The Question Belong Carefully Considered By the Taxpayers. The question of the county poor house to be voted upon at the coming election in February, is receiving care- ful consideration from the taxpayer and voter whose interests it will affect in having the question carry. The prevailing sentiment does not seem to be in favor of the poor house, and those familiar with sentiment of the various districts in the county, say it will be snowed under with a sure and safe majority. On the other side of the county where the question will be strongly supported, there *are several townships where the taxes levied for charitable purposes are very light and they will not take to the idea of hav- ing it increased. Across the moun- tain in Spring township, the poor tax | is very heavy, and the overseers have many dependents, and along Bellefonte, Philipsburg and Snow vote in its favor. mimi lipemic A Sleighride with Extras, , Frank Bowersox of Rock Springs, who will undertake to do any thing, a sleigh, week before last, short distance all went O.
