Owing to the destruction by fire of
the Danville, (Pa.) Insane Asylum
about 400 patients were placed in the
new hospital at Warren during the
past week.
1t seems that the Ben. Hogan we
mentioned last week as having been
killed in saloon in Arizona, is not the
Ben ofpogilistic notoriety. He is now in
New York carrying on his work as
revivalist, endeavoring to do good for
the Lord, so he says.
Bro. Carpenter has hung a new
and attractive sign in front of bis
picture gallery. While others come
and go, Mr. G. pursues the even tenor
of bis way, never allowing a little
opposition to disturb him in the least
Now is the time to secure the shadow
ere the substance fades" Give him a
call.
Our new Coroner, Mr.. G. H.
Church, lifted his commission and was
sworn in yesterday. The emoluments
of the Office are not very great,
scarcely amounting to the commission
fee, but Mr.. Church felt that he owed
it to the friends who honored him with
such large support last fall to take
out his commission, and he accordingly
did SO.
Mr.. Calvin Arner and family are
surely receiving their share of trouble.
On Wednesday last their youngest
child, Minnie, aged about eleven
months died, which, coming so seon
after Mr.. Arner's misfortune, is sad
indeed. The stricken parents, we
hope, will take comfort and consola-
tion from the fact that in their sorrow
and sffiiction they have the sincerest
sympathy Of their many friends, and
remember that "Whom the Lord
loveth He chastenSth.
Some times when We gaze out of
the window and see the bright sun
beating down on the surrounding hills
We make up our mind that spring has
come, and i'm mediately throw open
the stove door. When we turn around
again, however, and look out and see
the clustering, binding snow we clam
shut the door again and eettle down to
the conclusion that this sun of York
is not making much headway on the
winter of our discomfort, in the way
of Transforming it into glorious sum-
ner, &C.. &c.
On Wednesday last a special car
took Mr.. John Hunter to his home in
MillvilJage, Erie County. He was
accompanied by his brother, George,
and other members Of the family, DR..
Blaine going along to minister to bis
medical wants. The Doctor did not
deem it advisable to make the trip,
but Mr.. Hunter was bent on going,
and so the Railroad Company fur
nished special car for his conven.
fence. The trip was made in safety
and at last accounts Mr.. H. was doing
quite well.
