With this issue of tho Post will be found a supplement containing tho Sheriffs Proclamation of tho elec tion. It bears a simile of tho ticket to bo votod, and it will convey valuable and needed information in regard to tho now method of voting. It is considrably simplified from last year, and nil that is necessary to do, when you want to volo tho straight Republican ticket, is to mnke your cross in the centre of tho ring at tho head of the first ticket No man ever becomes great, wise or rich by accident. This wo would like to impress upon tho minds of many idle young mou. A young man's prosperity dopeuds upon him self. If you are industrious aiiu frugal, and set before you an object in life, you will succeed ; but if you are indoleut.improvident and change able, you will como to no good.

A Baltimoro girl was recently awarded $500 damages for a kiss bestowed upon her against her will by a man. Recently in tho New York courts tlireo men wero charged $5 each for hugging girls against their (the girls') will.

Tho scarcity of employment and the dulness of tho times would havo made tho buying of text books for tho term a serious task for many parents. It is no trifling matter to supply a boy or girl with books and supplies necessary for successful work at school, uud this year iu particular, it would havo been im possible for Homo parents to have bought tho necessary books for their children, and quito a number of boys and girls would thus have been kept away from school on account of not having tho necessary books and no means of procuring them. Writing of the peach harvest iu Juniata county, Bro. Allison, of the Jlcntltl, says it has proved far less profitable to the producers than they expected, because of tho un precedented yield of tho Delaware uud Jersey orchards, and tho want of business tact and cordial co-operation among tho producers. A Walker township grower shipped 30 crates of choice peaches and received a return for tho lot of only 05 cents. Ho reccomonds that tho, peach glowers of Juniata county organize u peach exchange, whero all peaches shall bo inspected before shipment and nono but choice fruit in good condition shipped, and to such places only us there is a demand for them and whero responsible and honest commission men have been engaged to haudlo them. The Flag Raising The raising of flags on our publio school buildings by the P. O. S. of A. on Friday of last week was suc cessfully carried out as advertised and in tho evening the pupils of our publio schools gave a most enjoy able little entertainment in the court house. They were followed by Rev. Moorhead, who delivered a most thoughtful and entertaining address on tho great questions of the day. He is a keen observer, an omnivor ous reader, and the possessor of a most retentive memory. In fact Mr. Moorhead hns a mind oX his own. Ho never takes anything Tor grant ed, but after thoroughly acquainting himself with the subject, ho renders his verdict in plain languago pay ing little attention to word-painting, for he has the gift of language, and devotes his entire attention to the dissecting of the subject before him. He opened the doors to a number of important national questions and lead his hearers to the portal where ho bade them stop, aud look, and think, and before they were half through he had them !ookiug in an entirely opposite direction at a ques tion of an entire different nature but of equal importance to our country's prosperity. He is one of tho most entertaining aud instructive speak ers wo ever heard. How To Keep Apples. The keeping of apples during the winter largely depends on the mode of handling them when they are harvested. Apples that have fallen to the ground have become bruised to some extent, . and. will sooner or later begin to decay. Sish apples should be made into 'cider, for vinegar, without delay. Apples that are to be stored should be picked from the tree and handled carefully, ho as not to permit of the slightest injury to n single one, it being well known that whero one rotten apple is in the barrel the others are liable to rot sooner than if nil aro sound.

Tl oy must have had a glorious old tine, judging from the reports in tin papers. Dr. A. M. Smith of Ai amsburg was drafted into service to address the veterans, and the Alioona Timet says ho acquitted himself nobly. He was a member of Company I in the 40th, and gave an account of his first engagement w ith the "Johnnies," lauding the bravery of the "Snydor County Dutch," and told bow the officers wore compelled to ride in front of bis company and stop it from going right into Richmond.

