An impression has gone out over
the State that an act was pass ed at
the recent session of the Legislature
increasing the salaries of election
officers, and many inquiries con-
cerning it have been received at the
State Department. The act never
became n law.
As an Emergency Medicine, for
sudden colds, Ayers Cherry Pee
toral takes the lead of all remedies,
n dose or two generally sufficing to
stop ordinary coughs and ease the
worst. For the cure of throat and
lung disorders, this preparation is
unequalled.
Canker in the mouth can be cured
only by expelling the poisonous hu-
NOR from the system. To do this
effectually requires the persistent
use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, together
with good, generous diet. One
dollar bottle. Six bottles for S5
Begin at once.
Owing to the haste necessary in

John II. Cox, who was sentenced
to an Imprisonment of four years
for shooting Milo Jump to death, in
Northumberland has been refused
n pardon. This was the second time
the case has come before the Board
of Pardons. This refusal means
that Cox will not be relieved of the
payment of $4,000 costs that had ac-
cumulated against him in the trial
of the cause of murder.
Saturday evening last, the Ster-
ling Comedy Company We're mt Cen
treville. After the conclusion of the
performances, they loaded up the
scenery, etc, upon spring wagon,
and while coming down the hill
leading from the school house, part
of the harness broke, causing the
horse to kick the single-tree loose,
which struck Mr.. Porter on the
head rendering him unconscious for
some time. The rest of the troupe
escaped uninjured. The wagon was
considerably used up.
What remarkable exemplifca-
ton of the terrible force of the
flood Mt Johnstown is furnished by
the summary of the strata of sin
gle part of that gorge which was
forced open by dynamite yesterday
A railroad bridge at the bottom, on
top of that a hotel, above that a sec
ton of the Gautier Steel Works,
and upon that foundation a super
structure of houses and small build
ings This immense pile was hurl-
ed together in an almost impreg-
nable mass, by that terrible rush of
waters. When stone, brick and iron
are tossed about like chips and
feathers the wonder is heightened
that any flesh and blood has sur
vived to tell of the terrible event.
