This ton has gottdi down to a pretty low moral strata when tho re port of :i (niirfl liunter's shot-gun can b(i Ik iuiI a whole Sunday morn ing and no attempt is )iiad to arrest the oft'i-iider. It migLt do in tho mountains whr tin- echo dA out before it mingles with tho iVund of tho church-hHIs in the alley, but tho boldness of Sunday morning's work deserves prompt action. Tell us who it was and you will havo the pleasure of seein-; his name in print. Every Utile whilo we read of some one who has stuck a ru.ity nail in his foot, knee or some other portion of his person and lickjaw resulting therefrom of which the patient died. Yet all such wounds, it is said, can be healed without such fatal conse quences as often follow them. Smoke such wounds or anv wound that is inflamed with burning wool cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool will tako the pain out of the worst wound and repeated once or twice will allay the worst case of inflamatiou arising from a wound. Tho Willianisport 7'itien says that the residents along Boautty's run are excited by tho discovery of a wolf in 'hat locality. It has been seen by several farmers whoso story ueed not be doubted. Tho raugoof tho animal is evidently within a circle of two miles, where tho woods are dense and the hil'.s are compact and rough. The unusual appearance of this species of animal is a surprise to the oldest inhabitants, who had almost forgotten the wolf, although it is not unusual to meet with bears and wildcats, and occasionally a panther. Tho Parliament of.'all Religions at Chicago has ended. It was one of the shows, and what good; if any it accomplished, is not yet in sight. It may it is expected be the harbin ger of religious toleration to some extent iu a social way in Asia and Africa and Europe, aud suggest to the leaders of the different Religious that they should agree not to disagree and not uniider each other, as has been the case too long. The word religion means to biud again, to uuite these who havo been separated, to harmonize those who havo been iu antagonism. From a newspaper published in Longeusalza, Germany, tho birth place of our fellow citizen, Prof. P. Billhardt, we learn that the Einper. or of Germany has conferred the or der of tho "Red Eagle" upon the Professor's brother. Max Billhardt, Counsellor of the lt'th Army corps, for valuable services reudered his couutry iu his official capacity. The order thus conferred is rarely be stowed upon any one without the necessary amount of so-called blue blood in his veius, hence we conclude that the receiver of this honor must U a man of extraordinary merits. There was tiuito a rage sometime ago for perfuming tho skin, an ex chaego says. Some physicians dis covered that the hypodermic injec tion of certain perfumes, such as white rose, lilac or violet, under the skiu caused the perfume to bo ex haled from the whole body and even from the breath. All the ladies wanted to be perfumed. The oper ation had to be repeated about once a w eek iu order to secure the desired effect, l'ot unfortunately, two or three of tho perfumed ones took bad cases of blood ioioniiig, and cue or two died. That put a quietus on the hypodermic injection, of perfume, aud the whole matter dropped. l-OI.. SAMI KI. M. JACKSON, Krptililtntli CuiiilMiilo for Stnto Tretwurrr. Misses Eillio and Maggio Spaid spent Sunday at Beavci town. Miss Carrie Bachmnn has returned from Jier eight weeks' trip to Ship peiisburg. A pleasant littlo wedding took placo at the residence of Dr .T. B. 'jibighaus on Wednesday of last week, when his oldest daughter, MissSallie, was united in marriago to Harry Bibighaun, of Philadelphia. Rev. Neff performed tho ceremony in tho presence of only a few of the most intimate friends. Tho couple immediately started on their honey moon trip to the World's Fair, Upon their return they will take up their abode in Philadelphia, their future home. The bride is an esti mable young lady of fine accomplish mcnts and high moral character, and the groom is one of Philadelphia's most congenial and successful com mercial mon. Rev. W. II. Diven, of Newport, aged about (. years aud the third oldest minister iu the Coutral Penn sylvania Lutheran Synod, was found guilty of embez.lenieut and false entries by the Lutheran Synod at its recent session at Bellefoute and ex pelled from the ministry. Ho was troasurer of tho Synod for thirteen years and investigation showed a shortaco of over $1, :)M) in last year's account. He offered to give all that ho has to make good tho loss, but his overtures were unavailing. Res olutions were then passed to make the otlice of treasurer lust but one year and make tho treasurer give bond for the full amount of money appropriated. Samuel J. Paulinir.

Sthntyrove Timet. Many individuals iu nrivato lif would bo happy if their debts were in such good shape as those of tho Mate of Pennsylvania. Fiftv ago, when this State had only oue third its present population and one fourth its wealth now, it was loaded with a debt of forty millions. This has now been reduced to only $2,. 400,000, and before another year, over ono and a half millions more will be paid off. The State Treas urer will have tho money to do it, and has given notice to the unv, ill iug creditors that they must take it. Beyond this, the State owns $'M00,. 000 in Government bonds and 700,000 in Allegheny Railroad bonds, so that it is really out of debt, or, rather has more assets thau liabili ties. Of course its credit is gilt edged aud if necessary, the State could borrow money at very low rates of interest. CO.; PA., OCTOBER 12, 1893. r HON. !.

