The initial number Of the Clarion
County National, published at Eden
burg, Pa by T. w. West g. Son, has
reached us. II shows up very credit
ably on the start. Mr.. w. is an ex-
perieuced newspaper man, and fully
competent to give the citizens good
paper. We wieh him success in all
but politics.
The eclipse Of the moon on Satur-
dag night took place according to
program, and was witnessed by good |

time. He is here in the interest Of

it is rumored that q factory for the
manufacture of extracts, and possibly
full fedged tanuery, will be erected
in this vicinity before long. 1t seems
almost too good to believe, but we
patiently await the results.
