Credit them with sincerity, with good mo tives, with honesty, with liberality once in a while. Their notion and their words may testify against them in spite of pood intentions and bet ter motives Men aro not always as bad thoy Hoein. Say a kindly word, of others oneo iu a while. 15o liberal in your praiso nnl in your commendation of others, even iu speaking of your rivals iu trade. The grocer across the street keeps just as Rood butter ns you d. All the fair dealing is not done in your Btore. Somebody else's milk is cov ered with cream ouco in a while as well B9 yours. You and your family do not constitute the whole body of the Lord's elect. Some who sub Hcribo uot to your creed may yet reach the land of light. J to liberal iu your judgements, for you aro not quite fitted to bo t ho universal judge. ot being without sin yourseii he careful whore you throw stones. Do not keep on hand a stack of sneers nud inueudoes. May your pocket book and your tongue get converted, so that. your soul may t-ren yet assumo a happy avoirdupois, for it is written that the liberal soul shall bo made fat.. Mind Your Own Business. Thfr "hardest thing for many poo T 'to Jo is to mind thoir own bus inc specially in a social way. VtWY, .ItiPOt let their neighbors' af fairs alono, but gossip' about every- thing and everybody. No character is too good for them to assail by in ueudo or doubtful shake of the head. They always kuow something about everybody aud, to henr them talk, all the world is tilled with hypo crites, thieves, liars, prostitutes aud rogues. They see innocence iu noth ing, and delight iu gathering and re tailing scandal. Of course, they uro very good themselves ; exceedingly so. They never violate any of the comnuiudmeut.4; of course uot. They would scorn to steal and will tell you sorrowfully about a sauill boy who stole, yes, actually stole nu apple from a fruit stand. 1 hit they never imagine that to hteul a char acter is the meanest theft in this wide, wide world. Tho small boy's enmo is in innocence compared to their deliberate aud incessant at tacks upon characters far bettor than their own. Fanners Insitute.

Jonathan Goodling, of Niles, Mich., formerly of Snyder county, was killed by a fast freight of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern R. R. ou the afternoon of Sept. t)th.

He left for his home in Dethlehom on Thurs day. We regret his departure. Tires and Roads. Tho last legislature in tho State of Now York enacted a law reducing the road tax to farmers who used broad tires ou their wagons. Any tire below three and one half inches in breadth in that state causes an in crease of road tax tothoowners. As a set of tires will cost no more than twelve dollars tho reduction in taxes soon buys for them. Tho weight of the load carried where wido tires are used is increased sufficiently to pay for tho outlay in a brief period. An other advai.liigj is that wheels last much longer whero wido tires are used, because sido jars on the spokes are less frequent. Another benefit is sure to follow the uso of wide tires, viz., men's tempers will not bo on the ragged edge ho frequently and profanity will not be an adjunct of very load to town or station. The uso of wide tires means better roads and better roads means relief to the farmers and his hard workod horses, and any law that accomplishes this benefits agriculture and stands for progress. Why not agitato for a law in this state similar to thoono passed in New York so that tho narrow tire that cuts up and ruius our roads may gradually disappear and finally become a thiug of the past. Almost A Centenarian. The friends aud relatives of Aunt Polly Weaver gave her a surprise party at her homo at the residence of Abraham Kauffinan, in Spring twoship, on Saturday, September ii being h.ir OCth birt'adfiy. was tho recipient of many presents from her friends and extremely en joyed the occasion. She is remark ably well preserved for her extreme age, and has almost perfect control of all her faculties, aud is as agile as many of her sisters who aro her jun iors by half a century. It is related of an Irwin school inarm, who, having an inordinate dread of contagious diseases, sent a little girl homo because she said her mother was sick and had symptoms of something alarming. The next lay tho gill presented herself at school with her linger in her month aud her little bonnet swinging by tho string and timidly said, "We'se dot a little baby at our house, but mamma told mo to tell you it isu't catching." The teacher blushed slightly and said she was glad, and told the pupil to take her seat. Greensbttru Jtenwcrut. "Comparatively few understand why a person in chargo of au estate is styled an administrator in one case and au exocutor iu another, al though their duties are respectively the same," said an old attorney. An executor is named iu the will to administer tho estate Au executrix is a femalo. If thore is no will, the female who closes tho estato is call ed the administratrix. If the person named in tho will as an executor re fuses to serve, tho court appoints anothor person and he is styled the administrator with the will annexed If a person in chargo of an estate dies or defaults aud is removed, his successor is called an administrator of the remaining assets." A traveliug medicine company came into Clearfield county not long ago and stocked tho count' up with its cureall. Then tho company set about to get certificates of its heal ing powers. One man, who received $5 for his interest in tostifyiug to tho merits of tho medicine, had his picture printed in a book of testi monials over his siguaturo, nud with a story saying ho was a sound nud well man from tho uso of tho mod iciuo. Somo kind neighbor found tho picturo and certificate ns print ed, and, being of a public spirit, scut it to tho pension commissioner nt Washington ia tho hope of saving tho government somo money. In a few days tho man who had certifiod to his Leollh received notification from tho pension office that his name, which had previously beon good for a quarterly stipend.had been dropped from the rolls. Sensation of tlie Age. Widespread attention uud much comment has been attracted by the story of tho atrocious murder of tho Kreider Family now running iu tho Harrisburg Telegram, Harribburg, Pa.

