Melvin Gardner is said to have
killed fourteen deer in ten days the
present season.
Last Saturday night was hard one
on house plants. Nearly all the plants
i'm town were frozen.
The salaries of school teachers in
Carbondale have been reduced 20 per
cent. Questionable economy.
The Commissioners have issued
their warrants to the Assessors who
will soon comence taking the assess
ment of the county.
The proposition to reduce the
salaries of the municipal officers of
Reading was rejected by the City
Council by vote of fifteen to
eighteen.
More deer have been killed this
season than in any one season before
and fears are entertained that the deer
will be driven from the country soon
unless some law is passed to reach the
case. 1t would be shame to have
the deer driven from the woods, and
we hope some action will be taken to
prevent the wholesale slaughter that
is now going on.
CIV. Gillis, o. B. Fitch, Geo. R.
Woodward, Philo Chrisler, John
OConner, and H. A. Head, formed n
hunting party which claim to have
done some tall hunting on Mill Creek,
from Tuesday, Nov. 2Sth, until,
Friday Dec. sth, ten days. The last
deer was killed on Monday, Dec. 4th,
after which time the party were en-
gagged "backing in" the deer killed.
Twenty-three deer were killed alto
gether, and this is claimed to be the
largest number killed by any one
party this year, in the same time.
Capt. Fred. Schoening's youngest
child, and only son, about two years
of age, died on Friday evening last.
Dec, Sth 1875, and was buried on
Monday morning last at st. Mary's.
The child died of diphtheria and is
the third child the Captain has lost
within three or four weeks. His re-
naming child is sick but hopes are
entertained that 1t will recover. Mrs.
Schoening is also sick with typhoid
fever. We in common with the
whole community, extend our heart
felt sympathies to Captain Schoening
in his terrible affliction.
Holes, Patent Chronometer Escapement.
On the I'd instant patent was
granted to our townsman Chas. Holes,
for an improvement in escapements
for chronometers, watches, &C. The
patent is owned by Mr.. Holes and
Geo. A. Rathbun jointly, and was OBJ
tanned by E. r. Mexican, Esq, OF
Washington, d. c., who prepared all
the papers. Only seventeen days
elapsed between the filing of the ap-
p,ication and allowance.
1t is not expected that the new in
vention will cheaper watches, but it
is claimed that the friction of the es-
capement is reduced to the smallest
amount and is always the same, and
that less handspring power will be re-
quired to run the watch.
THE NEWS WITHOUT Poiscs.-The Nc,U
York Observer claims to publish the
best family newspaper, and repudiates
all unsound or Objectionable teaching.
Even its advertising columns are free
from all quackery and dangerous adj
vertisements; and the whole paper,
both in its religious and its secular de-
partment, is filled with pure and ell
tertaining reading. While we conf
mend the position of the Observer in
this matter, we also heartily endorse it
as one of the most desirable peri
odicals for any household. The price,
SS,l5 year postpaid, can hardly be
made to return as much good, spent
in any other way. S. I. Prime & Co.,

"TWO CASES THO UGHT no BE
CONSUMPTION CURED.
DR.. Fenner's Blood and Liver
Remedy and Nerve Tonic is decidedly
the best remedy for Chronic Coughs.
In recent colds and coughs his I'M
proved Cough Honey readily cures.
But in coughs and lung and throat
diseases of long standing, the system
must be cleansed and regulated and
impressed with the healing influence
of the Blood Remedy. 1t places the
system in healing condition. Then
the Improved Cough Honey used
with it, readily causes long standing
coughs to yield. The following illus
trates its success in severe coughs;
