having an interesting time, though the
class is as yet small. More singers are
expected to attend in the latter part of
the week aud the concerts promise to
be fine treats.
BY referring to the election news in
another column it will be seen that III.
E. Duck was elected one Of the justices
in Penn township, and 5. r. Gettig, Of
Coburn, the other Both are well quail
ified for the office and excellent men in
all respects.
1t is estimated that oyer three hun.
dred people attended B. F. Philips
sale last FRIDAY. Everybody was anx-
ious to be at the first sale Of the season
and tie excellent sleighing afforded
much pleasure to the attendants in
going and coming.
Our citizens deserve credit for
their wise choice of borough officers.
Every man on the elected ticket is ca
pable for the position and the duties
connected with it and we venture to
say that the borough affairs will be
managed as good in their hands as eyer
| before.

train was late, having met several large
snow drifts on the track. A gravel
train was attached to the rear to help to
push the passenger train through the
piles of snow. 1t was noon before the
iron horse made its appearance at Co.
burn.
