for Legislature-both from Somerset
county.
TAN.-Tan may be removed from
the face by mixing magnesia in soft
water to the consistency of paste,
which should then be spread on the
face and allowed to remain a minute
or two. Then wash off with CASTLE
soap suds, and rinse with soft water.
he Radicals have not only learn
ed to 'jump Jim Crow" but they have
swallowed a full fledged "reber' Grove,
spit him on radical ground, and
given him a fat office for his subservi-
ency. Rather rough for radicals, but
cunning in Grove.
GONE TO CLEARFIELD.-Quit a
number of persons from this place and
Cumberland Valley started for Clear
field on Monday, as witnesses in the
case of the bank robbers, whose trial
takes place this week. District a ttor-
ney Kerr, Sheriff Steckman and Depu-
ty Huzzard are with the party.
On the 7th inst, little daughter OF
Mr. Robson, of Duncansville, came
to her untimely death from the effects
of poison which had been mixed with
butter and spread on bread for the
purpose of killing rats. Two of the
little girls found the bread and ate it
one died and the other is lying in a
critical condition.
RADICAL RAFFLE.-The rattle for
radical nominations in Somerset coun-
ty came off on last Saturday week, and
resulted as follows Senator, Alex.
Stutzman; Representative, B. F. Long;
PrOthonotary, Dennis Myers; Register,
D. ]. Horner; Treasurer, W. B. Cof-
froth; Sheriff, Ex-sheriff Josiah Sha-

COMPLIMENT TO CANDIDATES
The Indiana Democrat, after saying,
"the democracy of Bedford county
have nominated an excellent ticket"
pays the following high compliment to
our candidate for Sheriff:
The nomination of that unfIinching
Democrat, VIM. Keyser, for Sheriff,
pleases us immensely. A better Dem
ocrat and a more honorable man does
not live in that county, and we expect
to hear of his election by a handsome
majority. We congratulate Mr.. Keyser
on his good fortune, and the party that
they have so worthy candidate.
SENSIBLE SUGGEsTION.-We read of
a painter, who recently got off good
joke on the inquisitive, by putting a
placard on building which he was
painting, with the following words:
Aas1oers TO all questions. Building
red. SasheS Blue. Bricks to be pen
ciIed if the money holds out. Only one
coat. Hudson, painter.
AS joke, this is not bad, and some
thing similar might relieve men of all
pursuits from answering many inqui-
ries.
MENGEL HOUSE IMPROVEMENT
Mr.. Isaac MengeI, the enterprising pro-
prietor of the "Mengel House," on Ju-
Llama street, has made vast improve
ments TO his well known public house.
The outside of the building has receiv-
ed a coat of beautiful paint; two elab-
crate arched doorways have been put
up, in which are hung lamps that are
ornamental as we'll as useful. The in
ternal improvements are of superior
kind. a new dining room has been
fitted up which is a model of taste
and convenience. The bar room has
been remodeled, and the old dining
room converted into billiard
room, and two excellent tables,
one a carom and the other four pock-
ct, have been placed in it. The whole
house has undergone a complete
change, and externally and Internally
is scarcely recognized as the same old
place. Mr.. Mengel deserves the credit
of the community, as well as that of
the travelling public, for the spirit of
enterprise manifested in the improve
ments made. We understand that Mr..
Mengel is about erecting a new billiard
room, as the present place proves too
small for two tables. When the new
building is completed, the bar room
will be put in the present billiard
room and the former will be fitted up
for gentlemen's reading room. The
Mengel House will then be one of the
best arranged and most comfortable
hotels in the country.
DARING DASH OF DEVILTBY.-Cdt
tie CAPTURED By Cunning Ctsses.-IHe
Taieues Taken IN Time. last Satur-
day evening the boldest piece of pilfer-
ing that was ever attempted in this
county, was committed within three
miles of this place. The facts as we
can gather them are about these; on
Friday, officer Defbaugh received a
telegram that two valuable horses had
been stolen in an adjoining county, and
that he should look out for the thieves.
The next day two suspicious looking
characters were seen loafing about town,
and Mr.. Defbaugh watched their move-
ments closely. lie communicated
these facts to Sheriff Steckman, who,
