The North'd I'tus says : "Some
time ago a valuable horse belonging
to Robert Lesher of Blue HiH broke
tho hoof and knee, and instead of
shooting the horse -tho old way of
treating such oaos lie employed a
veterinary surgeon of Sunbury and
bad tho broken leg set. Now the
liorsoisotia fair way of being as
good as ever. It wns an ugly frac
ture and was given tbo following
treatment: After readjusting tho
broken bone the animal was har
nessed in straps for four weeks so
that it could only toueh the ground
with its three sound legs.
The following very important bill
has been signed by the Governor
and now becomes a law : "An act
authorizing Courts of Common Pleas
to appoint a competent person to
inspect school houses on complaint
of taxable citizens of any school dis.
trict in which boards directors or
controllers have failed to provide
aid to maintain proper and adequate
accomodations for the children who
aro lawfully entitled to school priv
ileges in tho district, and prescribj
iug a penalty by removal from offici
for neglect of duty on the part of
school directors."
Iu view of the diversity of opinion
concerning the new feo bill reocntlv
Bigiivu iuj vjoveriior, me ques
tion at issue being whether justices
of the peaeo and coustables are in
cluded iu tho provisions of tho act if
holdiug ofiico at the timo of the pass
ago of the act, Judge Reoder of
Nortbamptau County has, in a case
stated, decided that the fee bill goes
into immediate operation and that
justices and constables must make
out their bills in nccordanco with
this act and tho county commission
ers must pay them. In souk) coun
ties in tho Stato the new bill is con
strued, without judicial decree, to
apply only to those elected after the
passage ol tlio act. juilge iieeiiers
decision is tbo first upon the sub
ject.
Professor Schacfl'er, the new State
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, says that of tho 2",:V.V. teach
ers in tho public schools of Penn
sylvania only 11)4 are college grad
uates. Moro than one-half of the
li5,!llt; never attended an academy, a
seminary or normal school. Pro
fessor Schacfl'er thinks tho State
ought to utilize University Exten
sion for tho improvement of these
teachers. No doubt it would be
better if morn money were spent
ou education in Pennsylvania. Tlio
cheapness of the Summer schools
under tho Chautauqua system will
como easly within the means of the
teachers, and tho programme, con
sisting of authoriativo lectures by
leading professors connected with
tho great universities of the country,
offers a liberal education.
It is amazing tho number of per
sons that aro injured through rail
road accidents. It arises mostly
from persons thoughtlessly crossing
tho tracks in tho face of moving cars,
or walking on the latter when trains
aro approaching. Very frequently
it comes from persons stepping from
a track on which a train is approach
ing on tho opposito ono without
looking up or down to beo if it is
clear of trains. Tho bust way is to
avoid walking ou a railroad track at
auy timo. Especially sbould the
aged or those dull of hearing forbear.
Iu England and on tho continent of
Europe any person proven guilty of
having walked or crossed a railroad
track is amenable to a heavy fine.
They must cross bridges built over
the track. Possibly the practice, will
never be broken up here until laws
are passed to prohibit it.

The following, which was pn--ed
by the last legislature, will bo of in
terest to the public and prevent ma
liciously inclined prisons from get
ting into trouble : "Any persons
who willfully states, delivers or
trausmits, by any means whatever
to the managing editor, publisher
or reporter of any newspaper, for
publication therein, any libelous
statement concerning any person in
corporation, and thereby secures an
actual publication of the same, is
hereby declared guilty of a misde
meanor, and upon conviction shall
be sentenced to pay a tine nt ex
ceeding 5 to, and undergo an im
prisonment for a period not exceed

cretion of the court."
"How high will central real estate
ill our large cities ultimately go?"
asks the Atlanta (ititittim. "New
York, for instance. Tlio site of St.
Luko's Hospital, on Fifth avenue,
recently sold for 2, Hfi),itil, which is
!:$l)00 for every front foot of each of
its four sides. Forty years ago tin
property was sold for sriii.ouii."
Commenting ou this precious dirt,
tho Pittsburg Cirontrti' says that
some real ustato in Pittsburg doub
les in value every seven years.
Property commanding such prices
is central or advantageously located.
But it is easy to raise the value of
any city real estate by improving it
In building, tho latest fashion and
tho tastes of customers and tenants
sbould be studied. Owners of old-
fashion and inconvenient houses will
find that it pays to remodel them
and givo them a few decorative
nourishes. Most ot our growing
cities are undergoing the process of
rebuilding, and architectural attrac
tiveness is studied. With duo at
tention to theso hints, there is no
telling how high improved real estate
will go iu Atlanta and other cities
Rapid transit to tho suburbs wil
not hurt central property in Hour
ishing ciUes. Iu point of fact it wil
make central location moio valu
able." '

For tho last year or two George
F. Diuilerman, formerly of Free

roe township, Juniata county, has,
it would seem, beeu cutting up high
jinks in the pension business. He

agent, going to ignorant persons
whom be learned were trying to se

himself as u skillful hand at the bus

Tho rain on last Saturday evening
was a great benefit to tho corn and
late pot atoes A 1 1 his writing som e
of our old soldiers are still looking
for their pension checks. I suppose
Hoke has forgotten them ... Who
would have thought hat Grover and
his rebel friend Hoke would have
appreciated the old soldier so much
by taking the bread out of their
mouths for the kindness thev had
lone in saving baby Ruth's papa.
Grover, if your sub-titutn is dead
and his widow drawing pension to
keep from starving, take it Grover
and Co., take it. Grover is now
confined to the house with rheuma
tism. If he would have contracted
thi! disease iu the army, and were
getting six dollars per month as
many tin old soldier isdoing.my Idea
is Hoke would have it increased by
taking it from some old soldier that
went to war for the benefit of bis
country. It looks rough foragovor
luent to employ a rebel at .it0(i per
year who used bis utmost power to
destroy it and using its defenders
in the way be is doing. Hoke says
he can save the govt rment 2i)I(iiii),0()li.
