Potter of Selinsgrove at the Evan gelical Lutheran Church, Selins grove, on Thnsdav, Mav 0th. at 7 P. M. Dr. II. F. Vanlhiskirk of Selins grove has placed upon the market a toilet article of remarkable value called the "Uo.piet Tooth Wash" f..r preserving and cleansing the teeth, healing the gums, disinfecting the mouth ami pel fuming the breath. We. are using it and can most heart ily recoir.meud it as an invaluable article for the mouth. l?a'.uvday was a "wet"' day for Sryder county. Lverv applicant for license to sell li pior was K'aiiled by tho Court. Twenty-seven in num ber one more than hist year. Who would not live in Snyder county where you can have anything to th ink from the sparkling due-drop, with which angels make their toilet, to double-distilled, thribble-plated.rat-proof cotlin varniiih at peanut prices. Tho number of saloons in the Btate before the high license, went into effect was 21,701. This was re duced to 0,7iH under high license. Snyder county has 712 inhabitants to every saloon. Six counties have no license, viz : Armstrong, Forest, Green, Hunting Ion, Indiana and Warren. Soaimerset has threo sa loons, or one to every 11,0.1? inhabi tants, and Luzerne in 1SK7 had one saloon to every 110 inhabitants, un der high license it has one saloon to every 187. The number of saloons in Philadelphia before high license was 5,77.1 against 1,147 under high license a reduction of 4.1215. Complaint has been brought in by some of the tishernien at Swift Hun in regard to the rather severe criti cism they received from our Troxel ville correspondent in last week's Post. A rather exagerated account of their catch had grown out of a jovial remark made by one of the party and was taken un ns u m... tended truth by our correspondent. California Joe" is an old iisliei-m.m himself and probably should not have taken it so to heart knowing the acknowledged weakness the fob lowers of Isaac Walton have for t x ageration. The party showed us their catch and made no attempt to enlarge upon it hence we willingly grant them this means of vindication. Died. Died at his home in Mif lliuburg, on the 27th of April, ins;), Mr. George Gutelius, aged 7(5 years, 5 month and 27 days. Deceased was born in Mifllinburg Nov. 1st, 1812. His parents. Fredi ick inn! Catharine Gutelius, came to Mif llinburg in 1808. They had 10 chil dren 10 boys andC girls, all of whom are now dead save Mrs. Sarah Grove of Mifllinburg. His grand father was a physician i came from Alsace, Germany, in 1700. and his remains are buried at Manheim, Pa. His parents are buried in the old graveyard in Milllinburg. Mr. Gu telius was a consistent member of tho Reformed Church of Mifllinburg for a period of 64 years, and in that time wiih one of the leading ofiiccrs and mainstays of the Church. He organized the first choir thereof, and was a very interested mwmber of it until 1858. Hid trouble was heart disease. Ho was an estimable citizen, a devoted husband and father, a Christian gentleman, and his taking off will bo sorelv felt bv the aged mother and wife, his chil dren, the Church, and the public generally.

