Quite number from this place at
tended the prohibition mass convention
at Hartford on Thursday of last week.
The other townships of the county were
also fairly well represented. The
assemblage was presided over by Mr.
+. A. Rood of Covert, and an earnest
determination was evidenced on the
part OF all to sustain and perpetuate
the existing law. A county campaign
committee, consisting of one from each
town, was appointed and every school

thoroughly canvassed. A considerable
fund for this purpose was raised on the
spot and more will be forthcoming when
needed.
The procession down Pennsylvania
avenue which the Grand Army of the
Republic proposes to make feature of
| ilo hbbipHll III w dSllDS-
ton in September will not be as large as
that memorable review of the return
ing Union veterans ut the close of the
war, but it will be very impressive
None but members of the order will
march. There may be 100, 600 of them
The "boys in blue" all over the country
are anxious to meet once more in life

We learn by the Aberdeen (Dak.)

trical storm which visited that city on
Tuesday evening of last week the resi-
dence of III. ). Williams, formerly of
this place, was struck by lighting the
bolt passing down the chimney of the
upright, striking and demolishing the
partition between the two sleeping
rooms occupied respectively by Harry
and the servant girl, literally tearing
the rooms and furniture in splinteIs.
About ten minutes before the house
was struck Mrs. Williams, frightened
by the violence of the Storm had called
Harry and the girl down to the lower
raoms, which undoubtedly saved both
their lives.
G. A. Lamberson of Pine Grove an
nounces himself as candidate for
the office of sheriff of this county. Mr..
LamberSOn has been voter in his
township for nineteen years; has been
a persistent worker in the Republican
ranks, and it is due largely to his
efforts that Pine Grove is redeemed
| from Democratic rule and stands to-day
a staunch Republican township Pine
Grove has never presented candidate
for Il county office, and those who have
so long struggled in the minority in
that town feel as though they were
entitled to some consideration Should
Mr.. i. be the choice of the conven-
ton, he will have no warmer supporter
than the NORTHERNER.
The board of supervisors convened
on Monday and considered the local

points were raised concerning the
validity of the petitions and, on the adj

cause of informalities in making and
certifying to the returns. Notwith-
standing this, the petitions bore an ex-
cess of five hundred names over the
number required by law for re-sub-
mission of the question, and the board
by vote of ID to /, ordered special
election to be held on Monday, Sept. 5.
