O, the good times aro comin', no matter what they sa_; Yeu kin hear 'em .;uminin', hummin', fer a hunderd miles away. 1 hey're a sailin' through the summer, an' a tightin' through the freeze; A ridin' down the rivers an' a-blowin' in the breeze! Comin', A-hummin', Like a regiment a drummin'; Lane has got a turain', Buttermilk's a ohurnin', So keep your lamps a barnin, Till the good time comes! —"Drowned while Bathing" headlines are appearing in the papers. —And now its sl2 to Chicago and back —ten days. —Oar fanners had ten days of good har vesting weather and everything is in bnt the oats. —Every woman admires a man who can swim and looks with horror at a boy who wants to learn how. —The Bntler boys who started to wheel it from Erie te Chicago gave ont at Cleve land, stabled their bikes and went on by nil. —A Texas paper remarks that the bar gain man who sells yon goods ac two prices puts them to yon regardless of cost. —Keep your eye on this paper and see which merchant is conrteons enongh to *'k yon for yonr patronage throngh its ad vertising colamns. —Somebody has discovered that a piece ot banana will shine ap russet shoes, A piece of banana peel has often made the stars shine at midday. —Never sun feather beds or pillows. Air them thoroughly on a windy day in a cool place. Tho sun draws tho oil and gives the feathers a rancid smell. —E. E. Young, Esq. administrator of "W. L. Young, deo'd, will sell the personal property of the deceased at the residence of 8. P. Young in Summit twp. this, Fri day, afternoon. —"What struck ust" and "whero are we stt" are the questions now being discussed on our streets and in our offices; and the Mswers to "who struck Billy Patterson!'' could not be more varied. , —A person killing a robin in this State is liable to a fine of $2 to S2O, or imprison ment for 20 days, or both. In fact the law prohibits the killing of any or nearly all kindß of birds on the list of those that are habitants here. —Hot alum water is the best insect de stroyer known. Put alum in hot water and boil nntil dissolved; then apply the water with a brush to all cracks, closets, bedsteads and other places where insects may be fonnd. Ants, cockroaches, bedbugs and other creeping things are killed. —The season of the year is now at hand when the good housewife sprr ds stioky fly-paper over the different articles of fur niture in her household and when the geod man rises from a chair and finds the bay window of his unmentionables half-soled with the same, verily he waxeth wroth. —A ripe tomato will remove ink stains from the bands, or from paper or linen, says an exchange. There is no particular knaok about it. All that is to be done is to crueh the tomato in your hands and rub the ink spot with the juice, then wash in dear water, and ink and tomato juice will come away together. —An old summer drink, recommended by physicians for cooling the blood both of children and adults, is made by taking a tfaspoonful of cream of tarter and dis- solving it in a tumbler of water sweetening to taste. You will be surprised to find how pleasant it is, being hard to detect from lemonade. It can be made in a quan tity and keep it on ice. It is highly laxa* tive. —lt is no sign that a man is rich be* cause he pays his promptly, says an ex ohange. Not by any manner of meats. Tbero are poorer men and men of moder ate means who pay as they go, on the principle that it is not only honest, but that it is the safest. On tho other hand there are rich people who rarely pay until almost forced to do so. There are many each, and the pity is that their number so nearly approches legion. Not to pay a bill when you have the money, and espec ially when it is due, may not be styled a crime, but it is very far from being right. —The postal script will soon take the place of the postal note now in use. The poual note costs three cents, and carries any amount up to $5, while in a script a sheet calling for amounts from one cent to S3O has been prepared from which, on payment of one cent,the amount of money to be sent by mail to any part of the United States way be torn off the same as an express order. There will be no writ ing on it of any kind by the Postmaster, the fender endorsing the check draft. The government guarantees its safe transporta tion. —lt is a matter of cariosity to some peo ple how a bank can become obliged to close its doors' while it is financially sound as many are doing at present. It happens in this way: In the course of business a bank receives 1100,000 in deposits. To make the necessary profits to pay the in terest to depositors, this money must be lent out, for which the bank receives the note of the borrower and the interest on the same. Now, after say 980,000 had been so lent out, depositors get uneasy and be gin a "run" on the bank. It is impossible to collect the notes until they are doe, and when the bank's surplus cash is gone it must borrow or close. The bank may be sound and able to pay every dollar it owes, but if all the depositors call for their mon ey at once, the soundest bank must yield, unless the stockholders have enough loose cash to pay tho deposits.— Penntrylvania Farmer.

Health, Finance and Law. Our Town Council had an old fashion?! meeting Tuesday evening, i. c. one tha: began at the usual time and continued unti after midnight. The first business of import considered was the report of the Board "f Health which presented a ,-ot of Kujes and Regu lations, gorerning the santitary affairs ol the town, which cover forty-five page- ol foolscap, and also every conceivable detri ment or danger to the public health. All contagious diseases are to be •jnarantined public funeral- resulting from such ca-es are forbidden, school books are to be burn ed and permits obtained: there is a long list of nuisances designated: marriages, births and deaths are to be reported to the Board, Etc., Etc., with fine.- in nine sec tions ranging from t» and in others from $lO to SIOO. The Kules were adopted by the Council, ind as th6y put more power in the hand* of :he Board of Ilealth thau anybody ever Ireamcd of placing there, it would bo well "or everybody to read their new Kulcs ivhen they are printed. The Finance Committee reported tint t would be necessary to issue #12.000 ?a sonds to meet debts coming due for n c w ■ Liwers ar.il < i-iiprovciuents, and the Jouncil directed the Committee to niake ts statement and have the bunds prepared .he same to draw 4 per cent clear ol the ■tate tax. The next matter of interest was the offer i nade by an attorney of the town regaril i:g the lot of Jnlius Baker, against which lie town has liiod a municipal lien for sewerage, which is followed by a private udgment of $1,300, and this in turn by a municipal lien for paving. The attorney iffercd tr> pay all of the sewerage lien and ialf tho paving lien, and this, altera long liscus.-ion was refused by the Council. Several questions came up in the matter, .e. Is a municipal lien a lien upon the property unti paid ? c'an a Sheriffs' sale or my other judicial sale divest a municipal ien f It stands to reason that a niuuici >al lien should be a lien unti! paid, but .ve are informed t;. ti the Sewerage and l'av:Lig law.-, ilu n.»i ,-ay so, and that there is no bupreme Court decision on the sub ect. Some small matters wots discussed and lisposci! I, bills aggregating $1,200 were ijtproved, aud the Council adjourned for :wo weeks. Oii Notes.
