There will be a number Of vacancies in
the National Guard Of Pennsylvania next

tion. The vacancies will soon be filled, as
a number of towns are anxious for
representation. In all probability Shen-
andoah will seek admission and knock at
the doors Of the next Adiutant General,
who will very likely be General Sigtried,
of Pottsvi,le. Shenandoah was at one

done better and with more care it is only
a question of short time when the street
will be worse than if 1t had never beer
paved. Bitter complaint Is also made
against the throwing OF straw, paper ant
other rubbish upon the streets. Somt
merchants are very careless when unpack
