ment that "the biggest nuisance in
East Brady was goat" and now all |
his exchanges are trying to make out
either that Sam, is goat or else a
bigger nuisance than goat.
--Prit. Agnew has a potato "bug-
GER" with which be brushes the bugs
off the vines into a nice little box, and
there keeps them until such time as
he may have enough to get up some
cremation exercises. The "bugger" is
said to be a great Improvement OH the
old method of taking them off by
hand.
"A road is being built along the
shore between Little Hickory and
East Hickory flats, to take the place
of the one which now runs along the
hill at heighth Of from twenty to
thrty-fve feet down to the river. The
upper road is considered dangerous,
and the new one is being put through
as rapidly as possible.
The primary elections for the
borough and township were held at
the Arbitration Room of the Court
House, and passed off quietly. AL
though the bars in town were not
closed, we noticed very few persons
under the influence Of liquor, which
is decided Improvement on primaries
held here within our recolect ton.
The Metzgar Brothers, who keep
a hotel at Irvineton and the Revere
House at Warren, are gentlemen with
whom it is pleasure to stop; they
do everything in reason to make their
guests comfortable, and set the best ia.
bles in this section. The Revere
House is new and complete in every
detail. Wo advise our readers to pat
ronize the Metzgar Bros.
As 10 the Eastern war the only
thing we can be certain Of is that the
Russians have crossed the Danube,
and that things look dark for the
Turks. AS to the dispatches and ac.
counts Of fights aud skirmishes, they
are so contradictory that it is useless
to try to keep the run of them. When
the war is over and peace concluded,
we suppose we shall know it.
-Wm. Moore, at Brookston has n
bear, brother of the one Mr.. Warner
used to keep at the Forest House. The
Brookston bear is considerably larger
than Warmers was when it left here
and latterly has been subject to fits OF
spasms of some kind, during which he
is somewhat cross. The nature of the
fits is not known. A change of diet
and location will probably bring him
out all right.
john j. Henderson, Esq, o
Meadville, who has received the nom.
ination for President Judge of Craw.
ford County, is an eminent and hon
able lawyer. 1t is altogether proba
bic that he will be elected. We know
Of no man III Crawford who is better
qualified, mentally, morally and legal
ly, for the position than Mr.. Hender
son. He has our very best wishes fol
his success.

r was called on Saturday evening last
, but no quorum being present, no bust
ness was done. The principal bust
ness which was 10 have been trans
, acted, was the passing of an ordinances
. prohibiting the carrying of nitro-gly
cerine through our borough. II is t.
be regretted that n quorum was no
, present, as the nitro-glycerine busines
+ is alarming our citizens greatly.

/ depot, one of the brakesmen who wa
1 coupling cars, had one of his hand
: caught between the bumpers and fear
e fuBS mashed. The flesh was tori
from the hand and wrist, making
It frightful looking wound. DIR. Blain
