Somerset County is perplexed orer the
Auditors' developments that the old
board of Commissioners managed affairs
loosely lant year. The boaned financial
surplus of twelve months ago has van-
isnea, and now the local government is
in debt. On January 1. 1kj9, there was
f 16.GUM cash in the county treasury aud
ouuu'jaing u.tes to tbe amount of fJO.
000. cr total available assets of (&OUU.
Against this was only an indebtedness of
fJ.tWO, leaving a balance of $27,000 in favor
of the county. To-day there ia a deficit
of several thousand dollars, besides un
paid bills aggregating J5,0U0 additional.
Commenting on such aa administration
of a trust, the Auditors say: The Com
iniHHiooers' minutes conuin little lucid
information ; they held unnecessary and
profitless sessions, where their salaries
amounted to more than the business
transaAed ; they supplied cseleaa blanks
for the Piiaonoury, of some kinds to
last a generation ; charged for lime spetit
in approving bills where the compensa
tion is fixed by law, and employed
sisuut counsel w hen they had already a

Cambria county attorneys have turned
up a bed sUte of affairs In connection
with the recent sates by the county com
missioners of that county, of lands sold
to them for tbe non-payment of Uxes.
The county com luissioners about a month
ago advertised and sold between three
and four thousand tracts of land, tbe title
to which became vewtM in tbe county at
tbe various treasurers' sales held during
the rat tfteen years and the amount of
tbe Uxes not being bid, tbe county under
the law was required to buy them. Tbe
county commissioners having accumu
lated a sufficient number to justify them
in having a sale, advertised and sold
them under tbe provisions of the act of
l!44, made deeds therefor, aod received
tbe purchase money the latter in some
instances amounting to considerable. It
now turns out that there is an act of as
sembly of K'l, whlcb requires that be
fore county commissioners may make
sale of "lands which may in any manner
become possessed of," they shall first
present their petition to the court asking
leave to do so, and tbe court shall fix a
day for a bearing, etc These formalities
were not complied with, and attorneys
here say that for this reason tbe sales are
Illegal and void. The legality of the
sales will probably be tested in an action
of ejectment a. an early date, as a num
ber of purchasers at tbe sales are deter
mined to hold .n to their Ux titles if
they can.

The Farmers Institute held here last
week was a very Interesting occasion and
attracted leading agricolturisU from
all sections of the county. Many ladies
were present and apparently took aa deep
an interest in the proceedings as their
husbands and fathers.
Gabriel Heister, a Dauphin county farm
er, was perhaps the most-noted of the for
eign visitors present, and be wss called
npon to give information along various
lines of farm work, which he did in a
moaC comprehensive way. His talk on
"Should Agriculture be Taught in the
Public Schools T" was timely, and suited
rosny of his hearers to thinking on an en
tirely r.ew liue. The query-box was res
ponsible for a number of animated dis
cusetaus. Including a humorous one, led
by P. K. Moore, concerning "Kicking
Cows." An essay by A. J. Sem bower, ou
"Poultry Raising," elicited so many fa
vorable oommeoU that it was decided
that it should be printed ie the next issue
of the Herald.
K1NOWOOD MEKTIXO.
Vor several weeks past the people of
Kingwood and vicinity had been look
ing forward to the coming of the Farmers'
Institute with a great deal of anxiety,
and now that it is over, all are agreed
that it proved to be one of the most pleas
ant as well aa p;uble meetings ever
held in tbe neighborhood. Tbe large
church building in which tbe Institute
was held was filled to iu utmost capacity
at every meeting. Representative farm
ers from Mil ford. Black, Middecreek, Up
per and Lower Turkeyfoot and Cone-
maugb townships were prompt in avail
ing themselves of tbe opportunity the In
stitute afforded to Uke counsel with each
other, to discuss questions of method
and markets in which they are mutually
interested, and listen to the instructions
of tbe gentlemen sent here by the Depart
ment of Agriculture to aid in tbe work.
Tbe regular attendance of the farmers'
wives and daughters of the community.
and their efficient help in the work of the
Institute, were notable feature of tbe
meeting. The strangers present express
ed their grandest ion at seeing the hearty
gd will with which everybody present
took hold of the work Tbe promptness
with which the young people of the com
munity, upou tbe request of tbe chair
man, organized a choir, and the cheery
music with which they interspersed the
exercises at every session, called form
expressions of praise from the Sute Lec
turers, and received tbe beaity approval
of ail ia attendance. The possibility of
holding a successful Institute in a country
church, where tbe attendauce Is made up
entirely of fanners and their families.
was proven to the satisfaction of all,
when, at the close of the last session, Mr.
Gabriel Heister. of Dauphin county, one
of the lecturers, in a brief farewell ad
dress staled that of tbe thirty-four Insti
tutes he had attended tbe present season.
none surpassed tbe King wood Institute
in in teres-, and that only one of tbe thirty-four
could be regarded as equal to it.
Before adjournment the following resolu
tion was adopted :
Resolved. That the thanks of this Ins
tate are due. aud are hereby tendered to
tbecnmuiittee having charge of the Farm
ers' Institutes in this county for placing
the present session at Kmgwooti; ana
further, that we request saiil committee
to sn arrange future Institute) beld in the
county as to give each section iu j'ist
share of tbe meetings. M.

