Some time ago the question of the
constitutionality of the act restrict
ing the issuance of license to hawk
or peddle to disabled soldiers only,
was brought before the court in
Reaver County by Attorney Roger
Cope. The matter was held under
advisement by .ludgc Wickam who
has now rendered an opinion that
the act is uncoiisl it ut ional and that
a license should be granted to any
and all persons possessing all other
requirements without regard to any
services rendered as a soldier.
'No girl under 'JO,' says a wise wo
man, "has any business to think of
marriage.' Rless you, no. We
know that. At that age no girl
thinks of mariiago as a business.'
She tumbles head over heels in love
and marries the dear fellow just
because she would cry her eyes out
without him. It is when she is no
longer what you would just exactly
call a 'girl,' when she is rising 3s
and has cut her last new teeth, full
set, that she begins to make a 'bus
iness' of it.

Joseph C. McAlarney, Ksq., on be
half of Charley Hower, of Selins

in the suit against the editor of the

has been maliciously libeled and
damaged as an attorney, to the ex
tent of 5,11(10 by tho publication of

David Harner, of Paxtonville, one
of the track hands on Mr. Attick's
section, came within an ace of being
killed on Sat in da y. The hands were
fixing up ( he f rack near the lumber
loading point at the Paxtonville de
pot w hen a log w as rolled on a car
which struck the end of the skid, (a
long, heavy piece timber,) and sent
it whirling through the air. The
men called "look out." and Mr. Har
ner raised up from his stooping
position just in time to see the piece
of limber come d-iwii v m V-i . ,i 'm 'l

Rrolher J. R. St oil, formerly edi
tor of a Republican paper in this
county, is now editor and proprie
tor of the South Rend, Indiana,
Time. It is a rattling good Demo
cratic paper, but on the principle
that a leopard cannot change his
spots, he occasionally shoots of, un
consciously, such Republican doc
trin as this :
The promise of an early fall should
encourai:e business men in South
Rend. The prospect of increased
trade is made apparent by the fact
that very few, il any, laboring men
are idle. Workinginen are the life
of trade. Jf thcy are at work and
receiving fair wages, business is
good. The reverse is always the
case when they are idle.
A remarkable couple live in West
Perry township this county, says the
Ciinri' ,: Daniel Stuck, aged 00 years
August , and his wife, aged ;io
years, March 22. They have lived
together in the marriage relation
about (IS , ears. The old gent Ionian
is sfill quite active and industrious.
The old l.uly is also in excellent
health. They never had any chil
dren, but adopted a Mi.ss Stimely
who married Joseph Arbogasf, who
occupies and owns the premises
where these old people started their
matrimonial life, and where they are
kindly treated by Mr. Arbogasf and
his family. Charles M. Arbogasf,
son of Jos. Arbogasf and tho active
Secretary of the Independent school
district, also resides on the premises
and is extensively engaged in farm
ing. Three generations residing on
the same premises with so venerable
a couple at tho head is a rare occur
rence. Skepticism. R.v reason of the state
of chronic, incredulity in which many
men pass their lives they miss half
tho good of this world. They seem
to think that doubt and unbelief are
proofs of wisdom, and throiiL'h fear
of being deceived reject much that is
true and good. To such minds the
statement that Dr. Pierce's (iuldeii
Medical Discovery is a real and pro
ven euro for all disease caused by
torpid liver, and blood or scrofulous
humors carries with it its own con
demnation. They do not believe it,
apparently, because we say so ( and

Peter Felmy Killed !
Peter Felmy, of Paxtonville, aged
8ft years was brought homo dead
from Snow Shoe on Saturday eve
ning another victim of a tram-road
accident simular to the one in which
Bruce Hwengel lost his life.
Mr. Felmy had secured employ
ment on the Li wisburg Lumber
Company's job, near Snow Shoe, a
little more than a week ago. On
the dav of his death, Friday evening,
7th, lie was ordered by Superinten
dent Rock to take the team down
the tram road and another man and
Mr, Bock's son were ordered to take
two loaded trucks down. One of
the men not being ready to go,
Felmy, who was experienced in the
business, jumped on the front truck
and started down the road. When
near he saw mill the rear man lost
control of his truck and it came
down the grade at a tremendous
velocity. He called to Filmy to
jump oft' but he either didn't hear
or heed the warning and the two
colided, throw ing Mr. Felmy oil' and
a heavy piece of limber falling on
him broke his back, killing him in
stantly. The other man jumped
and escaped with slight injuries.
The deceased was a r honest.
hard-working man, and the father
of three children. Superintendent
Rock accouipaiied the remains to
tho gi ief-strieken family, and he
ceemed a 1 " rted as though
It v.CiO . . Jle personally
bore all the funeral expenses, pro
vided the remains with a new suit,
a splendid coffin, and made Mrs.
Felmy a present of a sju gold piece,
und r' nnised to present the matter
before the company and have them
contribute something. He seemed
much of a gentleman ami his actions
created much favorable comment.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
and the remains were interred in
the old Hassinger grave yard.
Luzerne county has been boasting
of a recent case of marriage w herein

or perhaps, again, the sporting at

the editorial stiitl' to look with feel

It was certainly hard to see disap

hardly possible that a person could

to lend anything but a helping hand
to foster the few industries already
stal ted.
The all -abs) irbing topic, polities,
with the exception of talking on
street cornels, is very quiet here.
Of course the latest county conven

all. At present (here is not even a

Congressional Conferees of the sev

The death of i!. 1!. Swengel was a
surprise to us. Death at any time
seems hard, but coining to one who
is in the prime of manhood it seems
much more so. The early part of

men receive little credit. And there
is little inducement to work at a lire
