The following clipped from the the Wyalu

is perfectly correct, barring the name of

that THOMAS was the.son of our distinguish
e I and able fellow citizen, Hon. E. 11. MYER:
Thomas E. Myer, a talented young lawyer
of Tow anda, has hung his shingle out in our
village, and awaits clients. Thomas comes
of good stock —being a son of Howard Myer,
a man of acknowledged ability and integrity.
A brave woman like a brave man, deserves
much credit. Brayery in its true meaning, is
to meet heroically eyery emergency, We cite

down, fastening his claws 011 a young turkey,
when Mrs. C. L. SQUIRES of Pike, caught up
a rifle, and with a steady aim, fetched the
monster on the wing to the ground—landing
the turkey unhurt. This is an example for
the Leraysyille Rifle Team, and one too
which they would find it difficult lo equal.—

Germauia Band will honor "mine host"
Maj. SEKLY with a serenade this evening.

PARKER, the vidian who assaulted Mrs.
BULL, an account of which appears 011 our

DIED.—III Montrose, Pa.. Sunday morning,
July 2-tth, Mrs. LYDIA C. SEARLK. widow of
L. SKARLE, Esq., who died in December last.
Mrs. SEARLK was about seventy years of age,
a lady of rare literary attainments, being the
author of several works of great merit. She
was the daughter of Elder DIMMICK, one of
the pioneer preachers in northern Pennsylva
nia. She was beloved by all who knew her,
and especially the needy. No one ever left
her door without a kind word, accompanied
with something to make him or her happy.
This class will miss her kind words and char
itable gifts. She leaves a family of three
daughters and one son. To the children of
the deceased I would oiler my warmest sym
pathies m this hour of their great sorrow.—
Oiceyo Gazette.

Pennsylvania, to which the Ninth Regiment

Aug 23d to 2SJth. The inspection by the Ad
utant General will take place during the En
campment. The Ninth Regiment will be in
spected 011 Thursday, Aug. 25, at 3 p. m.
The Brigade will be reviewed by the Gover

inspection will be vigorous. The law now
requres the attendance of all officers and men
unless excused by the Brigade Commander
i for such reasons only as would prevail in ac
tual service. Since tlie men are now paid for
live days service, the attendance of the Guard
will 110 doubt be very large. Co. A, of this
place belongs to the Ninth Regiment.

day. From just after the morniug dress
ing till about 0 p. m., he has had his head
and shoulders elevated by a frame beneath
the mattress, has taken and relished an
ample supply of nourishment and contin
ues to improve in general condition. The
appearance of the wound at the evening

The afternoon rise in temperature has
been quite insignificant. At present the
pulse is 104, temperature 90, respiration
20.
The News Condensed.
