GFATAL AccIDENT-We care informed that
few days before. Christmas, MIR. George
Patrick of Burnside township, met with
fatal accident whilst engaged in telling tim
Der. near Cherry-tree borough. As ne waS
cutting down a tree limb became detacheo
and fell upon him, killing him almost III M
stantly. He. leaves a wife and three small
children to mourn his sad fate.
IcE.-We observed that some Of our cltl-
zens were engaged IN ming tiieir Ice-ilou1ss
;aa .a : gaoj and hence the time TO put it up:
Fo,. sesyerT,l years past many persons waited
until later in the season to put up their ice,
and the result was that some Of them pro
cured but limited supply and Of rather an
inferior quality But, we presume, they will
not be caught in that way this year, from
present indications.
4 Word FOR OURSELVES would
remind our patrons that next week Is Court,
At which time we expect them to call and
square up their accounts BY doing so you
will save money. as after that time, as here
rofore stated, we viii charge all strictly ac-
cording TO published rates The high price
of every article consumed by us in our busi
ness, and the recent heavy outlay for new
tvpe admonshes us to require prompt pay
Inent from those who are indebted to us.
THE WEATHER Since our last issue we
have had a speck Of real old fashioned winter
Friday night was decidedly the coolest Of the
season-the thermometer indicating ten de-
grees below zero at sun rise on Saturday
morning. On Saturday and Sunday it was
also exceedingly cold, but on Monday the
air VAS some what more moderate. On
fE',,ar1a1- oh
five inches Of snow feh, which viii make
good hauling, as the roads were in excellent
condition previous to the fall Of snow.
