UNIONTOWN.

funeral took place on Monday at 10 A. NJ.
Rev. Geo. S. Hackett conducted the SER
vices, and the interment was in the Meth
odist Cemetery. Mrs. Butler was peace
full, kind, neighborly citizen, and has been
a resident of this town for many years.
About year ago she passed through a
protracted and painful illness, but re-
covered her health so far as to be able to
be about again. Some two months since
she fell while walking across the room.
and never recovered from the shock and
injuries received. Although the morn
ing was exceedingly unpleasant there was
a good attendance at the funeral, and had
the weather permitted many more would
have been present. Mr.. J. w. Butler, her
son, is now the only occupant of the old
home, and being man of kindly, civil
department, sympathetic nature, and
obliging manners, he is held in high es-
TEEN by all our people, and he has their
sincere sympathy, and kindly wishes in
his behalf.
A young man connected with the con-
struction force of the Cleveland, Lorain
and Wheeling Railroad, narrowly escaped
a fatal injury while they were undergrad
ing bridge near Bruce Station, a few
days since. They were running timber
with a chain attachment, and while a
heavy timber was being run, the chain
caught him by the left arm near the wrist.
His position was under the bridge over
the waters of the creek, and in few mo-
ments the chain would have taken up the
slack, and the weight would have pulled
the arm from the shoulder or crushed it
off with the links of the chain. BY a
merciful interposition of Providence the
chain was broken from some cause, and
he escaped serious injury.
Many persons who knew Mrs. Scouller,
wife of the Rev. J. c. Scouller, will be
panied to learn of the death of her father,
DR.. Fulton, of Washington, about two
weeks since. Her many friends here
tender heartfelt sympathy.
Mr.. Selden George is the owner of
watch which he states is over two hun
dred and twenty years old. 1t was man.
ufactured in Dublin, and has been run
ming until recently, when it got out of re-
pair. Another curiosity is a potato in
the possession of Mr.. Jos. Junkins, of
Bannock, which he states is % years old.
1t had been carried as a preventive of
rheumatism, and becoming dry is per-
fectly preserved and almost as hard as
stone.
The Mission Band of the Presbyterian
Church was handsomely entertained at
the home of Miss Iona Bethel one eve
ming of last week. Invitations were is
sued, and those present report pleasant
and enjoyable occasion.
On Tuesday Of last week Mr.. Laban
Lodge, of Bruce, was seated by the fire,
thinking over his good and bad deeds,
when the door opened, and "more as
thirty-seven" men rushed in and struck
him dumb with heavy gold-headed cane.
The assault was made by minister nam
ed VIM. F. Johnson, seconded by RevW.
R. Thompson, of Blaine. Others took a
hand in the assault, and the only provo
cation was that it was Mr.. LIS birth day.
Mrs. Lodge had noticed a number of men
prowling about in suspicious manner,
and felt that they were contemplating an
attack, and in order to mollify them pre-
pared an extra nice dinner. Mr.. Lodge
had smelled the chicken and turkey and
coffee and cake, but supposed it was only
one of the regular Tuesday dinners
When Mr.. Lodge "came to" after the as
sault he inquired if they were all well,
and not having an opportunity before,
issued invitations to stay for dinner, and
they Staid. The affair was a genuine
"rooster party" the only ladies present
being those who volunteered to furnish
piano music for the occasion. Mr. Lodge
is deserving of the favor, and all his
friends wish him "many happy returns
of the day"
The writer of the article concerning
the wedding anniversary omitted the
name of the minister by whom Mr.. and
Mrs. Solomon Bentley were married.
AS matter of interest to many friends
we would state that it was the Rev. DR..
Young.

ALL medical authorities agree that
catarrh is no more nor less than an in
tlammatiOn of the lining membrane of
the nasal air passages. Nasal catarrh
and all catarrhal affections of the head
are not diseases of the blood, and it is
serious mistake to treat them as SUCH
No conscientious physician ever at
tempts to do so. 1t is held by eminent
medical men that sooner or later specific
will be found for every disease from
which humanity suffers. The facts justi-
fly us in assuming that for catarrh at least
a positive cure already exists in Ely's
