License for Peddlers. In the Butler court, a decision was rendered sustaining the imposition of a line by the borough upon an offender against an ordinance prohibiting peddling. The Butler Times says: "An interesting case disposed of in court was that of Butler borough vs. John Hagins. The defendant in the case represented an out-of-town grocery firm and sold to Butler people on orders, delivering the goods to the purchasers. Information was made against him by the borough authorities and he was fined for selling without a license. He appealed from the decision of the burgess and the case was heard in court and the decision is now made in favor of the borough. The case was an exceedingly important one, as the decision gives the borough the right to collect a fine from persons selling by j order." I Bradford County Will Work Its Prisoners. The Bradford county prison board which was formed some months ago, I will soon have prisoners confined in the county jail at work. The act of the legislature permitting this luis not been genera ly followed in the state because of some disadvantages but the board in Bradford county will give the system a trial. The work of prison labor, while not directly highly renumcrative, has the grit saving of scaring away from the country a class of citizens who com mit minor depredations for the yako of securing warm quarters for the wint» r months without having lo work fir :t Jiving The board is composed of the president judg«' as president of tho board, the sheriff', as vice president, and the county commissioners men Ijers. Wiillamsport Bulletin. Dog Days are Here. The dog days are here and will last six weeks. This season is regarded by many persons as more unhealthy than that which immediately precedes or succeeds it, and as being a time when mankind are more liable to attacks from disease through exposure or impru dence in their general habits than in any other. If there is no foundation in fact for the belief it is a superstition of long standing. There are even those now who would not for a single mo ment be regarded as at all superstitious who look upon the dog days as exer cising bad influences upon everything. The heat while the dog days last is usually more sultry and oppressive than any other in the summer. Then, too, meats and vegetables are supposed to be in more danger of spoiling from the effects of the weather than at any othertime. Be this as it may, we will enter upon the dog days, and it would be well for us to be careful in our diet and manner of living. Result of Carelessness. Eighty-seven thousand letters were placed in the post office of the United States last year without being address ed. Fifteen thousand letters were placed in the post office containing money, ranging in sums from a dime to twenty dollar bills, without a sign of address. One hundred and fifty-six thousand persons last year forgot to place stamps on their envelopes. It would seem almost impossible that persons should be so careless especially when mailing letters containing mon ey, and yet this is the record of the Dead Letter office last year. Most of these letters found their owners event ually, but many of them did not. The U. S. postal service is almost perfect in its handling of the mails but it cannot always provide against the carelessness of the individual. When you mail a letter always give it a final glance be fore dropping it in the box. In this way you may often avoid the result of your own carelessness.—Ex. Murder in a Lumber Camp. INDIANA, PA., July 19.—During a tight in a lumber camp at Kehrum, in Bufflngton township, this county, George Clinton, one of the principals, was shot and killed, while the alleged murderer, John Dubie, alias John Gainor, is at large with officers in pur suit. Dubie walked boldly into Nanty Glo this morning and bought a bag of crackers and cheese and immediately left. Officer John Bratton, of Altoona, who was on his trail, arrived 15 min utes too late. It is believed that Dubie has found a hiding place iu one of the abandoned coal mines in the vicinity, where friends will provide him with food until he can escape. The principals in the above shooting affray are known in this county. Clinton having run a boarding house on Cowley Run. Hinisters Swindled by a Woman. A clever swindling game was suc cessfully prepetrated in Bradford dur ing the past few days by an unknown woman, who called on the ministers and other charitable inclined people and solicited money from them by tell ing a smooth hardluek story. To each she gave a different name, but her story, in the main, was the same. She claimed to be a stranger in the city and named various town as her former place of residence. She said that she had five small children and a husband; that their home had been destroyed by fire and that she had moved to that city greatly in need of furniture. She asked for §2 with which to buy a stove and promised that she would return the money as soon as her husband drew his ffrst month's wages. Bailey-Kepner.

Probably two waeks ago lie was seen on the streets of our town, apparently in his usual health though infirm, from his nearly 88 years of life. He was confined to his bed for not more than ten days and was in full possession of his mental ' faculties to the very last. He was con-' scious that the end was near, but ex-! pressed his readiness togo and spoke ' words of comfort to the members of ! the family gathered about him. For a number of years lie affiliated the with Methodist Episcopal Church. He enjoyed the esteem of an entensive circle of friends by whom he will be j greatly missed. Mr. Housler was born in Freehold, | Monmouth County, N. J., but removed I tD this section about fifty years ago, I where he has since resided. He is sur- j vived by one brother, Joseph Housler, of Lock Haven, 89 years of ago, who was with him when he died; was the father of eight children five of whom are living, Mrs. Win. Cramer of town, Mrs. Ella Swartwood, Mrs. . illman Chadwick, George E. Ilousler and S. D. Ilousler. Funeral services were held in the Rich Valley church, Tuesday at three o'clock and were numerously attended They were in charge of the Rev. C. G. Wagoner, who had visited him during his last illness and who paid fitting tribute to his memory. The Rev. O. Metzler assited in the services. A male quartette composed of H. C. Olmsted, Charles H. Felt, I. K. Hock ley and George Metzger, Jr., rendered appropriate singing. The Star Course. The following list of attractions will comprise the Peoples' Star Course the coming season.

