and until the festival week is ushered in
there is abundant reason to expect the
number will lie increased. The eminent
reputation of I)r. Perkins a* an instructor
and com|>oed pissesses an attractive fea
ture that will surely create a desire in our
local talent to plrae themselve* under
hi* valuable suggestion* derived from a
wide and varied experience. Be*ide* the

gives promise of a genial lime in the hos
pitable farnilie* of Centre Hall.

the county loses a large amount of money
annually. Persons movo out of the dis

then the colli* t-.rs r<>mc in and a*k for

We hope therefore by the time we are
called upw>n to settle the accounts another
time, no taxes further back than IKh ; will
be found out-*tanditig
The auditor* heartily join in recom
mending that hereafter arcounts which
• annot Im cid'ectcil he stricken from the
list of assets of the county Their is
neither use nor sense in carrying forward,
from year l<> year, account# that are en
lirelv worthless. .
We understand that there are duplicate*
outstanding a# far back a* 1872, given out
to men wbo were worthlos* and without
security being taken. If such is the case
they should bo set out as uncollectabie,
and tho people given to know exactly
what the available asset* of the county are
The auditors suggest that the commis
sioners keep their books In a more simple
manner. The difficulty of which we com
plain seem* Us arise through a multiplicity
of books, and a lack of system in properly
classifying entries or subject* in tbem. A
little more care in thi* direction will be
profitable, save time and and the
account* will be more readily understood.
s-Thi* evening the Ladies Mite Society
of tho I'riwbylerian church will give the
oyster supper of the season, at Bands' Ice
cream parlors. Nothing will ho wanting
that can add to the attractiveness of the

eatable* to be furnihed will render it an
occasion of rare pleasure. In addition to
the "season of sapping" proper, Ice cream
and cake, at usual prleoe, will be supplied,
every thing strictly first ela* and well
worthy the patronage of all. Ticket* 60