They carried a double-barreled gun and were Recomputed by a dog. Tho dog soon tracked a coon, which led the boys a l'u'MTy chaso almost to tho top of tho mountain, where it was trood '4 t' w fits Hiram, the elder of the boy, 'iltpptl'; 6 Buu ou finback and started to climb the tree He had ascended only aliout ten feet when a largo black bear appeared on the scene. Hiram jumped to the ground and with his brother start ed on a run for their home about half a mile distant. The bear, w hich had killed the dog at one blow of its paw, started after tho boys down the mountain. The boys wero too frightened to attempt to show their pursuer fltlit and so they coutiiiuci to ruu. Tho bear gave the boys a closo chaso until they reached home, when they succeeded in getting into the door just us the bruin caiiie up Mr Waite aroused by the boys' cries soon ascertained the trouble tun with a farm hand ho attacked the bear with an ax nud killed it. The bear was a full grown female tun weighed 170 pounds. Tyrone Times - '' A Week in Camp. En. Post. Last week I had the ploasuro of camping out with a most congonial party, of Union county folks, viz : Martin Reed, wife, and sou Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Stitz- er, Daniel Moss aud wife, and sou Jimmie, Mr. aud Mrs. Steadmaii, Charles Stitzer and Will Moss. Our tent was pitched at Laurel Run, four miles east of Woodward, in Penns Valley Narrows. Wo named it "Mid Mountain Camp" being lo cated at the junction of three hugh mountains. Tho country is full o: small game, and the skill of our him tors never left the pot empty of gamo. W had quito a number of visitors in camp during tho week who added greatly to tho pleasures of tho occasion. Wo all longed for an adventure and wo got it before wo left for homo. It came in the shape of u "bear." Tho men had all gone out hunting leaving tho ladies alotio iu camp. All of a sudden one of the ladies espied a black object in tho thick brush. She saw it move, an at once sore amed "a bear !" Thin was tho signal for a general stampede and, of course, wo all run, but were soon called back. Tho bear turne out to bo a member of our party whom wo called "Ptitti." The wt was ouo of unalloyed pleasure, am will bo treasured us one of tho most pleasant recollections of a life time. Jen G.

TROXELV1LLE Dr. Miller has moved into the houso occupied by Tillio Heinley and has his ollico iu David Mattern's ouMpuce. . . .Tho story circulated that a hunmu uvau bflu !""" frtun ! several miles east of this pmce and that Dr. Miller had it'in his posses sion has no truth in it. This is the way the story started : Thomas J. Weikle, who owns and resides on the old Michael Moyer mill property, in company with another man, found several locks of human hair under a stone somewhere above the mill dam. This was enough for some people such as tho world is full of. Here some one "chipped iu" aud asked, "But how did these hair get there?" Well, Thomas Jordan comes forth and explains it pretty clearly. Everybody that kuows "der oldt Tom Yardou'' knows that he has a habit of letting his hair grow to a considerable length before hav ing it cut. Well, Tom says that several years ago he got his hair cut and his whiskers shaved off and then placed the hair under a stone iu that vicinity ; and iu all probability this is his fleece, and the mystery is re vealed. .. .Tom, you were misin formed when somebody told you that tho Booneys killed eleven wild turkeys last Monday. They killed only three Amos II. Herman gave his uew house a coat of paint.... Dr. Miller is busy digging tho cellar for his new house, which he will put up next summer.... Last Saturday, while Harrison Schrader was gather ing chestnuts iu his woods, ho dis covered a certain fellow in the act of shouting ono of his (Schrader) do mestic turkeys. When the culprit discovered that Mr. Schrader was so close tit hand he dropped his "game" and disappeared in tho dense under brush, but too late, for Mr. Schrader was too closo and had already iden tified the smart fellow, uud knows exactly who ho is. Mr. Schrader gave me his name, which I will with hold on condition that ho w ill coin- ply with Mr. Schrader's demands, which aro as follows : That tho fel low will como forward uud tav full value for tho turkey, uud promise on his word of honor never u-'uiu to en. ttr upon Mr. Scliradui's land for the purpose of hunting or any other unlawful net. If ho refuses or ne glects for a period of fifteen days to comply with the above demand he will be deull with according to law. Mr. Schrader is a whole-souled, big hearted fellow, and, in our humble opinion, shows too much mercy for such an individual, Ho should make a pretty example of him, and it may put a stop to such hunting.
