When Rohinsop g. Bonner came


the spring of 1872, they brought with
them cat, called Frank" This
cat they had gotten when a kitten, at
Mahoning, in 1862, and the move. to
this place, was its first change of res
idence. After Mr.. Robinson settled
here, Mr.. Bonner, his partner, moved
to Stoneboro. In the fall Of ~ the
cat was missing, and nothing was ever
heard of it until few days ago, when
il turned up, alive and we'll, at Mr.
Bonner's, in Stuneboro. 1t immedi-
ately recognized, and was recognized
by all the members of the family, and
has the run of the store at Stoneboro.
Now, can any one explain how the
cat ever found its way to the home of
its old master, who had moved 90 to
as miles from the only home it ever
knew except this placei Of all the
wonderful cat stories we have ever
heard we believe this takes the lead.
The correctness of this item will be
vouched for by Mr.. Robinson.
Miss Sibyl White, who recently
died at Marshfeld, Mass, was the last
member of the White family which
occupied the homestead Of Peregriue
White, the first Englishman born in
New England, though she was obliged
about ten years ago, as she was left
alone and advancing in years, to sell
the place which had been in the pos.
session of her family from the time of
their ancestor. Some three years af-
terward the well.known apple tree,
planted by Peregrine, was Frustrated
and destroyed by storm.-E.
The May family of this place are
defendants of Peregrine White, and
have a watch in their possession which
Peregrine's father brought over from
England, description of which watch
we gave few years ago.
Some time since, We made men
ton of a borough ordinance which
was passed some years ago, regarding
the weighing of coal sold in town.
This ordinance has never been repeal
ed and inflicts a penalty of FIVE dol
lars each upon buyer and seller of
coal which has not been weighed pre-
vious to sale. Burgess Reck has post
ed notices to the effect that he intends
to see this ordinance enforced. So
buyers and sellers viii take notice,
and act accordingly.
While some journals criticise the
Moody and Sankey revival, as not
possessed of real influence and power,
others, like the New York Tribune,
declare that it is exerting widespread
and beneficial influence. 1t is, of
course, very difficult to rightly esti-
mate such movements, unless we are
within range of personal observation,
and as the New York press speak so
favorably of the work, it is very prob
able it is both genuine and extensive.
Tho Western Onion Telegraph
Company,fJ. II. Zones, President, Jas.
Zones, Secretary. and jim. Zones,
Treasurer, has put up a line in this
place. extending from the Drug Store
of the President to the residence of
the Treasurer. Rates as low as any
other line. No monopoly about this
business. The granger and mechanic
are to have the benefit of low rates,
and no middle men. "There's millions
in it," .a.t.
1t commenced showing yesterday,
and shortly after the first fakes touch
ed the ground, young fellow came
rushing into our Office and asked us if
we would publish an appropriate piece
of poetry. We asked to see it, and
he handed us a piece clipped from
some last winters paper. We glanced
at the first line, which read,
"rhe snow, the snow, the beautiful snow."
Then we shot the young man. No
cards.
In 1868, when we came to this
place, Shriver & Sawyer run a plan
ing mill in the building back of the
Lawrence House. Next the building
was idle for some years. Then Mr..
