Nowadays a woman who flirts achieves a notoriety that is hard for ler to escape. It clings for years, and it leads inar-y people to lend a more than willing ear to any rumors affecting character. The fact should be a valuable warning to the sex. ny of our readers wanting a pure article of rye whisky, especial- y for medical purposes, can bo ac commodated by addressing Marks & Enders, Middleburgh,.

John Steese, attornoy-at-luw, of Oibisoniu, Pa., stopped over and shook hands with his many friends here Monday on his return home from his father's funeral, Charles Steese, of Limestone township, Un ion county, who was buried on Sun lay. It was once supposed that scrofula could not bo eradicated from the system ; but the marvelous results produced by tho uso of Ayer's Sar snparilla disprove this theory. Tho reason is, this medicine is the most powerful blood-purifier ever dis covered. The consciousness of having a remedy at hand for croup, pneumon ia, sore throat, and sudden colds. is very consoling to a parent. With a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, one feels, in such cas es, a senso of security nothing else can give. General Clinton B. Fisk is not do voting much time to politics just at present. Suggested by tho lato Johnstown disaster and the many casualities all over tho country ho is busy with tho New York Accident Iusuranco Company of which ho is president, organizing it in this state. The directors of tho First Nation al Bank of Middleburgh met on the 1st, and finding over fifty per cent of tho capital stock paid in. thev concluded to opeu the doors of tho bank for business on or about No vember 27th instead of January 1 as was at first agreed upon. The bank will bo a great convenience to the people in tho west end of the county and it is honed will rccieve their encouragement in. word and deed. An exchange says : Take a Unit ed States bill of any denomination and hold it up to the light and you will see two linos running entirely across it length-wise. Upon exami nation you will find these to consist of a silk thread, a red one and a blue one. Every genuine bill has this mark of genuineness. Without those marks, a bill may be put down as a counterfeit no matter how good the engravings on it. No paper mill dare make that sort of paper, und that is the government's only pro tection for its currency.

