Have you noticed, as a fact in natural
history, the almot-l eutire alwnce of the
disagreeable, buzzing, biting Junebug,
this season? Talking of bugs, neither the
goldbug, the silverbug, nor the straddle
bug are in it when compared with the
former. An old farmer tells us that the
absence of the Juneixig means plenty of
grasshoppers this fall.

of w hich are 1-elieved to have lieen the
work of incendiaries, occurred ten days

are told by several farmers, that the con
tinued rains of this month are already

There is an immense acreage out in this
county, and a loss of a few of the tubers

year, and thus even things up.

When one of the colored man, arrested
for suspected incendiarism last week, was
leal through the yard that surrounds the
lock up, and saw the tail pole with its
cross arm and dangling rojics, on which
the firemen dry their hose, he was fright
ened almost white, thiuklng that he was
to l lynched on the spot and all the

Flv Kta Shcoked by IlgbUlag.
Five men living close to Husband post
office, in Somerset township, had a mi
raculous escape from instaut death last
Wednesday afternoon. They were
working on a public road in that neigh
borhood, and when a heavy rain storm
blew op they sought shelter under trees.
Xestled at the foot of a huge white oak
were Messrs. David Weller, Charles
Weller, William Slahl, Charles Griffith
and the ten-year-old sou of Urias Saylor.
Under the branches of a tree close by
stood Clark Stahl and Heury Brown.
The rain, which fell in torrents, was ac
companied by frequeut flashes of light
ning. The elder Mr. Stahl had only left
the Weller party a moment to secure bet
ter protection from the rain under an ad-
Joining oak, when the tree under which
they were standing was shattered by a
bolt of lightning. David Weller was
hurled twenty feet away and cast upon
the ground apparently lifeless. Young
Saylor was also thrown a considerable
distance from the base of the tree, but
was not rendered unconscious. Charles
Weller, who was sitting with his back
against the tree, was the most seriously
injured. The electric current ripped his
clothes and bis boots from his body and
inflicted ugly burns about his head and
shoulders. Griffith and Brown were
both tossed up in the air by the effect of
the stroke, but escaped uuinjured. The
two Wellers were removed to their
homes, where Charles remained in a
comatose condition tr several hours. Dr.
Louther was summoned and rendered
such professional service as was in his
power to restore the young man to con
ciousness, Monday David Weller was
able to be up and about, but Charles is
still confined to his bed suffering intense
ly from the effects of the shock.
A Sad Cat.
A very sad case comes from Jenner
township. Jacob Spurry, aged about
forty years, in a fit or temporary insanity,
assailed his wife w ith one of the heavy
weights of a set of scales last Friday
morning and was lieating her over the
head when his father came to the rescue
of the unfortunate woman and prevented
his crazed son from committing uxor
icide. After the insane man had been
subdued an officer was sent for when he
was brought to Somerset and lodged in
jail. The prisoner has been very much
dipresstd ever since his incarceration
and although be has not been violent at
any time since be attacked his wife, the
prison authorities are appreheusive that
he may become so at any time. Spurry
w ill likely be sent to Dixmont Asylum
for treatment to-day.
Twelve years ago Jacob Spurry was
married to Miss Bowman, of Somerset
township. The happy young couple
made their home with the husband's
parents, his father being one of the lest
to do farmers in Jenner township. Xot
a cloud ever marred their domestic hap
piness until last Friday morning. Ten
days ago Mrs. Spurry noticed that hr
husband was acting peculiarly. On one
occasion he grasped her rudely by the
arm leaving the impress of his fingers iu
her flesh without offering an excuse for
his strango action. Friday morning
Mr. and Mrs. Spurry arose about the
same hour. When the wife had break
fast prepared and went to call her hns
tnd she found that he had again re
tired to lwd. She tenderly inquired
w hether he was sick, when without a
moment's notice he sprang upon her as
mentioned above and began beating her

