Mr. Will Dewart, of Sunbury, Col. J. M. Reid, of Connellsville, District Attorney F. W. Biesecker and R. S. Scull acted as ushers. Immediately after the ceremony the yonng couple left for Washington and Xew York. H. L. Baer, Esq., who was appointed Com missioner by the Conrt to take testimony in the Salisbury School Board matter, was at Salisbury on Thursday last holding court The trouble grows out of a failure of the board to elect a principal for the borough schools : threw of the directors voting for Howard Keim and three for Levi Licbliter being unabla to agree the matter was brought into Court on a petition to dismiss part of the board.

Many temper ance advocates are of the same opinion as Messrs. Murpby and McLangblin.

The latest wrinkle in tbe way of a fool- fishery is the birth insurance game. The complaint comes from Reading, Pa., where tbe gentlemanly agent bas been passing around representing that be was making np birth insurance classes of 10) escb. One dollar entrance fee was charged to each wife, and when an infant was born to any mem ber of the class the sum of 25 cents was to be assessed and collected of each member and paid to the mother of the infant, which would amount to $125. Public opinion and tbe police took the matter up, and the birth agent Bed before bis plans matured. He will hereafter give that section a wide berth. Tbe study of Physiology and Hygiene continues to form the leading' educational topic throughout the State. Local and per sonal objections here and there step in to break tbe even enor of tbe teacher's way, and many, donbtless, will be the cases re ferred to the department at Harrisborg for adjustment before the present term closes. Already tbe department bas debided tbat pupils who refuse to procure the necessary text-books on the subjects may for such re fusal be suspended from the school until they comply with tbe demands of tbe law. Tbe latest question bearing on this subject that has Deen snbmitted to tbe department is .- " Can boards of directors leeally author ise teachers in their employ toexrnte pupils in tbe public schools from receiving instruc tion in physiology and hygiene when so re quested by tbe parents of the children V To this question State Superintendent Hig bec answers that "The act relating to tbe study of these branches is strictly a compu- I sory law. Its terms are specific and manda tory. Tbe directors have no authority un der the law governing their official action to excuse any pupil from receiving instruc tion ri physiology and hygiene ; but, on the contrary, tbey are required to tare it tanght to'aji tbe children in their schools, ashf ad expressly provides.'.'. ."

In king over the Meyersdale Commercial o' t late issue, I no tice its editor claims to bave arous aroused tbe p whole county to tbe necessity of defeating John C. Barron, tbe Republican candidate for poor director. Well, so far bis malicious tirade against Mr. Barron has taken no effect with as in little, old rock-bes pattered Southampton. Maybe we be too tough, too stiff, too orthodox in our religion and politics here to be amena ble to any new measure introduced by some folks who are suspicious characters? And perhaps we read that party-wrecking jour nal, tbe Hebald, to, devoutly, and - it may be tbat the names of mugwump, inde pendent kicker, Ac: are all six and a half dozen to us. Let consequences be what they will, we can't help it, we shall sustain the wbole Republican ticket, without any Phil son in it The few kickers Southampton displayed in a former campaign, blossomed out from the manure distributed by tbe Commercial free gratis, they have since wilt ed, and would as soon hang as to bave it known that they once kicked.

