They have necks like a giraffo and tongues as long as a fence rail, and will reach cjean across a sixty foot lot and pick the Spanish needles out from under the bottom rail of the oppo site fence. Tho re is one advantage with them. They keep the grass manured in front of tho residences which retains a bright green color the year round. Lets fence up tho borough and sell it for a cattle ranch! One great secret of success in business the secret, in fact, of suc cess on a large scale is to conceive of it as a matter of principle, not as a series of transactions. There are great merchants as there are statesmen, and there are small mer chants as there are small politicians and tho difference between the great and small men is very much the same in both professions. The small politician works by the day, and sees only the oue opportunity before him, tho small merchant does the same thing he is looking for the next dollar ; the great states man, on the other hand, is master of the situation because lie under stands the general principles which control events ; this knowledge en ables him to deal with large ques tions and shapo the future. Tho great merchant does the same thing. His business is not a mere money getting affair, not a mere matter of barter, but a science and an art : he studies the general laws of trade, watches the general condition of the country, investigates present needs, forsees f uturo wants, and adapts his business to the broad conditions of his time and place. He puts as much brains into his work as does the statesman, and he ends by being, not a money-getter, but a large minded and capable man. An emi nently successful business man of the statesmanlike quality said the other day that the more he under stood of lifo the more clearly that he saw it was all done on business principles. By which he meant, not only that the universe stands for one dollar, but that the universe is governed by unvarying laws, that promptness, exactness, thorough ness and honesty are wrought in every fiber. On these business prin ciples all life is conducted if not by men, at least by that power which is behind man. It ought to be the ambition of every young man to treat his business from the point of view of a statesman, and not from that of a politician. Bkavertowx.Ou Saturday occur red one of the most serious runa ways and accidents known in this community for years. The facts as the writer has learned them are as follows ! William Freed, clerk in Amnion Bowersox's store drove to the depot with a truck wagon load of empty coal oil barrels. With him on the wagon were Boweisox's two boys, two of Edward Freed's sons and a son of Roubeu Greenboe. Stopping at the proper place for un loading, the driver placed the lines into the hands of Meado Bowersox, who was sitting on top of a barrel in the front part of tho wagon, ami went into the oflice for consultation. In his absence the horses beoAine shy and started. Meade tried to restrain thorn, but iu doing so drew himself and the barrel on which he was sitting off tho wagon, ho falling against one horse ami tho barrel against (he other. Tho horses now started in full earnest. Meade was entanglnd in the lines and was drag ged sony distance. Tho wagon also passed oyer him. Ho was picked up with his leg broken and woefully cut and Tjruised. Johnnie Bower sox feJl'off before the horses had fairly started. Ho was taken up unconscious but not much hurt. IrvinTreed jumped off without in jury.' the horses, with the other two boys, continued along the rail road to West street and through it north to Walnut. At the crossing of MarkXit street Nelson Freed was thrown out landing on his face. He was tiken up helpless. His injuries consisted of a deep hole in tho back of his head, a badly braised leg, and a bruised ' face. Willie, Greenhoe, now alone, theri jqinped off on to a grassy place, turning a summersault and getting op unhurt. Continuing to the east extremity of Walnut street, the horses turned up toward Market, where they were met and stopped. At Mrs. Strieker's they uprooted two shade trees und snap ped tho hitching post. The barrels were scattered along the route. One remained on the wagon. The team was not injured. The services of Dr. A. M. Smith ami Dr. Baker were secured for the injured boys. JohnE. Snyder is in Nebraska for pleasure ami the good of his health. Edward Freed and William Bea ver have placed pavements iu front of their residences. Mrs. William liebcr ninl her daughter, of Danville, visited here last week. Solomon Get, of Dmicaunou, is back on a visit. He has been veiy seriously sick at the residence of his sister in Selinsgrove for a week past. Tho late rains have given some of our farmers a great deal of trouble with their oats. Citizen. Thoxelvili.e. Tho incessant rain of last week blasted many a far mer's foud hopes, und caused nearly all of the oats to be left out over Sunday. Rumor has it, that Paul Ettinger is shooting all the gray squirrels that he can draw a bead on. This has been his practice ever since ho can handle a gun, and a lesson in Bluckstoue might be beneficial. Jonathan Good, of Shumokin Dam, formerly from this place, is lying dangerously ill at his mother's residence, south of town. Say Tom, you and I never had a harvest spree that lusted as long us some of your correspondents seem to. Oh, no, we never drink so much. The Troxelville Cornet Bund will hold a Lawn Festival on Suturduy, Aug. 10th, day and evening. Every energy is being put forth to make this the loading festival of the 19th century. It takes money to keep up a band, und as this one ranks with the foremost in the stato, I hope they will bo liberally patron ized. In connection with the festi val a special program will be carried out, in which "Trapper Jim," and his trained monkeys will be leading attractions. Come, one and all, and bring your purse along and spill it here. California Joe. Siiamokin Dam.

H Herman and James Etting er took a load of huckleberries to Northumberland 8(i7 quarts, or ov er 27 bushels.

UNo. You can tell pretty well how a girl feels towards you by the way she tukes hold of your arm. If she doesn't care you know it by the in difference of her muscles. If she has it great confidence in you the pressure tells it ; and friendship is us distinct from love iu that mode of expression as iu words or looks. A woman can tell the arm of a fel low she likes very ninch with per fect comfort, even if she is six feet high and he is four. But even if the two are just matched she can make him feel disdain, contempt, discom fort, dislike anything she likes, by the way she does not hold on to him. I am told there is u great deal of difference, too, between tho way a girl fits her wast to one man's arm compared with another, but I hard ly believe it.
