D. 8. Andrus & Co., of William

of their merit. Semi them your orders
and u owill not be disappointed.
Mr. D. S. Luther sustained quite
a serious scalp wound while working
on the new Court House on Tuesday
of last week. A brick fell from a bod
striking Mr. Luther a glancing blow
as be was going down a ladder back
wards, laying the scalp open for about
three inches. The brick fell quite a
distance and had the brick struck a
square blow the result must have
been fatal. Mr. Luther is rapidly re
covering. Judge Julius Jones, of Benezette
township, Mas deprived of his vote at
the recent election. He was challen
ged for non-payment of tax and al
though he produced receipts showing
that he had paid more than $M0 of
county taxes within the two years ns
required by Jaw, the election judge
took the ground that he could not
vote because the tax was not assrsxal
within the two years. The decision
..I .J! . . . . . .
vi iiiu election junge in tins case is
outrageous and docs an act ofu-i 'oss in
justice to one of Elk county's best cit-
xens. However, nothing is impossible
with a judge ot election.
The election officers were onlv nl-
lowed $1.50 or nc day pay by's the
county commissioners this vcar -ex
cept in cases where they were actually
engaged until after midnight, which
cases were rare. An old law exists
making the pay of these officers $1.50
a day and making a days work fron
seveti in the morning until midnight
At best the pay is little enough but
when it conies to asking men to work
seventeen hours for $1.50 the absurdity
ot tne thing must be apparent to every
person.. In many counties in the
oww mis law uas ueeu annulled by
special acts, and there is no reason
why a new law should not be passed
41 .!... . . .
iixuig a reasonanie length of time for
a -day's work. We suggest to Messrs
Hall and Earley that at the next so
sion of the Legislature they have a bill
introduced makimr the uav of oler-timi
officers $2.00 a day. and whemthe vote
polled exceeds 200 to allow two days
pay. At the proper time we propose
to urge this matter. Also we hope to
seethe unjust law allowing assessors
nut H.oo a day supplemented by a law
...i.i..t. nt i . 1
which win at least not give a pre
mium on dishonesty.
The County Commissioners have
laid their trials this week with the
election judges. The law says that
the judge, inspectors and clerks of an
election shall have $1.50 per diem for
their services, (Act of July 2, 1830),
and it has been decided by the Com
missioners'Counsel that a day shall be
construed to mean from 7 o'clock in
the morning until midnight. Acting
on this advice the board of Commis
sioners have refused to pay election
boards more than $1.50 unless tbpv
were willing to swear that they were
actually engaged until midnight. The
result was that but few election offi
cers received more than $1.50 although
in Fox township, we are informed.
that the board worked until fifteen
minutes to midnight; sixteen minutes
more and two day's pay would have
been allowed by the Commissioners
In Fox 212 votes were cast. In Ridi?
O
way the board were through at about
xu o ciocK witu zoz or a poll, or course
it will easily be seen that had Fox
township cast the same number of
votes as itidgway tne counting would
have kept them until after the mystic
hour. The decision of the worthy
counsel is undoubtedly correct, but the
law that makes 17 hours a days work
should be expunged from our statute
books. As we said in the beginning
the Commissioners have had their
trials, as nearly all the judges received
the pay with a good deal of growling
at the board, even going so far as to
want them to go In direct conflict with
the decision we have quoted. The
Benezette township judge, the same
man who refused Judge Jones' vote,
did not take the pay at all.

Freaks of the Postmaster General.
From the Norrlstown Herald!
If you send a letter to John1 Smith.
130 Blank street, New York city," it
will be sent to the dead letter office in
Washington although Smith and his
residence may be known to every letter
carrier in the city. You must put on
the address "New York, N. Y.," ins
tead of "New York city." We hav
en't the Key to this apparent idiocy,
but it is supposed that some of the dis
tributing clerks in the New York post
office are strangers, and don't know in
which state New York city is located.
It Is a fortunate thing for the business
of 'the country that we don't have a
new postmaster general once a month.
as each que construes the postal laws
differently, and the last to tackle them
always gives the greatest dissatisfact
ion.
"Der Profit in der nubbles"
(From the Chicago Tribune.)
A German gentleman who keeps a
lager beer shop treated himself to a
day's vacation, leaving hi.s sou in
charge of "ter puzzaness and a keg of
beer. On his return lie found the keg
empty, and addressed his son as fol-
lows: "How is dis, Yawcob, that you
make me only one dollar and dirty
cents for dose keg of beer? Show me
how you drawes der beer." Yawcob
took the glass and drew it nearly full
of beer with but the least margin of
froth; when the gentleman seizing his
band, said: "You make dose glasses
stand higher down from the keg,
lawcoh; der profit in the beer piz
ine.-jsis in der pubbles."

