John G. Biery, who so calamity fought
for the Assessorship at the late election, and
whom, no one, prior to the announcement
of the blessed result could possibly have per-
suaded to believe his election to have been
assured in the face Of his formidable opposi-
ton, but who won the victory, and deserves
great praise for his intrepidity in a supposed
forlorn cause, was around during the week
hunting up the boys that have become three
times seven.
Evidently the borough authorities have
seen the necessity of immediate improve
ment in pavements. A substantial stone
walk has been laid between Kistler's and
Vogt's stores. 1t is the rightthing in place
where numerous pet mud-hole aggravated
the average "wayfqrer," and in all probable
ity forced him to breathe q silent oath as his
weary feet came down "lSersplash" after he
had concluded that he had just gone through
the last. 1t is not safe to walk down what
is occasionally called White street at night
owing to the fact that there are SO many
holes and broken places in the pavement.
They are sadly in need of repairs, and it is
a promise Of the authorities to see that they
are made.

Joseph Connor of this place, employed
as a brakeman on the Lehigh Valley rail
road, met with an accident on Friday night
last, and died on the day following. He
went out as an irregular on the Empire train,
and at Bethlehem was in the act of coupling
cars when his arm was caught between the
bumpers. Amputation was considered un-
necessary, and he was left to suffer the ex-
cessive pain which proved too much for him
to endure. AS stated before he died on the
following day, aged Ga years. The funeral
took place on Thursday afternoon Of this
week. IKE.

that earth is mans only abiding place.
1t cannot be that our life is a meare

hold their festival around the mid

of our limited faculties, forever mock
