We hope his merits as a practitioner will find .appreciation in this new field In one of Henry Thieau"s ramb ling talks ho gravely remaiks : "It is very rare that you meet with obstacles in this world which the humblest man has not faculties to surmount. It is true we may me to. a perpendicular precipice, but we need not jump off nor run our heads against it." Men's actions in dicate hour they appreciate their faculties. Hon.

S. II. Stroub has been appointed post-master at Penns Creek aud Wm. M. Keller at Beavertown. The (Democratic party promised " us a chaugo and it is giving it to us with a vim.

Our own "Sam Dasemshtecl will yield his column to his more experienced uncle, who will write us every week from "Hausa Uarrick."

Tho widely published reports that hotel rates in Chicago, during tho exposition, are going to be Hix dol lars a day and upward, and that lodging in snmll rooms without board will be from ten to twenty dollars per week, doubtless has had much to do with keeping people at a distance away from Chicago.

Let our neighbors giro their readers some religious discussion or quote Doouastiel's epistles, or even go sucker fishing they need a rest and recreation. No more turiff, please, neighbors. The Lutheran C-neral Synod has adopted a rso Jtiou forbidding the marriago of divorced persons, ex cept where the party desiring to re marry was divorced upon the ground of the commission of a cardinal sin by his former help meet. Now, if any of our young friends in Snyder county want to 'join the brigade matrimonial for the fun of going through a divorce, if they don't find stockings darned and buttons s.wed on, why they will take notice that they must not join the followi rs of old Martin Luther.

Get ready for another new nation al celebration day. Tho llth of Juno was tho 110th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars an I Stripes as the nag of our country. The oc casion was observed officially by the city of Now York, which had tl.igs tiyiug on the City Hall. Tho Mags were raised by Mayor Gilroy's order in response to a request mado by the Sons of the American Revolu tion. 1'iusiuess men in the crowded lower city observed the day to a considerable extent by unfurling "Old Glory," although in the fash, tollable preciuts the tl.ig was seen in but few places. The lkh of Juno will hereafter bo known as Flag-day. We beg to suggest to tho people of Middleburgh that when building new houses on our main street, iu tho future, they set them iu at lmist ten feet, and thus pave the way for a wider street. Our main street is too narrow for either business or beauty, and tho evil can bo remedied thus gradually. Perhaps tho town couucil luight bo prevailed upon to tako some action fixing a building lino for future improvements. Let us all look forward to a new Middle burgh, and a, eouuty-seat that will be a credit to good old Snyder, and impress visitors favorably. Nature has done her bhare, given us a fine location, pure air, with unsurpassed landscape scenery. Several paities of sportsmen from Shamokio and other eastern points have been in the Seven Mountains lately with their twenty dollar out fits, after fifty cents worth of fish, which is alsuit the usual proportion of the haul in that locality. That's high-toned fishing with good whis key.

They forti fied themselves, however, by send ing a bain-1 of their caLch ahead by express which was prima facia evi dence of their successful angling. They wme the guests of Maj. J. L Detweiler of Philadelphia, and tho stories they tell of tho lish they caught and the tinny monsters that got away is simply mortifying to tho fresii-water angler who gen erally takes more bait along than he brings fish back. They fished three hours, in which time they caught three bu -ihels of fish one of w hich was a :1M pound drum lish. Tun stories may sound tisliy but the tish they sent homo wore genuine. The young Pennsylvania Dutch man who has graduated at tho head of his diss at West Point this year is closely followed by another Penn sylvania Dutchman. For several years iu succession Penns lvanians have led tho graduating classes at the West Point Military Academy. Tho "l'eun'a Dutch,'1 as our people are sometimes nick-named, can tako just as many of tho world's honors as any other class, in statesmanship, as scholars, as inventors, as business men, fanners, mechanics, or iu any lino of usefulness that can bo named, while tho kid-gloved fops and snobs who indulge in sneers at tho "l'eun'a Dutch," owe every comfort, every good thing they e;(t or wear, to tho skill and genius of tho "Penn'a Dutch," and tho gentleman of tho kid-glove and swallow-tail tribe would find himself as miserable us a lly in u molasses pot if it were not for the superiority of these "Penn'a Dutch."
