The funeral OF an infant child Of John
Rnber took place here on Tuesday. Services
were conducted by Rev. Miller, OF the Evan
gelical church.

Miss Carrie Buck, daughter Of Charles
Buck, died of erysipelas on Wednesday.
On Monday Of this week the canal
bridge crossing to East Weissport took fire.
The sensation occasioned by the alarm
brought number of persons to the scene
The flames were speedily quenched.
Mr.. Scott Groot left here on Monday
for Buck Mountain, to take charge of an Of
flee at telegraphy. The many friends of
Mr.. G. miss HIM very much. We wish him
success in his now field Of labor Life's
path is full Of stepping stones-some leading
TO honor, some to fame, some to usefulness
and wealth, and some to life everlasting. In
other paths some lead to utter disgrace and
contempt. We can safely say that Mr.
Groot will not step upon unsafe stones, but
will touch those that are firmly planted in
virtue.
Here and there in our town we learn the
sad news that somebody is sick Among
the number of sick are Josiah Ruch, Rev.
Freeman, F. l.. Raber, and Erwin Fenner,
who are complaining of pneumonia and
lung fever, caused by sudden attacks OF colds
1t is sincerely hoped that the sickness of
such may not prove fatal but death is on
its march, and it may be only a short time
before the end will come to us as it has TO
those gone before. Only little while, and
tue throbbing heart will be still, the busy
brain will cease to plan, and the active hand
will lie passive, the gap of loss made for
brief time will be filled, and songs and
laughter fall from the lips we were wont to
caress. Joy will take place of mourning,
and we shall be forgotten; but each word
and act of our short sojourn will influence
the future life for which we are preparing.

Great alarm and agitation prevail in
the vicinity OF New Ross on account of
the mystery and evidences OF organiza.
ton surrounding the Boyd Outrage.
The disguiscs OF the perpetrators were
so perfect that Identification Is unlike.
ly. Marked attention has been drawn
to the fact that the weapons abandoned
by the murderers are Enfield rides bear.

House OF Commons on Monday, Sir
Stafford Northcote called attention to
the New Ross outrage, and stated tina,
the guns used were the long Enfield RI
fies with bayonets. Mr.. Forester.
chief secretary for Ireland, said the late
government had ordered tho sale Of
some Enfield rifles, but the present gov.
eminent had stepped their sale. The

Murat iIaisseaA does fsr Ensii.h.

In n letter to the New York Herald
Murat Halstead, Of the Cincinnati
Commercial. nercely assails the unwis-
dom of Mr.. w. II. English's nomin-
alton at Cincinnati, and categorically
charges as follows:
l.. The nomination Of Thomas A.
Hendricks by the Cincinnati convent
ion for the presidency was FIRST and last
and all the time manifestly and motor
iously impossible.
2. That with the consent and help Of
Hendricks the nomination OF Senator
Mcdonald could have been made, and
that Hendricks. though urged upon
this point, failed TO respond, while Nc
Donald, who stood by Hendricks faith
fully, was most unreasonably assaulted
and abused.
5. That the nomination of Engllsh
was Tilden's revenge and Hendricks
humillation-an artistic job OF spite
work, to which the Indiana delegation
coldly consented, partly because they
were In n helpless position, and partly
because they were disguised with the
dog-in-the-manger policy OF Hendricks.
4. That English does not strengthen
the ticket in Indiana, but weakens Il,
because aside from the fact that no re-
presents cold-blooded and reckless 70
venge, he Is intensely unpopular and
held to be bitter and narrow.
He concludes his letter with these
words: at Is my Judgment that tho
democracy have provided for them
selves, through their personal and polit-
ical entanglements-their green-eyed
and green-backed monsters-the condi-
tions Of defeat In Indiana In October,
and, therefore, the loss Of the president
ial election"
