The ladies in tbe waiting room of the Pennsylvania Railroad station Saturday momirg witnessed a pptctacle that touch d their frelicgs and evoked many expressions of sy . pe t h v. A pretty young woman was the cestral figure in the iaciuect- She ry times sang, gtsticnlatrd wildly, cried out as if in pain, muttered indistinguishable namer, and called upon her attendants two xoer, one of whom fat on either side of her to render her impcss.ibie services. Servots and fretful, she seemed incapable of a no ment's quiet or rest. It was noticed, how ever, by those who happened near her, that she was an exceptionally handsome young woman, with (air complexion, dark eyes and hair, and very regular features. Inquiry concerning the unfortunate lady revealed ihe fact that her name ia Lizzie Shaffer. She is about twenty-two years of age. Her father Hiram Shaffs r, sow de ceased was a well-known resident ofShade Tawnahip, Somerset Count.-. Her mother still resides in tbe old homestead. Tp to Tuesday La-it liaale was as happy and merry a young woman as the neigh borhood could boast. She was intelligent and bright aad sf favorite cf all who knew Ler. On that day she joined a company of folks to jonroey in sled to Jonts Weaver's, where a sale was to lake place. On Ihe way the sled was njfet in a snow-drift and the occupants thrown out. All suffered consid erably and Lizzie was attacked with a severe chill. She was taken to the home cf Mr. Weaver in Paint township, near Scalp Level, and there she became quite ill. oon thereafter her friends were pained to oheerve thegiv ir.g way of her mental faculties. IV. Lother was called, but his ciinisUations afforded her no relief, and she grew rapidly worse. Sometimes she was almost ran contrail able, wh.le at others she waa quits calm sang, and talked to imaginary callers. Among the names frequently mentioned by her was that of Mr. Christ Blough, who lives at the Red Bridge, a short distance south of this city. .He had been in ber company on seve ral occasions, and in her dehrinm she seem ed to have h.s rretence constantly before her. The Doctor, realizing that the young wo man was in a serious condition and needed special treatment, advised tbat she be taken to a hospital for the insaue. Arrangements were accordingly made for herj admission to the Slate Asylum at Uaniibnrg, the neces sary papers being taken oct before 'S-juire Miller, of the Seventh Ward, this city, cn application of Samuel Weaver, a relative by marriage. She was brought to town this morning in a sled, her brother J.aeph 6haffer and Messrs. Jacob Weaver, Samuel Weaver. Dr. Lather, and Isaac Shaffer accompanying hei. During the journey to the city aLe was carefully attended by her brother. She was tractable aad sang most of the way, tut sometimes required to be held. Upon ar riving here the party visited the office of Dr. G. E. Conrad and consulted him as to ber condition. He concurred in what Dr. Lu'ber advised aad said that by proper treatment she will likely recover her reason.

This, he thinks, will include the paying by the State of a'l eipenees inci dental to the conducting of the courts throughout the Stale and the payment of certain expenses of the public schools out side of the annual appropriations made. Other legislators have been talking the mat ter over, and ail concluded that as the State is rich, and baa nu a-e for the money, large sums coavanlly lying i lls, there should Ue every etTtrt made in every direction to re d j-e local taxstion. Tae returns to tbe local authorities of portions of tbe liquor license and other taxes was the first move to help in the re i notion of local taxes, and now that the State is out of debt there is no reason why the bounty (if It may so be rail ed; of the State should not be en'argsL Millinery !

