with his relatives near Niagara Falls,

The difficulty over the mail carry.
ling services at President has not yet
been adjusted, and the citizens are oblig-
led to get their mail as best they can. 1T
seems some smart Aleck has taken it
into his head to save the Government
$40 or $50 year, and cheat the Pres

"A fatal accident occurred near
ILuper's mill, short distance beyond
ITylersburg, Clarion Co., on Thursday
last. The victim was a five.year-old
son of Herbert Joslin. The little boy
was with his father, who was hauling
logs to the mill, and was playfully
Irunning ahead Of the team, when the
wind blew a tree down which struck
him and fractured his skull, and
bruised him badly otherwise. He
lived about three hours after the acci.
dent. The little boys name was
George.

,Governor of Ohio without a doubt.
He made similar prediction two
years ago and it turned out so; hence
I'VE must accept him as a true prophet.
During his stay Mr.. Sinclair made
many new friends who will be glad to
meet him often.

the better it will suit the G. B. ring.
