The Columbia Daily Calendar
remains the only valuable daily pad
calendar. T he calendar for 93 is
the same genera! design as that
previous years, consisting of 366 leaves,
one for every day in the year, and a
calender for the entire year. The day
of the week, of the month, and of the
year are given, and on each leaf is a
short sermon on the "Gospel of Out
doors. Health and Happiness," with
valuable hints on practical road mak
ing. The leaves are so arranged that
there will be no stub left, and each
one can be referred to at any time
during the year. The pad is upon a
metallic stand of ivory black, arranged
so as to rest upon the desk at a con
venient angle. The pad matter, which
in the aggregate is enough to make a
book, is all fresh and new, and is of
more pertinent value than that of any
previous calendar.. The calendar is
issued by the Pope Mfg. Co., of Bos
ton, New York, and Chicago.

The Reformer! people of the
Orangeville charge were surprised at the
announcement made by Rev. Houtz
week ago last Sunday that he had re
ceived a call in another field of labor,
and he called a meeting of the Joint
Consistory at Orangeville on Friday,
December 16, for the purpose ot
tendering his resignation to take effect
April i, i8oj. Having served the
Orangeville charge lor twenty three
years, the supposition began to assert
itself that he had been here a long
time and that the peop e desired
change. lhis supposition was
strengthened by a seemingly crowing
apathy, or indifference among a part of
the membership. Therefore having
an acceptable field open to him, in
view of the supposed condition of the
desired change, he took the prelimin
ary steps to sever his connection with
the people of the Orangeville charge
But this wakened up his flock and
strenuous efforts were made to find
how many and who would oppose
Ins retentional as pastor of the Orange
ville charge before the meeting of the
Joint Consistory, in order that they
might deliberate wisely, and decide for
the good of all. Not a person was
found that desired a change of Pastor
and all things considered the Joint
Consistory unanimously declined to
accept his resignation It would be
well for the people of the charge to
take warning from the lesson her
taught, and cive more tokens of
appreciation of his valuable service
for he may not sacrifice another good
opportunity for their benefit.
There is every prospect of a mild

The boys are anxiously waiting for

THE DUTIES Or iUUirORS.
Mr, Editor :
In your last paper is an article un
der the caption "The Spring Election."
In that article you give some informa
tion, but more light seems to be need
ed. A part of the closing paragraph
of your article is as follows : "The
new law only requiring that for town
ship and borough offices the certificate
be tiled with the township ami borough
auditors ten days before the election."
Now will you please give us the rnaner
of this filing, where and how ? And
the duties of the auditors after the fil
ing in regard to tickets, paying bills
&c. Are the auditors required to
meet as a board to attend to these new
duties ? Yours truly,
A. V. Voixu.
The duties of township and borough
auditors are as follows :
1. To receiv? and keep all nomina
tion certificates and papers for town
ship and borough officers (including
election officers and school directors),
and all withdrawals from nominations
made there by, and to receive, con
sider and decide all formal objections
to such certificates and papers.
2. To print (iu the form prescribed
in sees. 13-16) for township and bor
ough elections, seventy five bal ots for
each fifty and fraction of fifty voters on
the assessors' list, and an equal num
ber of specimen ballots, to obtain from
the county commissioners the requisite
cards of instruction, and to deliver
such ballots and cards to the judges of
election the day before the election.
Sees. 13, 17.
3. To certify to the county commis
sioners the cost of printing the 1 ailots.
Sec. 13.
No special manner of filing is pres
cribed by the law. The auditors
should fix a time and place where they
will sit, at least ten days before the
election, and receive the nomination
certificates and papers. All papers
should be marked "Filed February
8lh 1 S9.5," or whatever the date may
be, and signed by one or more of the
auditors. If there be objections filed
to the certilicates and papers they
should be marked in the same way.
After disposing of all formal objections
the auditors must procure the printing
of tickets. The county commissioners
should provide blanks on which the
auditors can certify the printing bills
&c.

PERIL IS DEHORNINQ COWS.
THE VETERINARIANS MAY CAUSE A
WHOt.K.SAI.E PROSECUTION.
The dehorning of cattle has be
come an insatiable fad amomi
Chester County farmers and long
horned cows are crowing rare. Over
oo cattle were dehorned last week
in two townships. Two men cut off
the horns of 171 cows in one day.
It is profitable business for the men
who perforin the operations, and this
fact has led to what may terminate in
a big grist ot interesting lawsuits Dr.
I.J. libson, a veterinary surgeon, of
Cochranvillc, claims that none but a
man of his profession can lawfully de-
rorn cattle, although scores of cows
are robbed of their horns by men who
never saw a medical colleee. A
number of animals have been killed by
blundering operations, and the sur
geons, whose field has been invaded,
contemplate a wholesale prosecution.
I hat is the only section of the State
where dehorning is carried on to any
great extent, Farmers say their cows
yeild more milk when hornless.
