Is there another school house in the coun ty, that has been opened for this year's work, with last year's filth reigning supreme? un washed windows, and unscrubed floors. Is it any wonder that parents who try toon serve sanitary laws in their homes hesitate to send their little ones into such disease creating places. Nothing short of a special Providence can save us from the fever and diphtheria that are making desolate so many homes in neighboring towns and cities. God does not interfere with bis fixed laws. He who transgresses pays the penalty. If the school treasury is not sufficient to pay for having each room thoroughly scrubbed and cleanest not less than once a month. there certainly can be found enough parents who will gladly give twenty live cents a month to have their children breathe an atmosphere less foul. That arising from fif.y or sixty breaths, and tbe lack of clean liness in clothing, must necessariiy be taint ed, enough from day to day, without the accumulation of impurities arising every time the school moves, to be breathed over again week after week and month after contb. So long as soap and water remains in the land the neglect to nse them seems almost criminal. IsnnKSTED. Somerset Sept. Jirtb, lSfO. Marriage of James B. O'Conner. The wedding of James B.

An Acre and a Half of Dry Goods. Our readers who have recently been in Pittsburgh couldn't help observe the large red stone front building on Fifth avenue, towering, as it does, above all its surround ings, and impressing the beholder with its fine architectural style and taste. This im mense structure was reared on tbe old site, burowl down ia loo7, and, singularly enough, is occupied for the same porpoee and by tbe same parties. The upper floors of this grand and costly building are occu pied by the Masonic- brethren, while tbe three lower floors are used by Campbell A Dick, the well known dry goods firm, whoae advertisements are in another column of this pejier. Not only Jo Campbell t Dick require the three lower floors of this lar?e front building, but in the rear, and connect ed with the front building, tbey have a still larger building cf their own eight stories and basement all of which they use' for their immense business. For nearly 20 yars these gentlemen have occupied this same stand, and their trade has grown, like the ciiy itaelf, to wonderful proportions. Thia atore is now one wf the sights of the city, and Wb wholesale and retail goods of tbe finest and best character and of every description can he hail. Silks, dress goods, shawls, cloaks, autta, millinary, trimmings, notons, laces, ribbons, gloves, hosiery, gents' furnishing good?, infants' wear, blankets, flannel, tahie linens, shirtings, mualin, hoys' clothing, and their handsome and unique display in the Exposition will give you some idea of their carjts, lace curtains and upholstery deiiartnienti", which are very large and complete. In fact, almost any thing you can think of, and in such super abundance of style, price and variety, as to be almost bewildering. This store is finely arranged and elegantly furnished, and is by long odila the largest and finest store in tbe city, tbe floor space being one and a half acres. This firm mark all their goods in plafu figures aod have only one price. The clerks will be found to be polite and court eous, and while ever ready to show goods, are not allowed to importune customers to buy. The firm guarantee that no advantage will be taken because of inexperience in buying, to that child can buy just as well as the most experienced. We can heartily advise a visit to (hi store, as it is well worth seeing, and yon will find it an exhibition in itself. - . .. - Electric Light In Somerset.

Hicks, who is considered first authority, In the IfVU and Wurkt gives the following weather forecasts for October: October should open with cool, bright weather prevailing in most parts of the coun try. Heavy frosts, with some sharp freezing will be a most natural result during the nights tiding ns from September into Octo ber. On the 2d and 3d a sharp and sudden rise in temperature, followed by stonninesa, may be looked for, and by the time the high er temperature and storm touch the East another blast from the north and west will have advanced past tbe middle of tbe conti nent. About the 7th it will begin to tarn quite warm, with soft skies and southerly cur rents, which condition will grow unless storms of marked energy ahow themselves on danger days 8th, 0th, and 10. Meteoro logical laws will compel a period of three to four days of sharp freezing and frost after these storms, which condition will break down progressively from west to east on and next to the 13th and 15th. Warm, south erly winds, with reactionary storms, will be the result followed again by the regular cold wave. ...... As we approach the 20th, eyes trained to meteorological changes will note the gather ing elements of approaching storms. Higher temperature, tilling barometer, easterly to southerly win-Is storms! The 20th, 2lst, and 22d are the days in the period against which we would especially warn our read ers. There is noticeable tendency to stonni nesa in the regions of the northern lakes about this time, and the approaching pertur bation of Venus, together with other causes, will likely aggravate this tendency at this time into violent movements. Thedays fol lowing up to reactionary movements about the 2th and 27th ought to be crisp and cold, and freezing generally lo northward. A storm period in which A'ulcan, Mercu ry, and Venus are directly concerned, begins about the last day of October. Tba month will go out with rising temperature and threatening indications, if not active storms, to the west. There is a longer and harder winter before us than last. Let ns see. Meantime, what harm can come from careful preparation for a col-ier winter ami for a drier, hotter sura met to follow?

The corner-stone of the new Reformed church at Bethel, Pa., was laid on the 17th inst. Services in tbe forenoon and afternoon. At 10:30, sermon by the pastor, Rev. L N. Buger; at 2:30 Rev. H. King, of Somerset preached a sermon appropriate to the occa sion. A large congregation was present. All of these services were held in the C. B. church. After the sermon in the afternoon the con gregation marched to the foundation of the new church, where the corner stone was placed with appropriate services. The congregation consists cfbut sixteen members and their activity in building a church, shows how much can be accom plished by nnited effort. When completed, the church will be an ornament to tbe town and a blessing to our Reformed Zion. Rev. Mr. Earhart, of the Evangelical Lutheran church, was also present and par ticipated in the services. Over one hundred dollars was subscribed on the day of the corner-stone laying. The future of tbe Reformed church in this place is very flattering. Very truly, I. X. Bcbues, Jesxcb X Roads, Sept, 20, 1300.
