A telegram from Washington on We1nes-
day last announced the death of William A,
0gle, Esq, from congestion of the lungs.
For number of months his health had been
failing, but none thought the harvest WAS
so soon to be garnered. In early life Mr..
Ogle learned the printing business. but left
the case to read law with w. H. Postleth-
waite, Esq. He was admitted to the bar on
attaining his majority. He never made any
serious effort 10 secure a practice, but soon
returned to printing. He was probably one
of the best compositors in the United States.
aud had worked on nearly all the best pa
pers in the country. With one of the most
remarkable memories with which man was
ever gifted, and with keen sensibilities that
never failed to respond TO all that was pa
thetic or humorous, he was versatile wri-t
ter whose pen was left to rust for want Of
inclination to use. His death will be re-
GREETED by large circle of acquaintance, to
whom his many excellent qualities of heart
and mind had endeared him.

Berlin is to have paper too in the near
future. understand that Mr.. Frank Choir

November and start the paper al once. 1t

the injured man is now doing as well as

l see the Meyersdale Commercial is sup
porting Samuel Philson for Poor House Di-
rector. Its Editor says Barron is not honest.
How does he know He says Barron is con-
siderably in debt. That is something he
has nothing to do with. Suppose he is
that does not make him a dishonest man.
Many an honest, just, and upright man has

pretty d-d sure Philson is not. He says
again that Barron was life long Democrat
he was a candidate at the Republican pri-
mary in 1882 and was within few votes OF
getting the nomination. He must have
been the choice ofa good many republicans.
What has Samuel Philson ever done for the
poor of this county that particularly quail
fies him to take charge of their interests.
Certainly he has been well paid for all ia
yors be ever done them. will not vote for
Phiison, and hope there is no Republican
in our township that will; if there is he
