Berkey attended the Snyder County Teachers' Institute last week. Prof. Berkey's services are greatly in de mand by institutes all over the State, but owing to home duties he has only been able to fill a limited number of engage ments this season. Word conies from Wellersburg that Ksquire Michael Long, of that place, who was seriously injured some time ago by a horse falling on him, is critically ill and that his life is despaired of. M r. iong is oue of the leading citizens of the south of the county and enjoys a wide acquaint ance. Saturday and Sunday a report was cur rent on the streets that Frank Poleinan, confined in the county jail awaiting trial on a charge of horse stealing had died Friday night and had lieen Imried the following afternoon. This is a mistake. Poleinan is a very sick man, but is in no immediate danger of dying. Hon. A. J. Colborn, who was elected District Attorney at the November elec tion, took the bath of office in open court yesterday morning. He will not enter upon his official duties until January 1st. M r.

Among other welcome callers at the Hkrai.d office Monday was Mr. W.J. Lichty, of Salisbury. Mr. Llehty is a wounded veteran, but his disability does not prevent his engaging in active busi ness, and he is one of the hustlers of the ancient village from which he hails. He came to Somerset much cguiust his incli nations to serve as a juror. A correspondent writing from Listie says that a party of young ladiesand gen tlemen from Pleasant Hill visited Beach dale, Brothersvalley township, last Sat urday evening and gave an entertain ment in the Grange Hall at that place, which was highly enjoyed by a large and enthusiastic audience.

As the Captain w as elected Justice of the Peace by his fellow townsmen and the olliees of Justice and postmaster are incompatible he has resigned the former oilice. It is not probablethat Governor Hastings will lie asked to name a new Justice for IVr- lin, inasmuch as the vai-aney will lie fill ed at the coming February election.

While hunting a short time ago he saw asquirrel go into its neft, built amwig the branches of an oak tree, and fired a load from his shot gun after it Much to his surprise seven squirrels dropped to the ground, all kill ed by the single shot. The eighth squir rel in the nest had oue of iu legs shot aw ay and was afterw ards despatched by Mr. Brant. The announcement made in l:t week's IlKRAl-Pof George K. Parker's intention to retire from the mercantile business caused much surprise in local commer cial circles. Mr. Parker has been prom inently identified with the commercial interests of this cminty for almost hulfa century, having succeeded to the business upon the death or his father, the late George Parker. His course has been en tirely voluntary and was dictated by a desire to be relieved of the cares ofa large business. No firm in Somerset county has established a larger trade in its line or enjoys a more enviable reputation for square "dealing than the firm of Parker A Parker aud the many friends oHbe senior partner will regret that he has made up his mind to retire to the walks of private life. Hoah FleUW Tails of EU Eeeant Ex. rienea With a Sliek Oat. Mr. Noah Pletcher, of Somerset coun ty, recently had an experience with a bunco man, and now tells the time of day by the position of Old Sol in the lieav eus. Pletcher told his tale while stop ping at the Brooks House, Normal ville, about two weeks ago. Here it is: A man who gave his name as W. II. Shank, called on Pletcher at his home. He rep resented himself as an agent drumming up the sale of buggies, carts, bicycle, sew ing machine, etc Pletcher was not iu tho market for any of these articles. The stranger theii asked the time of day, and when informed by Noah that his watch was broken, the hair spring hav ing slipped a cog, Shsnk volunteered to repair it, explaining that be was also a watch tinker. It just happened, though, that he had left his tools at his office, one d.Kir altove the shoemaker's shop at Nor manville, and if Pletcher wished, he would take the watch there, repair it and make return in a couple days. The man gave good references at Normanville, and Pletcher handed him over the watch He is still looking for it to be returned The fellow also took the miller off Mrs. Pleteher's sewing machine, promising to repair and return it with the watch. To make himself more solid he offered 23 rents a pound for butter and ?l for tur keys delivered at Normalvillo. Pletcher brought a load of produce hero expect ing to sell it to Shank on these terms. and it was not till then that he knew he had lieen swindled.

The carp w all.)' in tho bottom of the dams and keep tho water muddy all tho time, lcside giving it a fishy flavor that would tempt the most radical Prohibitionist to break his pledge. The basins are literally alive wilh tho fish, the water pipes are full of them, and the taste of them is enhanced to an in tolerable degreo by adding ice or lioiling the water. The company has tried dyna mite and various other plans to get rid of the fishy pests but w ithout success, ami are willing to try any feasible idea that may Is? suggested, regariIle- of the ex nense it involves, if only tho desired re sult is obtained. The increased supply of water, caused by the recent rains has had a tendency to reduce the fishy taste somewhat, but not enough to satisfy the average consumer. Clearance Sale of Wraps.

