To the Editor of The 4Ueghanian
The election in this and the surroun-
ding boroughs passed off quietly. The
utmost good feeling seemed to prevail
with both parties. For wonder, only
one man had the privilege of seeing the
inside of the lookup during the day
He happened to be going around the
street painting $4,000 Democratic ma
jority On imaginary placards, and bein g
somewhat noisy, was pulled up By the
police.
There was lively time on Canal street
on Saturday evening. A large party, first
having primed themselves with doses of
fighting whisky, got up regular trough
aud tumble" and for a time battered
heads and bruised faces we're the order of
the day. The police lodged i7e of the
belligerents in the city hotel, from which
they emerged next morning after paying
a salty bill for their nights lodging,
Capt. James H. Gageby, of the 18Th U.
S. Infantry, is on brief visit here. His
many friends are sorry that tAe demands
of duty will not allow him long sojourn
with US. He departs in about ten days
for his present post on Staten Island.
On Saturday, two notorious showers of
counterfeit money, named George w.
Water and John B. Wright, victimized
parties in our town to the tune of two
hundred dollars. The notes showed were
! tens on the First National Bank of Phil
adelphia. The two men were arrested
in Pittsburg by the depot police, yester-
day Two hundred dollars of the coun-
terfeit bills were found in their possession
at the time of their arrest.
A man named Stewart, while on his
way from this place to his home in Brush
valley, Indiana county, met with serious
accident at point about one mile west of
town. He was driving along the old tow
path, when his wagon went over the bank,
throwing him out and fracturing his skull
and otherwise seriously injuring him. His
wounds were dressed by DR.. Marbourg.
Rev B. L. Agnew has resigned the
pastorate of the Presbyterian church OF
this place. He intends going to Phila-
delphia. Do.
