On Wednesday morning, while Joseph Hutchinson and Dennis Carrol were hunting dueks on the river, near the residence of Mrs. Bentley, at Court ney, they discovered the remains of a boy supposed to be about the age of 14, lodged in the root of a swall bush, on the river shore. 'Squire Kennedy was notified of the discovery of the body and its whereabouts, and at once held an inquest. The following jurymen were sworn: J. W.

Atkinson, Win. Elliot, J. tl. McCaskey, Wm. Huffman, Alden Hoyd, and Jno.

Critee. The jury rendered a verdict as follows: "Name of deceased and cause of death unknown." 'Squire Kennedy telegraphed Undertaker Myers at Monongahela City, who promptly responded and took charge of the body. He also telegraphed the captaia of the steamer Hunter at Pittsburgh to notify friends, as the remain were supposed to be that of a boy drowsed off the steamer Hurler Hunter near Webster last Spring. Decomposition renders the body beyond recognition, as there is nothing remaining of it save the trunk and limbs, which are destitute of llesh. Mr.

Brannon arrived in the city on Tnurs-day and unmistakably recognized certain patches on his clothing as that of his son who was drowned off the Hunter last April. The remains were taken to McKeesport for interment. Wedding Bells. Married, 23rd, by Rev. J.

He is a young man of fine promise and high attainments.

Miss Reis graduated from the California Normal School in 1878, and had been teaching at Bradford, She is a lady fitting to be a help meet for the gentleman chosen of her heart, by scholarship and by very many graces -which make her lovely as a woman and beautiful as a bride. The wedding was a quiet one, only two or three invited guests besides the immediate friends of the high contracting parties being present. The presents were many and handsome.

Dec. 24th. by Kev, S.H. Nesbit, Mr. P.

Wilson, of Allegheny City, and Miss Maggie Morgan, of Elkhorn. The marriage was celebrated at the home of the bride in Elkhorn. Whether ''the whole earth is claimed" or only a portion thereof. One should be certain his title is perfect towhat is claimed. When it comes to a question as to who sells the' most flour (for fear the public may be misled) we would say a word.

We are all poor sicked winners and liable to err; but 'tis said figures won't lie." So we have consulted the R. R. freight books, and they snow (we have the day and date for each shipment to show any one interested) that the claimants received from Oct. 20th to this date 352 sacks of flour; and during the same period the Market Exchange received 727 sacks of flour, and we have 13S sacks on the way now. Where is the large majority claimed.

These figures do not include that we have handled of Lotus, Perkin's and Country flour. We did not commence this personal stvle oi advertis ins but call again please we really think we will be able to keep up our end of it, and with facts. The people appreciate the fact that we first reduced flour to suit the times and no such flour as our "Eagle" at 81.00 per sack has been offered them. Therefore they buy it and our opposition is not happy we have also reduced the price of 38th, St. flour to 4.75 per barrel, whether you wish to purchase or not, will repay you during the holidavs to lo.k through the Market Exchauge.

We are surprised at seeing that our neigh bor has gone to so much trouble to prove a question which is not in dispute at all; the difference between the amount bought and the amount sold may be the difference between black and white, and an inspection of the ware-room of the "wicked sinner" will be suf ficient to convince those Interested of this fact, We have neither room, money nor inclination to buy flour for future us. We are willing to submit the question to theeople When you want a good sack of flour at the lowest rales, vou will find it at Patterson Stewart's Yes. come and inspect. If we have a tingle sack of "Eagle" over 57 we will present anv one with a sack of flout, and all together we have 91 sacks of the 727, and as we sold over 50 sacks Monday that is not a very large stoo fur future. We are not buying for future- fact is, we can hardly get enough for present We expected 500saekslast week, but were unable to get them, and the manufacturers are shipping it as fast as made.

Strikes us the "claimants" large majority has come out where the powder does. We have been informed that an opposition firm in their anxiety to stop the rush to our store, have procured a few of our second hand sacks that are branded "Eagle Brand of the Market Exchange," and have put a low grade in them and are offering them to the public as our flour Buyers, beware.
