Dr. Villers captured his audience, which was a large one, lit the opening, and kept them in a continuous, roar of laughter foran hour and a hall. His description of a rural debating society was perfect, as was his im personation of Jodi Billings and other cele urated humorists, while a' a ventriloquist he is certainly the best ever heard in Som erset.

On Friday night last Mr. Will Traup, a clerk in Schel!'. hardware and stove store, stopped on his wav home from the skating rink, to leave his skates at thestore. He noticed that the door at the rear of the store was ajar, and walked back, closed it, and was just steppingout of the frontdoor when his attention was attracted by a slightnoise. He at once struck a light, and discovered in the middle of the floor a large collection of tinw are tied together and ready for removal A further search revealed the form of a man hiding beneath a range. Traup took him by the collar, stood him on his feet, and was much surprised to recognize John Durst, a yonng man living on the outskirts of town. Troup says Durst offered him f2f if he would let him go and promise not to tell. He ad mitted that he had a pal outside, but refused to give his name. Owiii to the lateness of the hour he allowed Durst to go, but promptly reported the matter to hi em ployer m the morning. Durst will be re membered as the young man who shot himself a few month, ago. Durst has skip ped, but the officers are keeping a sharp look out for him. A nnmlier of the stores in town have been broken into durfiig the past few months, and the merchants have made up their minds to put a stop to it. At the meetirg of the Stockholders of the Pittsburgh Connellsville Railroad held at Pittsburgh last week, all oflastyerr's offi cer, of the Company were re-elected.

Snow is scarce in this vicinity, and as. a matter ot course no sledding. The camp train wiil ho moved from here to Sand Patch-on Sunday next. At least it is bo reported. The interment of Isaiah Rodgers, whose tragic death you announced in the last issue of the HiKalo. took place at Hooversville cemetery on Wednesday, December 9th, at 11 o'clock a. m. The sad occasion was im proved appropriately by Elder McCalluui, of the Disciple Church, from the well known words, " Write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth ; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their la bors, and their works do follow them. Truly this neighborhood lost a good citizen, one who was diligent in business, and the Disciple Church one of her most zealous ami liberal members. Lisoo. I as c A I shall anV h andtrbilt s will was read by more per sons and with a great deal more interest than was President Cleveland's message, consid ering that none of them were mentioned in either. As an instance of (his we quote the following 1 rem the Xew York 77mM, where the author not only read the will but took out his pencil and "figgered on it" : "Let ns try and describe Mr. Vanderbilt's great foil line in terms of linear, square and cubic measurement and of weight. Every body understands these terms and they make a definite impression on men's minds. If this sum of $200,0iO,(XO were in stand ard silver dollars it would present such fea tures as this: Put lengthwise, dollar after dollar, it would stretch a distance of 4.072 miles, mak ing a silver streak from Xew York across the ocean to Liverpor.l. 1'iled up, dollar on dollar, it would reach aheighth of "5 miles. I-aid flat on the ground, the dollars would cover a space of nearly CO res. The weight of this mass of .ilver would be 7,H0 tons. To transport it wonld require cars, carrying 20 tons each (th-s is the capacity of the strongest treight ears) and making a train just about 2 1-2 miles long. On ordinary grades it would require 12 lo comotives to haul this train. On roads of steep grades and sharp curves, 15 or 0 hco motives would be needed. In one dollar bills this two-hnndred-niil-lion-dollar fortune would assume such shapes as this : The bills stretched lengthwtse would ex tend 2.1,071 miles, or nearly the circumfer ence of the earth at the equator. Piled up one on another, close as leaves in a new book, they would reach a height of 12 miles. Spread out on the ground they would cov er 740 acres, or nearly the whole snrface of Central Park, including pouds and reser voirs. A safe deposit vanlt to contain these bills would require to be 21 feet long, 21 feet wide, and 2 feet high. 1e:..