the numerous curative benefits Of DR..

Court convenes next week, and if
the extent Of the trial list is q fair

endar which is not only a decidedly
neat piece of work, because printed
at this Office, but forms a very interest.
ing and full record of "the business
before the house." On this as on all

The Commercial Travellers Asso.
citation of Erie will please consider
our hat dofIed for the elegant invita-.
lion to attend its fourth annual ball,
on the 22d inst. We see that our
friend T. E. Mabie is the Vice Presi.
dent of the Association, and one of
the management committee, which is
a guarantee that the affair will pass off
with clockwork regularity. AS a
manager at first class ball, the
"Major" has few equals and no su.
periors, and we know whereof we
speak.
Treasurer Fitzgerald had little
fun with Canfeld's ponies while on a
visit in Barnett township one day last
week. The breaking of the double.
tree allowed the sleigh to strike the
horses heels and they jumped so sud-
denly that Mr.. F. was jerked out over
the dash and dragged for several feet
before the team got away. Being
freed from the sleigh they ran mile
or so and we're caught, when it was
found there had been very little dam
age done, and Mr.. Fitzgerald had
suffered nothing more than a good
shaking up.
Arthur Kelly met with the first
and only serious coasting accident
thus far this season on Friday evening
last. He was pilotiug load of coast.
ers down Dutch Hill on a pair of i'm.
provised bob sleds, and in making the
turn 10 the road at Haslet's barn, the
sleds became unmanageable and
crashed through the paling fence with
terrific force, breaking both bones OF
Arthur's left arm square off above the
wrist. DR.. Siggins was called and re.
duced the fracture, and in a short
time had his patient feeling more
comfortable. None Of the others on
the sleds were injured, aud, severe as
Arthur's injury is, he might have lost
his life. 1t is needless to state that
this accident stopped the coaSting, and
there has been little of it since.
"A welcome guest always, peter.
son" for March comes to us at its
brightest and best. The steel.engrav.
ing, "a Venetian Flower. Girl" is a
charming picture; and the full. page
wood illustration, little maids
washing. Day" for her dolls, will de.
light the children as we'll as their
elders. The mammoth colored fash.
n'plate presents tempting array ol
the latest styles in feminine dress, and
the work table designs are pretty, use
fol, and original. 1t is always up 10
the times in every particular, and
with each new volume its list of at.
fractions increases in briliancy and
number. Terms, two dollars a year.
