To the Editors of The AHeghanian:
gain do 1 crave your forbeara1ce while
jot down few items of local character for
the benefit of your readers. To begin, l
might as well notice some of the improve
ments which have sprung up here lately
Familiarity compels me to place first on the
list the new station house of the P. r. r.,
which for neatness of finish and commodious-
ness is not excelled in larger and more i'm
portant places. 1t contains a ticket Office,
separate ladies' and gents waiting rooms,
baggage room, ware room, and telegraph of
fee. An elevated platform extends around
the entire building. Mr. G. w. Kerbey, the
accommodating agent, expresses himse!
much pleased with the new Office, and the
telegraph operators, two young ladies, find i.
quite desirable change from their former
quarters. The Company deserve great credit
for the liberali:y displayed in building the
house and the taste displayed in furnishing it.
The Union Mill, owned by P. NJ. Wolsla-
gle, deserves passing notice. 1t has capac-
:ty for turning out upward of forty barrels of
flour in twenty-four hours. The proprietor
Is now buying grain and manufacturing at
western prices. Tie mill supplies a long
needed want, and we feel confident that our
"new miller" will receive double interest for
his investment.
The school directors of Summerhill town
ship have built neat and durable school
house within the borough limits, and our
"other Miller has built a coal house. This
fer improvements.
Quite contest has Strung up as to who
shall be our next Justice. The aspirants are
all good men, and we don't care q fddler's
blessing who wins.
Our borough schools have entered on
four months term, with Mr.. I. S. Reid as
principal, and Mr. VIM. Forsythe as assis-
tant. In connection we will simply ask
AAO" oA0 Jou1 OIale
The laborers on the P. R. r. here are en-
joying the benefits of the "eight-hour law"
The result is a reduction of wages. Poor
rule that won't work both ways.
A four feet vein Of ore has been found, and
is now being successfully worked, at Sum-
merhill, Croyle township. A furnace is in
contemplation at an early day.
Some moral and intellectual person effec-
ted an entrance into one of the school houses
of Washington township one night last week,
and broke the stove in several pieces. This
is the third time within three weeks that
stoves have been smashed in or carried away
from this school house. An old grudge is at
the bottom of it, and this method is resorted
to for the purpose of ouSting the teacher.
Mr.. VIM. Jones has been appointed P. NJ. at |
Sonman, vice Mr.. j. A Shoemaker resigned. |
A good appointment.
Tom Reilly, who halls from hereabout, and |
who las been for some years telegraph oper-
ator at the outer depot, Pittsburg, has been |
promoted 20 the position of assistant train
master at that point.
Mr.. David Farber, foreman on the P. r. R. |
Mt this point, was seriously injured on last |
Tuesday by jumping off locomotive while |
it was in motion.
If Miss Sue Murphy's claim is recognized
by Congress, your correspondent proposes
to start Immediately for Washington, form
her acquaintance, make love, propose
ion, and secure $1,000. If she objects to
This, she can return to Dixie, cor any other
man." CHIP OF Own BLOCK.
