The deceased, who has several relatives in Sayre, vis- ited here a few days ago, and fol~ lowing his return home was attacked with pacumonia. Mr. Goff was born in Rome, this 52 years ago.

Kessler, Jr, of Towanda, and a member of the firm of Reeser, Kessler, Wieland Co, of this place, by the lucky circumstance of a few minutes start, narrowly escaped being robbed at Nordmont Tues- day evening of this week. Mr. Kessler is connected with the big Nordmont Chemical works and is also connected with the store and postoffice in that place. Yester- day was payday at the works and Mr. Kessler and a clerk from the postoffice took $2000 with them to their boarding house. The money was to be used in paying the men. Mr. Kessler started for the works and a few minutes after he left the clerk who carried about $100 in stamps followed. Three men set upon, the clerk threw a blank et over his head, and succeeded in getting the postage stamps.

LEAVING FOR ITALY Many of the Italians who have been employed in this section for the past nine months by the Le- high Valley are leaving for Italy. The average Italian dislikes to spend the winter in this climate and much prefers the sunny clime of Italy. The various steamship companies make low rates to Italy at this season of the year and the Italians take advantage of them. In fact the cost of going to Italy in the steerage and remaining there for the winter is not much more than living for, the same period of time in this country.
