sudden Death of Mrs. Collins McGregor,

Sudden Death of Mrs. Collins McGregor.
Mr.. Collins McGregOr and the three
daughters at home were terribly shocked
on Saturday evening last by the sudden
and unexpected death of Mrs. McGregOr.
The family were just about ready to sit
down to supper when the old lady step
ped into the buttery for something. She
was heard to fall, and in falling closed
the door by falling against it. Entrance
had to be made first by window and
when reached she was dead. Language
fails to express the feelings of the
family. A physician was got as soon as
possible, but he said if he had been
there at the time he could have done
nothing. She had been in excellent
spirits all day, knitting and moving
about the house humming her favorite
hymn, "The Sweet By and Bye" She
was month or so over seventy-twO
years of age, and just four weeks before
was celebrated the tifty-frst anniversary
greatly. Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson, the
other daughter, and residing at Alli-
ance, were notified by telegraph, as
were the other friends. The funeral
took place on Tuesday afternoon from
the family residence in the west part of
the city, north of TuscaTawas street, and
was largely attended by relatives, friends
and neighbOrs. Rev. Osborne, of the
First M. E. Church, officiated, and the
concluding hymn was, "The Sweet By
and Bye" Deceased had been a mem
ber of the Methodist church for sixty
years, having joined at GTeensbuTg, Pa.
when girl of twelve. Mrs. McGregOr
was ever the faithful wife and good
mother, in fact, the devoted domestic
woman. We sympathize with the be-
reaved ones, knowing their great loss,
and their suffering hearts.

Dan Blum, the barber, had an addition
to his family last Saturday, and before
that event he made large bets that it
would be boy, and had made provisions
to put in new chair for his use. But
the Fates rule, and Dame Nature furn-
ished handsome young lady instead.
Although Dan appreciates the blessing,
he has very little to say when the boys
ask him "now is the boy getting alOng?"

We learn that Mr.. John Trump, who
resides on his fine farm on the Louis
vile road just outside of town, has
cheerfully paid the two fire companies,
steamer and No. 8, $40 for services for
the use of engine, and city team So, ma
king total of $4S. This was for servi-
ces rendered some four weeks ago when
his straw stack got on fire and endan-
gered his large barn. OF course the
tiremen saved the barn, and it took !, Ala
feet of hose to reach the creek branch
that runs from Louisville.

At the last meeting of the Inirmary
for burying the three smallpox cases
that died out of the Lackey family.
There being some question about the
prOpriety of allowing the claim, action
was deferred until the next meeting, in
order to examine into its merits. Mr..
Barber, a member of the Board, states
that as the parties doing the burying
were underTegular pay,the charge is ex-
orbitant, and should not be allowed.

Rev. Talmage in his sermon this week
says that moving day is fearful strain
on mans religion, and the grace
suitable for the 1st Of January will not
do for the 1st of May, New York's NOV

prayers that morning if they find moth
paper of carpet tacks to kneel on. The
reverend gentlemen has evidently
"been there" and recognizes the great
need for especial grace in such misht
stOve-pipe times.

There was no session of the City
Council on Monday night, no quorum
being present. "At the usual hour of
half-past seven" the announcement was
made from the chair that there being
only seven members present, the COun-

Monday. There were several Council
men down stairs, smoking cigars and
talking about the Pond law, but, judg-

in no hurry to report above, so the meet
ing went by default. We thought we

Using DeleterIous Corn Beef
Last Saturday evening Mr.. Julius
Balm, living on Chestnut street, bought
several pounds of corn beef at DumOnt's
grocery, and when he brought it home
his wife ate a small quantity and was
taken sick that night, but nothing was
thought OF 1t. The next morning at
breakfast the father and two daughters
ate heartily of the meat and were taken
so sick that doctor was called, who
pronounced 1T case of poisoning and
used antidOtes, so that the family are
now recovering, although still weak.

