-old Mrs. Allio was in town ON

Saturday last, and walked around as
spry as q widow Of forty.fve. This
lady, who lives with her son, in the
Huddleson Settlement, in this county,
will be one hundred and one years of
age some time in August next. She
was interviewed in regard to the Cen
tennial. She said she believed she
would not go, as it was 50 far, she
might die on the way; and if she did
get there, il would be so crowded that
she couldn't breathe. Her husband,
une hundred years and five months
old, died last summer.
Col. Knox and another prominent
democrat of Clarion came over here
on Monday evening, on business. 1t
wasn't long before several of the
leading democrats assembled with
them in one of the rooms Of the Cen
tral House, and the rumor went out
that n democratic district convention
was going on for the purpose Of nom.
mating a candidate for Senator. 1t
was nothing of the kind, however {;
they were only agreeing upon how
they would explain their defeat in
November.
In the Warren Mail there are
announced two candidates for Con.
gress, one for State Senate, two for
Assembly, FIVE for Associate Judge,
seven for Sheriff, and two for Pro thon-
otary, all subject to Republican usa-
ges. These gentlemen we're all forced
ont by their friends, and so far as we
can find out, they are each and every
one sacrificing their individual vel
fare to the good of their country.
There will be at least thirteen them,
however, of whom this sacrifice will
not be demanded.
The nomination of Mr.. j. S. Ru.
tan for consul at Florence, will meet
with the same appreciation which en-
phatically marked the reception ol
Cameron's appointment to the head
of the War Department. Mr.. Rutan
is an able editor, an excellent and
honorable legislator, has won praise
from all sorts of people as speaker Of
the Senate, and will make an unex'
ceptionable representation at Flor
ence, if confirmed.
MIR. Jas. MCGEE, of Indiana, Pa
and his bride, spent a few days With
NJ. w. Tate, Esq, returning home or
Monday morning last. Mr.. Nc. is 9
brother of Mrs. Ta.e's, and is very
pleasant gentleman. His bride il
fair and intelligent, and their lives
bid fair to be happy and useful
While here, few friends were invited
to Mr.. Tate's house to meet there, anG
a pleasant little party was the result
Mr.. j. D. w. Reck he's placed u;
under obligations by presenting III
with fine mess of trout, which wer,
devoured with grateful feelings. Mr.
r. and S. Brandenburger had regu
lar old trout last week going from
here to Sheffield by rail, and thence
froating back here by boat, and fish
ing the trout streams on the way
They had fine time, and caught {
nice lot of fish.
The potato vines, as they appea
above ground, are covered with tha
striped, she'll backed pestilence knowl
as the Colorado potato bug. 1t i
prophesied, thus early, that the potst,
crop will be thin, on this account
We are inclined 10 believe, on accoun
of the bug starting in so close to tn
tuber, that he will eventually be car
ried off by tuberculosis.
The Baltimore Gazette (Dem.) i

tion, and says: "Ohio Democrat
