The with ered body of the child is understood to have beon found in a box inside of an old trunk on which was piled a quantity 'of corn fodder. Whether the body had ever had life or not is not at present known, but this may be dovcloped later. The gruesome find has caused considerable wonder among the people of that seotion. Forest County's First Recruit. A porbonal letter from our patriotic young friend, George Birtcil, slates that when he reported at League Island Navy Yard for enlistment last week he was in formed that he would have to take his place on tho receiving ship and await or ders; that it was not likely be would got away from there for a month or two. This was too slow for George, and he re turned to Mt. Gretna aud enlisted with the N. G.P. boys who expect to be called out at any moment. Of his experience thus far in camp, George says : "I was out on drill for the first time to day, the Cth. It rained very hard all of yesterday, and the camp being located on a large bed of bogg-ore everything was as red as our battlefield will be after we get through with the Dons. If any of our boys could have seen our camp yester day they would doubtless have folt like staying at home. It was a very gloomy camp. There are quite a number of the boys in the hospital.

Never in the history or the county has a more enthusiastic audience assembled in our town than was gathered at the court house last Friday evening in re sponse to the call for meeting to organ ize a company for the war with Spain. The large court room was early packed with the patriotic citizens or this place aud the surrounding country. Old men and young, gray haird vetorans, ladies and children were there and vied with each other in efforts to show their loyalty to the flag. The meeting was railed to order and C. A. Randall was made Presi dent, with the following Vice-Presidents: Jonas Shunk, Lemuel Welf, J. C. Miller, Kingsley township; L. E. Osgood, Hick ory; C. W. Clark and J. B. Agnow, Tio nesta. J. B. Muse was elected Secretary. Rev.'R. A. Buzza invoked the Divine blessing on the meeting. On assuming the chair Mr. Randall expressed his thanks for the distinquished honor of having been chosen to preside at a meet ing of this character. Berlin Post mar tial band was present, and the good old fife and drum were very frequently call ed into requisition during the evening, and the cheers aud shouts of the crowd knew no bounds. Rev. Mr. Buzza waR called for aud made tho speech of tho evening, and for over half an hour fired the audienoe with greatest enthusiasm by bis eloquence. Jonathan Albaugb also made a short speech in which he recalled many incidents or the late war and warned the boys that it was no mere boys' play. The rolls were then opened, and an opportunity given to all who wished to enroll their names for the im pending war. A large number came to the front and added their names to those already on the list. After singing Amer ica by all present the audience was dis missed to allow the company to effect a temporary organization. The audience having filed out, a tempo rary organization was effected as follows: President, John Swanson; Vioi Presi dent, J. C. Soowden, Secretary, J. D. Davis; Treasurer, K. C. Heath. A com mittee was appointed to look up a suita ble place for holding company drills. Upward of 90 names were on the roll at this time, which number has since been increased to nearly if not quite 100. A resolution was adopted naming Saturday as training day, and a meeting will be held next Saturday for that purpose, at the old rink building, which has been secured and will answer the purpose ad mirably. Look for a crack company from this section. No better material is to be found in the world. Romember the Maine. Tho Late Dr. T. D. I) mm. Dr. Thomas D. Dunn, well known to many oreur citizens, died in West Ches ter, Pa., May 6, 1808. II is death was the result or injuries received from being thrown from his carriage some two months ago. His sufferings were intense. Last Sabbath Dr. Martin, of tbe 1st Regt., Philauelphia, stationed at Mt. Gmtna, having been summoned, he, with others, performed an operation which was only satisfactory as concerning the cause. His iil'e could not be saved and he '.ling ered until Friday noon, when he passed away, leaving a wife and daughter, and a large connection of his own to mourn his departure. He died beloved by all who knew him. He bad a very extensive practice and was so kind and sympathet ic to all. His funeral took place on Mon day afternoon of this week. His wife will be remembered as Kate Coob, who lived in this place from childhood until her marriage. He was a cousin of Mrs. Irwin of this place. He was aged about 43 years. m. T. i. The following additional information respecting this sad doath is gathered from tho West Chester daily News: All West Chester folt the shock when it came to he known on Saturday even ing that Dr. Thomas D. Dunn, one of West Chester's leading physicians and surgeons, had beon taken to the Chester County Hospital for the performance of an operation which his critical condi tion rendered necessary, and the outcome of which was very doubtful. There was a feeling of despondency on the part of his many friends, for it seemed that his case was desperate. Their fears were strengthened when in response to in quiries on Sunday evening it was learned that tbe surgeons in attendance had little hope that he would pull through the night. Ho did, howovor, linger through the night, and for a long time afterwards, as is now well known. But death came at last, and his aufforings are now ended. Dr. Dunn was a son of Rev. Thomas II. and Diantha M. (Curtis) Dunn and was born in Crawford county, Pa., Jan. 30, 1855. He was consequently in his 41th year, and but for a sad accident which occurred about two months ago might now be in good health. Dr. Dunn was united in marriage on November 28, 1883, with Miss Kate E. Cobb, a daughter of T. B.Cobb, of Tionesta, Forest county, Pa. Their union was blessed with one chi(l, a daughter, named Rachel, who was born April 4th, 1885, and who with her mother survives the deceased. Memorial Day Program ot Berlin I'ost.

Such enlistment and service will in no wise prejudice, change or injure any member's certificate or standing in the Great Camp of the Maccabees, He says : "One of tho cardinal principles of our organization is loyalty to our country's laws." A late fiat of fashion, as reported by a Now York paper, desrees that there shall bo no more gold in teeth. Gold in the midst of a "row of pearls," tbe leader Bay, is too conspicuous to be in good form; that none oT the yellow metal should show when a society bell or beau laughs. In place ef gold the fashionable dontists are now using a white metal that hardens very quickly and when hard looks precisely like the tooth itself. Gold may still be used where it doesn't show. Not one person in a thousand in reading tho dispatches from the Philip pines gives a thought as to how the news comes to New York a distance by cables and land of 14,311 miles.
