The Ten nylvainhi State Weather Service
brings to light the somewhat lingular fact
I that tlie stiow ail in tlie western counties of

preeipita-ion of rain and snow lias been as j

tbe production of this war drama is affirm-
ed by the receipts, $1S00, and by tbe gen

Thursday evening of tbat week. Tbe per

As to Election Returns. J
A circular has recently been i.-suerl by tbe !
Secretary of the Ommouweaitlt containing ;
tbe opinion of the Attorney (leneml relative
to Use duties of the election timcers in mok- 1
ing nttints S.r aldermen and justices of the :
peace in tlie different Ismjughs and town- ;
sbii of tlie State. The opinion resulted .
from a contest as to tlie right of commission i
arising in one of the boroughs of Lackawana
couit'y. where the clerk of quarter sessions j
bad certified to tiie election of one man
and the pro'honotary of thesamecoiinty the :
election of another man. Tbe Attorney '
General holds that it is the duty of the :
election officers to make return of tbe elec- :
t:on for justices of tlie peace to both the
pnt honotary and the clerk of quarter ses- ;
sions of ea h county ; and tliat the pro-
thonotary only is required to certify the j
names of the persons elected to the Secretary
of the Commouwealth. Tlie election officers !
make no return to tbe tiovemor, although
in some counties, nnder a misapprehension
of tbe Attorney General's opinUm, tliey are
doing so. The wt of 1X requiring uu re- j
turns direct to the Governor was repealed
by the act of lo0.

From the McCook, Xeb.. Trdiynt weelip
the following, which may or may not ha of
interest tq farmers; : A farmer up in Madison
County thinks lie has found a sure prevent
ive against the death of hogs, by the a
calied " chulera)." II? ei:.laiiu it thus : Be
tween tlie fruit teeth and the grinders there
is spaue of two or three inches, and iq this
tpaoe under tbe g'4m of every 'Lseased bog
will be found a Ducket uf pxiiaiinutu sub
stance. To remove this taka a ooal chisel
and hammer and cut this buttle of poison
out. He says that previous to adopting this
device be had lost Ti bogs, but ad nee adopting
it be has not lost a single hog, and those of
his neighbors wbo have tried tlie same oper
ation report the same favorable results. As
even'thing else has proved worthless, it cer
tainly will not be very expensive to make
the experiment."'
Xewly elected Justices of the Peace should
Cle their acceptance with the rrolhonotary
immediately, or within thirty days after
election, setting fov.b who tbey succeed and
caase of vacancy,' otherwise Ibeir ' election
becomes null ami' void. '

How Doe the Reading Stand ?
Since tbe South Pennsylvania revival thgre
has been a good deal of speculation as to the
position of the Reading company under its
present management. Go wan was at the
head of the Reading whea the alliance was
formed between tlie two com anies, bat Aus
tin Corbin, who b now president, is said to
be a friend of the, Pennsylvania. O.ie of the
a ewspaper organs of tbe Pennsylvania thus
pictures tie situation :
Although a traffic contract exists between
the South' Penn and the Reading tliere is n
much chance of its being enlurced aguinst
the will of the Reading otSciais. Tlie ReaJ-
ing lias sccored all tbe real estate needed to
provide a connection at Harrisburg. It is
understixd one of tbe first things to be done
will be to construct the bridge across the S.is-
quehatma to Harrisburg, the piers of which
are airvadv built and so form a connection
with tbe Harrisburg and Potomac, a line
owned by tbe Reading, which has its ter
minus at present a few miles distant from
tbe river. Before tba original South Penn
syndicate stopped work ail the plans had
been arranged for tbe completion of the Har
risburg & Potomac to the bridge and for a
connection over the bridge with the KeadoigJ
system, emce toe wore nas oeen stopped a
a connection has been made between the
Harrisburg and Potomac and the Western
Maryland at Shippensburg. so that with tiie
completion of the bridge and consummation
of the contemplated connection the Reading
would have direct access to the coal field of
Western Maryland. The Western Maryland
road has also acquired possession of the old
Eichelberger system of rail row Is about Hall
ow and Gettysburg, and is in a position by
the construction of about ten miles of roaJ
to reach tbe bridge and thus form a new line
front Harrisburg to Baltimore. This had i
been ia contemplation before the old yn li- j
cate suspended operations. It w.'jS to elT.-t I
these connections that the construction of
tlie bridge was pushed by the South Penn,
as it was reoogniznl that this part of the en
terprise would thus be prwlucing revemp

A Eurjesa Sensible Act.
EorroK IIlt : The JoiinMnwn Council
on Jan can 31st pasred an ordinance preven
ting costing on any of the streets in tlx bor
ough,, which the Burgees returned with a
veto. Among the misoiis he assigned fur
cut approving tbe act. his message contained
the tuiiowiiuc : Tiiere are only fimr or I3ve
s n e j in the bjroogh w here coasting is prac
ticed, ami out of tbe fi.ly-two weeks ia
year there are not
four weeks of coaatiag
weather. The parties engaged ia this recrea
tion are boys and girls of school aje, and I
caa see no ream why they shoo id be pre
vented fruai enjoying a phasajit and health-
fu; exercise-
The veto was the subject of much discea-
sion at the meeting of tbe Council on Feb.
2tst ; and, although, the ordinance had pass
ed by a large majority in January . the mo
tion to carry it, the Burgess' objections Jo
tbe contrary notwithstanding, rosi veil only
three votes tbe other nine being cast in the
negative.
Sensible burgess, and sensible Council in
taking the sooer second thought, and acting
accor.bng'y. Which reminds m to say,
that the same can't be said of the action tak
en by our Council a.id retiring Burgess.
Though young in years they seem old in
thoughts. A little intHicent and healthful
recreation on th part of the young or old
seems in their eyes to be a subject requiring
a prohibitory law.
Ah, but says one. coasting is da-grrous.
Yes. and so is bj'l-playiag. skatin-j, riding
on trains, and in buggips, and in !-ih. and i
sometimes walking. One slight acrilent on j
Main street, during tlie winter, seemed to .'
cail out intense ojjviti'.n to coasting frr.m !
very prematurely old man in town: and)
forthwith trie wisicres who rr.n the town '
must have a prohibitory law passed. '
The statistics of accidents the present win-
ter thro iilioul tiie country show that wl.-re j
one perstin was injured by coasting. Jortv
were injured by walking. If every little '
accident happening calls for a r.rohihitorv !
