OBB'3 OBSERVATIONS.
What Ilo Sep iiuil Hnnr During IHiTriiv-
i'M About Tmi ii
Keep every promise you mako, fulfill cvory
contract, and bo where you say you will bo
oxactly on time. This stamps you as a busi
ness man,
An Inmato who was released from Bloom
Ingdalo Asylumn last week by a jury ver
dict, notwithstanding flvo experts testified
that ho was Insane, went and got married on
Sunday ovening, and now each of those
experts and many marriod men smile and
say, ''I told you so I"
There nro a number of families In this
town who conceal a skeleton within their
household. Outsldo apponrancos, however,
present an entirely different aspect. I know
of ono case in particular, whero a young girl
left a pleasant liome, despite the threats mid
entreaties of her family, to becomo tho wife
of a fiend, who struts around our streets in
tho garb of a popular young man, traveling In
tho bast soolety, aud who is considered by his
male companions as "a good follow." This
man I know to havo abused his wife shame
fully, she whom ho has vowed to lovo aud
protect. There is no punishment too sovcro
for such a man, and no condition of life too
low. This wife, as In tho caso of 9coros of
others, heartsick with despair and filled with
contempt for tho man sho honored as hur
husband, would rathor suffer all his coldness,
Insults and physical violence, than complain
and disgrace tho children sho has borne him.
Ho couldn't make a speech,
Kor language he seemed to lack,
Until he chanced one night to step
On a little, sharp, sharp tack.
This Is tho season of tho year when Jus
tly Shoemaker's llfo is made a burden to
him. Sumo years ago Mr. Shoemaker was
tho owner of tho famous trotting stallion
"Princo John." There woro only llvo
stallions in tho United States at ono time
that had as good or a better record than
"Princo John," and consequently ho was in
great demand for breeding purposes. Ho had
a trotting record, in harnoss, of 2:20. There
aro many descendants from tho old trottor
in this and adjoining counties and tho owners
aro anxious to havo thorn entered in races
and for premiums at the coming Milton and
Bloomsburg races. Tho premium seekers
must furnish tho pedigrees of their horses,
aud as many of them havo not taken tho
earo in tUt) past to proservo the required
facts, thoy havo fallen back upon tho fertile
memory of Justlco Shoemaker for tho data,
and it is hero whero tho Justico finds his
burden. Ho has fully a dozon letters and his
courteous naturo will not glvo him ease until
ho answers all of them and places tho podigrco
of old "Prluco John" clearly aud minutely
iu the hands of tho inquiring party. Tho
Justico speaks of tho stallion as of an old
friend. The animal's breeding services
netted $3,000 one year. "Princo Johu" died
bovcral years ago, but ho is uot forgottou
Cupid's darts arc Hying thick and fast
around the town, and rumor says tho
hymeneal altar is likely to bo well patronized
this fall. Among tho number aro two
prominent mou who havo pa'ted the groater
part of their Uvea as women hators; and
thoy will both load "sweet sixteon" to tho
altar, too.
A certain young man in this town, who
occasionally "drives a quill" for a llvollhood,
received an invitation to attend a swell ail'air
recently, and expressed his regrets iu a noto
for his non-appoarauco in this manner:
"Absenco prevents my presence" Tho
young lady who eugiueored tho party is still
trying to fathom the young man's moaning
conveyed in those fow words.
"When may I sleep again ?" ho cried
As tho baby bogan to squall ;
And a saucy echo answered back :
"After tho bawl "

Tho school authorities of Norristown have
acted wisely and taken an advanco step In
educational matters. They have abolished
examinations, just as they have been
abolished in many othor places, and as they
should be in Shenandoah. I sincerely hope
that the day is not far distant when our
School Board will announce that the ridicu
lous system of examinations, which aro tor
turing to children, wastoful of precious school
time and productive not only of no good but
of positivo evil, will be completely wiped out.
I congratulate tho Norristown school authori
ties for their advanco step In school reform,
aud trust their good example will soon bo
followed by the local board. Obe.

Two men camo to town this morning with
