Governor Hastings on Tuesday
appointed J. W. Kurtz of Berwick, to

You are too young, no matter what

by the use of Ayer s Hair Vigor. It

restores gray and faded hair to its

Two bears, and three men furnish
ed considerable amusement, for a
lanre crowd of people on Market
Square Friday. The bears had been
taught to go through all kinds of
movements, the most laughable
sight of the lot being a wrestling
match with a man. It took considei
able time for the latter to prove his
superiority, but he finally came out
ahead, downing the bear two times
out of three. To witness the above
the spectators had to raise 75 cents.

Apropos of the late death of Mrs
Henry Ward Beecher, it is curious to
reflect that Mrs. Theodore 1 llton is
yet alive, though a great sufferer.
She was blind for many years (trom
cataracts), but owing to successful
operations can now see, and lives in
Brooklyn with her old mother. The
odore Tilton lives in Paris and writes
for newspapers, though few Americans
know or even see him. One of his
daughters is married in Chicago, and
the other teaches school in Brooklyn.
FAID HIS TAX,
G. M. Follmer, whose name ap
peared in the council proceedings as
one of those for whom the collector
asked exoneration for the tax of 1894,
as it had not been paid, has asked us
to make correction, and produced his
tax receipt ."or 1894 dated March 6,
1896, and signed by J. K. Bitten
bender, collector. This shows that
Mr. Follmer had paid his taxes for
that year, and his name should not
have appeared in the list of delinquents.

proceedings.

After two long years of talk, doubt
and postponements, the heavy-weight
championship of the world was decid
ed beyond the shadow of a doubt
al Carson City, yesterday afternoon,
when Robert FiUsimmons landed a
heavy blow under Corbett's heart
which sent him sprawling to the floor.
The fight was a fine exhibition of
science, and clean and fast from the
start to fi..ish, and demonstrated that
Corbett is the cleverest boxer that
ever stepped in the ring and that
Fitzsimmons can hit him. The fight
during the first thirteen rounds was not
marked by a great deal of heavy hit
ting except in the sixth round when
Corbett landed two heavy blows on
his opponents face, but from then on
till the fourteenth round both men
went very cautiously. The fourteenth
and last round was as follows :
Corbett made a light pass for Fitz,
but missed his mark; Fitz returned
with a heavy blow on Jim's face.
Then came the fatal punch. Fitz
struck at Corbett, and instead of Jim
dodging as had been his former prac-
tice, he simply threw back his head,
this threw his stomach forward and
Fitz, with twinkle in his eye, sprang
forward and taking advantage of the
opening landed a heavy left-hander on
Jim's heart, which raised him about a
foot off the ground, and as he pitched
forward Fitz swung his right on the
jaw and Corbett came heavily down
on his knees. He remained down
until after Referee Siler had counted
the fatal seconds, and Fitz was de
clared the victor.
