for January prints the following
as the six most helpful notices

worth remembering:
"There i, something better
than making living; making a
life. "
"Our success in life depends
upon our will 10 do. -
cit is never too late to be what
you might have been. F."
"Great principles are in small
actions. If we fail in our present
circumstances to live nobly, we
need not imagine we should have
done better on grander scale
Develop great character in sim
pie duties and in lnconspicuous
trials. F"
"To be of good cheer in case Of
disappointment; exercise greater
charity toward the erring, and
make moro allowance for the
opinions of people whose views
differ from mine; to smile more
and frown less"
"To be honest; to be kind; to
earn a little, and to spend a little
less; to make upon the whole a
family happier for his presence;
to renounce, when that shall be
necessary, and not be embittered;
to keep few friends, and these
without capltulatlon; above all, on
the same grim condition, to keep
friends with hlmself-here is q
task for all that a man has of fort
itude and delicacy,

congratulated me on being one of
the five who got away from him
on that Sunday in June. The
five got back to McConnellsburg
in quick time, picked up the bal
ance Of the company and set out
for Bloody Run. In leaving the
vest end of the town we took
what was called the cid peach or.
chard road. We had not gone
over half amile before we saw
body of rebels riding toward us
on a road to the south. Having
too few men in oar party to give
them fight we started off at full
speed, and having seen us they
gave chase, SIX mile run, being
hear enough to fire shots for most
of the distance. My horse was
hit twice but not crippled serious
ly. We finally shook them off and
went into camp about 8 p. M, next
day returning to Bloody Run.
While at this last camp, on a Mon
day morning we saw q large body
of men approaching, some IN blue
and some IN gray uniforms. We
were at q loss to know whether
they were rebels that had captur-
ed union men or union men that
had captured rebels-the puzzle
being solved when we observed it
was the union men that carried
arms. 1t turned out to be sixty

NEW COUNTY OFFICIALS.
The Old Retire Gracefully, and the New
Move Ahead Without a Jar.

The keys of the Jail were turn
cd over to James G.. Alexander
last week, and he was duly in.
stalled as sheriff of Fulton coun-
ty. The fact chat he was elected
over strong Democratic com
petitor, shows his popularity, aud
we have no doubt he will make a
very atisfactory official. He ap-
pointed Mr.. w. H. Nesbit of this
place as deputy sheriff, an ap.
polntment that is IN every way
satisfactory.
Mr.. and Mrs. d. g. Fleck, on
last Thursday went back to their
old home at Fort Littleton. Du.
ring their three years residence
in McConnellsburg they enjoyed
the esteem Of every body in the
Borough, and 1t was with regret
that they did not remain as per-
manent residents. While some
OF the work connected with the
discharge of the duties of sheriff
was dlstasteful to Uncle Dan, he
on account of his uniform kind
ness to the unfortunate people
who were placed in the jail under
his guardianship, was loved as
father.
Fulton county's old purse was
tranferred from the pocket of
George B. Mellott INTO that of
Adam G. Lauver.
No more careful man than
George has ever been entrusted
with the coin of this county, and
when the day came to turn the
books over to his successor, there
was clean sheet. Especially Is
this true of the unseated land tax
which usually hangs back, but,
in this instance, less than seven
dollars was back to annoy the new
treasurer.
The splendid endorsement Mr..
Lauver received at the polls shows
that the people of the county
wanted him for the custodian of
the county's funds. Adam IS
courteous, obliglng, and capable,
and Will make a popular official.
He does not have a deputy.
A. j. Fore, will manipulate the
tripod and compass for the coun-
ty during the next three years.
Andy is well qualified for the
work and wilk make an efficient
officer.
Jonas Lake the retlring officer
is too well known to need any
commentator at our hands, hav-
ing served as county surveyor
