The approach of the winter even ings and the slacking up of work in the couutry districts will give oppor tunity for the "revival of the literary and debating societies which havo been instumental in helping a young man to understand tho measure of his ability and kindled the spark of ambition which has led to fame for the individual and important conse quences for the nation. We should be glad to hear that every district in tho county has organized a society of this sort and that all the people and especially the young men are in terested in all its proceedings. Prim itive as often are the methods em ployed aud rude the language of some of tho partiepants, yet they are real training schools from which at times past have come forth tlm orator, the statesman, tho leader of men. Nor have they lost their uses even in the highly complex civilization of the present year. Wherever they still have a place in the affections of the people they continue to do a good work for tho young and aspiring whose opportunities are limited, and they should bo encouraged and sus tained by the people of every com munity.

How his few stern, stereotyped questions knock ed tho sand out of us and made us forget what little wo knew. How we wondered that so small a head could hold so much ? How ho encourair. ed us with tho promise of making Presidents out of all the boys and Presidents wives out of all the irirls He was an ideal hero in our estima tion for having reached so high a rung o n the ladder of fame. Thirty years havo passed since then and we look back with wonder and surprise that there was a time when we fear ed any one man as much as we did him.

Lawrence J. Ibach, known far and wide as tho "blacksmith astrono mer," died at his home in Newman town, Lebanon comity, on Tuesday, Oct. 2, aged 72 years. Mr. Ibach was well-known as an astronomer, and for years made the astronomi cal calculations for Baer's and many of the other almanacs published in this country. He was born in Allen town, and was almost entirely self educated. He spoke German, French, Spanish ami Italian, ami was a man of general and varied in formation. Some one growled recently in the Daily because we spoke of the en terprise and snap of Mr. Jerome B. Reed, in his work of putting in steam heat. Ac, while we left out the name of Mr. Silas R. Conrad as among the men in that business. We have nothing personal against Mr. Conrad at all. He is a clever citizen, and wo are informed put in the steam heat radiators at tho Methodist church of Sunhury. Mr. Reed is not only a good reliable man of business, but he is a subscriber of 'f he Nuwsand a large business like advertiser in its broad pages. Mr. Conrad is not. It pays to advertise and it pays to take The News. The live business man advertises and thus makes it pay. We know what we are talking about when we say that Reed does work in Northum berland, in Selinsgrovv, in Middle burgh, in Lowistown and all over the country 'round, because lie ad vertises and does satisfactory work. Whoro an advertiser docs good work he is entitled to a special good word. Sunlmry Atnerti'mi. Jes' so, Bro.Brice; and if you had waded the streams and tramped the mountains with Mr. Reed as much as we have you could not only say that he was a good reliable ni.m of business but a bully good fellow besides.

Who would be without (Jollier's 'Once a Week V Bro. Lesher of the VV'es wants to bet 100 that Mr. Helfrich did not stand up in the House of Represen tatives and defend the sculp bill with public speeches during the last session. Nobody said lie did. Mr. I lelf rich's forte is not inspeedi making. There are already too many speech-makers in the Legisla ture who prolong the session by their windy harangues. The Time also wants to know why Mr. Hel frich, did not have a special scalp law passed for Snyder county. Now, v'gad, Joe, don't trifle with political ignorance in that way. You are an editor and as such we feel interest ed in you. Don't you know that the Commissioners of Snyder county can pay premiums on scalps if they wish 1 And don't you know that paying premiums on all the scalps of birds and beasts killed in dozens of counties would bankrupt our coun ty treasury 1 You wouldn't want it. Think of it there wouldn't bo enough money left in tho treasury to pay your printing bills. Admit it now, for once and be honest. You, or nobody else, can linil ono mistake Mr. Helfrich made while acting as our representative.

Don't waste your pre cious time in this foolhardy manner. . west-End Reilcans THEY DON'T DO THINGS BY HALVES AS THE MASS MEET ING AT BEAVERTOWN ATTESTED. Tho Republican Mass Meeting at Beavertown on Tuesday evening was a brilliant affair. Notwithstanding tho threatening weather an immense torch light procession made up of west-end patriots, illuminated the streets and after an imposing parade led tho way to Kcarn's Carriage Ba zaar, where a spacious room was provided with a platform for tho orators and seats for the hearers. Dr. E. W. Tool, Chairman of the Re publican committee called the meet ing to order and after electing J. P. Kearns Chairman, and the usunl number of Secretaries and Vice Presidents, the Troxelville Band rendered an overture in which they displayed tine instrumentation. A. W. Potter, Esq., was the first speak er. He dwelt principally on the effects imminent to the reduction of the tariff proposed by thcDcmvs.and wound up by admitting tlie honoi able means employed by his compe titor, Mr. Atkinson, for the nomina tion for congress in this district and urged his hearers to a hearty sup port of thegeiilleiuan. His remarks were well received. He was immediately followed by Mr. Atkinson, who approached 'the speaker's stand, leaning upon his crutches, and began to open the fountains of his wonderful vocabu lary ami for over an hour held his hearers spell bound with his oratory. Tho few years of public service since we last heard him have greatly im proved his style of oratory and power of diction. Smooth, eisy, and at the same time forcible. No repetition of words, looking a whole sentence ahead, his arguments came as steady and regular as the strokes of an engine. We may read up the issues of a whole campaign and not garner as much of the true, inward ness of Bourbon Democracy as to sit one hour in the hearing of a man like Mr. Atkinson. To give a synop sis of his speech would require more space aud time than is allotted us. After paving his respect to the tick et, and a word for himself, he sat down amid the enthusiastic applausu of a delighted audience, modestly bowing his acknowledgements. The Troxelville Band rendered a rattling good piece of music, and, though it was late, the people were determined to hear a few words from Rev. h. C. Edmonds, of Bethlehem, Pa., who was in the audience. Mr. Edmonds said that he was hereon a fishing and hunting expe dition uud littlccxpcctcd to make a political speech, although, as he had never been accustomed to shirk duty when called by the republican party, even in time of war, he could not refuse the request. His rev erence then sallied forth with a few well-founded remarks, but his utter contempt for President Cleveland was so strong that it magnetized his thoughts aud that "mountains of flesh, "as he termed it, was subjected to a severe cannonade from his bat tery of apparently unexhaustable sarcasm and irony. The people were evidently deeply impressed with what they had heard, during tho evening. The cll'ccts will be even more apparent on the even ing of the lit h of November, when the grand product will be added up with a heavy balance in favor of the entire Republican ticket in the year of our Lord 1888. A joint Republican Mass Meeting of Juniata, Snyder and Mifflin coun ties will be held at Richfield, on Fri day evening, Nov. 2. The meeting will bo addressed by Congressman Louis E. Atkinson, and other able speakers who will present tho iesues of tho National contest in a fair and impartial manner. A torchlight procession will be one of tho attrac tions of the occasion, which will be led by several select bands of music see bills. Troxei.vim.e. On last Sunday Rev. W. M.