Dr. 'Meyers of Shanksville was called in and reduced the fracture, and the injured man is now doing as well ss could be expected. I see the Meyersdale Commercial is sup porting Samuel Philson for Poor House Di rector. Its Editor eays Barron is not honest How does be know ; He says Barron ia. con siderably in debt Tbat is something he has nothing to do with. Suppose he is ; that does not make bim a dishonest msn. Many sn honest just and upright man bas debts. He also says Barron is not tbe Re publican candidate ; if Barron is not I am pretty d d sure Philson is not He says again that Barron was a life long Democrat; he was a candidate at the Republican pri mary in 1X82 and was within a few votes of getting tbe nomination. He mnst bave been the choice of a good many republicans. What bas Samuel Philson ever done for the poor of this county tbat particularly quali fies him to take charge of their interests. Certainly he has been well paid for all fa vors be ever done them. I will not vote for Philson, and I hope there is no Republican in our township that will; if there is he ought to be drummed out Scbibbleb. The Triessial Asressnext. ' We are very busy just now getting out the proper election blanks and papers, said County Commissioner's Clerk Hilemsn on Saturday, " but expect to finish up next week, when we will be able to devote onr time to tbe triennial assessment We bave received the new records in which are to be kept the judgments and mortgages certified to ns by the Protbonotary and Recorder, but we bave not yet received the blank returns which each taxable is required to fill np. It is hard to tell what to do with all tbese blanks after tbey shall be returned, aa they will soon fill all the vault room at the dis posal of the Commissioners, The blanks will be distributed as soon as received, so tbat the Assessors may not be delayed in their work. Tbe new tax law was passed at the late session of tbe legislature, and bears date of June 30. 1385. It makes it tbe duty of tbe taxpayer to return his taxable proper ty of a personal nature, instead of requiring tbe assessor to hunt it up, as heretofore. The assessor is empowered to swear tbe person making the return to its truthfulness. It is expected that tbe new plan will develop thousands of dollars' worth of property thst never paid taxes before. WHAT IS TAXABLE. The act makes taxable for state purpose st tbe tate cf three mills on tbe dollar, all money owing by solvent debtors,wbetber by promissory note or pensl or single biil.bond or judgment : also all articles of agreement and accounts bearing interest, owned or pos sessed by any person or persons whatever except notes or bills for work or labor done, snd all money loaned or invested in any other state, and all other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizena of the state, all shares of stock in any bank or saving in stitution or company, ssfe deposit, guaran tee, surety and real estate title insurance, or trust company now or hereafter incorporat ed by or in pursuance of any law of the commonwealth or the ynited States. Jn esse any of these concerns decide to collect annually from tbe shareholders a tax ot six tenths of one per cent upon tbe par value of all the shares of tbe corporation, and pay tbe ssme into tbe etaU treasury on or be fore the first day of March in each year, tbe shares and so mncb of the capital and prof ts ot escb as shall not be invested, in real estate shall be exempt from all other taxa tion. BOW WILL TOD SWEAB ? Aa in tbe old act npon tbe subject, all household furniture, vehicles, watches and other personal property are taxable. Under tbe new law there is no escaping from prop er taxation. Formerly tbe statements were not made under oath. Now the assessor is required to furnish a blank to each taxpayer who must fill it out and make return within ten days after, with an affidavit attached, made and subscribed before tbe assessor.tbat tbe return is true and correct to tbe best of bis or ber belier. Tners is a specia provi sion for tbe benefit of those' who might be disinclined to give the assessor tbe informs tion fie desires- tpon the refusal or failure of any taxable person to make a, return as requested, it will be tbe duty of the to make a return for the person estimating I tbe smoont from tbe best information sj bia cutuiuaui, yr wyivy nuujwnf muiu ig i county commissioners will add 50 per cent.. and (be aggregate amopot abal be t.be ba ;(s of taaton. Tba sWasorij will adminis- ter the oaths and af rmatVwa, reared by 1 tbe act to all taxable persons without charge, At the State Convention of Directors of tbe Foor held in Philadelphia, last week tbe two leading questions discussed were tbe care.of dependant children and tbe disposition of tramps. On tit former subject it was rec ommended tbat tbe law be so amended as to forbid magistrates committing children to the almshouses under any circumstances. In regard to tramps, it was resolved tbat tbe j convention recommend to almshouses and boards of directors of tbe poor the discon tinuance of relief to the professional tramp. Only by this method can be be got rid of. Pittsburgh, Harris bo rg and other cities have discontinued giving relief in any manner to the chronic vagrant and also refuse to pro vide bim transportation- Tbe next meet ing of the Directors will be held at Scranton.

