A Pleasant Occasion at ar. Keck,s

March 9th was Mr.. p II. Keck S
10th birthday, and in honor Of the
event his children, grandchildren and
great-grand children assembled at his
home to celebrate the occasion. A
number of other friends were also
present to help enjoy the event. Mrs.
Keck prepared one of her splendid
dinners to which all did ample justice.
Early after dinner some members of
the M. p. choir. with Rev. Mr.. Barnes
and Prof, Miller came and spent the
afternoon singing and in conversation.
In the evening refreshments con-
sisting of ice cream, peaches and cake
were served.
The house was tastefully decorated
with potted plants and evergreens.
Mr. Keck enjoyed the day very much
and was pleased to have so many of
his friends around him. In fact Mr..
Keck always did enjoy his friends and
always dispensed liberal hospitality
to his guests whether hidden or other
wise.
The only regrets about the affair
were those that it should close 50
soon. All hoped that the happy fam
lily should soon meet again and de-
parted wishing Mr.. Keck many moree
happy birthdays.
The Name Selected.
Many people here are interested in
the name to be selected for the new
boat which is being built for the
Pittsburg, Brownsville & Geneva
Packet Company. 1t will no doubt
interest them to hear that the Browns
vile correspondent of the Uniontown
News Standard says that the name
has been selected and that it is Wood
| ward, after the old captain |. G..
Woodward. The selection is an APP
propriate one and will give general
satisfaction. We confess, however,
that Waitman T. Wiley would have
suited us much better as a name and
are sure that no better could have
| been chosen.
Another bit Of news is the follow
ing sent by the same man:
| 1t Is said that the company in
tended to put boat into commission
between Pittsburg and Brownsville
just as soon as the boat now being
built for the line is finished. 1t has
been many years since d boat piled
between this city and Brownsville ex-
clusively. The placing of such a
boat in the trade will obviate the
necessity Of the afternoon packets car
rying heavy freights, consequently
/ they will be enabled To make better
time when the passenger season opens
up. The boat will make one round
trip each day.

600 to 10000 volunteers. Those to
be discharged include three branches Of
the service, infantry. artillery and cav
airy. The question Of the mastering
out of volunteers has been under con-

prominent official of the administra.
ton, it is understood to be the desire
to obtain the wishes OF the volunteer
troops themselves as to remaining in
the service,
