Bert Schwem has recovered the horse ? that lie lost 011 the mountain last week, i The horse was lost. Bert lost him and he then lost himself. He hat! strayed fully ten miles from camp, and when found was in a rocky ravine wherr it was almost an impossiblity to reach him. He was traced by dogs, who followed the trail, and their barking attracted the searchers who stood on the rocks above and called to the hounds. The horse heard the voices and gave a whining, after which they descended to his hiding place and the delighted beast followed them to civilization without any trouble. He was the best pleased animal on the mountain, and almost tramped the heels of his rescuers on the way to camp. Riley Smeltzer, who has been in Washington for the past four month expecting to be re-instated as a proof reader in the Government printing office, returned home last week, considerably dissatisfied with Civil Service machinery. Mr. Smeltzer is a thoroughly competent man and an out and out Republican, and was compelled to walk the plank in order to give his place to a Democrat when Mr. Cleveland made his second advent. And now he thinks it no more than fair that the other fellow should practice a little pedestrianism. He would be willing to see him ride, out on a wheel or slide out on his ear just so he got out. Mrs. Alferd Wiggett died Friday at 4. p. m. after a short illness and was laid to rest in Beulah cemetery at '■) o'clock Sunday afternoon. Owing to their being no wiigon road from Mr. Wiggett's house il was necessary to have three relays of pall-bearers who carried the remains to the bicycle bridge where carriages were in waiting to convey the funeral party to the Baptist church and from there to the cemetery where it was laid away tenderly in the family plot. An eloquent and impressive sermon was delivered by Rev Dean the Baptist minister, and the choir rendered some beautiful and appropriate selections. Mrs. Wiggett whose maiden name was Bash was born in Armstrong county and was <»7 years of age. .She was married in the year 1883 and has been a loving and dutiful wife for 11 years. Mr. Wiggett feels his grief keenly but in the midst of his grief he remembers with deepest gratitude the kindness shown him in his bereavement and will ever feel grateful to all who assisted in the sad obsequies. The casket was strewn with lovely floral offerings presented by kindly friends "Sleep on, my wife, in thy cold bed, Never to be disquieted. My lAHt "good night" thou wilt not wake Till I tby fate n hull overtake; Till age or grief or sieknem munt Marry my body to that dust It ho much loves, and (ill the room My heart keep* empty in tliy tomb." A large crowd of our people, of all ages, were at Summerville, last Thursday, gorging themselves on roasted ox. They came home full to the brim and expressed themselves satisfied with the day's entertainment. Mr. Wm. Cox informed me confidentially that the beef was much more palatable than was that of the Reynolds ville roast during the Hartranft campaign in 1874. Scott McClelland and N. Z. Pinney, two old veterans of the late war, were on hand and took an active part in the affair. These gentlemen drove down from Brookville and remained until the last piece of meat had been served. There were other refreshments to Swallow, but they confined themselves strictly to the bill of fare. One of our town boys foundered himself on creek water and is yet very stiff in the joints. Summerville is a good town but you can't swallow all the water there is in it,and that is the sort of a place it is. I have seen the time it was not thus but thus it now is, as many good thirsty fellows who were there on the 19ih can testify. John N. Garrison late of our own county of Jefferson bat later of Central America where hsis largely Interested inj tropical MONEY TO g 1 lonmr, Fmu—Iswsf, 1*.

Frank McCowan was at Brookville 8aturday.A party of three drove to Brookville on Sunday 15 inst. and as I was not apprised of the fact their names did not appear in last week's Spirit and now they are saying naughty things about the nice man who does the writing for that excellent paper. I am sorry, awfully sorry, but really it was not my fault. So there, now. The following old soldiers are attending the encampment this week J. L. I'wing, L. N. Stoke, Aaron Rogers, R. \K Beer, John Griffith, Thos. Black and Ah Reynolds. The non combatants are Alex Riston, John Ewing ami Miss Maggie Stoke. They have all learned the popular air "1*111, me off a Buffalo." The traction engine that passed through town, last week, caused considerable excitement on Jackson street. An eight year old boy seeing it steaming along, rushed home in hot haste and informed his mother that engine .1 had jumped the track and was coming up town. James Richards, of Warsaw, ami l>. B. McConnell, of Aliens Mills, drove to town Sunday to hear Rev J. M. Dean the Baptist minister discourse the gospel. Mr.Richards is a pillar of that church and was highly plea>cd witli our young diocese. John Thomas has sold his barber shop to Reese Williams and will go to New Kensington this week. Jarvis Wil'iams will conduct the business at Mr Thomas' old stand. Harry Bryan tapped a keg of vinegar on Saturday afternoon thinking it was beer. It would not produce the froth even after he had pumped 160 lbs. of air into the keg. Mrs. Li Hie Glenn, of Pitsburg. who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hartle, of Pleasant avenue, for the past week, returned home on Saturday. The seven months old child of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Milliron died of cholera-infautum Sunday morning and was buried in Beulah atp in. Monday. fruits, spent about three fourths of t!0 minutes in our town .Saturday evening. Mr. Garrison is the same genial whole sou led gentleman that he was in days agone. Although time is whitening his locks and the silver threads are painfully apparent among the good, age cannot dim the fire of his eye nor chase the old time happv smile from his face. John is strictly all right where ami whenever you meet him. N. H. Lucas and Charlie Dickenson were bass fishing away up on the raging Sinnamahoning last week. Mr. Dickenson informed me that they had caught a large number of black fellows hut as I did not see a solitary fish am irrM'ned to think the storv "fishy " Mr. Lucas has never said a word and had there been any truth in the statement "Billy" would have been on the carpet tooting his horn. «S3BL f Mm W* *
