It is perhaps just as well that the Asso ciate Judges have adopted tLis means of requiring tbt-ir constituents to examine t'uo Auditor General's reports in order to asce -tain tbe ii a in ber of day s for which they draw a per diem ; whileon the other hand it may be that they have some n sideration for the people living within hearing distance of the bell's iron tongue. A short ses-'ion of criminal Court is always a g sd sign ar.d shows a healtby condition of the morals of the communi ty. T ere are still, however, many cases brought iuto our court w hi h should never come in. They should be adjusted before the magistrates. The court has no time vo spend in listening to petty cases which should never le sent up for trial. They are an unnecessary expense U the county and should be settled at home. The court has frequently remarked upon this sut ject. That his words have done good in some instances no one will doubt. That they may be heeded in all every Is dy will hope. The alarm occasioned throughout this section of the slate by the announcement that small pox was epidemic In Bedford has measurably subsided. The Bedford papers iusi-t th.it only a few c:tes of varioloid aud those in a very mild form have appeared up to this time and that every precaution has and is being taken to stamp out tbe loathsome disease.

Ksabb A Co., a firm of wealthy lumber merchants, operating at Krug, Garrett county, Md., have let the contract for the construction of a road that will give Oakland almost a direct railroad line to Pittabarg and fch rten tbe distance between the two points more than 50 miles. The new road will extend from, a piint near Oakland to Krier.dsville, where it will connect with a branch of tbe B. i O. at Confluence. Besides open ing op rich lumber and coal regions the road will be a great advantage to Pi'-le-burg people who may -"esire to go to tbe mountains to spend the sj timer. About 10 o'clock Tuesday morning fire broke out in the fl wiring mill of Jacob Hotfman t Son, at Jecnera, and in a short time the structure was a mass of smouldering timber and twisted iron. The fire originated, it is said, from the rollers becoming overheatexl. A hydraul ic cider press, a large quantity of grain, and a stock of manufactured flour were also consumed. The loss is fi.0. with no insurance. The mill belonged to X-ah fchitfer until a few dys ago. when it was sold at (sheriff's sale an 1 was purchased by the Messrs.

A wedding In which many readers of tbe 11ekaLI will be interested was cele brated on Wednesday evening, December 14 h, when Miss Lou A. Moore became tbe wife of Mr. Robert II Ross.

For a few year past tbe bride bas beo one of tbe most successful achool teachers ia tbe county aud enjoys the esteem of a wide circle of friends who admire ber beauty and vivacity.

The jury, which had been selecle . at the morning aud afernoon session, aod was waiting to be sworn, was discharged. Meyers was brought into court Wednes day morning and all- r being arraigue.1 for murder iu the first degree for tbe killing of Michael Carney entered a plea of "not guilty." The prisoner was seated j During the three days' aud eveningses alur.e at his counsel's table when be was sions the exer.-ises consisted of talks and ordered to stand cp. A moment before lectures by Hon. N. B. Critchlield, tbe Att.ruy IlolLert bad whii-perd a few words iu bis tar, but they were evideutly not words of eucoursgeu.ent, since the defendant was setmiLgly ludifTertut to lhe s.-ent s about him and to the crowd that occupied every seat ia the court room. He wore a red and blue speckled shirt and collar Hud a glaring red and blue ne. L tie, under a black cutaway coat. Meyers has lit appreciably in weight siuce bis isir.liueroeut in Jail, but outside of a skin eruption ou bis face he appears to I erji.-yiug good hialtb. He did not move a aiuscie or change expression while the clerk was reading the indict- met t against him, and when the time ea.ne for biin to pltad he said "not guil ty,'' in a firm low tone. Later in the day his brother took a seat at the counsel ta ble hen he and Peter entered into an animated conversation. The work of selecting a jury was an eay matter; ouly thirty-two jurors were called, from whom the twelve men to pas upon tae guilt or innocence of the de fendant were selected. Meyers looked intently into tbe iace of every juror ex amined, but rua lo no comment to his at torneys. There was a suspicion of m oist ure about his eyes during the . lamina tion of tha jurors but he cotitrollod his feelings with i i.irable tact. Counsel for the defendant moved for a continuance as soon ss the case wasc&lled bat their motion was overruled by Judge Doty. They renewed their motion afier the jury h i 1 been selected snd it was not until afier the officer rrported that Mrs. Keiler would be unaole to appottr iu court that they succeeded iu gaiuiug their poitt, Death of D actor Pawling.

Ou Wednesday, 7th iust., the Dx-tor went to Jenuers ic response to a call for his pro fessional services and when he returned home he fell out of bis sleigh and laid in the alley way in front of his stable for possibly an hour before his groans at tracted the a;iention of a lad who waa passing along Turkeyfoot street. Ai soon as Mrs. Pawling was notified of b-r b isbind's c mdition she sn n - vie i aid to carry him iu o the house, aud se--t for Doctor Shaffer. It was apparent that the D telor was suffering from a stroke of pa ralysis and be remained in a comatose ondition until the following morning, wlion he t sk a turn for tbe better and re g iinel the use of his voice. He said that be must have been stricken when five or six miles north of town, but that his Issly was beuumbed by the cold and he did not realize what had happened. There wis marked improvement in his condi tion after Thursday and on the day of his death be was able to put on bis clothes and move about tbe h una. Thursday evening he ate a very hearty supper and an hour afterwar ia was again stricken with paralysis ; the disease reached bis b irt and caused instant death.

