THE first bill passed finally by the late
legislature of this state, received the ap
proval of Gov. Beaver on the 12th day of
February, 1889; the pamphlet laws were
not distributed to the Judges, the Justices
of the Peace and to those attorneys and
othera who had subscribed for them till
the latter part of August.
gome of the acta passed and signed at
the beginning of the session repealed all
acta and parts of acts inconsistent with
them; ao it will be seen that for six months
after these laws were passed the general
public could not possibly know anything
of them, and were still acting under laws
that had been repealed or changed. This
tu the case this year, and the same thing
will happen every second year, unless
some remedy be found for it. If people
are to be expected to conform to laws they
matt know what these laws are, but as the
system of law making now stands, this is
not always possible. Either the provis
ions of all new and important laws ought
to be published at once in one or more pa
pen in each county in the state, or else no
law passed by a legislature should go into
effect until a certain date, fixed far enough
ahead to allow of their printing and distri
bution.
Rain and Storm at Gettys
burg.
GrrrrißCio, Pa., Sept. 11.—The com
plete success of to-day was drowned in a
heavy rain, which set in from the east
about 1 o'clock. An hour later bad been
fixed for the dedication of monuments.
The ceremonies were gone through, but
the programs were curtailed very consid
erably.
This morning saw at least 40,000 strung
art in Gettysburg. Where they were
lodged or fed seems a mystery. Many be
lated arrivals were noticed occupying door
steps and chairs on the sidewalks. Provis
ions grew alarmingly scarce until the
morning trains brought in a fresh supply.
▲ high wind prevailed all forenoon,driving
the limestone dust into eyes, ears and
■loath, and generally tending to make life
scarce worth living. The dedicatory ser
vices began early and lasted through wind
rain, until long in the evening. Many
organisations, being deterred by the storm
from going on the field, held their ser
vices in the town.
Jcdob Phshivo, of Schuylkill county,
ousted a school board of that county, lust
weak, whose operations somewhat resem
bled those of the Tweed ring. There were
rii of them, and for months they failed to
organise because they could not agree upon
a division of the spoils. Then three of
them quit, and the other three declaring
the places ot the absent vacant, elected
a fellow of their own way of thinking,
which made four, a majority of the board.
tTpon this being done they organized by
electing a clerk at f3OO a y«*ar (who was to
divide), and teachers at 975 a month (who
were alao to divide) over schools contain
ing fifteen to twenty-five scholars, and
were to make a further division of SSO upon
pretence of buying a blackboard. Af
ter this was done, and the distribution of
the boodle provided for, they fill
ed the board by adding two more to their
■amber. But Judge Pershing spoiled the
fan. Be has turned them out neck arid
beels, and there is a possibility of their be-
ing supplied with accomodations during
the winter in the county jail. This WOK
certainly a node! school, and the publicity
with which they proposed the corrupt
deal* doe* not speak well for the moral
■eaaibilitiea of the people of that part of
B:haylkill county.

