ding, the room lately occupied by Justice
Jones.
Dr.Birely Is having the lower room re fitted
and will remove thereto from his present
office as soon as completed
SICK HoRsE.-Mr. Herbert Getty drove to
this place from New Windsor on Saturday
last. He made it in quick time and the day
was very hot and oppressive. On Sunday
morning his horse was siezed with falling
fit and extreme nervousness; in about half
hour it fell second time as though shot.
Blood. letting followed and relief came
promptly. 1t is valuable horse could have
been sold recently for 5000.
The Baltimore baseball club has won the
pennant, although they yet haye number of
games to play. Cleveland will probably fin
ish in second place and will play for the
Temple Cup. This Is az 1t should be; Bati-
more has beaten Cincinnati badly and while
she wins the pennant, has been badly beaten
by Cleveland. They are the two that should
play the Temple Cup series and Baltimore
should win it and will win 1t if she can re.
gain the nerve that she apparently loses
whenever she faces Cleveland.
PRoPHETIc?-In Mr. L. Il. Waesche g gar
den spider has woven and an m into
his web; whether it is "Wm," for William
meaning that William will be president, or
w. NJ, which would be more explicit. it is
most difficult to determine, as each one that
sees it decides it in exact accordance with
the vote he will cast in November. 1t is a
silver gray spider, encircled with gold bands;
and even here there is difficulty in determin-
ing the intent. All agree, however, that the
spider is doing the best it can to let Us igno'
rant humans know how the elections going
How ABOUT IT!-When the Town Hall
Bond issue was being favorably urged, pom.
ises were made by many that a Fair should
5e held within a year to relieve the Corpor'
alton treasury from the pressure occasioncd
by interest and sinking fund payments
These statements were made in good faith at
the time.
If the fair is to be held at or near the COM
ing Holidays, is it not about time that the
preliminary steps were taken'
Let us have an expression on the subject
by as many as have views on the subject
think it over and be ready with answers
to the questions: DO you favor holding a
fairy" when should 1t be held?" "Will
you give it your countenance and aid?'
Resolution OF Thanks.
