Cliailes Wilson Herman, tho Ri

was biii n in Penii Twp., Snyder Co.,

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

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

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

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

been relying upon himself since he
was seventeen years of age. He has

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
