 We regret very much to learn that Mir George Gray of Hawleyville, is in such feeble health that he has been forced to quit work. He moved into house be longing to Mir. Booth Hawley, a few months ago and opened a shoe shop, and as long as he was able has striven to sup port his family, but at present he is in need of assistance, and is without means to provide himself with the necessaries of life, and to purchase medicines or pay for medical treatment. A few neighb. IS and friends have been kind enough to help them, but he is still in need and to the charitable an appeal is herein made, to help this deserving man, who is known to be sober and industrious and willing to work but is not physically able to do. All contributions sent to either George Gray direct, or to MT. Henry s. Hawley, Hawleyville, or to this office, will be thankfully received.
 There was some little excitement at the depot Tuesday, while Gov. Redstone of the Peoples Line, waited for the com- ing train. George Tyler, with his Wood bury stage was there also, as well as the hotel teams, waiting. Tyler has a GUS tom of feeding his horses in harness, and places the oats in a bag, slips string over the horses head and ties the bag up close around their mouths so that they can eat out of it. Tyler's horses were thus eating close beside Pomp, the Gov ernor's horse, when, Pomp waking up out of d gentle slumber, turned his head in time to catch sight of one of Tyler's horses who had thrown up his head to shake up the oats; the sight threw Pomp into action, and believing that he saw one of the mask burglars of which his master had so frequently read of to him, shook his head, snorted, turned around without much ceremony and ran at three minute and half gait, toward the street, when one of the railroad hands caught Pomp and restored him to the Governor, who was astonished to find Pomp so lively. Pomp ain't no horse to run at the cars when things are natural.
