so as to attract the attention of the in
mates. At Jeff Dever's, in Franklin
township the vibration awoke the FAM
lily. and Mr.. Dever arose and closed the
window, thinking perhaps d storm was
coming. Though his wife called his at
tention to the strange sensation, he de-
clares he knew actually nothing of the
earthquake until this morning. Reason
Mercer and others living here, felt the
shock, and thought it resulted from a
boiler explosion or something of the kind.
1t was a good old shake-and we trust it
will shake our acquaintance hereafter.
Two of Dever's new houses are oc-
cupied. -. Frank Carr was buried this

fine looking young man has been
about the Sternberger corner for several

he soon got there ON another tune. There
was quite large turn out. Judge
Miller is preparing to overstock the cider
market, sending a load of barrels out to
his farm 49, The speech of Tanning is
highly spoken of by all who heard it. He
criticized the Republicans somewhat in
his good-natured way, and remarked that
some people might inquire why he didn't
stir up the Democrats, but he wanted the
Republicans to stir up the Democrats.
He would not stir them with a ten-foot
pole!
