More Scamps in Clay.
Some young men up in Centre and Clay
townships have lately been swindling their
neighbors by canva*sii.g for the sale of
aaanteririt money, ire'.lins their price in ad
vance, and then refusing or neglecting to
deliver the c tunteneits. It is said thai they
got |is and IV) front each of several parties,
none of <{hom care to talk much about il.
One man who doubted tne honesty (?) of the
gang was ndvised by them to write t<> a cer
tain party In Oil City. He did so, and after
ward* met a at'auger at Petrolia, who to k
his money and haa<!ed him a larjje envelope
just ai the train moved off. Then the vic
tim opened his env -lope, and found nothing
bat »id papers iu it, but he ain't making
any fuss about it— he only feel* bad.
An old farmer in MudJycreek twj> is paid
to have come to Butler lately and given his
not* to the bank for s2'io, with which money
he bought, a* he supposed, a thousand dol
lars in counterfeit aunty, done up in a pack
age, but he didn't get any "green-goods" to
take home with him, und the greenest thing
be took home thai night was his owa sweet
self.

The First Temperance Meeting.
A f*<r audience assembled in tbe
Opera H >uso last Tuesday evening
to hear Mr Miller oa the License
question aDd take actioa in reference
lo tbe applications io sell liquor ID
this county.
Re* called the meeting to
order and nominated Judge Story for
Cbairuivi ar.«l Rev McKee for Sec'y,
both of wbotu were elected, aud Rev.
Nesbit aiid Messrs Wick arid Mc-
Bride were appointed a committee to
drait resolutions.
S H Miller K-tj., of Mercer, was
then •liireiiucfd. a;;d he made tLie
best speech we have ever heard him
make, end one that made hitn more
ii iei:ds thau has any other speech he
ever made here, lie started oif by
saying that he was not a Prohibition
ist but had been opposing the grant
ing of licenses in Mercer county for
fi'teen years, and had at last been
successful, this year, in shutting out
all but tbe Sharon and Stoueboro ap
plicants. Wa make a note of tbe
Sharon cases in our Neighborhood
Notes. Fie theu compared the new
license law with the old one aud its
supplements, and is of opinion tbat
tbe new law entirely separates the
liquor question from the tavern or
hotel question, a'id gave as a reason
for tbe Phiiadelphia and Allegheny
county delegations ia tbe Legislature
supporting tbe Brooks bill, that the
people who wanted to sell liquor
there didu't want to be bothered with
keeping a hotel or boarding house
He is also of opinion that tbe new
law annuls the old, aud requires tbe
Courts to ssiye due consideration to
rem on a trances, as does also the decis
ion of the Supreme Court in Reed's
Appeal.
After Mr. Miller concluded tbe fol
lowing resolutions were read aud
adopted:

Reed Appeal, tent-;;ulics the riatit ot nil elti

in the License Court; at.il f pecitieji that the
necessity a licensed drinking bar shall be

character of those petitioning for or against

Court is to hear petitions in addition to that
of the applicant in favor or", anil re<non«trari
ces against the application lor .such license,
and ia all casts to refuse the same whenever,
iu the opinion of the Court, having due re
gard to tlie number and character of the pe
titioners tor and against, sucti application,
such license is not necessary tor tbe accoin
n.o ation of the public aud the entertainment
ot strangers ond travelers. In this we see
tbat the petitions aud remonstrances are
for sole purpose nf determining, without
regard to the character of the applicant,
whether such license is, or is not, a matter of
public uece*siiy."
ASI) WHBKKAS, the evident intent, both
of me Jaw and th« Supreme Court decision,
is, first, to make the licsnsing of a drinking
bar no longer a mere incident of a house of
entertainment, but something to he determin

