While hunting in Centre county a few
days ago Dr. B. II. Warren, State Eiw

through which he uarrowly escaped the
loss of his eyes. The dogs had located a
pheasant, aud the instant the bird pop
ped up from the underbrush Ir. Warren's
companion nred. 1 he charge struck a
tree only a few feet from the spot where
the doctor stood, and several grains
glanced off and struck him in tho eyes.
The victim dropped to the ground, he
having been somewhat alarmed, and tho
blood tlowed quite freely from the
wound. He, however, sulweqnently
dressed the laceration, and has since suf
fered but little from his experience.
Readers of this paper will recall an
item published several months ago refer
ring to tho condition of Clarance Staub,
an unfortunate lad at the County Homn
who had been deprived of both his faet
by a railroad accident, and calling upon
the Poor Directors to aid him in securing
artificial lim'is. Young Staub is ambi
tious to earn a livelihood and through his
own tflVrts earned a small amount of
money which he proudly exhibited to tho
I i Cttrs telling lliem that he "would
help to buy his own feeL" The Directors
were pleased with the lny's engeruess to
support himself and a few w.vk ago or
dered a pair of feet for him. Tue artifi
cial limits arrived at the Home last
Thursday, and Monday morning Clarence
w as walking about on them, apparently
prouder than the proverbial "lmy w ith a
new top." Clarence expects t-i leave the
Home in a few days when he will strive
to earn a living.
People mining from Moyersdalo all trll
the same tale in regard to the darkness
that prevails in tlint enterprising village
after six o'clock iu thoevening. Meyers
dale was the lirst town in the county to
adopt electric lights and during the tlve
or six years the plant at tuat place has
been in operation the street lights wera
furnished at an extremely low rate, in
ftict the charge per light was the lowest
we know of anywhere. When the five
years' contract for street light expired the
owners of the electric light plant increas
ed the charges about NO per cent, and
when town council protested, the lights
were turned off pending the signing of a
new contract. Meanwhile the streets
have leen without light except such as is
furni.shed by oil lamps placed at irregu
lar intervals. The prospects of council
and the electric light people getting
together are not encouraging, and the
people are said to be tired playing
'Moses."
One of the pleasant features of New
Years' Day in Somerset for a number of
years past has lx-en the annual banquet
given under the auspicies of R. P. Cum
mins Post, G. A. R. Old soldiers from all
sections of the county look forward to
these annual reunions with increased in
terest each year, since in the natural
course of events they can not le held
many more years. The attendance last
Friday was the largest since tho custom
of meeting on the first day of the year
was instituted, about eighty-five mem
liers of the Post being present. In addi
tion to the old soldiers, a large number
of soldiers' wives, widows, sons and
daughters, and a few specially invited
guests met with them. A meeting of the
Post was held in the Post room during the
morning, and at 12 o'clock the comrades
fell in line and marched to the Opera
House, where the ladies had a steaming
hot dinner prepared for them. The cus
tomary speeches wero dispensed with
and all present devoted themselves to en
joying the edibles.
Somerset girls are too coy to give a
party for their gentleman friends during
leap year, and too foud of dancing to let
an opportuni'y go unimproved. Hence
it was that they issued invitations to a
leap year party" on the last day of VM,
to be given at the Somerset House, on
Monday evening. We !ctray no confi
dence when we say that only two young
men received more than one invitation,
and one of the two was in an alarming
mental condition liefore he made up his
mind which girl should a-t as his escort,
aud not arriving at a conclusion until be
had had his hair clipped close enough to
defy the cleverness of sixteen fingers
and four thiimlM.
The parlor and dinitig room of the
Somerset House were tastily decorated
w ith trailing pine and hot" house flowers
at eight o'clock when tho g;:ests began to
arrive. An hour later thirty-five couples
were present when dancing began in the
dining room, and euchre pl-iyiug in the
parlor. Refresh merits were served nl
midnight. The party broke up at 3 a. m.
The young gentlemen say it was the
". wellest party" ever givcu in town.
Several months ago Sheriff Hartzell
and Mr. John K. White, or Hyndman,
had occasion to visit the Woslinghouso
Ele-tric Works, in ' Pittsburg. While
passing through one of the buildings the
farmer's attention was attracted towards
a gentleman, who appeared to be suffer
ing great physical sgony. Mr. Hartzell
inquired w hat was the matter and with
the knowledge that comes from long ex-periam-e
with the "vai ions ills mankind
is heir to," prepared a mixture for the
sufferer that gave instantaneous relief.
The new made friend was generous in his
praise of Mr. II rtr. ill's attention to a
strangeratid insist? 1 up m him and Mr.
White Iteiug his guests at dinner that
evening at the Hotel Duqueuse.. Next
morning Mr. Hartzell returned ' home
and never agaiu thought of the incident
related above until a few days before
Christmas when be received a letter from
Mr. Odell for that was the stranger's
name asking him to send a man to
Jamestown, N. Y., for a horse he wished
to give hiiu for a Christmas piesent.
The bursa arrived in due time and with
him came a letter from Mr. Odell giving
the animal's brecdiug. His sire and dam
are both recorded in the American Trot
ting Register and he is a perfect beauty.
Jamestown i;t the home of the American
trotting horse and Mr. Odell is said to
have a "string" of fifty or sixty racers.

