Wednesday night last
found us at our desk ready for bus

were rudely constructed and put in
to position as a make shift were dis
placed by neat and comfortable ones,

writer haa a aeat along the centre

vigorously and will likely continue
to ventilate their spleen all during
the session. Resident olerk Fetter
olf had a big job oa hand to aatisfy
every oae, yet it ia hinted thst there
waa a great deal of favoritism shown
in the assignment of seats. Tall
farmer Piollet of Bradford Co. offer
ed a resolution to assign the seata
as near as possible in the same or
der as they were given out in the
old house. His reaolution was de
feated but that did not prevent him
frout carrying his demands to resi
deat clerk, and judging from the
aeat he occupied the next day, the
clerk thought it advisable to accede
to his wishes since instead of having
a aeat in the rear of the room he oc
cupies a chair pretty well in the
front. OapU Beotly of Erie Co. is

Last week Miss Annie Snyder,
daughter of J. G. Snyder of Beaver
town, went to Sunbury and selected
au elegant piano fromC. O.Seebold's
complete stock. 'The instrument
was delivered on Saturday to the
great satisfaction of all parties concerned.
Wm. Gilbert, the honest war vet
eran of Kreamer, Pa., was in town
Monday and paid up all his arrear
ages to the Pobt and 13 months in
advance. Mr. Gilbert is the con
stable of Middlecreek township and
has served in that capacity for 30
years.
It is said that a woman in thi s
place engaged a tramp to saw some
wood and went in the house. She
came out to look after the wander
ing hobo in a few moments and
found him gone and the following
note on the wood pile : "Just tell
them that you saw me, but you didn't
see me saw." -
The Eagle Hotel in Swineford has
again changed hands. Wm. S. Ar
begaat of Mifflintown has bought
the property. Mr. Arbogast as a
hotel man has a good record and
at one time was proprietor of the
National Hotel at Selinsgrove.
Carbon Seebold will take charge of
the Washington House again.
Wm. Lose of idama township is
the boss butcher of the oonnty. In
63 daya he killed and dressed 296
hoga and 87 beevea. The heaviest
average in one day was 4 hogs for
Charlea Boyer making a total weight
of 2111 lbs. This is an immense
record and we think it is hard to
beat. Above all it would indicate
that Mr. Lose understands hia busi
ness. Mr. S. E. Benner, of New Berlin,
for many years one of the most suc
cessful auctioneers in Union county.
ia now ready to close dates for
anrinst sales. Mr. Banner ia thor
oogbiy familiar with every phase of
farm Hfi. and particularly well in

etock, and in consequence, ia an

seat having the same number in the
old house, pulled off the name of the

, The work done during the week,
while it does not amount to very
much, yet it opened the way for
earnest, unremitting toil during
next week. The committees were
busy considering bills, a great many
being reported and the calendar is
now in shape to grind out laws ev
ery day.
Up to this time, but four bills
passed the house finally, which is
not much of a record so far as law
making is concerned for the time
we have already spent, but those
who think the people would be bet
ter off without enacting any more
will find something gratifying in the
faot that so little has been done in
this respect.
The bills passed are of no particu
lar importance. The only one under
consideration, that may be of inter
est to the people of the eounty, is a
bill to prevent tax collectors to sue
ceed tnemseives. inis bill is on
third reading, having been postpon
ed for the purpoae of amendment.
It ia argued by those who favor the
bill that the tax collectors in many
places fail to put forth the proper
effort to gather in the aheokels,
adopting a lenient rolicy in order
to hold the boys when the time
comes for re-eleotion. That may be
trus in some cases, yet there are
cases too where a collector becomes
more useful after several yeara of
experience. The office ia not much
ought for in this county, ao it will
not make much difference whether
the bill passes or not.
T BUaptria she BUkt.
The agitation in reference to the
apportionment of the atate haa not
yet become very pronounced. It ia
rat jer singular that the anti-Quay
ahouters have not begun to cry con
stitution long ere this. It ia poa
sible that we will escape this bien
nial outburst of constitutional pre
rogatives. True, bills are in readi
ness but no one haa been active in
their lehalf. It will be impossible
to adiit distrusts that will not bo
objectionable to a number of people
earned, and a yery email kick
knoekaan apportionment bill out
Senatorially, we are tied to Union,
Centre, and Clinton. Centre coun
ty has too many statesmen to make
the district acceptable to the few in
Snyder.
True it might be regarded an hon
or to be united with the great coun
ty of Governors, but we are satisfied
that the Governor business will stop
so far as Centre county is concerned
and all its statesmen may want to
become State Senators hereafter.
At least we are not for that arrange
ment, constitutional requirement or
otherwise.
TtlBf U b Wd OnpaUary.
A bill was recently introduced
making voting compulsory. The act
requires every qualified voter to
cast a ballot at each and every elec
tion. Judges of elections must pre
pare lists of all voters who have fail
ed to vote, such list to be lodged
with the dork of the courts. Per
sons failing to vote must show
cause why a hue should not bo im
posed, sickness or absence from the
precinct in which the election is
held is a valid excutte for not votintr,
The fine is fixed at $5 and costs and
are to go to the pgblio school fund.
Every citizen should take enough
interest in the management of pub-
lio affairs to participate in all elec
tions which determine thn policy of
such management. I do not see how
compulsory voting could much im
prove the machinery of government.

Senator C. C. Kauffman of Lan
caster is the kind of man that should
be sent to legislative assembles. In
an interview he said : "My votes in
the past in the legislature show that
I did not vote for or against a bill to
please any faction. My existence
does not depend on my return to
the atate senate, as I have plenty of
other and more agreeable employ
ment. If it is necessary for me, in
order to retain my aeat in that body,
to vote aa some man or set of men
dictate, I prefer to retire to private
life. I really want to own myself
and my vote as long aa I am in the
state senate".
