Mr. Prk V. Kiramell. of Pittsburgh, epent
Thanksgiving day in Somerset.
TLe skating on the dam is quite good, and
is being extensively indulged in by lovers
of the jort.
Mrs. Samuel Warnock, of I'rbanna. Ohio,
is vL-iting in Somerset, She i the guest of
Mrs. F. J- Kooser.
The County Commiesioners are in session
to-day, fur the purpose of granting exonera
tions to the collectors of state and county
taxes,
Mr. Irwin Parson came home Friday
with a twenty-pound turkey gobbler,
a quarter of venison and several rabbits,
the result of a day's hunting.
The Thanksgiving sermon preached by
Elder Vogel, in the Methodist church, was
a very able one, and was greatly enjoyed by
a large and intelligent audience.
The sa4 intelligence of the sudden death
of Vice President Hendricks was received
in Somerset at 7 o'clock Wednesday even
ing, and called forth expressions of sorrow
and regret from all who heard it.
Messrs. John and Alex Unston and Frank
Cooper brought a fine young doe to town
Saturday nigat. that they had captured dur
ing the day at Bear Kocks. It weighed
about one hundred pounds, and was brought
down by a shot from Mr. Cooper's gun.
The Johnstown Tribune doesn't like the
new tax law, "which levies tribute on eve
rything but the babies," and says : " The
individual who conceived and framed such
a law and the legislature that passed it,
ought to I confined in some lunatic asy
lum.'' Mr. Kennedy Price, of Meyersdale, was
united in marriage to Miss Urace V. Hob
litzell, an accomplished daughter of Mr. J.
J. Hoblitzell, of the same place, on Tuesday
eveninc. November 24, fcw". A nunibet of
the bride's Somerset relatives attended the
wedding. The IIlrald extends its hearti
est congratulations to the happy young
couple.
Hx Took a Ti MBi t On Sunday last
while Samuel Fair, of Fairhope, on the east
end of the Conntllsville railroad, was out
walking with some companions, a rock on
the mountain side on which he was stand
ing gave way, letting him drop. about sixty
feet. His jaw and one arm were broken and
he tustaincd other severe injuries, but will
probably recover.
Miss Sarah Pile, a most estimable old
lady, died at the residence of her nephew
John C. Pile, at half-Kst eight o'clock
Thanksgiving evening. She was 71 years,
7 months and 17 days old at the time of her
death. The relatives of the deceased request
us to return thanks to their friends and
neighbors for their atceution and many act3
of kindness, during her illness.
As Mr. Jacob Berkey, of Somerset town-
sl.ip, neared his home on Thursday last, af-
ttT , jay spent in rabbit hunting, he con-
C;,1LJ to discharge his gun before taking it
into the house. He placed the gun at his
shoulder and pulled the trigger, when the
breech was blown from the barrel, and Mr.
Berkey 's face terribly burned with the pow
der. It was thought at first that he would
lose the sight of one, it not both eyes, but
his physician now expects to save both.
Thanksgiving day was observed in Som
erset in the regulation manner. The stores
were mostly closed during the day, and the
town put on its Sundav clothes. The union
service in the Methodist church was largely
attended by the religiously inclined, as was
the union prayer meeting in the evening.
The small boy Snt the day in coasting on
the hill, and the young man fortunate
enough to own a horse and cutter, took his
I best girl out for a sleigh ride in the after
noon.

