Several small boys mad a ghastly dlsror ery Friday afternoon while they were at plsy oc a lot in the east end of town. In an old wooden box, under a heap of rubbish, they came across the bones of an arm and leg from a fully matured human body. Tbe la is were startled at the tight, and soon made the discovery knows to Dr. Masser, who visited the lot and made an examina tion. He found the bones a stated. The ' fuiger and toe nails were still attached to them, as Was more or leas badly decomposed fiesh. The Dr. thinks tbe bones are from a body that has probably been dead for eight tren months or two years. Saturday after noon District-Attorney Ilerkey bad the bones removed to 'Squire Casebeer's office, believ ing that an investigation should be made in order to determine bow the bones came to be exhumed and how they fooad their way into tbe lot where they were discovered. Nothing was done, however, and tbe Justice had the bones interred. The generally accepted theory as to how the bones came to be in the place wnere they were found is that they were the property of a young medical student who lived in that neighborhood a year or two ago. He proba bly had bought part of a stiif " from city resurrectionists in order to more thoroughly ly ppx-ecnle his studies in anatomy. A sto ry is current on the streets that tbe bones were found in an old dough-tray by a young mac named Say lor, who recently moved in to the old McAfee house, and at he did not care to bare any such grewsome articles about his home be carelessly threw them in to the rubbish pile.

The following article, from a recent num ber of the Johnstown Herald, has been re printed by several Somerset county papers. The article throughout is misleading. Pro ducers of maple sugar can have their pro duct weighed and inspected at their conveni ence and can d.spose of it at their pleasure. So better evidence can be offered that the law has beeu working successfully and that the farmers of Somerset county nave not beeu slow to take alvantare of the bounty provided by Act of Congress, lhaa to quote the number wbo were granted license last season and this. In li'2 1VJ liceuses to manufacture maple S':gr were granted to producers in Somerset county, SLgainst "1 granted ia 1?'3. Last year there were only four licensed sugar pro d.icen outside of Somerset county ia the J3d Internal Revenue D.sirict and this year tbe number has beo increased to H. "The maple sugar bounty aw does not seem to be s success, and the farmers in this and Somerset counties who had hailed it with deliirht, thinking it would increase their curlers, now speak of its operations with dis gust. Tbey say that it ia more trouble and expense to compiy with tbe provisions of the law than it is worth. Tbe law gives a bounty of two cent a pound, but ia order to claim this sum the producer mast hsve the sugar examined by the inspector. This requires the producer to keep all his stock on hand until tbe inspect or calls. In order to lay soy claim to the bounty, the producer mast file an applica tion that he intends to apply for the bounty. and a lot of red la. e that most be gone through wilh is very aaaoy.ag to the farm ers. But the worst feature is that the practical operations ot tbe law prevent tbe tanner from dpviagof his products at his pleas ure. Ail of his manufacture must be kept oa hand until the inspector comes aruunX I which in many cases is weeks after it is ready for market. Ia the meantime those who do not wait on the bounty dispose of their product at a good price, while, by the time the one has gone through the process of procuring the bouaty, be fiads his pro duct deteriorated and the price declined so thit he receives less money wilh the bounty added than if he would have sold at bis pleasure without waiting CO comply with the law to get the boon'y. Then the caniii- catioQ and affidavits required are very an noying to the c mntry people not tued to following legal forms. A prominent Richland Township farmer said to-day that be knew half a oaten per sons in his neighborhood wbo bad received the bounty last year, and this year not one of tbem bad applied. His own experience. be saiX was enough to satisfy him that, no matter how weil the intention of the law may have been, it did not work well in prac tice. Last year the inspector was delayed some time in getting to hi district and be missed the chance of selling his sugar at a price much m.-e than tbe price he finally received with the bounty addeX Tbe opin ion among the farmer i general that this kind of paternalism by the government is a fraud. Tbi has been an exceptionally good sugar year in this section. For the past ten days the flow has been almost constant, and those wbo have large camps are kept hustling very Lively. Tbe product of the season is already much larger than in most years, while tbe prospect is favorable for several good run yet." Ladies' Wraps.