remarks on the causes of inflammation of
that organ, mentioned intoxication aa one
of them. Thereupon Napoleon remarked;
"Then I ought not to have It, as I never
was drunk but once in my li'ei and that
was tweuty-four years agt, at Nice. . . .
drank three bottles of Burgundy, and
was completely drank. O, how sick I

Tbe subject of thia sketch, whose death
occurred at 9 o'clock Saturday morning,
February 3d, at his home in Jenner town
ship, was boro in February, isia on tO0
Maurer homestead, about two miles from
Stoyestown. wbereCapUin Willia-n Mau
rer now rexides.
Jonas Maurer was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Maurer, deceased, and was one of
a family of twelve children, being the
fourth of that number to pass away. His
surviving brothers and sisters are : Will
ism Maurer, referred to above; Harry, of
Jennertown; Jeremiah, of Stoyestown;
Miry, wife of Geor; Frledtinefw' near
Jenners; Caroline, wife of William Berk
ey. of Stoyextown; Elizleth, wile of
Isaac Brrn, and Mrs. John Eininert. of
Wa'-erloo, Ia., aad Isabella, wife of Jacob
S. Miller, of near Friedens.
Mr. Maurer was married twice. His
first wife was Elizabeth Zimmerman,
daughter of Michael Zimmerman, and he
was married to her in 1SJ7. Five children
were born to this union, all of whom are
dead. William died while a prisoner in
Lib by prison ; Edward was killed by
lightning, and Harry and two daughters
died in infancy, passing awsy almost at
the same time, and being buried in the
aame eotSa .
Mr. Maurer's first wife died about IS73,
and a few years later he was married to
Mary A. Cover Bowman, widow of Noah
Bowman, and daughter cf Emanuel Co
ver. One son Mr. Mubael Maurer of
Johnstown, was born to this union. Tbe
deceased is survived by his second wife,
a son, and the following step children:
Mrs. Frank Burreil, of Johntown ; Mrs.
Frank Miller, of near Stoyeatown, and
Mrs. La van D. Bowman, of Jeuner town
ship. Jonas Maurer was a fanner all his life,
and was well known throughout the coun
ty. A few days before his death be fell at
bis harn and fractured several ribs. Pneu
monia developed later and caused his
death. Qnly a day or so before be passed
away he was able to sit np in a chair in
bis room.
The deceased was a mem ber of the Hor
ner Lutheran Church for many years,
and since 1$ bad been a member of the
Board of Trustees. His remains were

N. Fleck, of Stoyeatown, conducting the
obsequies.

The man who wanted to walk across
Niagara Falls on a rope was wisely re
strained by the authorities. Probably
be is thankful that such was tbe case.
Death comes soon enough. Take the in
roads of d isease for example. Common
ail menu like constipation, dyspepsia,
biliousness, malaria and nervousness,
do much to shorten life. There is a med
icine that will cure these, if uken faith
fully, and that is listener's Stomach
Bitters. Set the stomach right, and good
health is sure to follow. This peerless
remedy has a record of over fifty years of
cures to back it up. When in need of a
medicine of this kind, get the old reliable
Hostetler's Stomach Bitters, with a Pri
vate Revenue Stamp over the neck of
the bottle-
Colonel Bamael Eider.
Editor Herald: Ia your editorial no
tice of the death of CoL Samuel Elder you
are correct in ihe main, but you omit the
mention of one of his places of residence
iu this county, the main one indeed, Pe
tersburg, Addison township. Colonel El
der succeeded his father-in-law, Mr. John
Bell, as landlord of the principal hotel in
this place, tbe Wentling. He came here
in the early forties, and kepi the hotel
while the travel aud bustle on the Old
Pike were at their best. Tbe im
mense wagon-yard made room enough
for any qtbtoer of teams, and hundred
of horses would be seen tethered to the
feed troughs, munching their oaU and
hay. while the harness was banging on
tbe "gear-poles" stuck through thespokes
of the wagon-wheels. A large blacksmith-shop
was attached to the hotel, and
during tbe long winter nighU the merry
music of tbe anvils was heard, and the
rat-tat of the hammers as the workmen
"drove" the shoes on the Immense feet of
the wagon-horses, was a sound familiar to
the ears of the denizens of the ancient
t jwn.
Colonel Elder did not live long In Union
town, and went from there to Ligonier,
where he lived longer than at any other
place.
Colonel Elder's oldest son, William,
was killed at tbe disastrous battle of
Fredericksburg. He belonged to some
Pennsylvania regiment, tbe number of
which tbe writer can uot ret-all at this
moment. Colonel Elder was a fine-looking
man, a good dresser, of a healthy,
florid complexion. He was careful of bis
health, which posxibly conduced to his
great longevity. It seems only last week
that Colonel Elder, In a reminiscent mood,
stood on tbe speakers' platform duri:
the celebration of the Ceutennial Year of
Somerset county, giving to the ymiLger
generation Interesting facU of early his
tory ; and It seems only yesterday that he
wss in Petersburg with Mrs. Elder and
Mrs. Patrick, bis daughter, look ing at tbe
old familiar places, and noting tbe chang
es time bad wrought. The longest life is
but a span, and bis end came only loo
soon to bis many faiends. ailhotigb he bad
nearly roundel out bis ceutury a length
of years vouchsafed to tbe very few.
