UNIONTOWN.

, THE MANY FRIENDS of Miss Aggie Beall (who
sustained severe injuries month since by be-
ing thrown from her hOrse) will be glad to
learn that she is now able to walk about the
house, and that hopes are entertained that she
will soon regain her health and strength. No
one stands higher as a young lady of true worth,
and all regret the painful injuries which she
has suffered from the accident.
Miss NARY CULBERTsoS, after a long and pain
full suffering, died at her home in this town on
Saturday evening, and the funeral took place
on Monday at ii o'clock. She was a member
of the Presbyterian congregation at Crabapple,
and her pastor, Rev. G. 5. Hackett, assisted by
Rev. J. c. Scouller, of the o. P. church, con-
Quoted divine service, and Mr.. Dawson, of New
Athens, acted as funeral director. The burial
lcaSket was very handsome, and kind hands had
spared no pains to prepare the body for its last
resting place and dress it in a rich neat and
becoming manner. Miss Culbetrson was a
sister of Mr.. James Culbertson, of Harrison
county, and was also well known to many in
the vicinity of Oak Dale. She bore her suffer-
ings patiently.
Miss iMATTIE BELL, who has been seriously
! i'll for some time, at the home of Mr.. John
Stewart, near st. Clairsville, came up to her
sisters, Mrs. Caldwell, on Thanksgiving day.
! Although not suffering so much pain, her con-
ditiOn is not improved, and her recovery will
be tedious. Miss Bell is a popular and sue
cessful teacher, and was forced by illness to
give up pleasant and profitable position She
has the sympathy of many friends.
RISING and talented young lawyer from
Missouri, whose front name is John, sent a
! pair of wild deer TO his friends few months
since, and then came up to the ''old neighbcr-
hood" to see how HIS DEAR was getting along.
/ Being popular among his friends, a number of
them were invited to the hOspitable home of
Mr.. P, at Oak Dale, and a grand hunt for
! pheasants, quail, rabbits and ground squirrels
was to come off on Thursday last The clergy,
the law and the grange shouldered their guns
and repaired to the place at the hour appointed,
but "Rude Boreas" was out hunting for fresh
ears and noses that day, and under these cir
cumstanees the gentlemen concluded that
| flight was the better part of valOr," and re-
paired to warm fire in the parlOr where they
cheerfully awaited the arrival of the rabbits.

the P, c. & st. L. R'y Co., is paying visit to
his home in this place-Miss Matte Flan-
nagan, a lively and handsome young lady of
Wheeling, is making her home in our town for
few weeks-A little child of Mr. Hare of
Oak Dale, died on Saturday last-Two child

Campbell, has been seriously ILL., but is now

This relation of the workIngman to

manner in which it palpsbly influences
The question of wages, should not be

given 10 the proper maintenance of the
supply and protection of well-paid labor,
and these considerations suggest such al
arrangement OF government revenues as
shall reduce the expense of living. while
it does not curtail the opportunity for

holds in the estimation of our people.
But our farmers and agTiculturists those

Der nearly one half of our population.
None labor harder OF more continuously
than they. No enactments limit their
hours of toll, and no interposition of the
government enhances, 10 any great
extent, the value of their products, and
yet for many of the necessaries and
comforts of life, which the most scru
pulOus economy enables them to bring
into their homes, and for their imple-
ments of husbandry, they are obliged to
pay price largely increased by an un-
natural profit which by the action of the
government is given to the more favored
manufacturer.
| recommend that, keeping in view
all these Considerations, tue increasing
and unnecessary surplus of national in+
come annually aceumulating, be released
to the people by an amendment to our
revenue laws which shall cheaper the
price of the necessaries of life and give
freer entrance to such imported mate
rial as by American labor may be manu-
factured into marketable commodities.
Nothing can be accomplished however,
in the direction of this much needed
reform. unless the subject is approached
in patriotic spirit OF devotion to the
interest of the entire country and with
a willing gneSs to yield something for
the public good.
