afternoon prevented members from
attending the Alliance and not enough
assembled to form q Quorm. The
Thursday meeting Of next week we
hope will have more propiclous day.
There are number of applicants for
membership to be acted on and mem
bers should not lose any opportunity to
lay the claims of the Alliance before
their neighbors and persuade them to
enroll in the noble work. The most
substantial and prominent citizens OF
the agricultural and kindred pursuits
are radidly filling up the ranks Of the
Alliance.
Charles Walton & Sons store
located at Iron Hill near Elkton was

| pie Of boys of the neigbborhood who
were released on condition of restor
ing the goods formerly stolen and
never again committing such offense.
They will doubtless reform till
another opportunity presents itself.
In the meantime, Walton & Sons
are liable to prosecution for not
prosecuting the young thieves.

"James McDevitt, who claims to

Tough Iron Company, at North East,

company will be formed for carrying
on the business on large scale.
Five hands are now employed and
the iron produced from the scrap tin
has been pronounced to be fret class
iron 1t is also stated that several
Pennsylvania iron men are interested
in the new enterprise and will furnish
the capital necessary to make it

The above is as near as possible a
revised second edition of what Nc
Dewitt had published when he set up