J. It COCLTKR, Stated Clerk.
TMKIK is no law on the books authoriz
ing the Commissioners of a county to build
1 market house at the county seat, but we
think there should be one passed. A
market house on the east cud of the Ilia
mond with a good cellar, in which to store
lccd* of fruit and vegetables, for which
the owners did not flud a market, would
be a great convenience to fanner* living a
distance oat of town. There is room
enough on the Diamond for both a market
bouse and the Soldiers' Monument, and
fceth should be count/affairs.
The Fair.
If you're waking call me early" was the
plaint in this county, last Tuesday night,
for the morrow was first day of the Ilutler
Fair, and all coming that day wanted to
make an early start.
And they did make an early start. By
ten o'clock our streets wcro crowded with
rig*, and the morning trains brought
crowds of people. The Shenango train
consisted of eight ears all crowded, and
the trains on the P. /c W. and West Penn
were similar in size and conditiou.
What the number on the grounds was
that afternoon pould not lie ascertained,
but the receipts showed that it was larger
than than of the same day of last year's
exhibition, though the enlargment of the
grounds did not make the increase distin
guishable
There was elbow room for everybody
there that day and everything passed
off without accident. The grand
cavalcade of horses at 4 o'clock
that afternoon was one of the prettiest
sights for horsemen ever seen in the coun
rerr'. —srTme magnificent animals were in
line—large, powerful, well formed fellows,
that are giving our county a reputation
! for good horses second to none. Our horses
are improving from year to year. There
were good exhibits of all the various strains
of cattle, there were the Short-horns or
Durhams, the Holsteins, the Devons and
the Alderneys. Xone of the owners hap
pened to be at the stalls when we called
around, but we recognized Wittee's herd of
handsome Holsteins, and the big fat steer
said to weigh 2200, but probably weighing
1800 or 1900, attracted considerable atten
tion.
There was a good exhibit of pigs, and
' more intereSTTnis TateTy Been taken Tn trie
breeding of these animals than heretofore.
Mr. J. I'ark Hays of Prospect has a good
■strain, as have also Mr. J. L. Seaton, of
Euclid and Mr. J. M Douthett of Browns
dale, as has been noted in the columns of
the CITIZEN in the past. Mr. Seaton of
Euclid was the only one of the three at
his stalls when we happened around and
his Chester Whites looked very pretty.
Mr. J. N. Maharg of Penn township had
some thorough-bred China-Polands on ex
hibition.
The exhibit of sheep was one of the lar- |
gest and best ever seen in the county, but
that of poultry was not as large as usual.
Fruit and vegetable hall has been re
modeled and is now one of the most at
tractive features of the fair. The centre
has been arranged in pyramidieal form,
crowned with tropical plants and surround
ed with a wire fence. On one side were
the displays of vegetables and grains
which was very creditable, and on the
other was that of fruits.
Floral liall ait usual was the favorite
place for the ladies. Flowers, paintings,
quilts, embroidery, and what not were
there in profusion. The novelty of the ex
hibit, this year, was a display of examina
tion papers, selected from every school in
the county, and arranged for public in
spection. It was a good idea—one that
encourages scholars.
Grieb <t Lamb displayed two of their
magnificent Debr pianos. Zuvcr's exhibit
of photographs and pictures was very
creditable; Troutman had a splendid dis
play of carpets and upholstery; Miller Bros,
of furniture; Rosenberg of cloths; Black
more «!• Grieb of shoes and slippers, and
Mrs. I'ape of small goods.
On the grounds Martincourt <t Co., bad
a tent up under which they hail a display
of everything that runt- on wheels aud run
ners in every style and every finish.
Shira, Shira <fc Hays displayed the Allen
Washer and Prodigy Churn, in both of
which they have lately made substantial
improvements. An engine with belt and
shaft attachment was keeping the agricul
tural machinery in motion, the novelties
on exhibit in which, were potato-diggers
and planters, designed for horse-power.
Two merry-go-rounds were doing an im
mense business—the general run of people
consider Fair day a holiday, and are out
mora for fun than business. The female
walking match is said to have been a dis
gusting spectacle and a disgrace to the
place.
All the catch-pennies seemed to be do
ing a go.>d business, also the Indian medi
cine man and the lemonade stands. The
restaurants did well, the ladies of the W.
C. T. U., sold out entirely, and had to
stock up that night.
BASTIAS'S TAXIDKRMY.
The best thing at. the Fair however, was
Garvcy Haitian's display of stuffed animals
and birds. He is a natural artist in taxi
dermy, and some years ago began making
a collection which hus now assumed such
interest and proportions that he can well
be proud of it.
He has it arranged in the centre of a
tent, on u mound in which is a hunter's
cave aud its occupants, and some of the
specimeus are so life-like as to, at first
glance, be deceptive.
THIBSIiAY
Was the greatest day that Duller has ever
seen. At least fifteen thousand persons
were on the grounds, aud even with their
additional ground the managers were put
to their best to accommodate all the vehi
cles that entered and feared they would
have to close the. gates. The sun was hot
aud towards evening the dust became al
most unbearable.

Editor Citizkn: —This has been a de
lightful day In North Washington. The
weather has been specially favorable, and
the people favorably disposed to take the
loth of September as a holiday. So ac.
cording to previous arrangements the Sab
bath Schools of the town and neighbor

accompanied by the Farmiugton llrass
