We nre gratified to present our readers with u portrait of Elmer Itoush, tho young man whose life was ended so sadly and so suddenly last week at Fremont. The father of tho deceased wishes ns to say that although the coroner's jury ren dered a verdict that the boy com mitted suicide, the general belief prevails among thoso who know him best that the wholo affair is due to tho accidental discharge of the weapon while loiulrug it. We regret to note the sad accident that has befallen our young friend and subscriber, Prof. Chns. G. Hen dricks of Selinsgrove. Recently while riding a bicycle in the Normal gymnasium, at Bloomsburg, Pa., he met with an accident resulting in the breaking of a limb.

Under tho recent law opening up the schools for addi tional scholars, there have been so many applications that the commis siou feels that it must do something soon. April is always tho most licklo mouth us to weather, Winter uud Spring buttling almost unceasingly for supremacy. But however the elements may battle, April usually brings mild weather and with the advent of the month Winter takes its departure. The promise of balmy air uud warm sunshine was held out only a few days ago, when blight days made the heart glad, when fruit trees put forth thoir buds uud ull nature seeiuod to wako from the icy sleep of Winter. It was n beau tiful promise, but it wus an April promise. Tho month bus not chang ed its nature uud its weather hus not changed its variableness. On the contrary the few fiuoduys vouch safed were only tho forerunners of borne of tho worst Winter weather we havo had, aud the deepest snow we have had for yearB. With all tho uncertainty of April weather nobody expected such a relapse to Winter as that of tho past few days. The extremely deep snow may well sur prise the most callous of all the old residents, and inspire stories of destruction of all sorts of crops. Two feet of snow in the middle of April makes one lose faith in the correct procession of the seasons. Can't Get Alonjj Without the "Post " . El.

The withdrawal of Senator Smith from the contest for s. nator in tl Northern district of Lancaster county is a recognition of tho over whelming sentiment in that locuLty against tho re-election of Senator Cameron to the United States Senate two years hence. Smith is a person al uud political friend of Senator Cameron and, had ho boon elected, would have supported him fir an other term. This was niiulo tho is hub of tho campaign by his compet itors, Representatives Kaull'iiiun and Stober, both of whom uro uuti-Cuin-orou. J. Hay Brown, Smith's most formidable supporter, saw the hope lessness of his cause us tho campaign progressed and to save him from de feat ho induced him to withdraw. This loaves the battle to bo fought out between Kuuffniau and Stober with their chuueus about equally di vided. When tho President recently par doned a woman who had boon con victed of u crime, he did ho upon tho condition tuat she wouKl ut oueo leave this country, and thereafter stay out oi it. Tins week, in par doning a man who had pleaded guitly of passing a counterfeit $100 bill, aud had asked clemency on the ground that ho committed tho act while under tho iutluouce of liquor, tha President uHlxed to tho papers a note that tho pardon was "grunted on condition that the prisoner en tirely abstain from indulgence iu in toxicating beverages for tho term of five years from date." It is hard to tell how the President can enforce the condition imposed upon either of these pardoned felons. Perhaps the man may be faithful to his pro mise of abstinence, and the woman to her pledge of self-bauishmeut. The condition in each case was fixed upon the President's own freo will vides that tho President "shall have nower to errant reprieves and par dons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeach ment.
