over the glorious news from New York. while

Dear FTeemdn.-Mrs. Augustine Kirkpatrick
died at her residence near Plattville, SuSquc-
hanna township, on Saturday last. She was an
amiablc, Christian lady, and enjoyed the esteem
leaves Il bereaved husD band, an infant but two
weeks old, and several small chlldren-thc lat
ter to suffer loss they cannot now appreciate.
Peace to her uSheS.
/ am glad to be able TO state that Mr.. Carroll,
whom noticed a week or two ago as suffering
from il stroke of paralysis, is again able to go
about. He had II narrow escape.
Next Saturday week is the day fixed upon
Tor holding an election in conformity with the
proclamation of the Chairman of the Democrat
ic County Committed As the submission OF
the proposition to change the system of nOmi-
nations was undoubtedly looked upon by the
chairman of the committee and justly too, as
being in one sense demanded 10y the people, it
was at first thought that the people would take
a strong interest in the coming election. This,
however, Is not likely to be the case at least i'll
this section. if we are to judge from present
indications. There is one good result at any
rate that must flow from the action of the cOun-
ty committee in thus submitting the PROPOSE
tion of Il change, dnd that i that croakers ana
diSatrccted unsuccessful aspirants for office can
only blame the rutcTs of the county for not put
ting an end to the existence of the mythical
ring at Ebcnsburg and the vials of their wrath
may be poured upon the heads of the dear peo-
pie themselves, instead of upon any supposed
clique. Aside from this view OF the matter,
however, would urge every voter to tt"nd the
election and speak for himself Then he will
have after-chiding conscience to adInouisll
him of duty neglected

my statement, or if you do credit it, come any
how.
ON Monday. the 9th of June our friends of
st. Nicholas purpose holding Il grand picnic for
the benefit of their tasty new church. No one,
/ can promise. who will go there ON that day
will come away dissatisfied with himself for
having gone. Under the supervision of that
! energetic and greatly esteemed pastor. Father
Urban, no picnic, or aught else could be fail
ure. The CarrOlltown Brass Band will be in at
tendance. and this fact alone should induce all
lovers of music who can do 50 to attend. L.
