Mrs. HARDING, wife of William HARDING, Sr., died Sunday morning after a brief illness. She was the mother of
George W., and William HARDING of this place.

The young acquaintances of "Pete" MYERS feel chagrined at the way he played it on them. Peter bided
his time, went out quietly, brought home a wife, and the story was an old one before the boys found out. Success to you, Peter.

The wind was on a high Friday night, and rattled loose things in a lively manner. Part of a house in Center township was
