places, as we do for equal sized packages sent
to much greater distances, we declare em
phatcal!y that the fault is not with US but
that II must be with some one of those who
handle the mails between here and there
BESIDES, the packages sent in that direction
receive the same aG0nnt of attention each
week, and if they go through safely once
they csn go through safely ali the time, if
the mail bags are handled with any degree of
care. Henceforth we shall do more than
enough to secure their safe transit, and if we
hear any more complaints, we shall investigate
the matter and publish the name or names of
those who are at fault. Depend on this.
Another thing; there are more complaints
! about the non receipt of papers at the Loretto
othce than at all other post-Offces combined
/ Aside from the facts stated above, there is 70
excuse for this propOnderance, and we are sure
/ NE have not been remiss III our duty to the full
! extent complained of at least. So certain are
! We of this, that willing to be qualified
that one at least of the two papers said to have
| been missing last week was sent from this Of
tce, wherev er it may have ved to in it's ff-
teen mile journey via Cresson to Loretto.
AN AFFECTING SCENE 1t is not often that
/ deinnct canine enjoys the privilege of being
| buried with the honors of war. but such was
! the extreme felicity enjoyed by one of tho spe.
cies, we believe of the feminine persuasion, in
| this place 4 few days ago. AT least one of our
! most prominent citizens might have been seen
and was seen with rife on one shoulder and
/ the end of long rope across the other, the ex-
/ treme end of the rope eucirclng the neck of
/ Il dead dog, while the prominent citizen afOTe
said like Sut Lovergood's father, was playing
/ hoss,'' and bewailing as he went the dire
! cessity which had called fer the shooting to
/ death OF his favorite purp. The presence of
/ the rifle after the dog had been killed is OF
course our reason for supposing that the ami
mai WAS inferred with the hOnors of war, but
be that as it may, certain il is that the carcass
was dragged by our friend to the outskirts of
/ town, where ~e presume, if buried at ALL the
undertaken turned up the necessary Real Es-
| tate" with his own hands, and after taking
last affectionate Gazette" the inaninIate form
! before him, sadly consigned it TO mother earth,
| whence nc "bow-wow" OF her species will
ever awake her to glory again
Another Man KILLED.-The almost suicidal
! policy OF walking the railroad tracks when
such course could be avoided, is becoming SO
frequent and SO prolific of fatal accidents, that
! it bohooves every lover of his species to raise
! his voice In warning against the dangerous
| practice. AS the result Of this in most cases
iuexcusable folly, we are called upon this week
| to record another shocking and instantaneous
death. On Saturday night last an unmarried
man named VIM LitZinger, while on his way
home from Lilly's Station TO Wilmore, and
| while opposite Dysert's coal mine. ono and a
half miles west of the former place, met q
freight train going east, and stepping from the
| track to avoid it, got in the way of the mail
! train vest, the eng inc of which struck him on
the back OF the head and knocke ed him from the
track, crushing in his skull and breaking one
OF his legs, and otherwise mutiating his person
| The deceased was about 80 or 40 years of age,
| and brother-in- law of Nh. Lewis Rodgers,
| of this place. We believe he was employed as
a teanster by NJ essrs. Porter Kennedy, proba-
bly, to and from their steam saw mill IN Adams
! township.
Horse FAIR AT LoRETTo.-We have been
| requested to announce that grand horse iaIr
will be held at Loretto on Wednesday and
| Thursday, August 10th and l7th, and that
| every arrangement will be made to render 1t a
complete success. Fast horses from all sec
tions will have a chance to show their speed,
| and persons having horses of any kind to dis
pose Of will find good market at the time ana

OUR heroine sat on a mossy stone, beneath
an ancient elm, gazing upon the slippery rip