Here is a little gall we extract fram tbe kicker's letter : The Republicans, to a man, almost in this section, say they will not support him (Barron) but will vole ana work tor i nil- son, and they give their reasons for this course. Now, any sane person knows tbat the Re publicans here are to a man for Barron, and tbat this enthusiastic mixed-breed " must bave surely asked Democrats as to bow they would vote, or be wouldn't bave gotten the result tbat he did. I have asked quite number of Republicans as to their voting for Philson. and I failed to find one man who was willing to give bis support to Phil son. Some said, " I can't vote for a Demo crat" Others said. " I will not split my ticket." And still others said, " If Lou Smith did not like Mr. Barron's candidacy, why did be not take a good Republican, and not flop right into tbe Democratic party for a candidate?" Tbe same enthusiast says that Barron is tbe ring candidate and if elected, be will manage the poor bouseto the tune of $15,000 a year. Well, what mis erable sophistry ! Does one man of a board constitute a quorum? Will one man run the business of the Poor House? Would the immaculate Philson run the county if elect ed ? The stupid sophist would answer, yes ! In the next place he says tbat Barron is not ths Republican nominee any more than is Philson. Would he bave us believe tbat Philson, who has been a lifelong Democrat and who was nominated by tbe Democratic convention, is a Republican ? I wonder where he learned bis logic? Did be grap ple some of Lou Smith's sophisticated rea soning ? Sorely no oneelse would lesd him into such utteroblivion and stupidity. He further says tbat Barron, on account of bis business qualities, is wholly unfit for tbe po sition tbat be is seeking, and tbat Philson is one of tbe brightest men of the county, with a large business experience, etc. Well, sm acquainted with Mr. Barron, and I know that be has voted and supported the Repub lican ticket ever since the second election of Lincoln. He is as good a Republican as sny man in the party, and an upright, honest, true Republican at tbat He bas not dallied with one side or another in the political world, but he has always been true to the party with which he bas affiliated himself, our immaculate sophist to the contrary not withstanding. Mr. Barron's financial aSairs bave noth imt to do wib bis candidacy, for we bave bad many county officers wbo were bank nipt, but wbo made some of tbe very best officials for the county. True. Mr. Barron was very mncb embarrassed by his credit ors during the last financial crisis. So was many a good, upright industrious man. He labored bard and industriously, and by careful management be was sble to resume control of bis property, and he is now on a fair fincal basis. Can our sophist show so clear a financial record ? And now, as to Philson ; What claims bas he on Republican votes ? Did he ever sup port a Republican neighbor ? Did he ever help a fallen neighbor from the financial gutter? Only when he could grease his own pockets. Mr. Philson isa financial "bar ber," a man who bas made his money from the necessities of others, a man who has no claim whatever on tbe Frosty Sons of Thunder." Shall we, then, as Republicans, rush to tbe support of such a msn? Xo, never, never .' i sincerely trust that no other re publican will let himself be lead away into such stupidity as was the immaculate soph ist whosigns himself " A Republican," but thst all will turn out and vote tbe wbole Republican tickt. A Sl'BSCBISEB TO THE CoMMEBCIAL. BB'JTHEB VALLEY ITEMS. Wonder if Louther tbe Smith thinks be can fool a half doxen republicans to vote the democratic ticket Jobn S. Meyers raised snd stored sway about fifteen hundred bushels of winter ap ples, and boiled a very large amount of ap plebutter. Let not a single repubjiuan in Brothers valley be paught voting the Lou Smith Democratic ticket. David Bloogh made nearly two thousand barrels of cider this fall and tbecjirr season (s not near over yet. Tbe highest number of barren made in one day was fifty -one. Not one good republican in the township that will vote theLouBmitU Democratic tickef. Last Friday evening the Sandy Hollow literary society was reorganized for tbe win ter term; This is an old and well-established institutioo. Let til the young folks, snd older ones too, who bsve a literary turn of mind, living within a reasonable distance attend. The society meets every Friday evening. Louther, tbe Smith, bas ticaeled some of the democrats of Berlin and Brothersvalley to such an extent by bis flopping that tbey take his paper until the flection is over Tbey all nat bim on tba back and say toutbe'r is 'tbe man to sava ns this time. Pat wait tV "fter t1 election and yon will bear tbese same chaps heap npon his bead, corses load and long. The largest pumpkins so far, beard of were raised in BrothersvaUey. I, am no braggadocio, but will report only what' was reported to me. here were no pnmps;us weighed because we farmers bave no steel. jaru tual wm weijgip iflVTK uaa POaOS, buj on reports that it was as mock- as wo mea could do to roil ope on e waon, and, anoUtetaaya, that tbey bad to cut soma to pieces with