destiny in that blessed immortality to which
l doubt not he has been summoned That
cur young friend was held in high esteem
by the citizens of this city was evidenced by
the large concourse of people who assisted
at his funeral obsequies, and who accompa-
MED his mortal remains to their last earthly
resting place in the Catholic churchyard at
Loretto. To his deeply afflicted family the
sincere sympathies of all who knew and ap-
preciated the lamentcd deceased are prayer
fully extended, and to those stricken ones
| would say,
But why lament the hard decree 2
'Tis God who took him to His love;
He called him for eternity
To His celestial home above.
Then weep not, father, o'er thy son
Mother, thy tears are all in vain
Brother and sisters, one by one,
Ere long he'll meet you all again.
Peace to his ashes and life of unending fe-
licity to his immortal spirit.
Politics have become SD sadly denoralized
and mixed up that do not feel that any
thing l could say would serve to pour oil
upon the troubled waters. The less we have
of politics, as conducted in some localities,
the better for the people. l shall endeavor'
to bear my share of the unex pected but not
irretrievable defeat which has overwhelmed
the democracy, in the State well as in our
municipal election, as philosophically as pos
sible, and hoping that every democrat will
do the same, | dismiss the subject without
induIging in recrimination or vain regrets.
The 'Viggie" boys are making extensive
preparations for their proposed Fair. which
is to be inaugurated on the first of Noven-
Der. They have built wigwam 45 feet
wide by 10 feet long. in which they design
holding the festival, aud the preliminary ar
rangements give promise of most brilliant
and successful fete. May it prove pleasant
affair and pay heavy dividend.
Right Rev. II. Mullen, Bishop Of Erie, de-
livered most eloquent and able discourse
in St. Johns (Catholic) church, in this city,
on Friday night last.
A carpenter in the employ of the Compa-
ny named David Wike was considerably in
jured, on Saturday week, by falling from a
| scatfolding upon which he was at work in
the lower part of our city.
The Fast Line going east on Monday last.
owing to the displacement of switch half
mile east Of our city, ran in on side track
and struck a train loaded with pig iron, and
though, strange to say, no person was in
! jured, the locomotive was completely dcmor
| aized and the front baggagec car badly broken.
That peculiar epidemic which always pre-
walls most extensively at this season of the
year, owing no doubt to the near approach
of cold " Gather, has broken out among the
young men and ladies in this place, and the
indications are that it will become conta-
gious. Several of my young friends have
already become affected with the malady.-
One named Bernard Corcoran had a severe
attack, the superinducing cause being very
mild (and bewitching) form of Sreeny, but
after few magic words from the Very Rev.
j. Tuigg, the SUeeny was relieved of its
name, If not of its nature, and became blend
! ed in the more euphonious one of Corcoran.
The same malady has CUry'd another young
and esteemed friend Of mine. surnamed JAS,
! to the Wallace, and the indications are that
! other parties will ere long be Colt-ed to fol
| low their commendable example. May all
be as happy as they deserve and sincerely
| wish them to be.
The question is asked. Who found the ap-

] could give you the names of the officers
elected in Wilmore borough, but your for
mer correspondent, Chip &C., has returned
and taken upon winter quarters, will not en-
croach upon the local rights of others.
A considerable amount of sickness has pre-
vailed in this locality during the past few
weeks, but the indications now are, am glad
to say, that it is abating.
We had wedding in this vicinity last week,
and several others are said to be on the taps,
if you know where that is. The occasion re-
ferred to is the first time old Hymen has had
chance to "go in and get squeez ed" for many

find anything OF interest to your readers pro-
vided, however, they will overlook all defects
consequent upon my inexperience.
As your correspondents are so numerous it is
difficult to find "nom de guerre" not already
in use, but nevertheless l have selected one
appropriate to my state of life. SoLrEEo.
