Cliailes Wilson Herman, tho Ri pjblicau cindulate for Assembly, was biii n in Penii Twp., Snyder Co., fa., in the year lC(i, His native incest ry, l aving lived in the vicinity it his bnth upwaid-t of one hun iiod yeurs. in among tho oldest in the county, and embraces many and fell-known pioneer fumilies, who k ive done their share in developing onr country by clearing away the (oresti ilt-KS it ts nd transforming a wilder- into a tiabitablo and productive hud. He is the offspring of a hum Mo though honest parentage, which, uhile not particularly conspicious p necount of rare qualities, or of Vping lofty deeds, is nevertheless UiltW of broken words or promis- . uncancelled obligajtionjuorharp incus ana practices; a parentage that has alivny been frauk and ever ready to reciprocate a favor and bear its burdens of life and society. His father having been a farmer, Charles was, of course, brought up as a farm er's boy, and necessarily engaged in all kinds of work incident to this noble occupation. At the age of seventeen years he engaged in teach ing, which vocation ho followed in alternation with that of working on the farm namely, teaching in win ter aud working on tho farm iu sum mer during the next seven years of his life. Tho first three years were thus spent in his native county, and the remainiug four in Ohio and Kan sas. His early education was ob tained iu tho common schools and teachers' normal courses. Thirsting for greater scholastic attainments after ho had completed his seveuth term of teaching, he entered tho sophomore class of Missionary In stitute, Selinsgrove, Pa., the fall term of '80. After au attendance of three years ho was graduated from this institution with distinction. Iu the fall of W, in order to complete a full classical course of educa tion, he entered tho junior class of Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa., and in due course of titne namely, in '83 was graduated with the degree of A. B. While iu this institution he secured several prizes in oratorical coutests. With his education completed lie began a second period of teaching at Potts grove, Pa., in '83 ; the uext year he taught at Adamsburg, Pa., In May '87 he was elected Supt. of the public schools of Snyder Co., Pa., and in NO, upon the expiration of his first term, be was re-elected to the same office. Mr. Herman comes from a good republican family, his father and grandfather having warmly es poused the principles of his adopted party before him. He yields to no one in bis allegiance to the Repub lican party, whose principles and measures, he belives, when put into practice in the administration of our government, will bring the most good to the greatest number. Mr. Herman, also, looks upon a public office as a publio trust aud it will be the height of his ambition to carry out the will and wishes of his constit uents to serve the whole people and their interests. It will be ap propriate here to refer to the report which was put into circulation pre ceding his nomination, that he, as a legislator, would favor as extension ct the sohool term which would CO., PA., OCTOBER 18, 181)4. causo nn increased school tax. lie does not believe in nuking taxation excessive or burdensome for any purposn under ordinary eircuin stances; he does not. think that any decided benefit would accrue to a purely agricultural propl. by in creasing tho minimum of the school term which is already very liberal ; he does not t hink that it is altogeth er proper and just when the people now are accorded (lie privilege to lengthen tho school term if they see fit, to make it n matter of compulsion! but most of all. he knowing that the peoplo ate opposed to this ipi"s lion, and therefore, us a true and honest representative which ho means to be, he will oppose it He will do the same with all the other questions that will confront him namely, conscientiously and zealous ly advocate or oppose them, con forming his actions to the wishes of his continents, who certainly ought to know best what will be for or against their interests. Mr. Herman is a self-made man verily, the architect of his own for tune. Practically speaking, ho has been relying upon himself since he was seventeen years of age. He has l . l l; . i , . neen severely uiscipiineu in tno school of life. His attainments and position in life aro the result of such cardinal virtues of manhood as pa tient industry, close economy, strict sobriety aud the exercise of good common sense. His election to tho House of Representatives may welt serve as an inspiration to many a poor boy, serving in an humble ca pacity at this day. 'The fact that the subject of this sketch is in tho ptiuTe otTife,rfi?"rti3t fie possesVes, all the qualities of mind and heart to make him capable and trust worthy, bespeaks for him a useful and successful career as a legislator. Tho people of Snyder couuty will not be dissapnointed iu placing their trust in him by voting for him next November. The youug Men's Republican Club of Middleburgh will meet in the G. A. R.

Volun teers held their annual re-union at Snyder county's capital. The town assumed a holiday appearance, most of our citizens having decorated their residences on Monday.
