  LOCALS:

• St. Valentine's day, Feb. 14th.

• Valentines at JEFFREY & BURDICK 's .

• Let some enterprising young man start a news room at once.

• David KING, who met with the misfortune a few weeks ago of cutting his foot, is enjoying the outdoor air again. We are glad to know that he is getting along so nicely.

• There is to be a church meeting Feb. 10th, to hear the report of the "Parsonage Committee."

• Mr. BROWN, the young student who has been sick so long, has so far recovered as to return to his home in Scott.

• It is said that if the bear can see his shadow on the 2d of February, he goes back in his hole and stays six week longer. If he happened to have been out for a minute about half past 2 o'clock, he saw it, and if wasn't, he didn't. We wish we knew.

• We have received a copy of the Forest City Press, a paper published in Forest City, Dakota, by D.L. FRY, a printer formerly employed at the Publishing House in this village. Mr. FRY is also Probate Judge of Potter County, in that state and has recently been appointed post - master of Forest City.

• We were in error last week in reference to the person who was representative from Eureka Lodge, E.O.M.A. Wellsville to the Grand Lodge, and who received the gavel from the hand of Grand President SUTHERLAND. We should have said James SWIFT, instead of W.H.. MILLER. Bro. SWIFT being a miller by trade, led us into toe error.

• A novel invention in the shape of an Invalid Bedstead can be seen at the furniture house of COATS Bros., Wellsville. It is designed to give comfort and ease to those who have become so exhausted from sickness that they are unable to help themselves. It is simple in its construction, and admits easy access to the body, permitting bedclothes to be changed, and the bed made up without annoyance or fatigue to the patient. It can be either rented or purchased from the above named parties.

• All parties desiring the use of a good horse and cutter will do well to call on Will LANGWORTHY,  where they can be accommodated, and that too, at a reasonable price.

• Ladies please take notice. On Sunday, Feb. 10th, Miss Carrie LUSK will be found at the store of Mrs. PALMITER. She will remain there until further notice, and would be pleased to receive calls from all who desire anything in the line of dressmaking.

• Yes! A surprise at Thomas ELLIS 's and a real bonifide surprise to two members of the household. The company were jubilant, joyous, and social; the refreshments were excellent and well served. The predominant feelings of Mr. and Mrs. ELLIS were gratitude for the kindly regard and love shown by the friends who greeted them at their home on the hill-side. The presents were beautiful, rich and elegant, but their intrinsic value and loveliness were more fully appreciated when critically and quietly examined by morning light.
      Fearing that persons in other rooms did not hear Mr. MAXSON 's very appropriate remarks at the presentation of the gifts, and consequently the thanks expressed at that time, Mr. & Mrs. ELLIS wish to renew them heartily to every individual who contributed by their presence, or in any other way, to the happiness of the occasion.
      Thomas Ellis
      Louis S. Ellis.