LOCAL FINANCES I A WORD WITH YOU. FELLOW CITIZENS- Be On Your Guard. Or You'll Be tn Debt. Hifrli Taxes and Poor Sohools. lo view of the fact that three members of council are to be elected at the approaching February election, and that Republicans will make their nomi rations for borough offices within the next few days, we deem it wise to offer a few suggestions to our fellow Republicans ia regard to the kind of men to place ia Domination. Tbe office of councilman Is one of grave r espont irailily under existing circa mstaaces. The present coury-d have labored Car a year with the question of introducing a system of waterworks for our town. Taey have expended a round sum of the tax payer's money, and are just as far from a solution of the problem as tbey were when tbey were inducted into ofaloe. Four members of the present council were elected on the distinct issue of furnishing a water supply at the expense of the borough corporation. After mouths of investigation three members of tbat body saw laatt it was impractical, if Dot absolutely out of the question, to invest tbe ownership of water works in the bor ouyh. Their brethren in council disagreed with them and there the matter rests. Ale the people of Somerset ready to put $ia,U00 into the dangerous experiment of in troducing water at the expense cf the bor ough corporation? The matter m ist be ex perimental no matter by whom it is under taken. Are they willing to obligate the property of every poor man or woman in the town in an attempt to secure that which is hazardous, if not entirely beyond their reach with tbe resources at hand 7 And above all are they willing to entrust the ex penditure of so large a sum of money to a council that is divided? Think of this, we beg, before committing yourself. Admit for the sake of the argument tbat our town can ' equipped with a water sup ply, how many families can afford to enjoy the benefits of it, no matter how low the toi's are? Li it not manifest that only the wealthier claa of our citizens could alTjrd to enj y the luxuries that water alone can briog to their homes ! A large per centage of this class have their homes supplied with water from private sources, and would be row to intro duce it from any other source especially if it should cost more than tbey now pay. The experien of our neighbors is well worth considering in this light. Meyersdaie has practically no water supply and the owners of the water company in that town have not got a " fig-mill.'1 Bedford's water supply is notoriously unsttisfaciory and ex pensive. The cilizns of Fruetburg. Md., are paying interest on a large sum of money expended in a vain attempt to bring water iato that growing town. It dues seem to ns that the only practical solution of this vexed question is the adop tion of Mr. Ogle's resolution (published in these columns a short time ago) submitted to Council, offering to obligate lbs brough for a fixed amount aaouaily for a short term of years to a responsible person o r company who will furnish a sufficient wa ter supply lor fire proie.'tion, reserving the privilege of purchasing the pla.t for a speci fied sum at the expiration of a certain period. Now, if this is to be d me, we want men in council who have the best interests of our town at s'ake, who have bad large experi ence in businaM affairs, and who are brave and strong enough to withstand the carping criticism of the shallow pated fellows who rn no real estate aad pay no municipal x. With the resourjes at hand tin brou.r,i has all it can do to pay for having the streets properly lighted, policed and kept clean ; to say nothing of tbe large expenditure it would require to put them in fit condition. Elect business men council men aad the water question will soon settle itseif. scaooL PtaXeTOBS. It is sad indeed to be compelled to admit that tbe schools of Somerset borou-a are inferior to those of Ursina, Berlin aaj Sal isbury. Such ia the case, however, and wiil continue to be so until directors are elected who have the future welfare cf the children of the town, moie than the power of reward ing favorites, at heart. We do Dot wish lo be m ia understood in this matter. Our primary departments are probably in as good hands as it is possible to place them, but the coarse of study in the advanced d-partment bas been lowored instead of advanced, to the in calcuahle detriment of the schools. Somer set is the leading town of tbe county in re any ways, and o!r.j to Ice la-,-t cum ber of ppfirs4iona' men who reside here it should he the educational centre.- Our ethools, by every method of reaouing, should be the best in the county and do good excuse ran be, offered for their not be ing so. We are glad to state that several members of the present board ol directors endeavored to raise the standard of our schools last fa'l but were outvoted by a raai irity of the board. The financial interests of the school dis trict have been even re shauieftjltjp treated than the schools. Aa annual building tax. running from thne to ciuren niiils. has been assessed and collected during ihe past ten years, in order to ra et a debt that should have been liquidated several years a,"X The truth of the matter is tha! when the UcaaLD called attention to the ajis-maaa-ement of the school funds a year ag. (here was not a member of the school board who knew what the amount of the school indebted ness was or who held ihe school bonds. Some of the very best men about the town have filled the ofii-e of school director, but experience bas shown that they will not at tend to the duties tyr which they were elect ed. They rarely jf ey.er visit the schools, re entirely ignorant of their sanitary con dition and scrrot.n; ngs. Have not the faintest conception of h jw teachers are per forming their duties and ot the progress be ing made. Such men commit a grievous wrong when they pernil their fiictads to elect thero school directors. Jf they do not intend lo perform the duties of the of!; e conscientiously they bad far Le"ter remain in private I i f Va. Tbe school dirvolor is the most important of our municipal of2 Jera. To him is tn tmsted the welfare of every child in the dis trict sad he is re-ponsib'.e in a great meas ure for the happiness or a reck of every life entrained to his care. His authority in matters appertaining to the schools is al most unlimited. He fixes ihe rate of tail lion, limits the number of schools, selects the course of stu ly, sets the standard for graduation, elects t esc hers, looks after the school property, etc. With bit very few exc"p:ions every boy and girl in Somerset will receive all the edu cation he will ever get ia the public schools. Few parents are so happily situated that they can afford to send their children to some private institution of learning upon completing tl-e course arranged for our schools, and it is the children of the majori ty and not of the few wbo are the sufferers from the lax system to long in vogue In this town. This is not the first time the Hiiilo has sounded a noleof -warning in re-ird to the affairs of our school district, and we hope that parents wbo have affection (or and pridi in the advancement of their chil dren, will act npoo oar suggestion and make aa effort to elect two directors at the com ing election who will perform the duties of that high ofSce-faithfully and conscientious ly. Other boroej-j oSjces-ihose to which some emolument is attached are aa a rule filled by capable and conscientious men. Get Your Gun ! Winchester. Colt, Mariin, Remington ana Flofcert Rifles.

