White township, are also low with the same fever.

Lysander Barrett, of West Mahoning township, has left with us the champion
apple, it is of the variety known as mammoth pippin, weighs 19 ½ ounces,
measures 14 inches. Who can beat it? Don't all speak at once. Would like to
have a few more of them rusty coats.

Improvements are still going on. -Gen. White's house is rapidly approaching
completion. It will be one of the most elegantly furnished and completely
arranged houses in this vicinity.
Several new houses are being erected along the railroad.
Wm. A. Stewart, by a judicious display of good taste has added very much to
the appearance of his residence on Church street. It is now one of the most
attractive residences on that street.

Two young girls, named Wilt, living near Martinsburg, Blair county, were
attacked by a ferocious dog and nearly eaten up on the 23d ultimo.

BLARISVILLE ITEMS.
ANOTHER STRIKE. It is out pleasant duty to record another strike, but not
for higher wages this time however, but a strike from bachelor quarters to
the shining paths of married life, at 6 o'clock this (Thursday) evening the
benedicts will have a new recruit in the person of our medical friend Dr.
S.R. Rutledge, this morning the doctor strikes for Palmerville, Allegheny
county, where he will at the hour mentioned above, be united in marriage to
Miss Lide J. Hall. The ceremony will take place at he residence of the
bride's mother. The doctor will be supported in the trying moment by Dr.
R.P. Hunter, of Leechburg. -The same evening the happy couple, for tradition
tells us that all married people are happy, will start on an extensive
wedding tour, embracing a visit to California and in returning will visit
Salt Lake city, where "Doc" will hear how Brigham manages a house full of
wives, and the other points of interest on the Union Pacific railroad. The
"Doc's" host of friends here will be glad to hear of this strike. In the
short time he has resided here, he has endeared himself to many by his kind
manners, both in public and in the sick room, hi bride will be welcomed to
Blairsville, and in conclusion Doctor we can but say, may peace and
happiness be with you, and may all your troubles in life be little ones.
During the Doctor's absence, his business will be in the hands of Dr. Scott,
of Livermore.
