A growiug business in this place dur ing the past few years has been tha ice man's. Twenty years aga there were only two or three ice houses in the town, the property of private citizens, who an nually harves-ed a crop of ice for the use of their own immediate families. Since thsn the number of private icehouses has rapidly iicreassd and since tho in troduction of town water several parties have erected large icehoasas, from which hundreds of patrons are supplied. The bisiness is said to be a proil table one and gives employment toa number of men.

Bysoiuj niiaai or other the patent yoke became disengaged, al lowing the tongue of the two-seated trap to fall to the ground, when the vehicle pushed forward agaiust the heels of tbe spirited team, and caused them to run away. Mr. Lowry was dragged over the dash-board aud a considerable distance over the rough pike before be let go cf the reins but Ihe otdy injury i e sustain ed was the dislocation of oue of bis fing ers. His little daughter was thrown from the trap over a high fence, but for tunately escaped serious injury. Tbe remaining occupants of the trap were un hurt. Tne only damage done to the trap was the snapping of the pole. When voung Fred Dupont, of Rock wood, learned one day lst week that he bad been trapped by . detective who had been sent to that place by tbe B. A O.

A parlor concert given at the Highland Inu on Saturday evening was tbe leading social event of tbe week, and was thor oughly etjoyed by the guests of that resort and by a large number of tue music loving ladies and gentlemen of Somerset. The audienee numbered le tween two and three hundred, occupying every seat in tbe commodious ball room, while the younger element stood in dus ters around lb porch windows, through which the strains of melody floated gratefully to their listening ears. The program included numbers by Mrs. William Wolfe, one of tbe most aao-ompliwbed vocalists of Pittsburg, who is summering at the Inn. She sings with the ease and abandon of . bird, and ber highly cultivated and powerful soprano does not suiter iu comparison with some of the most notable operatic celebrities, tier reuiiition oi tjueen oi thi Firth." by Pinsuti, gave a well de fined conception of the coin pass and (lex t ility of b r vole, and, in .lditiou. she sang so as to mike every word intelli gible a somewhat rare faculty and wa given an ovation of geu iisie applause when the l ist note died away. She gave "Thou Wilt Coma .j M re " for an encore. Mrs. J. G. Simpson, also of Pittsburg, presented a pleasing contrast, being tbe possessor of an exceptionally aweel staccato soprano, revealing the effsetsof eulture aud sludr, which must bring un told pleasure to the favored ones who have frequent opportunities ot hearing her use it in the quiet of her home. She sang the chiiruiiug ballad "Open Tby Lattice," eliciting unstinted commenda tion, and rendered the familiar, but none the less welxi.na, billad "Jamie Dear." by special request. Mr. Fay Lloyd, one of the best known and most popular Pittsburg amateur violinists, executed the "Romanic in F," by Beethoven, arousing but audience to a high pitch of euthusiasm, and at iu conclusion was greeted by a perfect storm of applause, to tbe notice.) le em barrassment of the gifted youug artist, who exercises the striugs of his instru ment entirely for bis own gratification and the pleasure be can afford his particular frieuds, without thought of being classed as a public performer. Should Mr. Lloyd ever appear as a public performer it is predicted with much confidence that he will r piJly take a position in tbe front of the sparsely filled rank of skilled performers on stringed instrument.. Miss Grace Musselman'. rendition of tbe "Cradle Song," by Xevin, and "The Flatterer," by Chaminade, was . revela tion of technical skill and artistic feeling which went to illustrate that music of a high order can not only be composed but can be satisfactorily interpreted by a woman. Miss KUie Snyder, of Somerset, whose reputation as a performer on the piano forte is too well established to require en comium in this connection, accompanied Mr. Lloyd. The Lambert brothers executed a man dolin and guitar duet with their usual dash and brilliancy, and a chorus of lit tle girls sang "America," Tbe concert was given for the benefit of the local Children's Aid Society and tbe receipts amounting to . considerable sum will be a welcome contribution to tbe treasury of that disserving charity. A CSVSCItVAS'I YIXW Of tit IsrsagVa OfcUf aiioni U Tax;ayn i. tat Cm ef VaUr. Edito Herald: A remonstrance on the part of town council against th? unnecessary waste of water and abase of water privileges on the part of water c- nsunjera ha brought out from "Tax Payer" some criticism of tbe management of the water works, which are boxed chiefly on the fact that sevnral part ins outside of the borough, along with tbe new hotel, are supplied with water, aud this Mr. "Taxpayer" aeems to think a sufficient excuse for vi olating the rules against wasting the wa ter aud sprinkling the fronts fr those who might pay for such use as well as himself, but who will not do so as long as "Taxpayer" and his fellow-holders of sprink ling privileges will do so for him. But, since this matter has been publicly referred to, the writer, although he does not consider himself responsible for the fact that tw houses next tbe borough line ( but outside the borough) at the end of Main Cross street, are supplied with borough water, would reralud "Taxpay er" that while it is expressly allowed by law that a borough may supply outside parties, be is inclined to believe with "Taxpayer" thai outside parties should come in and become . part of the bor ough before obtaining these privileges. There are, however, two sides to the question. So far as tbe new hotel is con cerned, these are some of the reasons that had weight in granting their application for water: We believe all of the parties interested therein, except one, are large taxpayers within the borough and are residents thereof. Tbe borough is certainly under some obligations to Mr. George IL Tayman, who has some interest in the hotel, in that be gave the needed land for the res ervoir site and right of way for a reason able price, wheu he jnight have been stubborn and delayed the construction of the water works by several years' law ing- iu the courts. While of course the hotel is being run primarily for tbe benefit of tbe owners, yet, it must be admitted that it will in many ways prove a benefit to the town. It being entirely within the law it was found difficult to get around these reasons. We will now look at tbe matter from a business stand point. Tbe hotel people in their application stated that they might need as much as 2,0iO,0uO gallons a year. If they consume uy such quantity as that their water bill for a year will be $ -S5 and a reading of the meter from the 1st of July to August 7th shows that they are usiug water at a vastly greater rate than 2,0ou,GU0 gallons a year, and it will all have to he paid for. It certainly cannot very well oe argued that it is prejudicial to the borough to supply water, especially as outside of tbe meter the borough was under no expense in making tbe connections. Looking at tbe matter and taking ev erything iuto consideration we do not think "Taxpayer's" criticisms are well taken. It is expected that the lots iuto which a large part of the farm about the hotel has been plottexl, will, in time, be built on aud handsome addition to the town in that direction will be the result of the opening of this new hotel and the peo ple who will do this will undoubtedly ask for water privileges and to grant them will cost some money, and as a councilman we believe that it will be no more than our duty to say with Mr. "Taxpayer," you will first have to come into the borough. Cot'Si'lLMAX. Trom Camp Thomas. Editor Herald: Company I seems doomed to' disap pointment. Tbe prospects of facing the enemy are daily growing less encourag log. The thought of returning home without our having smelled gunpowdor is not at all pleasing to the volunteers here in camp. Bjt whatever the future may develop it can never be said that we did not wish to see active service. An order to break camp to go to either Porto Rico or the Philippines would be received with great enthusiasm. The monotony of camp life, without any prospects ofa chinge, is causing many of the boys to lose their enthusiasm. toe of two things must soon happen. If the peace negotiations are unsuccessful we are likely to see all the service we are looking for, while on the other hand if peace is declared, we will soon be back "Amongst the hills o' Somerset." It is not the soldier's dnty "to reason why," but to d o as he is ordered, so if we are mustered out of the service it will be no fault of ours. There have been no changes of any im portance in our camp life since my last letter. There have been details of nine men from each company to prepare nsw camp grounds for the Fifth and by the time you receive this we will be located in a more healthful position than we .. e at present. Colonel Burchtield baa received orders from division headquarters requiring that all the men of his regiment-shall use only boiled water f r drinking purposes.

