Death of a Good Citizen.

Mr.. William II. Bittiuger, an aged
and respected citizen of this city, died
very suddenly Sunday morning, at his
home on Raleigh street. After eat
ing breakfast he walked out to his
front gate and after standing there a
few moments fell suddenly to the
ground. He attempted to rise but
fell again. He was carried into the
house but expired in few moments.
Mr.. Bittir ger was native of Frank
lin county, Pa, but has lived here for
about IS years, during which time he
was in the employ of Messrs. A.
Kogelschatz, Small & Co., and at the
time of lis death employed by
w. +. Tebo & Co. He was member
OF Lincoln Post g. A. r., and the
members attended the funeral services
in body. The funeral took place
Tuesday afternoon at 5 O'Clock. A
wife and several children survive
him. The remains were taken to
Chambersburg for burial.

Free Delivery July !.

Free Delivery of mails will be
started in this city on July /. 1t is
necessary that all the houses OF the
city be numbered and that all letters
should have the number ofthe writer s
residence thereon to insure correct
and speedy delivery. Free delivery
is a great business advancement and
all citizens should do their part by
numbering their houses at once.
Eight of the fifteen persons who
took the examination for carrier
passed, and the following received APP
pointments. Chas. e. Pitzer, Shirley
Granthan, A. NJ. Staubly, and Frank
Burr, Mr.. Burr being transferred from
the position of clerk in the postoihce

fear that they cannot handle all the
letters you may send.

Was It a Tragedy.

Reports reached this city Wednes-
day morning that horse and buggy
had been found near Rileys ford. and
an investigation was started which
disclosed the fact that the team be-
longed to DR.. c. p Taylor, of this
city, who had left on Tuesday even
ing supposedly to visit a patient in
tsat vicinity. His satchel was found
in the buggy and also some cotton
which was saturated with blood or
some liquid, and spots were found on
the ground, which led to the belief
that he had met with foul play or had
committed suicide. The sheriff S
force turned out in full to discover
some trace Of the doctor, but he has
not been located. He was seen IN
that locality by persons of whom he
had made inquiry, and the theory is
advanced that he may have left for
parts unknown for reasons known
only to himself His young wife is
still in this city anxious to learn OF
his whereabouts.

NOTES AND CONTENTS.

The harvest is bountiful, and the
laborers are plentiful.
How about that fourth Of July cele-
bration'
Woman's success as an engineer is
phenomenal. She frequently has a
washout on the line, but no disasters
are recorded, unless the line prop
falls, then it is not safe for tree
peddler to introduce himself or his
business.
In cur peregrination about the city,
we find the streets clean and in
good sanitary condition. 1t is said
that cleanliness is next to goodness,
but it appears to us that it takes lots
of advertising to sell soap.
Mrs. Jennie Hewitt, nee Russler, OF
Williamsport, Md, spent several days
the past week with her parents on
Liberty street, this city.
After all there is no place like the
old homestead and stroll over the
farm where so many happy hours were
passed in childhood days. There are
plenty of us who have had like ex-
perience, and sometimes we regret
those days are past, never to return.
We will not attempt to express why,
because sometimes an ounce of keep
ingyour mouth closed is worth a
pound CT explanation.
The recent issue OF the Herald, Civ
ing to the public far and near, such a
vast amount of information relative to
the business centres and the future
outlook for the Queen City OF the
Shenandoah, " its advantages and IA
cilities, healthfulness and sociability
of its inhabitants, while the picture IS
not overdrawn and there is room for
MANY more good enterprises, the edi-
tor deserves much credit for his nm
firing energy in portraying so elabor-
ately the many places of business and
the avenues yet open tor more. lt
shows the progressive spirit that
dwells within the bosom of an editor,
that his idea is not to squeeze the
almighty dollar until the eagle on IL
becomes sick at the stomach. No,
that is not Republicanism, and no one
doubts that the Editor and the Herald
are both Republican. By their works
you may know them, and by perusal
of its columns one may not be long in
learning the truth of the assertion "a
Republican Paper.
The order of Railway Conductors of
this city promise gala day on their
excursion to Gettysburg, Thursday,
June %. This is an opportunity for
a day of pleasure at rates so low, that
it would be cheaper to go than stay at
home. All are invited. RALF.