-mokk. Kansas, December 7, lHs.1. Mb. KniToB : Among your patrons there may be some desirous ot seeing an item from Western Kana. I am located about fifty mil south of the parallel passing through Somerset. There is a vast difTerenoe in tem perature, however. We have had no snow falls yet, this season. Cattle are still graz ing on the prairies. The weather is pleas ant, as the heat is not oppressive or the cold severe, at this season of the J e:ir. This is no wood, but a corn country. Timber is found only along the hanks of rivers and streams. The vnrit-ties are boxelder. ash, elm, walnut, and Cottonwood. This part of the State is well watered, as can be observ ed by tracing the north fork of Solomon river through Norton county. There U a vatt area of farming land, free trom surface stone, and composed of dark, ricti, sainlv loam, covered with a heavy sod, the same being used extensively in the erec tion of barns and sheds, and by some for dwellings. It is claimed to make a com fortable house, being warm in winter and cool in' summer. Among these structures may be found some, with bay windows and arched doors. The more primitive struct- ures were built regardless of taste, some liv- ... , ' ! i ,n I, ..Is. ' . a ul m.,1. .limn 1,a ' ing in holes, or excavations made along the banks of ravines and covered with poles, twigs and sod. The era of sod bnildingis almost over. Society is improving. Frame structures are being erected, and immense cribs in which to store corn. Much of the corn is thrown on piles, similar to stone on some of the eastern farms. At present corn is worth 25 cents per bush el, while coal rates about the same. The former is extensively used as fuel by many of the fanners. The land is not adapted to corn growing only, but small grain and veg etables, snch as potatoes, melons, sweets, etc., are successfully grown here. Trices of tarld vary according to quality and location. Eight hundred dollars will buy s good farm of 100 acres, within three or fonr miles of the railroad. Three years ago land rated at two dollars per acre. Farming land is not enclosed by fence. The herd law is in force here, that is for every one to care for their own stock, and not allow them to trespass. It is a common sight to meet a herder mounted on a twenty dollar pony, with a forty dollar saddle. The health of the countrry is good. Cy clones and earthquakes are feared and felt no more, and fever and ague is almost un known. Respectfully, J. A. G. The latest style derby hats and anything in the hat or cap line, cheap at J. B.

The habit of affirming j j that he calls attenUon t .has become so prevalent a. to call for remark frorn every stranger ttiatVlitts our cuuna. lutnma , , 1 t : great many gooo, iruc uuuci mcu u uc countv who are conscientiously opposed to takin ' an oath in any foim. When such men affirm they are entitled to great credit ' for havin" the courage cf their convictions jand their scruples on this point will be fully and freely acknowledged by the Court ; but a great many people have got into the habit cf affirming simply because they consider it less binding on their consciences, and the ; Court has decided to prevent this by requir j . "Z, J.hloath in oneTf ,hJ "ft ss, . forms prescribed by the Act of Assembly unless they show that they have conscien tious scruple, in the matter. The Courts action meet with general approval and hearty commendation. G is r limes : From some remarks made in your presence, when constable, and grand jurors were about to be sworn, you would naturally infer that the Court looks upon the growing custom of men in judicial proceedings claiming to make simple affir mation instead of making a direct appeal to Almighty tied, in confirmation of truth, by taking one of the solemn forms of an oath, as a custom fraught with great evil to the public good, -,nd tending to weaken the sanction of oaths or atlirmatioos in any form, and to demoralize judicial proceed ings. We have no doubt of it, whatever. No one has greater respect for that noble class of Christians who make a liberal ap plication of the teachings of the Master in Matth. fi from 34 to 33 : " 1 ay unto you, swear not at all ; neither by Heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool ; neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King ; neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair black or white, hut let vour communication be yea, yea, nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than these, cometh ofevil." And also of the passage in the Epistle of James. 5.12. Above all my brethren, swear not, neither by Heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, but let your yea lie yea and your nay nay, lest ye come into condemnation." And though I personally do not agree that these passages have any reference whatever to the taking of an oath in judicial proceed ings, 1 neverineiess give an men credit lor equal sincerity and pure motives who con strue them differently, and as by law men may qualify themselves according to their conscientious persuasion by taking a corpo ral oath or an affirmation, no one will more cheerfully concede the right of all good citi zens to decule for themselves whether they shall conscientiously refuse to take the oath, aud when any one refuses to take the cor poral oath on account of conscientious per suasion we shall permit him to affirm. The law reads: Be it enucttd. That all and all manner