Some of the officers elect of Hemlock

upon them. The present road law makes
it difficult for us to get man willing to

serve if he can get out of it. We can't un-
derstand why Benton township had so
many candidates for the office. We here
by give notice that persons desiring such
office may have their desires gratified by
emigrating to Hemlock. We prefer an

The Coming Monument.

The contract papers for the Soldiers
Monument were executed and signed on
last Thursday, by the committee appointed
for that purpose and the representative of
the Monumental Bronze company of
Bridgeport, Conn. The contract gives a
full and satisfactory assurance that the
structure will be fully mp to the design.
1t was believed that it could be finished
and put up in time for dedication on the
coming 4th of July, but owing to more de-
lay than was expected il is doubtful
whether it can be finished by that time,
and the date was left blank, 1t will how
ever, be finished not later than about the
first of August. The structure, including
the base, will be 81 feet high and. having
carefully and thoroughly enqured and con.
suited the best scientific authorities, we
are very confident that, when erected, the
general public will cordially approve the
action of the committee. 1t is, to say the
least, quite as durable as the very best
stone, and equally beautiful. We venture
also to say that 1t will be one of the grand
est structures of its kind in the interior OF

One OF the Incxplicable examples of
what is called by many 'presentiments" is
told by Junius, the youngest son of the
late DR.. Julia Hunter, who was attending
school at Hartford, Susquehanna county
he says that one night before the accident
by which his mother met her death he
either dreamed or was made to feel in some
way he cannot explain that something seri.
Gus had befallen her. The thought took
such strong hold upon his mind that he
could not stay there, and the following
morning he started upon foot tor Carbon
dale, n distance of nearly % miles. He
walked to Clifford, 18 miles, where he
learned of the terrible calamity which had
happened to his mother. The boy says the
presentiment is the only thing that made
him leave school, The story is credited by
many, us the boy is only eleven years old
and 1t is not thought probable that he could
have concocted the story as it is not likely
that he ever knew a case of the kind
