LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.

Mrs. Cobb's school started up
again on Monday last. All danger
of smallpox is now thought to be
over.
MIR. j. T. Dale, who, in company
with Mr.. Jno. Jameson, is running
some wells in Butler county, came
home to vote last Saturday, and will
return to his labors this week. He is
looking and feeling well.
The School Board met on Mon
day evening last, and settled with
Fred. Kopman, who paid off the du-
plicate in full. Another meeting will
be held this evening, when the annual
settlement will be had
Perhaps it might be we'll to state
that the Fourth of July occurs next
week, and that, unless there is a pigeon
shoot, there will be nothing special 60
ing on in town on that day. We shall
issue next week, and take our vaoa-
ton the week following.
The building of sidewalks goes
bravely on, and would have much
further advanced had the weather been
favorable, but we have had so much
rain recently that it has been impossi-
bic to build sidewalks or do any out
door work much of the time.
Hon. w. G. Plummer was nomi.
mated for Congress on the Greenback
ticket, at the convention recently held
in MeadvilIe. There is no doubt but
he will receive the nomination in the
district, and be defeated in Novem-
Der.
Prof. Monday lost the first joint
of long pipe-stem in town last Sat-
urday, and it is of such a make and
shape that he cannot replace it easily.
If any one happens to find it they
will confer favor by leaving it at
this Office.
I'VE neglected to state in our re-
port Of the Democratic nominations
last week, that Maj. Jno. Peterson, of
Trunkeyville, had received the instruc-
tions Of the Convention for Congress.
We believe the Major does not con-
template making fight for the dis
trct nomination.
Somebody has been stuffing non
resident property owners, with the
idea that the present council is dis
eliminating against them in the mat
ter of building sidewalks. The idea is
a false one; all sidewalks will be put
in proper shape, and new ones built
where needed, as fast as Mr.. Foreman
can do it.
Mr.. Mcclure informs us that Mr.
Brooks at Brookston has telephone
in operation between his store and
Office, and that it transmits sound so
accurately that one can readily dis
tinguish any voice with which he is
acquainted. We are not aware oi
any other telephone being in opera
tion in the county. y

The exhibition was very fair one
with much the same programme al
last year, except that the tumbling
was not quite as good nor as varied
