At a regular meeting of Welcomo Lodge, No. 21,1. O. G. T. of Horatio, Pa., hold on < >coober 2,1809, the following premhle and res" olutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It has pleased the Great Arhitect of the Universe to remove from our midst our late sister, Mrs. N. A. Bowdish; and Whereas, It is but just that a fitting recognition of her many virtues should bo made, therefore be it Resolved, By Welcome Lxlge, No. Independant Order of Good Tempters, that while we bow with humble submission to the will of the Most High we do not the lees mourn for our sister who has been taken from us. Resolved, That in the death of Mrs. N. A. Bowdish, this lodge laments the loss of a sister who wss always ready to offer the hand of aid aud the voice of sympathy to the needy and distressed of the fraternity ; an active member of this society, whoso utmost endeavors were exerted for its welfare and prosperity; a friond and companion who was dear to us all. Resolved, That the heartfelt sympathy of this lodge be extendod to her family in their smiction; and Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the lodge, and a copy thereof be transmitted to the family of our deceased sister, and be printed in the Punxsutawney Sri bit. Ella Thomas, David Evans, 8. J. WOODHOUBE, Committee. Some of our local nimrods who could not resist the temptation to have "jusc a shot or two" before the season opened have run afoul of the game law. Messrs Charles B. Guth and Frank Guth, of Brookvitle, and Mr. Frank Truman were the first to get into the toils of tho game warden. When brought to time they plead guilty to shooting just one squirrel a piece. The prioe was high, but the law is inexorable and a fine of ten dollars each and costs was imposed. The fine and costs were paid and the payees will no doubt wait until after the 15th whan just a bite of iquirrel pie won't come so high. The dedication of the Panl Darling Memorial Hall did not materialize on the 10th as was annonaced. The school directors concluded that the money necessary to procure prominent persons to take part would be bot. ter expended in famishing and  beautifying tho rooms of the building.

Another on Wednesday afternoon given by Mrs. J«mcs J. Henry. These howover, aro minor social affairs as when compared to the expectations for Thursday evening, when Miss Elna Dickey will be married to Dr. W. W. Maxwell of Pittsburg. There is oonsiderablo complaint about out of town pupils crowding our public schools. Certain portions of rose township srs in town for school purposes, the parents of children paying their school taxes'into the borough treasury. While these taxes are not as high at those paid by residents of the borough, no faalt is found. The omplaint is against those who come to town, procure boarding in private families or club together and "keep house" during the school term, taking adyan* tage of the higher branches taught in the borough schools. It is said that a move will be made by the school board towards removing this evil, which, to put it mildly, is unfair to the borough takpayers. Better Goods for $12, $15. $18.
