The story which has been circulating in a few Philadelphia daily papers, and almost all the country weeklies in this section, about a certain Paul HUBER, of Corning, Lehigh county, being found dead in Michigan, and the remains sent to his mother at Corning, Pennsylvania, is all unfounded.

[PICTURE OF HENRY J. MILLER]
Henry J. MILLER, of near Niantic, a well-known and successful farmer is probably the only surviving veteran of the Civil War in that neighborhood. His life has been an exceptionally active and interesting one. Mr. MILLER was born on the farm which he now conducts, on the 15th day of April 1842. During his busy life he has been a resident of this, Berks and Chester counties. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 he enlisted in Company M, 8th Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry. He served three years, in which he saw considerable active service and successfully passed through many battles. In the early part of October in the year 1864 he was honorably discharged from his regiment. He then settled in Chester County and after two years work on the farm returned to this county. Here he procured employment at his trade, carpentering, which he worked at until the year 1873. An opportunity then presented itself by which Mr. MILLER could gain possession of the old homestead. This he availed himself of and has up to the present day successfully conducted the forty acre farm on which he now lives. Mr. MILLER was accompanied through his enlistment by his old comrade Michael YOUNG, who is now a resident of Upper Hanover township.

Mr. BUTZ has many close friends in this section of Montgomery county and we feel safe in saying that should the Republicans see fit to place his name upon the ticket, that he will poll an exceptionally heavy vote.

The Citizen's of Boyertown; which is one of the most beautiful small towns in Berks county, now look to Charles A. MORY, one of their leading citizens, as the defender of the towns' rights. Some time ago the Oley Valley Railway Company petitioned the Borough Council to grant them a right to lay tracks and operate a railway system through the Main street. The council being under the impression that this was to be an electric railway line looked favorably on the matter and granted them a right providing they would ad here to certain conditions set aside by said council. Charles A. MORY, a prominent citizen and one who takes an exceptionally active part in the interests of the borough, examined the company's papers and found that they were working under a charter, which would give them an equal rights to operate a steam or an electric railway. The route so laid out by the company would bring its tracks in front of Mr. MOREY's residence. This he objected to, and being a man above the average intelligence, appealed to the lower courts, to have the company's right abolished. He explained to that august body the character of the charter under which the railway company was working, fully explaining the fact that should the company be granted the right they could at any future time operate a steam railway system on the Main Street in their beautiful little town, which would be objectionable to every resident, notwithstanding this the lower courts decided against him. Mr. MORY, feeling assured that he was in the right, carried the case to the Supreme Court, after the case had been fully presented it was found that Mr. MORY was in the right and a verdict was then granted in his favor. As a result the Oley Valley Railway Company will only be able to extend their lines to the borough limits. This will greatly inconvenience the company as their terminus will be fully a mile from the center of the town. Notwithstanding the fact that this will greatly inconvenience the company regarding its passenger traffic, it will also save them an immense sum of money which would have been expended to fulfil the requirements set aside by the council.