A Joh.nstow!! Romasce. The Johnstown
Tribune tells a story that contains enongh
of mystery and romance for a first-class
blood-and-thnnder novel. Two children,
so the story goes, found a bottle floating
along the bank in the Conemangb. It was
corked up tight, and contained a piece of
paper upon which was written what pur
x,rted to be a message from a captive
maiden, who stated that she had been lured
from New York and was going to Pittsburg,
but that she was taken off at a town where
there was a big iron works, removed to an
other depot, put into a train there and taken
four or five miles to the place of her pres
ent captivity, an old mill. The matter has
aroused some excitement, and will be in
vestigated. One of our exchanges puts the screws to
some of its subscribers in the following
truthful remarks : It is not generally known
that a man w ho refuses to pay for his news
oaer can be prosecuted like an ordinary
criminal, or thief. A New York paper has
begun suit against several delinquent sub
scribers under the United Stats Postal Laws
which say, "the taking of a newsuapcr and
refusal to. pay for it, renders the person lia
ble to criminal urosecution as a thief, and a
person guilty of the same can be punished
as if he had stolen goods to the amount of
the subscriptions." Postmasters are also li
ble for the price of subscription for allowing
paiers to accumulate in their offices when
subscribers have removed away, or refuse to
take them from the office.
We have published tbe new "scalp law"
several limes, but at the earnest request of a
number of our patrons, we give tbe follow
irgextract. Justices of the peace, hunters
and all others interested should cut this out
and paste it in their hats, or somewhere slse
where it will not soon be lost : " Wild cat,
f2 ; foxes, either red or grey, $1 ; mink,
weasel and hawk, 60 cents; for every owl,
except the Arcadian screech or barn owl, .W
cents." It is the duty of any person who
has killed any of the animals or birds above
named and who is desirous of availing him
self of the provisions of this law to produce
such slain animal or bird before any justice
of the peace of the county in which the same
was killed, and make affidavit ol tbe time
and place of killing the same.
There is a bitter fight now progressing in
the Mt, Pleasant (Middle) Presbyterian
Church, that bids fair to break up that or-
ganization, if not settled soon. Tbiscburch
was founded by Dr. James Power in the year
iiuud west oi iuc .iiiriiru muuiimiiiB.
. . : . r . .tl V . . :
Tbe trouble first commenced soon after tbe
advent of tbe present pastor, about one year
ago. At this time a lady was presiding at
the organ, and bad held the position for
years without any compensation. The or-
gamsi asiteu me sum 01 .0 per year lor tue
future, and her services were therefore dis
pensed w ith. Shortly after an itinerant mu-
sic tescher from Scott dale was given the po
sition of organist, at a salary of t'JCO per
year. This arrangement was against tbe
wishes of many, and hence the fight. After
this sundry other troubles arose.

where tbe lands lie, within six months after
the execution of f uch deed and conveyances;

Death or a Pioseer. Peter Hugos, an
honored and respected citizen of Omaha,
died at his residence on Saunders street, at 1
o'clock yesterday morn big. Mr. Hugus was
born in Somerset. Pa., November 7, lfOi.
At an early age he moved to Pittsburgh,
where he was engaged in the dry goods bus
iness for many years. Heafterward went to
Stark county, Ohio, where he lived sixteen
years. In 1S.VJ he came to Omaha, and was
head salesman in O. P. Hereford's dry goods
store. Jn ISoo. ne was elected county oerK
and recorder, those olliccsj at that time being
combined, succeeding Thomas O'Connor.
His services to the county were of great
value, and the administration oftheaffuirs
of his office highly commended. In 1073
he became book-keeper for James E. Boyd,
acting in that capacity for two years. This
was the last active work he was engaged in.
Mr. Hugus has been ailing for about three
weeks, and for the last few days was confin
ed to his bed. He seemed to have no spe
cific disae, but ltis death was caused by a
gradual decline of his powers. Mr. Hugus
was a man universally ecteemed by his
large circle of acquaintances. He was one of
the pioneers of Omaha, and contributed
much to the prosperity of the city in which
he took so great pride. He leaves a widow
and three children, two sons, John W. and
Wilbur B., who live in Wyoming, and a
daughter, Mrs. Beall. Mr. Hugus was knowu
to the entire community ; he had friends
on all sides, and there are many whom he
befriended who mourn his death. He was
a public-spirited, honest citizen, whose place
it will be diflicult to fill. Om iha Bee.
