The auditor's report of the receipts and expenditures of Somerset county for the year 1J7 appears elsewhere in this issue of the Hkrald, and we commend it to th: careful perusal of every tax payer in the county. The conclusion of the report is especially interesting inasmuch as it touches upon the profligate expenditure of the late board of commissioners ana riticises the system of book-keeping in vogue in that office. Mrs. Maggie L. Mellinger, nee Brugh, wife of John Mellinger, died at her home at Grantsville, Md., on February 3d, aged CI years, 9 months and 27 days. She was a daughter of the late Father Brugh, of Bakersville.

For many years she was a consist ent member of the Bakersville Lutheran Church. Mrs. Mellinger was a devoted wife and mother, and had many warm frieuds, who will mourn her death. She is survived by her husband and one son. Kev. C. F. Gebhart officiated at the funer al, which took place from tbe home of her rother Peter. Interment was made in the Bakersville cemetery.

The handsome residence of ex-Register and Recorder Jacob's. Miller, on the Stoyestown road, eight miles north of this place, was totally destroyed by fire be- ween nine and ten o'clock Thursday ighL Mr. and Mrs. Miller were enter taining a party of young people from the neighborhood of Prieden on Thursday evening, when, shortly after nine o'clock, one of the guests detected the fumes of burning pine. A hurried investigation showed that a well -developed fire was burning in another part of the bouse. All eif jrts to conquer the flames proved fruitless, and Mr. and Mrs. Miller aud tbe guests turned their attention to car rying the furniture on the first fl jor of the building to a plane of safaty, but tbe flames spread with such rapidity that they were birely able to save such arti cles of household furniture as wers easily removed. All the other contents of the bouse were lost. The burned building was erected by Mr. Miller some ten years aso. It was a three-story olructure, and was heated by Mean; and fitted op w itn many modern conveniences. There were few, if auy. bandsomerfirm-hauses in tb county.

The attendance at theopeniug session was small, but it is a matter of re gret that every farmer in the county could not nave been present aud heard the ad tnlrable addres delivered by Prof. John iiamiiton, Deputy-Secretary of Agrtcul ture, on Book-keeping for Farmers, and Farm Economy." The speaker advanced many new theories in thescionce of farm ing, perhaps the nitwit startling of which was the theory that it is more profitable to ieei cattle and horses in the barn than to allow them to range over the farm. fuiu kj i roi. Hamilton, this is no lunger a theory, but an absolute fact. wttich he corroborated by the production of figures and the recital of numerous in cidents. Incidentally thespeaker referred to the enormous annual expenditure made for fences aud fence repairs in Penn sylvania and urged farmers to do away with fences altogether, or at least with all but enough to euclose a rua for stock, wbich he asid should be a long strip in stead of the usual square field. J. U. Shoemaker, Ksq., of Philadelphia, attoruey for the Pure Food Commission, read an interesting paper on the work ac complished by that body, and the difficu 1 ties confronting the ageuts charged with euforciug the la prohibiting the manu facture and sale of oleo. Dr. J. T. Rothrock, State Forestry Com missioner, delivered a valuable lecture on "H ow Plants are Reproduced and Sus tained." At the evening session papers were read by C. B. Moore, on "Fertilizers," Miss Maggie Miller on "Fanner. Homes," aud O. P. Shaver, on The Farmers" Small Fruit Garden. TUESDAY MQRXIXO SESSION. The court room was crowdod at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, representative farmers from all parts of the county being present. many of them being accompanied by their w-ives and daughters. The principal feature of the session was an address by J. A. Fries, of State College, on "Lime and Marl aud Agriculture." The speak er gave a number of simple tests to be made in order to show w bother or not the soil would be benefitted by tbe judicious use of lime, and said that fifty bushels per acre as a rule was sufficient in a majority of cases, saudy soil requiring more than clay soil. At the afternoon session, C. B. Cochran, Chemist of the Pure Food Commission, delivered a highly entertaining and in- structivelectureon "Food Adulteration," in which he pointed out the injury done the farmers of Pennsylvania by the sale of cotton seed oil under tbe guise of lard, butter, etc. He also touched upon the adulteration ot npices, coffee, cocoa, etc. Dr. Leonard Pearson spoke for forty minutes on "Contagious Diseases of Ani mals." He prefaced his remarks by call ing attention to the fact that Somerset is one of four counties in the State that has not reported a contagious disease among its cattle during the past eighteen months. and for this reason he said tbe cattle of Somerset county must be in as good cou ditiou as they are anywhere in the coun try. The institute has so far been the most successful one held in the county, and interest promises to increase to-day and to-uiorrow, w hen it is altogether probable that hundreds of people will be unable to gain admission to tbe court room owing to the great number of persons w ho desire to take advantage of the intellectual feast that has been prepared for them.

Meyersdalo, Pa., February 5th, ls;i Faaie at a Byndman Funeral. A panic that might have resulted In great loss of life occurred in the Reform ed church at Hyndman last Sunday after noon. It was during the funeral services over the remains of Augustus Fisher, a member of the Grand Army of tho Re public, under the auspices of Capt, G. S. MuIIin Post, with Rev. A. C. Miller, of the United Evangelical Church, officia ting. The church is a one-story brick structure, and tbe auditorium and the Sabbath school-room w ere packed to tbe doors with five hundred people, while a great many more were outside the build ing. Tbs minister bad nearly finished his discourse, when cracking noises were heard in quick succession, caused by tho breaking of heavy timbers that support ed the floor. This was followed by the floor's sinking in several places, about six inches. The immense audience was at once thrown Into a wild panic. Women screamed and fainted, men shouted in a vain to restore order, and there was a mad rush for the doors, the corpse being for gotten in the excitement. A cry or fire added to the terror. Charles W. Weyant umped through a stained glass window. cutting his hand severely, and was quick ly followed by several terrified women, Mrs. Phillip Pizel fracturing her ankle. Rev. Mr. Miller escaped through a win dow near the pulpit, but quickly return ed and assured those remaining that all danger was past. A big bunch of icicles that had drop ped from the belfry of the church caused an impression that the roof was caving and partly accounts for tbe hasty efforts made to get out of the building. Order was finally restored and the sor- ioes were concluded without further mishap. The damage to the church building aud furniture will amount to several hundred dollars. Horses Wanted! El wood Webster, the well known horse dealer, will be at Somerset on Monday, February 7th, and will remain about ten days, to buy a car load of horses from 4 10 years old.
