lft li ii Recorded -The Brat of
January came this year pleasant and
delightful. At miduiuht the roaring ol
the gudgeon and ringing of bells made
night hideous. We awoke and ituse-
ined it to be the fourth of July. No
snow was on the ground and mud
reigned supreme in our streets. While
we are basking in warm sunshine and
auninie. weather we are told that in
more southern latitudes snow and ice
abound where the like has never been
known before. Is it possible that our
Centennial year will witness a complete
turn about in the climates of the uni
verse. At prestnt writing we have had
four beautiful summer days in the
month of January. P. S. We may
change our miud about this weather
business in our next issue.
Commissioners' Clerk Oo Mon
day and on Tuesday the new Board dl
County Commissioners were puzzled -is
to who should be their clerk lor the en
suing year.
The (ollowing names were proposed,
Gio. Kd. Weis, James Rogan, and L.
II Garner, of St. Marys; C. S. Luther,
of Fox; J D Fullerton, W. S. Horton.
M. S. Kline, J K Whitmore, and
Henry A Parsons J r of Ridgway. Geo
Ed Weia of St Marys seemed at first to
be the successful applicant, until the
question of salary was raised when be
declined, (or his friends lor him.) to
take less than 8550. The Commission
ers had already decided not to give
more thao 8500 to any man. A com
promise was finally affected by tba Com
tuissioners agreeing to give tho office to
a Democrat the first year, a Republican
the second and a Democrat the third
With this understanding W. S. Hor
ton was choaen as the Democrat candi
date lor the first year at a salary ol
8400. Mr. Horton is at nre:-aui
Deputy Prothonotary, and is tvery way
qualified to perform the important
duties of Commissioners' Clerk. We
wish him success.
Iletetofore the salary of Commission-
res' Clerk his been 8800 a year, and
we think the new board of Commission
ers are to be congratulated on laving
the county S400 a year. We believe
that retrenchment will now be tbe or
der of the day, as it should be, and we
may hope, ere the three years for which
thi Commissioners are elected are up,
to see Elk County orders at par, a con-
snmatioD most devoutly to be wished.
