On our rounds we hear it frequently remarked that the many friends of our young lawyer friend, W. Harrison Walk er, E:q., the present «ficient Burgess, of Bellefonte, are urging him to become a candidate for assembly this year. Hes a bright and popular attorney, has all the qualifications, and it is not every day that the office seeks the man, but on the contrary the man usually seeks the of. fice. If he takes the step and agrees to become a candidate he will make a strong one, and if nominated and elected he would be a member that would be a credit to his county and himself, as he is upright, honest and who would do bis whole duty come what may. Few young attorney's have risen as rapidly as Mr. Walker has, and he bas made himself just what be is. He 1s the junior partner in the strong law firm of Fortney & Walker, whose name is favorably known far and pear.—From Friday's Philips burg Journal. ! - ! He Liked the Sample, Ulysses 8S.

During the past week the announce: ment came from reliable sources that at last the two great railway systems, the Penna, R. R.
