Prince Henry the past fovr days has
been enjoying the hospitality of the
west. It is a continual swirl of great
demonstrations and gorgeous banquets,
until the poor man has showu sigus of
fatigue too much of the good thing.
No wonder if he gets a swelled head
upon his departure.
It Is rumored that free mall deiiyery
will be Introduced in Lewisburg within
the next six months. This will be
balled with delight by the patrons of
the local post-office, as the congested
condition of the place during disturb
ing hours, especially In the evening,
causes considerable inconvenience.
Quite a number of Inquiries came
from different parts of Suyder county
during the past week for booklet on our
ad writing course. The methods taught
In this course are approved by John
Wanamakcr and other large adver
tisers. School teachers, clerks and
other bright young men and women
should ask for booklet
Any one who has a spoonful of good
brains and an ounce of common sense
can master the problems of. ad writing.
An ad ou the lust page of the Ladies'
Home Journal costs o000 for a single
issue. An advertiser who pays such
a large price for space would not hesi
tate to . pay $.")00 to $000 for the right
kind of au ad to fill such valuable
space. Those who wish to learn ad
writing should address the Post.
City papers state that Miss Mamie
Johnson, of near Blxler post-ofllce,
was found early Sunday morning wan
dering iu u demented condition in the
vicinity of Market and Juniper streets,
Philadelphia.. Miss Johnston is the
young school teacher who u u fml
and gagged In the Liberty Wu.iy
school house some months ago. The
whole affair was suspicious. Her con
dition Is the outgro wth, it is asserted,
of unrequited love.
Orders have been posted at different
fkints along the New York division of
the Pennsylvania Railroad prohibiting
employes from frequenting, saloons
whether on or off duty. Another order
issued prohibits smoking cars or cigar
ettes, or chewing tobacco while on
duty, and a number of passenger train
men who have neglected to obey this
order were suspended for a short time
and warned not to repeat the offense.
It is understood now that similar ord
ers will be posted on all divisions of the
Pennsylvania system east and west of
Pittsburg.
Blair county puts the names of pro
minent candidates for Governor on the
primary ticket and gives the voters an
opportunity to express their preference.
The delegates to the State Convention
thus get the wishes ot the majority of
the voters of the party and are in hon
or bound to vote In the convention as
thus directed. Why should not all
counties adopt the same rule, thus al
lowing the people to choose the candi
date. With such action there would
be no excuse for any Republican who
believes in majority rule, failing to
support tho ticket.
'Teople frequently change their resi

of them forget to pay their subscription

If people understand themselves that

1 Way Easter it "Movable."

it shines directly upon the Equator,

The time of the Jewish passover, and
hence of our Easter, depends on this
date. This latter always comes on Sun
day following tly first full moon after
the sun crosses the Hue. This accounts
for its J being so "movable" a feast.

Letter to A. ft. Shambach,
y MlDDLUBUROH, PAr -'
Dear Sir: You buyybur horseshoes
and nails; your grand-father, if he was
a blacksmith, made 'em. You can't
afford to hammer them out by hand,
when you can buy as good, or better
perh ips, readymade to your hand, for
a little more than the cost of the Iron.
What do you think of a painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white-
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work that is
fur better-done than he can do ic, done
by machinery, done ns your horseshoes
aim nans are raaae.
Mistake isn't it?
r He is wasting his chance in the
world. There Is no better stuff to do
busiiusH with than good horseshoes
ami puint; and no better work than
putting themou. Good horseshoes well
put on: It's the putting 'em on that
mnl-s you a blacksmith: no matter who
makes 'em. Who wants to go back to
old times, and make his own horse
shoes ?
Between us two, Unit painter don't
know bow to make good paint he us
ed t ; liut paint has run away from
him. Yours truly,

N Inch Snow $i Years Ago.
We have boon reminded by Win.
Ilasslnger of Franklin township that
in the Post of March 17, 1S7C, the fol
lowing item was published :
"Sxow. Tuesday night we were
visited by a regular old-fashioned snow
storm which busted until yesterday
noon, when the snow was about 18
inches deeo on the level. We learn
that some of the crossroads in this vic
inity are drifted very much and almost
impassable."
Last week's snow was 13 to 20 Inches
deep.
A Month Without A Full Moon.
The month, of February, 1SG6, was
the most remarkuble month in the
world's history. Janruary had two full
moon, and so had March, but February
had none. This had not occurred since
the creation of the world and, accord
ing to some astronomers the same thing
may not occur again for a period of .
600,000,000 years-