Avis, the five year old daughter of R. C. Dodson who was playing with a furl off of a small hose, slipped it on one j of her fingers, which caused consider able commotion before the same was extricated. The little girl does not want another such experience soon. Do You Believe In It? Those who believe the old supersti tion that if it rains on St. Swithin's day, which fell this year on Tuesday, July 15th, it will rain forty days thereafter, will have their belief strengthened this year. It rained on that day, and it has rained every day since. Smallpox in Lock Haven. Lock Haven has developed a case of smallpox. Lizzie Reed the unfortunate victim was undergoing treatment in the hospital, when the rash which is a sure indication of the disease made its | appearance. She has been isolated and no future spread of the contagion is feared. Creditors Met Last Saturday. At a meeting of the creditors of the Mankey Mfg. Co., last Saturday, Mr. Josiah Howard's appointment as assignee was confirmed. Mr. Howard will make all collections outstanding and hopes to close the business as speedily as possible. Charles E. Crandell was also appointed general manager of the above business. Will Interest Mail Clerks.

Send all communications of the above to J. M. English, Driftwood, Pa. Other papers please copy. Driftwood, Pa., July 21st, 1002. Newspaper Laws. The following rules are laid down by the Government for the protection of newspapers: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to continue their subscrip tion. If subscribers order the discontinu ance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. If subscribers move to other places without informing publishers, and pa pers are sent to the former direction, they aro held responsible. The courts have decided that refus ing to take periodicals from the ollice before removing, and leaving them un called for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the pub lisher at the end of that time, if they do not wish to continue taking it; otherwise tin- publisher is authorized to I send it on, and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with payment of all arrears, is sent to t he publisher. It is a dangerous trick for a man to i allow his subscription account to run on from year to year unpaid, and then i tell the postmaster to mark "refused " ' or to send I lie editor a notice to discon tinue tin paper.

It is the second case of the kind on record. The famous Repasz band of Williams port has been engaged by the Bradford firemen for the State Convention in in October. The Oak Grove land associatian will begin in a few days the erection of twenty-five houses, with all modern improvements. The Kane band is making big prepa rations to attend the Firemen's conven tion at St. Marys in August and have j ordered new uniforms for the occasion. During a thunderstorm at Farmers Valley on Monday, July, 14 a herd of eighteen fine brpd cows belonging to 1 D. C. Young, of Smet.hport were killed by lightning. Class No. 9 of the Presbyterian Sun day School will serve ice cream, cake and coffee on the lawn of Miss H. L. Raymond Saturday evening, July 28. Come everybody. Our Presbyterian friends are matur ing plans for the improvement of their Church property. To what an extern these will be carried, has not been dis- | closed, but they will no doubt be tlior- j ugh. The Jchurehes of Emporium are properly a matter of municipal pride i It is conceded that this is the greatest | huckleberry season in years. Owing to j the strike in the coal regions thousands | of men, women and children turn out j to pick the fruit and it is estimated that between 16 and IS tons are shipped daily to New York from Mahanoy City, Girardsville and surrounding stations. The pickers are paid six cents per quart. A Kentucky paper has this item: John Filson, a farmer, living seven miles south of Eminence, is the proud father of 41 little chickens, but much of the credit for the result is due to his wife. Filson has been ill with fever, so she decided to utilize him as an incubator. She borrowed the eggs and placed them about his body. Only four failed to produce chickens. The new battleship Maine is evidently a wonder. She has already broken all records for heavy war-craft of her class. On the trial trip the other day, she made a maximum speed of 19.95 knots, the contract calling for 18 knots. The Maine is a magnificent ship in every respect, and will be the best monument that could be built to the brave men who lost their lives by the destruction of her ill-fated predecessor in Havana harbor. Neatness, says an exchange, is a good thing for a girl, and if she does not learn it when she is young she never will It. takes a great deal more neatness to make a girl look well than it does to make a boy look passable. Not because a boy, to start with, is better looking than a girl but his clothes are of a different sort, not so many colors in them, and people do not except a boy to look so pretty as a girl. A girl that is not neatly dressed is called a sloven, and no one likes to look at her, Judge Simonton, of the Dauphin county court, has rendered two opin ions which are of importance to every county in the state. In interpreting the act of 189-5, under which the state rebuilds