Your observant and accommodating friend notices the raveling and picks it off and then he at once proceeds to unravel you by the yard, when you and the bystand ers are supposed to give him the grand ha-ha. It is u littlo fresh now, but pretty soon all the smart alecs in the country will catch on and wear spools of thread about their clothes to prove their smart ness. The home printers of every town should be protected as nearly all classes of business men are from the inroads of canvassers from foreign firms. A man who canvas ses for printed stationery should be compelled to pay license to the city, in the same manner that dry goods men, the boot and shoe men and many others throughout the coun try are compelled to do. It's very poor encouragement to the home printer when the very men he la bors to protect from peddlers, and the enticing advertisements of mer chants of other towns, patronize these men in tho printing business because they can get the work a few cents cheaper. Fairness is justice, and we hope there is no one or firm in this county who would patron ize foreign printers and then ask for home protection. $1,000 REWARD. The Commissioners of Snvder county have offered a reward of one thousand dollars for the detection, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons who peruetriited the murder of Charles W. llano on tho night of September 2il. 1SH0 This was done bv virtue of the Act of Assembly in such cases made and provided. The delay of the Commissioners in offering a reward is due to thiir desire not to conflict with the do. tectives employed by tho father of the deceased, and put to work on tho caso immediately after th tragedy. Wo hope this will give a new impetus to the caso. and n.mik in tho arrest, conviction, and execu tion of tho murderer. Complaint leaches us nearly evcrv week concerning the lawlessness permitted on our streets from time to time, loung men w ho should be taken over tho knee and thoroughly spanked are permitted to reel, stag ger, curse and insult people under the very eyes of tho law until women and children are afraid to pass a corner after dark where these gulls congregate. Drunkenness and dis- orderly conduct is punishabht by line and imprisonment and we hope some o llicer w ill w in for himself the good will of the good people by roping in few of these nuisances and teach them a lesson in common decency.

The Bank will collect checks from all points without charge, and do every tlnng to make this new and necessary venture one of tho most beneficial business interests in the county both to stock holders and depositors. Deposits received by mail will be receipted promptly. The resiirnatiou of Rev. Sir. K Swengel, pastor of the Evangelical church in this city, and his depart uro for the South, is to be much re gretted. Sir. Swenirlu was very much of a gentleman socially and certainly an able and faithful minis ter of the Gospel. In the pulpit ho was always ehxiuent and interest ing, and his sermons were usually meaty with information of a useful and important character. His ThanksjriviiiEr sermon at the union meeting in tho Presbyterian church here, two years ago, was a remark ably lino production and was nub )inhed at tho earnest request of tho members of tho various congrega tions participating. Wo hope that Mr. Swengle may bo attended with prosperity wherever ho goes. Jtclv Haven Dally Democrat. Roll or Honor.

Schoch went to a sick-bed with gastric ulceration of tho stomach. On Saturday, November 21d, at high-noon his immortal spirit wing ed its way into tho mysterious eter nity. He had reached the sixty seventh year of ago in August last. His Aged father, still remarkably vigorous, survives him. He leaves a widow, one of the most estimable aud highly esteemed women of this vicinity a son, Hon. G. Alfred Schoch, and n daughter, Sirs. Lewis W. Pawling, nearest of kin, to mourn his loss. Emanuel Schoch w as a quiet, un assuming, industrious, and esteem ed citizen j an exemplary gentleman of high moral character aud un questionable integrity. Ho did many a charitable act which was never paraded before tho public. His industry and fair-dealing put him in aflliieut-circumstaiices : and he contributed to tho general well fare of the public all that was re quired of him. The feelings of the vast assemblage w ho witnessed the depositing of his mortal remains in their lust resting place on earth was manifestly expressed in tears and profoundly sorrowful faces. We deeply sympathize with the bereav ed. Slay his ashes rest in peace, uud his immortal spirit join the an gelic host and go on through the endless cycles of eternity, singing Hosannahs to tho Lamb of God through w hoso blood w e are dens ed from sin.

Tho editor of a daily paper pub lished in a river town in Northiiin i . ..... mini county Had a little experience with a school inarm at one of tho leading hotels one night this week. The young muu is something of a stayer, and along toward breakfast time the young lady handed the young man a pencil and with one of her sweetest smiles requested him to make a row of eleven ciphers j then a perpendicular murk oue-hulf inch long downward on the right of the first cipher; upward on the right of the fourth-.dow n ward onthe right of the fifth ; upward on tho right of the seventh and eighth ; downward on the tenth. He took the hint and now the two do not speak as they pass by. A Chicago firm recently addressed tho editor of the Post in a lengthy epistle which started out as follows : "As we are getting up a history of all the American writers of poetry, and you having been recommended to us as a poet of note, we desire to have a sketch of your life and your master-piece of poetry for publica tion in our forth-coming volume." It took our breath at first to think that we had a reputation us a poet, when in fact, we only once in our life tried to write a "pome," and after seeing our effort in cold type we were tempted to commit suicide. A poet? Gee-ru-sa-lam ! We've been called everything from a mountain to moon-shine, but now to bo culled up to stand and rub tdbows with the great Shakespere,Pope,Byron,Wads worth, Southworth and House worth, is too stiff for our modest nature, and we weep for the past and its golden opportunities which were -Like the Mtowriukes on tue river A moment white, then lost forever. " $200 Worth of Fun. A subscriber who is curious to know how we can figure out 200 worth of fun in week's hunt, ad- Iresses us as follows : El. Post. Please cxnltiin how- in thunder you can figure two hun dred dollar's worth of fun out of a week's tramp aud toil in tho moun tains. I think you are cranky on tho subject. F. O B Well, my friend, here's' to you. By fun we mean enjoyment. Some kind of enjoyment is very expensive, other kinds not so. Some fellows find enjoyment in sitting on tho street corners and wearing out the bosom of their pants on store-boxes. It is possible you are one of these. This is not as expensive in a money ed sense us in a moral sense and can not be calculated. Another man finds enjoyment in travel. Trv a week of it, live as you would desire. and then show us your purse.Others find enjoyment in "wine, women and cards." If you don't know any thing about this mode of enjoyment, dont. Still others find enjoyment in hoarding tip and counting their wealth. This is probably the only means of enjoyment we have no knowledge, of. But all enjoyment on this mundane sphere will cost money, morals, or muscle; and every man has his own estimate of things. What is work for one man is play for another and in order to get 200 worth of fun tint of a week's deer hunt you must bo ambi tious to excell in killing game and enjoy congeniality i n c a in p.

Considerable damage was done on the Sunbury A Lewistown railroad by the flood lust week, occasioned mostly . by a suspension of freight traffic. On Tuesday mail west was compelled to run through water a distance of about 1000 feet, and sev eral places was detained by slides and washouts. The Selinsgrove bridge was damaged to such an ex tent that no trains could run over it for several days, passengers being carried across on hand-cars. Over at Williamsport and all along that section, a great deal of damage was done. The trestlework of the Montgomery bridge was carried away. Several other bridges were badly disabled, while tho low por tions of Williamsport and other places were inundated. Institute Lectures.

A number of our exchanges say that by a law approved in Slay, county commissioners will hereafter receive $4.50 per day for their ser vices. This misstatement had its origin no doubt in a typographical error. The law referred to says thut county commissioners shall be al lowed "the sum of three dollars and fifty cents each, for each and every day actually and necessarily employ ed in the discharge of the duties of their office." Another law passed by tho last Legislature also says that commissionors "shall be allowed their traveling expenses necessarily incurred in tho dischargo of their official duties "Leifilstotrn Dem.
