Mr. Kline lived for many years at Orangeville, and it will soon be eighteen years since he bought one of the Caleb Barton farms in Wood county, and moved out there. He has many relatives and friends here who would be glad to see him more frequently. - ;: It is astonishing how many people appear to think that it is the business of a newspaper to jump iu and latubast everything in sight at the request of any modest individ ual who has not the nerve to move a hen off her nest. If any honest man has occasion to rake a brother citizen over the coals on account of a personal or public grievance, he can Fend iu a letter over his name, aud if it is not a libel, we shall let him see how it looks in print. How very frequently we hear the remark; "How cau that lellow support a wife? " But it don't ap pear to affect the marriage market to any very perceptible extent. Fear of poverty and hardship sel dom ever stands iu the way of a couple who are honestly satisfied with each other. The passion for each other's society strengthens mind and will, and such obstacles as lack of means and misty pros pects instantly vanish. . . Govei nor Pennypacker is swing ing the veto axe quite lively, and has already shown that he has opinions of his own, and is not to be dominated by the machine lead ers. Many influences are being brought to bear upon him to induce him to veto the iniquitous Philadel phia ripper bill, the object of which is to take all power from the Mayor, and put it in the hands of Councils. This would mean a return to the lawlessness of twenty years ago. It is believed by the friends of good government that the Governor will not allow this bill to become a law. PURELYPERSONAL Geo.

' A shoe dealer says a late fad which is likely to become popular this spring, especially with women is the tan-colored rubber overshoe These rubbers are, of course, in tended to be worn with tan-colored shoes, and they are, for some mys terious reason, more visible on tan shoe, if the shades are the same, than a black rubber is on a black shoe. "When you come to think of it," said the dealer, it's queer the tan rubber was not thought of long ago, for a black rubber on a tan shoe certainly does make the feet unduly conspicuous on a muddy day. I suppose the makers never believed that the tan shoe had come to stay, but now that its permanence seems assured they are making rubbers to match Morgan Samuels, a former resi dent of Bloomsburg, and a brother of George Samuels of town, died at his home in West Nanticoke.
