The Lewistown Sentinel of last week
sav : Our readers will remember that dur
ing the bi-centennial Mrs. Lizzie Taylor,
wife of Gen. John P. Taylor, and daughter
of the late Judge Henry, was severely in
jured by a recklessly driven street car,
from which she died several weeks after
wards. Medical attendance, constant visit
by ber friends, and a hotel bill from which
the proprietor would make no abatement,
ran np an account of fully $3,000, which
Gen. Taylor sought to recover for the ben
efit of her heirs. The railway company
changed hands omo weeks ago, and the lit
igation was closed last week by a compro
mise for the above sum.
Should the low price paid for produce
continue for another year, the farmer who
are the larger class of people in the coun
try, will demand that all government salar
ies be reduced, from that of Senator, Con
gressman, Governor, Assemblymen, down
through all the departments, and demand
a reduction of taxes. There are men living
who remember when it was considered an
extravagant price to pay a Congressman
e,ght dollars a day. They would have con
sidered it downright robbery to psy a Gov
ernor $10,000 a year, and an Assemblyman
$10 a day, and a department clerk $1400 a
year. The salaries have been increased,
the taxes have been increased, but the pro
ducts of the ground per acre have not been
increased.

From the Snyder Cpunty Tribune s On
last Monday the Couuty Commissioners at
their orfice in Middleburg, awarded the con
tract for the erection of the new jail, in five
parts as follow :
Stone ard brick-work, and excavation, to
Anthony McCawley, of Liwistown, for $11,
700.0 .
lion work to the Champion Iron Works,
Canton, Ohio, at $2100 00.
Plumbing and heating apparatus, to J. B.
Reed, Sunbury, for $-3i32.50.

Middleburg, for $1974 23.
Lumber, carpenter work, plastering and
paintinc, Aaron Stetler, of Middlehnrg,
$2793.00.
Total cost, $21,600.75. We understand
that the were thirty-six bids in, and that
they run from twenty to forty thousand dol
lars. The lowest entire bid was in the neigh
borhood ol $24,4i)0. Messrs. Keefer of Sun
burry, Livingston of thi place and SharitT
Bolender were nearly alike with their figures;
all under $25,000. We have every reason
to believe that the contracts were awarded
in good faith, and that the Commissioners
were actuated by a desire to do the best
they could for the tax-payers of the coun
ty. The Scvr Tax Law.
An exchange gives the following con
densed summary of the new tax law : The
office of Collector of Taxes was created by
the last Legislature, and the act provides
that such an officer shall be elected in each
borough and township each year. He shall
be sworn in, give bond for double the
amount of taxes, with two sureties on bond,
and must issue duplicates before the first of
August. Road taxes may be worked out as
heretofore. He must provide a book, keep
alphabetical list of persons with amount of
taxes, and deliver book to hi successor.
When duplicate is issued be must give no
tice by ten band bills posted in public
places, and all persons paying their taxes
within sixty days shall be eutitlel to a re
duction of five per cent. Taxes not paid
within six months will have five per cent.,
added. The collector must be at bis resi
dence or some place designated in the no
tice on the afternoon of Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of the last two weeks of the
sixty days, from 2 to 6 o'clock, to receive

Huckleberries on Tree.
L x-post master Books is an amateur
sportsman, and in the game and fish season
when he can take a day, he does so by go
ing to stream or wood, nd thereby re-juve-natcs
himself for the labors of every day
life. Ho was born iu Fayette towmhip, the
banner Republican. district ot Juniata, and
in speaking to some of bis friends not long
since, of a visit and ramble over his native
heather in Fayette, he toli them that in a
swampy place along the foot hills of Shade
mountain he had found a cluster of hncklo
beny trees bearing huckleberries, that ho
c! imbed into the branches of one or the
trees and gathered the delicious berry from
the wide spreading branches, be drew the
ends of the branches in with a hook like
that nsed by cherry pickers. The ex-postmaster's
statement was considered quite a
remarkable one on the subjact of berries,
and some of his friends plainly aaid that they
would like to have a corroborating state
ment from a friend. Book found a man
who had seen wood that he was told had
been cut from a huckleberry tree but as
that was hearsay it could not be accepted.
It is not often that a Tankee from the
Mayflower State find hi way into
this Dutch and Scotch Irish com
munity but last week an agent from the