There wero Isisy times in and alo-it
the Court House during the latter part ot
last week and on Monday and Tuesday.
The old county officials, whose ter.-.is ex
pired at midnight Sunday, "worked like
tx-avers" to close up their records, a id
their successors called around to ie
"sworn in," and ineidontaliy to take a
look at the furniture snd Kher surround
ings. Treasurer Pugh and the Couuty
Commissioner did not shut up shop un
til a few minutes lctoro 12 o'clock Satur
day night, and even thou the latter had
not passed upon a number of bills that
had been presented for payment and the
former was deprived of the usual com
mission ; but even if the orders bad lieen
issued the Treasurer could not have
cashed them.siiu-o he hid less than (loOon
hand to turnover to his successor W. W.
Winters ou Monday morning. There
have been some pretty heavy drains up
on the county's exchequer during the
past few years, but the indebtedness of
the county, we are glad to say, is quite
small. If in fact there is any deficit when
all accounts have been settled.
Tbo Commissioners' office was crowd
ed Friday and Saturday by persons who
had unfinished business to settle up with
the county and wore auxious to have it
attended to before Messrs. Sholier, Bar
nett aud Hay retired to private lifo.
Monday morning Messrs. Kimmel,
Good and Kretchman took charge of the
Commissioners' office aud were kept
busy uiost of the day shaking hands with
their numerous friends, who called to
extend congratulations. Clerks Kmert
and Werner were actively at work pre
paring to submit the accounts of that of
fice to the scrutiny of the Auditors aud
were apparently unmindful of the ani
mated scenes about them.
Over in the Prothonotary's office Mr,
H. F. Barron entered upon his three
years' term with the ease of a professional
He is perfectly familiar with the rocords
that otlieo and thoroughly adapted by
education and training to discharge tho
duties of his important trust. He was
kept busy most of the day receiving
his friends aud introducing his clerk
Mr. B. K. Pullin, of Confluence. Mr.
Pullin will bring his family to the couu
ty seat as soon as he can secure a house.
Register and Recorder Miller and his
clerks, were doubtless at church on Sun
day, but an astonishing large arnount of
work was spread upon toe records of that
office betweeu Friday night and Mon
day morning. The new Register ami
Recorder Mr. James M. Cover did not
reach Somersot until uoon Monday, aud
did not take official possession of the
office until about 1 o'clock. Mr. Frank
Miller, who has been the obliging clerk
iu that office for the past three years, will
continue temporarily in the same capac
ity.
William Winter relieved Treasurer
Pugh bright and early Monday morning
and together they passed th day watch
ing the large saf. in the Treasurer's of
fice, and in footing up the current ex
penses of the county for the past year.
Up-siitirs in tho court room Associate
Judge HoriitT was se-ated in the Presi
dent Judge's chair, and Associate Juu
Black occupied a seat to his right. V
number oft no memors of tho bar wero
present ami congratulated Judge Black
on ins accession to tue bench. Alter a
li'.tle routine business was disposed of
Court adjourned to meet agaiu to-day.
Sheriff Hartzell was looking as pleasant
as a man can who is engaged iu erecting
stove pipes and securing order out of sev
eral car loads of furniture promiscuously
dumped into his residence. Sheriff
Hartzell isonoof tho..e sweet tempered
mon who can lay aside a joint of stove
pipe, ( limb down from tho top round of
a I idder, and conduct a party of visitors
through the jail with tho ur'anity of a
newly established minister of the gospel.
(Questions in regard to the unfortunate
Roddy boys, who have been found guilty
of murder in the first degree, and others
relating to the pedigree of his handsome
new borso are turned off by Sheriff
Hartzell with a smile that would do
credit to a solicitor for a mint. Ieputy
Sheriff George M. Baker was hard at
work on tho new records that are opened
with the advent of every new Sheriff.
John R. Scott, Esq., one of the leading
memliers of the Somerset county bar,
will look after ths new Sheriffs legal
business. Mr. Hartznll's family will lie
established in their new home, which by
tho way hxs leen fitted up with electric
light, in the course of a few days.
Sheriff Hoover had taken the precau
tion to have nearly all of his household
furniture removed to his private residence
several days in advance and he devoted
the last hours of his administration to
fixing up a few matters of minor impor
tance. Mr. Hoover returns to private life
with the proud satisfaction of having dis
charged the duties of his important trust
iu a manner that won for him the com
mendation of all the citizens of the
county.
The Cou nty Auditors organized Mon
day by electing Silas Lichty president of
the lioard. Mr. Lichty is the only Dem
ocratic member of the board and all wuo
have the pleasure of his acquaintance can
rest assured that he will hold down his
end, even though he has to contend
against two such stalwart Republicans
as Jeremiah Rboads and Benjamin J.
Bowman. The board of Auditors are
actually the most important of all our
eounty officers. They must scrutinize all
of the county's bills and see thtt wise
economy has been pursued in all of the
county offices. Their duties are lalwr
ious and their compensation is insignifi
cant when the character of the work de
volving upon the:n is taken into consid
eration. A. J. Hilcman has been elected
clerk and Frorl. W. Biescrker, attorney,
to the board of auditors.
Out at th County Home the Poor Di
rectors met ou Monday and effected an
organization by electing William Dull,
President, L. C. Co! bum, Esq., ws
elected attorney aud clork to the Board,
and all of the official at tho Home were
re-elected. The new member of the
Board Jacob Peck was warmly wtl
cmed by the senior members and was
shown around tho "buildings and farm.
Mr. Peck will make an able successor to
Jacob McGregor, whose services to the
county were duly recognized by his fel
I w directors in a resolution thank

