Whenever you hear the cry of "frod" in election, or hear one party charge the other with having pur chased votes from their party, al ways remind them of the fact that the party which allows itself to be bought is meaner than the party that buys them.

Several days ago a pack of dogs brought a deer into one of the fields at Eil. Wagner's house, near Sigler- ville, Mifhin county. None of (lie men being about, Mrs. Wagner ran into the house and got a rifle, but, seeing tho dogs catch the deer, she called to the hired girl to brinir bel li butcher knife and wit h it she cut tho animal's throat. That's grit for you. Rev. M. R. Spayd, in addition to his description of the execution of oil man Showers which appears elsewhere, writes us as "personal" tho following which we take tho lib erty to publish: "We like our new home very much. I have a nice work three appointments. Nice people, and we are treated royally by them. I sometimes wish I could run down to the printing-office, but it is too far and walking is bad. Tho Post comes to us every Saturday and is always a very welcome visitor." John G.

Our people apprehended our helpless condition in case of a con- flagaration. No organization, no engine, no ladders, no fire-buckets. It is time that measures be taken for 0110 protection, and we would sug gest to the town council to provide us with a hook and ladder outfit. There are plenty of hands ready to form a hook and ladder company, and they are almost as effective at a fire as an expensive engine. It is time to do something. Will you act ? Up in Lycoming county, one day last week while Arthur Callahan and Lewis Raymer were engaged in get ting out railroad ties, a big black bear w hich was chased by dogs ran up to Callahan who struck him in the neck with his axe. Rruin turn ed on his assailant, threw him down and proceeded to crush his leg with his teeth. Raymer ran up and sunk his axe into the bear's back which caused him to relinquish his hoM and run. After pursuing him for about a mile the bear was overtaken and shot. On Thursday night about 10:30 the cry of tire threw our town into a hub bub of commotion. It was soon learned that the barn on J. H. Ar nold's lot was burning and all haml rushed in to assist in quenching the flames. Rut it was too lute ainl all attention was given tosave the neigh boring buildings. Fortunately the air was calm and the roofs soaked with lain and by the untiring efforts of the people the lire was kept from spreading. The loss is several hun dred dollars. No insurance. Next Monday will commence the 31st Annual Snyder county Teach ers' institute in the Court House, which will continue during the week The program for the week has all been published in the Post with the exception of Wednesday evening's lecturer w ho will be Thomas Everett, D.

Seebold, general agent for the White Sewing Machine, during his twelve years' sojourn in our mi. 1st has disposed of 3,500 machines at retail and nearly "2.000 ot whole sale. He has brought the sewing machine business to an art, and has developed into one of the most suc cessful agents in the employ of the White Company. The White Ma chine has so thoroughly sustained its high reputation during these long years of trial, that our people, in re cognition of its services have long since acknowledged it KING, and rewarded its representative in this county, Mr. Seebold, with the high leNponsilulity of carrying the keys to our eounty treasury, and he has proven himself worthy of the trust imposed upon him for he is a most efficient officer. Tho Juniata Conference the Luth eran Church iu session at Middlc burgh this week is quite well attend ed and tho session has been a very interesting one.

Charles Whiplcy, a log-driver on Pine ('reek, Tioga county, a few days ago was surprised to seen bear cross the creek ill the direction he was go ing. He waited for him to land w hen he opened tire on him with his revol ver. The bear grunted at every shot but showed no disabling effects and kept straight on iu his course. Whip ley ran to the cabin a quarter of a mile away and secured a gun. Com ing up a by-road he noticed bruin rolling iu a mud puddle. He shot and killed him. Hearing a noise in the brush he looked around aud be held another bear close by. He shut him iu the head and dropped him in his tracks. An examination of the animals showed t hut t he second bar was the one lie had peppered with his revolver having hit him thne out of the six shots. The Republican had a regular old fashioned "walk-around'' on Satur day evening to commemorate the brilliant victory scored by them at the ballot-box oil the fit It of Novem ber. The patriotic fathers and sons in neighboring towns and townships turned out on foot and on horse back, in wagons and cariiages until the procession extended almost through the entire town. The Mid dlcburgh Hand lend tho pageant with one of its thrilling quick-steps, then followed a monster white elephant with the inscription : "The same old elephant. Changed its color iu four years." Following this was a mammoth boat with a whole family outfit, including President and Mrs. Cleveland. A wagon load of twenty girls were next, who made the air ring with campaign songs, then fol lowed a cavalcade of some eighty horsemen w ith torches and banners, bearing all manner of inscriptions. After parading Middlcburgh and Franklin, cheering at every step, they proceeded to Socbold's Hall where addresses were delivered by Prof. Henry Stetlor, Prof. Wonder of Freeburg, und County Sup't Herman. The towns were brill iantly illuminate. It was a pleasant, orderly affair, an innocent amuse ment, which let off the superllucious steam left over in the Republican boiler at the end of the campaign. It releaved the participants and in jured nobody. Persons who criticise editors for refusing to send papers outside of t he county unless paid for in advance, would modify their criticisms if fate placed them in an editorial chair a few days and give them to read such stunning epistles as the one we re cciven on a postal card last week w hich we take the liberty to publish "as it was :" Rkkcii Cnr.EK, Pa.

Embezzlers and forgers ply their callings for years, and thrive and grow fat uu der their illicit gains ; but no soon er is the mask torn from them, and they are presented in their true character before the public, than they wilt like flowers before the winter frost. For this there is a most effectual remedy -be honest, and leave unappropriated property that does not belong to yon alone. The editor of the Post returned on Saturday from a week's vacation in the mountains with the Kratzer ville party. In the three days hunt they killed two deer one of them is to the credit of the Post man, the other to William Mulliii agent at .I,. ...i i i rf iinsgrovc .junction. J lie iiaiaiiee of the party expect to remain until next Saturday. Deer are quite plenty almost us plenty as the hun ters which is saying a good deal. We would here state (confidentially) that the editor of the Post did cut an old doe's throat and that after he had performed that important sur gical operation she got up, aud out of consideration for our tired legs, ran ball wav to I he shanty bclorc she dropped from loss of blood.
