! Tie Johus,owu Democrat of las; week
mentioned the name of our old and esteemed
fello w-ciiiz-n, John Fenlon, Esq. in conn &c
tion with the Democratic nominations for

in the halls of legislation ,..is chosen one OF
the two members of the Legislature from
Little Cambria" he will be found true,
faithful aud efficient any one who has

Maggie Farrell, twelve-year-old niece
of Rev. John Boyle, pastor of the Church of
the Holy Name in this place, died OF infiam-
mstory rheumatism at the home of her pa
rents in Pittsburgh, on last Saturday after
noon. The deceased, who spent several
months in our town year before last, will be
! remembered by many of our people as a
modest, sweet-faced little girl, who was a
| universal favorite among her young asso-
! cistes, TO whom, well as to2all who knew
her only TO appreciate her winning ways,
she was greatly endeared. May she rest In
peace.
The concert on Friday evening last was
mnch more of an ovation than even tn. most

! aud instrumental music furnished on the oc-
| casion was for the most part well rendered
| but a more varied programme would no
doubt have given greater satisfaction. The
| singing of Miss Mollie Davis, the comic song
! by Doc. Thompson, aud the music by the
band were received with special marks of
. favor.
| Having failed to get good a bid as 1t
