was only going to Berlinsyille told her
that she would have to walk from that
place to her point of destination. Arriv-

best manner that she would have TO get off
as he wanted to pursue his journey, where

CoRRECTIoN.-I would call the attention
of the ''Stroller' to the article appearing
in the week before last issue of the CARBON
ADVOCATE, in which he says, that my
daughter was suffering from complaint

Zern & Kutz, put her in fair way of re-
covery. / must emphatically deny that my
daughter was eyer suffering from any COM
plant pronouced incurable, and that the
treatment given by Messrs. Zern g. Kutz
was for a slight attack of summer complaint
and was treated by no other physicians

that l, the father of the family, have been
treated by physician of this place for a

A NUIsANcE.-If there is one thing
more particular than another that the peo-
pie of Weissport would like to see, it is a
new and improved bridge over the canal.

matter should be brought to the attention
of the court. A new bridge is an impera-
tive necessity and should be built. Get to
work.

between Joseph Sachres and Charley
