The Soldiers' Monument being erected in
Juniata county is expected to be ready for
dedication by the 4th of July.
Alloys would not be ns plenty in
this borough if persons would use more
care in regard to what they throw in them.
There is a law against throwing garbage in
the streets or alleys, which ought to bo en
forced. An Election has been ordered by the bor
ough authorities, of Mifflntown, to take
place next Saturday, to see whether burials
shall or shall not bo permitted within bor

The Commissioners of Centre county of
fered a prize of ten dollars to the collector
who would be first to settle up his dupli
cate for the year 1809. The premium was
taken by Joseph K. Weaver, of Miles twp.
Uur Commissioners might copy after
them, with profit to the treasury.
Dr. Sclioeppe's case was argued beforo
the Supreme Court at Ilarrisburg on
Thursday and Friday last. His counsel
claimed that the case should be placed un
der the law of 1870, which was opposed by
the counsel for the commonwealth. The
decision ot the court has not yet been ren
dered. Accident. On Tuesdav last a. Ran nf Mp
Jacbb Mogel of centre twp., a lad aged
about ten years, fell from the hay mow
striking his head on the hub of a wagon
and cutting a terrible gash on the corner of
his forehead. Fortnately no bones wcro
fractured and tiie boy is getting along as
well as could be expected.
The Railroad subject is now agitating
the citizens of York county, a portion of
whom are desirous of furnishing the north
ern section with this modern facility for
travel. A meeting on the subject was held
at Dillsburg last week. Every section of
of the State seems to realize the import
ance of railro ads, except Perry county.
How long before our citizens will awake to
it sense of their duty in this matter?
Our Prospects. It will bo gratifying to
our trmnds to know that we continue to
prosper, and that such is the case, hi plainly
evident from the fact that increase of
business has compelled us to enlarge our
Office. We have accordingly built a substan
tial addition to tlio rear of our present build
ing, to bo used especially for a press and
mailing room,
Wo now havo as convenient and well
dtocked an office as can bo found in tho in
terior of tho State, and can satisfactorily
execute any orders for priuting which our
friends may see fit to entrust us with.
When we take into consideration tho fact
that our large subscription and advertising
patronage is entirely independent of party
or political support, npon which so many
country papers entirely depend, wo think
wo have reason to feel gratified with our
Kuccess.
Sewing Machines owned and kept for use
in any family, aro now exempt from salejon
execution for debt. The law of 1869 ap
plied only to seamstresses, but an act pass,
ed last March extends tho provisions of tho
act to. all private families, Poraons who do
not already own one should examine the
Parbajn and then purchase one. Bee their
advertisement on the 8th page.

present,
Plebiscite. "A subscriber" wants us to
tell him the meaning of this word which he
says he does not understand, and lias seen
so often used. Plebiscite is tho term used
by tho French, to express "the verdict of
the nation on a political question." The
word is borrowed from the Latin, and was
used by tho Romans to distinguish laws
passed by the Plebs. or commons in distinc
tion li-om laws passed by the Nobles.
For The Bloomfield Timet.
NEwroKT, May 20. 1870.
JVMortimer, Esq.,
jf Dear Sir I fear the recent artinln in
your paper headed " Outrage and Lynch
Law, is calculated to create the impres
sion mai uie peopio oi .Newport approve of
Lynch law. It is true that a negro boy
was enticed from his work to a tavern,
where 2 men constituted themselves a jury,
anu wiuiouc even caning a witness beforo
them, had the boy stripped and beaten ; but
it is not true that the boy admitted having
been guilty of any outrage upon the girl.
He stoutly denied it and alleges that on
the night they charge that he committed
the crime, men, women and little girls were
drinking liquor, and at the request of the
mother, he carried the child to bed and re
mained at the bed-side until relieved by its
older sister, as tho child was sick and vom
iting. There was no charge made until
next day, and I cannot learn that even the
jurors claim that there was any mark upon
the child.
The peopio in Newport condemn the bru
tal conduct of tho men who wish to revive
that relic of barbarism, the whipping-post.
They desire the law administered, and all
criminals punished, but they wish it done
by an upright judge and sober jurors.
They also condemn the . course of the men
who excited by whiskey, advised that the
boy be hung.
The fact that tho negro remains in town
and the parents of the girl don't have him
arrested the report that ho has been ar
rested not being true should convince any
unprejudiced mind that there is no ground
for tho charge against him.
Very truly yours.

Fananm Hats.
Tho process of making Panama hata
is as follows : Tho leaves of the Panda
mus or Seven pine from which theao hats
ore mado aro gathered before they un
fold, the ribs and coarser veins are re
moved, and the rest, without being separa
ted from tho base of tho leaf, is reduced
to shreds. After having beeu put in the
sun for a day and tied into a knot, the
straw is immersed in boiling water until
it becomes white. It is then hung up in
a shady place, and subsequently bleached
for two or three days, after which the
straw is ready for use. Tho 'plaiting of
the straw commences at tho crown and
finishes at the brim, and is a very trouble
some operation. The hats are made on a
block placed on the knees, and require
to be constantly pressed with tho breast.
The coarser hat may be finished in two
or three days, but the finest may require
as many months.
