The widely published report that the Suubury and Soliusgrovo Elec trio Railway was in .course of con struction is a fake.

The lowest stago of wator in tho Susquehanna River said to bo on record was in 1S03. This record is taken from a mark of that dato iu tho vicinity of Hirrisburg. Tho prosont stago of tho river is within an inch of that mark, and with four piers in closo proximity to tho poiut fixed tho record, which naturally dams up the water, it is safe to presume that tho river is as low as thou. The Irene Taylor Dramatic Com. pany of Buffalo, N. Y. played all last week at Solinsgrovo to largo houses every night. The Company is tho Btrongost that has boon in this coun ty for years.

Tho following marriage li censes have been granted siuco our last publication : JChas. W. Walter, Union county, NoraBaily, Monroo Twp. Mrs. Mary Ann Bailey has dispos ed of her farm in Washington town ship, to Jonathan Grubb, Centre township, for 2,300. Tho an nouncement in this paper last week that tho farm was sold to John Bailey, was correct at that time Courier. The Richmond Recorder says : "It is curious how much faster a street car humpB along wheu you are running after it than when you are riding on it." It is also curious how much faster the "Atlanta Spec ial1' actually moves than it appears to ono riding on it, to do ; but the explanation is plain tho Seaboard Air Line road-bed is so perfect that trains move over it at a speed of GO miles an hour without jolt or jar. The "Atlanta Special" is tho Sea board Air Line's Yestibuled Limit ed Train, operated solid between Washington, D. C. and Atlanta, Oa., via Eredericksburg, Richmond, and Petersburg, Va., and Raleigh, N. C. John Romig, Sr., another of Penn Township's oldust citizens, diod on Sunday morning, after a con lino men t to his bud for a period of thret1 years.

Three children survive liim, John, Henry aud Isaac ; a daughter inter married with Thomas Ivnutz having diud a number of years ago. ifn is a brother of Andrew Romig, who re sides near Sdioch's Mill. Mr. Romig was a kind and affable gt iitlemati and spent his declining years iu leisure and lUhing, one of his favorite ways of passing time. Tho fuueral took placo from his late rusiilcuco on eilnesday morning ut nine o'clock w hen a largo number of his many friends paid their lust tribute of respect to his memory. The Teacher' Institute Proceedings. Tho full proceedings of the 38th annual session of the Snyder County Teachers' Institute will be publishod in pamphlet form. The Instituto opous December 2ud 1805 nnd con tinues during the weok. Thero will bo an edition of 500 and it will cir culate among tho toachers and di rectors of Snyder county and elso whero. The book will contain about 40 pages. A limited number of pagos will be renervod for advertise ments. Tho publication of tho second vol ume will bo undertaken, not becauso wo met with the proper encourago ment hut year, but with the hopo of getting it this year. Tho under taking was a now ouo for this coun ty, but it is what other counties in this state have dono for many years past. In ordor to iustituto a pro gressive movement it was necessary for us to tnako considerable of a sac ritico of time and money and yet wo learn from a list of last yoar's teach -crs that 34 of them failed to sup port tho movement. In ono district that employs six teachers only ono paid for a copy of tho proceedings and that teacher was a lady. Tho lady teachers supported the move ment of progrossiveness more freely than the raalo toachers, only ono being a delinquent. The movement, of course, was a new one and it al ways takes tiuio to institute new movements ana it is wan tins Ma aud tho oucouragomont of tho ma jority of teachers that wo again un dertake this task. Wo aro glad to anuouncoto the diroctors nnd pi- t'ns that most of tho teachers sup ' u the firs'; volume and we trust fvm,,tyfcr, Vi:ra,; will this, far oin hands b .ryiwasibto encouragomsnt to the preservation of tho records. The names of the teachers nnd the diroctors and the full proceedings will bo publishod in this book. The rico for each teacher will bo very easonablo. Wo trust that tho eu- tire teaching force will support this progressive movement. Ha Won't NooJ an Overcoat. e Ircqilent I.V receive liolieo 1 rum tho post masters of different towns saying "your paper addressed to ho and so is not taken out, but remains dead at this office" giving us a reason "refused" or "moved away from here." This is about the meanest way for a subscriber to beat tho publisher out of the price of sub Bcnptiou, uiul tin ro is not one case iu a hundred iu which ho does not a . i t t I owo irom ono to two years in mo loast. Wo don't know of any treat ment that would do justice to n man of this typo. However, wo havo ouo consolation iu tho fact that when ho dies well, ho won't need to tako an overcoat with him any way.

Tho live stock was saved, but all his hay, fodder, straw and the last ycur's crop of grain in granary wero tot il ly destroyed. Tho bam was located just nt tho edge, south-east of town and was a heavy framo structure. It was claimed to bo tho best iu the township, 40x70 foot aud 10 foot abovo foundation, und well nigh fillod mows and tho dry weather mado it all tho worse for a general conflagration. The cry of lire, tho rinirinir of church bells soon collected a groat crowd, a goodly number armed with buckets did good work and prevent ed a Kcucrul conllu-'rution. Tin. barn was beyond saviug at Jio hands of tho bucket brigade, but by directing their solo attention to 'Squiro Shinkel's stable and Mr. Fesslor's pig ntublo and corn house, aud saviug them, in tho face of in tense scorching heat, they saved them and prevented a spread of the llamos, savo tho wugon shed east of tho burn. This could not be saved on account of tho intense heat and was totally destroyed together with a new hay rako and a few farm im plements It looked at ono time us if tho eastern part of tho town would bo destroyed, but happily thoro was not much air stirring, otherwise ft far different story would bo ours to report. How tho lire originated is not known. The tiro started in tho mow whero tho corn foddor was sot iu duriug thu weok a fr Arj jpryious to the tire. Mr. . " .. $2000, witn nibo, .. " the Phoenix Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn. Always tako a bucket with you whon you go to a lire, should bo your first thought. All the surround ing community and even many from tho neighboring towns wero repre sented at the tiro, and did good ser vice. The bucket brigade is a grand body to depend on, and till seemed willing, yea more than willing, ns all good peoplo aro to save and protect home and fireside. But their work wus specially favored by providence, thero was scarcely any uir stirring, and tho liro occurred curly iu the evening about dusk, when every body was up and astir, but this may not always bo tho case. Should a tiro break out on a stormy night the greater part of our town would be swept away. This should admonish us that we ought to provide some thing hotter and moro effective for fighting and quelling tho tire demon than ('imply the bucket. It' nothing better, let us provide ourselves with hooks uiul l.iililers. . . . "She Do Not Even Hesitate." ( llAI.EHill PllESS-YlSITOlt.)
