Death of a Bright Boy.
On Thursday morning, January 30th, 1896,
the angel of death-entered the before unbroken
home of Mr. and Mrs. David Behrer and car:
ried away the soul of Richard Palmer Behrer,
the eldest son. Deceased was born June 5th,
1888, and died at the age of 7 years, 7 months
and 25 days. His sickness was very brief he
havidg been able to attend school only about
one week prior to his death from meningitis,
caused by an accident which happened during
t he previous summer. The funeral took place
from Gray's church. Interment at Gray's
cemetery, Rev. Geo. Singer preached the fu-
neral sermon.
Richard was an exceptionally bright boy, at
tentive at school, loving kind and helpful at
home ; and he leaves behind him many sor-
rowing friends, who sorrow for their loss but
are glad at his gain. ‘‘For there shall be no
pain there, neither sorrow nor death.”
The school sand classmates, in a body, took
an active part in the funeral services, giving
due reverence to the memory of their departed
friend.

Colds seem to be epidemic in our village:

It was remarked. the other day if all the people
in town would sneeze at one time the ‘ex.
plosion” would upset Egghill. That's a little
rough, but whether its on the peopleor Egg-
hill is a question.
Since the spring elections are over now for
the fall contest, candidates are beginning to
crop out from all points of the compass, some
are highly spoken of here, while others are in.
differently received, while some are heartily
denounced by their own party. When
the “crop’’ is about in, I'll report the general
pulse of these valleys on the different candi’
dates of both parties. Up to this time, I
really hear of but one or two of each party
who appear to have any permanent strength.
The late election passed off rather quietly
here, notwithstanding we had apparently a
fierce triangular contest for constable. ‘L'his
three cornered battle was simply a scheme
gotten up by a few dissatisfied Democrats,
who were bitterly opposed to Mr. Kline, the
regular nominee, and of course urged on by
the Republican managers to put a third can-
didate in the field with the hopes of dividing
‘the Democratic vote and electing Mr. Al
bright, Republican, constable. But it proved a
miserable failure. The vote as returned was
Kline (Dem.) 124, Albright (Rep.) 99, and
Ream (Ind.) 78 electing Mr. Kline, present in
cumbent, by a plurality of 25 votes. J. F.
Breon (Dem.) made a very narrow escape, but
was elected school director by a majority of 2
over his Republican competitor. For judge
of election D,, H. Ruhle (Rep) was elected by
a majority of 13 over J. B. Heckman (Dem.) in
a Democratic stronghold. W. W. Allisen
(Rep.) for school director received the re-
markable vote of 188, being from 85 to 90 votes
above his party strength. This will he Mr.
Allison’s second term. The balance of the
Democratic ticket was elected:
