The Elmra Free Press recently printed II
very affecting story about the discovery, by Il
printer named HARRISON MERRILL, at
Adams, Jeffersoa r,nnty. N. Y, Of his sisters
long-lost baby boy, who was kidnapped in
New York i'm 1876. The child was accident
ally found, in consequence of his close rcscm-
blance to his mother, and was taken away
from a Dutch basket-maker, after much
parley, accompanied with great difficulty.
The sisters name is Mrs. OLIVER JEFFRENs,
and she lives in Rochester. MERRILL Is from
Binghamton, and has mother and brother
living there now. He was formerly Wayrrl,
correspondent of the Republican.
All that's the matter with the story is i!lat
HARRISON MERRILL has no sister nhn@'l
Mrs. JEFFREYs; and she had no baby boy;
the baby boy never got lost in New York ;
and HARRISON never found it; and no child
was lost and found under the circumstances
described. In all other respect the story may
be vouched for az simon pure facts.--Btng-
hdmt0m Republican.

The fact that JAMES MCCABE was elected
Councilman on Tuesday, will not prevent
him from paying particular attention to his
mercantile bosiness, and his customers will
find him just as aflable and polite. now that
his "extravagant administrations has been so
emphatically endorsed, as heretofore. He is
not one of the kind to te ''puffed up by little
brief authority" He will make faithful,
economical, public servant, and at the same
time will continue to serve his customers
with the best quality of goods consistent with
the quality.
Quite an enjoyable affair came off at the
house ofJ. SCOVELL. in South Towanda, ,on the
evening of the 9th. The friends and neigh
bors to the number Of about twenty-five came
in unexpectedly to celebrate the 6Sth birth
day of "Aunt HARRIErT," as she is familiarlY
called. The table was bountifully spread
with all the Injuries the ladies know so well
how to prepare, and over it was a fe>toon of
evergreens, forming the figures "1S12," the
year of her birth. May she live to enjoy
many such reunions is the wish of all.-Re-
porter.
The following item copied from the Will
Transport Banner illustrates trait of
character which will not surprise any of our
citizens who are well acquainted with Mr..
Fox, but such instances are very rare:
"Ncarly four years ago Mr.. e. Il. Fox, of
TOwanda. took an active interest in efforts to
secure manufacturing establishment in
Athens. His undertaking was enc0uragedby
Il number of business men in that borough,
some advancing their subscriptions to further
the enterprise. Among the latter was Mr..
n. G. Harris, President of the Athens Nation
al Bank. The project, however, was not
success, and Mr.. Harris considered his 800
subscription among the unacounted for funds,
crcditing himself with so much enterprise,
satisfied that Mr.. Fox had done his part, and
that he could suffer his share of the expenses
in making so audablc an adventure. A short
time ago, however. Mr.. Harris received a
check for $122.50 from Mr.. Fox, covering the
principal and interest. Such a course is
deserving of special mention in these degener-
ate days

THE state of the public finances OF
Canada is exciting grave apprehenslons
among thoughtful people. The Domln-
ion government, the provinces, coun-
ties cities, and boroughs are day alter
day becoming more and more heavily
encumbered, and the situation IS aS-
gravated by the enormous increase III
carrying on the government under
Lord Carnarvon's mistaken system OF
federation, which has doubled the cost
without conferring any preponderatlng
benefit Unless a most exceptional
period of prosperity sets in, and keeps
in, Canada may within a very few years
anticipate one of the most thorough
pecuniary collapses on record. Dur
ing the past ten years the valuation OF
Montreal and other large cities has, so
lar from showing an increase, shown
very much the reverse.
