The New York Weekly Tribune and tht
Post one Year for $1.75.
We havo been frequently aske
to club some city daily with' the
Post and have always refused be
cause we have only one price for
our paper. But finally we have
made arrangements with the New
York lYibune to pay part of its
subscription in advertising and give
our subscribers the benefit of the
same enabling them to get that
first of all great metropolitan papers
and the Post for $1.75 a year. This
proposition holds good only for six
months. Any regular paid-up sub-
scriber to the Post who wishes to
have tho Tribune will have it sont
to him one year by forwarding 25
cents to this office.
Ira Hicks id still joking about the

at the same place he missed it be

word as mercury registered bolow

"most thunderin' cold."

A Physician Uses a Blackjack on a Den
tist Who Uses a Knife,
Mifflixburo, Fob. 5. An alterca
tion between Dr. Oliver Pollmau, a
prominent dentist of this place, and
Dr. Nevin Pontius, which occurred
about noon to-day, has givou the
gossips of the pluco plenty to talk
about for some time to come. Dr.
Pontius formerly resided in Mifilin-
burg, but for several years has boon
'practicing in Colorado. Recently hu
returned, ami, it is said, found that
Dr. Pullman had won the affections
of his fiancee, and his jealousy
prompted him to seek revenge,
1 To-day Dr. Pontius entered Dr.
i rcllmun s oflico and made an attack
upon him with a blackjack, the latter
defending himself with a knife.
When they werescperatud by friends
it was found that both had been
badly bruised aud cut. Dr. Pcllmun
inter secured tho arrest of Pontius,
ho was placed under bail for his
appearance at court. All of tho par
ties conceruod are highly connected.
Make Friends at Home.
Very many boyH and girl are
aaxioug to make friends among
strangers, while no pains are takon
t( make friends of those at homo.
Father, mother, brothers, and sis
ters, all seem to be boyond the pale
ot friendship. Thoy may bo slight
ed and insulted with impunity; no
courtesy or respect is paid them t
tlityaxe expected to nialca up at a
luOtaenl's iotice, no apology iof any
kn4 beingoflfor ed or thought fit. J rj,

ed from unpremeditated, but never
theless cruel injustico. Relatives
imagine themselves privileged to
criticise as o stranger would dare
to do. N6w this is all wrong. Broth
ers and sisters should speuk words
of praise and eucourugoiuvut. Leavo
others to do tho disagrcouhlo-it
will be done, never fear. B as
courteous at homo as you are abroad.
Respect your homo and family as
you wish to bo respected. Don't
save all your smiles for strangers
and your frowns for home. Love
your brothers aud your sisters, ro
meiuberiug that lovo begets lovo ;
you will novor regret tho kindness
you havo shown, while your thought
fullness and indiffereuco to your
own may reup a bitter harvest. Life
would bo smoother in many a home
if everybody would endeavor to un
derstand his or her uoighbor in tho
home, and if everybody were taken
at the best and not at tho worst
valuation.
Coal Dirt Money Paid.
On Wednosday afternoon the at
torneys for tho coal companies paid
to the attorneys representing the
damage claimants. .$100,000. This
money was paid to those claiments
whoso titles were perfect and who
hud releasos for judgments and
mortgages. Checks wero drawn for
$M,000, which will bo paid to tho
balance of tho claimants as soon as
they present tho proper papors. Tho
$100,00 will be paid to the claimants
on Friday afternoon. All these ro
sidiug cast of Snydertown will be
paid at tho law ollico of W, W. Ryon,
in Shamokin, and all thoso west of
Snydertown will receivo their money
at tho law oflico of C. B. Witmer, in
this city. Hunbury Daily.
Additions to reutod premises,
whou made by the tenant, should
nover bo fustenod with nails, but
with screws. The reason for this
lies iu tho fact that should ho wish
to movo away and tako with him the
boards and other lumber composing
tho improvements ho has mado ho
can simply draw the screws and
take the planks. If he fastens them
with nails however, ho cau remove
nothing, and the improvements bo
come tho landlord's property. Tho
fuct results from a legul quibble, in
sisting that articles fastened with
screws are for temporary uso and if
put in place by the tenant are his
own property.

How to Sleep Soundly.
Iu sleeping much depends on se
curing a comfortublo position. Ly
ing on tho buck would seem to give
tho most ease, but general expo
rienco and practice prove that it
does not, and it is liable to somo
detinito objections. In a weakly
state of the heart and blood vessels
and in certain morbid conditions of
tho bruin tho blood seems to gravi
tate to tho buck of the head and to
produce troublesomo dreams. Per
sons who have contracted chests
and who have had pleurisy and re
tain adhesions of tho lungs do not
sleep well on the back. Nearly all
who aro inclined to snore do ho in
that position.
For thoso and other reasons it is
therefore bettor to lio on tho side,
and in lung disoaso to lio on tho
weuk side, so as to loavo tho healthy
lung free to expand. It is well to
choose tho right side, because, when
tho body is thus placod, tho food
gravitates more easily out of tho
stomach into tho intestines.
Sleeping with tho arm thrown
over tho head is to bo deprecated,
but this position is ofteu assumed
during sleep becauso circulation is
then froo iu the oxtroinitios and tho
head and neck, and tho muscles iu
tho chest are drawn up and fixed by
the shoulders, and thus expansion
of tho thorax is easy. Tho chief ob
jections to this position aro that it
creates a tendency to cramp aud
cold in the arms, and sometimes
soems to causo headaches and
dreams.
Tho best sloop is obtainod when
the shutters aro closod so as to make
the room dark aud tho windows aro
adjusted so as to admit plenty of
frosh air. Early rising is not a vir
tue, unless tho risor has secured
sleep enough i and tho host rising
is obtained whan tho sleeper wakos
naturally.

SHUN DEBT.
It is better to livo in somo discom
fort than to live in tho foar of cred
itors whose bills we are not ablo to
pay. If man is in easy circumstan
ces the bland tradesman urges you
to buy and "pay whou you pleaso."
If you are poor and your character
for honesty and integrity is above
reproach and you borrow on that,
you pawn your character. If a man
has the courage to say "no," when
he is tempted to go into debt, ho
may have to suffer soino privation,
perhaps he' may feel somewhat
keenly his want, but ho will not iiu
peril his honor nor suffer tho worry
and discomfort of dunning creditors.
Indirectly men incur indebtedness
that ruin them. To do a friend a fa
vor by the use of your uimio is often
necessary in business. It is simply
complying with tho form of a bus
iness contract. He needs money,
and to borrow it requires security.
Still the responsibility for the entire
sum rests on thesocurity which ho
must pay if the principal fails. Some
of the best and most honorablo men
have been ruined by accommodating
their friends. '.We do not advise
against security in all casos, because
that would make a radical change
necessary in the business world or
stop a large 'amount of business
transactions, but it is foolish in the
extreme to accommodate a friend at
the expense of your own ruin.
. It would be bettor in all cuses to
give your friend money, if you havo
any, and li you have not you are
probably not in a s. - to safely

1etf"
owing
ui nuaucn er :
"Never .. .jw whero there is a
chance, however remote, that you
will not be ablo to pay. ' Never lend
what you aro not prepared to give.
Never guarantee for another, what
you cannot fulfill if tho other should
fail." Iu this way your financial
condition cannot bo seriously em
barrassed. MIDDLKCREEK.