' Now, the Dr. has an extensive acquaintance throughout western Pennsylvania, and many of his friends, who knew him to be a confirmed bache lor, were deceived by this report and forwarded their congrat ulations. In fa-l the Dr.'s daily mail con tained entirely too many letters of this description and he was forced to ask the Tims to retract its statement and an nounce that he is still enjoying the plea sures of liachclorhood.

Tk Loser by Ambrose. The misdoings of City-Solicitor Am brose, of A 1 toons, are coming to light. Some time ago Sylvester Bender drew fl.,X2 from a Building Association and gave it to Mr. Ambrose to satisfy a mort gage against his property. Instead of doing this ho appropriated the money for hisown use, and Mr. Bender still has tho mortgage on his property, as well as the money to pay back to the Building Association. Ambrose also secured as in dorse rs on his note Sheriff Bell for fTOO, Ex-s;herift Hughes forfiiO, James Flynn for 1,000, and B. M. Bunker for 400, and these gentlemen have all been called upon to pay over the money. The three Building Associatlous of which Mr. Ambrose was Solicitor are carefully going over their accounts, but no results have as yet lieen announced. One Philadelphia Surety Company is on Ambrose's bond for $.1,000 and his j properties are incumbered to their full value over $.10,000. A numlierof prom- j inent Eastern business bouses with' whom be was'doing business will also j lose many thousand dollars. Chief-of-Police Cherry is sending a cir cular to the various polico agencies throughout the country, asking for infor mation as to Ambrose's whereabouts. He is said in this circular to have wan dered from his home "while suffering from mental aberration," aud this de scription is given : "About five feet eleven inches in bight, forty years old, dark, sallow complexion, dark hair and eyes; the eyes are deep set, and generally half closed. He is ad dicted to the use of some opiate, which gives him a sleepy appearance. He talks in a drawling, monotonous tone. When last seen he was dressed iu a dark cut away coat, pin-striped pants kersey overcoat with velvet collar, silk hat, aud enameled patent-leather shoes; wore a diamond Masonic emblem as a scarf pin."

The State board of agriculture has re jected the appropriation of ?-1,0iW made by the last legislature for the payment of the traveling and other necessary expen ses of its memliers the next two years. A vote was taken by mail on the ques tion as to the acceptance of this money and the returns have just been received. (inly three of the fifty-seven meuiliers voted to re-eive tho money aud discon tinue the organization. The members of tbo board will bear their own expenses in attendance upon the semi-annual meetings and ask the next legislature to reimburse them. By refusing to accept the appropriation the board will remain intact. The act passed by the last legislature creating the de partment of agriculture was intended to alsilish the board by retiring one-third of its membership annually. But the board can continue its own existence by refus ing the appropriation and tho members paying their own expenses. Governor Hastings will continue to serve as ex -officio president and secreta ry. It is questionable if the executive will appoint the three members allowed by law. He has not yet filled the vacan cy caused by the death of Colonel James Young, of Middletown, last winter. The annual meeting will be held in the su preme court chamber, Harrisburg, Jan uary 25-2u.

"Iu the course of his remarks" says the Jm-lil, "he said he came from a town of four thousand inhabitants, which enjoy cd the advantages of prohibition under 1 local-option law. There was some liquor 30I J by the drug stores aud some was shipped in, but there were children there twelve years of age who did not know what a saloon w as. He thought the re peal of all license laws would le an im provement on the present system. He was opposed to licensing a few men for a consideration to engage in the lianeful traffic." The journal adds: "Dr. Johnson has been a citizen of Butler but a short time, but long enough to have made many friends, and his earnest, impas sioned sermons have made a deep im pression upon his congregation."

