...Laborers are engaged in erecting tenn
porary belfry for the new bell Of the COngre-
gational church, which arrived here last De
cember, but could not be swung sooner ow-

We were mistaken last week as to the
location OF Mr.. p. J. Sanders, one oS the as
pirants for Poor House Director on the De
rnocratic ticket whom We credited to Al
Iegheny instead of Munster township. This
makes two seekers after that Office in the
latter township, with several precincts yet
to hear from, and the indications are that
quite spirited contest will take place be-
tween the friends of the respective candi-
dates Well, all we have TO say is, that if
there is any difference between them, or
between any of the sspirants, we hope the
best man may win.