father-in-law reached the scene blood
was striaming from a number of ugly

The greatest sympathy is felt for the
family in the neighlsirhood in whith

that the unfortunate husliand and son
will soon be returned completely restored
in health.
Death of Norman B, Fearod.
Xorman B. Tenrod, one of the leading
citizens and best known lemocrats of
this county, died Wednesday, at his home
in Somerset township, aged sixty-seven
years. Ills life had been despaired of for
several weeks and the members of his
family were prepared for the final sum
mons. M r. Penrod was a prominent can
date for the Democratic nomination for
the office of Couuty Commissioner at the
recent primary election of that party, but
was compelled to withdraw from the
canvass on account of ill health.
Deceased was a native of Stoyestown
and served in the army as a member of
Co. U.. ttkl Reg. Pa. V. He was tw ice
married and is survived by his second
wife and two daughters, and by four chil
dren by his first marriage. He is also
survived by one brother and two sisters,
one of the latter being Mrs. Josiah II.
Pisel, of this place.
Interment was made at Stoyestown,
Saturday afternoon.
Irreverence.
The Xational Ss-iety of Christian En
deavor is to meet in Washington, D. C,
next month. We notice that a local soci
ety in the state of Xew York, proposes
that its members shall make the trip to
the Capital on this occasion on their bi
cycles, and their excursion is to lie
known as the "Bicycle Run for Christ."
Being "of the world," as the phrase goes,
proltably we are not qualified to j udge,
but it seems to us that this familiar
bandying of the sacred name of the Sav
ior of Mankind, to say the least, is not
in good taste.
The papers state that a large nnmlsnr of
the young people from different States
will make the same trip under the same
ha'iner. The intention of these youthful
christians may lie, ami we doubt not is
all right. But familiarity breeds ton
tempt, and we beg to suggest that there
is too much of this flippant use of sacred
names. In fact are there not ts many
s-s-icties of various designations grow ing
up underthe wing of the church? Half a
century ago Suuday schools and Biblo
classos w ere just being introduced. To
day there are so many associations vouch
ed for by the church that the church itself
and the simple doctrines that Christ
taught are almost forgotten in the effort
to add all sorts of societies with all sorts
of names as auxiliaries to the original,
and young people, particularly, seem to
care more about the social aspert of t he
c'jurch, as represented in these societies,
with their badges and uniforms and brass
bands, than they do about the "simple
teachings of the meek aud lowly Sav
ior. Would it not be better to go back
to the plain ways of our ancestors, teach
the plain truths of the gospel and leave
the badges, the uniforms and the bands
to the wicked politicians? These are
merely suggestions. We do not set our
seif up as a teacher of morals or a con
servator of the public gsd.

