The last to obey the summons was Joseph Hunter, whose illness was not ed iu these columns. He began to de cline several months ago, hut il was not until about the first of May that he was obliged tot ike his bed. The end came Sunday morning at 2.30 o'clock. Joseph Hunter was horn iu Montour county (then Columbia) November 15, 1823, being the fourth in a family of ten chidreu. When the deceased was six years of age his patents removed to Milton. Here he received his edu cation and served an apprenticeship at shot-making. In 1844 he came to Dan ville and engaged in the manufacture of boots aud shoes until 1851. when he accepted the position as collector of toll at the river bridge, a post In* oc cupied until the bridge was made free nearly fifty years later. The deceased was twice married, his first wife being Mahetabel A Campbell. The children of this mar riage who survive are Henrietta M , !of this city; Joseph C., of Philadel pliia, aud James K., of Montana Mrs. Huuter died in 1850 aud in 1861 the deceased married Miss Elizabeth H , daughter of John W. Miles, who survives her husband. Mr. Hunter served six terms a* Chief Burgess of Danville, being first elect ed iu 187Sfc He was a member of the First Baptist church of thiseity, join, ing it in 1845. He belonged both to Danville Lodge, No. 224, F. & A. M , and to Danville Lodge,7Bo,l. O. O. F. FIRM FOUNDATION. Nothing Oat) Undermine it in Danville.

The experience of hundreds of Danville residents, expressed public ly through newspapers and other sour ces, places Doan's Kidney Pills on a firm foundation here. Mr. Josiah Williams barber, of 30 Ash street, says:—l did not have to use a whole box of Doan's Kidney Pills be fore they cured my back of depressing aching, aud removed the lameness which made every move painful. The lameness centered right over my kid rieys, and stooping or lifting sent a sharp twinge through nie. When on my feet a dull gnawing pain took all the vlni out of me. I gave some to Mr. H. C.

The gratification ot a husband's idle curiosity in recciviugand opening his wife's letters against her protest, will no longer be afforded This is the command which has gone out from the Post Office Department. As a result of repeated requests by postmasters throughout the country for a ruling in the matter, this action has been taken. The ruling is follows : "A hus band has no to receive the mail addressed to his wife against her wishes." AM to mail addressed to the children, the father has the prior to re ceive it unless there be some particu lar circumstances in the case which the department take into eon sideration on a statement of the facts heiug presented."

The street in question along with the roadway between the railroad cross ing and the river bridge has always proven a tough proposition lot the Supervisors of Gearhart township. No matter how much work was put upon these two thoroughfares owing to tho heavv hauling, they were al ways badly cut up in wot weather, while in dry weather the mud gave way to dust several inches deep, which was taken up by the wind anil driven in every direction. The Pennsylvania railroad company has now come to the assistance of the township and will contribute to such repairs as will stand the test ot time and travel. The township is asked to give the road a good coat of cinder or of some other hard material as a basis for a good coat of limestone screen ings which the railroad company will supply. The Pennsylvania people have backed up their proposition with four car loads ot limestone spalls, which have arrived at the station. The township, it is said, has not as vet decided whether to use cinder for the bottom layer or shelly rock from Blue Hill or Kliuesgrove. Woik will begin on the repairs in a short time. The limestone covering furnished by the railroad company is the only suit able material for a road of that kind. The ashes or tine cinder used as a cov ering 011 the road, recently repaired between the bridge and the crossing in South Danville is a demonstrated failure. The ashes or cinder in a short time worked into a fine dust, which left the large chunks of cinder under neath exposed and makes the drive about as rough as any to be found. His Last Hope Realized.

During his traveling about and afterwards bis camping upon his claim, In encountered much bad water which, together with the severe heat gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check and along iu June the case became so bad he expected to die. < hie day uiie of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic*, Cholera and Diarrhoea Renie.lv as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about, on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the d<>*- was repeated The good effects of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first, sound .sleep for a fortnight..

The long drought in this locality was broken Sunday by the heaviest rain that has fallen since last winter. It began about 1 o'clock Sunday morn ing and continued at intervals until daylight, from that hour on growing heavier until 10 o'clock when it ap pioachcil a downpour, which did not abate until tin? hour of noon. I'he rain came as a great surprise, for the weather foreeaste, while if predicted "probable showers," had nothing to say concerning a settled rain covering a wide area snch a- this seemed to he. As one beheld the Hood ed streets and overtaxed spouting dis charging their heavy streams, it was hard to realize the sudden change from the drought conditions which existed up to the day before. During afternoon the weather was most enjoyable. The atmosphere, which up to the begin ning of the rain was burdened with dust and smoke, was purified and so clear that remote objects seemed near and one's vision extended for miles. The parched earth was refreshed, the grass and leaves took on a deeper green and all nature seemed rejoicing. The rain, which no doubt covered a wide area, was of incalculable value to the farmers. It is not too late to help the hay crop, especially timothy. The corn, oats and potatoes will he benefitted the most. The rain is in time also to help the fruit and berries. Kase Loses Suit.

People Who Can't Sleep. Many people go t<> bt-d—not to sleep, but t<> think to tumble and toss—to get up. walk about until tired Nature gives) way and a few fitful hours of sleep are obtained just before dawn — a sleep that does not rest—a sleep from which one wakes weary and tired, wholly unfitted to take up the daily routine of household, shops or otlice duties. That this condition goes un cared for is almost criminal, when the well-known, time-tried and tested pow ers of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Fills to give restfnl natural sleep have been so fully proven in such cases Mr. H. C. St.oes of No. -17 E. Mahon ing'St..