After, review of the regiineut in companies by the Colonel, that officer inspected person ally every man iu tbe regiineut. After inspection the muster roll was called, and on Monday we signed the p-iy roll, but for some reason we h ive not yet received our first month's pay. Whiskers grow as fast here as th"y d "on the banks of the Wabash;" nearly every soldier wears several weeks growth and apparently foels as proud as a roos ter witii bis first spurs. A barber shop has recently been opeoed aud those who hive been fortunate enough to. have the price of a shave hive assumed a natural appearance. However, the "Bill PritU" style is all the go, and most of us look as though we bailed from the "moonshiue" district back of Trent. James Sechler, who had beeu in the hospital for . few days, has returned to his quarters much improved in health. Charles Shaffer aud Harry Deiti are still at the hospital, but both are getting along nicely. Shaffer is able to be up and about.

Tbe new scale of assessment of tbe Royal Arcanum is to t-ike effect on Au gust 31st. It is based on an apportion ment of eighteen assessments on the old scale, but is divided into twelve payments and will be paid monthly. By this ar rangement the payments will always be due at a regular time. It was decided by tbe Supreme Council to establish an emergency fund, to be se curely invested, the iucome to be used to meet tbe mortality from old age, without requiring extra assessments. Another reason for tbe change was that the war risk had to lie met and the mem bership had this to pay as the price of pa triotism, as the Royal Arcanum is carry ing all the soldiers who hold policies and has already paid the claims of men killed in the war. One assessment was provided for this risk and tbe two for the emergency fuud, make the assessments number twen'y-one according to tbe present scale. It has been decided to abolish tbe bone fit certificate fee, while the interest on bank balances of the Widows and ( r phaus' Benefit Fund, heretofore used in tbe general fund, will be applied to and become part of that fund. Big Price For a Broke. Heart. Not long since a Danville, III., jury or dered tbe male defendant in a breach of promise case to pay the competent sum of $oJ,Uo3 to theaillictedtairone. Though it is a pretty high estimate of blighted af fection, there ia another estimate which. If not in dollars and cen s exactly as high, yet in general consideration of excellence reaches as lofty an altitude.

