Of a little boy, four years of age, son of Mrs.
Oyler, of Cumberland county. lie strayed from
home, and the whole neigh6orhood started out
on the search, securing the surrounding noun
tain through the day and displaying lighted
torches after night. After two days and nights
the dead body OF the little fellow was discovered
nearly nine miles from his home. The Compi-
Ter then adds:
"The little dog, which had been the child's
playmate aud which had accompanied him on
his long and fatal journey, was found nestled in
the ehild's hosOm, with his head reclining on
his cold and lifeless form. The faithful dog had
trnmped quite path around the lifeless body
Of the sleeping innocent, thus betraying the at.
lection that it had for the YOUTH and in its fond
caresSes had licked back the hair upon the
childs forehead. The corpse was conveyed
home to its weeping mother, who, under The
peculiar affecting circumstances, was almos t
frantic with grief"

WASHINGTON, Pa, MArcn TO- 1903.
MRssRs EDIToRs:-The annual contest be-
tween the Washington and Uuion Literary So
cieties Of Washington College came of last
evening with great credit to all concerned. The
Select Orations, by MessIs David Brown and j.
B. Delhi, were fine specimens of defamation,
and did honor both to the performers and the
Societies which they represented. The essays,
by Messrs David W. Clark and S. +. Jones,
were admirable productions, happy in concep-
ton, chas:e and classical in style, and neatly
and effectively read. The subjects were Mental
Harmony and Ancient and Modern Philosophy.
The original orators, Messrs. B. F. Powelson and
j. d. Kerr, acquitted themselves very hand
somely. The Conquest OF Intellect and The
True Knight Of Learning, were their themes,
on which they discouTsed with manly dignity
and force.
CARE the AMERICAN EVANGELICAL CHURCHES
THE BULwARK OF AMERICAN LIBERTY?" was
discussed ON the affirmative by d. NJ. Miller,
and ON the negative by Mr.. Dudley Evans
Each DICTATOR spoke an hour. They had thor
on .hly prepared themselves on their respective
sides. Mr.. Miller's argument was close, logical
and convincing, and came up full and square to
the question. Mr.. Evans did the best that could
be done in bad cause. His argument was
ingenious and plausible, and was spoken with
great self possession and effect
The performances were listened to with close
attention by large and intelligent audience |
was glad to observe that the students of the col.
lege were very attentive, and greatly assisted in
preserving order. But, though the general or
der was good. yet am sorry to say that some
cisitOrs vino would like to be called gentlemen,
created some confusion.
am happy to state that after an absence of
n year and a half from Ny alma Mater, find
her health very much improved. There seems
to be good feeling between the Faculty and
students, and among the students themselves.
The number in attendance are increasing con-
stantly, and 1 can testify that know of no
place where a more thorough training in the
rudiments of scientific, mathematical, and clas-
steal education can be had, than in Washington
College. Nor do know any place where
young man will be under more healthy, moral
and religious influence. @. p. F.

ALFRED MABSs, ESQ. says:-"My wife has
been sorsly afflicted with Dyspepsia for the last
year. During this time. she had used SO many
medicines, which seemed TO aggravate rather
than remove the disease. that we almost despair
ed of her recovery. Living in the country, she
enjoyed all the advantages OF pure air and exer-
else, yet each day she seemed to be more enfee-
bled. With some difficulty, l persuaded her to
take your Holland Bitters, which, am happy
TO state, has completely cured her"

-"Her appearance interested everybody. Her

gold, decorated with diamonds, became her ex-

her throat gave lustro to beautiful compilations;
but her beauty is simply that of expression and
youth" a private letter from Paris, on the
other hand, describes her as pug noosed, an
gular shaped, with tawny hair and looking like

ADvERTlsE.-Tn the following paragraph the
Utica IN. w. O6serrer instances cause dem.
onstrating the advantages of advertising to the
business man: 0's
It is often the case that men ccme into our
office and inquire for tho papers puhlislsd ct
such place, saying that they would like, to
find somebody's advertisements They dtdown
and look the papers over, and Il is oiten the
case that they nre unable to find the desired
information. Not long since gentleman was
looking for the names and address Of an Al
bany firm to which he desired to make . con-
signmcnt, but not finding It he made thSS re-
mark that he would ship to firm he was well
acquainted with, but not liking their reputa.
ton, he desired to deal with the other FIRM
This is but one Of the many instances and
proves ccnclusively that business men ahonld
advertise, if 'tis nothing more than their busi-
ness cards.
