The question of water-works for Middleburgh has been agitated for tho last fow weeks, and tho matter has been thoroughly discussed in the hotels and shops but nothing has boen said in the papers where matters of public, interest aro wont to bo considered. As a citizen and property owner of Middleburgh, the editor of tho Fosr is for water, but as tho columns of tho Fosr "are al ways open for t ho discussion of top ics of interest to its patrons" this piper will bo independent in the matter, and wo invite au honest dis cussion of tho question through its columns. No ono will question tho necessity of protection from fire and tho ad vantages of pure mountain water (such as can bo procured here) for household and street purposes. An objoctiou advanced by thoso oppos ed is, tliat it is to bo built by a for eign company. This in true, but wo cannot expect that aliens to tin town will do t ne work and funiUh the major part of the capital un.l then relinquish tho control of the corporation to tho town. II sides, they sull the water to our people, who may want it for household pur poses loiitiug the company respon sible for tho perfect work of tho plant. If they fail in tho perfect construction of the same it is their loss, for no citizen will pay rent for a thing ho cannot, use. Selinsgrovo is sighted n-t a very strong argument against it. In our opinion it is a strong argument for it, as their exporienco wo may 'uni " f'-'r.iK'DuH bo' taken against any possible mU- t;uo on tho part of tho borough, aud thereby cause any dissatisfaction or disagreement among our citizens. Seliugrov: i t sighted as one of the cases where water has been an in jury to a town. We do not pretend to know whether it is a benefit or in jury to that town, but, admitting that it h is been an injury, it is one instance in a thousand where such has been tho case. Wo hope our pi oplo will lay their prejudices to a side and look (lie matter squire in tho face. One single lire may cost us mure incon venience, liu'inciaUy and otherwise, than tho whole cost of water protec tion would amount to for a quarter of a century. "Come, let lis reason together.'' B.

'2:5, 1811. Ho was of German ancestry. His early years were spent on the farm and as clerk in different stores, which gave him a knowledge of the mercantile business, and iu ls.'Cl ho moved to Selinsgrovo and entered into the mercantile business, taking as a partner John A. Sterrett. He sustained prominent business rela tions with nearly every important enterprise in the county up to with in a few years of his death as mer chant, miller, banker, and was prom inently connected with tho construe tiou of the S.

Mr. Schnure was a quiet, unob trusive citizen, universally respect ed for his good qualities.

Tho Mouth. The mouth is the front door of you r face. It is t he upcrt ore to the cold storage roieii of your anatomy. Some mouths look like p' aches and cream and some look like a hole ohopp"il into a brick wall to admit a new door or window. Tin- mouth is a hot bed of toothaches, the bung hole of oratory and a baby's crown ing glry. It is the crimson aisle to our liver and nature's appal at us for blow ing out t he gas. It is patriot ism's fountain hea l and the tool chest for pie. Without it tho poli tician would be a wonderer on the face of tho earth. It is tho grocer's friend, tho orator's pride and tho dentist's hope. It puts some men on tho rostrum and many on the stone pile. It is temptation's lunch corner when attached to a maiden, aud a tobacconist's friend when at tached to a man. Without it mar ried life would be a perpetual sum mer dream and tho dude would loose half of his attractions. And most of all and greatest of all if there were no mouths there would bo no goodbyes or happy greetings, no words of comfort, of hope, no laughter full of sunshine or songs full of praise.