aud found bis way into Graybill's furniture
emporium among tbe flue chair, bedsteads
and bedding, and there enconntered Books.
How they drifted from the eubject of line
furniture to uch good things to eat as
huckleberries remain to be told, "ufBce
it to say," The Boston man corroborated
the ex-postmaster' huckleberry tree state
ment to the letter, with only this shade of
difference, that the hnckleberry that grows
on trees have no seeds, while Books insist
on it that they bare seeds. Buy your furni

Were "Port Roy.il," to reconsider his
communication, in last week's Sextikl,
after having been on tbe streets of Port

he surely could not claim for some of her
citizens, thv morality and christitn charac
ter, which he asserts they arc endowad
with, nor could he think so were ha to bear
and see the drunken rows which take place
at one of the hotels about once or twice a
week, but perhaps the communication
struck him, and be had to make himself
clear of his crimes by asserting that Port
Royal has three churches, but he did not
say the three congregations could be seated
comfortably in ei: her tho Presbyterian or
Lutheran and not bo croadud which is a
fact and the greater part of either the
Presbyterian or Lutheran congregations are

Not much over a mouth ago the oil Hold
in Washington county was considered good
bnt not extraordinary-, and for a time ex
citcment was kept at a moderate pressure,
but of late it bas greatly increased and now
Washington and surrounding country is be
lieved to be an uncommon oil field. The
cause for tbe increase in the boom was the
striking of oil at a well named the Smith,
that now yields about tour hun Irei o irn ls
per day, which is about three hundred more
:han tile Gonlou nelltlu njxt strouait in
the county. Oil sp.cuiators are in town
from all important oil districts in this state,
and other states. Tbe hotels have been
lilted with these men and the subject of oil
is freely discussed. Many riss" aro hir
ed by which the oil field is visited .by tbe
jpecnlaf or.- - -
Among tbe many visitors to the oil field
there have been several millionaires, i ne
man worth a million, who was bore is nam
ed McKeon, about fifteen years ago he
worked as an everyday laborer, he beca-ne
a stockholder in oil interests and through
that means became rich.
So groat was the excitement caused by
the striking of the four hundred birrel
Mnitn welt t".at in less than una week no
less than $160,000 was expended by oi'
men in leasing property in the neighboring
country, about the town. Ous farm of one
hundred and forty-eight acres was sold for
$50,000, another farm of six hundred acres
was leased for $'W,lK)0.
There is talk of building another hotel in
town for the accomodation of men workin?
in the oil field.
In this county, the Color of the sand iu
which oil is found is white, iu some other
places it is discovered in red and brown
sand. In some places it is course, in other
places fine. Oil discovered in t'.e coarse
sand buids out better than when lound in
fine sand.
Lumber wagons may be seen passing
through the town in great numbers on the
way to and from the vicinity of the Smith
well, where in Ibe spring a great many new
wells will be started.
It is reported that hundreds of people in
tend coming to Ibis place to live next
spring and many new houses will be buiit.
The demand at the present time cannot
be supplied House rent and town prop
erty, and farm land, is advancing in
prieu.
An oil man here faid. thit he bad n.-.de

ing and getting no oil. Much money will be
made here but when dry ho'es sm the result
it results iu heavy losses.

