Our scalding tears will flow.
With faith and hope and prayer and

We laid our loved one away;
But in paradise we know
She blooms fadeless flower today.
And though in darkness we await
The light of eventide;
Heaven we know will brighter be
For our precious one that died.

Lackawanna county Republicans have
named Congressman William Connel

dicated that their preference for the
place is State Senator W. P Snyder, Of
that county. Other counties. east and
west, and north and south. have men
who would adorn the seat now filled by
the Philadelphian, and the promised
contest for the place, strictly within

THESE days when hundreds of houses
are being built, all rooted with slate,
the inquiry arises where does all the
slate come fromY" The green or No.
slate, which is few cents cheaper pei
square than the black, comes from Yer
mount. The black or No. comes from
Slatington, Lehigh county, and Bangor
Northampton county, near the Dele
ware Water Gap, this state. There are
immense slate mines or quarries, the
vein being 300 feet thick. The slate il
quarried in blocks and split into shingles
with a chisel while damp from the
quarry. Drillers say they pass through
thick bed of slate at depth of 500 OF
900 feet in this county. If this is the
case this slate should crop out il
Venango and Forest counties.
