A Jennertown, Somerset County, corre spondent tells us of a boy preacher of that community who has been attracting widespread attention during the past few weeks. He is twelve years old and his name is Kddie Witt, being a son of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Witt. It is said that at the age of six or seven the lad could be feen iroing to the orchard with a Bible and hymn book and attempting to preach before he was able to read. His first effort iu the pulpit was mad j at eleven. our informant says, ami at a series oi meetings conducted for the past few weeks at Jennertown the boy preached several sermons. Immense crowds were attrai-ted and his hearers are said to have ben deeply impressed with the power aid ebiqueuce of the youthful preacher. Johnstown Tribune.

A SHAMEFUL RECORD Cited by Coamisiiontri ShoW and Xim Mel Under Fira of Taxpayer for Prof ligacy and KumanagtrasBt. WILL STASD AKD FALL TOSZIHEi The hot shot lired at Commissioner Shobcr and Kimincll by the press of the county has finally driven th se amiable gentlemen from the bushes, and, in tho last issue of the "fake" organ their uamea appear under an article containing an ap peal to the riiizcus of the county who were induced to vote for them under the mUtakeu impression that they were tax rolormers and would Maud an a l-arrier ls-twet.n the Uxpayers and the sharks w horn they charged with having preyed upon the county treasury, to sund by them. They assert that the censure that has been poured upon them by an out raged public emauates from parties hav ing political axen to grind, apparently failing to realize that the Uxpayers of the county have declared a determined warfare ou sham roformers, and have re solved to secure a more wise and econom ical management of public affairs in the future. Could anything be more grotesque than their claim that Uxatiou has been sys tematically coming down siuee the day they assumed tho duties of the commis sioners' oiliee? They might with as much propriety charge the honest taxa ble of Somerset and Milford townships with being responsible for "the crime of '7T' as to ask them to believe sach an ut terly absurd aud preposterous proposi tion. Tho county Ui assessed in liolh of these districts iu lsyj was considerably less than the tax a.siesDd in the same districts in IS::, and if the assessors' tri ennial return Just made remains undis turbed and the county millage remains the same as in the yeirs mentioned, the tax collectors of Somerset tied Milford will demand almost twice as much as they did iu ISCj. Taxpayers iu other districts, who have been compelled to exercise leggarly economy during the past teu years in or der to supply bread for their families are in position to answer whether their taxes have been as systematically reduc ed by the alleged parsimonious and close- fi.-ted administration of Sholer and Kimmell as they were in the districts in which these distinguished reformers have their homes. With the bliudness of unsexed advo cates of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one, they quote a lot of sUtistics, just as interested parties did two years ago, when they at tempted to make the farmers believe that the price of silver and the prioe cf wheat had gone hand in hand ever since the dawn of creation, whereas the figures they quote show that taxes have gradual ly advanced from year to year since Messrs. Shober and Kimmell have been in a positiou to manipulate the valuations and taxes. VALUATIONS IXCREASKD ON rKrBKOIATKD I. AX 1S. Is it possible that two such gifted busi ness men and tax reformers are ignorant of the fact that farming lauds throughout Somerset county have depreciated to an alarming extent during the post ten years, nd that a majority of tho timber lauds have lieeu reduced to barren wastes? Do they advocate a policy of increasing tax ation on depreciating real estate? Their argument would indicate that they favor such an unfair and inexcusable measure. This however, has no bearing on the question of the profligate expenditure that characterized the regime of these of ficials. No public improvementseffected under their administration are pointed out, save a new roof put on the county jail at a cost of some few hundrodsof dol lars, while they maintain a discreet si lence iu rf'g'trd to the i,ft expended for expensive aud unnecessary file cases for certain public oifices. MSPKOVKD BY THK Bli-OHI). The statement that they were confront ed by an empty treasury and a bonded indebtedness of fl3,5oo when they as sumed the duties of office in lstd, is not warranted by the records, which fchow that there was a cash balance in the treas ury of some 2,000 and available assets in the shape