of crimes and offences, matters and cause, whatsoever to be inquired of, heard, tried and determined, by virtue of this or any oth er act or law of this province, or otherwise, shall and may be inquired of, heard, tried and determined by judges, justices, inquests and witnesses qualifying themselves accord ing lo their conscientious persuasion respec tively, either by taking a corporal oath, or by the solemn affirmation allowed by act of parliament to those calleO QuaKers, in Great Britain; which affirmation of such persons as conscientiously refuse to tske an oath, all be accounted and deemed in the law aye the full effect of an oath, li any case whatsoever in this province. And ail such persona as shall be convicted of fnlselv and corrnptly affirming or declaring any matter or thing, which, it the same had been upon oath, would by law amount to willful and corrupt perjurv, shall incur the same penalties, disabilities and forfeituies, as per- j sons convicted of willful perjury do incur by the laws of Great Britain. All and all manner of crimes, offences, matters, causes aud things whatsoever, to be inquired of, heard tried and determined, or done or performed, by virtue of any law in this province, or otherwise, shall and may be inquired of, heard, tried and determined, by judges, justices, witnesses and inquest, and all other persons qualifying; themselves, according to their conscientious persuasion respectively, either by taking the solemn af firmation, or any oath in the usual and com mon form by laying the hand upon and kissing the book, or by lifting np the right hand, and pronouncing or assenting to the .following words: , .4. '., do (wear y .4- rittyhttt God. the nearrlter of ullhfnrU, that I will .. aud OmioxI than aiwcr to (iod nt tit!,!.)! Which oath so taken by rer - sons who conscientiously refuse to take an oath in the common form, shall be deemed and taken in law, to have the same fried with an oath taken in the common form. Whether a strict construction of the woid crMiasion, as used in the law refers to the creed or belief of one who is a mem ber of a particular Christian church that toai'lies, the unlawfulness of tukmg a corporal oath, we will not now discii.-s or decide, though how it should be made ia apply to persons of full ae, standing aloof from all church connection, not Mohammedan, Catholic or Protestant.Jwe can't well conceive. I'nder the old dispensation we read, Dt-ut. 10 :'0 : " Thou shiilt fear the Lord thy God ; Him shalt thou serve, and to Him shait thon cleave, and shsJt furor by His name." If the new Jipenalion only binds those accepting Clir ist, the old is, besides being the law to the Jews, in harmony also in this point with the law of nature andobligitin g, on all, and in it we read not of affirmation A lawful oath form a part of the moral wonhi, and the moral worship of God -is perpetual. The safety of communities and men consists in the maintenance of truth. An oath is a calling on God, as the one who knows the heart that he will bear witness to the truth, and punish n.e if I swear falsely. That the Apostles made use of an oath is too plain for cavil ; ft. Paul says, "God is my witnes whom I serve with my spirit in the Gos-pcl of His Son. that without ceasing I wake mention of you always. Again, I call Gm1 for a record on ny soul that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. But I came not as a preacher I want to challenge the minds and consciences of the- jurors, by referring them to cenai i sound ririiH'ijileH, in the hope that s gx,d uin and true will stand forth t nurugeously, and hi-Ip i maintain the sacrt-1 obligation of the oath as a continuation uf the truth, and in the hope that suou of th?iu a have n'.i conscieu- ! tions persuasion that compels them to refuse ' to be sworn, will freely and cheerfully take the oath in mat I.irra wincn to tliem leems the most solemn andimpressiveand as mo-it l : i- ..i .. ... u .. i . ... .... . . i . , , . , , .... , , . . solemnity of the act, to the end that witness- - e may come to regard the binding obliga- tionof the oath as it was wont to be remind ed in former days. All that is done in Court is supposed to be done under the solemnity and sanction of an oath. I repeat, you have no right to stand up and affirm from mere choice and habit ; you only have such right if you have a conscientious persuasion, and, when you have such conscientious persuasion, the Court will not only respect it, but also give you great credit for asserting it. Don't think for a moment the Court fears you will do less than your duty nnder any form of oath. What we are doing is to gnard this citadel of justice from the inroad of a custom that is becoming so general that it is becoming alarming. For the in crease of affirmation is far ahead of the in crease of either morality, or a sound faith. . Our line of carpets and rugs is fall ; what is nicer for a Christmas present than a nice rng?
