Of affairs is not ty. a credit to Centre -— Tue road bill, introduced at Harris burg has ben changed and amended often that the only distinguishing fea ture in it is that road tax must be paid in cash and all work done to be paid in the same manner. It does not seem to meet with universal favor in this coun ty. 0 - WiiLe the commissioners are having repairs made about the jail they might just as well complete the improvements by having new locks placed on all the cells and a good combination lock on the main door. The jail should be properly repaired and made secure even, if it does entail a bit of expense. - - - A vouxo Greek with a record has arrived in this country in search of work. Four years ago he inherited $2. | 000,000, which he put into circulation at the rate of $500,000 per year. He is now a waiter ina New York second rate restaurant, and is as susceptible to atipasa man who never knew what it is to be a thoroughbred fool. A GREAT deal has heen said about the conduct of those in charge of the fu- neral train of the late Senator Hearst and according to Mrs. Gougar, the noted temperance advocate of Indiana, the adverse comments have not been un- just. Mrs, Gougar wus one of the pas. sengers on an excursion train which fol. lowed the Hearst party for five days, and she declares that such disgraceful proceeding son the part of men high in the government service she has never seen, She says: “They were opening bottles every minute night and day, and at many stopping places invited people into the baggage car to drink. If this be true the men entrusted with the re- mains of the dead senator deserve criti. ¢ism of the severest kind, They have certainly been disrespectful to a marked degree, Where to Ge, Moving time and house cleaning sea. son will be here and you may be in need of rome new furniture.

All the wages of the protected workingmen in this country for three years would not cover the expenditures ; neither would all the wages paid in 1.990 woolen mills for forty years, nor thuse paid in the glass industries for 110 years. The total corn erop for 1860 would only pay two-thirds of the stupendous sum, and the wheat | erop for the same year wouldn't pay one. third of it, No wonder Reed has made his escape to Fuope.

The last Republican Congress, in time of peace, has expended over one thousand millions and added a thousand millions more 10 the ordinary expenditures of the future.
