Parker, justice of the peace and nrmtmaster at Sereno, was - ntfcn-inta at Cnurt this AUIUI1 lilt - . week. He says the rural tree de livery system has played havoc with the post office. He gets no letters to handle whatever, and as his remuneration is based on the stamps cancelled, it does not pay to keep the office open. He has , written to the department stating the facts and expressing a desire to . be relieved, but thus far his resig nation has not been accepted. He has been informed that he will be held responsible until a successor is annointed. The star route too, he says lurnishes cause for much complaint. It takes a circuitous course, benefiting only a small per centage of the people. Cigars. The Sweet Jaras are the finest in Bloomsburg for a 5 smoke, try them, at Mercer's Drug and Book Store.

A few evenings ago a party of gentlemen were smoking, after re freshments hod been served, at small company in a private house. As it was the first of May, and most of them were stockholders in a well-known copper company, the subject of dividends naturally arose, as it had been expected that quarterly dividend would be paid at that time. Why it was not, was the subject of the conversation One gentleman said that he had been informed that it had been dis covered that large quantities of rich ore were being drawn up the smoke stack by the forced draft necessary to run seven smelters with one stack, and that it was estimated that about $2000 a day had been the loss, until the defect was discovered, and he accounted for the non-payment of dividends by this fact. Another member of the partv at once lapsed into thoughtful mood, and remained so until attention was called to it and he was asked why be was so quiet His reply was that he ' was trying to study up some kind of a dividend catcher to put on top of that smoke stack." Every one present hoped that his inventive genius might be able to find the needed article. Sqaring The Circle. The Focht ballot bill, the Republi can organization measure, which will change the present system by "squar ing the circle," was on Friday made a law.

When it reached the House, the eloquence of the Democratic orators was hurled against its passage, but it through. It has been in the ernor's hanch for some time. went Go In speaking of the merits of the bill a State attache, who is authority on such subjects says: "The bill signed by the Governor does this place of the circle at the head of the ticket we have a square opposite the name of each party. The only other change the bill provides for is the grouping of the candidates for each office under one head in the sam column." hi Suriously Injured at Berwick.
