All that loving bands could do was administered, but his soul winged its flight to its eternal resting place. He was a bright. christian gentleman, loved by all who knew him. He will be missed y all his many frieuds and family. but more by his betrothed, a highly respeoted lady of Now Berlin, to whom the deceased expected to be married in two mouths time.

The w heels of time's chariot havo ratchets to them, and they move only lorward. Thoro is much excitement through out Centre county on the question of building a county poor house, which will bo voted upon in Feb ruary. In the eastern section there are few paupers, and tho people are generally opposed to the project; whild the western end is as strongly in favor of it. There is now 51:10,111 m poor tax annually raised in the coun ty, which would bo nearly enough to build a good house for homo paupers. Keep Bkkokk The Pt ui.te. This is what Petor Cooper, who died worth many millions, said of a newspaper: In all towns where a newspiper is published every man should adver tise in it if nothing more than a card statiughis name and tho business be is engaged in. It does not ouly pay the advertiser, but lets peoplo at a distance know that tho town in which you reside is a prosperous community of business men. Never pull dowu your sign while you expect to do business. Last week tho Editor of tho Post was in Harrisburg aud visited the House of Representatives. He fouud Hon. C. W.

On Thursday morning Mr. Pawling arose a lit t lo earlier than usual, and if auy unpleasant words passe 1 be tween him an 1 Mrs. Pawling, she alono knows their nature.