A B. ; same vs. same, rape; same vs. Clarence Friedline, F. it B. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. W. L. Hoover the grand jury returned not a true bill, and the prosecutrix Mr. C. A. Sutton to pay the costs. The first iso called for trial was that of the Commonwealth vs Joseph Silva. The charge was aggravated assault and battery, and the prosecution was brought by the defendant's wife. Defendant plead guilty to simple assault ari l bat tery, but the Commonwealth was not content with this plea aud insisted on go ing to trial on tho more serious count in the indictment. The evidence dis closed that Silva had treated his wifo in a most liruUl and shameful man ner; that ho had frequently kicked and beaten her, at one tiino breaking one of her arms with a broom handle. The jury promptly convicted him 011 the first count of the indictment. Silva is a Portuguese, who came into this county at the time work was under headway 011 the contemplated South Penn railroad. He was committed to jail, pending sentence. Joseph Manges plead guilty to an indictment charging him with commit ting an assault and battery up in the person of Samuel Fleegle.

Dr. Henry Leffman, of Philadelphia, chemist for the department of agricul ture, has sent his report for November to Major Wells stat? dairy and food com missioner. The doctor states that be an alyzed sixteen samples of "butter" taken from various stores in Philadelphia and found only four of them to lie pure. The rest were oleomargarine. Two agents of the department are now at work in Phil adelphia and another in Pittsburg in the interests of pure food. An analysis of several brands of baking powdor collect ed by theso agents shows that almost all of them are "compounds" and should be so branded. The manufacturers protest vigorously at having to so mark their goods. They label them as "p are"' in di rect violatiou of the puro food act. Mm WASTED A NilfE. A Chance for oar Lady Headers to Exercise Their Inventive Oeains. Every lady reader of the Herald is invited to suggest a name for the mag nificent sdmmer hotel unw in course of erection in this place. The board of di rectors of the Somerset Hotel Company will select seven names from all of tho names suggested and from which num ber a final choico will be made. The lady suggesting the name adopted will be the guest of honor on the day on whieh the hotel is christened. Suggestions will be received until May 1. ixi. Lady readers of the Herald have their "thinking caps" on, and while the thoughts of a majority of them are doubt less directed towards Christmas and the holidays a few have forwarded us names whieh thev think would be appropriate for the new summer hotel. The editor desires to acknowledge the compliment contained in a letter from a Johnstown lady, but at the same time dooms it prudent to withhold her sugges tion. A Somerset lady writes "Perhaps the most appropriate name for tho splendid hotel now being built would lie The Home Hotel. My reasons for thinking so are many, and a minute's reflection will suggest to the minds of others reasons I do not think of. The word 'Home is short and easily remembered; it also sug gests, to the mind all of the comforts of home, and that is exactly what can lie expected by the patrons of this resort. A special reason for calling it 'Home Ho tel is because people who seek rest amid pleasant surroundings will find this an ideal place. M. D. T." Tho following comes from a Johnstown lady: "Name the new hotel. Grandview Hotel,' on account of the grand location and grand scenery it affords. II." An Addisor. matron writes: "As all arc invited to propose a name for the new hotel I suggest 'Pennsy-de-Somer, that being part of the Slate, also county iu w hich the hotel is located. Mrs. F." From Meyersdalo comes the following suggestion: "No doubt you have received many different names for the new hotel. I suggest to simply rail it 'Naming Ho tel,' which I think is very appropriate on account of the naming contest. This would go down in history and would al ways afford great pleasure to explain how the name originated. D. E. C." A Somerset girl writes: "I send my guess of a name for the new hotel. I think 'The Grandviow Hotel' a good name liecause of the splendid location and beautiful scene from that point, B. C. A." A Lincoln township lassie says: "The board of directors of the new hotel, in this ease tht 'court of last resort,' should adopt one of tho few Indian names re tained in this county for the new hotel, and I would therefore suggest 'The tjue mahouing House.'

A dispatch from Harrisburg says: A great deal of op-osilion is being met by the auditor-general's department in the obtaining of returns from insurance policy-holders for purposes of taxation. These returns are supposed to be made by the county commissioners. It is un derplots! that the county commissioner have asked ad vice of the auditor-general's department as to what construction is to lie placed upon instructions sent out as to the value of those policies and whether it applies to all kinds of policies Several prominent attorneys have been asked their opinion, but so far no solu tion has been offered. Tho blank of the auditor-general's department regarding personal property returns reads: "All policies for life insurance, whether full paid or not, issued by foreign, domestic, stock or old line mutual (known as level premium companies) must be returned by their holder at their value at the time of their assessment." It is proliable, however, that the attorney-general will sustain the action of the auditor-general, who has lieen chang ing the former ruling of his department so as to favor the non-imposition of the tax.
