were astonished on Sunday morning
to discover, hanging from the liberty
pole, what looked like a job of Judge
Lynch. Investigation found it to be

narrow escape from a serious accident
one day last week. He crossed the

just in advance of a freight train
which he failed to notice until it was
within a few feet of the horses. One

off to allow him to lock his drug store
and dress, which request was granted.

jumped out a back window and fled.
A reward of J25 was immediately

Whereon, Having attended his
course of instruction during the term
just expired have noted his manner of

our highest commendation. Therefore,
He it Jcesofvca, mat we tenner to
Prof. E. V. Hoelsche our hearty thanks
for the kind and efficient manner, for
the ability, energy, discipline and ex
tensive practical knowledge, which he
brought to bear in ti e management of
the class. Prof. Haelsche's very many
excellent qualities as a scholar, lin
guist and musical teacher qualify him
tor any position to which, tie may
aspire.
After the reading of the above reso
lution Doctor Hartley in a neat and
appropriate address presented Prof. E.
V. Hoelsche, In behalf of the mem
bers of his vocal class, with a silver
headed ebony cane which was beauti
fully engraved with the following
inscription: "Presented to Prof. E. V.
Hcelst he by his class in vocal music,

responded in a very affecting manner.
Doctor Earley then spoke on the ad
vantages that the pupils of the present
day possessed over those who studied
music forty years ago, and of the good
work Prof. Hoelsche was doing, clos
ing with a hearty good wish that the
Professor and pupils might live to see
many such happy occasions.
Mr. David Kline and others made
some happy remarks after which Dr.
C. R. Earley was made an honorary

At the earnest desire of the lady
members the President requested the
Professor to organize a juvenile class

The celebrated case of Book Vs. Tost
Is taking another twist before a Master
In Chancery. The case was opened
yesterday afternoon, before Hon. J. G
Hall of Ridgway, as Master. Attor
neys David Sterrett and B. D. Hamlin,
of Smethport, and Judge Brown, of
Warren, appear for Book, and attor
neys A. G. Olmsted, of Couderspot,
James Buchanan Brawlcy, of Mead

appear for Post." Nearly all the attor
neys on both sides have been In town
for the past two or three weeks giving
their undivided attention to getting
together amunitlon for the contest.
Judging by the array of talent on both
sides the contest will bo stubbornly
fought and all the ground gone over.
The value of the property In dispute Is
said to be about $100,000. It has been
In litigation in one way or another for
a humber of years, and it is not proba
ble that this round will settle it. The
host of lawyers who are wrangling
over it will no doubt get the largest
slice of the $100,000 however it is
eventually decided, and we are of the
opinion that they will be entitled to it,
for they have unquestionably done
more hard work to cam the disputed
property than either of the contest
ants. Pittsburgh Female College.
Before deciding that important ques
tion, "Where shall I educate my
daughter?" send for the catalogue of
the Pittsburgh Female College. It
justly ranks with the best school for
ladies in the United States, and In
solid and ornamental branches offers
rare advantages. Its Conservatory of
Music is rapidly gaining a national
reputation. The best is the cheapest,
and yet its charges are as low as its
advantages, and accommodations will
warrant far less than many schools
which have fewer teachers and less
facilities. The twenty-fifth year will

A Valuable Medicine.
Buchu in various forms has for
many years beeu one of the chief ar
ticles In the Materia' Medico, for the
treatment of certain diseases, among
which are chiefly those affecting the
urinary, digestive, and circulatory
organs. The difficulty that was long
experienced in obtaining a preparation
of this valuable drug that could always
be relied upon for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led to the
Introduction of Helmbold's Extract of
Buchu, which for the last quarter of a
bentury has been extensively used
both by physicians and in house and
family practice, and with very gratify
ing success. This medicine, like
every other valuable :thing, has , been
extensively imitated, and .those who
have use for it will do well to see that
they obtain the genuine "Helmbold
Buchu," the only pure and reliable
preparation. "

