They were on their way to Soil!, going

the track one of the employes concluded
that it was just about tulle to blow the
whistle, no apparent necessity for it, the
result of which caused the horse to take
fright, and iu turning both parties were

eloquence Isere "immense." M. C. C.

-Secretart. Speeches were made by
Mr. En. GUINANE and a gentleman by
the name of BAILEY. During the con
tinuance of the meeting the small cannon
belonging to the Eureka Works was
stationed on the rivers' bank and belched
forth its thunders. The Court House

SUNDAY laBt was observed as "Chil

Church was very beautifully trrimmed
with flowers, and the ceremonies were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Witt, Tav
ton, iu a very feeling- and impressive
manner. A large audience was present,
the Church being lulled to its utmost
cap icity.
A BOY, ALLIE SAYLER, working for L.
C. VAN HORN, in Granville, says the
Troy Gazette of last week, was seriously
injured on Saturday night la!t while re
turning from the Summit. The horse he
was riding became frightened at the cars
and running, pitched him off on the high
bridge at The deep cut, ,just• missing a fall
into the cut. Not returning as soon as
expected, Mr. Vsx Minx went to the
barn and found the boy out of his, senses
by the fall holding the horse which had
led him home while he clung to the bri
dle, and entirely oblivious of where ho
was or that the horse was there.
THE Tunklianneck Republican, for the
third time in-the past four years, was en
larged in form last week. The Republican
is one of the best papers in Northern
Pennsylvania ; and under Mr. CAMP'S edi
torial Management has become a powerful
advocate of Repu!ican principles and
one of the recogniz organs of the party.
As a : local paper, giving the news of its
county and vicinity, it has few superiors
and fewer equals. The best evidence that
the labors of Mr. CAmP to give the people
of Wyoming county a first-class newspa
per have bepn appreciated is contained in
the fact t,liat notwithstanding Wyoming
is Deniocrdtic, yet the Republican's list
of subscribers has grown from less than
800 four years ago to over '2,000 at the
present time, and that its circulation is
greater thau any other paper in that
county. May it continue to grow.

Servient to the public, gcsid,. and the vol
