Speaking of assistance to voters, at election, about which much was said and written during the last campaign, as is generally the caso about election time, President Judgfe, David Cameron of Tioga County, in addressing the grand jury and constables, after quoting the law on this sub ject said. "It is your duty to be present when elections are held, not with closed eyes, but to see that the election laws are enforced and to preserve the peace. It is your duty to note well the fact of the men requiring assistance who do not need it. If you find men whom you know to be phy sically qualified to mark ballots asking for assistance it is your duty to report the matter to the court." How often is it the case that we see even the parties appointed by the courts as watchers, and even also, sometimes, constables, who are only interested in seeing io w many votes they can poll for the particular party organization with which they chance to be politically associated, or the can didate in whom they are partic ulary interested at the time, re gardless as to the legality of the vote. Generally speaking, what we term watchers only watch that no illegal votes are cast by the opposite party and shut their eyes when offered' by those of their own political faith. Lightning Kills Few.

U.la ailahout oil all al ind CHFi jm your Ar I The Most Marrying Couple, A new form of check Bwindle has been worked m Nsw York with great success by a young man and a young woman during the last two months at least, and they are still at large. Their stock of capital appears to have been a marriage license and a check book in blank. With' this they began business and so far as known are still at it. Their plan was to go, apparently in a great hurry to get married, to a minister, get the knot tied, hand tbo clergyman acheck for twenty dollars, get ten dollars in change and depart. In this way they have been married at least thirty times since October 23 last, thirty dif ferent ministers have thirty worthless checks for $20 each, and the much married pair have gathered in at least $3oo in good money. The man is an engaging look ing chap, glib of tongue, and the woman pretty and apparently so shy and modest that each of the thrifty ministers who paid ten dollars for the privilege of mar rying the couple thought her as wise and good as she is fair. Ah, well, for them the fond hope rests, safely tucked beneath their vests, that with iron key the jailor may lock them up at an early day. LAUREL RID0E. We are having plenty of rain now.
