I'nder the Act of Assembly known as the Royer bill, approved June 8th, 1SS1, the tax rate on money at Interest, notes, bond, mortgages, etc., is changed from three mills, which was the rate under the Act of ISS'.i, to four mills. And It further provides that three-fourths, or three mills, instead of one-third, or one-mill, of the personal property tas shall lie returned to the re spective counties for their own use. This section takes effect January 1st, 18'.2. Persons desiring to have their votes cast at the coming election should have a care to see that they are registered la-fore September. Under the new registry law the duties of the assessors have been com pleted and any one not upon the list at the time will have their names placed there only by personal application to the assess or. Under the old law the committeemen looked after the matter, but 'that is all changed now, since he Is not considered a competent voucher. Judge White, of Indiana county, has recently ruled as follows: That persons having sheep killed by dogs must bo paid out of the dog tax for that year; that no loss can be paid out by the School Hoard until the end of the school year, and in case there Is not a suflicient amouut in the dog fund to pay all claims in full, then tho claims shall be paid pro rato; that secreta ries of School Hoards shall keep tin: dog funds separate from the school fund, and what is left at the end of the year to be turned over to the general school fund.

Mr. Isaac L. Yodor has killed on his farm, within a month, four large blacksaakrs. and Mr. L. I). Yoder, on the the adjoining farm. In tho same time, has killed five copperheads, four blacksnakes J and several hotise-snakes. Other farmers are similarly afflicted. Some of these , snaKOM were five or six feet in length. The blacksnako is a coward aud runs away from dogs or people, but the copperhead turns and fights fiercely. Pittsburg Chronicle Telajraph, July 22: One hundred and forty thousand miles without any repairs. That is tho record of locomotive No. 1,3'J3 of the Pennsylvania railroad. Last week tho runs were changed, but for almost a year previous the big locomotive made the round trips to A 1 toon a from Pittsburg every twenty-four hours. The. distance is 117 miles. No. 1,393 therefore made 4fi3 miles a day. Dur ing tho time the locomotive was never in the shops, and to-day it is apparently as serviceable as ever. Locomotive No. S7 also made a great run one day last week: II took trai Xo- 20 to Altoona, brought 1 I n . t ..... 1 . . . r back No 2, took out first No. 10 to A 1 toon a and returned with No. 21. The Johnstown Herald of Saturday says: "George Sowder, a young man w hose home is in Lancaster, mot his death in a horrible manner about 5:4. o'clock this morning. On last Thursday young Sowder, who is about 22 years of age and had been clerking in a store In Lancaster, left his home in that place and, in com pany with a friend named George Unger, started to go to Pittsburg. About the time mentioned Sowder and Unger were walking toward this city, between East Conemaugh and No. C bridge, when a freight came along on the north track. Neither noticed the approach of seashoro express until it was upon them. Sowder n-eivcd a terrible blow from the pilot, and when the train was stopped and he was picked up by the hands, life was extinct." On Sunday there was an excursion from Johustowm to Cumberland over tho P. A. O. railroad. Ou the return trip an accident occurred in the vicinity of Rock wod, in which two men lost their lives anJ another was badly Injured. Wnen near that place a row was kicked up by some parties who were standing on the platform.s of the crowded cars when James Kelly, a polic officer, of Johnstow n, inter fered and drew- a revolver. At this junc ture the conductor of the. train pulled the bell rox; for the purjiose of stopping the train. When the engineers applied theair j wanes there was a sudden slacking up when a coupling broke the cars started and officer Kelly, of Johnstow u, Lucas, T. Myers, of La t robe, aud Miltou Pile. f Somerset, were thrown from the platforms, the two former falling under the wheels and were killed while the latter fell to one side and was severely Injured. Th nn-' fortunate accident cast a gloom over the excursionists who had started out In the morning lnt on having a pleasant time. ' tai - xj;:: A little seven-year-old daughter, of II. C. I'rlck, the millionaire coal and coke king of Pittsburg, died at the Carnegf e cottage, at Cresson, on Wednesday. The child's death is Mipposod to have --n caused by swallowing a pin tour years ago. At the time the child suffered no annoy ance, and It was not until the winter of IS.-fJ that any trouble resulted. She fre quently complained ofa pain in her side, and filially an abcess formed. The pin came out, having been nearly two years in her body. Since that time the child has been an almost constant sufferer. The best medical skill in the country w as con sulted, but despite every effort her decline was gradual. The family took her to Cresson with the hoje that the invigor ating mountain air might work a chaugo In her condition, but It proved unavailing. The erection of marble Is the last work of respect to the memory of doportti! friends, and is a custom which has liecu followed from the earliest ag" of an tiquity. Formany years J. Wilkirrson & Son have Ix-on in the marble business lu Ebenshurg and through their energy and hone rable dealings, they have built for themselves a reputation for doing their work in a most artistic manner. Their work is an ornament to the town as well as a credit to themselAes. We are girlng them no more notoriety than they deserve, and to prove our assertion, go to their establishment and see for yourself. They take pleasure in showing their work, whether you wish to purchase or not. They have on exhibition at their works two car-loads of monuments and head stones, and in April and May will receive two car-loads more. They will then have a large assortment of the latest styles for customers to select from. They have arrangements made with w holesale gran ite dealers so that they can fill all orders for granite monuments and headstones in a short time and as cheap as can lie done anywhere. They buy their stock in such large quantities that they defy competi tion. They also have the agency for the Champion Iron Company and are prepared to furnish all kinds of fencing or anything in Iron.