I woald take it as tbe main object of your inquiry that you are seeking from the county officers of the State a correct quarterly return of all moneys and fees received by them, in order that you can intelligently, at the end of the year, from the reports of tbe auditors appointed by the Courts, make s proper settlement between these county officer and the Commonwealth, This being the object. I would advise you that you re quire each county officer in the Common wealth to keep a daily acaouat of all money and fees received by them in their respective offices."

The trial of the famo-ns murder csfe of Thomas Morgan and his thrfe sisiers wss taken up at Wynesbarr, Thursday. Tbe matter was disposed of in less than two hour.

A romance of unusually unfortunate and pathetic detail was discovered when two de tectives lrom Toronto, Cansiia, discovered in Mr. and Mrs. A-a itorr the relationship of brother and sister and the heirs to a fortune left by a relative of Mrs. Barr's dei -eased mother by adoption. Twenty -five years ago two waiis, brother and sister, were abandoned by German im migrants at Castle Garden. They were le gally adopted, one by a man named Asa Barr, the other by a Mrs. Evans. The latter moved soon afterwards to Philadelphia, where she brought up ber adopted daugh ter, giving her a g-xxl education. Twenty years later tbe boy, grown to man boo-J, moved also to Philadelphia, where he fol lowed the trade of a painter. Chance drew tbe brother and sister together and they were married. During tbe late strike tbey moved to Homestead, where Barr found em ployment. Tbe adopted daughter of Mrs. Evans re cently became an fcwress to considerable property in Canada. Detectives were sent to trace the heiress, and in their investiet tion discovered the true relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Barr to be that of brother and sister. The terrible know'.eile prostrated Mrs. Barr and her husband is grief-stricken. No issue has resulted from their marrisge. Le gal proceedings will be instituted to sever the marriage bond, and the couple will leave for London, ntario, to claim tbe fortune.

Mr. Harry Bender is building himself a fine bouse in this village and will occupy it the beginning ol Jaly. - r. Charles Sny der, wbo lately took unto himse'f a wife, will occupy the houe which will be vacat ed by Mr. Render. The Sunday School at this pla is boom ing since the weather is pleasanter. It bad dwindled down somewhat during the rough weather of the winter. This is ooe of tbe largest, if not the largest, Su.ad.iy Schools in the county. I understand it is the desire of the e leni tive committee to hold the Lutheran Sun day School Convention at tbis place the coming June. The question was submitted to the members on last Sabbath and it seem ed ss though some th"U'ht Friclns was fa vored a lit'Ie tix much ia having Lutheran county gatherings, having had the Sundoy School reuaion the pist two rears and now tbe convention, as only a small per cenUge voted in iavor of enterts;.nin the conven tion. But I will vouch for it that if the committee think proper to make this the place every one will be welcoma and will be weil taken care of. Our Reformed brethren had their new church dedicated and all piid for, but while holding their second services their pastor got tick while conducting the services and remained at this place one week, when he was removed to his home ia Stoyestown,' where bis wife was also coaCsed, suffering with rheumatism The lajt reports are that Rev.

The committee of lawyers to which Jadge Brubaker. of Lancaster county, referred a number of accounts from the offices ot the Prothonotary, Register of Wills and Clerk ot the Orphans' Coart has filed exceptions to charges in about eighty of the accounts. The fee system did well enough wbej the county wss young, but it bas long been out grown and ou'ht to be abolished altogether. It is open to abuse oo the part of the officials and creates suspicion that are tome times on just oa the part of the public It gives to demagogues a chance to cut a figure before the people and it is objectionable al together and ought to be done away with. That part of the public which is loudest in its complaints of a Sheriff's charge for mile age in serving a warrant is always on hand to claim the utmost mileage possible for witness fees, and men have been known to protest that the Sheriff's charges were too large and their own witness allowance too small, when both allowances were made on precisely the same mileage basis.