LINCOLN CLUB RATIFIES.
The Komlaatioa of the St. Louis Conven
tion Eathttiiaitieally Endorsed. A Xo
Kinley and Eobart Marching
Club Formed.
The Lincoln Republican Club, the old
est political organization in Somerset
county, held a special meeting Friday
evening in the law offices of Fred. W.
Biesecker, when stirring addresses were
delivered by CapL W. H. Sanner, Repub
lican nominee for the Legislature, L. C
Col born, Esq., J. C. Ixwry, Esq., Fred.
W. Biesecker. Esq., Prothonotary Saylor,
and other prominent niemliers of the
Club. Each speaker spoke of the great
personal satisfaction be derived from the
nomination of Major McKinley for Pres
ident, not only because he admired him as
a typical American, but because he
enjoyed personal acquaintance with the
distinguished standard bearer. The plat
form was also heartily endorsed by each
speaker.
From fifty to seventy-five members of
the Club were present and loudly ap
plauded every reference to McKinley
and llobart.
John R. Scott, Esq., who had the dis
tinguished honor to cast his ballot for
Major McKinley for President in the Xa
tional Convention four years ago, offered
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted :
Wiikrkas, The Republican Xational
Convention, recently assembled in St.
Iaiiiis, placed in nomination for Presi
dent of the United States tbo champion
of protection and souud money, the
friend of American lalsir aud American
industries, the. typical American and
christian gentleman, William McKinley,
and for Vice President, Garret A. llo
bart, the eminent slatusmau, now, there
fore, be it Itrxotml ;
First, That the Lincoln Republican
Club, of Somerset, heartily approves of
the nomination of William McKinley
and Garret A. Hohart as the standard
bearers of the Republican party in the
Xational campaign, and thoroughly en
dorse the provisions of the platform
adopted.
Sewnd, That we hereby pledge our un
alterable support to the National ticket
nominated, and to do ail iu our power to
secure the election of our candidates,
Xational, State aud Couuty, and the tri
umph of true American principles.
A committee of three was appointed to
transmit the congratulations of the Club
to the distinguished standard bearers and
to exteud them a cordial invitation to vis
it Somerset and address the voters of the
couuty during the campaign.
A motion was adopted to organize a
marching club to lie known as "The Mc
Kinley and Hobart Marching Club, of
Somerset, Pa.," and before the meeting
adjourned the names of more than li
Republican voters of Somerset borough,
bad been enrolled on the club roster.
The retiring officers of the club were
re-elected for the ensuing year, as follows:
President, George R. Scull; Vice Presi
dent, J. C. Lowry; Secretary, L. C. Col
born; Treasurer, II. M. Berkley.
Climbing on the Band Wagon.
Friday morning small hand bills an
nouncing that a public meeting would be
held in the Court House for the purpose
of ratifying the nomination of McKinley
and llobart were generously distributed
about town. The bills were unsigned
aud the public was at a loss to know who
was to do the ratifying. Diligent inquiry
by a reporter of the Herald failed to
find a Republican who would admit that
he knew anything alsmt the proHKed
meeting, and politicians of all degrees
disclaimed rcsousibility for the anony
mous call.
At eight 4Ylock, Saturday evening, the
Somerset Concert Band, a new musical
organization, and one of great promise,
after discoursing a uumber of selections
on the public square, marched to the
Court House, where they played two or
threo tunes in front of that building.
Then they adjourned to the court room
whither they were followed by perhaps
fifty voters, Republicans and Democrats
a large number of children and a few la
dies. After the baud bad played two or
three additional lively airs, John G. Ogle,
Esq., called the meeting to order and
nominated Capt, Charles J. Harrison - for
president.
CapL Harrison, upon assuming the
chair, returned his thanks to the audi
ence for the compliment bestowed upon
him.
Mr. Ogle then nominated the usual
complement of Vice Presidents aud Sec
retaries, all of whom came forward and
took the seats provided for the officers.
I'pou motion of Mr. Ogle, the chair ap
pointed a committee to draft resolutions.
Mr. Ogle was named as Chairman of this
committee.
At this juncture the Berlin Cornet Band
marched into the room and were given
seats inside the bar. The band respond
ed to a call for music, after w hich F. J.
Kooser, Esq., was called upon for an ad
dress. Mr. Kooser spoke for perhaps
fifteen minutes and ratified the nomina
tions made by the St, Louis conventior
Capt, Tully, a retired army ofli.-er
stopping at the Hotel Vannear, was next
introduced by W. H. Koontz, Esq. The
Captain's speech was confined principal
ly to the tail of the ticket and in the
course of his remarks he paid a number
of compliments to the candidate for Vice
President, Garret A. Hobart.
W. H. Koontz, Esq., was the next
sjH-aker.
J. A. Berkey, Esq., was culled for and
sjKike for two or three minutes.
J. G. Ogle, Ej , was the last speaker.
At tbo conclusion of Mr. Kooser's at'
dress, Mr. Ogle, as Chairman of the com
mittee, read a series of resolutions, which
were adojited. The meeting adjourned

If any Bondi Are Illegal.
The supreme court of Pennsylvania
has handed down a per curiam opinion
affirming the court of Lancaster county
in the case of Sener against the borough
of I.phrata, Lancaster county. Thia
decision affects a large numlier of
boroughs in Western Pennsylvania. Au
estimate is made that f lO.HtM.Omi in Imnds
have been affected and are illegal.
The act of 1S74 authorizing I io roughs to
issue bonds up to 7 per cent of the assess'
ed valuation was amended by the legisla
ture last year, ana it seems a line was
left out which gives tho act; of lfiO
another meaning. The act of 1874 made it
obligatory on the pat t of the council,
where they bonded the town to the limit
ot 7 per cent of the assessed valuation, to
levy a tax of 8 per cent of the amount
borrow-ed,
This made the taxation exceedingly
heavy in some towns, and to remedy this
the act of Pfita was passed, but a mistake
was made in the wording, making it ap
pear that the borough could only borrow
9 per cent of its assessed valuation, and
the supreme court has sustained the Lan
caster court in taking this view of it. The
borough of Wilmerdiug voted to issue
bonds for f'k8,000on a valuation of f l.liVl,
0J0, which is about $-im over the 2 per
cent. Another election will have to lie
held as a result.
Turtle Creek borough has issued fTO.flU)
in bouds since the act of into became a
law, aud one of the issues of (.10,0110 is
per cent above the 2 per cent valuation
W. Haymaker is the borough solicitor
and said the borough would not repudiate
the debt.
The borough of Wilkinsburg is in bad
shape, as, the council has borrowed up to
the full valuation for street improve
ments, and it must be at least 5 per cent
above the amount allowed. Almost every
borough in Western Pennsylvania will
be affected by the supreme court decision.

