Tash. the one Hatters and Furnishers of

already so full of u'ovtllies and holiday
goods that we must refer our readers to
their advertisement instead of going
into details, but for general meutluu of
their business principles we can an
nounce that they are one price, and war
rant that to be the lowest-price, while
they eBRcrly refund tha money In every
instance Hint it is desired. There is
probably no better place In the city to

Snd Accident. A correspondent from
Man's Choice, Bedford county, says : A
sad accident occurred at our place on the
morning of the 7th Inst. Mr. George M.
Calvin, lady and child, of Schellsburg,
came to the St. Cloud Hotel In the night
train, from the funeral of Mrs. C.'s
parents; staying! at the St. Cloud all
night. In the morning Mr. C. walked
out in the baok yard, where the path
was very Icy, when his feet slipped and
he fell full length on the broad of his
back. From the chock he received his
entire system was so prostrated that be
has been entirely helpless ever since,
with little hopes of his recovery.
Life Insuruuce. The Juniata Sentinel
gives the following list of insurances:
There must be nearly, or quite a half
million of Insurance on old people who

Richfield. Let me see, there is old Mr.
Hendricks, aged about 80 years, he is
Insured for $135,000, Mrs. Siders, about
the same age Insured for $130,000, Mr.
McCounell, aged, Insured for $30,000.
Old Mrs. Meltbrd insured for $100,000.
Mrs. Karstetter aged about 80, insured
for $20,000. Old Mr. Keller Insured for
$00,000, which swells the sum up to
between four and live hundred thousand
dollars. Recently a Mrs. Cluck died.
She was largely Insured. I could men
tion others but the list is large enough
for this time. Perhaps the next time
we meet and talk about life insurance
the list can be run up to a million.

of the season we have determined to
