The papers oi the large cities are
all right if you want them, but it is
the local paper that advertises your
business, your churches, your num
erous societies, sympathizes with
you in your afflictions and rejoices
with 3*ou in your prosperity. In
short it is the local paper that men
tions the thousand and one items in
which you are interested during the
year, and which you do not find in
the papers of the large cities.
Atty. F. 11. Ingham while out
gunning on Tuesday accompanied
by his-dog shot a very large cata
mount on the John Reynold's farm
near the old Davidson road. Tlie dog
had pursued it for some little time
and during the chase Frank shot at
it four times, the last taking effect
in the leg. The cat ran a short dis
tance from where it was wounded
and treed under a log when the dog
not knowing the nature of the beast
made a lunge for it and was fearfully
cut about the head by the large and
sharp claws of fhe cat. The dog
made a retreat to the top of the log
and awaited his masters coining.
When Frank had advanced to with
in several feet of the beast he raised
his head over the log growlicjg and
showing his teeth in an ugly fanner-
The hunter took aim with tine shot
and excavated a hole in the »nimals
head as large as the muzzle pf his
gun. At this writing the valuable
dog owned by the hero is it very
poor health, having lost a consider
able a uount of blood in the uracus.
ft is more than likely that l(e will
survive, however. The boufty on
wild cats, is $2.00. 4
Calanders of 1891 will soon be in

A Deaf-Mu e W d iinq.
On Wednesday afternoon Nov.
j 26th, at 4 o'clock was solemnized
'the marriage of John P. Kennedy of
jLaPorte, Pa., and Miss Maria Cram
|er of Hastings, N. Y. The couple
are deaf-mutes, and graduates of
i the central New York institution for
deaf-mutes in this citv. The cere
mony was performed in St. Mary's
Church by Rev. Father Smith, with
Prof Edward B. Nelson asinterpre-j
ter, in the presence of a large number
of pupils, officers of the institution]
and other friends. The bride was I
charming in a lavender colored dress!
and the groom bore himself well in I
the conventional black. The brides-1
maid was a sister of the bride, and
the groom's best man was Lewis
Boyd of New Woodstock, N. Y.
The happy couple left on the 0:24
train lor a trip north, after which
they will settle at LaPorte, Pa.,
where the groom is in business. The 1
best wishes of a host of friends go
with them. By the way these make
thirteen former pupils of the Central
New York Institution for Deaf-
Mutes who have been married since

MR. EDITOR: —Wo have read 0011-
'siderable in your paper, (editori
ally or otherwise) about "side walks
to the school house"for the children
|in the Ist Ward. Periisps you are
| not aware that the borough council
i have overstepped their power b}' al
ready accepting more road Bills,
j and granting orders for the same,
| than the amount which belongs to
j that part of the borough and would
j suggest that if "a majority of our
people" are so anxious to have a
i sidewalk, they would not be the
I first party in the borough to do a
'little work on the roads at their own
expense.
| There is a certain class of people!
in our town who spend a good part
of their time talking about their
.neighbors. Such people are a dis
grace to a community.
I SCHOOL DIRECTOR and COUNCILMAN.
The majority of our town readers
| are knowing of the fact that new
'side walks constructed in LuPorte
j are built at the expense of property
iowners by which said walk passes;
said property owners are also at the
expense of keeping in repair said
walks, hence no levy is made upon
j taxes collected by the borough for
the building of side walks in either
: the Ist or 2nd Ward, of this city.
Should the council approve the
construction o( a walk to the new
school house which is greatly need
ed and choose King St., tor the site
of the same the following individuals
would be at the expense of building
the same, viz : James Walsh, T. J.
Reeler and Judge lughain. Should
they request one built from the 2nd
Ward the expense would be wholly
upon James McFarlane & Co., who
own all lands by which said walk
would run. This will satisfy all
that a donation of work is not neces
sary as our correspondent suggests.
The last paragraph given by our cor
respondent is true in every respect
—ED.
INSURANCE NOTlCE. —Notice is