a large crosscut saw befora tbey could be lifted on tba wagon ; another says be bad to nse maul and wedges to split some like one splits rails before they could be got ten on a wagon. Xow if any other town ship raised larger pumpkins I should like to hear from it. Tbe Editor of tbe Meyersdale Commercial thinks be is carrying tbe republican party of Somerset county in his coat pocket and can vote it for a democrat just as easy as not, if be sees proper. But Oh ! how disap pointed this editor will be when election comes around. He can Influence but one vote and that will be L. A. 8milh's. Berlin is to have a paper too in the near future. I understand that Mr. Frank Chor pening will move to Berlin about the 1st of Xovrmber and start the paper at once. It is to be a political paper and I presume dem ocratic. It is to be hoped that tbe people of Berlin will give the paper the support it should have from a town tbe size of Berlin then the paper will be a success. Xow TuE.f. Cosfliesce Items. Mr. Jsmes L. Mitchell, of this place, nar rowly escaped with bis life a few nights ago. Having been detained on the Fayette coun ty side of tbe Youghiogheny river until a late hour, he attempted to cross tbe tempo rary foot bridge in the dark, and fell into the swift waters of tbe river. The fall hav ing partly stunned bim, be came very nigh drowning. His cries for help could not be answered, owing to tbe lateness of the hour, and tbe long distance to any bouse. Why is there no bridge over this river? Bob Scott, tbe colored man who is accused of killing the Hungarian at tbe Chicago and Connellsville Coke Works, parsed through here twice, first on bis wsy to Cumberland, Md., on foot, and second on his way from Cumberland to I'nioutown jail, by rail, ex penses paid. He was arreted at Cumber land. Fayette county still keeps a little ahead in homicides. Peanuts are being raised with success in this and Fayette counties. Mr. H. H. Rush has raised as fine specimens as can be found anywhere, and Mr. M. Burnworth, of Fay ette county, also bas a fine lot of them. We love enterprise, and who knows but tbat peanut raising in this part of the county may not become a profitable business. Give us more peanuts. The residence of Mr. Andrew McNear, just across tbe Youghiogheny, was destroy ed by fire on tbe 2ii inst About 3 o'clock in ths afternoon the children discovered fire in the roof, and Mr. McNear and his wife be ing out in tbe field they gave tbe alarm, but before help arrived the flames had spread beyond tbe hope of saving the building. About two-thirds of tbe furniture was sav ed. No Insurance. Lues not estimated. The politics ot the Meyersdale Commercial are of a mixed and spurious quality, and if its editor was to eliminate from its columns all that is Democratic and spurious and publish nothing but genuine, straight-out Republicanism, be could print it all on one side of a postal card and have plenty of space left to publish tbe names of the con tributors to tbe prosecution fund. Yet this is called a itepuoucan paper. i course. mongrel sheets are allowed to claim that which they least possess. The deception would not be complete without such an ar rangement. Republicans, beware! The Meyersdale Commercial not only advocates. but urges with all tbe power it possesses, which fortunately is not much, you to vote for Sam Philson, of Berlin, a stright-out, stiff-necked, died -in - the-wool Democrat who probably nover voted for a Republican in his life, against John C. Barron, of Som erset township, a true Republican, an hon est intelligent, hard-working farmer, for the office of Poor House Director. Mr. Barron is a laboring man, and would make a good officer, while Philson is an opulent banker. Y'ou know how much they love the people. But Lou. Smith calls this Republicanism! Did you ever hear of such a thing before? His Republicanism must be of the kangaroo kind, that trots in front and paces behind. Confluence, Oct. 24, 1N-5 X. The Mystebt solved. Why should we buy our Clothing, Hats, Caps and Cents Furnishing Goods at Becher's Clothing Hall ? is s question tbat is being asked ev ery day. But the answer is easily and plain ly told. Tbe first reason is, tbat it is the only place in Somerset where you can find an exclusive stock of clothing aud Gent's Furnishing goods. Secondly, There is not any article pertain ing to a first class Clothing establishment tbat can not be found at Becher's Clothing Hall. Thirdly, You will find tbe lsrgest and handsomest StocE of Suits and Overcoats for Men's, Youths' Boys' and Children's wear, that has ever been seen in Somerset. Fourthly. Becber is an experienced Cloth ier, and be does not sell yon old stock tor new. When be bas an article in his store tbat does not sell ss readily as it should he leduces the price to such a low figure tbat a customer cannot help but buy. Fifthly, Becber pays cash for his goods. and thereby saves a heavy discount, which be proposes to give to bis customers. Sixthly, All goods are guaranteed as rep resented or money refunded. The public is respectfully invited to call and examine his mammoth stock before purchasing elsewhere, and tbey can readily solve the mystery. B. BECHER.
