The Troxelvillo hunting party,

of the Post, returned from their
deer hunt in "Camp Allen Moyer"
on Saturday, having killed three of
tho tloet-footod animals tho one. a
fine, fat, four-prong buck. The
lucky fellows who got tho shots and
did the killing wore Phures Fetter-
olf and Ner M. Middloswarth, of
Troxelvillo, and A. D. Krnamer, of
Kroanier. The party on joyed the

Simple common seuso is often at a

gave wine to his guests and was iu

the court of quarter sossious of his
county for the violation of the
Brooks law. Ho appealed, and the
Supremo court reversed tho court
below, saying "There is notlfing iu
the Brooks law to restrain and reg
ulate the use of liquors by privato
citizens in thoir own dwellings. The
criminal law of this stato does not
make it a misdemeanor for a citizen
to think intoxicating liquor in hU

Every lino in tho newspaper costs
something. If it -is for the benefit
of an individual it should l paid
for. If a grocer was askod to donate
groceries to ono abundantly able to
pay for them ho would refuse. Tho
proprietor of tho newspaper must
pay for tho free advertising if the
beneficiary does not, and yet it is
one of the 'hardest things to bo
learned by many that a newspaper
has space iu its columns, to rent,
and must rent to livo. To givo away
or rent for anything loss than living
rates would bo as certainly fatal an
for u landlord to furnish rent free.
On Thursday last wo entered Du

Although the 12th mouth it retains
its old Roman name of tho 10th. It
is tho dullest and dreasiest of tho

snow and ice, to frost and cold, to
thick furs aud rosy eheeks, ami tho
music of sleigh bells. It brings

Tho Scientific American says the
following is tho bost known remedy
for diphtheiria : At tho first indica
tion of tho disease in tho throat of a
person, mako tho room close, then
take a tin cup and pour into it a
quautity of tar and turpentine,
equal parts. Then hold tho cup ov
er the fire so as to till the room with
fumes. The patient on inhaliugtho
fumes will cough ip aud spit out all
the membraneous matter, and tho
diphthoria will soon pass off. The
funibs of tho tar and turpentine will
soon loosen the matter iu tho throat,
and thus afford relief that has baf
fled the skill of the physicians.
Killed A Monster Bear.
Amos Snook, of the "West end,"
shot a bear on Friday morning of

There were three other hunters, be

got Hight of bruin on Friday, and
euch time sent his contribution of

eft him on tho suu-sido of Jacks
mountain, and tho next morning
Mr. Snook stationed himself on the
little low place" between Krebs'
and Kiicpp'g gaps, and tho balance
of tho party started in to rout bruin
They succeed so well that Mr. Snook
soon obeorved his bcatship coining
up tho steep grade, laboring like an
overtaxed freight engine. When
within a fow rods, Mr. Snook fired

the animal rollod over and over down

ed by the apparent helpless condi

No, no, no, Brother Lesher. The

bo until they aro proven false. We
will continue to eneourugn tho vic

A Bit of History.
On tho (ith day of December, IHH'J,
the first issue of tho Post was sent
out under its present management.
It seems hardly possiblo thut ten
years have elapsed since wo came
into this countya stranger among
strangers with nothing to recom
mend us but a light heart and a pair
of willing hands. These ten years
have been tho shortest ami happiest
of our life.
We have not had sunshine all these
years, and the waters at times have
been troubled aud tho heavens dark,
but we Lent -our eyo tin tho sunnv
sido and steered straight ahead.
Our subscription lint which num
bered one thousand when wo look
tho paper from our predecessor's
hands, soon fell to six hundred due
we presume.to tho prejudices on the
part of tho peoplo against a now
man. But, thoso prejudices did not
last forever, and soon wo had all the
old names on our list and many new
ouch and now we modestly claim a
circulation of l.fion with the Hiib
scription books always open for in
spection.
Our course has not at nil times
been fully endorsed by nil of the
people a blessing no ono oould ex
pectbut we havo eudeavored to do
right as wo saw it and depended
upon the safety of oar own judg
ment which is the only criterion left
tho individual who has learned by
tough experience that ho must take
care of himself or nobody olso will.
We have endeavored to issuu a
paper that sells on its merits and
not on its political proclivities, aud
as a result tho I'osi is m -- "or
gan as the term is upp!n"l, tor it
has always considered "publa; oflice
a public trust" and has been as
ready to condemn! otlieial abuses in
the Republican party as iu the Dem
ocratic. Neither is it as "rank" as
some would have it, but wo recog
nize no higher authority than the
Golden llule, which should exist in
politics as. well as in religion, and
wherever merit exists we recognize
it regardless of party distinction.
Wo consider tho time past when men
should bo pilloried on account of
their political convictions. Wo can
not all see things as wo would like,,
to. Tho father of tho writer of this
article was a democrat, iiJ m .
ni lomnf num. Friendship and
true worth havo always shown their
lie ft in our political balance, and
they shall continue to do so, so
Imigas the present editor owns ami
controls (lie paper. That this
course lias received the endorsement
of public sentiment is self-evident
from the liberal and continually in
creasing pittrouae it. is receiving.