of outstanding taxes amouut ing to f I7,0(t The rellection cast upon their immediate predecessors is unwar ranted by the facts since they utilized a portion of the funds in the treasury to re deem couuty Ixmds bearing interest aud wisely called in one or more of the bonds having the greatest length of time to run. A special tax had been levied by order of court for the purpose of securing the pay ment of the interest and principal of the bonds and Messrs Williamson, Wagner and Neir left the treasury in such spleu did condition that continued wise and economical management would have can celled the entire county indebtedness in one or two years. The special tax was dropped for some reason which does nr t appear aud county bonds aggregating f 1.000 remain unpaid. Neither Mr. Sho ler or Mr. Kimmell will argue that these bonds can be redeemed, or the interest paid on them, with taxes assessed and collected for purely county purposes. Where did the money coino from to re deem the ditierence in tue oonoea in debtedness lea by Messrs Williamson, Wagner and Neff anil as it exists to-day? Were temporary loans made at six per cent, interest to which must le addid the treasurer's commission for the pur pose of redeeming bonds bearing 4 per cent, interest? The statement attributed to the county solicitor, that he has leen olwtructed in bringing the surcharges made by the county auditors into court is entirely gra tuitous since in no possible way could the auditors interfere with a prompt dis posals this matter, which a majority of the boards of commissioners and auditors have expressed a desire to have speedily determined by the proper authority iu order that the Commissioners may know ust where they sUnd in regard to tusk ing temporary loans and paying interest on orders issued vy taeir immeuiaie predecessors. REBATE SOW BROATCAST. A to rebates having been granted to favoiitw of CommLsioner, the assessor of one of the largest, most populous and wealthiest districts in the county, tells us that during his six or seven years tenure in office he was never notified but upon one occasion to appear at the commiss ioners' office to meet a taxable who felt aggrieved at the valuation placed upon his land, while it is susceptible of proof that a larpe number of reliates were is sued to taxable residing in his district w ithout the knowledge of the assessor. From Meyersdale comes the report tbat a taxable of that town rrceivrd a. rebate without solicitation from the hands of a Commissioner, and the same object of the commissioner's Ixmnty appealed to meniler of the present board fur the same liberal treatment. FRUIT. SCORN F.D llV O ABRIKT. CO in. Messrs Shober and Kimmell confess that thev have contracted for bridges 'privately whenever we found private letting the most profitable." No doubt about it in the world. Commissioners Good and Kretchman say tbat they were nvited to take a Junketing trip acros the sUtea short time after they were elected to of!l, and were promised that the trip would not cost tbem a cent. Mr. Good declared that he " could not be bribed in that way," and neither be nor Mr. Kretch man accepted the iuviution. Other coun tyoffleials and attaches of the commis- ioners office did. It is not at all singu lar therefore that the county commission ers condemned a bill presented at the re cent session of the legislature provbling that all contracts for bridge work should be let to the lowest bidder. Messrs. Shober and Kimmell declare that they succeeded in purchasing iron bridges one third cheaper than ever be- fc.ro in the history of the county, they dec'ai ' bat they purchased record used in their o'""e at lew than one-half the price paid b their predecessor, and other supplies In tn.1 Mine pmrortioD, , Having pnis.l.a4 brljaa aud other material used by the uiHy from j(J to T.i per ceut. cheaper than their prodecea aora, the question comes back from tho Uxpayers: "What did you do with the county funds?" Coufast the condition of the county buuts w hen Messrs Shober -and Kim mell assumed office in isyl with tho con ditions confronting the present board hcu ihej umumcj the duties of ollice in 17. As previously sUted Messrs. William son, Waguer aud Neff left a cash balance of some fi,000 in the treasury, with assets sufficient to meet the liabilities after they had expended f-.tW for the new county jail and some Jii.OnO for new bridges dur ing their last year in office, LKPT A. HOLE rsj TIIK TRKAWHV. ReferoiK-e to the Commissioners' rexrt of the receipt and expenditures of Som erset couuty for tho year lSJUj shows that the former reached U,000.3n, about five thousand dollars loss than the year the new jail was erected, while the expendi tures were put down at the appalling sum of 3i0,7i8.:i5, showing a deficit of fltt.96 for the year. The bonded indebtedness was stated to be H,(l0 and the current in debtedness as shown by orders issued and bills filed, was sUted to be JlT.fCilio or an alleged total county indebtedness of f2i53.SG, to meet which the report show ed assets iu the shape of ou UUiuli ng Uxes amounting to U,0st.G3, leaving a net de ficit of fc.