What is the matter with the snake tories in Snyder county this hot weather f The berries abound in great quantities. Where are the snakes, the brave men, the seductive and indespensable mountain dew and lastly the successful serpent destroyer? Brother Aurand gave us a rather good one last week but we want a few more exciting ones before the close of tho season. Let them come on. Rev. J. M. Rearick, a Snyder coun ty boy hailing from our sister vil lage, Beavertown, came to Middle burgh from Centre Hall where ho is preaching the gospel to a good and faithful people. The Reverend sat in our ollico and chatted pleasantly with the sub-editor on many topics during his brief tttay. He thinks Governor Hastings is making a se rious error in deserting the people for the factional fight now ragiug in our State politics. Come again, Rev. Two fascinating, dark eyed Gip sey girls with raven hair, paraded our streets several days last week. They came to beg food, clothing and money and to tell your fortune. They were of the Simon pure type and their innate nerve and sullen temper stood them well in hand, to meet the imbecile raillery of the town "kids", who assailed them in the streets. Our irrepressible Devil, F. W. Specht, is a man of great gall, but the dark skinned daughters of the forest were "too many" for him. Come often girls. M. L. Wagenseller, the popular and successful representative of one of Philadelphia's largest wholesale houses, was a Post visitor on Tues day last. Luther is an enthusiast ou the Grand Army of tho Republic und cuu entertain the friends in an interesting manner by graphic re cital of the convulsive strife, in which he bore a very conspicu ous and gallant part. Comrade Wagenseller says, in Jus judgment, the old soldier will stand by Col. Quay in the State fight. Luther is neither a holiday soldier nor a mil tary martinet, so many of which over run the country, but he is one of the grizzled veterans of genuine stamp, who helped to fight the bloody and agonizing battles which stern destiny decreed should stand in between bated negro servitude and an absolute general freedom. When tho midnight alarm of liie broke upon the peaceful slumbers ofour still more vi'acoful citizens, hut Tuesday night, tho gallant Doc. Auig, who rests his limbs in one of Landlord Smith's best rooms on the corner, was aroused and carried away by tho unhappy excitement of tte hour, which smaHhod his plea ait dreams into evanescent aud "imitheret-UH," and rushed up town forgetting his bhirt. A collected friend pointed out to the excited doctor bis painful situation and he returned fur his garmeut. He fought tho lire like a horse. That veteran Sam. Bowen is as nimble as a cat yet with his sixty years of an active and rigorous life back of him. When tho firo broke out last week iu town at miduight no ouo expected Sam. to be on hand for he lives fully one mile away across the Flats, but one of the very first men to reach the scene of conflagration was the popular auc tioneer and no one did more heroic or valiant service in conquering the flames. Sam. would make a good fire marsh all and the towu should have a modern system for fighting fires. Will our citizens longer con tinue to court the risk of having our beautiful homes laid iu ashes before the fiercely driven flame of a west ern wind? i A coaching purty from this place started Wednesday morning for a (our days' trip to Lewisburg, Penns Cave and return. They intended going by way of Middleburg. Sel insgrove, etc., but hen about two miles this side of Middleburg, the ciorses frightened at an approaching band car and turning suddenly over turned the carriage, throwing the party out. Missos Florence Penne baker and Harriot Parker aud It. U. Jacob were injured, the injuries consisting mainly of bruixes. The traces fortunately broke and fried the horse, else a moie serious acci dent might have happened. Leic iit own Sentinel. Lawyer Jay G. Weiser, is this week making an overland trip with a spanking team of two roadsters and a carriage, to New Bloomfield and Newport, Perry county, the county where nearly all tho lawyers have been locked up for Misbe havior. Jay will have to look out. He is accompanied by the Missos Bolender and at Mahautonga, his parental homestead, his sister, Miss Weiser, also joined the gay party. Jay expects to be gone about a week and with the charming society he has we wonder whether he returns before September to take up the fighting life of the barrister, who argues for a living. Shade Mountain is now the Mecca for the berry hunter. The buckle berry crop up there is said to be a very prolific one this season, aud dai ly teams pass through Middleburgh, returning from the mountain where the people have boon in quest of the dainty little pellets, which make such delicious pies. In tho old days when the Post was edited by Jere Crouse we remembered reading a statement in it one summer that ten thousand bushels of berries had been gathered on the mountain that year, and every year when tho crop is at all of an unusual character in yield, many hundreds of bushels are taken off. Thero are several springs of the finest water in the world on Shade Mountain, water filtering through sand rocks. It is absolute ly puro and would drivo the aristo cratic gout out of the worst victim. It requires tho bravest courage and the sternest resolution to weather a day's toil up there, but