Argument in base ball or any other subject is a good thing when it is not carried to excess, but he who loves controversy simply for its own saice and because he would rather quarrel than be at peace with his fe lowman is a nuisance.

The following towns .in this section are among the num ber: Berwick, Danville, Dunmore, Dushore, Luzerne Borough, Sayre, Stroudsburg, Williamsport. The increase in salary amounts to irom one to two hundred dollars per year. It is claimed that the business of the post office correctly indicates the business condition of the country. When it falls off it indicates hard times, and when it increases, you can depend on it that business is improving. Prof. Heeges, who has been ap pointed a director of farmer's in stitutes for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, answered as follows, at Lancaster, a few days ago, con cerning the Pennsylvania outlook : "From personal. observation, dur ing a journey through all sections of the state, the prospects through out for wheat are the poorest I have ever seen in Pennsylvania. The corn is small and started irregular ly, and the general complaint is that there has been a lack of vital " ity in seed corn. Grass is also poor and oats is the most promising of the crops. Ot fruits, there will be a big crop of pears, and the outlook for apples is fine all over the state, while peaches will be a total failure. niuns are almost as baa as peaches."

Joshua Davis of Madison, Wis consin, in the opinion of physicians is a wonder. A few days ago he informed the physicians of the Mon- dota Hospital for the Insane, of which institution he is an inmate, that he had at different times swal lowed naiL, wire, etc.', and begjed of them to remove them and relieve his suffering. The medical men decided that Davis was in a very critical condition and that an opera tion might alleviate his agony. They proceeded, and found imbed ded in his stomach and intestines, both ot which were in a perforated state, half a pound of nails, two pocket-knife blades and a lot of twisted wire. Some of the nails gave evidence of having been in the stomach a long time. The Seventh Retriment. one of the provisional regiments organized last summer on account of the war, will be disbanded.

"One of the principal nuisances that Chief-of-Police Miucemoyer has to contend with at present are the hucksters who attempt to hawk oranges, ba nanas, &c. , about the streets in vio lation of our borough ordinance. For the benefit of those fellows, who are mostly from other towns, we would state that the next one who tries to dispose of his truck in this way will run up hard against Chief Miucemoyer and the profits of his day's work will have to be pretty large if they cover the fine he will be obliged to pay."

A Good Showing- At a meeting of the Centra lia Bor ough School Board, the rate of school and building tax for the year 1890 was fixed at seven mills, the same as it has been for same years previous. The board presented their final re port, which showed that, with allow ances made for outstanding taxes,etc, the last year's board came out square, that is, the expenses and collections were about t the same. Bearing in mind the many difficulties the board was called upon to contend with, this is a good showing, and is deserving of praise on the part of the citizens. BASE BALL.

Normal started the fun in the third inning hi? nA. ing three men across the rubber after two men were out. These three tal lies can be attributed to a rank de- cision o! the umpire. He ralW a runner safe on third base when he was clearly out. and which wnnlil have retired the side.
