Tuesday, April 26--George Fleisher's administrator, will sell, near Markelville, one horse, one buggy, farming implements, carpenter tools and miscellaneous articles. ------------------------------------------------------ She Climbed a Tree and Eloped. Chambersburg, April 10.--Miss Grace Kohler, the daughter of a farmer living near Clay Hill, in Antrim township, has eloped with Edward Stoner, a widower, under romantic circumstances. Her parents were opposed to the love affair, and while they were absent from home she sent for Stoner, but the old folks returned home before he arrived. She left the house alone and climbed a pine tree to wait for him. They searched for her in vain, and she could see them by the aid of the moonlight, but was invisible to them. She soon joined Stoner and they were married at Greencastle. ------------------------------------------------------ The Pittsburg Penny Press reports a quiet movement at Harrisburg to make Beaver a Presidential candidate next year if Blaine declines. ------------------------------------------------------ Tried to Bleed Himself to Death. West Chester, April 8.--David Meredith, of Lionville, was found lying in his stable last night in an insensible condition, the result of his having opened an artery in one of his wrists, with suicidal intent. He recently buried his wife and since then has been afflicted with melancholy. He has half a dozen children depending on him for support and the attending physician thinks that he cannot survive. ------------------------------------------------------ JOHN T. RAYMOND, the famous comedian, died at Evansville, Indiana, on Sunday. He was ill but a few days with an intestinal disorder, complicated with heart trouble. His family live in New York. All who have ever heard him as Col. Mulbery Sellers will regret that one so gifted should be called hence in the prime of life. He was 51 years old on Tuesday of last week. ------------------------------------------------------ JUDGE SADLER'S friends in the Cumberland Valley are pushing him for the Republican nomination for Supreme Judge, says an exchange. We have two old and able lawyers in this county, of the same political complexion, either of whom, if the Republicans are to sweep the State as they did last fall, we would like to see elevated to the Supreme Bench. We refer to W. A. Sponsler, Esq., and Judge Junkin. Perry furnished a Chief Justice many years ago whose decisions are still quoted in all the courts of the civilized world. As a jurist, John Bannister Gibson has had few equals. ------------------------------------------------------ EX GOV. PATTISON has been appointed by the President one of the commissioners to investigate the Pacific railroads under a recent act of Congress. The Ex-Governor belongs to that class of men whom the Fates smile upon. When he steps out of one office there is always another ready for him. Salary $750 a month and all expenses paid by the government. ------------------------------------------------------ JAMES G. BLAINE is lying sick at Fort Gibson, Indian Territory, but is now regarded as out of danger. ------------------------------------------------------ RHODE ISLAND has elected a Democratic Governor and has a majority in the Legislature. Will wonders never cease ? ------------------------------------------------------ UPWARDS of 150,000 people met in Hyde Park, London, on Monday afternoon and protested against the Irish Coercion measures. ------------------------------------------------------ The letter of the President in relation to the Canadian fisheries trouble is not satisfactory to the Massachusetts fishermen. ------------------------------------------------------ GOV. BEAVER has not yet appointed a successor to Judge Peirce, who died at Philadelphia last week. It is likely to be Assistant District Attorney Bregy. ------------------------------------------------------ GOV. MATTHEW S. QUAY, whose term as U. S. Senator began on the 4th March, still holds on to the State Treasurer's office. Two big salaries for one man holding two offices at the same time certainly gives the Boss the right to pose as a Republican Reformer of political abuses. ------------------------------------------------------ The P. C. R. R. The friends of the P. C. R. R. have every reason to be much encouraged. The work of preparation goes bravely on. Many who have been holding back, doubting the success of the enterprise, are now among the foremost in pushing on the work and earnestly advocating the construction of the road. From this town west to the Round Top, the farmers of the valley are beginning to see the importance of a railroad from the county seat to Duncannon. Their individual interests demand such connection. The value of their farms and farm-earnings is at stake. The removal of the county seat and the erection of new and costly public buildings would ruin them. They cannot afford to pay the additional taxes that would surely be required of them and which could be collected off them by law. They have at last come to realize the situation and those of them who have any public spirit will contribute to the railroad at least a portion of the amount of taxes they would be compelled to pay in the event of the removal of the county seat. It is true, there is here and there a person who is able to help on the work who will not subscribe a dollar to the road. Much as they would like to see it made, they want others to make it. The world has always had such men in it and there will continue to be such men on the face of it when Gabriel blows his horn to summon them to judgment. The man who lives entirely for himself, caring nothing for the welfare of others, is never found to be the friend of any enterprise that would benefit the community in which he lives. His whole aim in life is to get money and keep it. When he dies nobody regrets his death, for he was of no use to those among whom he lived. Thanks to the liberality of the more open-handed citizens, the grading of the P. C. R. R. is assured. Of course, those who have held aloof from the enterprise and do not intend to help it along, will not refuse to avail themselves of the advantages it will afford when it is completed, though their thoughts, during their first trip over it, will hardly be of the same kind as the feelings of those who helped build the road. By the 20th inst. the profile and specifications will be ready for the inspection of contractors. On the 27th the bids will all be in. By the 15th of May the grading will have been fairly begun, and then we will see who in this town and vicinity are for and who are against the P. C. R. R. We hope to find not one of the latter kind. ------------------------------------------------------ ===== Judy Warner Bookwalter (Conner Crull Garland Garlin George Harglerode Kough/Koch Leighty Morrison Riggleman Smith Warner Zimmerman) http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?m=51270668103&n=423147537 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