tFrom our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. C, OCT. 31, 1879.
Our National Fair is the absorbing
subject with us and thousands of vis
itors are in attendanfe. The Fair
opened on Tuesday last w ith a grand
parade and procession of vehicles be
longing to the busincf men of the
District. Nearly every (inn sent one
or more and over 2,000 wagons, etc..
were in line nearly all lf which were
decorated with ilags, placards, and
wreaths of evergreens and flowers.
One brick firm had out In line all its
wagons, carts ami employes headed by
a brass band ; all bearing appropriate
devices of their indtisjry and mak
ing a most attractive; display. So
with other industrial interests. Even
old fogy, sleepy Georgetown sent out
a most creditable delegation of six
mule and horse wagons with lesser
named vehicles and isloni.shed us
bv the extent of her display. When
Georgetown can send a core or more
of business men into a jublio demon
stration with banners and with dec
orations, and a small army of em
ployees and animals yoir readers may
appreciate the general Making up and
shaking up of dry bons which this
fair has given the district and further
that we may now take rank with
otlicr cities In real process and im
provement. We have leen fond of
our streets but now we feel cause of
pride in our men for we lave live men
here as elsewhere. Tin real extent
of our industrial interest has never
been made so publicly ajparent as in
Tuesdays pageant and through, only
local, forwe have no eueral manu
facturing works here, S"c' it showed
an extensiveness of ojeration indica
tive only of a large population that
will not live in the unpainted, un
washed, antediluvian ni inner char
acterizing Washingtoii p'jor to the
war. At the head of our air are pro
gressive men. Young America who
are as keenly alive to tliq wants and
necessities of modern business as those
old fogies and we trust thti the day is
past in which old fogyisni shall rule
our District affairs.
Outside of fair matteite we have
little of general interest to note. The
hotels are not, as yet, fillilg up with
Congressmen or those wh4 come here
to spend the winter in Wtcndan ce
upon Congressional matter, and not
until all the full elections lye over and
votes counted will there bp any con
siderable addition to our political or
floating population. The near ap
proach of the finality of this fall's
political fight, of course, arouses the
usual spasmodic interest among all
persons interested and loth parties are
drumming up their adherents who
vote in New York ami Pennsylvania.
So great lias become the evil of purjury
in our courts thivugh professional
witnesses that our judges have taken
steps to prevent and punish. As an
Instance of summary proceedings in
this respect one Thompson, testified
in defence of John Brown, charged
with stealing a pair of shoes, that lie
had seen Brown wearing the shoes
two months prior to his arrest, a most
palpable perjury, was asked to remain
in the court ro.im and the matter was
laid before the grand jury who with
out delay returned an indictment. He
was immediately arrested and is now
in trial to await trial. We suppose
other cities are cursed with these pro
fessional strawbail witness scoundrels
but it does seem that Washington has
her full proportion of them for if we
may may credit the recent change of
Judge Hagner to thegrand jury of the
evil. Any unscrupulous attorney
would find little difficulty in suborn
ing any needed amount of witnesses.
With Mr- Hayesand all his Secretaries
at home from their peregrinations
among the people, the country we
presume, is safe. One hardly knows
when Congress is in session, how
much evil may be inflicted upon the
country, through pernicious legisla
tion in the course of a week and there
is more or less anxiety which takes
shape in wishes for adjournment
With the Executive here we should
have cause for a different feeling, even
though our lilliputian mentally we
mean Secretary of the Interior with
his civil service red tape humbuggery
may permit Indian Agents and their
families to be slaughtered and out
raged while he is taking his leisure
between Saturday night and Monday
morning.

Newspaper Laws.
1. A postmaster is required to give
notice Jy letter, (returning a paper
does not answer the law) when a sub
scriber does not take his paper out o
the office, ami stale the reasons for its
not being taken ; any neglect lo do so
makes the postmaster responsible to
the publisher for the payment.
2. Any person who 'takes a paper
from the postollice, whether directed
to his name or another, or whether he
has subscribed or not is responsible for
the pay.
3. If any person orders his paper
discontinued he must pay all arrear
ages, or the publishers may continue
to send it until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount, whether it
be taken from the office or not. There
can be no legal discontinuance until
the payment is made.
4. It' the subscriber orders his paper
to stop at a certain time, and the pub
lisher continues to send, the subscriber
is bound to pay for it, if lie takes it on
of the post-office. The law proceeds
upon the ground that a man must pay
for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that re
fusing to take a newspaper and peri
odicnls from the post-office or remov
ing and having them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of intentional
fraud.
Positivk RnsuiiTS. There are nu
merous remedies that cure sometimes
and becomes trusted as useful, but
none have ever proved so effectual
cured so many and such remarkable
cases as Dr. Ayer's medicines.
The Cherry Pectoral has restored
great numbers of patient who were
believed to be hopelessly allected with
consumption.
Ague Cure breaks up chills and
fever quickly and surely.
Ayer's Compound Extract of Sarsa
parillaeradicates scrofula and impur
ities of the blood, cleanses the system
and restores it to vigorous health. By
its timely use many troublesome dis
orders that cause a decline of health
are expelled or cured.
Ayer's Pills and their effects arc too
well known everywhere to require
any commendation from us here.
