At the meeting Of the Republican
Standing Committee In Middleburgh
= on Tuesday. IL was decided to hold
the Primary Election on Saturday
March 81, between hours OF aud
7P.M. That will make the cam
paign short and hot.
On Tuesday the Central Hotel,
Middleburgh went dry-the liquor
license expiring on that day. No Ii
cense can now be granted the House
until the latter part of April. Lots of
fellows ia town now so dry that they
spit white Gban u bits
4 pleasant so cial gathering took
place at the residence of BENJAMIN
Bachman on Friday night last, when
about forty married ladies participat-
ed in carpet-rag donation party
each bringing n lot of rags, sewing
them ami then donating the whole
pile to the lady of the house.
Stetler's Cornet Band netted about
day evening. The performances in
part were good--the balance was be
low the med um OF entertainments
given by the band heretofore. The
reason for this is the short time the
boys TOOK to prepare for the occasion.
For the balance of the winter we
T lif.t haa f.i.s 10
wiads, -yeeriug from north-nor'west
All around aud back again with local,
general and miscellaneous snow, ice,
sleet aud rainfalls aud more or less
fall and rise in the mercury, We
think We have caught on to the
weather at last.
An exchange says: Now, here is
something which Is really worth
making u note Of If piece of char
coal IL laid on burn, the pain viii.
subsde immediately, aud if left upon
the wound for an hour will cure 1t.
This seems almost Incredible, but a
piece of charcoal is readily procurable,
IL should be kept in every house for
immediate use and its efficacy tested.
1t is not often that a lawyer practicing
at thi, bar gets as high II compliment
paid for his integrity and honor as
did Thomas j. Smith, Esq, from
Judge Bucher on Monday in open
Court. We congratulate Tom. When
he dies and his epitaph is made to
read Here lies q lawyer, and an
honest man." no one will suspicion
that it marks the remains of ttc0 men.
Our friend and fellow citizen S.
Weis now claims to be an American
citizen, both by naturalization and by
having resided in the Land of the
free end the home of the brave for 81
years" May he live many times 81
years here is our wish. Tribune.
Yes; just so. Had we many more
such foreigners as friend Weis our
government would have no reed OF
laws restricting immigration.
a physician says February IL the
most prolific of serious colds of any
month of the year, and advises the
back OF the neck to be kept we'll
wrapped up, as beneath that exposed
skin lies the ''cerebrospinal axis,
whence proceed the nerves that gov
ern both heart and lungs" The face,
Ike says-and as everybody knows by
sxperiece lis supplied with blood ves-
sells twice as plentiful as the neck en-
abling it to resist external cold In
that proportion"
Battle Creek Moon The decision
of the Michigan supreme court pretty
ehectually knocks the Bohemian oat
swindle in Michigan. Its effect ap
pears to be that the purchaser OF
Bohemian oat note, knowing the note
TO have been given on Bohemian
oat contract, is not an innocent pur-
chaser, and cannot recover on the
note. This will relieve good many
Michigan victims from the conses
quences Of their foolish gullibllity,
ana is plain warning against other
IKE swindling schemes.
ED. PosT.-I have been strongly
urged to submit my name as cam
d'date for Prothonotary, and take
this means to inform my friends that
! cannot comply with their request.
, we have now two good men in the
Held for the Office, and an effort on
my part might not only result in my
own defeat but in disturbing the now
equal advantages OF the two men In
,he Held. With my best wishes for
me sncoess OF the party remain.
Very truly yours.