county bridges destroyed by fire or floods, Judge Simonton declares that the state cannot be required to erect bridges over streams that are not navig.able or on streams above the point where they eease to be navigable. He also declares that where the dam age to a bridge consists merely in in jury to the approaches thereto the state cannot be requried to build such bridge The latest labor saving invention is a brick laying machine; the invention of a Canadian: "The machine workod by two men and a lad, will lay 400 to 600 bricks per hour. Door and window spaces cause only a slight delay. The machine is suited for all plain work, such as walls, sheds, factories, mills, rows of cottages, piers of bridges, etc. Considerable pressure is put on the brick, and it is claimed that the work is more firmly done than by hand. The invention will do the work of six or seven skilled bricklayers, and it is be lieved that a machine adapted to build a factory about 00x40 feet could bo put on the mark t for SSOO. The apparatus can be readily worked after a fort night's instruction. TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE. WEATHER REPORT. (Forecast by T. B. Lloyd.) FRIDAY, Fair. SATURDAY, Fair. SUNDAY, Fair. Predicted Garfield's Assassination.. In the spring of 1882 the writer of thir met a man, whom wo shall call Mr. I). who had a tale to tell which if not tru* was certainly quite interesting. He wai a man of culture and address, but wat what might be termed an auli-Masonic crank. In June 1880 he was spending a (e® hours at Niagara Falls. Among tb< crowds were many politicians just returE ing from the Republican national conven tion. His attention was drawn in par ticular to two men of distinguished ap pearanee, and getting into conversation with them learned that they were the nominees for President and Vice-Presi dent. 'Jen. Garfield began to speak of the policies he expected to carry out if elected President, especially with regard to the reform of the civil service. "May I ask, General," said Mr. D., "if you are a IreeMason? "lam," Garfielc replied. "Then permit me to say that if you at tempt to carry out this policy which you have outlined, you will be assassinated." "Why so?" "Because you are bound by the oath of your order not to turn down any of your brother Masons. If you do so you will meet with trouble." Mr. D. then proceeded to advise Gar lield to renounce Freemasonry. Mr. Arthur broke in saying, "General Gar field is not the man to do that." As they parted Mr. D. reiterated h» warning and advice. According to Mr. D., Guiteau was a Freemason, and his crime was committed in revange for what Guiteau regarded af. ungrate!ul and disloyal treatment irom a brother Mason. When the shooting oc curred, .Secretary Blaine,who was with th»: Pre.-ident. sprang towards the assassin but stopped suddenly when the latter made a mysterious sign. "Although Guiteau has been sentenced," said Mr. D., "mart my words, he will never be executed The Masons will save him." The writer had been brought up to entertain a holy dread of Freemasonry, and this story at the time intensified this feeling. But in many years acquaintance with members of the Masonic order he has never been able to come upon tht traces of anything worse than an oc casional conspiracy to give an effectual and quiet lift to a deserving man whee he is down. A Warning to Young nen. Many young men in Emporium, as well as elsewhere, may read with profit an editorial in the Philadelphia Times for July 22nd, entitled "A Drama o? Sin." The text of it is the ditsgraceful careers of the Yohe woman and younj Strong. "It is not true that in a guilty liaison the man escapes unblamed and the woman only suffers. The man does not escape. He may be sure hip sin will follow him, will entangle him will drag him down, even below th« woman's level. Men will goon sinning in this way, or pursuing pleasure, a* they choose to call it but they need nol expect, when they throw away honor, to avoid ruin and disgrace." Post Mortem Praise, A minister in the West preached a. brief but beautiful funeral sermon the other day. Here it is: A word to yoiv all. Post mortem praises and love are in the air. People kiss their dead but never stop to kiss their living; the? hover over open caskets in hysteric sobs, but fail to throw their arms around their loved ones who are fight ing the stern battles of life. A word of cheer to a struggling soul in life iir worth more than the roses of Christen dom piled high on a casket cover. The dead cannot smell flowers but the livinp can; scatter them broadcast in their pathway therefore, and pluck out the thorns before it is too late. Remarkable C** M. Blodget, of Slnnamah'oning, wa» in town last Monday and made us a short, pleasant call, and tells this of & remarkable cow owned by his father He said the cow had a peculiar fond ness for apples and that on one occ* sion, after she had gotten into a neigh bor's orchard and eaten all the appto she wanted, his mother milked her ohurnod the milk and got three quarU of good npplo butter. On another oc casion the cow ate off the tail of a rooster that roosted in the stall with her, and the next morning, in place of giving milk, sho gave a gallon and a half of the finest kind of cocktail.
