INGDON PAPERS
There appears TO be nothing a man is
SO sensitive about as the spelling of
his name. lie will spell it il the mos;
outlandish manner, violating every rule
of orthOgraphy, but the moment you
fail to spell it as he does, though you may
exhaust all the knogn rules Of orthog-
raphy, he gets as mad as hornet
There is old Eyler, just because we
spelled his name "l!e-r," and he bad
once Gabbied in and sold his neighbors
worthless oil stocks, swears to stop the
oil on us and "put out our light.
The old fraud
On Saturday last about noon, two
boys, one a son of Mr. Frank Garlech,
dec and the other a son of Mr.. Mi
chael Snyder, residing on Moore ST.,
were gathering coal along the railroad
near the Coal " harf, and after having
loaded tLeir sleds, lef, them standing
on the bank Of the mIl-race, near the
railroad bridge, and both got on the
ice, which broke through and they we're
swept under by the current, which is
pretty swift al this point. \ little boy
who was on the bank called to the
ha'ds working at the coal wharf, but
before they could render them any as
slstance, they had sunk, and had float
ed down the race several yards TO an
air Eoie, where their bodies were re-
covered, after having been in the water
hal: an hour. They we're taken to the
residence of Mr.. 4. j. Africa, residing
near, where everything was done to
resuscitate them, but the vital spark
had fed. The boys were respectively
aged | | and II years. Their remains
were inferred in the cemetery on Sum
day last. The parents Of the little un-
fortunates have the sympathy of the en-
tire community.

for any one to keep their feet. 1t was
his luck to fall in p1ddle of cold wa
