thankfulness that we state that our
expectations have been more than re

was laying in the bed of the stream in

extended and served a-i anchors to
hold the body in place. This was on
the ninth day utter the drowning,
the body looking quite fresh, and with
no signs of dec-composition, the cold
water keeping it intact. The Inter
ment took place iu the orchard at
Raught's Mill.

Among the many contests of disap
pointed politicians for places occupied
by more fortunate rivals, the one in
which Mr. Curtin (the Great War
Governor), attempted to oust Mr.
Yoeliui, is at once the most costly, least
excusable, and longest winded of any
the records of congressional contests
can boast.
During the canvass Governor Cur
tin, while outside this congressional
district, was asked the name of bis op
ponent in the contest for congressional
honors. To this question the Great
War Governor replied, that he did not
know but he had been informed that
a chsp up there was running against
him and he was goin;j up to see about
it, although he thought there was
nothing of it. The result of the poll
ing was surprise party to the over
sanguine G W. (J. and smarting under
the loss of oooo Democratic majority,
at the same time thinking of the
shadoA of his former greatness, he
wisely resolved to contest Mr. Yoeum's
hard uud fairly, yes gloriously earned
laur Is, depending on his millions to
break down uu opponent whom he
knew to he u poor nun uud whom he
thought unable to stand u contest.
T ie sly old G.W. G. reckoned alone, for
Mr. Yocui.t's friends who did him
noble service iu the canvass refused to
torsade him in the contest. And to
O. B. Grant of this village, is due
great credit for the successful issue
which the case has at last readied, as
will be seen by the report of the action
in this case liy Congress on Tuesday,

Mr. Curtin is not happy. Why should
he be? The lesson he has learned at

Beautiful Flowers.
There Is, we veuture the assertion,
nothing that adds to tbe beauty and
attractiveness of one's home, nor gives
so much real delight to those persons
who love the beautiful and delight in
the radient sunshine and the song of
birds, as flowers, beautiful ' flowers,
acceptable they are whether mid the
frosts of winter or the heat of summer.
Of course while winter's dreary king
holds sway their scarcity makes them
ull the more welcome. Yet, when the
beautiful days come, gladdened by sum
mer's breezes, bird songs, fragrant
blossoms, hum of busy bees, und all
the attractions that come in this de
lightful season, who but the miser or
cynic would desire to see the sweet
flowers blotted from the glorious pan
orama of nature's lavish feast? How
incomplete would the summer be
without the flowers, one might as
well expect enjoyment from tho juicy
grape with the pulp removed, or thu
banquet board with tho feast left out.
The steady increase in the number of
persons in our pleasant village who
lake delight iu the cultivation of flow
ers Is a credit to our citizens. In this
Issue we publish Harry Chau pel's

Summer has conic, and with her
advent we are reminded that the pres
ent supervisors are woefully negligent
as regards the fixing of sidewalks
about our village. The walk on Elk
street has slipped down the embank
ment, a large hole near Aaron's saloon
makes a dungf -rous spot for strangers
after night, the walks at the west end
of South street are in terrible condi
tion, especially thu one at the foot
bridge near Mrs. Cunningham's. We
could multiply instances, however,
this is enou;:h. We suggest that our
worthy supervisors let up on pigeon
hunting long enough to attend to the
duties of their ollice, or resign to let
the court appoint men who will act.
This subject will be continued in a
more pointed manner in our next
issue unless tu-tion is taken by those
oiticers in the meantime.
