"A. J.. Gilman of Iberia came up
from Iberia on Saturday of last week
to receive a car load of hogs for east
err shipment.
1t is amusing to watch a group Of
fishermen standing around hole in
the ice, for. hours at a time intently
gazing into the water, while a number
of youngsters are endeavoring to drive
the fish to within reach of their spears,
by keeping up constant pounding up
on the ice. Now and then a slender
victim is brought above water, but usu-
ally the disappointed chaps retire with
out having secured single sardine to
reward them for half days suffering
in the bitter cold.
1t has been often noticed in the
course of events, that an individual or
a number of individuals having perfect
ed and carried out successfully any
project, or having secured any object
which lay within the range Of their am.
bition, that other persons were likely
to be seized with similar desires and
would attempt to accomplish the same
results. Thus things progress until
that peculiar state of affairs is arrived
at which is denominated ''craze' in
a community. This condition of things,
we are almost persuaded to think, is
being firmly established in this locality
in the phaze Of matrimony. and that it
is developing with astonishing rapidity,
is evinced by the fact that two or three
have taken place in this locality, each
week, during the past few months. If
this spirit Of atuity continues to mani
fest itself public advancement will in
no.wise be endangered. The last and
without doubt the happiest wedding
which has lately taken place in this lc-
cality, was solemnized on Wednesday
of last week at the residence of Mr.. j.
II. Redford. The nuptials were Miss
Mary BEDFORD of North Star and Mr..
La Forest Potter of Burnstown. This
couple have bright future before
theme; no visible clouds Of sorrow
or disappointment shadow their
pathway through life. We unite with
their large circle Of friends in wishing
them JOY and long life.
The members of the German Meth
odist church are making preparations
for q grand Christmas festival.
1t is with feelings Of sorrow, that
we chronicle the sad and untimely
death Mr.. j. Cutland, which occur
red Thursday evening Of last week
at Traverse Siding, on the c. & n. w.
r. r. The axact manner in which the
accident occurred is not known, but it
is supposed that while endeavoring to
stop the cars while switching, in the
darkness, he had fallen in front of the
moving cars. Mr.. G. was a young man
much respected by the people of this
place, all of whom deeply sympathize
with the bereayed family.
