LOCAL NEWS. Body Found. On Wednesday morning, while Joseph Hutchinson and Dennis Carrol were bunting ducks on the river, near the residence of Mrs. Bentley, at Courtney, they discovered the remains of a boy supposed to be about the age of 14, lodged in the root of a small 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, Wm. Elliot, J. H.

McCaskey, Wm. Huffman, Alden Hoyd, and Jno. Crites. The jury rendered a verdict as follows: of deceased and cause of death unknown." 'Squire Kennedy telegraphed Undertaker Myers at Monongabela City, who promptly responded and took charge of the body. He also telegraphed the captain of the steamer Hunter at Pittsburgh to notify friends, as the remain were supposed to be that of a boy drowned off the steamer Huner 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 flesh. Mr. Brannon arrived in the city on Thursday 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. W. Miles, of Blairsville, at the residence of Hon. S.

H. French, of Pittsburg, Prof. Wilbur S. Jackman, of the Pittsburg High School, (formerly of Washington County.) and Miss Ella A. Reis, of New Castle, Pa.

Mr. Jackman is a native of our county; graduated from the California Normal School, and was elected to the chair of Natural Sciences in the Pittsburg High School just after his graduation from Harvard. He 13 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 belp 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. May all their lives be heppily blended in mutual confidence and love. The Daily Republican. MONONGAHELA CITY, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1884. Price Two Cents.

Whether "the whole earth is claimed" or only a portion thereof, One should be certain his title is perfect towhat is claimed. When it comesto 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 show (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 138 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 commence this personal style of advertis ing; 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 $1.00 per sack has been offered them. Therefore they buy itand 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 holidays to look through the Market Exchauge. We are surprised at seeing that our neighbor 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, an inspection of the ware-room of the "wicked sinner" will be sufficient to convince those interested of this fact, We have neither room, money nor inclination to buy flour for future use. We are willing to submit the question to the people. When want good sack of flour at the lowest rates, 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 any one with a sack of flour, and all together we have 91 sacks of the 727, and as we sold over 50 sacks Monday that is not a very large stock future. We are not buying for futurefact is, we can hardly get enough for present orders. We expected 500 sacks last 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.
