The warm weather has canscd the re- appearance of those creatures which dis- appear at the approach of winter and re- turn with spring. Robins, bluebirds, elc.. have made their appearance quite a while before this, and now the raucy “pewee,” “that harbinger of the caudal end of the sugar season, is chirping about in a sprightly manner, while the green-uniformed musicians of the pools and swamrs are ‘‘getling there” lively. H. 8. Nicholson was in this section in the interest of the Commercial, several days:iast week. He reports very favor: able prospects for the paper he represents. The public sales of Gen, W. Shaw, on the 20th ult., and Samuel Baker, on the 81st nlt., were well attended, and in gen- eral, fair prices were realized. Jos. Blocker. who intends to work and also reside in Hyndman, Pa., had publie sale on the 80th ult. - Miss Lillie Kurtz intends to purchase her stock of millinery goods for this sea- son. The removals and changes of residence in and about town are as follows: John W. Folk from present residence, about a mile and a half north of town, to Miss Margaret Brown’s residence, on Pennsvl: vania Avenue, this city. Geo. Stahl from rooms in honse now owned by J. E. Gnagey into Mr. Stanton’s house in our eastern snburb, Little Crossings. Jos, house, east of postoffice, until he can secure a house in Hyndman. Samuel Baker moves into Squire E. B. Fuller’s house, west of town, and Ger W. Shaw on Mr. Baker's farm, which he has pur- chased. As nearly evervthing else which indi- cated and caused unfavorable prospects in the sugar crop has been attributed to that maeh and wrongly abused bounty on sugar, probably the followers of the ‘man of destiny,” and of the rampant enemy of American industries from the state wherein thriveth the prodigiously- horned, cadaverous bovine, will also at- tribute the apparent shortage of this sea- song’ crop of maple sugar to the same cause. Pleasant Union. Miss Eve Baker, who is visiling at the residence of Mr.. Nathaniel Bittner, is quite ill. Mrs. Cal Baker, of Hyndman, was vis- iting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Martz, last week. The protracted meeting, which was held in Fink’s church, continaned two weeks, during which time ten persons were con- verted. Mr. John Emerich, of Kennels Mill, is very much interested in some of our people, especially the young ladies. Well. John is a good fellow and we are always glad to see him. Miss Missouri Baker, who has ‘been a victim of 1a grippe for the past few weeks, is recovering. March 31st, 1892. HOOSIER. Has Been a Newspaper Reader For Sixty Years and Says “The Star’ is the New- siest Paper in the County. GLENCOE, PA., March 80th, 1892. Mr. P. L. LiveNcoon:—Enclosed find my check, through my friend I. D. Ley- dig, for $1.50, For same please send me your paper for one year. AHow me to say this as a stranger to yon, but a friend: I am 75 years old to- day, and as good a republican as you can find in this country. I have been a news- paper reader for 60 years, and I have found no other paper in tke county as newsy as yours. May you prosper, and I hope the people of this county will not forget to subscribe for your paper, which should be on every table in the country. Let me say in conclusion; had we a man like you in Southampton township, I have no doubt that soon our coal and iron ore would not lie dormant as it dees. Neither would the silver mine which was discovered in Northampton township. The silver mine is no farce, but parties from the east have offered three times more for the land than the owner had asked for it 830 days ago, which means something. Very truly yours, > GEo. MARTZ, SR. We can assure our aged correspondent that we appreciate his kind words of good cheer. A man who has been a newspaper reader for 60 years ought to be a good judge of a newspaper and we are more than pleased with his opinion of TaeE 8TAR. And judging from the way Tne STAR'S circulation is increasing from week to week, there are doubtless many other people who have the same opinion of it that Mr. Mariz has. Tar STAR feels much encouraged and will strive hard toimprove with age. It wants all its friends to double their efforts to increase its circulation still more. Near- t | ly every subscriber can get some one else to subscribe, and if that is done it will give THE STAR by far the largest circula- tion in the county, all of which we will try to merit.

Whiskers on the Presidents, Whiskers have never been dreamed of as a factor in the history of a nation. And vet the administration of President Lincoln marked an epoch in the history of his country which, while in itself of no great national momen*, is none the less interesting from a historical point of view. The administration of ‘Old Abe” not only witnessed the emancipation of a race, but apparently instituted an anwrit- ten law compelling all Presidents of the United States to cultivate a hirsute growth in marked contrast with the smoothly shaven faces of their predecessors, It is an interesting fact that President Van Buren was the only President previous to Lincoln who wore hair on his face, and Andrew Johnson was the only President after Lincoln who had a smooth face. These are the only exceptions to an oth- erwise general rule. Since the Rebellion beards have pre- dominated. They adorned the faces of Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Gar- field and Harrison. The element of whiskers, pure and simple, was repre- sented by President Arthur, while Cleve- land enjoys the distinction of being the only President who wore a mustache without beard or whiskers. Upon taking a summary the following ratio appears: Fifteen Presidents wore smooth faces, four wore beard and mus- tache, two wore side whiskers, one wore beard and side growth, and one wore mustache alone.—Philadelphia Record. An Editor Pro Tem. A drammer for a certain paper mill met a sentimental young woman ona Grand Trunk train going up to Port Ha- ron, and it was not long before his mod- est diffidence so impressed her that she let him sit beside her and divide the charm: ing landscape with her through the same window. After a delightful talk of half an hour he began to refer to himzelf and labor. “What business are you in?” she in- quired naively. ““The newspaper business,” he said. “Oh.” she twittered, how lovely it must be to be an editor. So much intel ligenceis required. . Such intellect. Such a comprehensive breadth of knowledge. So much of all that develops a man’s brain and makes him equally a scientist, teacher, poet, artist, politician and states- man. Iam sure”—and, oh, how softly sweet her eyes turned upon him—*I am sure I could loye an editor.” Then the modest, difident drummer kicked his sample case under his seat*and dido’t tell her uny betier.—Detroit Free Press.
