no Society this week on the same ac-
count.
The freight received at the Depot
now is just about the same in amount
as that received at this time last year.
There was falling off during autumn
last of about one.fourth, but it appears
that business has revived. This is a
sign that the times are getting easier
in this section.
Geo. Hunter and Thomas Mack |
had discussion which extended from |
Robinson's store to the Central House,
the ground having been gone over sew
eral times. A clinch was eventually
arrived at, and unfortunately for Geo.
he fell under. The combatants were
parted before much damage was done,
and nothing but few handsful of
hair remained on the spot to tell of
the struggle which had taken place.
Alex. Mcclure was snubbed by
w. A. Wallace in the Senate last
week, the latter taking occasion 10 say
that Alexis influence with the Democ-
racy had played out. Poor Mcclure,
he is now ON Ishmaelite wandering
around among the scenes of his for
mer glory, "his hand against every
man, and every mans against him."
1t is altogether probable that he will
retire from public life when his term
as Senator expires.
Those smokers of our place whose
time has heretofore hung heavily upon
, their hands, have found means of
making their leisure hours pleasant,
. and in some degree, profitable. They
hire small boy to go out and dig
2 them up a lot of the roots Of the
E laurel, and out of them manufacture
3 pipes that resemble" aothing in Heaven
{: or on the earth, nor in the waters un-
. der the earth" They have a supersti-
D ton that these pipes taste sweetcr than
D those procurable for lucre. May their
D delusion in this respect be lasting.
The report of the State Commits
sioners of Fisheries for 1873, came to
= hand last week. A good work is being
y done by these gentlemen in stocking
y the waters of the eastern part of the
y State with desirable varieties of fish.
y This is well as far as it goes, but il
y y there is any reason why their opera
y tions should be confined to the East
y exclusively We would like to know it
} Stock the Allegheny with some of these
: new varieties Of fish, and we will bet.
J. ter appreciate the usefulness of the
Commission.
Ne The office Of the Petroleum Cen
ire Record was recently sold by the
Sheriff. This is n case where nobody
!. was to blame but the editor, and hi.
4 fault was that he run his paper in tina
q. place long after it ceased to pay ex
n penses The Record was live papcl
=, long after Petroleum Centre was {
dead town. If ever man deserved
"A to succeed, that man was Wicker. l
10 is our hope that he may break out il
w a new spot soon, with paper such a
70 he is capable of running, and may HI
90 place us on his exchange list.
