"Thw is the last of a fortune of ten thousand dollars Reware of rum. cards and women" written on a one dollar note, with red ink was receiv ed at West Rranch Rank nt Williams port one day last week. This would bo a good text for some divine's sab bath Hcrmon. The following bit of intelligence is going the rounds of the newspapers. We have not heard of it and cannot vouch for its authenticacy : A watch lost by n Snyder county farmer two years ngo was found iii the throat of one of his cows which choked to death the other morning. She had found it in a straw stack. Instead of that cow winding up the watch the watch woundup the cow. The people of Selinsgrove aro al most "beside themselves" with de light over the rendition in their townhall of the popular drama, en titled "The Turn of the Tide, "which w ill be produced in Seebold's Hall, Middleburgh, Friday evening, Feb. 1.11 ll. All should fee it. The Lewisbnrg Lnrul X, irn pub lished the Post's article of last week about the robbery of Mr. Truttand gave the proper credit as becomes n gentleman and scholar, but the typo in setting it up said that "Mr. Trutt was too lleet-footed and came horn-' ut a quarter stretch of Jiis clothing soaked with perspiration.'"

There is none, unless that there is a general looking forward to the open ing of the spring trade.

Ail . congressman .iKiuson m c imiik n with other Pennsylvania Congress men lias tins to say on the question of Prohibition to b; voted upon June lHih : "J believe that the Pro hibition am -n lni 'iit will bo carried in my district by a larger majority than the usual Republican majority, w hich is about 4,701. I should not bo surprised to see it majority of.l,. 0 )0 for Prohibit ion. If I remember rightly, all the counties iu the dis trict except Snyder gave a majority for local option. The temperance sentiment in all the counties is utrong, and the temperance people are generally in favor of Prohibition. They do not think much of the po litical Prohibitionists, however. The Third party is not strong in tho dis trict as a seperate organization. The size of tho majority for Prohibition depend 4 in my district, I think, argel.v upon whether tho canvass is managed by the temperance neonle or the Prohibitionists.

Kin. i ne.y aru coniinua v whiiiiiil.' new laurels fur the Middhbuigh baud. Among the most appreciated fea tures of thecoiiveiiti hi was t lie-illimitable performance of Alviu (Sift on the clarionet. Mr. (Sift is a brilliant young musician and has a bright fu ture. The band netted upwards of "'0 through the convention. They earn ed every cent of it and deserve thrib blo the amount. No one worked harder for its success than the lead er, John F. Stctler. M. K. Hassinger has the '"lung power" of a steam engine or he could not get the music out of that oi l Tuba horn that ho does. We hope the band w ill soon be financially able to buy him u new horn, and they will have a specialist on that instrument that is hard to equal. Judging from the many calls for P. M. Schoch, and the applause that followed each of his performances on tho slide trombone, his return to his native hearth on the ove of the convention was an auxiliary to itu success. "Robby" is a drawing card at every occasion where people ap. preciato line instrumentation. Tlie chiss, in turn, entertain the kindest feelings toward the Profes- sor and pronounce him a thorough musician and a skillful director. An object of general admiration at our Musical Convention was the upright Piano, placed hereby the Schoiniicker Piano forte manufactur ing Co., Philadelphia. Th- sweet ness and volutin of its tone pleased the ears of nil good musicians pres ent. It is certainly one of the finest ever heard iu this community and proved its durability and perfect mechanism by not showing the least effect of the hard usage it under went. Ckstukvm.i.i.
