day articles of merger and consolidation
were filed ami granted in the cilice of the
secretary of the commonwealth by the di
rected of the Seaboard, Tittsburg and
Great Western, railroad company and the

was chartered about two years ago, but not
much has been done toward the completion
of its line, w hich starts in the locality known
as the Baltimore and Cumberland valleys
near Green village. Franklin county, to a
point west of Pittsburg, along tha Ohio
river, in Allegheny county. The road is to
run through Pittsburg and will be 210 miles
in length. The charter of the other com
pany, the "Delaware Water (Jap and South
western." was issued a few wecKs ago. It
was to start in the towuship of Londonderry,
ledford county, and extend to Smitblield,
Monroe county, near Delaware w ater gap, a
distance of iVo miles. The object of the
merger as stated in the pajcrs tiled is "to
best promote the interest of the public."
t lut-siders w ho seem to have some knowledge
of the affair say it is to form an outlet for the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad through Penn
sylvania. The new road as consolidated
will be known as the "Seaboard, Pennsylva

Work having commenced on the Alle

C. A. M. Krissinger has started a new

The literary society which was organized

The coal mines along the Buffalo Yalley

At present the indications are that the
winter will be as mUd as the ninth, and there
are good prospects sor another abundant
crop of ice, of which I think there is more
stored in this township than any other two
districts in the county.
The schools of the township are all closed
during the week, and the teachers are at
tending the County Institute. It is to be
hoped that the representation of teachers,
di'ectors and friends of education from
Brothersvalley will compare favorably with
those from other districts.
At this writing sledding is splendid, and
our farmers are making good use of it in
hauling limestone and coal. It is no uncom
mon occurrence to see from -5 to 30 sleds
pass through Berlin before sunrise, on their
way to the limcquarry of Edward Kimmel,
and at the quarry it reminds one more of the
Fnion depot at Pittsburgh, than of a lime
quarry on a Brothersvalley farm,
Coasting is a splendid exercise, and very
extensively engaged in by the lads and lass
es of Berlin. In fact, the pavements are
made as smooth as a looking glass by this
coasting, and pedestrians are always in dan
ger of having their equilibrium knocked
from under them by some of those fleet
coasters. Now, I dan't begrudge the boys
their coasting, only I think the javements
are not quite the plaee for It.

Tiietbamplaw The unabated an dabom
inabls tramp nuisance is daily becoming
more annoying and obnoxious while the
act, passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature
a few years ago to suppress professional
tramping, remains as a dead letter on our
statute boeks.
It would not be just to condemn, unquali
fiedly, all persons designated as tramps as
unworthy of kindness or charity, for possi
bly there may be many among them whose
true story would call forth our tenderest
emotions. But there are so many whose
roving life is a matter of choice or has been
brought about by indolence and dissipation
that the tramp, in general, is set down as an
unmitigated vagrant, devoid of nearly ail
worthy traits of character.
This floating population is evidently a
blur on our civilization as long as we show
our incompetency to deal with it successful
ly. The idleness and beggary which are ,
necessary accompaniments of a tramp's life.
must lead to the loss of self-respect and con
sequent degradation, and the thousands of
them that are daily passing to and fro and
watching for an opportunity to commit
some depredation, must necessarily have an
evil influence on our body politic as well as
being highly obnoxious to industrious and,
provident people.
The community has been harfassed so
persistently of late by these dirty, ill-looking
vagrants that the people are commencing to
feel that some relief from the nuisance is de
voutly to be wished. The enforcement of
the tramp law might have the desired effect
if the people would tuake up their minds
that it should be enfoacedin every ,case com
ing under their observation.
Section one of this law provides that any
person going from place to place begging
and requiring money and a living, and
having no fixed place of residence in the
county or city in which he shall be arrested,
shall be deemed a tramp and on conviction
shall he sentenced to prison for a eriod not
exceeding twelve months.
Section two provides that any tramp
entering a dwelling house without the
jwniission of the occupant, or shall kindle
any fire in the highway, or on the land of
another without the owner's consent, or
shall be found to be carrying dangerous
weapons and firearms, and shall on being
tried by a jury, lie found guilty of unlawful
practice as aforesaid, shal be sentenced to
prison at hard labor for a period not exceed
ing three years.
Section three provides that any act of
begginc or vagrancy as described shall be
evidence that the person committing the
same is a tramp.
Section four provides that any person may
apprehend a tramp and take him before a
justice of the peree or alderman, whose duty
it shall be after hearing the evidence, to
discharge or commit the prisoner for trial,
as in other cases of misdemeanors.
Section five provides that the acts shall
rot apply to any female or minor under
sixteen vears of age. nor to any blind, deaf
ordumn person unable to perform manual
labor.

"It is not what people eat, but what they

what they remember that makes them leorn

they practice, that makes then rightaous."

Charles H. Fisher, of the Book Store,
takes pleasure in informing the public that
he will have on sale his usual elegant and
extensive stock of Christmas and New
tears tards, albums, scrap books, writing
desks, box paers, purses, and other beauti
ful articles suitable for holiday presents.
Vet it is my intention this holiday season
The readers of the Herald will find that
the stock of Holiday goods offered by C. N.
Boyd is the finest ever seen in Somerset.
Everyone should call this week and make
selections while stock is full. There is al
ways a rush the last week, and desirable
goods are sometimes gone. Call at once.
Gebuakt's Best. If you want gixid bread
buy none other than "Gebhart's Best Flour,"
manufactured under the "New Jonathan
Mills Process," the improvements prepara
tory te the manufacture of which cost the
proprietors of the mill $30,000, and our re
tail trade of one hundred barrels a month
attests the fact that it is no humbug.
