‘nected with their arrests, which under the ee TTS ——In accordance with an act of the last legislature, boroughs that have not been divided into wards will, at the coming February election, elect seven new councilmen, no matter how many hold-overs they may have. This will give to some of the boroughs in this county ten members of council, while others will have as high as fourteen. After the expiration of the time for which members of council, now acting, were elected, the number of councilmen in each borough will be seven. This does not apply to boroughs that have been divided into wards. ——The Devils Lake North Dakota, Free Press says, “William Truckermil-. ler, of Morris township, threshed 7 acres of orts which averaged 110 bush- els to the acre, and 45 acres of wheat which averaged 35 bushels. This is a remarkable yield of oats.”” Mr. Truck- ermiller will be remembered by most of our readers down the Nittany Valley as a former resident of that valley, and which fact will partially account for his success as a western farmer. There are no better farmers in this wide-world than those from whom Mr. T., learned how to raise 110 bushels of oats to the acre, and they sre still living and pros- pering in the pretty valley that he left some ten years ago.

The reverend gentleman is a very fine and agreeable speaker, and his re- marks received the closest attention. Contrary to custom and expectations the Republicans nominated a straight ticket, instead of a mixed one of both parties, as formerly, and also nominated John Allbright tor constable, an unac- countable break, because useless ; as the township i ovescimingry DS ocratic, the defeat of the Republican ticket is a foregone conclusion.

The papers consist of (reneral Porter's memoirs of his in- tercourse with the great commander, both in the line of duty as his staff officer, and as a friend who shared his confidence to the end of his life. From the beginning of the intimacy General Porter made notes of important con- veraations bearing on military acts, and of the recollections and anecdotes which, contrary to his reputation as a silent man, were char- acteristic of Grant's moments of relaxation: The author, whose terse and anecdotal style is wall known through his public speaking, has been engaged on the work for several years, aud it is now nearly a year since the serial and books rights were secured by The Century Co.

Would not ; the same be applicable to county officers, more especially as the nominations will be made two months earlier than in former years? Permit me to name one of Penns valley's best men; one who so acceptably filled the Prothonotary’s office by appointment for a brief period, with credit and fidelity, proving him- self a most careful and obliging official to every body, regardless of politics, race or religion. Although he pressed his claims for the Prothonotaryship but was unsuccessful he did not sulk in his tent but rolled up his sleeves and pitched in for the success of his Jucky competitor. Such menare sure to be rewarded for their devotion sooner or later, and it dees seem that W. B. Mingle's time has come. Mr. Mingle has all his life been in close touch with the pecple in hls business rela- tions, and has always shown himself a friend to the poor and laboring classes. Personally he is a pleasant, genial and highly popular man, and his name on the ticket will add strength to it, and make it one that the Demo- cracy can cheerfully support and thereby bring back our old time majorities.