Houorth's G.iiNcf llibrrnica Cutttpanii to At
pear in Ote Court Ilmtrt oh Mandati cniiig,
December 7th, has a better and a larger com
pany than ever, and in addition his new
panorama is uronounced by a number of
exchanges as superior to anything ever be
fore produced. From a Minersville Pa., pa
per, where Howorth's Company lately ap
peared, we copy the following press nutice :
Howorth's Grand Hibernica and Dublin
Dan Company gave one of their pleasing
and delichtful entertainments in Mountain
eer Hall last Friday evening. The hall,
which has a seating capacity of eight hun
dred, filled to suffocation long before the
rising of the curtain. The legend, "stand
ing room only," could not check the tide of
people who rushed for the interior, risking
bodily injuries and all the discomforts of a
densely packed building. At u quarter of
eight every inch of room available was tak
en up and iu order to insure the safety of
those within, the sale of tickets was stopped,
and in consequence hundreds were com
pelled to turn away. The play in its entire
ty showed a marked improvement over the
many Hibernicaeompanies which are travel
ing this region on the strength of the repu
tation Mr. Howorth has earned in lhe past.
The dancing of Fenton described the most
difficult motions in the poetry of dance.
Tbe blunders of the two Dans elicited side
splitting laughter and provoked thunders of
applause. Their acting was faultless, and
their meeting after so many blunders arising
from the resemblance they bore each other
forcibly reminded one of Shakespeare's cre
ation of the two Dromios when they met
and exclaimed together, " Methinks you
are my gla.'8 and not my brother." Without
particularizing the other celebrities, we will
briefly sny the epecial parts assigned them
were admirably sustained and won the high
est encomiums. Tne scenery was superb.
Altogether, the Howorth Company scored a
decided success, and their return Uiis way
will be greeted by as large a bouse as filled
Mountaineer Hall.
Occu patios Tax.
Some time ago brief mention was made in
these columns of a ruling by the supreme
court upon the question of occupation tax.
The decision was made in the case of "Ban
gor's appeal" and its full text has recently
been given to the press. The assessors hav
ing already received their instructions will
make their assessments as heretofore done,
but it is probable that trouble will arise
when the tax comes to be collected. .
Tbe supreme court has explicitly decided
tnat this occupation tax must be equal upon
all persons, and that it cannot be assessed
according to the income of the taxable.
The court is of the opinion that two meth
ods can be employed by the assessor in lay-
I ing this tax : One is to assess every occupa
tion at the same amount, that is, the labor
er, mechanic, clerk, merchant, and profes
sional man each to pay tax upon the same
valuation; the other is to divide into
classes and impose the valuation upon each
member of a class, that is, all laborers are to
be assessed at the same figure, and so on
through all the class-es. The assessment
upon the occupation must be determined by
some other process than the income derived
therefrom. If there be two clerks, one of
whom receives $1,030 peryearand the other
$2,0 0, the occupation tax unon these two!
must be the same. If there is any difference
in the amount oi tax assessed, it cannot be
collected from either. And this tax mnt
be uniform it seems, thrcnghout the county.
Although there may be different assessors in j
the different districts, the valuation mnst be'
the same in all cases or the tax cannot be
collected. Just how the assessors are to pro
ceed in fixing the valuation, is not deter
mined, but it is emphatically decided that
tbe tax mast be uniform and roust not be
based upon income. It would seem from
tbe drift of the court's opinion that a mod
erate valuation, something like $100, should
be placed upon each taxable in tbe commu-
nity having an occupa'ion ; or those having
occupations should be divided in classes,
each class containing every taxable who fol
lows a certain occupation, and a moderate
valuation placed UKn each member of a
class. The valuation placed upon a mem
ber of one class may be different from that
upon member of another class, but It must
be tbe same upon a' I members of one class. !
The assessors in Johnstown are perform
ing their work in accordance with this deci
sion. They Lave adopted tbe following
classification
1 . General managers $.'300.
2. Superintendents $1:5.
3. Assistant superintendents, foremen, at-torneys-at-law,