thousands of our citizens have gone there in the past, in search of pleasure and of berries, and have gotten what they sought. We do not now recol lect of ever having heard of any one being fatally hurt by rattlesnakes on the mountain although every year specimens of the reptiles are killed but they seem to be harmless indi viduals of their race. Hi anil John (yoteiiKin of liiehmoml ami JIallie Street of WiUitnport, both colored, hold up and rob a tntiiter at Clement' Park. A colored man and a colored wom an were brought to the Middleburg jail on Saturday nfteruoou on a charge of larceny. They were committed to the custody of Sheriff Spocht. The man gave his name as John Coleman of Richmond, Va. His age is 30 years. The woman says her name is Hattio Street of Williamsport. The story ns given by thostrang.fr, who we have been told is Daniel Krcbs, is as follows: During the progress of a dance held at Clement's Park on Friday night, the stranger was hitting on ouo of the swings listening to tho music when he was approached by two col ored poople, a man aud a woman. The colored man drew a revolver and ordered him to throw up his hands. He did so and whilo tho col ored man kept him covered with tho revolver the wouiau proceeded to go through his clothes and relieved him of his valuables. The robbers se cured a silver watch and $3 in mon ey after which they skippod. The colored robbers were captured ou a Northern Ceutral Railroad train at Herudon and put under arrest. They were brought before H. P. Jarret, Justice of the Peace, at Sel insgrove who committed them to jail. A reporter of the Post interviewed the prisoners at the county. JaiL Each prisoner is locked in a separate cell. The woman gave her name and address as above given aud request ed the reporter not to publish the name as she had been working for nice white folks in Williamsport and she never stole anything and she did not want them to know she was iu jail. She does not know how old she is. She says sho met Coleman sev eral mouths ago. In reply to the question whether she was married to Coleman, sho remained nilont. Tho question was repeated aud a re ply was evadod. Tho woman claims the stranger gave her the watch, made indeceut proposals to her, to which she yielded. She was to re ceivo $1.00. Tho stranger refused to pay it aud sho agreed to accept 50 cents aud return the watch. The stranger refused aud Coleman came to her rescue. This U her Btory but it is not believed. Tho woman's fa ther is au Indian and her mother is white woman. Her father is dead and her mother has since been mar ried to John Ogee, a hod carrier of Williamsport. Colemau's mother, Mariah Colemau, lives at 25 Butler Street, Norfolk, Virginia. His fa the, Nelsou Coleman, lives and works at Manchester, Va. Evident ly his father and mother are not good friends. Coleman had boon traveliug with Taylor's Wild West Show. Ho loft them some time ago at Elmira and Boon after met Hattio Street in Wil liamsport. When arrested they were on the way to HarriHburg. Coleman says he is not married to Miss Street, but it uppoars she would welcome such a move. Miss Street says she was treated all right by tho folks sho was living with at Williamsport, but she bocume tired of staying thero. It appears that her infatuation for Coleman induced her to leave her employers. The woman is considerably worried on account of her imprisonment, but tho man boars up more bravely. On sorno pretense tho prisoners on their journey to tho jail left the carriage near Chas. Millor's farm in Penn Township and refused to re turn to the carriage. The con stablo pleaded with tho prisoners but the latter still resisted. Cole man was asked to raise his hands. He refused. The constable did not wish to shoot, but he threw a stone which Coleman escaped by dodging. This made the colored man's blood boil and he "fired" a stone at the constable, who too evaded the fly- ing weapon. Tho constable then tired a revolver an I shot Coleman in his loft leg hlf way between tho kneoandhip. The ball penetrated the thick flesh in front and lo ld just inside the slua behind. After being brought to jail, Dr. U. K. llasMinger remove.l the ball. Dur ing the operation Coleiuau remarked that this was not tho first time he had been shot. Coleman is a well built man with 1G lbs. avoirdupois, lie was born Julr.4. imi.Y ll iM anxious to employ a lawyer and has written ootn to Iqs lather and moth er for $15 from fetch. U seems l e can not write sad Dr. Hnssiuger wroto me letter Tor linn. Uolemnn is very kind to Miss Street and of fered to pay for a telegram if she wanted to telegraph to her friends to come to bail her out of jail. Teacher's Normal. MlDDI.Kmiiiiil.

So far three or four uamos of prom inent republicans have been pretty actively canvassed for this honor there is monetary glory in it but somehow thero seems to be a state of restlessnoss current amid tin party ranks a little difficult to ex plain when this question comes up. Jleu discuss it quite ovasivelv und cursorily nnd then wink the t'orli, r eye and walk away. What does it all mean? Are our Uopublican candidates too suspicious of om an. other, too grateful to openly o;i. , their honorable contostees or mc they fearful of gottiug lickod iu the fight, or do they smell a, mice i i the district convention f Who was it that said something about a "dark horse'' being groomed for this race ?
