Tho bill prohibiting tho hunting of deer in the Slate of Pennsylvania for three years lias not become a law yet as some papers have stated. It has passi'd t he House and is now in the Senate with fair prospects of passage. As the Senate is made up of kid gloved gentlemen who cau af ford to go into another State to hunt for three years it will undoubt edly pass, and then we will havn to appeal to the good sense of Gover nor l'altison to veto it. If ho dont, then the poor loan who ha Is'Ui'fit ted in health and happiness by tak ing u week out every year away from toil and care in pursuit of the leer can oil his Winchester and set it away, while thepoaeher, for whoso special benefit the 1 iw seems to have been made, can prepare his licks and lyiild hi-t dead-falls for general slaughter, hi causo thei'o is no one now to molest or make him afraid. There is not an honf.xt lnt,ti:r n the State who is in favor of the bill, and why should a law bo passed against the direct interests of the people whoulooe concern themselves about it? Meanwhile allowing' the destruction of our forests to go on unmolested, thus narrowing the hab itation of the deer and driving away those that aro still with us. Yes; Governor Pattison is a gen tleman and a sportsman, and we do not believe that ho will place his sig nature to a bill that will sweep away the poor mail's last crumb of com fort simply because it is recommend ed by a lot of feather-headed rt- mentalifits who draw salary at Xlar risburg for misrepresenting the State !

It is u case iu which Patrick Carr, a township aud itor, sought to collect pay from the county for time speut in preparing for the spring elections as provided by the Baker ballot law. The case was decided agaiust Carr, Archbald holding that Baker ballot law does not authorize the county commis sioners to pay borough or township auditors w ages for the time occupied by them in preparing the local bal lots and in delivering them. He say the act does not provide that auditors shojl be paid, if they are to receive compensation that is to come from the borough or towuship treasuries, wiuoe it is they who are beuetited by their time. In uo iu ttauce is the county liable for wages to auditor for nucU work. CO., PA., APRIL Reforms at Funerals. The action of theclergy of Youngs town, Ohio, decrying tho use of crepe at funerals, asking that the services over the dead bo hereafter of the simplest character, and oppos ing the needless expenco that has come to be the fashionable thing when the dead are laid away, is iu linn with tho spirit of reform in the matter that h is manifested itself on recent occasions in I it.t years. The spirit of the ugi demands a change in the whole system of funerals an I in many places th reform referred to by the Youngstown clergy are in full force and effect. The late Hnry Wurd Bencher was among the earl iest advocates of the ;ib lis iori of the use of crepe us a si:;n of gi'ir.f over tho departed, and tie askn.l bin wife to wear no outward mark of mourn ing when he died. The injunction she carried out to the letter and when the pastor was buried Ply-' mouth church was redolent with the aroma of banks of tlow. rs. instead j of the sombre coloring of the trap- pings ami inn suits or woe. i idea of curtailing the funeral ser vices has been extensively cirri" I out of the late and at the fum rals of ex-S -cretary Bl.me, ex Presid 'n; Hayes, General Butler and Justice Lamar, within the present yeir, there were no sermons of any sort, only the reading of an appropriate chapter of the Bibhi the singiug of a familiar hymn followed by iuter tnent. Iu the many changes that have taken placn in tho i las of peo ple us to what is the proper thing to do on such occasions, ih sermon has ben tabooed entimlr. The warning tones of th opl 'iatii.g clergyman can add nothing to the comfort of the bereave I. Tim ser mon is in tho cotliu before them and nothing that may b said can a l l to or detract from tho solemnity of the hour. The reform proposed in red icing the expetioe- of funerals is one that will appeal to the good seino of every one. When deaths ocenr there is no debate on tlu question of costs, and many a family have gone beyond their means for appear ance sake. Bit this change must be inaugurated by the well-to-do peo ple. Just so long as they ,.p. i I hundreds of dollars iu burial-, just, so long will pour people, who eau not afford tho expenditure, indulgo in the luxury. Thou hardship will follow. There is a good deal of hu man nature in it all. shown in en deavors on the part of families not able to bear the heavy expenco, to keep pace with their more fortunate neighbors, when the q-iestiou vf laying away uear and dear friends is considered. Tho action of the Youngstown clergy will serve a useful purpose iu the agitation of question' that wait an early settlement. Mr. Kuha's Statement.

Nobody was shot at, and I am sure that no body was hit, as 1 didn't lire iu the direction the men stood.
