child have been discovered. No one
seems to doubt but that the child was
drowned, and if the creek should not
freeze up it is probable tie body will
be discovered when the water falls.
That such may be the ease is the fer
vent wish Of all our citizens.
Clarion couuty's Republican Com
mittee had meeting last week aud
endorsed Forest Couuty's choice for
Senatorial delegate to the State con-
vention, f. l.. Davis, Esq. AS the
position belongs to Forest County this
year, according to party usages. the
other counties in the district will
doubtless also endorse Mr.. Davis.
The Convention will meet in Harris
burg one week from to-day.
Last week, in speaking of Mr.. &
Mrs. Wolcott's silver wedding, we said
it would be the first ever held in this
place, and therefore, told what wasn't
so. The late lamented Hon. j. A.
Dale and lady celebrated their silver
wedding year or SO previous to the
Judges death, an important event
which was attended by upward of a
hundred guests, but which escaped
our memory when writing the item in
last weeks issue.
"A final decision has been render
ed by the Supreme Court in the Maine
muddle which knocks the last prop
from under the fusionists. Speaking
Of the case the Derrick this morning
says: "The decision of the supreme
court of Maine is unfavorable to the
fusionist body, and the republican leg
islature is decided to be the only legal
one in the state of Maine. Now let
the former go home and get ready for
planting potatoes in the spring, and
prepare fol. .the,presidential campaign"

-Messrs. Davy Hilands, r. w.
Bacon, Dad Hulings, Jim Carson aud
Dau. Agnew, who were up in the beech
woods netting, or trying to net pigeons,
returned on Monday. They report the
birds pleaty but hard to "hail." Some
Of them will return in a few days and
give them ANOTHER trial. They say the
pigeons are increasing in number but
have no regular course of flight. Some
very nice hocks passed ovel this place
Monday and Tuesday mornings of this
week. There's one consolation in this
kind of weather; if we can't have
sleighing we can have pigeons.
