Thomas Mitchell, formerly of Tilton-
vile, died suddenly ut his home in
Sa ngamon county, Illinois. last week.
He was buried at Scotch Ridge Church.
Mr.. NJ. WAS favorably known to many
Of our people.
We are sorry to record the fact that
our old friend John e. Tallman, Esq,
las suffered a serious relapse. Up till
Monday evening his case WAS very
promising but u serious complication
then set in which is threatening. We
still hope for his recovery. DIR. Frissel
Of Wheeling, was called in consultation
in his case ON Monday night.
Revival serv ices ara in progress in
both our Methodist churches. Rev.
Robbins fresh from revival scen at
Mt. Pleasant has charge of his own
church exercises, while Rev. Nc
Cleary is assisted by a number of breth-
rem from time to time. Mr.. Conway's S
myth" is being hurled about pretty
lively at both churches.
Rev. Brown, who was delegated by
a special revelation to convert West
Wheeling to the Mormon faith is dis
posed to retire from the contest. AT
first he seemed inclined ITO do it UP
n"-but-West Wheeling is u
hard nut to crack. 'Still, it will never
do to give it up 50 Mr.. Brown"
James Alexander has received let
ter from his son, Rev. James Alexan-
der, missionary 10 India, dated Bom-
bay, Dec. 25th, in which he reports
himself and family well, and one
thousand miles yet from his destina-
ton. Pleasant gales, and II happy long
life to you and yours, good frield!

port, Ind, fell through IA bridge above
Rainey's Coal Works, last Friday eve
ming, and dangerously injured himself.
He WAS taken to the house of Thomas
Donneliy. and thence to Bridgeport
where he now Is in very precarious
condition at the Belmont House.
The exact nature of the "choke
damp" OF coal banks was definitely
and scientifically determined the other
night in One of our grOcery's. One eX
pert declared sit was gditic acid that
collected in the banks that killed peo-
pie" Another rejoined, "Well, that
may have something TO do with il, but
it wouldn't do much harm unless Il
good deal of gum fOg,Wm was mfxej
with IT," If Sir Humphrey Davy had
only known that, he needn't have been
troubled to invent his Safety Lamp.
But Mr.. DAvy didn't live in our day,
and is, therefore, excusable.
The clothing store of Sam. Open
heimer WAS burglarized last week and
some 500 in goods abstracted. An en-
trance was effected in cutting out Il
portion of II large pane of glass, which
gave access to the bolt of the lock in
side. No clue to the robbers as yet,
who were evidently prepared with
wagon and doubtless confederates here |
to help them on,
"Our entire stock at greatly reduced /
figures" in front of Junkins d Medill's |
store don't indicate chat the goods are
worth better prices, But it does mean
that George Medill means not to be
mean by any IL cans, but to deport HIM
self in generOu, inien-all because it's
a girl and weighs about l pounds.
The Etna started up afresh on Mon
day-much to the qualification of its
operatives,
Isaac Davis, the Toll keeper at Gate
No. l, has given place to Mr.. Shook.
Mr.. Davis has moved back to Norris
town.
Everybody rejoices to see our genial
fellow citizen S. A. Junkins again on
the street, after SO long and painful an
absence. He cOntemplates engaging
in the dry goods and notion trade in
part of his old business house.
