pub lic will be aroused to a sense of the danger, unless it thinks more of its dogs than it does of its children. In 1847, in Lycoming county, be fore Judge Anthony was tried the case of Kline vs. King, 6 Pa. 318. Kline brought an action against King to recover damages for killing a dog belonging to the plaintiff. King pleaded not guilt;, and specially that the dog came into his garden and en closed premises for the purposes of plunder and depredation and was actually engaged therein, at and about the time defendant killed him. It was also alleged that the slut was vicious and ferocious, but that is not impor tant here. Anthony instructed the jury to find for Plaintiff, and upon the verdict and judgment the defendant took a writ ot error to the Supreme Court. The case was argued by Henry D. Ellis for Plaintiff in error and bv James Armstrong for defendant in error. The opinion of the Court re versing the court below was delivered by Coulter J. Another branch of de fense was that the slut was in the net of committing a trespass in the garden of the defendant at the time she was killed, and had committed a trespass therein a few hours before, bv takinji fisii a' few hours before, from the wall, which his wife had hung up to dry, as is usual among women. The defendant's wife had an undoubted right to bang up the tiah to dry in his own enclosure convenient to the kitchen, or against the kitchen wall. And he had a right to protect and preserve '.hat convenient use of his property. His garden was well fenced ; and his property whether meat or fish, in his cellar, in his kitchen or in his yard, it was lawful for him to pieserve against any man s dog, and if he could not otherwise protect it, he might kin the dog when caught on his premises in the act of destruction. In Mason vs. Keeling, Lord Raymond, 60S, Chief Justice Holt says, "That if a dog breaks his neighbor's close, his ownei will not be subject to an action." And are such anin.als to be charter ed for the annoyance and discomfort of people ? But if the owner were responsible, who can detect and bear witness against the nocturnal depreda Hons and thieves? A dog is a useful animal ; but he must be taught useful qualities and innocent habits by his master, except when defending his master's property, or his person, or that of the family, and then he may be as courageous and ferocious as he pleases. A dog is not to be kept for the purpose of destroying the proper ty ot neighbors. And it tins man King, found it necessary for the pre servation of his property, he was j'isti fied in killing the dog, when found in the act of destruction on his ground and within his own enclosure. This was adjudged a good plea of justification that the dog was in the warren of de fendant, pursuing conies, and that de fendant killed him : Cro. Jmes, 44 So it is, if a dog runs after deer in s park. Barrington vs. Turner, 3 Lev 28 And a man s garden here is equally protected. It is somewhat peculiarly within the law's guardian ship, as being immediately connected with his domestic arrangements, and almost always, as in this case, attached to his castle or dwelling. The question of a fence is not im portant and never was, as the hounds sail over it without touching it, and the curs and pugs crawl under. But, in addition, it is submitted that in the present state of the law, no fence is needed, and open grounds and gardens and kitchen walls, and culinary tables are protected. This case has never been controverted it is the law and every dog in town is subject to killing, for they all scratch, steal, trample, destroy, commit nuisance and trespass upon the private grounds of others. If a wagon drives along the street, if the young ladies are out horseback riding, at every corner a half dozen mangy curs are barking and snapping at the horses heels, and danger to life and limb is imminent ; but no one cares so long as the precious dog is safe, and his yelping and howling and barking contribute to swell the volume of musical noises of the night.

What Your Great Grandmother Did- She hetcheled the flax and carded the wool, and wove the linen, and spun the tow, and made the clothes for her husband and ten children. She made butter and cheese, she dipped tallow candles, to light the house at night, and she cooked all the food for her household by an open fireplace and a brick oven. es ; and when she was forty years of age, she was already an old lady whose bust days were over, Her shoulders were bent and her joints enlarged by hard work, and she wore spectacles and a cap. Her great grand daughter, with all the modern conveniences for comfort, refinement and luxury, may be as charming and attractive at forty-five as at twenty, Especially is this true if she preserves her health and beauty by the use of Dr. Pierces ravorite Prescription, which wards off all female ailments irregularities, cures them if they already exist, keeps the life current healthful and vigorous, and enables the women of middle age to retain the freshness of girlhood upon brow and cheeks, the light of youth in her eyes, and its elasticity in lv;r step.

Children's Day p.t J&ifflinville Children's Day was very appropri ately observed in this place, last Sun day June 26th. The programme cho sen for the occasion was, "The League of honor," and these were the planks proposed for its platform. "Honor Yourself," "Honor the Bible," "Hon or the Church," Honor the Sabbath," "Honor Temperance," "Honor your Parents," "Honor Truth," "Honor Knowledge," "Honor Christ." The several speakers who addressed us on these most interesting topics, gave evi dence of very thorough preparation. They spoke with considerable force, and commended the most respectful attention on the part of the audience. The same can be said of the recita tions and songs given by the smaller scholars. The music consisted of anthems, solos, and a duet by the choir, and choice songs by the Sunday School. Only one wholly destitute of the mu sical sense, would fail to appreciate the fine manner in which these well selected songs and music were ren dered. We are justly proud of this fine array of home talent, and hope to see it more fully developed m the fu ture. The collection was something over twenty-seven dollars. Children's Day was also observed at Mamville, on Saturday evening, June 35th. Miss Ida Johns trained the children at this place, and made it a complete success, the house was crowded, and well it might be, for it was a very joyous occasion. We en joyed the songs and recitations, and had a good hearty laugh with the chil dren. The collection was about eight dollars. The day was also observed at Fowlersville, on Sunday evening, June 5th. A great storm gathered up just at the time we were gathering for the service ; which not only kept many away, but greatly delayed the exercises, and caused more or less eml arrass ment. Yet, notwithstanding all this, there was a very good congregation. "Crowning the Cross," was the pro gramme chosen, and its instructions were beautifully carried out. The collection was about nine dollars. These amounts added to that of Lime Ridge, gives a total of $ 85.00 E. White. The above came too late for pub lication last week.

We formerly had bonded warehouse room suf ficient to Btoie 8,000 gallons of whiskey, which we considered a stock sufllclcnt to meet our trade, but we found however, the demand for our whlHkey such, that for us to be able to (ret a larger stock of old whiskey, we were compelled to Increase our atoraife room and have Just com pleted nu Ironclad bonded warehouse wtth a ciipai.-lty suniclent to more ai.ow gallons of whlHkey. We aim to sell no whiskey less than one year old and from that on up to the oldest we have In stock except In original packages, thereby giving our patrons the benefit of the age. What we claim over a great many other dis tillers: First, Brlarcreek being a rich fertllo valley, we are able to get a superior quality of grain to manufacture our whiskey from. Skcond : Having our flouring mill In connec tion with our distillery we clean all our grain for distillation over a rigid process of the smut ter, thereby, making It as clean as the grain that Is ground Into Hour. Tiiikd : we hand umsh, double distill our whiskey and then re-dlstlll 011 a copper distill. Fourth: We leach our whiskey well thereby getting out the fusil oil and all Impurities, which new whiskey contains. Fikth : We use no second-handed barrels, our whiskey Ih nil put In new, clean, Indiana White oak l-arrels which Is considered the best barrel In the market. hixth: it is a known fact that the hotter whiskey is kept the faster It will age, tberefoa.', wo heat our bonded ware-house with steam so the thermometer will register 70 degrees, when the tf mtieratura Is at zero. We have never distilled any corn, and donor by guarantee all our whiskey positively pure rye or wheat and for purity and quality we. defy compel It Inn, and to any persun who will ilnd any poisonous drug in our whiskey, put In by u, iui It leaves our distillery or sales-room wo will forfeit (1W.00.
