On account of the gloomy atmosphere that has prevailed during the past tea days the Electric Eight Company have furnished their patrons with light as early as :tS) o'clock in the afternoon, thus giv ing an efficient service that the public should fully appreciate. John C. Miller, one of the best known young farmer? of Somerset township, and his fourteen-year-old daughter, have both been confined to their beds for sev eral weeks suffering from typhoid fever. At last reports both were on a fair road towards recovery. Mr. Miller's father-iu-iaw, the venerable Alexander Hunter, is also suffering from the same disease. Mr. "I'itt"' iiilbert, one of Somerset's most successful marksmen, g't a crack at a pair of wild turkeys on Taynian Hill wit; ii bight of town, on Saturday after noon, and brought down a fine 10 pound hen. The birds had evidently been frightened from their mountain home by the numerous hunters who have been in search of game evtr siaca the season opened. Few towns of similar size in the State boast of as many handsome business blocks and store-rooms as Somerset, and few, if any, have as many fctore-rooms with plate-glass fronw. Fifteen years ago there was n- sheet of plate-glass in the town, wbi'.e to-day there are only a half dozeu Ures without large plate -glass win',ows. The latest addition, and deci dedly the prettiest, is the "show-window" in M. J. Black's Gentlemen's Furnishing Store. Next week the public school teachers of the county will be the guests of the county seat. They will number 301 in all, and will probably be accompanied by double that uumlier of friends. Iu fact the Annual Toachers' Iustitute will aftra-t a majority of.the brightest young poople of both Hexas in the county to Somerset next w.H-k. All will be cordial ly welcomed and the residents of the town will make crery cttort to make their stay as pleasant and profitable as possible. The many Somerset county friends of CoL E. H. Warwell, of Baltimore, Md., will lie pleased to learn that he has been appointed private secretary to the new Republican Mayor of that city, having entered upon his duties Monday morn ing. Col.

Cover a fe days agi made thvt interesting dis covery that Ephraim lilaine, father of James ;. Blaine, was at one time a land owner in this county. Mr. Cover was looking up. in one of the oldest deed record iu his offi.e, th title to a tract of three hundred acres ii!

The present own ers of the tract are Dr. Joseph Cvode, Thomas Jallagher, Benjamin Enus, C. H. Kautz and James M. Cover, aud most of it is still wood land, a short distance east of Jenners.

Good lawyers have tor tKMiie time held that there was no gfnersj law in Penn sylvania making taxes on real estate a prior lieu. This opinion has recently been sustained by the superior court of this statA, la the case of Tbeurer's appeal, 5 Pa. Superior Court 2"i The act of June 2, lSsl, P. L. 45, under which supposed Iien9 were created by re porting uncollected Uxes to the county comtiu-&ioners, was dwdared unconstitu tional in ihe care of Van Loon vs. Eugle, 171 Pa. 167: and Theurer's anneal nft only clearly exposes the absurdity of the I claim that the act of May 22, P. L, 111, creates any lien, but just as clearly decides that there re no tax liens in this state except such as are created by local or special laws . In Somerset county, therefore, there is no way of making taxea on real estate a prior hen; and collectors will hereafter have to get rid of difficult collections in some other way than by returning them to the county commissioners. Iu fact, it always has been the duty of collectors to coiled the taxes charged on the dupli cates placed in their hands and these returns have simply been an evasion ot that duty. A coLector'a warrant is good for two years from iu date and under the 4,kh section of the act of April 15, 1834. it authorizes him to distrain and still the gxds aad chattels of any person occupy ing any real estate, for the non-payment .? any tuxes assessed upon such real es tate during his possession or occupancy and remaining unpaid, in like manner as if they were the goods and chattels of the owners of such real estate; aud this remedy is available at any time after such taxes have lecome delinquent.. Then there is the additional remedy provided by the Cist section of the same act, whereby the collector is empowered to distrain and sell the g'xxls and chattels of any delinquent, whether on or off the premises, af;er thirty days notice to pay ; and, in case no goods can be found, to put him iu jail, These are, and always have been, the only proper ways to compel the payment of taxes In Somerset county. From this state of the law, it fol'ows that it will he useless, simply a waste, of time aud less of money, hereafter to file notices of delinquent taxes with any sher ilTor constable, on the sale of a delin quent's property. Everything must de pend on the vigilance of the collector, and his vigilance will depend in a great degree ou the amount of backbone dis played by schind b-iards borough coun cils and county commissioners in refusing exonerations or to "take the duplicate oiftlie har.ds"' of a delinquent collector. A Piece of Parchment, When unwrilUm on, is not more colorless than the cadaverous countenances of those unfortunate persons whom we are accus tomed to call "confirmed invalid.

Iu no class of diseases is there so much "putting of! till a 'rvire convenient sea son," or more damage caused by delay, as iu diseases of the ear. As you value your hearing, tend to it as soou as the least failure is noted, wueu it is as easily cured as other ailments. Maggie Barbick, Etna, Pa., had a most agonizing pain in her right ear, the result of an old neglected trouble causing a very large polypus to fill the ear tightly. She consulted Dr. Sadler, ml Penn Avenue, whose skill in diseases of the ear enables him to secure satisfactory results iu every case. After ramoving the growth nis treitment removed all infi tmmation ; stopped all discharge and offensive odor. Such c.is os, neglected, lead to destruction of the Utiles in the ear, iullammatiou of the brain, and death. CATARACT BUNDNE.S-3-112 SaiTesMi in 1:3 oorations.

Dana and the Generals before Vickbnrg. In view of the late Charles A. Dana s exceptional gia for expressing his opin ion of individual men freely and explicit ly, there will be much curiosity to see the Iteeeinber number of McClure's Maga zine, wherein, as the publishers announce we are to have Mr. Dana's judgment on the generals in Grant's army before Vickslairg. These judgments were form ed immediately iu the lijld, and mist of tbem were originally writton therefrom, iu private letters to Secretary Stanton. It is safe to prophesy that whatever else they may be, they are such as to leave tli 3 reader in no doubt as to their import. Mr. Dana always called things by their simplest names and he was not needless ly cousiderate of personal sensibilities. The Children's Sapper. Now that the winter season is coming on, says Harper's Bazar, the cbildreu will miss the berries aud fresh fruits that in the summer varied the monotony of their simple nursery supper. For this reason the mother niust give a little thought to the matter of variety in the menu, that the little ones do not weary of bread and milk and cease to enjoy their evening meat. It is easy, by a little forethought, to plan simple yet agreeable surprises. One night let a disli of rice boiled plain and dry be served with sugar ar.d cream; on another, the bread may be accompanied by applesauce or plaiu fruit jelly. Tomato toast is always enjoyed, as is its nar relative cream toast. Toasted crackers sprinkled with salt and soaked in warm milk are appe tizing, aud arrowroot or tapioca jelly is considered a treat.
