Saturday morning.
We were summoned to this borough Tuesday
morning by a telegram announcing that our
trusted associate Mr. O. D. GOODKNOLGH,
more familiarly known as " Ben" bad receiv
ed injuries of a serious nature. We were
pleased to find on our arrival that he was not
hurt so badly as reported, although he was
found to be suffering from severe contusions
on the head and sbouiders, which were caus
ed by a caboose passing over him while he
was wedged in the timbers of a eulvert, into
which he inadvertently stepped while getting
out of the way of a passing train. He was
removed to his home in Wellsooro. He is
sadly missed in this office, and owing to the
nature of his injuries, it will probably be
some little time before bis friends will see
his genial face again.— Blossburg Jiegister.

C'IIARA VS. FAther STACK. This decision
defeats Father Stack and sets at rest a case
that has been iu litigation for a long term
of years.
About the busiest place in town is the Five
Cent Store. The designation, by the way, is
a misnomer. It should be called the Bazaar,
as it contains almost everything; articles from
the lowest to the highest price. It is a favor
ite resort for the ladies. One of the firm
goes to New York this week to buy new
goods.
The first exhibition of the Union Agricul
tural Association, held on their grounds at
Canton, last week, was a success both financi
ally and also as regards the exhibit itself.
The buildings .are all new, were well filled,
nearly every department being fully rep
resented. The Association claim they have
one of the best half-mile tracks in the county.
The races doubtlessly attracted a part of the
crowd, but while ttiey attract some they keep
others away. For our part we do not be
lieve in horse racing at Agricultural Fairs.—
The officers aud stockholders of the Union
Agricultural Assotiation are to be congratu
lated on the success of this their initial exhi
bition. It is believed the society will be able
to liquidate its eutire indebtedness and have
something left iu the treasury.