We are still hero anil all alive, most of tho farmers are through with their corn and some have commenc ed plowing. II. S. Meiscr, our thrifty merchant, is doing a booming business. S. Steininger was seen hauling off several organs last week. Nolly knows how to put up a good organ, and how to sell it. In the future E. F. (loss will be boss of Middlecreek, he having trad ed the town hits from A. H. I'lsh on his house and lot. E. F. has now in course of construction a house which will bo a credit to the town after it is finished. Seauly &, Goss have moved their saw-mill on tho Maurer property where they will soon commence tak iug out the lumber. Married last week : Harrison Stuck and Maggie Hcitz, Amos Snook and Bachael Pouch. Ou Saturday two of the party of hunters, who had camped in the mountains last week, passed through our village reporting having killed a largo dot-. Judging by the size of their knap-sacks she must have been a "Jumbo." Jjook om ior cneap venison as Paul is now planing a magnificent hunting expedition for the near future. For tho several last days a parrot comes regularly to John readers residence, helping himse lf to smni sweet apples which are hanging on a tree close by tho house. Several plans were made to capture "Poll" but as yet none succeeded. .. I,t is now rumored that tho turkey that John nhot had "light" feathers and wus too heavy to carry home. Mrs. John D. Goss, who had been sick for the last few weeks, is re covering slowly. At this writing Mrs. E. F. Goss is on tho sick list. Some fourty copies of the Post are weekly distributed at this office. Any place that can beat, for the sizt of tho place, will pit-use report. Boonkrstf.ai.. Ckxtrkvii.i.e. Hallow E'en was on hand Thursday evening, and with it tho young cabbage and corn fu nds as usual. A query to some who th young ladies were that gadded around town that same evening in mulo at tire. We could name the young lasst-s but we do not wisn to give them away. Mr. John Mohu and wife spent several days recently in Williams port und Jersey Shore. Seersucker coats and screen doors will not be needed until tho moon changes next April. Dr. D. B. llothrock, wife and child, of Now Berlin, visited grand pap Walter's on Saturday. J; rod. 13. Jiolig and who were among friends in Fremont over Sun day. C. D. Single, a student of Centra Pa. College, New Berlin, preached an earnest sermon to our people in tho Evangelical church on Sunday evening. S. F. Sheary was to Lewisburg on business in tho fore-part of the week. Dr. E. W. Tool, of Freeburg, was iii town on Monday. Two minds with but a single thought, two hearts that beat us one. So sang the poet of old, and so say we to-day when we chronicle the marriage of A. B. Sheary and Miss Kate Set-bold which happy event was solemnized on Tuesday evening of this week by Itev. J. A. Earnest at the Lutheran parsonage, Millliuburg, from whence they start ed east tho following morning to spend their honey-moon. May their minds contain but a single thought, to "love, honor and obey" : to be a helpmate one to another. May their hearts beat as one ; in strong affec tion, to be in happy accord in all things. May joy, peace and good will preside over this family circle, and may no cloud obscure their sun shine of happiness, and, as time rolls on and silver their now youth ful locks, way they have a number of little pedagogues to cheer them in their declining years years. Thoxelvii.i.e. J. E. Fetteroff and Isaac Hackenburg were up to Little Valley last week to put up u stave mill for Joe Knepp. This week they are up there again to tench a new set of hands to operate tho same. Last Friday "masher" Yost. Chas. 1. Erb and Dan Knepp went to Lowistown to buy themselves each a cap. I hey claim to have made money by the operation. Last week "Inch" Bill Thomas and Pharos Fetterolf each shot a leer. Squire Jim Middlcswarth says that the one Fetterolf shot was fatter then his hogs generally are when butcher day comes around. Corn is all husked, tho fodder nearly all stored uway, and the farm ers are now giving their attention to fall plowing. Tho grain fields that were sown in time look splendid, but the lato sowing looks poor. In fact, some fields don't show up a green sprout yet. The indications are that next week the seven mountains will be full of hunters. To-dav (Moudav.) ilph. Troxel, James A. Wagner, David L. and N'cr M. Middlcswarth will improve the hunting road so that nobody need be afraid of get ting arrested for cruelty to animels. California Jok. Ijowi.i.l. Mrs. Katy Bitter's sale was well attended and a good deal of stuff w as bought as relics. The party of hunters that took to the mountain last week report good luck, W. II. K. said two of them came very near seeing a deer, and Amos shot a turkey off the fence ami w hen he went to get him he was gone. The other six hunters shot tho leg oil' a rabbit und then killed it w ith a board. Our old vet., L. J. llomig, reciev ed a voucher last, week for 050 back pension, which he is deserving. airs, uenry jiauniganiner was relieved by death off a long spell of suffering and sickness last week and her remains were laid to rest at Ba ker's church. Slie leaves many friends to mourn their loss. Howard Shaiubach and familv of Paxton villi- Suudayed with his fath er-in-law W. G. Wagner. , Chas. Young has about o acres of corn yet to husk. Chus. Houser has aeccpted a )m sition from Pardee as boss over on axe. So it has been reported. Geo. Dunn has now in his posses sion the celebrated "what is it." It resembles a mule mixed with the butl'alo. He has it for sale or trade Lovers of curiosities will profit by calling on him. F. No I'axtosvii.i.e. Oliver McAtee is weather-boarding his house. It looks very much better und more home-like. "A shed is better than nothing" is the common remark, and that's w hat tho P. K. It. Co. thought, for they have just finished building a shed for the accommodation of travelers at this place. Wo think a reprect- ablo houso is absolutely necessary and tho business of our little town is deserving of one. Miss Clara Graybill of Juniata county, is visiting her sister, Mrs Irvin Graybill. A protracted meeting has com menced in the Evangelical church. Rev. L. S. Bcichard is preaching the Word. Ho is a deep, earnest man ; devoted to tho cause of Christ. Come and hear him. Tho meetings will continue during the week. If you want your last winter's hat turned over and mado prettier than ever, give MiMS Dolcio a call, where it can be done without money or price. Y'ou would be surprised were you to step into Chas. Boyer's store just now. Y'ou would find just what you have been wanting this long, long time, and that at lowest prices too. He has just returned from tho city with a full line of beautiful goods. Give him a call. Claire. D. K. Haas of Shamokin was in town this week. Hot Words. The ftil'owiiiL- m-iitiiifotiM ii, ,(!,.,.

One detective would accomplish more in a week than the three men did all the time they were here. The Honest Newspaper. Philad. 7'inn.i : public newspa pers have become so intimately in terwoven with the progress of our civilization that they must be honest to command public respect. Thev are the great educators of the pco pie; they expose hypocrisy and crime ; they are the accepted chain pious of public and business iuteg rity, they are largely the guardians of the purity of society, of politics, of public morals, and they must be thoroughly honest to bo equipped for this responsible mission. The honest newspaper criticises public wrongs in political power with equal fidelity, w hether commit ted by friend or foe, und it defends its causo only by giving tho whole truth to its readers. The time was when tho blind party organ was the political teacher of tho age but that period has passed away forever. The honest newspaper must be honest ulike in its convictions, its teachings und its business. It must bo honest in its appeals for patron ago us well us honest in its uppcals for honesty in the public and private circles which it criticises. It must bo honest in its circulation ; honest with its advertisers ; honest with all who have business relations with it. Shamokin Dam.
