Such catches of suckers as the boys are making at the pond, these days, have never before been witnessed in this vicinity.

Last Saturday afternoon James De- lawder, son of Mr. David Delawder, residing near Oakland, went down to Coddington’s riffle, a favorite spot in the Big Yough for anglers, and suc- ceeded in landing six immense black bass in a remarkably short time. Four of the fish weighed nearly ten pounds, the largest one measuring nineteen inches. These are by far the largest bass caaght in the waters of this sec- | tion for a long time, and the successful angler was quite elated over his catch and took pleasure in showing them to many persons on the streets and in places of business.—Oakland Republi- can.

His wife died some years ago, and his three daughters, all of | whom were grown, died of consumption during the last few years. Much sym- pathy is felt for Mr. Hawn, for he is now left alone in his old age, and to add to his sorrow he is crippled and in poor health. Mr. Hawn is an old vet- eran of the 54th Pa.

For some years past Mr. Schrock has been successtully editing the Defiance Herald and the Defiance Crescent, two papers published in the state of Ohio. These papers have been greatly improved and enlarged under his management and were rapidly bringing Mr. Schrock into prominence in the Ohio newspaper world. Five days ago he was afflicted with appen- dicitis and was taken to Chicago to un- | dergo an operation. The operation was performed Monday and he died Mon- day night. Mr. Schrock had made all arrangements to visit his parents this week, expecting to arrive in Somerset to-day.—Somerset Democrat. - When the Baltimore and Ohio excur- sion train pulled into Connellsville from | Cumberland,Sunday night at 11 o’clock, | the people on board were a struggling, | fighting mass of humanity.

The distance was frac- tion over nine miies, over the Boynton, Coal Run and St. Paul course, which is very hilly, full of ruts, loose stones and dust. The following time was made: Brant, 33 minutes and 50 seconds; Werner, 36-41; Jones, 38-12. Remark- able time, indeed, to be made on such a road. The base ball game between I'rost- burg and Coal Run clubs was a victory for Frostburg. The score was 11 to 6. The parade, while having a good many people in it, was not what it would have been if proper interest would have been taken in this feature by the. business men of the town. MH. Gi. Wilhelmi, howover, took an active interest in the parade, and dressed as a i a clown, added much merriment to it. Meyersdale, Rockwood, Grantsville, Frostburg, Lonaconing and many other localities were well represented here, and altogether the .affair was an ex- ceeding great success. : — More than twenty million free samples of DeWitt’s Witeh Hazel Salve have been dis- tributed by the manufacturers.
