Livermore fisherman the other day in
lifting his outline secured three or four
good fish, and then hook came to the
surface bearing a portion of human scalp,
covered with light brown hair five or six
inches in length. This was in the Cone
maugh, and doubtless this was a portion of
the remains of one of the Johnstown food
victims. The fisherman no longer casts
his lines in that stream.
The admission of Miss Alice McGee to
the bar at Warren is having the effect of
stimulating other young ladies to similar

intention of submitting to examination as
student at law. Counting is always more
pleasant when ladies are actively engaged
in the proceedings, says Butler youth of
the male persuasion, and a law student
himself.

animal. The thieves seemed to be head
ing for Titusvile or Oil City.
