The Republicans of our place would
like Depew and Gresham for their stand
ard bearers since Baine's declination.
Mr.. JOS. SWartz, living mile west OF
here. had some five or six sheep killed by
dogs, last week, and several badly bitten.
Col. Jno. L. Keller was in town last
week. lie visited the new church here
and seemed to be very much pleased in
the way it has been finished. The Col
onel has many friends here and they are
always pleased to BEE him.
Jos. Yew has been exceedingly busy
in the past week herding his Jersey cow
He has also been keeping Pete and Rus
on the 90 holding the umbrella over him

place One would have thought he was
an out and ont I thurman boomer the way

Mr.. Samuel Glenn, who lives near the
Farmers Mill, met with quite painful
accident last week He loaded an old
gun barrel and then attempted to fire it
by striking the cap with hammer, and
IN doing so a piece of the cap flew in his
eye. We are informed that he will lose

On last Monday morning while Mr..
Coffman's little girl, about : years old,
was in the yard playing, she found some
five or six matches, and ignited them,
and in doing so her clothes caught and
burned her badly from the breast to
stomach. Her mother being near, tore
the clothes from her and no doubt in this
way saved her life.
A minister of the advent church passed
through town last week. lie was looking
for suitable place to pitch his tent. in
our nelehborhood. He wants to hold
meeting of several weeks, and as our
place is about equal distance between
Strasburg and Woodstock, he is quite anx-
ious to locate here. We would suggest
the field of John J. Gochenours, one
fourth mile south of here.
The people of Maurertown and neigh
borhOOd have been troubled for sometime
by band of burglars whose popularity
haye been to enter cellars and dairies.-
Several times in the past 10 days this has
been the case. On last week Messrs.
CoGman, Kiser, Richard and Jno. l..
era bill have had pies, butter and bread
stolen. Mr.. Richard, on the morning
after his bread, &c, was stolen, found
Jug Of brandy today under his wagon
This is too bad and this gang of midnight

John II. Bauserman's was the scene Of
a quiet wedding on Thursday morning,
May 3lst, at 10 o'clock. Contracting par
ties were Miss Nina Bauserman, daughter
of John H. Bauserman, and Samuel j..
Wagner. The ceremony was performed
BY Rev. A. X. Kline. of Woodstock, after
which the happy couple took the north
bound train for Pennsylvania, the home
of Mr.. Wagners parents, where they viii.
spend their honey moon. We wish them
a long and happy life.
We are constantly seeing boys, young
men aud middle aged men, Of our place,
shooting birds. This pernicious habit
shCuld be stopped at once. "a bird is
not safe to light any place in the reach of
their guns. Is there no law against this
II there is it should be enforced to the
full penalty. The parties seem to take n
great delight in practicing with cart
ridge guns at the birds expense. We
would like for the local editor of the
HERALD to give us the law, and if there
is law, the friends of the innocent little
songsters will see to 1t that it shall be
stopped.
We announce with regret the change
in our assistant railroad agent, at this
point. Mr.. Chas A. Sadm, the present
acting agent has done the work so well,
both to the company and shippers, always
obliging and ready TO accommodate when
possible, that it will be a long while I'M
til the company will be able to get an
other to fill his place in the agreeable
manner he has We hone that Charlie
will soon be able to find better position
than he has had here. lie expects TO pay
visit to Winchester to see his best girl
for few days. and on his return will be
open for an engagement. Messrs. Coiiman
and Snarr will act as agent in the future.
