UNIONTOWN.

A NUMBER of persons in this vicini-
ty are quite i'll, and some of them are danger
ously So
AT THE ELECTION on tie 30th ult.,
the following gentlemen were chosen: Presi-
dent, David Branson; Clerk, Solomon Bent
ley; Treasurer, VIM. Caldwell; Directors, Jas.
Price John Caldwell, James Fisher and JOS
Morris.
THE REMAINS of Robert Miller were
brought from Pennsylvania and inferred in
the Methodist Burying Ground, at this place,
on Saturday last. He was in the employ of
the Dinsmore Bros, as Engineer, and his sick
ness was of brief duration.
Mr.. HENDERSON HAYS and wife
propose getting up box of provisions and
clothing for the Nebraska sufferers. Any
persons in doubt as to the propriety ofsubscri-
bing to this fund, can have their understand
ing enlightened by reading the 18th verse of
the Sd chapter of First Epistle of John.
SCENE two miles from town-Two
ladies with skates, seated on a log waiting for
the gentlemen toj join their company. Docy
Ann: There they come; don't look round
Melinda: Yes; tits HIS STEP: would know it
among thousandp Step advances to the
front. 1t belonged to tom hog who was out
looking up acorns.
Oh, GIRLS! HOW COULD YoU?-A
gentleman wishes US to give lis opinion con-
cerning some "St. Glairsville girls who laugh
ed at him when he called for his mail" He
had been to Wheeling with dead chickens
turkeys, and some cow butter, and a. the day
was very cold, he said he supposed he WAS
looking a little frosty We think we know
the girls, and if WE DO, their hearts are so full
of sunshine that it breaks out all over their
faces in smiles and merry ripples of laughter,
and we are willing they should amuse them
selves all next Saturday, by laughing AT US,
and in return we will endeavor to conjure up
some of our sweetest bachelor grins. We
cannot give the gentleman vie VS. Of the case,
but We are in duty bound to say to the girls,
beware. As in the days of the Prophet Elisha,
there are none of the Lucy kind of bears to
eat you-but you will come to some awful end
get married, or fall off bridge,or something.
S. S. L.-Again we repeat that we do
not conduct the correspondents column ofthe
CHRONICLE, but courtesy compels US to reply
A solitaire diamond. or plain gold band are
in good taste. If we were so FORTUNATE or
UNFORTUNATE as to become engaged, we
would endeavor to procure an opal. The va
riety known as fire opal is said to be the type
of the highest order of womanhood, calm on
the surface, but with the warm and crimson
waves OF love and devotion flowing beneath"
Mizpah is choice word for engraving. Can
you interpret? H.

WE clip the following from the Ohio
State Journal OF Monday, in reference
to one of our well known stockholders !:
Detective McEwen was coming over
the Pan Handle road last Friday night,
when he fell in with a drover named
Robert Frater, from Belmont county,
who was returning from the East after
selling two loads of stock. On his way
out from Philadelphia he had been
robbed of $3.50, which he had been
FATHER carelessly carrying in his over
coat pocket. A remarkable thing in
connection with the theft was that
the thief, after taking the roll OF money
out of the drover's pocket, placed a
newspaper in its place to deceive the
unsuspecting victim.
Mr.. Frater vas in town on Monday,
but did not make known his loss.