KsUHLET'S TI3IT3 70 SOMERSET.
Daring Satnnier Sojonrni in tbo County,
tho Kext President won the Hearts
of tbo Farmers.
A Somersot correspondent of the Pitts
burg Times writes: " Xow here In the
country was the nomination of Mc
Kinley received with greater satisfaction
thau iu this town aud county. The next
Prosident is personally known to many
of tho people here through fieqnt-ut vis
its to the summer homo of his brother
Abner, who with his family-spends six
months of each year enjoying the quiet
life of this rural mountain town.
Two years ago Maj. McKinley spent a
fortnight Iu Somerset, and during that
visit made frequent excursions to the
outlying villages, enjoying the hospital
ityspring chickens aud wafltes of way
side lnus. On these occasions be was
always surrounded by a host of farmers,
who eagerly grasped his hand and sal
uted him as "our next President."
This is beautiful farming land," or "the
mountain air of Somerset is very invig
orating aud refreshing," he would say iu
response to the felicitations of his rural
admirers, and in this manner turned
their conversation in another channel.
Maj. McKinley never denied himself to
any man who approached him and had a
kindly word of welcome for each.
One day the major and his party dined
at the Custer house, an unpretentious
howtelry in the village of Stoyesto n.
Before the party started home Mine Host
Custer modestly asked the major if he
would not put his autograph on the hotel
register, saying: "I know that you will
bo the next President of the United
States and I want to tell the future guests
at my house that Maj. McKinley stopped
here and I want to be able to show them
your name in your own handwriting on
my register." Struck with the landlord's
simplicity Msj. McKinley graciously dis
mounted from his carriage and, entering
the primitive hotel office, subscribed his
name on the register. Although the
name of "Gov. William McKinley, of
Ohio," had been enrolled on the same
page by another member of the party,
Mr. Custer desired to see his distinguish
ed guest inscribe his name with his own
hamL It is safe to say that page of the
Custer house register will be framed and
handed down as a price less heirloom in
the landlord's family.
On the return trip from Stoyestown to
Somerset one of the occupants of the
governor's carriage inquired why he had
challenged the vote of the Ohio delega
tion in the convention at Minneapolis
and caused his own vote to bo recorded in
favor of Harrison. Before the major had
time to reply another occupant of the
carriage, a man prominent in Buckeye
politics, said: "You never should have
challenged that vote, governor; and you
know as well as I do that your nomina
tion could have been made."
'What you say may all lie true," said
Maj. McKinley, "but you know there is
such a thing as a man's having to live
with himself. Had I consented to the
use of my name as a candidate at Minn
eapolis, my conscience would never have
crmitted me to commune w ith myself
afterwards."
This gentle rebuke commanded silence
during the next half hour of the drive,
while the other three occupanU of the
carriage felt that they were in the pres
ence of a man who had put aside a crow n
rather than prove faithless to a friend.
On another occasion Maj. McKinley
w as enjoying au afternoon siesta w hen he
was disturbed by a visit from a party of
ruralities, the spokesman of whom said:
"We did not want to return home with
out shaking hands with the great Ohio
robber." For a moment only Maj. Mc
Kinley failed to appreciate the humor of
the remark, but when it flashed upon his
mind that the speaker referred to him in
words coined by the Demoratie press
the great tariff roblier" he laughed
quite heartily, sn.l then bidding his visit
ors lie seated entertained them with half
an hour's talk on the lnefits the farmer
derives from a protective tariff.
During his visits to Somerset Maj. Mc
Kinley evinced a great fondness, for
horse-back riding, and when mounted
on a fiery charger witn a slouch fiat
drawn tightly down over his head, his
resemblance to the great Corsii-an was
more marked than in any other position."
Over Thirty Years
Without Sickness.
Mr. II. Wettsteix, a well-known,
enterprising citizen of Byron, 111.,
writes: "Before I paid much atten
tion to regulating the bowels, I
hardly knew a well day; but since I
learned the evil re
sults of constipation,
and the efficacy of
AYER'S
Tills, I have not had
one day's sickness
T i-j fA3 V for over thirty years

that did not readily yield to this

ous to our marriage, an invalid for
years. She had a prejudice against
cathartics, but as r oon as she began
to use Ayer'a Pills her health was