After remaining in Spokane Kails six we ks. I left for Oregon and took with me, in addition to my trunk and grip sack, the genus of typhoid fever in my system. The details of my subsM-quent prostration and misery I neetf not note. It is enough to say tiiat had I foresi-eii the trying ordeal pending iu the event of my coining west, the trip would never have leen made. Put I can truly say now and I have been waitingnntil 1 could say ille fore writing that having come through it safely, with -family all here, health re stored, strength increasing, ami the hoxt of overcoming financial reverses encour aging, I have no regrets toexpress for hav ing come, except that attending the ab sence of familiar faces ami pleasant asso ciations of old lime friends. Our friends in your town aud -comity possess a sterling worth that we cherish" with an undying fervor. As I am w riting to a numlxT of sincere friends 1 cannot sx-ak the full sentiments of our hearts without expressing our grat itude for and appreciation of the sym pathy, kindness, contidence and aid' so freely extended during the period of our sore trial. These are cherished memories of Cambria county friends t fiat no time can efface or distance dim. Iu this connection 1 feel impelled to allude to the fottitude and devotion of her, whose opportune ar rival was life to me. and whose re-arrival w as the occasion of a family reunion, the joy of which made all past trials but steps to present pleasure and added new vigor to life and hope. I cannot attempt in this letter a de scription of all the West I bate s-eu w it.lt out asking too much space of ye kind hearted editor; so will confine myself to some general remarks mostly about the city in which we live. Portland is the leading city in the North west, notwithstanding the loud claims of Spokane. Seattle and Tacoma. This side of C hicago it has no superior except San Francisco, nor no rival in trade, business, wealth and natural advantages north of the ("olden Gate. As a shipping point it combines all the advantages of a seaport city and an inland metropolis. It is one hundred miles from the ocean by water, but all sea-going vessels can reach Its wharves by the way of the Columbia river eighty-eight miles, then up the W illamette twelve miles to its location, on both, sides of the river. At Portland the depth of the Willamette is sixty feet and has an average depth fromxjiere to its mouth of fortv feet, and is half a mile wide. Since the 15th of last mouth the population of this city has been 80.000. For beauty of environment Portland is unsurpassed. The evergreen forest that skirts the tow n along the higher ground to the west and creeps to the river's brink at cither end of the city, forms a pleasant back ground, and which, with the green laiulscapo, makes a panorama that blends in the urban picture with wonderful charm. Portland is located at the foot of the far famed and fertile Willamette Valley which is I2."i miles long and "5 wide, Iiordered on the east hy this picturesque Cascade range, dotted with its snow-capped leaks in full and chariu-iuspiring view all the year round. Ou the west the Coast mountains separate it from the ocean aud check the velocity of the sea breezes, which make a gentle and soothing zephyr in the Valley. It is truly a land of evergreens, cereals, fruits and flowers. The climate is equable, the summer days delightful, the resources of the couiftry practically unlimited, al though an unknown quantity, tieyond com putation. Yet it is not an unqualified par adise. Portland occupies in many respects the same relation to Oregon as New York to the Empire state, or Cincinnati to Ohio. It especially holds this relation In journal ism. If agreeable, I would be glad to answer any questions I can through your columns that your readers may propound. Respectfully, A. R. Rkad. The Prohibition Coayentlon.