-io7.32, which, tho Commissioners significantly add iu a foot note, will be largely increased by commissions exon erations rebates etc. After publishing the report of the con dition of the finances of the couuty es they appeared when they assumed the duties of the Commissioners' oflioe on the first Monday of Jauuary 1S.7, Commis sioners Kimmell, Good aud Kretchman have found the county indebtedess con tracted by their immediate predecessors to le largely in excess of the amount published iu their report for 1S30. Out standing orders and bills we are relubly informed, calling for thousands of dollars were not apparent until some time after the preseut board of commissioner were in ollice. Mr. Kimmell was defeated for re-election in isxi, aud was therefore not re sponsible for what transpired in the com missioners' office during 1SUI, lsuo and lSMi, but it appears that be wishes to bear a portion of the burden, since he has declared to the present board that they "should Uke care of the old board." Has Shober got a cinch on Kimmell? A Beautiful Berries On last Sunday evening all the regular services of the churches gave way to join in a memorial service to Miss Frances K. Willard, in the P.vangelical Lutheran chnrch. A quarter of an hour before the time for opening all seat were filled aud the ushers were carrying in benches and chairs for the aisles Many people stood, many more went away. Oue of the needs of Somerset is a hali large enough for oc casions. The church was lautifully decorated with a profusion of white flowers mingled with bows of " The White Ribbon." A picture of Miss Willard was draped in white over the rostrum, aud on it an empty chair was beautifully draped and decorated. The choir rendered an appropriate an them, and Miss Shafer and Mrs Piatt sang a beautiful duet. Rev. Hoover read a psalm, and Mr. Vogel lead in an appro priate and fitting prayer. After singing "Lead, Kiudly Light," one of Miss Wil lard' favorite hymns Rev. King gave one of his characteristic and suggestive Ulks on "The Place Miss Willard Hold iu the Heart." "Others," he said, "had been grout, but gratitude did not crown them, nor strew in their pathway, nor cover their graves with a profusion of flowers." Rav. Cameron spoke touch ing!? and beautifully on the last words of Miss Willard: "How beautiful to be with God !" He laid stress ou the thought that life is not reckoned by the r. umber of years of our lives, but by the noble ness of our thoughts, words aud deeds. Rev. Muilendore spoke of some of the achievemenU of Mi9 Willard. ;a the whole we thiuk the service was timely, enjoyable aud profiuble. One comes from such a meetiug braced with a strengthened purpose, and with the belief that the world, after ail, is better than we know. If it doe not heed the words of its proph ts, it has heard them, and wor ships the truth it h is not the courage to live. One feel more the truth of the apology Christ offers not ouly for hi dis ciples but for us all: "The spirit, indeed. is willing, but the (lesh i weak." Whn one can fuel tho justice of this apology f r human weakness tben one can work with something of the Master's marvelous faith. -There is one thing harder than death, nd that is to be forgotten. How many orumbling monuments from the huge pyramids and obelisks of Kjypt to the J ro igh stone set up over the lonely grave where love has wept and wrought, testify toour love to lie remembered. Christ was human enough to long to bo remembered. "Do this in memory of me." One need n A loug to be remembered by a world that ould forg-H Christ. Jesus would not trust his inamory to treacherous blocks of granite; those grow dumb with age; or, if they speak, they speak In an un known tongue, aud give us the sound of an empty name. Jesus wrote his epitaph on human hearts and now these speak in the universal tougue love. Jesus saw lb) world's need of a Savior, gave Li in -se.f to le that Savior, and the world can not forget him. Frances Willard was one of the really great disciples of Christ. S io saw tbat the "race needed mother ing." gave herself to the work, and the world will not forget her. We have bad no better example of late of the great ness of a servant, nor a better illustration of the truth tbat the way to be remem bered i to be forgetful of self.