When President McKinley visited the Tuskegee colored institute in Alabama last week be saw w hat tbe colored man can do for himself if he is given half a chance. Booker T. Washington, tte tal ented colored man, believes in educating the bead and tbe baud at the same time, and that is the principle that baa been followed at Tuskrgee, where good schol ars and go si tnex-habUware turned out s the same time. It must have all been very interesting to the President, espe cially tbe display of articles made by tbe student. (I bas not been so many years ago that a colored man who tried U- gn an education was looked upon as a mis chievous individual and was lia'ile to get whipped, while if be dislayed any apti tude with tools be was gotten rid of as aoon as possible. Times bave changed since tbe negro got half a chance in tbe 8 utb, and be is uiakiug a uiao of bimr self. The President will do doubt note all this, and be will be influenced by it in the future.

The "Farmers' Experience Meeting'' was an interesting future, e.nnposed of representative farmers from eight or nine distant townships, conspicuous among whom was a large delegation from Elk Lick. Senator Critchfield, who has charge of tbe institute work in a territory consist ing of one fourth of the State, is specially qualified for the position of organizer. His ability to supply bright and hsppy pleasantries and repartee at the proper time, reinforced by his varied experience, first as a teacher iu his early days, then as a miuihter, a chaplaiu in the Union ar luy, as a busiuess man at Ml Pleasant, and later connected with the Ml Pleasant Institute, two term as County Superiu teudeul of Public Instruction, Prolhono tary of the county, and a member of the Slate Seuate during two terms, discharg ing all of his duties with credit to the people he was chosen to represent and to himself. Prof. Heiges has also had extensive ex perience in educational work of a high order, ami later bas been identified with the Stale College,' and with the National Bureau of Agriculture at W asbi ngtnn. He is coiirtiJered a high authority on fruit culture, treatment of uon productive or chards, etc. His several talks were very instructive and entertaining. Dr. Frcar spoke on the "Waste From the Stable and Barnyard," in which he referred U the chemical action of various substances and fertilizers wilh their rela tive value in connection with Ibe produc tion of cereals, grass its, etc., aud in turn of the'r relative value in tho production of (losti, milk, butter, etc The query box called forth a number of interesting discussions aud addresses, including a talk on "Hygiene," by Dr. W. S. Mountain, of Confluence, and one by Dr. Heiges, who made some interest ing remarks in reeard U the proper ven tilation of schiMiIrooms. The courtship and marriage of farmers was, we believe, Uot mentioned, nor was "Phrcunlogy" a subject for discussion at the experience meeting, although the "sleek - talking agent," who bore the farmers so fre quently, received a left-hauder from an Addison agriculturist, but the speaker failed to instruct his bearers how. to dis tinguish between an honest and dis! ou est agent. The Farmers' Institute held last week at Hooversville, proved to ba-one of tbe most interesting meetings ver held in this section of the county. Prom the first session to the close of the meeting the greatest interest was manifested, and the large church, which hai a seating capaci ty of about five hundred people, was at times crowded to overflowing. At the close of the session tbe following resolu tions were unanimously adopted: H'uilrft, That the present meeting has thoroughly convinced us of the value of Farmers' institutes as a means of educa tion lor the farmer ami bis family, and that we appreciate the provisions made by the Slate authorities for carrying on Ibis work. ll-.ttdrnl. That the thanks of this insti tute are hereby tendered to the members of the Lutheran Church of Hooversviile, for tbe use of their house of worship in which to hold our meetings, and to the choir for their prompt attendance and excellent music which has added so much to the interest of our tneetiugs. Also to the State Instructors for their interesting lectures ou tbe various subjects presented during our sessions. ltrlvfl. That the thanks of this insti tute and the farmers of ibis eud of the county are du6 and are hereby tendered to the local committee on institutes for se lecting this locality for holding one of the Farmers' Institutes of the present year, and resolved further, that as citizens and farmers liviug in the north of the county, we earnestly protest against any one sec tion of tbe county receiving more than a jut share of these meetings, and we in sist that the persons having this matter in charge shall arrange fir holding these meetings at various points, giving to each section of the county north, south, east west and center its fair share.

S Aa Old Cnetom Revived. In former years the custom of making holiday calls, especially on New Year's Day, was, in this country practically universal. This custom, because of the strain involved in lhe attempt to dis cbarge a yeai's social duties in the space of a few hours, has fallen into disfavor. Tbe cuxtom as originally observed, however, was tiot without commendable features; for before the advent of those hard and fast conventionalities which finally made it more burdensome than enjoyable, there was a hearty and cordial simplicity maintained which did much to promote genuine good fellowship and friendly interest. During the present holiday season, an effort is to be made here in Somerset to revive, in a aeuse, the origiiial idea of friendly ca lling. Tbe aim of those iden tified with the movement representa tives from all the Sunday Schools in town is first, to carry to every Somerset home expressions of a genuine interest and good will from the Sunday Schools, and second, to obtain in tbe various homes simple and easily furnished data which, are to be tbe basis for future plans look ing to tbeoommon interest and prosperity of both homes and schools. The natural aud intimate relationship which exists between the borne aud the Sunday School should and doubtless will eoliat the hearty co-operation of all the people in our homes, so that, when oa the afternoou of Tuesday, Dec. 27tb, the representatives of tbe Sunday Schools call, they will be received with tbe same cordiality, kindly interest, and spirit of helpfulness with which they come.

Won and Lost. Topeka, Kan., December 1. The Slate Cinvassiug board decided a tie between A. E. Scott, Republican, and L. M. Marks, Populist, candidates for the Legislature irom Jelfersou county, by ordering the drawing of lots. Mr. Scott won, but did not demand his certiScste, going home with Ibe expectation that it would be sent by mail. Before the certificate was sent, however, tbe mid-Pacific ocean vote cast by the Twentieth Kansas en route to Ma nila was received. Upon examination one vote was found for Mr. Marks. Accord ingly the State canvassing board reversed its decision and issued a certificate to Mr. Marks.