secondly, to do away with all licencing of

Bogus Baking Powder Tests.
Rather ingenious but not lefs fraud
ulent are the pretended tests of bak
ing powders being made in many of
our kitchen* by agents who are try
ing to further the sale of a Chicago
article. These so-called teats consist
in mixing separately, with water, a
sample of the bakiug powder found
in the honse and of that carried by
the agent. From that found in the
house if a pure article, the bubbles of
gas will rise and burst on top liks
those from a glass of champagne.
The Chicago baking powder which
they carry, when mixed with water,
will show au extra froth upon the
top of the mixture which is claimed
as evidence of supnriority. 0.1 the
contrary, however, it is not only the
exhibition of a trick, but is absolute
proof that the baking powder which
so acts is adulterated. The chemistß
have ascertained that the adulterant
used is a chemical added for the ex
press purpose of producing this action
and deceiving housekeepers as to the
true value of the baking powder.
This is not only a dishonest trick,but
a dirty one, for the cnemical is the
product of the filthy refuse of the
slaughter house, and if this baking
powder in used in the preparation of
iood passes into the biscuit or cake
without change. Of course, auy
statements made in ro eronce to other
baking powders, by parties caught in
practising mi -h tricks as tb*«i for the
' purpose of deceiving the public, will
bo entitled to no credit.
It i-» probably wise-it in t.hn interest
of our families,and to prevent our food
Irom being coatamiiiuted bv tramox
of this kind, to turn till p rsous woo
wish or attempt to tamper with it iin
fcerirnoniourtlv from the door, and to
n»e those article?! only wh ch experi
ence has proved satisfactory, or the
oflicial tests havo establinhed as pure
aud wholesome.
—The Pennsylvania "hemlock
belt" embraces a tract probably about
fifty miles square, takiug in a part of
Potter, McKean, Cameron, Forest
and Eik counties. Timber exports
claim that this Belt contains nearly
one-half the timber now standing in
the United States east of tho Rocky
Mountains, and to this fact is due the
establishing of several new and largo
tanneries in the vicinity of Oleau.
Lumbermen estimate 15,000 feet of

To THE EDITOR OF TUE HERALD:—
Pan OJ the liberty I take in ad
dressing you for counsel But being
in need of such at present and kuow
ing yon to be imilectual and Editor
of a widely circulated atid influential
paper I thought you could give me
th« desired information
I aui a poet None of the spring
poets' you read of. remember, for my
productioas has b<ea inspected print
ed aud complimented by many Edi
tors
The question 1 have to ask you is
how can 1 ruaiie a mark in life with
civ poetical talent and Jouruelistic
ability I have written for several
papers in this county But they have
to Huail a circulation to pay a satis
factory fee. My aspiration has al
ways been to get a position from
some Editor writing for a paper or
furnishing it with poetry
I have oyer ritty pieces fit for pub
lication It seenn a sin that they
should sink in oblivion while others
not half so good are taking space in
J ouruels.
On what terms do you publish
poetry or have you your regular cor
respondents It not and you desire it
I will send you a poem for publica
tion providing you recompense me
for it
Why I persist is this motive I am
an orphan and only twenty years of
aire and would like to finish my edu
cation which 1 caunot do unless J
make a little money in this way I
think when you see one of my pro
ductions you will solicit my aid or
use your influence to procure
a position for me. What
bad I better do or can you
tell me how I can realize any profit
from my work
I trust you will excuse me from
writing such a lengthy letter But
brief and to the point would be im
possible in this letter as you see
Hopiog to hear from you by return i
of mail I am

Your Generous Trade
Shows You Like It.
The stores aren't alike!
stores of a kind aren't alike!
every clothing store isn't a
store that sells nothing but
reliable clothing!
Heliable clothing/ why
that's the only kind you want
to buy! Nobody would ac
knowledge selling any other!
But there's a bigger profit in
what isn't.
There's a way to make ev
erybody sure it's reliable ! It's
no hardship to do it if"it is! Tell
the quality plainly ! Give a
guarantee with it. Take it
b.ick if the buyer gets home
an«i isdii-satisfied with it! That's
our way of saying to you —
I hit- is reliable !
It's better than a ream of
newspaper words to make the
customer secure I Undersell us
in prices who can ! We'll be
under there, and head of our
business on every other point.
Nearly 1,000 ttyles of goods
for selection.