scientious attention to duty.
Solid latti'.atioai.
Bank failures are ofalmost daily occur
rence in tho west and northwest, while
Somerset batiks are on a firmer fooling
than ever before, as is fully evidenced by
the action of the directors of the First
'u(ici:al nd Scniert-et County National
Banks at meetings held last week. Ths
success of these two local institutions
must be alike gratifying to the public and
stock holders.
At a meeting of tho directors of the
First National B :ik, held io the direc
tors room, on Saturday evening, the
usual semi-annual dividend of 3 per
cent, was declared upon the capital stock
of that institution ; ?2,X) was added to
the surplus; $3K was appropriated to re
ducing the bank's U. S. bonds, and $1,-1X1
was carried over as undivided profits, all
outof the earnings of the past six months.
The surplus fund of the First National is
now $Ji,(iO. The members of the lioard
of directors all expressed their apprecia
tion of the conduct of the affairs of the
bank and at the gratifying increase of the
volume of business done during the
period mentioned.
The directors of the Somerset County
National Bank held a meeting at their
banking bouse last Thursday morning,
when the usual annual six per cent,
dividend on the capital stock was declar
ed and the sum of $t,0oj was added to the
surplus fund of that institution. A vote
of thanks was tendered the officers of the
liank for their careful and prudent man
agement, after which tho directors, offi
cers and a few frit-lids enjoyed a special
ly prepared dinner at the Souicrtet
llouso.

'As Mr. Haines pronouueed the words of

Eqnitable'i Fine Showing.
It must lie very gratifying to the poli
cy holders in this county to learn that tho
i;.iiita!i!e Life Society of New York, has
done such a very large business in Is!!.
The PitNburg Agency closed the year
with ?tf,3!S,il new business.
Both manager E. A. Words ami M. L
Fosdick, their traveling man, express
pleasure at the amount of business writ
ten in Somerset county, no f;ir iii excess
of all other companies.
Mr. Fosdick wrote letcen Bedford
and Somerset counties neorly I'M new
policies for half a million of insurance? iu
the last six months alone.
The Co.'s new cash g-ia'antee policy is
the key to this increased btisim-ss, and
their promptness in paying death claims
and maturing policies.
They are now the largest and strongest
Insurance Company in the world.
A Spendthrift Schema.
Mr. Boat tier, of louisiaiia has intro
duced a bill in Congress providing that
the salary of tho Speaker of tho House
of Representatives shall be increased to
f 1(1,000 per annum, and that of the Sena
tors and Representatives to fT.Vm. Mr.
Boat tier has always been looked upon as
a man of brains, but if ho is rcaily en
titled to that distinction, his friends have
right to demand his reason for such an
outrageous proposition.
Just at this particular time, when the
country has hard'.v been declared con
valescent from its serious attack of strin
gency, when "Confidence," coy maiden
that she is, seems disused to continue to
play hide and seek around tho money
centres of the country, ami "Prosperity,"
her twin sister, is dcteraiineei to elope
with old "Hard Times," it si: rpas.se to
understanding that a Southern Congress
man should refer to or even mention
such a piece of profligacy in seriousness.
Were the "country rolling in wealth,"
were the tax-payers clamoring for per
mission to contribute more largely to the
public fund, there would even then be no
manner of excuse for increasing tho sala
ry of our Representatives. Five thou
sand dollars per annum is a lilieral sala
ry it is ten times more than many Con
gressmen ever made in one year in their
ives, and it is ten times more than the
services of some of them arc worth.
For the Grip.
A few wee-ks ago this paprr published
a remedy for tho grip which lias been
ironounccd bifclliblo by one of tho most
earned physicians in ;!c old world. A
gentlemen of this city came to this oli'n o
and gave his testim -ny. Ho stated that
be was taken sick w ith the grip in a se
vere form, and having cut out this reme
dy from the World tried it. For a tiuio
there was no apparent cl7e-t, but licfore
went y-four hours h::d elapsed tho signs
of the disease begun to give way, and a
few hours later ho was cured. For the
benefit of our readers wo repent tho di
rtvtions. Take thirty grains, or say half
a teaspoonful, of biearlonate of )otash,
or pure liaking s.la, mix in a teacupful
of sweet milk. This doo should I e re
pented every two or three hours until re
lief is secured, which will seldom require
over twenty-four hours. The Titusville

