From repeated and present use of
Dr. Fenner's imprtrved Cough Honey
in my family; I anl free to say that I
consider it the best remedy known for
coughs. Its action is prompt and reliable.-
In the frequent colds so common
among children, tho use of tho Cough
Honey will prove' a great boon.

There are several cases ot diph
theria in town, among which we men
tion Jerome Powell, Esq., E, J. Miller,
Editor of tho Democrat, Miss Clara
Brooks, Miss Mary Snyder, nnd B. F
Ely's little dauglftcn
The following item we clip from tho
Philadelphia Public Ledger, and we
think it fully explains itself:
A nice county is Elk, in this State",
when the grand jury lately stated for
the third time, that the county build
ingscourt house, treasurer's and pro
thonotary's offices, and jail buildings
are totally unfit for the purposes for'
which they arc intended.
The attention of our readers is
called to the advertisement of Dr. W;
Hariniau in another Column. Doctor
Hart man, has fitted up an office in J.
II. Hngerty's building, over the post
office, where he will attend to all calls
promptly:
The latest suggestion for solving the
political problem is that two or three
dozen Senators nnd Representatives
shall put their names in a hat, from
which seven shall then be drawn,
who arc to count the electoral vote ami
declare, without appeal, whom they
please to be President. There are
some merits in the idea.
Weather prophets all agree that
we are going to have a hard cold win
ter. As a precautionary measure we
notice Powell & Kime are getting in a
splendid stock of ready-made clothing.
For a trilling compensation they will lit

of death." A child, just blooming
into womanhood, of sweet disposition ,
and character, long will she be remem
bered by playmates and friends.
