ty's member of the Assembly in COM
mittee assignments, having placed him

There being no criminal business on
the docket and none in sight, Judge Rice
ordered that no grand jury be drawn for
the February term, and the court will be

for Matrimony" in the February Wom-
ans Home Companion, Anna Steese
richardson proves conclusively that the
majority of business girls of to-day do
not marry because the men they might
marry do not earn as much money as
they do. Mrs. Richardson speaks with
authority has greater experience

nestic content and maternal instinct. Is
it worth while?"

from the Oil City hospital as to the con-
dition of Mike EIios, the Syrian peddler
who was so seriously wounded by a
charge of birdshot at Newmansville last
week, by Frank Mealy, and the proba-

vocal organs having been injured by one
of the shot pellets which penetrated the
throat. 1t is now believed the sight of
both eyes can be saved. The lad who did
the shooting is still in the custody OF the
Sheriff of Clarion county, and the case
will be brought before the grand jury at
its next sitting for investigation.
That some person or persons are
treading on dangerous ground mp around
Sheffield is evidenced by the following
shot from the Observer of last week:
