Ceramics, ugly jugs, and vases, and

even old Holland gin bottles are made use

nearly all bis live stock teveral weeks ago;
itappeara that Mr. ti. together with a

Index Boards A Novel Sccokstiox
A correspondent sends us a suggestion
in relation to index boards, as follows:
Would it not be a eood idea to have an in
dex board, bearing the name of the head
of the family, at the entrance from the
public road, to each private residence in
the country districts ! Also at the entrance
of each nlace which bears a name, whether
it be a hamlet, vil'-age, borough, town or
city ? It this plan were adopted, it would
afford great convenience to the travelers
who traverse our country roaoa. it oiieu
happens that in traveling along a country
road the index board shows that a place
with a high-sounding name is just ahead.
The traveler expects to see a large town.
but after going a few miles he sees another
board which says that the place lies ocninu
him, he having passed it without noticing
u. When you ride willia friend in your
own neighborhood, you are frequently
asked who resides in this and that botue,
but are not able to answer, although you
may be personally acquainted with the
occupants. By the aid of these index
boards you might often find the residences
ot persons whom you know but have nev
er visited. The tax collectors and assess
ors would find it a great convenience.
The United States government has seen
this and niide jt a law that an index board
or sign be placed at every cigar manufac
tory, or other place front which duty is
due, and why should not our County
Commissioners demand the same law

Tub Same Old Stort. How a confi
ding granger from the west was euchred
out ot thirty dollars in cash by two sharp
ers workine in concert is thus told by the
Aitoooa Mirer of Wednesday evening :
On Monday evening a tinner named John
W. Coy, o"t Illinois, got on the Fast Line
at Pittsburgh en route to the east. A
gentlemanly looking sharper named Mey
ers got in "the same car and took a seat
beside the rural gentleman, and soon got
into couversiition w ith him. Before the
train started another sharper went into the
car, and, representing himself as a freight
aint at Pittsburgh, told Mr. Meyers that
his treight was in the dep. and must be
taken out immediately. Mr. Meyers over
hauled his pockets, but had "no loose
chiinsre," whereupon he produc.-d a draft
for f TOO, and asked the farmer to give him
:0 on jt to pay the freight on his goods
and that it should be paid back to him at
Greensburg, where he would go into the
baggage car of tbe train and get the mon
ey out of his trunk. The countryman
"bit." and the sharpers got off the train
never to return again. The conductor ot
the train, Mr. P. F. Hodge, was informed
ol'the swindle and immediately instituted
search for the sharpers, but as a matter of
course tailed to fiud them. The old gent
leman, oa his arrival in litis city, inform
ed our reporter that he had the draft any
how. How easily some peiple can be
fooled by sharpers.
Sipesville Items. Is Backskinner

Is Sipesville dried up? No, genlt!emen,
not by a jug full. We still live and loco
mote as usual with an additional being in
our midst which certainly is a "thing of
beauty and a joy forever it we may in
fer from the ecstatic expression of parties
most intimately concerned.
Tbe topic of conversation still verges
on the "weather" with slight deviations
towards cheese-factories, candidates and
sugar boiling. Drifting along with the
mysterious course ot human evenu the
citizens ot this district have filed their
declaration of independence by voting fur
themselves a new election district, and
consequently the streets of Sorserset will
be enlivened by tbe Sipesville delegation
no more. But cheer up, ye Republicans !
Be "conciliated," and hold the fort at
Simerset, for we are coming wiiha solid
.North.
Sipesville had a circus. A traveling
minstrel. The programme consisted of
bogus datkey jigs, banjo manipulations,
and fire cracker explosions. Receipts.one
dollar and seventy-five cents; expendit
ures, five dollars; balance still due the
obliging host A disgusted public and
future generations will rise up and tar and
feather the next minstrel that dares molest
this quiet town, and forever call tbem
etirsed. Ye future similar concerns be
ware, lest ye wander too nieh.

Mr. Editor. As we have not seen any
thing in the columns of the ever pleasant
and welcome Herald, concerning our little
village ; indeed we think it a real business
place; for some time I thought I would
write to you. On Saturday the main street
is crowded ail day, and the way the black
smith's hammerrings one would think they
were going to shoe all the horses in Sum
mit township. Nearly all oar working
men and boys are employed in the coal
mines in this vicinity, which tends to
brighten business. Our school is in a
flourishing condition and thf teacher is
certainly doing justice to his pitpds. Our
literary society closed on Friday evening,
after having been in session tor four
months ; its sessions were very entertain -in?.
Tbe chools of this townsh'iD will
close in four weeks ; the corps 'of teachers
employed this winter was an efficient one
ana we have no complaints of any ot thejii.
Teachers and' dirtctori' Lieel out each
month and hold an institute.' a measure
which is certainly beneficial.

"You directors can pitch in at any time

the second day embodying my "pet
phrase," changing the drawbacks on
school efficiency, to the want of intelli
gence and liberality in school boards I
took issue on this question, and absented
that school boards were limited in means
and had to work m accordance with the
ability of the people. During this discus
sion a teacher asserted that the board of
directors ot a certain township were so ig
norant that they could not read a wriUtn
application torn school. This language
was taken up by the president in hU con
eluding remarks, at the close ot the direc
tors' meeting, and pronounced false from
his personal knowledge. But D. L. P. is
oblivious to all these things.

sprinkled with snow.tlakes and swept with
the dark clouds of a tempestuous sky,
w hile below is an old-tashkmed open fire
place with blazing logs and quaint andirons,
and a row of black-birds seated on the
frame of the cheerful picture, like minstrels
ready for the 'opening load.' The num

touches the high-water mark ot the extra
ordinary success of this periodical. We
doubt it any magazine has ever been pub

'In point of immediate interest we give
the place of honor to Mr. Noah Brooks's
"PERSOXAL RECOLLECTION Of LISCOLX."
It is a most delightful paper, admirable
in manner, and ot the highest value as a
help to the full compreheosiou of the man.
One more paper is promised, but Mr.
Brooks cannot do a greater service than to
go on and exhaust to the miuuu-st his re
collection of the man who is, on the
whole, the most peculiar figure in our
history. We should add that the portrait
of Lincoln, drawn from a photograph, by
Wyatt Eitoo, is the best that has ever
been printed ot him has most of his char
acter.

remarkable quality of this bead is its es

likeness, admirable in every lineament,
we should say, and yet it is a new likeness."

A Last Greeting. Among the nu
merous sympathetic creations ot the cele
brated artist, Gabriel Max, who stands
first among the painters of the Munich
school, are the touching scenes of the blind
girl holding the lamp tor her fellow be
lievers to descend into the secret cata
combs, and that of the poor motherless
child, "Julia Capulet," carried by the
nun, also the crushed widow compelled
to look on the. auction ol her distrained
property. But by many "A Last Greet
ing" is considered bis masterpiece. It
represents a lovely maiden, who has been
cast into the arena, in pagan Rome, to be
devoured by the savage beasts, for tbe de
lectation ot the inhuman mob. She leans
against the encircling stone wall; at her
feet, broken by their fall, lie some simple
wild flowers; imploringly she looks up,
seeking the hand from which they came.
Her whole lite like some gigantic panora
ma, swiftly flashes through her feverish
brain, every act stands cut with painful
distinctness. Deeply she realized how
often that same strong hand, w hich now
alone bestows a last farewell, had been
proffered. Ably it would have protected,
beside ensuring comfort, happiness and
health, had she not carelessly and disdain
fully turned away. Women suffering from
those chronic weaknesses peculiar to tneir
sex are prone to just such actions. Every
day they hear ot the Favorite Prescription
ot Dr. R. V. Pierce, of the World's Dis
pensary and Invalids' Hotel Buffalo, N.
y. Thousands ot these sufferers write in
universal commendation ot us great ex
cellence and worth. Once within a dread
ed pale of disease, it is worse than folly to
be careless, and delay the use of this posi
tive means of cure. "Ladies suffering from
weakness, bearing down pain, or weak
kick, and nervous prostration, will find
Ibis a specific remedy.' On receipt of
fl 50, "The Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser," a book of over nine
hundred large pases, will be sent post
paid. )t contains a clear and concise de
scription of the numerous diseases with
which women are atllicted. Addres tbe
author, R. V- Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, New
York.

A Gentle Hist. In our style of cli
mate, with its sudden changes of tempe
rature, rain, wind and sunshine oiien
inlerniirglcd in a single day. it is no
wonder that our children, friends and
relatives are so frequently taken from us
by neglected colds, half the deaths result
ing directly from this cause. A bottle ot
Boschee's German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate Use will prevent se
rious sickness, a large doctor's bill, and
perhaps death, by tbe use of three or four
doses. For curing Consumption, Hemor
rhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup
or any disease of the Thioat or Lungs, its
success is simply wonderful, as your drug
gist will tell you. German Syrup is now
sold in every town and village on this con
tinent. Sample bottles fur trial, 10c.;

HARRIED.
SMITH XICKLOW. On the 24th, of
January. 1873 at tbe residence oi the
bride's mother, by Josiah Gerhardt. Esq.,
Mr. William Smith to Miss Dorinda A.
N'icklow, both of Middlecreek, Twp.
DIED.
Thb Parent op Insomnia. The pa
rent of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine
cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach.
Good digestion gives sound sleep, indiges
tion interferes with iL The brain and
stomach sympathize. One of the promi
nent symptoms of a weak state ot the
gastric organs is a disturbance ot the great
nerve intiepot, the brain. Invigorate the
stomach, and yon restore equilibrium to
the great centre. A most reliable medi
cine for the purpose is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which is far preferabie to mineral
sedatives and powerful narcotics which,
though they may for a time exert a sopor
ic influence upon the brain, soon cease to
act, and invariably injure the tone ot the
stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary,
restore activity to the operations ot that
all important organ, and their beneficent
influence is reflected in sound sleep and a
tranquil state of the nervous system. A
wholesome impetus is likewise given to
the action ot the liver and bowels by its
use.
Have Yoc Tried It? We refer to
that most remarkable compound. Dr. Mor
ris' Syrup of Tar. Wild Cherry and Hore
hound, for coughs, colds, blood spitting,
weak lungs, croup, whooping conzb,
asthma, bronchitis, and all diseases of the
lunga and throat. Probably no simi
lar preparation ever before so quickly
found iu way into public favor as this.
Its sale in our community is simply enor
mous. Those who have been disappoint
ed in other so-called remedies, are special
j inyjted tq try ihU- He sure to get the
genuine Dr. Morris' Syrup of Tar, Wild
Cherry and Horehound. There are imi
tations in tbe market. Look out for them.
