UNIONTOWN.

Mr. HENRY TAYLOR, sR., is lying
very i'll, and his recovery is doubtful.
Mr.. Taylor has suffered many and great
Affections, but has borne them with
christian fOrtitude, and always Strove to
be cheerful and pleasant. Many per-
sons have been entertained by the intel
ligent conversation of Uncle Henry"
as he was familiarly called in his loeali-
ty.
THE death of Miss Maria Laisure,
which occurred last week, was a sur
prise to many, as her illness was of
brief duration. Rev. T. j. Milford con-
Quoted religious services, and Mr.. j.
Walker, of Flushing, furnished the cof-
fin, and had charge of the funeral ar
rangements. Those who employed Miss
Laisure speak of her as being faithful
and industrious, and ever ready to do
what she could in sickness or distress,
and of cheerful kindly nature.
As OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE has
been irregular, we failed to make men,
ton of many who were sick and have
now have been restored to health. There
were ore or two cases of diphtheria, and
many suffered also from the effects of
various other diseases. DIR. Workman
now informs me that his patients are all
doing well and in fair way to recover
health.
QUITE severe storm of wind, rain
and hail passed over this place on Satur-
day evening last, and which was limit
ed to a small area of country. The DEM
ocratic primary was in session at the
time, but the storm would likely have
occurred any way. r. E. Chambers re-
ceived the vote of this township.
THE sympathy of the community is
extended to Mr.. VIM. Lodge in his re-
cent affiiction. His is a sympathizing
generous nature, when others are in
trouble, and his friends can not but re-
gret when he is called to suffer.
CHARLIE COPELAND was the biggest
boy at his house until few evenings ago,
when splendid new boy baby was pre-
sented him. Everybody congratulates
Charlie, and his mug of happiness is
about full.
BENTLEY & COPELAND shipped, as
they state, the first new wheat of 1881.
1t was shipped a week earlier than has
as yet been reported.
THE illness of DIR. J. B. Johnston
causes feeling of sadness in the hearts
of all who knew him here, and they
will ever pray for his speedy recovery.
"A good man and a just" may he long
be spared to enjoy the society of his
family and friends.
