The following from the Warren

Henry D. Grunder, one of the early
German settlers in this county, died at
the residence of his son, John Grunder,
i Pleasant township, on the Goth of
March, aged rs years. He was a ma
tive of Bavaria. In 1917 he came to
t lis country landing at Philadelphia.
In 1882 he removed to this place,
where he was we'll known and highly
respected for his earnestness, honesty
and sincere piety. A good man has
gone to his reward.
We hear that the First National

cure vault, fine finish, and all the mod
ern improvements and safeguards for
that kind of business. This institu-

the plan may be fully carried out.

Rising Sun, published at Emlenton /:
On Saturday night last the Drug
Store of j. Grosser, also used as an
Express Office, was entered by burg
lars who succeeded in extracting $50

means of false skeleton key. No ar.

that it would be a great deal more safe
for one or two individuals not to be
caught in the vicinity when anything
of the kind happens after this, If they

Some of the old editors of the
country, regular old fogies, who are
near sighted, are trying to make the
ladies believe that wearing low-necked
dresses produces sore throat. It's all
humbug, gotten up by those old TO-
gies who can't see.-Er.
We are not near sighted, nor yet so
old that we can't see, but we can see
enough ofa lady if she wears dresses
that come clear up and fasten close
around the throat. If the ladies can
brave the biting frosts and cutting
winds of winter, with the neck and
shoulders entirely bare, why, they're
tough, that's all we have to say.

On complaint of, woman that he
had insulted her, Mr.. j. B. Fetterer,
of Rouseville, was elected from the
$3.50 train going north, at this place,
yesterday afternoon, by the conductor

er rough manner, his coat being torn
completely off his back. While we are
not prepared to sreak of the truth of
the case, so far assthe alleged insult is
concerned, from long acquaintance
with Mr.. Fetterer, we do not believe
him capable of descending so low as
to Offer an insult to any one, much less
lacy. The affair will probably end
in law suit.

Death Of Miss Taney.

The death of Miss Ellen Taney, o.
Baltimore, one Of the daughters Of the
late Chief Justice, is a sad reminder OF
the time when she walked In beauty
among us, years ago. Her father was
then Secretary of the Treasury, and Mrs.
fancy, the sister OF Francis L. Key, the
author Of the Star Spangled Banner,
was most charming woman. A cluster
OF lovely daughters made their house
delightful, and Miss Ellen was 80 beauti-
ful that her appearance in public created
a great sensation, and persons crowded
near 10 see her. Soon after she grew up,
a severe accident happened TO Mrs.
Taney and Miss Ellen declining various
offers Of marriage, devoted herself to the
care of her suffering mother. Mrs,
Taney died, and the Chief Justice, feeble
and declining, demanded and received
the most devoted care from his daughter
The remarkable change in the fortunes
of the Taneys from anluence to almost
poverty, has produced a profound sym
pathy. The Chief Justice was Roman
Catholic; his wife was an Eplscopalian.
1t was agreed at their marriage that their
sons should be educated in the church Of
their father the daughters in that of the
mother. No son lived beyond infancy,
but the daughters have lived to grace
the society OF Washington and Balti-
more. Chief Justice Taney admins
tered the oath Of office to nine Presi-
dents and Vice Presidents and for thirty
years held the Office of Chief Justice OF
the United States.