The stupid scheme hatched in the office of the county Jjomniisxioners, responsi bility for which must rest upon the shoulder of Gen. F. Kimmr-U, of inflat ing the valuation of all property subject to county taxation, h is b-n hlted by the exposure made thr-nigh the columns of the Herald, and tha grateful assur ance that taxaliou will not be increased now ouios from the ommis-shiuers' ollico. What objtx4 Commissioner Kimmell had in view, when be declined to accept the returns of various assessors who were sworn to value the taxable property in their respective districts at such rates as they believed they would sell at a bona fide sals until after they had materially increased the valuations originally re turned, must remain a matter of conject ure. And the object of the same official in adding 10, 20. or 30 per cent, to the valuations conscientiously returned by the assessors must also remain a matter of conjecture. That both were done has been amply demonstrated during the past two weeks by hundreds of angry Uxpayers who have visited Somerset at great personal expense and inconvenience for the purpose of protesting agaiust tho arbitrary action of the Commissioners' office. The valuations returned by the asses sor who made the triennial assessment for ISM aggregate over 111,000,000, or f 1, jX),(X) more than ever before was return ed in the county. But in view of thii tremendous Increase Commissioner Kim mell added from 10 to 20 per cent, addi tional in nearly every district, thus swell ing the total county valuation to over ?iz,cou,ooa this was done too with a full knowledge of the fact that farming lands have greatly depreciated in value in every district in the county. It is therefore, not surprising that hundreds of farmers woke up to find that their lax- able property had been assessed at a figure largely in advance of its actual value aud far in advance of its cost. Aggrieved taxable have visited the commissioners' office in great numbers for the purpose of appealing from the valuation placed upon their proporty. and in every instance the percentage added by the commissioners has been re moved, aud in a great many iustancos the valuations returned by the assessors have been materially reduced. Could a greater farce and outrage be conceived. In the first place the tax payers of the couuty were put to addi tional and unnecessary expense in order to have the assessors inflate valuations and afterwards they were compelled to come to Somerset at personal expense and inconvenience for the purpose of securing the rights accorded thorn under the laws of the State. Hundreds of tax able would have remained at home, sat isfied to pay tax ou the valuation assess ed against their property by the asses sors, but when they found that Commis sioner Kimmell had placed an additional burden upon them they were righteously iudignaut and their vigorous protests reverberated throughout the temple of justice. That Commissioner Kimmell has not been insensible to the indignation he has created throughout the county by his official officiuusuess is manifest by a card he has published addressed "To the Tax able of Somerset County," in which he says: "There ia no necessity for an in crease of taxes and there will be no in crease, and it was never intended there should be." In the name of high heaven, what was intended? Why were assessors urged to raise valuations after they had made their sworn returns? Why was an addi tional percentage added to the assessors' returns? Did Commissioner Kimmell hope to increase sUia reputation as a tax reformer by raising the valuation on de preciating projierty, or did he propose to hoodwink the taxable by swelling val uatious and reducing the county millags Mr. Kimmell admits that the couuty receipt last year were more than suffi cient to meet the expenditures and add that there is no necessity for increased revenue in 1S3S and more will not be levied. He ha also acceded to the Hkr alo's demand aud promises to remove the percentage in all districts where the same were added in the commissioners' ollice, without compelling taxpayers to visit the county seat for the purpose of protesting against the same. The truth of the matter is that Commis sioner Kimmell has been playing a bunco game, and now that he has been exposed, he has no excuse to offer for bis over zealousness unless he bugs the delusion t'tat the taxpayer will not criticise bis next annual itemized bill for services when they Bee the number of days be has charged