She was a daughter of the late William Moore, . millionaire coke manufacturer, and seven years ago married U. Ioley Rio' ardson, of Baltimore, M L, who was not possessed of a great deal of wealth. The couple Lved in Baltimore for a time, but returned to Greensburg, occupyiug a magnificent residence. After his father-in-law's death Die yeung husband be came interested in sports and was for a long time at the head of a cycling club. A year and a-half aga Mr. Richardson left Greensburg, and, it is said, took up his residence in Baltimore. The couple have two children. It is said no defense will be made.

The report of tbe secretary of internal a.Tairs has arrived, and a glance over its pagrs shows that Pennsylvania is a state of considerable pretensions. One of tbe first things to greet the eye. is a statement that the valuation of real estate alone iu tbe commonwealth reaches the magnifi cent total of f2,8lt,5lo,927. The money at interest in Pennsylvania amounts to f.7o,7U,000, or at least that is the amount confessed to the assessors, for no doubt exist, that considerable Is not reported. Tbe debt owed by the various counties ia no small sum either, being Juj.975.000w To carry on the county government annually costs, for tbe whole state, above &!,000,000. The man who is familar with tbe, roads of Pennsylvania would be surprised to know that an annual outlay of nearly SIO, 000,000 is required to keep them In their infamous condition : but that ia what goes for that purpose, not including ths ex penditure, by cities for paving and mak ing the only really good roads made. To support the poor of the slate takes 12,- 404,000. and $Uu5,O0O comes from the taxpayers for the schools, not count ing tbe additional Jj.5O0.00O contributed by the Slate for the same Uudable pur pose.

A special from Washington to the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette on Mon day says: Captain K. K- Robbing, quartermaster on the staff of Brig.-Geo. Wiley, who baa been here several days, will leave to morrow morning for Camp Thomas to resume his duties. Captain Robbina saw the President again yesterday and made another effort to have th: Fifth Regiment Pennsylvania volunteers in cluded in the reinforcements for Porto Rico, but was unsuccessful. As it is. General Wiley and his staff will be the only Pennsylvania!! in the reinforce ments, and it is even probable that they will never leave these shores. With peace so near at band it is argued that General Miles will already have enough troops to garrison Porto Rico, and it would be useless to forward tho reinforcements. Thus the Tenth aud Sixteenth regiimnta will be the only Peun'a regiments to see service at the front aud carry ff honors. This is con ceded to be rather bard for a State that furnished two goneral officers and l'',oo0 men. The splendid record being made by the Sixteenth regiineut iu the Porto Rico campaign is generally commenud on and the prediction is freely made that Col. Hulingsj bas earned his star and will return as a brigadier-general. Bheumatitm Cured 1. a Day. "Mystic Cure" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia radically cures in 1 to 3 days.

A correspondent writing from Addison says : Quite an excitement prevailed in tbis vicinity yesterday and to-day over the result, of a'raid on what is popularly called, around here, Snake Deu. Tbis so called 'deu" is a I edga of rocks in tbe Allegheny mountains about two miles east of here which rises from fifty to two hundred feet in height, and presents a very wild and rugged appearance, well calculated to encourage tbe popular no tion that it is a great rendezvous for rattlesnakes. During the past few weeks these snakes have become very troublesome, and from the numbers seen and the frequency of their appearance, it became apparent that there was an extraordinarily large number of rattlers In tbe neighborhood. As a rule these snakes harbor themselves in tbe den in the wintertime, w hile in the summer they scatter over the country, living in the woods; but tbe long con tinued rainy weather of the present sea son seem, to have driven tbem in large numbers to the vicinity of their winter home. The people nearest them became very much concerned about the matter until finally a body of citizens organized yester day aud made a raid on the den. After ar riv ing at the place they were not long iu locating anakes by the dozens and from the stories of tbe battle they must bave had quite a warm time for a while. After being out only .few boars they counted nd fouud they had killed altout seventy snake, measuring from above four feet down, and a large number of little ones. The large snakes averaged nine and ten rattles each. Only a few weeks previous to this some parties visiting the place ran unexpect edly upon 3 nest of rattlers and killed eighteen before stopping. Tbe residents of tbe southern part of Somerset county are hoping that the immense slaughter just perpetrated will effectually prevent tbe rattlesnake, from becoming a serious nuisauce in the community.
