UPPER LEHlGH NOTES.

A Hungarian whose name could not
be learned and who is resident of
South Heberton, was badly injured in
old No. slope by coal falling upon him.
He had an arm and leg broken and
was hurt otherwise.
Some of John Hurley's friends have
given it out that he may be in the race
for the legislature next fall. Whether
the rumor is true or not is hard to say.
Patrick Boyle, of Plymouth, called on
old acquaintances here last week.
Four days week is about the average
time worked by the colieries at this
place during this month.
John Rhoads, who was employed at
this place, is now resident of Halle
Brook.
Evan r. Jones spent a few days at
Peckville, Laekawanna county, this
week.
Thomas Johnson, Sr., is among those
who are on the sick list.
James Brogan visited friends at Mauch
Chunk last week
Constable James Brogan, of Upper
Lehigh. How would that sound, Jim?
Payday enlivened the town consider
ably, through it was of short durance.
An attempt was made last week to or
ganize a branch of the Heavenly Re-
cruits denomination at this place.
Whether it was successful or not we are
unable to say, though religion of some
kind wouldn't harm some of the people
in certain sections of the town.
Some of our boys are so worked up
over the Mitchell-Corbett fight, that
they went into the business themselves.
Now it is announced that we are to have
a genuine purse and gate receipts fight
to finish unless one of the principals
backs down. Scraps of this kind should
be avoided as they don't do any good
so boys, let it drop.

Surveying for a Railroad.

From the Mauch Chunk Dai News.
corps of surveying engineers, COM
posed of seven or eight men, has been
stationed at Rockport for the past two
weeks engaged on the survey of new
railroad that is to cross Laurytown val
ley, in Lehigh township, Carbon county.
AT present only the preliminary surveys
are being made, and these consist of
running number of routes from which
the most feasible is to be selected. The
corps struck the Lehigh river at Mud
Run, having come down Mud Run creek
from a point on the new railroad that
was recently built from Stroudsburg to
Wilkes Barre.
The corps travels under the cognomen
of the Short Line Improvement Com
pany's Civil Engineer Corps. Their
work is no doubt furtherance of the
long talked about short ronte from the
coal fields to New England, and it looks
as if the coal fields were to be tapped in
the vicinity of Eckley, Jeddo and Drif-
ton, and from there extended to the
Hazleton and Beaver Meadow regions.

Foster Democrats.

Interest in Foster Democratic politics
was considerably increased this week
it became known that the delegate elec.
tions would be held on Saturday even
ing. Each of the nine districts in the
township is entitled to three representa-

majority of the delegates is the aim of
the candidates for the various offices.
Among the candidates who have been
mentioned are the following: For tax
collector, Patrick Kennedy, Five Points;
William O'Donnell, Halle Brook; Geo.
McGee, Five Points; supervisors, Ed
ward Quinn, Highland, John McNulty,
South Heberton; John O'Donnel, Eek
ley; school directors, Jacob Zeisloft,

others in the field, but their names have
not been made known.
Several of the above are making an
active canvass for office, while others
have only been mentioned as candidates
and are making no effort to obtain a
nomination. The office of tax collector
is the principle one sought for, and
three sets of delegates are running in
some of the districts.

1 have recommended it to several, who have tried it and been cured" Here is the voluntary testimony of a most estimable lady, that she was cured by Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
 It is wonderful tribute to the great value of this medicine in curing disease. There is 8 large class of people who, while not exactly sick, suffer from extreme ner- vousness, feel weak and tired, lack their old-time strength and ambition. They do not eat or sleep well, wake mornings tired, with dull-feeling head and no in clinatiOn to take hold of their work.
 To all such we would recommend Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem edy, for it will certainly give strong nerves and vigorous bodies-in fact will make you strong and we'll.
 This medicine is recommended by dOc- tors. It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand med cal discovery is the result of his vast ex- perience. The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that this medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be con- suited by any one at any time free of charge, personally or by letter, gives ab- solute assurance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine.
The Press., 1894-10-18

We have received this remarkably in teresting letter, with the accompanying beautiful portrait from Miss E. Burke, ot Amoskeag, N. H., and we place them be. fore our readers.
 "Soon after graduating from school was stricken down with nervous prostra- tion, and no one but God knows what suffered.
 "I was so nervous that the least little thing would cause my heart to f1utter and palpitdte. was also troubled with se- were headache and dizziness, which un- fitted me for any mental work l tried several highly recommended compounds, but they did me no good.
 "At last, decided to give Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy trial. What blessing it has proved to me. l can truly say that I owe my present ex- cellent health to Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. We keep it in the house, as 1t cures sick headache or neuralgia in every case, and gives imme- diate relief.
 II am so grateful for the good this won derful remedy has done me, and in order that other poor sufferers may be pointed to the path of health, deem it my duty to state what Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy has done for me. My faith is so strong in this grand medicine which has done me so much good, that urge others to use it and get well.