the county for "attending ap peals" Another inconsistency on the part of Commissioner Kimmell Is illustrated by hia conduct in regard to the a.ses.snieut of bis home district of Milford. When Assessor Critchfield made Lis return Mr. Kimmell declined to accept it and indi cated with a pencil, after the name of a few, if not all of the taxable of tbat dis trict, the sums which he thought they should be assessed. Assessor Critchfield declared that be had made hi return under oath aud would not raise the val uations of his constituents higher than he conscientiously believed they should be. Mr. Kimmell insisted that be should lake his report home with him and vol unteered the information that he would be liberally compensated fjrlhi trouble he would be at In increasing the valua tions suggested. Assessor Critchfield was obdurate and left bis report at the Com missioners' office as originally made out. An appeal day was Gxed for the taxable of Mother Milford to be heard. A num ber of them came to Somerset on the day advertised, ouly to Cud tbat the notifica tion slips had never boon forwarded to the Assessor aud that none of the taxable of the township bad official knowledge of the valuation placed upon their prop erty. Milford will be heard from another day. What motive prompted Commissioner Kimmell to urge a higher valuation on his old friends and neighbors than the assessor returned under oath? Wbtt reasoa can he assign for wishing the as sessor to assume responsibility which be was unwilling to Uke upon himself? And iu the end why was be willing to see an additional porceutage placed upon his neighbor aud friend in the adjoin ing townships, which be has so for failed to place upon the farmers of good old Mother Milford? We indulge the hope tbat Mr. Kimmell will religiously keep hi promise to keep taxes as low as they were last year, and we congratulate the taxable of the coun ty upon the victory wou in their name by the Herald. Household Economy. One of the strong point of the Cinder ella Range is its cleanliness and economy. It has an extra deep ash pit, with bailed ash pan, and is so constructed that the ashes cannot accumulate nnder the grate. which is the chief cause of so many grates burning out.

Sholx r, county commissioner, for service ren dered the county during the year 1SH, which U here ith presented, will prove interesting aud iaUructive reading for the taxpayers of the county. It will le observed that Mr. Shober fc!t it incum bent upon himself to attend not only tie regular sessions of court, but he cLargid the county f i ,j0 per day for attending ad journed and fpecial courts Mow his pies ence could facilitate the transaction f court business taxpayers must judge. Mr. Shober devoted a considerable por tion of hi time to "revising pinks," Int fail to state whether he examined tax payer for pink-eye, or inspected the an nual sworu return ma Je by taxable of money at intere; subject to State taxa tion, which were made on ton pink-tinUd paper. The fact that M r. Shober charged the taxpayers for meals and lodging while in Pittsburg during the Exposi tion, and incidentally contracting for bal lots having telegraphed to home printers to bid on the same, is matter of as insig nificant importance as the additional charge for reading proof of ballots, which necessitated another trip to Pittsburg. The several day devoted to " making ready for election" and "making ready for settlement" must have witnessed stir ring sceues in the commissioners' office, since the matters pertaining to election could have been as readily discharged by the clerk alone as with the assistance of three commissioners at S.:.j0 per day each, and it should be the clerk's duty to prepare for the annual settlement. The charge on November 3d, "attend ing to election matters," will remind some six thousand voters that they also attended to election matters ou that day, which was the day of the presidential election, but we presume noue of them received $3.50 out of the county treasury for casting their ballots and performing their patriotic duty. - It should be added iu Mr. Sbober's favor that he found work oc his farm and attending to his cider-mill more profita ble than did hi official associates who received pay for more days than did be, but perhaps this was only a ruse to make the taxpayers believe that be was genu inely in favor of reform in the commis sioners' office, and that his associates were guilty of transacting public business during bis absence.
