Sister Wolfe, of the Sliippensbin g
L'i ron ,!, thus philosophizes: "An
editor works ;ti;,'( days per year to
get out 52 issues of a paper; that's
labor. Onco in a whilo Homebody
pays a year's subscription: that's
capital. And once in a while a real
typo of a dead beat takes the paper
for a few yours and vanishes with
out paying for it: that's i.uarohy.
But later on justice will overtake
the last named creature, for there is
a place where ho will get. his deserts;
that's hades."

Judge Jeremiah Lyons is holding
court in New Bloomtiold, Perry Co..
this week. The Judge will havo a
pretty mess to settlo up. Tho looted
bank case will come up for trial. Tho
town has eighteen lawyers of its
own and noarly all of them aro inter
ested in one way or another iu tho
trial. Besides, four or five other
lawyers are employed. Then, with
the profusion of judges, ex-judges,
sheriffs, ex-sheriffs, 'squires and oth
er legal talent, the town will "roll"
in legal lore. Probably some mem
bers of the profession will bo legally
lower.

twenty-five from the river, millions
of miles from heaven, about two
miles from the devil, and about 2N)

worse than to have all the subscrib

The libelous article eomnlained of
appeared iu the Loader on Saturday
July 71 h aud was to tho effect that
.Maloy informed tho Company on
workingmeu leaving their work In..
fore quitting time. On Saturday,
July n, Davis evidently intended to
give Maloy tho benefit of a retrac

of editorial space, but tho retrac.
tion wasn't one of the square up

Tho practical joker again. Iu
Shamokin on the Fourth of Julvu
crowd of practical jokers placed a
can of powder under a young fellow,
just for fun. and "blowod him up,"
just for fun. The shock and tho
burning that were tho direct result
of the explosion culminated in tho
death of the young fellow on Friday,
after a month of horriblo suffering.
If there is any law iu Shiiiuokin
these practical jokers will be facing
a jury in due time, aud learning that
a practical joko that results in death
is not a bit funny, but one of the
most serious things ever devised.

Last week a Suubury gentleman
engaged a gallon of ice cream froiu
our townsman, James Forrester.
The supposed cream was shipped t o
Suubury, where tho gentleman and
his wife had invited a number of
friends to spend the evening and
partake of a treat of Snyder county
ice cream. Tho guests worn assem
bled iu tho dining room, seated
about the table. But when they
attempted t servo the cream, they
found, to their surprise, that there
was absolutely nothing in the can
which was so nicely packed in ice.
Whilo it may havo been a good joke
well played on Forrester's part, yet
it was certainly a keen disappoint
ment on tho part of those who ex
pected to enjoy tho treat. Tho
empty can had a cold journey ami
a cold reception as well. .NV7
