Brick pavement doubtless has some agonoy in the gratify ing change. Usually the Butlerites have to swim to oross a street at this season of year. We believe that it was of their town that is told the story of the ►tranger who was crossing a street and happened to see a man's head just protruding through the soft mud. "What are yon doing down there?" said he. "Oh, this is no indication of the depth to which I have fallen," replied the man.

They are so pat and pertinent that we give them entire, with the remark that followed out they will save the postoffioe people a great deal of vexation, annoyance and posnibly, loes: "Tbe season is approaching when the mails will be filled with holiday presents, and a great many are unnecessarily lost, delayed or damaged each year because of the indifferent manner in which they are prepared for mailing. Newspaper or other thin paper should not be used for wrapping and packages as ordinarily wrapped where purchased are not sufficiently secure for forwarding in tbe mails. Use strong paper, make a solid package that will not erueh easily; lie well with good twine; address legibly and correctly with ink on the lower right-hand corner and very few packages will fail to reach their destination in good condition. It is always advisable to place the name and address of tbe sender on the upper left hand corner of all packages, etc, sent in the mails, so they may be returned in case tbe address cannot be found. Pos tal statistics show that more delays result from incorrect addresses than from errors in distribution by postal employes. In case of loss or delay report the same to your postmaster with all tbe information that can be given. —The New "Wilmington College has another plagiarism affair on hand*. A dispatch from that town said a sensation wan created to-day in Westminister Col lege by the charge of plagiarism against A L. Russell, of Bnlger, Pa, contest debater for the Philo Society. This debate was given last Jnne in the annual contest of the Adelphia and Philo Society. The question was, "Should the Public Observance of the Sabbath Be Enforced by Civil LawT" The affirmative was sustained by J. Yj McKinm-y. of West Sunburv. Pa; the neg ative by Russell. The decision of the judges gave Russell the debate by a major ity rote. Russell's conduct before and af ter the contest aroused the suspicions of his opponent. After a careful investiga tion of the matter by MoKinney and his friends it was discovered that the same question had been debated at the Washing ton and Jefferson College a lew years ago McKinncy sent to J. Logan Marquis, of Chicago, a son of Ucv. Dr. Marquis, D. D.. who sustained the negative of the same question at Washington, Pa., and got a c«>py of bis debate. Alter comparing bis debate with Russell's they found the train of thought in both to be identical. It was fonnd, also, that Rnssell had used the sen tences in Marquis' debate with impunity and ha 1 given no credit. Tho matter wis today submitted and a meeting called. The Adelphia has demanded that the four points given to the Philo Sooiety by the decision of the judges be surrendered. No decision has yet been given. Rnssell claims in de fence that he had permission to use the Marquis debate. —Why shond not Sockl«88 Biinp eonnow wear»<>cks when be can get tbem at 5 cents a pair at the People's Store, No. 393 8.

K. to build a proper bridge on Lookout Ave. —one 32 feet wide, with 28 foot roadway and 4 foot sidewalk. The Sewer and Water Committees were authorized to contract with the South Side Water Co. for water for the four flushtanks on that side, they having agreed to furnish it at their n*nal rates, same to go through meters. C. Duffy and. the Vogeley heirs hive selected Walter Bartley as their arbitrator on the 24 inch sewer matter; the Council selected Geo.

Some two thousand feet of this sewer passes through the properties of these parties, and they asked 30 cts a foot for it, which the Committee considered too much. Nothing has been done with the Sullivan run dam, and as it is a necessity the Council may raise the cellar floors of the McCleary properties, and cement them.
