Tho township election passed off very quietly. Tho following s llio lesult: II. 1'. Levnii was elected constable without uny opposition. Frank Laury was elected Jmlgo of Election; Itobcrt Anthony Jr., Inspector; John Schwab and Cornelius llehrig were elected Sujiorvioors, nnd Overseers of tho Poor; Henry Miller nnd W. C. Weiss School Directors, J. IC. Itickcrt Assessor, lllwnrd Ilabcrand Daniel Krum Assistant Assessors aud Dan. F. lliekeit Auditor. Marks Moyer.a former resident of this borough, nnd now of Cumberland, Md., was in town during tho week. Lewis Horn, Sr., of East Weissport, ended life's career early Sunday morning, nftor n protracted illness of consumption. His funeral was largely attended Wednes day afternoon. I'art of tha rolling mill was In running order during tho forepart of tho week, aim the puddlers turned out sovcral heals, but wero compelled to stop on account of the boilers being leaky. The samo will bo fixed as soon as ixasible, nnd work will theu bo gin in good earnest. C. II. MaoDaniel having secured a posi tion in the rolling mill was not a candidate for re-election to tho ofiico of constable, and in cunsequence thereof Samuel Welsh was chosen without any bciiuus opposition. Tho borough election was by no means n hotly contested one if nothing bo said of tho Assessorship. For tho election to that of fice there was quito n fisht between John G. Biery and Henry Buyer.which unexpect edly resulted in the election of tho former, by n plurality of two votes over Ilia formi dable antagonist. By shaking of Boycr as the formidable one, it is to bo understood that tlicro were thrco aspirants for tho much coveted office, tho ttiird being Wm. Miner, who, strange to say, met with crushing de feat. Biery certainly did well iu defeating so old a political war horso as 'Squire Boyer, and people of liiireretit opinions will readily acquiesce In the certainly that his luturo us u politician is destined to olteu wear thu laurels of filial Vioioiy. lio labored untir ingly, fought desperately and was not cowed down even though what seemed inevitable defeat stared him iu tho faeo. His career, which us yet is simply tho mapping out of what seems to bo tho only way by which men may reach tho apex of political aspira tious, is well defined uud worthy of imita tion by all infants or slartcrs-out in politicj. His success shows that obstacles which pre sent au invincible frunt may bo conquered by enthusiasm, in times of unseen desdond ency aud forlorn hopo, and a forciblo power to do. Incl ud ing Iho Assessorship and the office of Constable, at tho election this week the following ticket was elected: Joseph Conner, Judge ol Klctionsj Eugcno Everrit Al.Guth nnd John Arner, jr., School Directors; II.

All men wish to buy right ond pay tho net value for what they get. But any man of Ecnso would not pay twice, ns much for an nrtlclons it is woitli. There aro somo who will buy bogus jewelry und pay twice llio prico of n good uiticlc. When tho agent of tho U. B. Mutual Aid Co Operative Life lusurauco Co., of Lebanon, Fa., publishes that his company has paid the enormous ex travagant amouut of $1,051,209.25 In death losses in ten years, which is thrco times as much loss as any company should havo iu tlio amount of membership, when careful in taking risks. Tho great amount of money ho speaks of ns n surplus fdud, is gaiuod hy its members wying more than they ought to pay from year to year. All sano men, having any knowledge of insurance, have made up their minds that where they get value for their money, that is the place to make investments ; not in a company that on an average they havo to pay 20 assess ments a ycarmd in the year 1878 that com pany, according to the Insurance Commis sioners' lleport of Fenna., for that year they reslstod $21,000 of death, claims which Is the last report given out by that Co. Iatclliqcnt men prefer to insure In n, company that charges tho exact cost ot their Insurance from year to year, which they know they can wy from year to year, and which wilt al low them to live as well us tho company; and that pays all its death claims promptly, as they occur, viz : on lite day they fall due. which is nino'y days after satisfactory proof is given of death. Such a company is the .Yew Era Life Association, of 1870, of Phila delphia. The system it does its business up on is strictly mutual. It charges ono mem ber no more than another at tho tame age when joining. It is careful in taking risks. If the New Era takes your money and you die, they will pay your legal hoirs what they agree to In tho cerlifioato of membership. For an example i tako a member aged il years, his assessment is $1.20 per $1,000 for one h ono thousand dollars or a loss, when tha company has $1,000, 000 or under of risks, at $2,000,000 of risks hi j assessment reduoes to CO els, er $1,000, $1,000,000 to 40 cU, $1,000,000 to 30 cts, and $I0,iiu,uuu, is uls per 1,1)00, which is the based of tho company. The bases of $1,000,. 000 Is the bases of $10,000,000, it oots lis members no more to pay $120,000 of a loss when it has $10,000,000 of risks, than it does to pay $12,000 of a loss when it has $1,000, 000 of risks, thus showing this system far suerior to any class system, because each member helps one another. Tho New Era ha to-day $2,000,000 of risks which reduces the assessment ono-half, thus showing as its membership increases the amouut of assess ment deomase.

Ifulmaii held a membership In tho Home Mutual, of Lebanon, for $1000, which cost iu two' yea rs, $02.03, which claim lias been paid. Mr. John B. Halmnu was a member of tbo JJ. J. Mutual Aul Uocicli of Lebanon, for $1000, wjilch cost htm iu two years bo tween $00 and $70. This shows tho New Era the cheapest oorqpany, for it cost him In. tho New Era about one-half ns much in three years, for $2000, as it did In the other two companies fur $1000 each. A word to heads of families; just think, had Mr. Hnl man dono liko n great many of you do, ho could not have left his family tho $2000 whirh tlio New Era paid them. Now, every man can ,'ccuro n policy of $1000 nnd then bis family Is protected, and if your death comes suddenly nnd your family should not be prepared b meet the expenses which oc cur nt that time, Iho Kcw Era will pay down to Iho proper heirs a tuiScicnl amount lo cover all iuncml cxpcnccs ns soon as satis factory proof is given of your death. Juet think, for tho small sum of $10 you can sc euro a certificnto of membership iu tho Now Era. Every man nnd woman ought to so euro a membership right off.
