Goo. Shiran, jr., has been nominated
by President Harrison for tho Associate
Justice of tho Supremo Bench of tho
United States, made vaeant by tho re
cont doath of Justice Bradley.
It is unnecessary to devote much
space in tellinjr our readers that tho

"If any speak ill of theo floe home to
thy own conscience, and cxamlno thy
heart; if thou be guilty, it is a Just
correction; if not guilty, it is a fair
instruction; make use of both; so shalt
thou distill honey out of gall, and out
of an open enemy create a secret friend."
A. W. Brungard, district attorney of
Clinton county, who has made himself
obnoxious with tho pcoplo of that
county, tendered his resignation to
Judge Mayer and it was accepted. The
offlco is now vacant and no appointment
will be made until the 29th of August.

The attempt to assassinate H. C. Frlck
last Saturday by an Anarchist named
Borkman, is a new chapter in tho long
list of startling events connected with
the strike. Considerable space on an
other page of this issue is devoted to
the oncounter in Frick's private office
last Saturday afternoon.
A philanthropist of wide experience
declares that the male criminal of
London have nearly all entered upon
their career ol crime betweon the ages
of eight and sixteen years; and that if
a young man lives an honest life up to
the age of twenty, there are forty-nine
chances in favor, and only one against
him as to an upright life thereafter.
The above statement is worthy the
attention of parents who are careless
with their boys allowing them to run
the streets, paying little attention as to
the company they keep or the places
where there evenings are spent. It is
also worthy the careful consideration
of the boys who talk about sowing their
"wild oates." While the plant is tender
and pliant is the time to commence
preparing for the days of manhood.
Get a Bolid foundation for your charac
ter. If you sow to the wind you are

The Republican Congressional con
ferees of the twenty-first district, who
met at Saltsburg Tuesday of last week,
adjournod Friday afternoon to meet at
Punxsutawney on Wednesday, August
10th. No nomination was made and it
is believed the conferees were no nearer
a choice when they adjournod than
when they commenced. The Indiana
and Jefferson county delegates wore
agreed to vote for either Nesblt or
Bond. All they needed was the support
of one' Armstrong delegate to make a
nomination, but the Armstrong con'
forees refused to desert their man
Heiner. The candidates will all make
a determined fight, and the indications
are that there will be no nomination
made at Punxsutawney, and it would
not be improbable but that the selection
of a candidate will go to the state
committee. We predict that Hon. Goo,
F. Huff will be the candidate for con'
grese on the Republican ticket this fall.
Friday, October 21st, 1892, will be
the four-hundredth anniversary of
the discovery of America by Columbus.
Last Thursday President Harrison
issued a proclamation making that a
' general holiday for the people of the
United States. The President advises
that day, so far as possible, the people
cease from toil and devote themselves
to such exercises as may best express
honor to the discoverer and their appre
elation of the great achlevments of the
lour completed oenturies of American
life. Furthermore, let tho national
flag float over every school house in the
i country, and impress upon our youth
the patriotic duties of American cltl-
x zenship.: Also in the churches and In
the other places of assembly of the
people let there be expressions of grati
, tude to Divine Providence for the
devout faith of the discoverer' and for
the Dlvino care and guidance which has
directed our history and so abundantly
blessed our people.

tho comic and the tragic all inter

on the tiles, but tho miserable weather
had not limited the audience nor did
it limit tho power of tho players. Miss
Jane Ciximlis in the dual role of Lady
Deadlock and Hortenso achieved tho
greatest triumph of her life. She was
a living representation, and the auditor

he is witnessing a play, and feels that

Extreme joy is followed by a season of
heartrending penance. Sorrow and
pain enable, us to appreciate small
blessings. Llfo Is made up of sunshine
and cloud, of calm and storm. Every
pleasure has a sting nt the bottom of
it, and he who makes a violent effort
to rille llfo of its sweets will end in
despair or suicide. Pain follows in the
wake of pleasure as a shadow. "Amid
the roses fierce repentance reared on
snaky crest." Therefore, my son, go
not in pursuit of phantoms, lest you be
torn to pieces by the sirens of passion.
Seek not pleasure in the beer mug nor
happiness in the tents of the wicked.

The man who uses the overcheck rein
on his horse is guilty of Inflicting a most
cruel torture upon the animal. It robs
the horse of its beauty by destroying the
natural graceful curvature of the neck
and causes great suffering. It is not
necessary to go to other towns to see
such things. Reynoldsville horses are
not all free from the overcheck rein.

On last Friday a fifteen year-old
daughter of William Himes, a farmer
residing In Porter township, Clarion
county, about a mile from Now Bothlo-
hom had both her legs cut off and was
otherwise injured by falling in front of
the blades of a mowing machine which
she was driving. It is not known how
she came to fall from her seat, as no
one saw her when the accident hap
pened. It Is thought she cannot live.
Tho valuable of a good name was well
exemplified tho other day whon a man
asked one ol our druggists for a home oi

The other day I was listening to a con
rressman relating to a small circle his
experience at a recent convention. I
will make a secret or his name, as I pro
pose to live long and uninterruptedly in
the land which the Lord elected, and in
no wise crave to be cut off in the blush
ing morning of my days. The fact is,
this statesman is a very broad, athletic
one, of a shifty and uncertain temper.
"Yez should have heard me speech,'
he said. "It was a lulu. And I paid
me respects to Congresh, too, me boy.
I toold 'em the way matters had been
niishmanaged we wouldn't have the
money to meet the expinses of the pris-
int physical year. Thin I bore down on
the hypnotizin prachticed in this house."
"The hypnotism?' queried a listener,
"Yis, the hypnotizin. The appint
mint of all thim sons and ree-latives of
congreshmin to loocrative stipinds.
Here's the b'ys of three congreshmin on
the page's roll naw, be hlvins, earnln
their seventy-five dollars a month the
year 'round and them b'ys, mind yes,
only nine and tin years old, and the legs
of thim no bigger than sphindles. I
should say it was hypnotizin.
"Anil thin," continued the congress
man, "whin our man wint through all
right I jumped up and moved to make
his nomination ceremonious, and thin
the foon began."
"Unanimous, you mean," corrected an
auditor.

Balnmaklns; Bombs.
A company engaged in the manufac
ture of explosives in this city has for
sale now small bombs about the size of
frankfurter sausages, with which it is
said the farmer can bring down small
showers of rain wheuever he sees clouds
over his land.
The constituents of one bomb are dl
vided into two parts, liquid and solid,
which are both separately nonexplosive.
These can lie1 kept separate until the
time comes to use them, when they are
mixed. t
The solid part is about an inch in di
ameter and eight inches in length, and
is wrapped in cotton. These bombs are
placed in grooved tin boxes, each hold'
ing ten. A small tin measure, contain
ing the liquid part, accompanies each
box. It is graduated to show the quan
tity needed to saturate the bomb to the
exploding point.
Five or fifty bombs may be used, ao
cording to the amount of rain needed
or the detonation required. How the
farmer is to know how much detonation
is needed is a dubious matter. The
bombs are tied in a bundle, a time fuse
is attached and the whole lot discharged
from a mortar and at the passing cloud,
In hilly countries clouds often pass
over the valleys and discharge their
contents on the barren mountain sides.
In such regions, it is said, the bombs
will be particularly useful. New York