CURED on Tuesday, being family con-
slstlng OF Joseph Baker, wife and sou,
ana nine bOarders, who work on the

mont Us on Tuesday morning and was set
out FOR dinner, all eating freely, after
Whlch the men went out to their work,
but all returned in the afternoon yery

In similar manner. The SYMPTOMS

Paul Field and wife also received a dose

he at once destroyed the entire lot and
no further danger is to be apprehended.

| The Cleveland Herald says: When Mr..
Z. q. Patterson, general manager and
| contractor of the COnnOttOn and
Straitsville roads resigned, there were
hints more or less vague that he
had been guilty of at least gross care
lessness in the application of funds fur
/ niShed him for the construction of the
road. On the 7th of April Mr.. Patter-
son addressed letter to Francis Bart
lett, president of the company, request
Ing an examination, at Mr.. PatteTsOn's
| expense, into the accounts of cOnstruc-
tion. In response to that invitation the
| following report is now made public:
BOSTON, May 4, 1882.
To the Executive Committee of the Con-
notion Valley Railway Company:
Gentlemen-l was requested, at the
suggestion of Mr.. Charles G. Patterson,
to examine his accounts in the cOnstruc-
tiOn of the "COnnOttOn Northern" and
"COnnOtton Valley and Straitsville I"
Railroads, and report to you the net
amount of expenditures for said roads,
together with the percentage it bears to
the par value of the bonds delivered to
MIR. Patterson on account of said con-
structiOn.
After careful examination of the
accounts and vouchers at Mr.. Patter-
sons office in Boston and at the Com
panys office in Canton, o., l am able to
make the following report:
l. Total amount of disbursement,
from Mr.. PattersOn's office in Boston, on
account of the COnnOttOn Northern, and
COnnOttOn Valley IL Straitsyille rail-
roads CfOr all of which he has furnished
me approved vOuchers-see schedule O.,
$948, 8,S85.31.
2. Amount sent A. B. Proal at Can
ton, o., for disbursement there on the
above roads (fOr all of which Mr.. PrOal
has furnished me full and satisfactory
YOuchers-see schedule Az, $1,1743OO12.
3. Amount sent to William A. Lynch,
of Canton, Ohio which Mr.. Lynch ac-
knOwledges to have received and eX-
pended on account of the above roads,
$6S1 ,6S4.63. (See schedule b.
4. Discount on W. A. Lynch's drafts,
$293.50.
3. Cash in hands of trustees of the
COnnOttOn Valley q Straitsville Railroad
Company May I'd, 1882, $2O2 835. 80; ma
king in all, $2,811 ,S95.82.
For the construction of the above
roads Mr.. Patterson has received 1920
COnnOttOn Valley bonds, and 2,15O Con-
notion 81 StraitsYille bonds (par value
81 600 each), and the amount of expen-
dltures, and the amount of the expendi-
lures, as stated above, is 81 per cent. of
the par value of the bonds.
In addition to the above amounts l
find the sum of $45O.3O charged by Mr..
Patterson, and $3,065.06 charged by Mr..
PrOal, for which no regular vouchers
have been furnished me, but which
have reason to believe are proper
charges. In the above settlement no
charges have been made for rent or sal
aries for the Office in Boston, OF for the
expenses of Mr.. Patterson during his
trips to Ohio and elsewhere on business
connected with the railroad, or for com
missions on the sale of bonds.
Respectfully submitted,

From the Paris InteIigencer: Mr..

vile last Friday, where he had gone
to investigate the rumor that gold
had been discovered on the farm of
Rev. Mr.. Armstrong, near that place
Mr. Croswell showed us a little box
Of dust which he had brought back,
and which is certainly the pure stuff.
He is an old miner, having spent sew
eral years in that occupation out in
California, and says the prospects
near Brownsville are very encoumg
ing. Further investigation Of the
matter will be made in the near fu-
sure, and we hope it will be success
full, for if there is any one thing this
county needs more, than anything
else 1t is gold mine. ~
