The people of the county have for some time past almost lost s'glit of the fact that there are two convicted and unhiiDg murdercas in the coun ty jail, a hose sentences and execution has been de layed and an enormous bill ot costs piled up for the tax-payers to foot, in un in warren teed at tempt ujon the flimsiest pretense to secure a re trial ot their cases. Juggling with the law's pro cesses to secure delays ami post poncments has be come a common paretice among attorneys, even of good repute, and it is a most pernicious one In a great many instances it necessitates perjury on the part of the condemned as was illustrated in the case of (lerhardt who set up a false plea that one of the jurors was prejudiced agaiust him, ami when it came to an investigation, it was not sustained, the inurdererprejurer having to 'idniit that his accusation was false. But it accomplished its purpise and gave his attorneys time to hatch up some other trick to try to cheat the gallows. The law guarantees to every man charged with the crime of murder a fair and impartial trial, which both (Jerhardt and Gulick hid. If there lathe slightest doubt of the guilty of either of them, they should have the benefit of the doubi. . In neither case is there an extenuating circumstances. They are both redhauded mud erersnd justice demands that they pay the pen alty. As we have often stated before, . there have been almost a hundred killiu's in this coun ty within the past sixteen veal's and one--hanging, and it is worthy if note that we lfve not had a murder since the term of court at which Gerhardt ' and Gulick -were convicted. Fonr months in Northumberland county without a killin' is a record breaker. It points out the moral. When the murder element understand that killing means hanging there will be. very few killings. Milton Stantltml According to the recent bulletins issued by the Government on the manufacturers of Penn sylvania, we learn that there are in rouDd num bers 52,000 manufacturing and mechanical estab lishments in our grand old Commonwealth, for grand and great it is. Tluvss manufacturing establishments represent an in vestment of $ 1 ,500, 000,000. The value of the products is $2,000, o00,000 annually, and they pay out to 733,000 men and women $332,000,000 every year in wages. The absolute increase in the value of our products during the past decade was $500, 000.000, a larger amount than was shown by any other State of the United States. Mark Twain will not lo taken seriously and the institution which confered the degreeof Doctor of Laws upon him will not be taken seriously either. Twain's mission in life has been to make people laugh and the man who scatters sunshine in the world is wortli a heap more than the long faced individual who goes through life the im personation of misery. 3?3 aV.-HA Keep THE ENGLISH ORPINGTON. An Eaeelleat Breed of Large, Low. Set and Heavy Fowls, Very Top ; alar Across the Water. The Orpington is an English bred iowl which is gaining a fair foot bold in this country. They are bred to several colors with both single and rose or double combi. So far, the black and buff-colored Orping tons with single combs hare been in favor with the people of this coun try. An Orpington club has been formed in their interest, and we may expect to see them gain in favor, as they are quite desirable as table poultry. Having come from the union of Minorca, a black sport from Plym outh Kocks nnd lilnck I.nngshaa blood, they are rather largo, low set and heavy in body inclined to be come fat when fully fed. They are good ep? producers, but their eggs Gladness is health-giving. It pro longs life. We all know the good of cheerfulness in the sickroom. It is Cheerful. . t M m()ch neej. ' ed in evervday life. It adds zest to our work. Whistling or Hinging at one's task makes time pass more swiftly and less tediously. Work cheerfully done is better done. One puts something of one's personality in one's work. If we have troubles to bear, so do all others. Do not add to the burdens of others by going about with a gloomy face and pres ence. Think of the cheerful things. Do not repine at failure. What seems such may not be so. Out of failure one may reap riches of character, says the Milwaukee Journal. There is no failure so great as failure of spirit and heart in life. If we are sincere, if our work is real, no mis fortune, no lack of appreciation, no malice can ruin us. With truthful ness and earnest endeavor in us we can face the world with a smile on the lip nnd gladness of heart shining in our eyes. Then whatever comes to us in life, let us seek the gladness of it. There is always a bright side. JaA us Tutike the best of all. If we give each day all of cheerfulness that we can, life will be full of blessings. It is a glorious thing to carry a fund of gladness as we go on through life. Her Flnlati.

Formerly the shape of the Orpin pton, as preferred in England, was much like that of the Dorking, ut in a recent letter from Mr. Lewis Wright, ot England, he states that the proper form is such as we have illustrated in this paper, and the Jong body like that of the Dorking ii discouraged by English experts. The proper type for the Orpington is a broad and massive body on short legs. They should have close and not loose or fluffy plumage. They should have a white skin and of the type that produces Huff Plymouth Rocks. Buft Orpington and Huff Wyan-dott'-s all from the tame stock, tiiouid be driven out. K we are to have Orpingtons in this country they ahould be constrained within the bounds of good Orpington shape and not allowed to drift along from the ahape of a Dorking to the Cochin hape, jut as they may come. As stated alve, the proper Or piegton i)i ape is shown by the illus tration as we prerent St from the English artist. Mr. Ludlow. The fe male is shaped something like a lira ma without cushion or fluff, the male something like a low set, full-breasted Cochin with close plumage. Coun try teut!eiuan. All Til ere Were.
