An exchange says that every news
paper in the State should publish
the fact that burnt corn is a sure
cure for hog cholera. It was dis

corn belonging to the distillery. It

them. Before that a number of them
had been dying each day but the dis
eased m mediately disappeared. It
is so simple a remedy that it can be
easily tried, and if it is found effica-
ious should be generally used as a
preventative.

There is some talk of removing
the Central Pennsylvania College
from New Berlin. New Berlin is
a very pretty place for a college, but
is so far from a railroad that the
college authorities feel that it would
lie licttcr for the institution if it
were nearer to a railroad. Altoona
has made a bid for the institution
A very large place would be objec
tionable for an institution on account
of'the many things in a city that
would attract young men from their

ideal place for an institution of this
character and the board of tram
should U'stir themselves and endea
vor to secure the institution.
