PERSONAL.
Our town of late has been honored
with visits from the Governor of Penn
sylvania and DR.. Agnew. The latter
named gentleman is familiar to all who
read, with anxious hearts, the condition
of our late lamented President. The
favorite resort, known as the "Club
Uuuse" seems to have it's attractions
both Winter and Summer. During the
heated season, the city gentlemen. with
their families. love to come to some quiet
home-lke place and indulge in fishing
and boating; in Winter time the graver
sex" come and while away the hours in
ducking, which affords both pleasure and
profit Mrs. Haddock, from Michigan,
with her son, is stopping at John b.
Graham Esq.
SANITARY.
Our town is still visited daily by the
medicine men, and the removal of
this fearful malarial attack seems to battle
their skill, and many have looked for a
change in the weather to effect cure.
Since the ushering in of November. how
ever, the change has arrived. We no
longer repine over sunshine, but wish
for one day of good weather, and it is
impossible for Providence to deal rain
and sunshine to suit all. If we could
contrive to keep chemical and mental
action under normal condition. we would
never be ill-we would die of old age.
