'Philadelphia, Nov. 8th, 1SU7.
A few rambling observations
trooi the City of Brotherly Love
iimyr interest the rcadcis of the
Pos Philadelphia is pretty well
knoVp) by the jieople of Snyder
eouiiv and to gleam nnything new
is noj an easy task, but where in
terests are so varied and character
so different there is ample opjor-
tunity for' seeing something that
will at least interest some of our
readers. This city has its itcculiar-
ities. It is a gre-.it Republican city,
but that does not free it from the
snares of .corruption and extrav
agence' with public fluids.. Political
jobs and public plunder are a men
ace to universal good. A man who
votes for the ruling faction of the
dominant' party need not fear of k
ing punislied for any violation of
the law less than murder. This of
eonrse is a deplorable state of af
fairs and reform is certainly needed.
Having come to this place for
sjK-eial treatment for my right eye
whoso vision last August was al
most totally obstructed. The treat
ment is iider the direction of Dr.
Ia Webster Fox, a representative of
Medico Chirurgical College, the
Alma Mater of Dr. Herman of
our town. Dr. Fox was a country
Uy having sjient his youth about
the hills of Hummclstown, Dauphin
county and later was a student at
Mil'lersville Normal School witl
our legal and cultured friend At
torney Weiser of Middlcburgh. It
. i i i .
uikcs country oovs to Him-cU in
this world. Dr. Fox now stands at
the head of his profession in the
treatment ot the eye. I went v to
thirty jKitieuts call at his office
every day for advice and treatment
for their eyes. The Doctor is not a
politician, but he is an influential
character among them and he has
lecii invited to accompany United
States Senators Quay and Penrose
to Florda on their hunting trip.
Another evidence of his political
tact is the $120,000 appropriation
to Medico Chirurgical College and
hospital during the last session of
the legislature when a great de
mand was made for funds. The
institution, however, showed by au
thentic records that they cured lor
thousands of charity patients and
proved conclusively that they made
the proper use of the funds given
to them. In the treatment of the
eye of the writer the services of Dr.
G. G. Faught of North Broad street
are also required for the pur
post! of applying electricity to that
memlier. He is a lnichelor and has
a lucrative practice.
I was agreeably surprised the
other morning while eating my
breakfast at the hotel to be intro
duced to Colonel Charles Klcckner,
formerly of New Berlin. He is a
brother to the managers of the
Kleckner House at New Berlin and
is familiar with many people in
Snyder county. Since the war J
Col. Kleckner has resided in Phila
delphia and is now running a livery
stable. There are quite a number
of Snyder cotiutians in thi city.
Among them are D. Edward K rea
mer, a clerk m the Custom House,
who is niarriad to Kate Stetler ot
Middlcburgh ; Boyd Blin ker, a Se
linsgrove boy who is a druggist
here resides at 2110 North M st;
Mrs. J. Ward Diehl (nee Sadie Or
wig of Middlcburgh) resides at :W27
Orkney street. Her husband is
foreman of a Catholic printing
house ; Mr. E. (J. Murray, former
ly druggist nt Middlcburgh, resides
at 2801! Stella Ave. He is running
a drug store near his home; Win.
Mark and Charles 1 Iaflley, former
ly of Selinsgrove, are located here ;
A. A. Voder of Globe Mills is a
student at Medico Chi College ;
Harry A. Bibighuiis, the genial
salesman, resides tin Montgomery
Ave. He is married to Miss Sallio
Bibighuiis, formerly of Middle
burg; Beni. Shields and wife for
merly of Selinsgrove are residents
here.
Sunday we had the pleasure of
visiting the Episeopalean hospital
on Lehigh Ave. and Front Sts.
Miss Clara Neotling of Mifllinburir
is one of the Nurses at this institu
tion. She received us kindly and
escorted us through the entire hos
pital. With these few rambling
thoughts I must close.

Don't Want It to Happen Again.
An exchange tells the following
A lady died and while the pall
1 (carers were covering her to her
last resting place, by some mishap
they stumbled and dropped the
corpse. The txnicussinu brought
the deceased back to life, and she
lived six or seven years and died
' il . . i
Hgaiu. un me way to the grave
they Hissed over the same ground,
and when the pallbearers reached
the identical sjnit where the stumble
had been made nt the previous sad
service, the grict stricken husband
stopped in front of his lamented
wife and said : "Steady Istys,
steadv."
Must Eat all You Shoot.
Hunters will do well to liear in
mind that they art! not "jMt hunt
ers," and that they cannot disjiosc
of any surplus that they have.
Therefore when you shoot all your
family can consume ipiit. The
game season oftcned, as heretofore
stated, for all game except rabbits,
elk and deer. As many persons
Inltor under the mistaken impres
sion that they in sell game to the
consumers, it will Ik; well to dis
abuse them of that notion. No
game can be sold within the state
and no game taken out ot the state
under any pretext whatever.
Bullets for a Preacher.
When Rev. Gilliam, of the Chris
tian Church, preached a sermon at
Mintoiivillc, in which he affirmed
there is no devil, the congregation
took offense. When the preacher
attempted to speak again he was
ejected from the church, and about
twenty pistol shots were fired after
him.
This proves the fact that the
preacher was wrong for there were
deviU in the crowd to fire the
shots. i
Excitement at Adamsburg-
WhiloW. I. Keller, Clan nee
Kline(M'ter and Harry Dnrse were
out hunting rabbits hist Friday
evening, their dogs were chasing
something back of town which did
not seem to be a rabbit, the hunters
followed the dogs to the woods
where the dogs had traced the an
imal. As si Nin as the hunters came
to the place where the dogs were
liarking up the tree the hunters
soon saw a large animal on a trtr
and while the hunters were greatly
excited and shaking the tree the an
imal came down and the dogs jump
ed on the animal and killed it, when
Ix-hold they said it's a wild cat, and
Mr. Klinepcter patted his dog on
the head and said, "who says
that Jack don't chase wild eats."
The hunters felt gonl ou their vic
tory and Klinepcter tookv the wild
cat by the tail and the three started
for Adamsburg, where they exhibit
ed the animal in all the public
places of town and while showing it
in Klose Brothers' store and telline
the big time they had in killing it,
someone said, "I don't believe it is
a wild cat, it looks like one of our
town cats," nud others said, "it is
Win. Klose's cat." "Oh mo, it is a
wild cat," was the answer of tht
hunters. At this moment Mertie
Klone, daughter of Win. Klose,
came in the store and looked at the
animal and at once said, "v. hv this
is our cat," and Mr. Klose said,
" Vaw es is my olter kautei." The
cat weighed over 10 pounds and
measured ,'i feet from tip to tip and
was valued at 10.00. Vou never
saw such a set of disappointed huut
ters. They had already figured on
each man's share of the scalp
premium.
