MIR. Jonas Harshberger, of Scalp Level,
Klchland township, was either choked to
death by piece of meat while eating dim
ner at the hotel of Sir. Geo. Conrad, in that
place, on Friday last, or else died of heart
disease. Both causes have been assigned. and
we can't say which was the right one. We
don't think eating meat on Friday is very
healthy anyhow, though many people differ
with us on that subject
The cows and the hens seem to have
caught the suspension disease from the
banks, for fresh butter and eggs are as scarce
here and elsewhere in this bailiwick as law
yers are supposed to be in heaven. The fall
ing off in eggs, however, will no doubt be
overcome as soon as the Democratic roosters
get done Growing over the recent election.
1t couldn't of course be expected that hens
would attend to business when there is so
much emusic in the air.

Harry Rod GerS son pF Mr.

day, and came home shot. He and little
associate having 'treed" "grounny'' in a
brush heap, Harry went in to scare out the
game while his 'butty" stood ready to do

furnished by an accident which befel two
young ladies in MiIlvilIe, ON Friday even

the floor of an clubhouse to give way, thus

on other shoulders than those of Judge
POTTS. it is admitted that no better selec-
tions could have been made for the positions
of Associates, both being competent, reli-
able and trustworthy.

so cheap that you'll wonder the while that
pictures at the price can be made in such
