Congress passed the new tariff billon Saturday afternoon and it was promptly signed by President McKinloy. The School Board his reconsider ed tne motion to locate the new school building on Sugar Street and they are again trying to get a ma jority for another location.

A cow broke into the cistern on tkf farm of Editor Schweier, of the Sen tinel, near Mifflintown, one day late ly. The cistern was 10 feet deep. containing about 10 feet of water.

Once a farmer had one thousand eight hundred bushels of wheat, Which he sold, not to one ainola grain merchant, but to one thousand eight Hundred different dealrs, a bushel to each. A few of them naid him in cash, but far the greater num ber said it was not convenient then. but would pay later. A few months passed, and the man's bank accouut ran low. "How is this?" he said. ' My one thousand eight hundred bushels of grain should have kent me in affluence until another croD is rais ed, but I have parted with the graiu and have instead only a vast number of accounts, so small and scattered that I cannot gut around and collect it fast enough to nav mv exnniineH So he posted up a public notice and asked all those who owed him to pay quickly. But few came. The rest said. 'iMine is only a small matter and I will go and nay one of those days," forgetting that though each account was very small, when all were put togother they meant a largo sum to the man. Things went on thus: the man got to feeling so bad) v and rolled and tossed about so much in his efforts to collect that be fell out of bed and awoke, and running to his granary found his one thousand eight hundred bushels of wheat still safe there. He had on v been dream ing, and hadn't sold his wheat at all Moral The next day the man went to the publisher of his paper, and said, Here, Bir is the pay for your paper, and when next rear's suh scripton is due you can depend upon me to pay it promptly. I stood in the position of an editor last night. and I know how it feels to have one's honestly earned money scattered all over the country in small amounts. ranklin (Ind.)Democrat.

If the friends of departed ones would send us a brief sketch with a euWv nf those they intend to praise it would be a big improvement over the stere otyped resolutions that are nearlv all worded the same. Won't our friends end sketches instead of resolutions? Sunday Campmeeting. It was indeed remarkable to nh. serve how many people on Sunday passed through here on their wr to colored campmeoting to soe a lot oi coiorea people hold mock services and putting to shame all tious efforts to serve a Deity. Lajr-' lessnoss reigned supreme. Fights and quarrels were the order of the day. Whiskey and beer seemed to be plenty. Some was taken tlmro by the visitors, but thore were too many people intoxicated to bolieve that stimulants were not on tan near the mock worshippers' tabor nacle. If tho rumor that 50 tn 7r, cases of beer wero sold on Sunday.is true, the matter should bo investigated. About 6 o'clock in tho oveuing a young man from Coutrevillo with his best girl came in from the canm ground as swiftly us lain horse could go. He turned rouud tho cornor at the Franklin Rollor Mills on two wheels of his buggy. While going ovor toward the centre of town his horse was going as fast as ho could, yet his drunken driver was whinp- ing his homo and yelling ut him. The young lady seoniod unconcern ed and seomod to enjoy tho spood at which they wero traveling. At tho bauk building tho horse turned to go up town, the driver observing this, pulled the horse toward the Centreville roud which gave Mm buggy a short turn and upset the vehicle landing the occupants in tho top. Tho horse stoppod immedi ately and was caught and hold. The occupants rolled out, the lady neither hurt nor frightened, driver had several cuts about face and head. The top was only thing that was broken about tho buggy. The fellow was very hilarious and wanted to light, when his horse was taken to a Btable, the drunken driver landed in jail aud his girl sent to the hotel. The horse, buggy and girl were sent home with friends on Sunday even ing yet and tho young fellow was kept with the sheriff until Monday morning, when he was sober, lm was allowed the pleasure of walkiug home aud ponder over his narrow escape. Such are some of the results of colored campmeeting. was The the the Rforued Be-Vnlon. The pastors and members of the Reformed church will hold a reunion at the Island Park, Tuesday August 5th. The members of that denomi nation of the entire central portion of Pennsylvania will assemble there at that time. Music will be furnish ed. Speakers will make adJrontma and every thiing will be done to af ford all a pleasant time. An effort will be made to have a special train on the S. and L. Division to bring the picnicers home. HERMAN MUST EXPLAIN. The Governor al ,,. , 1;.c. Hn (nuiiiilitoe Kerala,. t(,,.Jr Hl, About fifteen days ago tho gov eruor called upon quite a number of committees and others to explain their bills of expense. Last Thurs day he came nearer home and asked the elections' committoo to itemize their accounts. As Snyder county had a representative ou tho commit tee the taxpayers are ontitlod to tho facts. The J're-st of last Friday say 8 : "The Governor called upon Chair man I reiich, of the House Klocl ions Committee, to furnish Imu the names of tho counsel for Saunders ami nuuwriH, wno divided liho be twetyi tlieiu.

"The Sergeaut nt-arms for this same contest has a bill of $1935 34 A" explanation is nskod concerning this bill too." The Governor has asked Repre sontative Herman to explain his bill of $304.00 for ."car fare, carriage hire, telegrams, etc." Now then the people of Snyder county would liko to have an itemized statement of tho expenses. Tho Post will publish it free of charge if it is furnished to us. "W e will uIho publish an item ized statement of tho bill of $(571 ex penses incurred by tho funeral com mittoo of which Representative Herman was a member, if tho same is furnished to us. In fact tho peo pie ought to have a statement, oiii readers will consult the Post July 15, they will get particulars tho funeral committoo. Sonator Kauli'mau calls theso bills IIUhWKy Kobberlrn. He says : 'if"1?'0" ,ll)0,u harmony leads mo to think of the huriuonioiis raids made on tho Treasury by tho fake investigating committee. They are nothing less than highway robber ies. If the iteiuizod bills which the Governor demands aro ever furnish ed there will bo a turning on of tho light in another direction. Not ono of these committees mado un honest ellort to turn on f lm liirlit l,;,,, and impartially, or efluetively. lhese cominitteos' reports were prepared in accordance with the manifest will of the politician bosses and their original demands for over $150,000 compelled tho Appropria tion Committee to reduce tho ap propriations to charitable institu tions, aud these in,liwt.,,iw ,,,.. Buffering for tl 111 unfnrl.niiiif u li.t example, I had u visit yesterday from one of my constituents who lives at Marietta, who h'is u boy ut the deaf and diirnl inuUi.ii;,!., Mt. Airy. They notified him that owmg to the reduction of their ap propriation ho would h 4ua year, payaoio in advance, if desired them to retain his bov their institution. The mau has large family and ho cannot afford contribute the money, but before the child is forced out of the insti tution the money will bo raised by private contributions. "One of tho principal reasons that appropriations were reduced wero the outrageous demands made by these investigating committees. How must these men feel when they know the taking oi this money zeaus helping to drive the lame and halt, the deaf and dumb and tho blind out of our public institutions? "I know nothing in regard to the feeling in otW parts of the State, but if the members from ray county who are demanding their share of the nwair pvnr iiavo tha nnnvam . announce themselves as candidates ior re-elect ion they will find what. rkannlji f liinlr rt tempted hold up of the State Treas ury.