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Two Chareh Dedicated.
The new Evangelical churches, at Hus
band and Lichty's, were dedicated last
Sabbath. All of the services were weir
attended. Tbo members and people gen
erally all contributed liberally, $l,.V0
STOUat Husband and ?K at Llchty's
being raised during the day.
This day of dedication will long lie re
membered in the history of the United
Evangelical church, as two dedications
on the same circuit and on the same day
have never been known to occur before.
Many persons termed it "the twin ded
ication." The pastor and members f the two
churches wish to teuder their thanks to
the sister denominations for the assist
ance rendered in this good work. It Is
true that a great misfortune has been
visited upon us by reason of tho loss of
our old church property anil many hearts
have been made sad, but the true sym
pathy of christian fellowship has been
felt by our friends and the good old
American spirit of the citizens of Somer
county has said to us in word and act
"Live."
We have great reason to rejoice over
this victory, not as b Misting in our
strength, but iu the tiiver of every per
fect gift.
There will be services in the Emanuel
church (Lichty's) next Sabbath morning
at br.30, instead of tho Summit Brethren
church.
Services will also be held iu the Pleas
ant Hill church, at 0 p. ui., and at
Husband at :'Ji) p. in. A protracted
service will be held in the Husband
church beginning on Sabbath evening.

Protection for the Gace.
The state board of game commissioners
has prepared a series of amendments
which they hope to have incorporated in
to the game laws of the state. The
changes proposed by these amendments
are sweeping iu their nature and their
(option by the legislature will effect a
radical reform of tho abuses now preval
ent. They prohibit the killing for sale of
auy kind o' game iu Pennsylvania and
the shipment of game outside the state.
The amount of game that has been killed
aud sent outsi de tho state is enormous.
State Zoologist Warreu is receivixg num
erous replies to the circulars recuutly s-jut
out asking for statistics on this question.
Ho is preparing a pamphlet for distribu
tion among the sportsmen and memlx-rs
of the leginlalure giving the results of hi
investigations of the subject. The fig
ure in this book ill open the people's
eyes to the awful slaughter of game thct
has been going ou iu this state f.r years.
Another change proposed by the commis
sion is the alteration in the time in which
hunting may be allowed. It has been
deemed advisable to make all the season
come in and go out at the same time thus
saving much compilation.
The new law makes the seasons for all
kinds of game coincident. Is ginning on
Octoler lo and ending on Decomlier li
Tho work of the commission will be re
ported to the legislature as early as possi
ble in tho session aud it will be urged to
take immediate action.

Badge of Honor.
Judgo Miller, during a recent trial st
Beaver, in hi charge to tho jury referred
to policemen and detectives as follows :
It is not a disgrace to be an officer in
:.iis country. Indeed, If it were not for
policemen and detectives to huut op and
ferret out crime the peaceful, law-abiding
citizens of the country would be at a
great disadvantage. If every man had to
go armed to protect himself, rather than
have officer of the law whose duty It ia
to protect the persons and property of the
people of the community if each Indi
vidual had to give that protection to him-
sen ana lamuy, we would be at a great
disadvantage. So that the badge of
policeman ordinarily is aud always
should be a badge of honor, of peace, of
law, and good order."
