At 1.110 Wi'rtnosdny morning. .Inn. 11th, Hi'njiiniin F. Rutler died at Ills li'sltli'nro In Wnshinirtnn, 1). C, of ht-iift failure. Hi- wits wvonty-four yeoin old tho ."ith of last November. A short sketch of his lifo will bo found on an inside ltir of tho STAK. Amonj; tho bills to bo presented to tho Lfjfislntiiro of this sttito during tho present winter will bo ono uskino; that tho ifovernor appoint six examiners and that all persons wishing to enter upon tho pmctioo of mt'dicino in Pennsylvania after .Inmiary. 1!4, will have to bo examined by this board. Tho editor of tho American Vitlliratnr sonsibly says: l,It is moro than an open question whether tho rush and breath less proed of acquirement in mixlern lifo is conducive to wisdom; whether those who dwell n little nfar from tho busy centers of social activities, and havo the ndvuntaj;o of perspective, do not gain more actual valuo from the pano rama. It is a question whether a day passed beginning with being present at a public reading at eleven; a ladies' lunch at one; a half-dozen teas and re ceptions or club meetings before dinner: dining out or entertaining guests at home, and assisting in tho evening at play or party, concert or lecture it is a question whether such round as this, busy and brilliant as it is, Is altogether conducive to tho higher splrltualizatlon of thought. For it Is thinking that is the real work of life. No study, no reading, no conversation, no hearing of locturo or music, no attendance on a drama, is of much use until the mind has assimilated it and kindled is own fire from the material. To cram in data, however valuable In itself, and mako no use of it, is as idlo as to buy rich and rare material for gowns and never huvo it made tip. Lifo Is lived truly only when it holds room for thought. A little data to a great deal of thought and reflection, is far more potent than the increase of material and the docrcaso of reflection. Wisdom is the reesult of thought processes, and It is wisdom, not knowledge, that is of pormnnont value in shaping lifo." Good roads Is a quostlon of groat lm portunco to the people of Pennsylvania, and moro especially to the people of Jofforson county. A road law has boon drafted by Arthur Kirk, of Pittsburg, which is expected will bo presented to the Legislature for adoption the prosont winter. Mr. Kirk's position Is as fol lows: That tho rouds are the property of tho Stato, and that tho whole State is aliko interested in and under obliga tion for their construction and main tenance. He also believes that If tho Stite enters on a comprehensive scheme of road construction the next genera tion, or even the one after that, to whom tho boneflts will be lmpm luut, should help to pay tho cost. Finally he believes that tho entire roud system should bo emancipated from local and lnoxjiort management of township offi cers and placed undor State control by exports. These three principles form the framowork of Mr. Kirk's measure. It proposes that tho State take charge of the location and construction of rouds through a Stato superintendent of rouds with county and district superintend ents under his direction. The funds for a general and comprehensive construc tion of now and Improved highways It proposes to raise by the Issue of twonty yoar three ;-er cent, bonds, at the rate of 80,000,(100 ouch your, for ten yours, the proceeds to be expended in all the counties in proportion to their acreage. Tlio measure jiermiU the Superintend ent of Rouds tu determine the material to he used aouording to locality, but prescribes stundurds of the width and grade. The udvuntuge of the above may be summed up thus: 1st, It will make good rouds within a few yours in every township in tho State. 2nd, It will muko good roads without any ex pease to present funnels, us the money to make rouds will come from sule of bonds. Huvlng twenty years to run and Jong before thut time agricultural land will be worth throe times its present value. Rnthmel. Oeorgo Flenner. of Crenshaw, moved to our town lut week.

But we pulled bark a little w.iy, mill I soon saw him swimming with all his night, but In the. Opposite direction from tho boat. I jelled to lil in. and when he saw lie was discovered ho inndo no further effort to pet away. And where ho was going is more than I know, for it all happened In miducenn. We hauled him in to the boat and made for tho ship. It was four months before we made port, and yet In all that time Sandy, for that was his name, never spoke a word. No ono on board could get a sound from him. "Sometimes lie would lie down on the deck nml seem to be asleep and some of the crew would slip up and stick him with a pin. At first he would twitch a littlo and then would not move at nil. We mndo a bed for him down below and kept him away from a kmfo or other weapon. You could tell him to take the wheel and ho would steer right enough, but If vou nsked him what course the ship was making ho was silent as tho grave. And when we made the first port ho went oshoro, and I never saw him again. But some of tho crow said he rcgoined his tonguo on land and thought he had been 'playing' us all tho time.