There are t boee wbo tgnorantiy ted ns with much show cf learning tbat Pennsyl vania Dutch is no language, but ia a mere corruption of normal German after its arri val in America : that a Pennsylvania Ger man knows nothing about German litera ture or the High Ccrmsa tongue, and a na tive of C-crmacy cannot understand the Eastern Pennsylvania dialect ; thalitisa mere not-desenpt patois or vuig ir lingo un worthy cf biting learned and unworthy of beiog tailed a Ianuae. Now, says the Lebanon Brport, it is not the language of German literature, to be sure. It is not tbe language of the Germ in school a Ic is not the language of Luther or of G lethe or of Hucgel. It ia at best oaly a spoken lan guage. But who that speaks tbe English tongue speaks like Addiaoo, Maoaulay or Shakespeare ? Il ia a Language, and it is tha German language. Pennsylvania D itch, it must be admitted, is today more Lke the German of Luther than the English of to-day is bke tbe Anglian of Chautxr. Is mJera English then mere eorro ptioa of normal Enefish after its arrival in this eoantry T Pennsylvania Dutch is the ordinary collo quial speech of the German people with the corners rubbed off. As the rounded pebble at the bottom of the brock, though the sharp edges have worn smooth, is still s stone. Of as a tree stripped cf iu foliage by the frosts of autumn still remains a tree, so the trunk and the branches'of tbe German Language are found to day in our Pennsylvania Dutch. It ia a mixture of the South German dialects brought from the region of tbe Upper Rhine, including Switzerland, with a considerable infusion of English words, it is true, but what of that ? Are there no foreign words ia other languages? Are there no English words ia tbe Higa German ? Turn to the German's dictionary, and glancing down but one letter you find der Accent, der Artikel, der Agent, die Astronomie. der Alarm, die A J-Jrese?, Ambition, derAppetit, Anekiote, das Argument, der Architect, die Arilhmelik, der Aristocrat, and hundreds of others throughout the al phabet. It is not so mu h the infusion of new words therefor, nor the detrition of words through dialectic use, as the uncon scious attempt lo transfer the spirit and structure of one language into another that gives rise to tbe awkward provincialisms we have been studying from time to time.

Time and agaia s story has been repeated to the effect that Sand Spring water stock pays the f jrtunate holders twelve per cent "j oa their investment. As the story appears to have found credence not on'y abroad bat at home, the lUiUtrr interviewed one of the stockholders and elicited the following io rbrmation : At the end of the first year's business the company declared a dividend of six per cent. A year Later it was found that the re ceipts did not warrant a six per cent divi dend. As a matter of fact none was daciar- ed until after the rents kit tbe first term of the eoauicg year were available. At the close of the third year the same device was resnrted to, so that with the exception of a single year the stock has never yielded evea six per cent., to say nothing of twelve per cent. The same gentleman, when asked wheth er he considered Sand Spring stock a desira ble investment, replied that it might become so in time, provided an ample water supply as procured. To do that, be esti mated, ould require a total outlay of 0.M), in cluding the t.XV) already invested. He did not, therefore, consider the prospect of immediate returns as at ail fl altering. la race, tae Oeciarex were it not trial we are 'in it' and have some local pride ia making it a success, I for one should be glad to with draw from tbe enterprise and invest rev money elsewhere. People w ho have an idea that this stuck ia gilt-edged, simply kno nothing about it, and should thank their lucky stars their capital is not tied up in it. That s a taie with a different moral from the one we've been accustomed to hearing about the water " bonanza." We commend its consideration to sundry of our Somerset friends who believe water works ought to be owned and operated by the town. THE jSTHTSV YOEK WEEKLY HERALD ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR!
