Poor Directors of this county, held on Wed
nesday, Mr.. Isdore Lilly, the present stew
ard, was re-appointed for the ensuing year +,
aud Drs. j. j. Oa,man, of this place and A.
feag.ey, of Johnstown, were chosen as the
house and outdoor physician respectively.

MADE. We are glad indeed that Mr.. Lilly

the event of Tildeu's election, and the prob

the plow by the horns. Being physically
able and somewhat experienced in the busi-
ness, however, we feel sure that she wont
go back on her word if the occasion demands.

husband in the meantime we leave onr read

blessed with babies his task, It ia fair to pre-
sumo, will be comparatively light, although
he cannot hope to get through with his work
at a spanking rate.
