fault will bo contrary to tho usual good
common sense exhibited by your most
worthy body In carrying out Improvements

therefore, first begging your pardon if 1
assume to be presumptive, to suggest that
the gutters he Included In the Improvuieut

hesitate before doing this, nevertheless, I
hm quite sure, from my knowledge of the
conservatism and horse sense of your es
teemed body, that It will be done. In fact,
If you don't do it, it may be unpleasantly
forced upon you, and there Is no work well
done when it Is unpleasant. Many people
are kicking and growling, ard I am pleased
that you pay no attention to them, it shows
fully that you have that confidence In your
august body necessary to carry out any
project in view, as for instance the trimming
of the trees In the Park last sprm; and the
filling up of Bankway with slate rock,
You haye passed through those trying per
iods and come out on top. Why should
you not In tho gutter business? Possibly
because you are wrong, but the humidity
Is too great and I close, begging to sign
myself, Your humble servant,

should' be given proper consideration by
the councllmanlc body. As a first and
primary result It would make considerable
return to tbe borough exchoquor in the
way of license fees, secondly It would afford
our town merchants who annually pay a
mercantile tax, proper protection, and
thirdly he a convenience to the purchasing
public. Mauch Chunk, Lansford and
other towns havo their market houses and
Impose a tax on all venders or hucksters
and derive considerable beqeiit in a pecuni
ary way from this system. There Is noth
ing unjust or Inequitable about it, our
meichants pay an annual tax, why should
not hucksters or peddlers? Let our council
give this matter close aud oareful atten
tion, the business public want it, and prac
tical considerations calls for It, and while a
hose house is about to be built tho neces
sary accessories for a first class market
could ho added with very little expense.
A SIiiRiilar MUhi.
A peculiar aud unpleasant experience
befell Mrs. Day, of this town, on last Sat
urday evening. She was enjoying herself
along with several friends when eho accl
dently swallowed tho vomer tho partition
bone of tho nose which had become
loosened by suppcratlyo necrosis ozena, or
better known as catarrh from which she
hail long been afflicted. The bone, which
measured one Inch by 5-8 lodged In lho
gullet and caused the most intense pain
and distress. Dr. W. G. M. Sclplo was
called on late the same night and relieved
the woman of the objectionable and pain
ful object. The case has no similar par.
aleli perhaps, and is according the subject
of much comment among the leading phy
sicians.
Another Old Ileshlent Culled Hence.
After stven weeks of Illness, during
which period she could take of no food
whatever, Jlfrs. Levi Weiss, died on Sun
day evening at the advanced age of seventy
years. For many years deceased lived
alone in a one story and a half frame dwel
ling In tho alley running between South
and Iron streets where, during her long
Illness many friends kept her company.
By faith she was of the Reformed denoml
nation from which church she was burled
on Wednosday morning.
Third 1'lin-e Afier All.
After all Lehlghton stands third In Car
bon county towns. Mauch Chunk leads
with 4400; Lansford second with 4012;
Lehlghton next with 2000; followed by
H'eatherly with 2030. It is only a differ
ence of sixty lives and yet it gives Lehlgh
ton the prestago of third plane. The only
way to keep there, however, is by a little
more genulno enterprise and lees kicking
growling and wrangling among the people
Wo have a clear case of it on hand now,
and the pernicious results bound to follow
will elucidate clearly the evil of It.

of particularly discussing the consltutlonal
difficulty frequently raised, under the Conr
slitution of Pennsylvania, requiring all bal
lots to be numbcicd.
Tho article, when It appears, will no
doubt best speak for Itself. Mr. Rapsher,
we are informed, has also been engaged for
several weeks upon an article analyzing
tae three factors of production, "Land.
Labor and Capital," Wo hope Mr. Rap
sher will stick to his tasks and complete
his articles at an early day, and let politics

preciate him more for it, than if he would
frantically run about butlon-holelng and
begging for delegates, to make his Sena

may he safely trusted to find the ablest
