AMoxG the ladies in town who are
most pleased with natural gas is

she is delighted with it. Being a

As SAD piece of news as it is often
our lot to chronicle reached this
place on Friday last. A child of
Isaac Yeager, of Wayne township,
died, and Mr. Yeager's mother an
aged lady called upon her son and
his wife, and on going into the room
where the child was lying she fell to
the floor dead. Waynesburg Demo

The new postal cards will be sup
piled in few days, to the postoffice,
by the p. o. Department. They are
quite different from those now and
heretofore in use. They are double
instead Of single, and split across the
back SO they can open out. After
the writing is done they are folded
and sealed with piece Of gnmmed
paper.
WE KNOW that our business men
will do all they can to make our nat
ural gas material benefit to the
town Monday night. They have the
spirit of enterprise and the attend
ance at the Court House on the night
mentioned will be large and the
measures taken be well calculated
70 attract capitalists All turn out
to the meeting.
For the first time in years that
some slight observance was not made
of the birthday of the father of our
country occurred On Friday last.
Not the least manifestation was
shown of this important day, and it
certainly would be matter of re-
greet if it should happen that in the
years to come Washington's birthday
should pass unobseryed.
THE grounding this year was al
most forgotten, but last Saturday
he made himself be remembered and
until Tuesday we had the coolest
weather of the season, Sunday morn
ing the mercury registering three
above. The ides of March draweth
near and from appearances the adj
vent will be made on the lion plan,
thus we can hope that the exit will
be like unto lamb.
4 SHORT time ago it was reported
here that the pipe line from the Mt.
Morris oil field to this place would
be abandoned and the shipment of
oil from this point discontinued. Mr..
E. L. Stewart, the gentlemanly SUI
perintendent here informs the NEW
DOMINION that he sometimes ships
one hundred thousand gallons per
week, and that there is probably no
truth in the report
THE Farmers Il Mechanics store
for the year past made sales to the
amount of $4,000, with an average
capital Of $4,000. These figures will
readily assure everybody that the
venture has been an unprecedented
success and the managers will, for
the year ensuing, increase the stock
and otherwise improve the place.
The Messrs. Posten are merchants
from the ground up and will continue
at the helm of the institution.
SEVERAL of the young men who
are forninst loafng in the evenings
q making an effort to establish a
social club in which to spend their
leisure hours. These clubs are car
ried on very successfully in other
towns and there is no reason why
the same should not be here. The
plan is to have the rooms open every
evening, with gymnasium, billiard
tables, &c. Married men will be adj
United. We hope for the success OF
the project.
FROM the time the gas was let in
until Sunday a 1veritable seventh
wonder could be seen just above the
Dnrbannah bridge. A gas pipe was
run into the creek at that point and
what gas came over the line and not
consumed escaped into the creek
By some means this was ignited and
perfect sea of fire was the result
The flames were about 20 feet high
and in circumference would measure
that much, which made it one Of the
greatest sights ever seen here. II
