-Ex- Penitentiary Warden Dyer,
we'll and favorably known to many OF
our Logan people, died at his home in
Georgetown on last Saturday from
cancer. DR.. Chas. Parker of Logan,
the present penitentiary physician is
son-in law of the deceased.
The Buckingham Perry County
Band, composed of miners, visited
Logan on Tuesday, soliciting relief
for the poor people of their town.
They played some very excellent music
and our citizens contributed very
literally, as we always do for the re-
lief of the poor.
Count De Freisner the brilliant
and dasing Vasquero of the Lancaster
Democrat, is visiting among friends in
Logan this week. The Count is in
excellent health and spirits and is
meeting a hearty welcome from the
brethren and sistern of the craft.
"A benevolent Society of about
fifty members was organized at st
Johns Church on Sunday afternoon.
The purpose of the organization is to
perform practical works of charity
among the poor people of Logan,
giving relief when help in the way of
nursing, food or clothing may be
needed.
An alarm of fire was given Mon
day night about 10 o'clock and tie
engine brought out. The folks at
Josie Rochester's were cleaning up
and put a lot of paper and cleanings
in the stove, which set on fire the SCOT,
causing blaze from the chimney and
threatening shower of sparks. The
fire was put out by neighbors, and no
harm done.
The Trimmer family, separated
since early manhood, for the first
time in forty years, all met to-
gether in family reunion at Mr..
Henry Trimmer's last week. The:
Trimmer family is pioneer in Hook
ing, and further mention shall be
made next week.
The Farmers Institute was no,
so well attended yesterday as it
should have been. The talks on a
Convenient Stock Barn" and on a
"Pig Park" by w. T. Brown, and
on s.The Farm Dairy" by Mr..
Shawvcr were both interesting and
useful. 1t seems shame that oui
farmers do not manifest greater in
terest in these meetings.
The startling story comes to US
that Ed Davenport, our own and MY
Ed, when in Columbus one day last
week, arrayed in that wonderful over
coat, the like noticeableness of which
bas not been seen on this planet since
the historic vesture of Joseph, was mis-
taken for that lion which has been
roaming around Washington c. H.,
and last was heard of in Tiny,own,
seeking umbrage. In the rough rassel
Ed had with his captors, he lost his
overcoat but was preserved to his
friends by the valient and of Ike
Kontner and Alex Sands. He is now
among us sad spectacle of woe and
frigidity. His friends feel moved to
have the Glee Club give him a benefit
Concert.
There is a movement started to
get Sim Donovan to come to Logan
and deliver his celebrated lecture on
Old John Brown, the proceeds to go
to the poor Of our city.
Col. Donovan is one Of the most
distinguished Lecturers of the coun
try. lie is only disposed to come
to Logan for the reason that his
many personal friends have long
been pressing him to do so, and in
no mercenary spirit, but for charity
sake has he about half consented.
At the time of the John Brown
Raid, S. X. Donovan was a young
and daring reporter on the leading
Democratic paper of Baltimore. lie
was an intense Democrat, and is yet
for that matter. He was sent TO
HaIpers Ferry instructed to see
John Brown, stay with him to the
end, and tell, not what he thought,
