SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
Mr.. Thomas Stemples has just put full
set of green blinds or shutters on his new
brick house, on Cortland street. 1t pre-
seuts neater appearance than any house
in town and is certainly an ornament to the
neighborhood. May we soon have some
more like it.
Mr. J. H. Pile formerly of Ringgold,
Schuylkill county, having rented the large
and elegantly fitted store room in Stephen
Kistler & Bros new building, has opened
a well stocked store His goods are all new
and judging from Mr.. Piles business
capacity he knows what he is about. Conse-
quently he has bought his goods so as to
offer inducements to those who patronize
him.
Quite sad affair took place in East
Stroudsburg last week. 4 little over a
week ago, Mrs. Sarah, wife of Lewis Eel
lencer, was stricken down with Diptheria
in its worst form, and for some time her
life was almost despaired Of DR.. Mutchler
having been called in, rendered every
possible aid and finally succeeded in conquer
ing the disease, in the mean while both of
their only children were taken with the
Scarlet fever, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the Doctor being there 70 fight the
disease, the first one died on Thursday and
the other on Saturday. Thus they have
been suddenly left childcss and the mother
still PROSTATE All sympathizc with this
family in their deep atfiiction and bereave
ment. DR.. Mutchler was untiring in his
attention and we believe no one could have
done more to relieve and to save them
They were both buried in one coffin Inter
ment at Cherry Velley, last Sunday.