On Saturday eeiiing we accepted un invitation to accompany the em ployees of the S. L. HailroxHo Lewistown on a special train to bid Major Phillips good bye, and at the same time to preacut him with a token of their esteem in tho shape of two diamond shirt studs and a silver-backed brush ami comb, cost ing nearly $100. Ppon the arrival of the special at Lewistown Junc tion we found the depot already crowded with railroad men. Inn few minutes the Major appeared and was conducted into the largo wait ing room where Colonel Culburtson mounted a box and delivered a pre sentation speech in words such as only come from a heart oversowing with. love, for a friend. Jlon. An drew Reed followed in behalf of Major Phillips in a most fitting speech of acceptance, after which the Major gave each of his Ninploy ees good-bye by an individual shake of the hand. No one had under stood how near Major Phillips had been nestling to the hearts of his men until his resignation was an nounced. He had never refused u deserved favor to tho humblest of theni. The absence of his generous heart in the Superintendent's chair will be felt more now than ever, for "you'll never niins tho water till the well runs dry." Of all unfortunate people in the world, none are more entitled to sympathy and commiseration than those whom circumstances oblige to appear upon the witness stand in Court. We will here draw a picture of tin1 pleasures of beiuga witness. You are called to a stand and place your hand upon a copy of the Scrip ture in sheepskin binding, with a cross on one side and none on the other, to accommodate either vniety of the Christian faith. You are then arraigned bel'or.. two legal gentle men, one whom sniilrs at you bland ly because you are on his side, the other eyeing you savagely fo,- the opposite reason. The gentleman who smiles proceeds to pump you all you know, and having sipieeed all he wants out of you, relentlessly hands you over to the other, who proceeds to show you that, you are entirely mistaken in all your suppo sitions t lint yoii never saw anything you have sworn to ; in short, that you have committed direct perjury. ll) wants to know if you base ever been in State prison, and takes your denial with the nil of a man who thinks you ought to have been there. Asks you all the question over again in different ways, and tells you with an awe-inspiring severity to be careful what you say. He wants to know if he understood you to say so, and wants to know whether you meant something els. Having bullied and scared you out of your wits, and convicted you in tho eyes of tho jury of prevarication, he lets you go. R.v and by, everybody you have fallen out with is put on the stand, to swear that you are the big gest scoundrel they ever saw, and not to bo believed under oath. Then the opposing counsel, in Humming up, paints your moral photograph to the jury, us a character lit to be handed down to ull times as the type of infamy i as a man who had con spired against innocence and virtue, and stood convicted of the attempt. The Judge, in his charge, tells the jury if they believe your testimony, etc., etc., indicating that there is even u judicial doubt of your verac ity, and you go home to your wife and family, neighbors and acquaint ances, a suspected man, all because of your accidental presenco on an unfortunate occasion.

Last week the lights were lit for the lint time this season in the light house oil the reef Hear this village and a led light also was seen on the break -water protecting this harbor. In this section many are making populations for visiting New Yoru city during the Centennial. New Yolk city h.is every eolili bliee that it can show a tine time, but to one livingoutsidcof that city and through itspapeisto watch the jealous fei I ing existing among i he members of the committees of arrangements, thier partiality toward strangers, tin ir neglect toshovv proper com tcsy to distinguished foreigners and em bassadors, thennwillingnessof these capitalists in donating funds-alt in deed seem unbecoming tho metro politan city of our Republic. ..... Is it not a pity our people did not insist upon the repose of our la mented Grant's remains within the limits of the Nation's Capitol city.

To me th's seclus a lliinsy excuse. It is rath an act n ii on Iheir p'ot of re Velige or to elidi avor to make the measure unpopular so t hat it will be repealed. The best citizens of Yt. with whom have spoken speak of it as a success. Some features of Vermont prohibitory laws are un pleasant and it seems em l ied very far. Hero is one instance. A per son trave ling through the state is liable to have his baggage searched in every town he enters by any petty ollieial to enable him to ascertain whether you carry any form of alco holic drink. This is spoken of by traveling men as very unpleasant and seemingly hard. Pickerel fishing or rather shooting is in full season here. In this time of the year the pickerel come from the lake into theswainpsforthe pur pose of spawning. Although it is against the law of the state, the would be sportsman (T) stands at the edge of the swamp and with rille or shot gun shoots at the fish as they swim along the shore. By the con cussion sometimes eight pickerel art obtained at one shot. Some are quite large. Several were brought here weighing fifteen pounds. All through the day the report of guns is heard and in the evening many tish brought to the town or sent away by rail. I was shown tho other evening quite an interesting relic. During the second war with England, when her troops were inarching along the lake for tho purpose of taking Al bany, seventeen young men left this school at Plaltsburgh and advancing to meet tho British, they hid along tho road and kept molesting them for miles. They succeeded in this manner in killing quite a number of the British, among them some offi cers. For thin action Congross vot- ed to be made and presented totliem , seventeen lilh s. There Were bill j seventeen made and of a Ve y pecu liar style, and what is si i ange, al though they were lliut locks yet they Were breech loaders. One of these guns was shown to me by a son of the leader of the seventeen boys. On the stock of the gun a silver pinto is embedded with the resolution of Congress engraved on it. (1 Cr.vruKvii.i.K.
