Where angels, whose faces outshine the
suns ray,
Sing praises eternal, with harp and with
psalm,
There Nellie was brought, on the eve of
Chrisrs birthday,
And laid, as gift, at the feet of tho
Lamb.
Little Nellie was the favorite of
everybody. AS she neared deaths
portals she said to those around her
that she was going to seek her two
little brothers," who had preceded her
but a few days. G.
Rev. Eaton's Lecture ON the 2Sth
ult., was a success, so far as the lee
ture was concerned, but we are sorry
to say the audience was small. How
ever, we believe all who attended we're
highly entertained, as his descriptions
of the Holy Land were excellent, and
the only fault we could find with the
lecture was its length. Mr.. Eaton
spoke but little over one hour, and,
indeed, we believe the entire audience
would gladly have listened to him at
least as much longer. 1t is our desire
to hear him again before long.
We have received Centennial
Calendar from the Home Insurance
Co, of New York, which is the most
artistic thing of the kind that has
ever been issued. Each sheet is Illus
trated by some scene of the Revolu-
tionary war, and description of the
same is printed on the back of the
sheet. Each picture is fine chrome,
and the calendar will undoubtedly be
preserved for years by all who were
lucky enough to receive it. The
Home Ins. Co., We believe, is not rep
rethissented in place.
Yesterdays Derrick says that boy
by the name of Darby was struck by
a train in Cory last Friday and so
seriously injured that the amputation
of one of his arms was rendered
necessary. He stood by a moving
train letting his hands slide along on
the cars, when by some means he was
struck and rolled under the wheels.
An interesting game of base ball
was played in Oil City on New Years
Day. And very pleasant excursion
was had on Chautauqua Lake, on the
same day, by about 500 persons, on
the steamer Col. Phillips. Something
very unusual for this season of the
year in this latitude.
Charles Bonner, who returned
from the Western University at Pitts
burgh one day last week, left again on
Monday for Westminster College
Lawrence county, Pa, where he ex'
poets to remain at least three months
Pittsburgh, he thinks, is a little toe
dirty for good, solid comfort.
Senator Thomas and Representa-
tive Agnew and family, departed fol
Harrisburg last week, where the gen
tlemen will take their respective sta
tions in the Halls of the Legislature
The interests of this equity should be
well looked after this winter, and We
suppose will be.

Our retiring county officers have
we believe, without exception, fulfilled
the duties of their offices to their OWE
credit, and to the satisfaction Of the
taxpayers of the county. And we