Tho lives of tho Kreiders aud their heartless, Alfred Domberger, aro portrayed with startling fidelity. Tho mur- dor sensation of tho ago. Every body should read this groar story.

The Lowest Rate of the Year to Chicago via Pennsylvania Railroad. a rt iiTiiKu Hr.nrcTiox ix fahe roa TfiE coach KXcrnsioxs. Tho rapidly approaching termina tion of the Columbia Exposition and tho enormous travel now direct ing itself to Chicago prompt the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to still lurther reduce its round trip rate on tho popular World's Fair Coach Excursions. The rate from Philadelphia will bo 17 ; Lancaster, ib'.H.": Harrisburg, 5d).7."; Altoona, !?n..')0, and a proportionate reduc tion from other points along tho main line and branches. Thesu rates apply only to special trains leaving on September 'Jih, October 'Jd and an additional ono just arranged for October I'.th. Tho tickets will, as before, bo good for return passage within ten days on trains leaving Chicago at -ho and 1 1 :-1 p. m. Tho rate lias now reached tho low est possible point, and is within tho means of almost every one, which end tho railroad company has long been endeavoring to attain. Early application lor tickets is urged, in view of tho increased demand which will undoubtedly follow this liberal announcement. , Tho scrvico for this travel will bo maintained at tho samo standard for which tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company is justly world-wide fam ous. Diseases f the Eye, Ear, Throat and Ca tarrhay,,',ctionsof the Nose and Lungs. Dr. O. W. Fursy, of Sunbury, Pa., who has boon engaged iu tho treat ment of tho above named diseases for the past eighteen years lias made arrangements to visit Middleburgh every Wednesday for a few weeks. Tho doctor's reason for coming to Middleburgh is that ho may be able to meet his numerous patients from the vicinities of Reaver Springs, Froeburg and Centrevillo with less iticonvenionco than they are put to by having to come to Sunbury. Dr. Furcy will need no introduction to tho people living iu any of these neighborhoods as ho counts his friends and acquaintances all over Snyder county by tho thousands many of them being the ol. I veterans of tho late war, whom he has had the honor to servo while ho was a member of tho Pension Hoard at Sunbury, during tho past adminis tration. Attention to refraction and tho proper fitting of glasses is ono feature of tho doctor's work and is of much importance. Itecause of tho limited time allowed bet ween trains only only a few cases besides his regular patients can be seen but all who should choose to call will re ceive tho full consideration of their cases, iu turn.
