S. T. Frain, proprietor of the Key
stone Hotel. Selinsgrove, will take
charge of the Ciawford House, Will
iamsport on April 1st. Mr. Frain
leaves many friends in this county
and we are heartly sorry ho is going
to leave. He is a born land lord
and kept up as expensive a table as
could be found outside of metropoli
tan hotels.
A eornpondent wants to know
what we meant in speaking of the
County Commissioners in the sen
tence : "They were elected for what
they are and not what they should
be." We meant to say that they
were elected as honest old farmers
and not as experienced mechanics
or civil engineers, and that if mis
takes were made, as is alleged,
they were mistakes of tho head and
not of tho heart.
Coal oil lamps are dangerous, and
mitko no mistake about it. The be
lief is now that Secretary Tracy's
house was set on iire by tho explo
sion of an oil lamp left burning in
tho library. Do not leave an oil
lamp alone. If you leave the room
put out the lamp, and don't take
any risk in tho oil dealers' assertion
that a particular kind of oil will not
explode. It is nonsense. Oil of any
sort w ill generate gas, and gas of
any sort will explode.
Tho clergymen of tho state will be
pleased to learn that tho Pennsylva
nia railroad company has restored
tho rule, abrogated some years ago,
under which they were enabled to
travel at reduced rates of fare. Cleri
cal orders will now bo issued to
clergymen not engaged in other oc
cupations bearing compensation,
who are regular pastors of churches
located on the lino of tho road, on
application to the ticket agent re
siding nearest to their resilience.
Tho certificate will cover tho entire
year, and will entitle tho holder to
tickets at the rate of two cents a
milo for the distance traveled. Min
isters do a good deal of traveling,
and they will appreciate this favor.
TneMusical Convention
ti
Tho Musical Convention, held iu
Middleburgh, was ii grand success,
notwithstanding tho heavy rain and
snowstorms, which prevailed during
last week. The class was a large
one, and contained many lino sing
ers and musicians. The chouses
rendered were of the highest grade,
ami Snyder county can be proud of
tho talent displayed on this occasion.
The class organized on Tuesday
morning, and after three days drill
ing were able to render some of our
best standard choruses and many
other difficult Four Part Songs.
Not enough praise can bo given to
these singers for their zeal and per
severance. A great help to the class
were the Misses Weist, Arnold and
Glass of Freeburg i their solos dur
ing the concerts were well appreci
ated by the audience, ami they were
fully entitled to the hearty applause
they received Middleburgh and
Franklin furnished a remarkably
large number of singers ami musi
cians, till of them uniting their ef
forts to make this undertaking a
success. Their number was ho large
that it is impossible for us to men
tion their respective merits. Owing
to the unfavorable weather, the at
tendance from abroad was slim, and
for the same reason we appreciate
the help we received from Selins
grove, Beavertown and from hoiuo
of our neighboring counties ho much
more.
Among the specialists, Mr. Hazel
of Williamsport, Pa., was the centre
of attraction ; his execution on tho
Cornet is marvelous, and the tone
he produces on his gold instrument,
is too sweet for anything. Ho was
astonished at tho musical develop
ment of our littlo county and spoko
in tho most favorable terms of the
music rendered on this occasion, it
being far beyond his expectation.
Mr. A. Gift, a former member of tho
Middleburgh Band, now of Williams
port, was the recipient of consider
able applause after tho Clarionet
solo ho played.
The Middleburgh band, under
whose auspices the Convention was
held, rendered some very tine music,
uud rightly deserve the patronage
they received. The receipts were
large enough to defray all expenses
and have a small balance, which will
go into their treasury, this being
used for further development of
m usic.

FIRE AT FREEBURG.
Between twelve and one o'clock
on Tuesday night the people of
Freeburg were awakened by a loud
explosion. In an instant the (lames
burst through the windows of the
store-house owned by Mrs. Eliza
beth Mertz ami occupied by B. J.
Bickel, general store. Iu less time
than it takes to tell it, the burning
building was surrounded by an ea
ger anxious crowd to save what thev
could but found it useless, and an
effort was made to save tin- adjoin
ing dwelling house of Mrs. Melt.,
but the tlanies spread rapidly, (In
dwelling caught lire and theinmates
scarcely escaped with .their lives.
The next building was .1. It. Shirk's
tin store which was completely
gutted, though its cuiteii.se were
removed with little damage to the
goods, but the building, though still
standing is ruined.
What caused the lire is a mystery
Mr. Bickel was away from home and
the clerk closed the store about II
o'clock. The loss to .Mrs. Mertz iu
household goods and the two build
ings is estimated at !?'J."i)ii mid had

Murder at the hands of u hired as
sassin is not the rule, but the ex
ception. The hired assassin is the
most dangerous ; he lias escaped the
first olVcucc ; his hands are stained
with blood ; remorse has forsaken
him ; knows no fear, no law, nor
does he care for a motive, but clashes
out the brains of his second victim
as if he were engaged in illegitimate
business. Look down there ! See!
There stands the employer of the
assassin with folded anus, com
pressed lips, clenched fists and a
countenance black as the inner walls
of the chimneys of hell, and says:
"I planned the murder of Charles
W. Iliuie ; I was not there ; I have
paid part of the stipulated price ; I
have sealed the lips of those who
per force of circumstances hold links
iu the chain ; I have a faithful, paid
agent who has turned away public
suspicion ; I'll pay that coward no
more money ; he dure not demand
it V Look up there ! There stands
the cowardly, trembling villain with
out stretched hand. "Give me tho
remainder of the wages you promis
ed. I must lieu from the wrath of
an injured and indignant populace.
You, my employer, have put my life
into jeopardy by declaring my guilt.
Give me my price I implore you."
Murder to conceal a less crime, to
avenge a wrong for personal safety
in the commission of a felony,
through malice, Hl-will, hatred all
these are absent. The blood of
Charles W. llano cries up from the
ground for speedy retribution to
overtake his murderers.
