Mrs. Prank Dickinson and daughter Florence, of Brooluton, Pa., were the guests of their ion and brother, Oharlie, of the tiriu of Moors >(c Dickinson, last week. Ambroee Oouth, of BrookTiile, was shaking hands with his friends in this place on Saturday, Mrs. W. T. Cox had an attack of heart liailure Monday morning, and for a time it was feared that organ would nut again resume its functions. Dr. Reynolds linally succeeded in bringing her around, and at this hour she is resting comfortably. John Burgh and Fred Bums were trying their speed Saturday evening 011 their respective wheels, when Hurgh ran into a buggy and spilled himself and the occupants of the four wheeled vehicle all over the street, and made a wreck of his machine.| Thomas Long, one of Co. C., 2d. 1 . S. S. Is., whose home is in Madison, Nebraska, has been visiting old comrades and friends in this vicinity for the past two weeks. Tommy enlisted from this community, his home at that time being in Washington township. He was a good soldier, and is a good citizen. Samuel Kastmau, of Lottsviile, Warren county, who has been visiting relatives and friends in this section of country for some time, returned home last week. Sam is a nice boy and has a whole regiment of friends in this portion of the terrestrial sphere. J. C. Ferris, for the lirst district, and John Howlett, for the second district of the borough, received the highest number of votes for County Committeemen, and represented the district in Monday's convention. (t>uite a number of our citizens boarded the train for the county seat this Monday morning. Saturday was the natal day of Mrs. Margaret Jt. (Jorsline, and a number of friends gathered at her home on Kast Main Street, as a reminder that they had not forgotten her age. A very pleasant afternoon and evening whs wbiled away, an elegant repast was served, some reminiscences related, some reminders presented, and the guests departed at the hour of 10 p. m, ail well pleased with the event. The West Iteynoldsville school lioarifc refused to raise the salary of Prof. Lex N. Mitchell, and therefore lost the services of one of the most able instructors of the State. Mr Mitchell rightly refused to accept their otter, although they were very anxious he should do so, but they deemed it proper to curtail expenses. Prof. Mitchell has a number of places in view, all of which are anxious to secure his services, hut as yet he has not decided where he will locate. ! -walks tore up and out of of cre- I ination. In the meantime a messenger was i dispatched to the geniral office. and the Mow of (laid was stopped, and the hole ! sewed up. James Degnan took his family out for a drive on Sunday evening, and as he was returning home met with an accident, which might have been serious, but for the fact that he had control of the horse. As he was coming down the hill near the new cemetery the bolt came out of the .shafts on one side of the surry, and caused it to run against the horse, and also to incline to try botli sides of the road at almost the same time. As he was driving a' a good rate of speed it took some time to adjust matters properly, but it wa finally done without serious damage. The recreant bolt was found, placed in position, and Jim I drove into town with the family all safe j and sound. While working on tth street extension in the vicinity of Sharptown, one day last week, the road machine collided with a gas pipe, causing the aeriform fluid contained, or (lowing through said pipe to How out through an opening made by the machine, in the aforesaid collision. One of the men in order to see if there was much of a break in the line applied a match to the breach, and immediately that portion of Sharp town was illuminated. It took tha entire foroe of men busy for a few minutes getting the Panxsutawney is a renl good town and there are some nice people who abide within its corporate limits. 1 was there a few hours on Friday, and had the pleasure of meeting a number of the elete, who I am hound to admit treated me with the utmost civility, and tendered me the freedom of the city. Amongst the number who escorted me around pointing out the places of interest and principal were 'Squire.foe Wilson, Walter lirown, Col. John P. Wilson, (late of Nashville> C. H. Freas and Joe Beyers, the druggist. I was taken to the pastures where the quadruped of the cer vine genus grazes in wild abandon, nor cares a ontinental for the cost of a clambake. The Elks are all right, and their rooms are "out of sight.' and if any one feels inclined to dispute this assertion let him or them stand forth and warble it in ear, and I will prove by John Dillman and Marks Conser that verily I have spoken the truth. This reminds me that I am in receipt of a very neatly executed invitation to graze with lodge No. '»ol. at Punxsutawney, on Thursday evening. June 24, which owing to a combination of circumstances I will be unable to accept. Am grateful for the "invite" just the same, and wish the stags a good time, which I feel very positive they will have. John Dillman and James Degnan do not care what sort of weather the market contains when they make up their minds to go any place. Last Tuesday they started for a drive to Brookville, Sigel, daring ton. and some other towns of less note. It was raining hard when they set sail, and kept right on distilling dampness during the day and night. When they got to Brookville they found the wheels had been washed of! of their buggy, and they were obliged to leave it at Mike Murphy's for a re-wheeliug. Mr. Murphy furnished them with an elegant conveyance which Mr. Dillman is very proud of, owing to its antiquity. The right rear wheel is a tritle out of plumb, and is ! dished the wrong way. But that cuts no figure with John, even if it does swipe him 011 the shoulder now and then when he I leans too affectionately to that side of the vehicle. It is no slouch of a rig at all events or it would not have been in existance today. It is a twin sister of the one owned by Mr. Thomas Pifer. That is the reason John is partial to it, and dislikes to return it to Mr. Murphy. The June primaries passed oft quietly, and the result is that a few republicans have been nominated. In our town the vote was small, but it was entirely republican. I was 011 the board and had two other good men, Frank Miller and Tom Veil, as assistants, and we had a soft snap, and plenty of lemonade to drink. This delicious beverage was donated by Mr. W. T. Cox, who is a gentlemen of the old school, and thoroughly understands what sort of liquid refreshments to serve on occasions such as was then and there being transacted. The only hitch in the entire proceedings was in reference to our own candidates for delegates, and that was a friendly bout in which the outside seemed interested much more than the candidates themselves. , i £ E.