They do not make an attempt to restrain the animal and whenever t ho mon- grel brute send a harmless dog yelping along the road they give him an extra potion of food for his ex cellent services. They do not stop to think that if it were their dog that was being abused they would laugh out of the other side of their mouth Bicycle riders are also greatly an noyed and often injured by these ill trained curs, and several of the dogs have lately gotten tho worst of the bargain by being caught in tho rump by a ball from a 2'2-calibre revolver, The fact is, dogs havo no business on the road, and, although the law aiAy b on the owiior' side, no uaa is going to risk a dog bite for the satisfaction of proving the animal a nuisance ; and, taking advantage of tho first law of nature, they will h(Kt, and it is well for owners of dogs to mako a note of this, or they may have an opportunity iu the near future to drag their otherwise val uable dog from the street by the bin 1 leg and plant him unJ.-t the daisies.

There is as much truth as poetry iu the lines : "LikUKb Slid ttu wiirlj Uu.,-11, wiiu i.hi . Wlt'p, mill )(Hl wivp .linn--;" and perhaps it is as well. There is inevitable sadness enough iu each lot without adopting that of others. Sympathy for real troubles should always be given, along with what help for them is possible. But there are many pers jus w ho, especially in their ow u families, talk too much of their own ills and troubles, although they are always smiling and genial among strangers, and ever ready with a pleasant," I thauk you," for every service rendered. If they can rise above their despondencies iu tho presence of straugers, with a persis tent effort they can stay above them at home, till they may in the end for get about a part of them at least, iu finding how much belter they are liked by those around them. If you would pass successfully through life, wear a bright face and a pleasing manner even though they may some times mask a heavy h A Doctor'i Plea, Fiuexd Tom. About two weeks ago I read Boonastiel's letter in your valuable paper and I was amused by his simple and yet forcible comment on tho promise to pay. "That's all right1' would bo all right if it kept tho editor, physician, "tho butcher, the baker aud candlestick maker" moving, but since it buys neither food nor raiment it is unsatisfactory. I am sorry that so many people are inclined to regard this with so much indifference. u often heard tho remark, "I should pay my paper, but theie is no hurry, the editor can send mine along with the rest and don't mind it." The- editor, how ever, is imt alone in this rcqert. I have likcM-ie heard the remark. This trip or this medicine costs the doctor littl.-or nothing and he can wait." Iii ing a physician by pro fession and practice, I was, of course, most interested m tuat part of your letter which dwelt directly upon tho followers of Aesculapius. Our profession seems to have few rights which, any, in modern times, feel obliged to respect. One right, that educated, true conscientious. self-sacrificing, medical men should have, is the right of protection against bastard competition. He who has invested his time, labor, means and prime of youth, in ac quiring knowledge to tit hiru for a high aud responsible calling, is com pelled to encounter the competition of those who have neither invested time, money or labor in tho pursuit of medical or any other knowledge. Another, right which is tramph der foot is that to demand a i a the witness stand. The doctor is summoned as a medical witness and put on the stand. He is asked what he thinks and not what ho knows. His opinion is therefore exf.oi't.ed from him under penalty for refusal. He is, in no sense a witness : for the latter testifies to facts what he knows. If an urd.nary .vitness dares to say, 'T thiuk." "It is may opiuiou." he is immediately stopped, and told his opinion is not, wanted ; that he is put there to tell just what he knows, but the physician is com pelled to give an op.nion ina mat ter of no moment to Linn but of much to somebody else an I is sub jected to the galhng croMs-eaiuina tion of some insolent, upstart attor ney , he is taken from his ollice practice, detained at court f.r days is pai l, if anything, one dollar a day and called a witness. The physician himself only can appreciate what a physician is, and what he should be, aud what his life is. He can realize, as nono oth er cau, that there is no other pro fession, no avocation of life, save that alone which deals with mail's eternal and immortal interests, which embodies iu its nature so much good, usefulness and so much that is honorable as tho science, and practice of medicine. By t ho lone couch of suffering, in the still hour of night, when tho world sees not andheurs not, stands ho as a lust hope with tho tears, tho sorrows, the anxieties, the gratittitu of help less ones aud his crown is sanctified; yet the world knows uoL those things.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Nathan (,'.

While some form of compulsory e l lc.iiiun legislation has heen passed in several States, the great majority of Americans seem to think it out of harmony with our institutions. They find the (u l.tions of l.t'n to be less attractive in those countries w hose ( 1 )venr..ie:i( s are continually intermed 11. ng with the freedom of the cui.eii than it is in nations whoso people sc-uveiy feel the fric tion of governmental machinery. Tho subject i, i compulsory educa tion has provoked ranch scholastic discussion but it has not reached the importance of a national issue. UjieHtiou.s which deeply agitato tho public soon tiud their way into polit ical platforms, national and State. American politicians are astute to discover the quarter from which the popular gales are blowing ami are always ready i 'j ' ' to catch the breeze. Every declaration of policy which promises to win votes is likely to be found embedded some where in tho assortment of prin ciples en loi'ied ;u part y iron vent ions. In there were live national parties iu the tield, and only one of them, the most discredited and least powerful of the li.-,i, made any ref erence to compulsory education. Republican, Democratic, the Pro Subitum and the I'oople s party made no allusion to the topic. Tho So cialist s adopt od this plan); : "School education of ail children under I I years of ago to be compulsory, gra tuitous and accessible to ail by public ansisiauce ;n meals, clollimg, buok.-i, etc' Superintendent Sclnu'ffer, in his Rending address, recogni.nd the logical position of the Socmii.-,ts in tho mutter. He is credited with saying that many children are kept away from school becuiiHo they do not havii proper clothing, aud if Pennsylvania adopts a compulsory education urv, it must provide the necessary apparel.
