Hellnt- grove 7'imen. The postofllce department is to have a new postal' card. It is very much like a double card of the pres ent pattern. The back folds are split diagonally and open out like a four-pointed star. The four corners are folded and joined in the center, when the card is ready for mailing, with a piece of gummed paper. The card weighs less than half an ounce and will contain no more writing than the present card, the only ad vantage being greater privacy. The usual number of farmers and other individuals are daily being in duced to sign their names to con tracts which turn up in DO days to be promissory notes, This is a strange world, but it is stranger that the far mer allows himself to be gulled so readily. Almost every paper publish ed in the United States contains an account of Home successful bunco game. The best thing to do is to refuse to sign any and all papers presented by strangers. One morning before it was light I went up on Pigeon creek to shoot pigeons. I tried my horse to a swinging limb, and waited for it to become light enough for me to sen how to shoot. When it was light enough I shot at some pigeons near by, and when the smoke cleared away I noticed that my horse was gone. I looked all around for him but could see him nowhere, until hearing a groan I looked up and saw him hanging 111 the air. I had tied him to the top of a tree on which the pigeons were roosting, and when I fired the gun the pigeons flew, the tree straightened up and carried my horse with it. "Wooden-Headed." When a wood en pavement was desired outside St. Paul's cuthedral, Sidney Smith said; "If the cunovs will simply "putthier heads together, tho thing is done"!

Tho Granger pic-nio at Centre Hull lust week was an imeuse affair, The attendance astonished tho peo ple and confounded the railroud company. From ten to twelve thous and were in attendance on Wednes day and nearly that many on Thurs day. The exhibits were light com pared to the crowd. The unsettled weather kept many at home on Thursday. In tho evening about four o'clock the rain began to pour down and the peoplo began to pour out of tho grove like rats out of a burning barn. The ladies, fancy dresses soon looked like in sack-cloth and ashes and the sprightly bonnets and hats assumed the appearnce of whipped rooster's tails. Snyder county was quite well represented Tho Tioxelvillo Band occupied two tents and at intervals gave the throng exhibitions of some of Sny der county's best band music which was much appreciated and highly it mi complimented, ino general man ugrcment of tho pic-nic was only a partial success and public simpathy was jarred and scarred at every turn to further tho means and ac complish the ends of a 0110 man sys tem. Even newspapers wero sur pressed on tho grounds becuso they were not printed on VMcKm-color ed paper. Republican Rally. Tuesday was a big day for the Re publicans of Snyder county. Early in the morning political clubs ap peared which were known by some distinguishing feature. The Salem Harrison and Morton club appeared in white plugs and made a very fine show, but nothing striking occurred until the sound of band music, about ten o'clock, announced the advent of the Beaver township club, which really made a very imposing appear ance. First came a cavalcade of horsemen, followed by the Adams- burg band. Then came the Beaver town Harrison and Morton club on a wagon drawn by six horses, carry ing flags and banners with appro priate mottoes. Then followed a veritable Log Cabin on wheels. The cabin was decorated with coon skins and red, white and blue bunting. At its door sat "Old John Middles warth" of Beavcrtown with his fav orite rifle on his knee "the old deer- slayer," and an immense white deer hound by his side. Close by him sat Judge Middleswarth and Robert Middleswarth two old Republican veterans, and others. From the cabin floated the motto, "Protection at Home." Then followed citizens in private conveyances. They halt ed in front of the Post printing office where a stand was erected for the after-noon meeting which was called to order by Dr. Tool, chairman of the Republican County Committee, where Hon. Charles Miller was elect ed President and the names of the usual number of secretaries and Vice President were read. The Freeburg Harrison and Morton Glee Clnb sang a number of campaign sougs which were received with loud applause, when Mr. J. E. Culder of Harrisburg was introduced who de livered a very able address on the political issues of this campaign. The meeting in the evening was held in the Court House and was preceded by a torch-light parade which was composed of the Adams burg Bund, several hundred of our substantial citizens, and wusheuded by the Middleburgh Bund. It was a line display. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by Chairman Tool, and J. A, Lumbard was elected President. Addresses were delivered by D. S. Butes, Republican nominee for Sen ator of thii District, A. W. Potter, Esq., tho Republican choice of this county for CougresB and Hon. Sam uel H. Orwig of Lewisburg. Tho speakers wero frequently greeted with ringing applause which gave ev ery evidense of endorsement of the stuunch Republican principles they upheld. lime and space prevents us from giving merited .recognition to tho apeakers, to tho Harrison and Morton Glee Club of Freeburg and to the Adumsburg and Middle burgh bunds, but they were heard by a crowded house.

The Grand Army of the Republic is still growing, because there are still many old soldiers who have never entered its ranks. Its mem bers is now nearly or quite 400,000, but as the majority of the soldiers who fought during the rebellion, and who Btill live, are probably un der 60 years of age, recruits will continue to take tho places of dying comrades for some years to come, or until all the survivors are enroll ed. When the break-up begins it will probably be very rapid. Pennsylvania has a good State law of interest to those persons who think it fun to poison people's dogs, cats or fowls. It reads as follows : "A person who unjustly administers any poison or noxious drug or sub stance to an animal, or unjustly ex poses any drug or substance with tnta'ihat the) same shall Im falcon by an animal whether such animal be the property of himself or an other is guilty of misdemeanor."
