The salary of many postmasters
in Pennsylvania, will be increased
on July 1 st. The following towns
.in this section are among the num

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.

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

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

They proceeded, and found imbed

pocket-knife blades and a lot of

gave evidence of having been in the

Transient fruit vendors will run
up against a circumstance in Dan

has an ordinance against this sort
of thing, and the authorities intend
to enforce it as will be seen by the
following which we take from the
Montour American. . "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."

the passing of a train is something
exceedingly rare.
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.
