Quite number of our Millheimers
have Just discovered that it improves
the general appearance of the town vel-
Y much to have clean streets and the
green swards in front free from noXious
weeds and other rubbish. Better late
than never-bat we knew 1t these many
years. Fact.

merchant prince of Mnlinburg, now Il
resident of Philadelphia and president
of bank at Reading, was victimi& d
At Waukesha, Wisconsin, on the nth
inst, to the tune of $500 by n set of
sharp confidence men. 1t is verv sur
prising that man Of Mr.. Youpg's age,
experience and knowledge of the world
could be caught in such thin trap.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE Whitmer,
Culp & Co.'S steam saw mill formerly

Mountain tunnel, was totally destroy

in the morning, but had made too much
headway to be eXtinguished. The loss

the firm will rebuild without delay.

A ABLACKuEARTEDV DVILLAYN.-Will-
iamsport's latest sensation is an el0pe
mont in high life. J. o. Parker, Esq,
who occupied prominent place among
the very creme de Ia creme of Williams
port society, has desc ted a beautiful,
accomplished and high-bred wife and a
son twelve years old, and has fled to
Europe with Miss Harriet Tremaine, a
pretty young lady of twenty years, who
was also considered highly respectable.
1t is rumored that he took with him

The Trustees sale Of the real es-

On Monday we were very agreea
bly, surprised by visit from Mr.. Hugh
Osman, a companion of our boyho0d
years. Mr.. 0sman left Millheim thir-
tv-five years ago and has not been here
since. He was surprised beyond eX-
preston over the many changes
wrought since the long, long ago, and
particularly that so ft,0 of the people
than here are left. Truly, 50 years
make many @uduSeS.
Mr.. Osman resides at Alleman,
Clearfeld Co., and we are glad to add,
is well to do in the world. He brought
his wife along to show her his native
place, which was real nice in Hugh.