Women In the Temperance
Cause.
The Church has always commeu ded that
characteristic in woman which ma le her the
last at the Cross and tbe first st the grave,"
and may it not be the same spirit which has
brought her to tbe front in this generation J
In all tbe Christian centuries an exceptional
woman bas shown like a star through tbe
atmosphere, but now we see an organization
of perhaps a million of women, Ihe wives,
mothers, and daughters of the Church, who
after waiting in tears and agony for their nat
nral protector, man, to save their sons and
brothers from the horrible curse of intern
pe ranee, and waited in vain, now feci that
it is time to take a part, at least, of tbe
work of saviug, into Uieir own hands.
Your Washington correspondent lately
wrote of members of Congress "Many good
men fear their constituents." Now women
have no constituents to fear, and are ready
to "take the bull by tbe horns." Ten thou
sand saints are praying day and night for
deliverance through existing parties. And
will any friend of temperance put limita
tions to the pravers and efforts of this con
secrated host, saying "So far may you go
and no farther. If you attempt to cross tbe
Red Sea, you will all be swallowed up ?" No,
no ; let them cross. Perhaps it will be the
liquor men "following hard alter them" who
will be swallowed up, like Pharoah's boat,
while the brave women -stand, like Miriam,
on the shore, and sing their song of deliv
erance. Woman began this crusade outside of, and
with no thought of, politics ; but she will
carry it anywhere to wi. And if it take
her into politics, let us believe tkat Chris
tian faith and courage will guide her even
there.
The conservatism which object to wo
man suffrage is in itself loyal to woman's
highest good ; it intrndi safety, but atill it
may stand in the way of victory by its tim
id policy. How long is it since good men
feared a domestic chaos if girls were allow
ed higher education, and then co-education?
But is society tbe worse for these Has not
every advance been upward instead of
downward f In all onward movements there
will be wrong-headed and discordant ele
ments which injure the cause to which they
are attached, and ungenerous opponents
seize upon such facts to ridicule what thev
may not be able to refute.
Women, like men, vary in mental and
moral constitution. To those women who
teel the weight of eternal responsibilities,
the inanities of society are an abhorrence ;
and however mnch there may be of sweet
ness and majesty in the nature of those who
tlii.de beyond their fellow-women, they aro
feared or couteiu'ied as ''stroag-mi.ided "
Tbe tew "noisy and clamoring" fanatics of
tempi ranee and woman sulfiage are but the
drift-wood upon the flood tide ot public
sentiment, while the strong, dnep, and im
perceptible under-current is iu the same di
rection. Soin i -A lio h ive been on the mount
of vision prophesy that woman is to hav
the ballot, whether for weal or woe is to be
seen in the result ; bnt let us hope it will be
an educator, lifting her above the present
level cf bur ambition, which is too often
merely for social position.
No radical cbango in tho affii r of the
world but had it beginning under suspic
ion and nnpopul.u-ity, and may there not
be a morbid and unwarranted apprehension
in the minds of protecting, chivalrous men
in regard to the effect voting may have up
on their wives and daughters I Can they
not protect them at tbe polls as well as at
the theatre, or the borso show, or at the
race-cours", w here ladies sometimes bet as
men, though only iu a guarded way I
Prejudice otten makes "a distinction
without a difference." Do gentlemen thmk
Mrs. Gladstone unwomanly for appearing on
the platform all through a political cam
paign, to look after the British Premier 1
Who would think Mrs. Hoge of Chicago
compromising her majestic womanhood in
casting a ballot tor Temperance or any oth
er good cause, any more than in presiding
over the Mission Hoard of the Northwest t
And would committees ot ladies on elec
tion days be contaminated by such action
as that of their sisters at a recnt election
in a town in Dakota, which is thus report
ed :
The ladies of Watertown, Codington
county, D.ikots, took a very practical inter.
est in tbe polls on November 3. They d'd
not insist on (heir right to vote; Lilt in their
high born "rignt- t pirate, gave vciy gen
eral satisfaction. They provided tibles at
the polls with eatables and hot coffee,
which they distributed with cue hand, while
they gave out tickets with the other.
Was there anything unfeminine in this f
On the contrary, it was a course which re
flected the highest honor on the brave a:id
noble woman who took part in it. Tho con
sequence was what might bj expected. As
the paper which reports the above says.
"There were no drnnken men about, and no
political braw ls." It" women were to t ike
the same stand elsew here, would i! not pur
ify the '-alums of polities," and elevate wo
minhood itself in the consciousness of he
roic effort for our country I
