Those New Yorkers talk about bringing the fair there. They can't j appreciate the far. They have Mrs. Cleveland there, and the other day j 1 she was permitted to stand up in a ; ' horse car while it traveled a mile. If this is a fair specimen of New York courtesy and discernment, it is hardly fair for them to make the pretensions they do. Wm. Ilazzen of near Sonestown lost a valuable horse last week, valu able for its many years ol'service to Mr. Ilazzen. The animal would have been years old on the loth I day of May and had been the prop erty of but two persons including ; Mr. H. who purchased it when a | colt. The horse was renowned for its extra speed, kind und gentle manners. An army of 42,000 census ques | tioners will shortly be turned loose upon the country.

Christmas one week from next Wednesday. Why do we always talk of putting on a coat and vest! Who puts on a ccat. before a vc-t ? We always say putting on shoes r nd stocking '! Why puts on the shoes before the stock ings? We also put up signs telling people to wipe their feet, when we mean their boots or shoes. And a father tells a boy he will warm his jacket when he means to warm his pantaloons. We are a little ecentric in our phrases, aren't we at times? Perry King Al.

Cares of Mrtncy I Valley officiated. We shall give a sketch of deceased life in our next , issue. : MR. KIUTOR: —The article publish ed in the IlEi'i kucan at a recent date in reference to the necessity of ( erecting a church in the Bostiou school district Davidson twp., has met the approval of all our people with whom I have had the pleasure iof mentioning the subject. It is as ; you said wo have a large farming I district composed of good and j | liberal men and it is a mystery to ! me why something has n««t been j done in the interest of such n worthy i calling and especially when so much needed by our people, during the, | past years. The sight on the corner | near tin school house would be very i j appropriate for the edifice and j j would be a credit to our neighbor- : I hood. We have many good and i christian people in our midst who ' should and is looked upon as the ; proper persons to take the first step '• in this direction. Friends is it not your duty to make this advance ment ? Would it not be a credit to j us old settlers who have resided here j i' i a half century, to erect a mouu-1 inent in the shape of a church in j rememberance of our long career in I the wilds ot this portion of little | Sullivan. Neighbors give it your; thought for a moment, X KIGIIBOU. , [Owing to the fact that we are ! credited with the first step in this worthy cause we feel it our duty to i inscribe our name on the subscrip- ' tion paper (should there be one cir culated) and will do so to the j ' amount of $5,00. hn.] It is time that appli ants forcer.- 1 sus taking in each borough arid' township in the county, shall born up a,, d urge their right for the ap pointment. This is a Republican gift and of course we are all good Republicans. 'I lie person <>f l.aPortt*.\ho writes poetry and such trash fort in; Hughes- Mail and other worthies sheets ought to be in better busi ness. If the people of the county elevated his legal and learned quali ties half so great as the gentleman f it all picks a bare bone in the glare of bis neighbor's clustered I diamond a.— ZAncoln (Neb.) Call. HAPPY CHICAGO. Chicago gave I'resident Harrison an enthusiastic welcome M< " lav The President had the opportunity of being present at the opening of the Auditorium, the grand building in which his nomination for the Presidency was made. The build ing has since that memorable event been completed, and is now a very handsome structure. Chicago is ' quite proud of it, and she is also proud of having secured the pres ence cf President Harrison at its formal opening. Her delight will not reach full scope, however, until she captures the world's fair, and should she secure that, nothing will enable her to properly spread her self unless it should be the annexa tion of what little of the State ofj "Illenoy" still lies outside of the! city limits. Notwithstanding the j presentation of a bill in Congress.! yesterday to have the fair held in Washington, Chicago will -.till press , her claims, and not without hopes of success, either. The fact that of the Congressmen who have expressed a preference, the majority were for Chicngo, naturally gives her great encouragement. She is not, under any circumstances, a city that is j inclined to get discouraged easily j when she is making a push for any special point, and if energy, liberalij ty and perseverance will knock the | persimmons in the case, Chicago j may be said to have the pole. Jetferson Davis is dead. Let him rest in peace. His stormy creer is ended in the grave where all must; end. Future generations will give ' him his proper place in history, j We cannot. lie was mistaken,j but he was conscientious. I.et nil J ! throw the mantle of charity over \ his memory, and trust that those ! who are now so loyal to him and : the "Dead Cause." have discarded all ! bitterness and with the dawning of 1 a new era accept as imperishable the truths of the Declaration of In dependence and the Constitution. ; Esto fierpctua, lot it bo in truth, as I well as in name. The death of Mr. I Davis removes the last link in the chain of disunion, and while extend ling to his family and lYu;iu .. the | full measure of our sympathy and condolence, let us not forget our I duty to ourselves and our Govern ment, and clasping hands with our ! Southern brothers endeavor to make, Jour entire country a Government i"of the people, for the people and jby the people."
