Twenty-One delegates bolted from the

vention, Allegheny county, Tuesday, and
elected Messrs. DR.. Langfelt, Victor Pau
line and W. II. Cullers, delegates to the
state convention. They seem to have no

Chairman Miller to put them on the roll.

watch in two, and made desperate at
tempt to fling himself out of the window.
The physicians have but little hope of him.
Fifteen is ON the decline in Erie since Con-
roy's lunacy.

pretense from Luke Bush in Carrolltown,

after being dragged about sixty feet by

time of her marriage with Fuller, young
man of 90, in December last, was a pupil
at the girls normal school. The marriage
was forwarded by the efforts of an aunt,
the young husband being stepson to the

one, the parties being very uncongenial
in disposition, and almost from the first
day disagreements made their life un-
happy.
Patterson and Creden, of Middle VAL
ley, Wayne county, while intoxicated got
into dispute as to which was the stronger

match. While Patterson was holding him
down Creden plunged a knife into his

beyond the reach of medical aid. The
young men were we'll connected, good
friends and had previously borne excellent
reputatiOuS.
