The best-trained team of horses in Lancaster county belongs to Thomas Williamson,of near Marietta. Mr. Williamson hitches ihem to a harrow iu the morning aud the knowing equities, without a driver, play backward and forward acroa* the plowed Held, keep as straight as though guided by a man.

Our readers and especially our Boro readers will observe in the Council Proceedings, elsewhere, the resolu tion passed at their meeting of May 28th, relating to the amount of money to be expended on our streets annually, in each ward—slso. each- This we think unfair and unjust, in asmuch as the Ist ward has fully twice the distance of road and side walks to keep in repair as that of the 2d ward. The tax payers hare another very good reason why this resolution is absurd in the extreme. We have taken the pains togo over the duplicate for this year and we find the total levy of the same— License Moneys $228.00 Total $614.04 Of this amount the 2d ward pays $159.11 Ilence, our people will perceive at a glance that the 2nd, ward is barely selfsustair.ing. We have a debt of several hundred dollars—on which according to this resolution the 2nd ward will pay each year $9.11 whilo the 1, will pay $304.93. If the present Town Council call this a fair adjust ment it is high time the tax payers looked into the matter for future ref erence . Herbert Benjamin of near Wy alusing, Bradford county who is en gaged at work in the bark woods near Lopez, accidently cut himself, fearfully, on the right side of his face, on Friday morning last He was cutting down and owing to the surrounding at the butt ot the tree was obliged to stand closo by the side of it, henoe a short hold of the helve was necessary. In striking upwards the axe glanced and struck him as above said cutting his cheek through and through and breaking a tooth out on his lower jaw. The party who informed us said that he had Been many accidents in the bark woods, but none to equal this. Dr. of Lopez, was sent for, but refused to take the tramp through the woods to the place of the accident. Dr. Brockway of Bern ice wa9 then sent for, who sewed lip the wound. Our Dushoro contemporaries are still on the war path, and it would appear that the Gazette is best so far. The executive committee of the Sullivan County Agricultural Society is to blamo for it all. Had this society, who, as tho Gazette says, are hadling public moneys, awarded their printing to the lowest and best bidder, as docs all other public officers, everything would have gone off smoothly and the So ciety would have been several dol lars in pocket. We are aware that 111 ore were one or two members of said committee, who were opposed to awarding the wo k to one man unless at public letting, anil wc understand that they are thoroughly disgusted with the manner in which this society has been doing business, however, as the people have home assuranco that they will do better in the future, peace should reigu. Give it a rest boys. Threats ofsucing the town coun cil, by working men, who hare been engaged at work on our streets, are ijuiU' common. Thin is a pretty state of things. It would appear that the -d ward consumes all the cash and pays in, but a drop in the bucket. Tiie vid wnrd after paying for street work—slso.—lms a surplus of $9.1 1 to pay on old debts and law suits. The tax ers of thu Ist ward foots the bill, and who runs the machine, anyhow ? Jacob Meyers of Hemlock Grova, !'». aged 73years ?m. aud 4 days, died of heart trouble, on Thursday of last week. Deceased was oue of the old settlers iu that neighborhood and cleared a larui from tha dens* forest. Uu leaves a wife and thir teen children aud a hosUt of friauds to mourn his death. Funeral servi ces were held at tin Praukliu church on Suuday May V'J, aud was largely atteuded, ltev. Campbell officiating. It is uiwre than prolatMe that In township* where the present election bouw, uwiug to *|iae<), will uot per mit the election of election booths, said townships will build an addition tu, or erect m w buildings, iu whieli ease they would receive rental from the county fur the 114 ol the same on election days which would lie! them a year.

They will constitute the only means yet provided for the payment, in the international mail service, of return postage by the sender of a commun ication. They will probably be issued in the form of a folder, the two aides of which are alike. The sender writes on one side, folds the oard, leaving the inside blank for the answer. This will be a great aid to international corrcsdondence, especially in busi ness circles. The oost will be four cents. Dr. Rogers has the frame work of his block of new houßeß, corner Third and Pine Btreets, up and will push them to completion.-—Towanda Republican. Be Ware of Her. A lady wearing » benignant smile and Philadelphia clothes was in Pottsville the other day. She pre tends to represent a Philadelphia dry goods house and was getting up a list of subscribers—for the house. It cost but SI.OO to join this won derful charity organization which would sell goods at half price to these select and good looking ladies. It wasn't a-free-fowUl either. Only the elite, two and a half dozen in number, would be permitted to join this wonderful society for the diss, emination of cheap goods among the select masses. It is unknown the number who joined, but the ladies are still waiting to receive cirtifi catcs of stock. The lady with the benignant smile drew the dollar be fore she left. Once more we would say, buy of your home merchant and get value received. Several complaints were made last Sunday that intoxicating liquors were being sold, and a number Warned President Shipman that he did not see that the law was en forced, but the blame cannot be placed upon him. The bill approved by Governor Flower and now the law of the state, provides (hat the holder of a hotel license may sell to the guests of the hotel, strong or spirituous liquors, wines, also beer, to be drunk by the purchaser in the hotel, with his meals or in his rooms or apartments, but not in the bar room or other similar room of the hotel. All that is necessary in order to sell intoxioants to parties wishing to buy them, is to have them register as guests of the hotel, and it is perfectly lawful to sell them until they bcooiue intoxicated. President Shipman nor the police cannot be blamed for Sunday liquor selling in this villngc where we have such a law ou our statute books, which makes it practically impossible to prevent the sales.—Wuvurly Free. J'reus. Governor Flower was elected Gov. of New York State on the Democratic ticket last fall. After reading the above do you think him worthy of the honor ? Council Proceedings.

The little chil dren who sang "Marching Thro' Georgia," at the cemetery gate as the procession passed through, did very nicely. After decorating, the large gathering marched to the M. E. church where the Post rcoited their most fitting ceremonies. Rev. jJ. F. Glass of Muncy Valley was [ booked to deliver an address, but I owing to the storm failed to appear.
