i'iuK i.rrrnRMii.K. tn warm summer
weather may jersons feel an irresistible
craving for something sour, and often grati
fy the desire by a free indulgence in pickles,
or vegetables made acid with vinegar. This
demand fjr acids indicates a deficiency in
thc acids secretions of the stomach, and the
demand lor an artificial supply is a natural
one, but vinegar is not the best substitute.
Lactic acid is one of the chief agents that
give acidity to the gastric juice of the stom
ach in health. This is the acid of sour milk,
and, therefore, one of the best summer diet
drinks that we can use is buttermilk. It
satisfies the craving for acids by giving to
the stomach a natural supply, and at the
same time furnishing in its cheesy matter a
good supply of wholesome nutrition. A
man will endure fatigue in hot weather bet
ter on buttermilk than on any diet drink he
ca:i use. Ex.
CotWTEV Roads. The dirt shoveled upon
the conntry roads by the supervisors' direc
tions has been washed away by recent rains.
This happens with great regularity every
Spring. While the present system of road
making is continued the bad roads are likely
to continue. We go on, year in and year
out, like the spiders which spin webs within
rc.ich of the housekeeper's broom, throwing
looe dirt on the ronds, only to tee it washed
away inside of a few weeks, and for the rest
of the yenr the repairs are made to vehicles,
harness and horse flesh. The Reading Timet
suggests a Siate superintendent of public
roads and a Suite appropriation of il,000.0nf)
annually, distributed like the school fund,
on condition that each township collects a
read tax equal in amount to the sum it
would receive from the State. Bad roads
cau only be made good by the expenditure
of money.
Whether the money is raised by the State
or by the neighborhood, it will have to come
out of the pockets of the people If the
pe .pie of the counties real'y think that good
roads can only be obtained by a general
road lr.w and an appropriation, they have
the j-ower to obtain the State's assistance
through the Legislature. The counties need
improved roads more than Philadelphia
needs better streets, and it should be pretty
well i roved by this time that the townships
are enable to maintain irood highways.

had withdrawn as a candidate for Prothon

dates was very eloquently and otherwise
cussed and discussed, all Friday evaning
and until 10 o'clock Saturday morning, and
I was under the impression that Chairman
Scott was one of a group that met in his of
fice, where the matter was fully talked over,
and not denied by Mr. Horner or bis friends.
Mr. Scott, I ana now convinced, was not
there, and hence could not have officially
sanctioned it. If these gentry who betray
ed their friend, and seem, to be gasping for
breath, will call on Chairman Fisher, of the
Democratic County Committee they may be
able to obtain $240, the amount refused
theut by Chairman Scott, it they will hoist
at the mast-head of the Timet the Democratic-Reform
ticket that in all probability will
be nominated before its next issue.

Our farmers are very busy making hay
this week. The crop will be about as tlurrt
this season as it was long last season, but
there will be enough for all, and don't you
forget it,
Thc season so far was very favorable for
the potato bug, and it seems his bugship
has taken advantage of the season. My ad
vice to potato growers is, turn out your
forces every. " Now and Then " and fight
him ; unless you do so, he may succeed in
destroying your whole crop.

The closing exercises of the Berlin Nor
mal, under the principalship of J. M. Ber-
key, closed its spring term on the 20th of
last month, with an examiuation of the
students by County Superintendent Weller.
All those who were examined are well sat
isfied with their certificates, which could
hardly be otherwise with any one who was
under the tutorship of Prof. Berkey. In the
evening there was a granu closing exuioi
tion, in which every one on the programme
performed their part in such a manner as to
not only honor the school and Berlin, but
the community, also.
Indejndence day was celebrated on a
grand scale ia Berlin. The procession,
which numbered fully five thousand, form
ed in the lower Diamond at 11 o'clock a. m.
and then marched to the beautiful grove on
the farm of Mr. Ed. Kimmcll, a quarter of
smile south of town. There the exercises
consisted of short addresses, national airs,
dinner, (which was one of the principal ex
ercises) foot ball, base ball, pig races, etc.,
In the evening the entertainment was
climbing a greased pole, band contest, (in
which the Somerset band carried off the
prize) balloon ascensions, illumination, fire
works, torchlieht procession, etc The town i
was beautifully decorated, and taking all in
all the celebration at Berlin was, as expect
ed, a grand success.

Air d Reibe. In traveling along the
Bedford pike yon meet wagons loaded with
lumber, shingles, cheese, cream, and car
riages, buggies, pedestrians and tramps, in
quiring the way to the tunnel, though all
the tunneling they will do is through a
loaf of bread and piece of cold meat. It re
minds you of the olden times, and you lock
to see the old six-horse Conestoga teams
coming over the hills, and the four-horse
mail coach as it thunders down the bill
with its prancing steeds and gay driver, as
he toots on his horn to waken up the next
sleepy postmaster.
You wonld suppose the County Home
was a summer resort, with its fine buildings
and green lawn in front, flowers and orna
mental trees, and from its elevated situation
and the good health of its inmates. Its san
itary condition is as good as any in the
State, which isowiag greatly to the good
care and watchfulness of the Steward and
his wife. With them cleanliness is a virtue
and here it is carried out. Tbe farm ap
pears to be in a good state of cultivation,
and the stock looks 6ne. Among the in
mates is one John Moore, who is remem
beied by nearly everybody iu the county
on account of an episode in his life. In his
young days he drove stage on the Stoyes
town pike, and having fallen in love with a
girl who, it appears, did not reciprocate his
affection, and bis mind became affected ;
as he was coining inio Stoyestown, on the
top of the hill, he threw down the lines and
began using the whip on the horses. It is
said to have been a fearful sight, the horses
at full speed, the coach plunging and sway
ing from side to side as it struck the
breakers, the passengers screaming, and the
crazy driver furiously laying on the whip.
When the team reached the bottom of the
hill at Capt. Hite's they turned off into an
alley, and were stopped without injury to
any one. Moore was sent to Somerset and
put in irons, where he was kept for some
time and then sent to the County Home,
where he has since remained. The Steward
has been very successful with the insane in
bis care. Sam Arnold, who was always
considered dangerous, is now helping to do
the work on the farm, as well as several
others.
The S. P. R. B, crosses the farm a short Mne : he is the man that should have been

6ince the organization of the corn