How to Keep Cool.
Correct habits of the body and mind
will antagonize and generally over
come the most persistent efforts of the
sun. Avoid heating food ; most peo
ple allow the palate to determine what
they shall eat and how much, which,
is as foolish as to let the family fire
select such fuel as best pleases it gun
powder, uitro-glycerlue, etc. Do not
Increase your physical temperature,
particularly that of your head, by
drinking alcoholic beverages; when
water does not suffice as a drink con
sult your physician instead of a bar
keeper. Use water internally with
frequency; no one can get rid of. su
perfluous heat through the skin, the
pores of which are tightly sealed. If
you have a great many cigars that
ought to be smoked before they grow
dry and tasteless, give them to your
enemy, it is better that his liver be de
ranged than yours, for a torpid liver
induces a week hot head. At least
once a day take excercise enough to
cause free perspiration, the man who
perspires most is always the coolest;
the soldier on drill in woolen clothing
under a hot sun, with the thermometer
in the nineties, is more comfortable
than the lounger in white linen, and

fully heating as well as physically ex
travagant. Sleep regularly and full
hours, resisting the temptation to sit
up late because the evening is the
only cool part of the day. A hundred
other suggestions might be offered, but
the above, if followed, will enable
many a heat-stricken mortal toimagiue
that this is not so dreadfully hot a
summer, after all. Ex.
A correspondent at West field sends
us an account of a terrible accident,
last week, Monday, by which a little
son of Wm. King was nearly killed.
It seems that the boy's uncle hud
slung a large -stick of timber under
the hind axletree of a wagon, using
the coupling as a lever to draw it up.
They then stepped away to get a smal ler
stick, leaving the reach or coupling
resting on the timber. While they
were gone the King boy and two of his
cousins got upon the hind end of the
timber and began springing it. This
threw the reach back, and It came over
with crushing force. It hit the boy a
glancing blow on the head, laying the
scalp open above the left temple nearly
four inches and wide enough to receive
one's two fingers. The skull was frac
tured so that some of the brain oozed
out. The left shoulder was hit and
badly hurt and the wrist .dislocated.
Dr. Reese, of Knoxvllle, was called,
and he did everything possible for the
little sufferer, and the boy is now in a
fair way to recover. If the reach had
hit the boy a direct blow, he must have
been instantly killed. Tioga Agitator.

The Storm Tuesday.
two men killed by mghtninonear
trout run.
Wllllattioport Gazette ft Bulletin, Hist lilt
A terrible accident occurred Tuesday
afternoon near Weed's mill, six miles
above Trout run. During the violent
storm that prevailed in the afternoon,
a number of mem took refuge in the
barn of Daniel Moyer, at the point
named. They had not been there
long when lightning struck the build
ing, Instantly killing James Bastiau
and David Broslous, and stunning
several of the other men. The barn
was not much injured. As soon as
possible after the terrible disaster, the
bodies of the uhfortunate men were re
moved to their homes. Bastian leaves
a family, one of his daughters having
been married to Broslous.
LATER PARTICULARS.
Since the publication in the evening
edition of the Gazette and Bulletin of
the terrible accident near Trout Run
on Tuesday afternoon, resulting in the
killing of two men by lightning,
further particulars have been received.
When the storm was observed to be
approaching eleven men and a team
of horses took refuge in a barn, and
when the fatal bolt of lightning de
scended ten of the men were prostrated.
The eleventh man ws engaged in
holding the horses, which kept him
on his feet. One of the men knocked
down was killed instantly, and another
only breathing a few gasps after fall
ing. The others were all more or less
stunned, but escaped with their lives.
The sad affair has caused a profound
sensation in that neighborhood and it
is the theme of conversation in all
circles.
house struck by lightning.
The heavy wind and rain storm
which struck the city Thursday after
noon did considerable damage here as
well as in the country. At Susque
hanna, near the end of the Linden
bridge, a dwelling house belonging to
Mr. Simon Ballade, and occupied by
his son Oliver, was struck by light
ning and badly injured. Mrs. Sallade
was alone in the house when the storm
came up, and just as she was in the
act of closing the door leading to the
stairway the shock was felt, but for
tunately, she sustained no injury. The
bolt apparantly struck the east comb
of the building', tearing off the cornice
and shattering the studding. Not n
weather board was left on the end of
the building. When the bolt entered
the ground the foundation wall was
badly damaged. There was no insur
ance on the building.
RAVAGES IN THE CITY,
Whilst no buildings werestrucklnthe
city, as far as heard from, considerable
damage was done to trees, shrubbery
and vines by the wind. Something
like a Kansas tornado oil a small scale
entered the grounds of Hon. John B.
Beck and completely demolished a
line plum tree und a favorite Baldwiu
apple tree. These trees were large
and stout, having attained their full
growth, but so strong was the whirl
wind that they were literally torn up
by the roots and thrown to one side.
Other yards in the same neighborhood
suffered more or less from the violence
of the wind. At the residence of B. S
Bcntley, jr., a beautiful Ivy or creep
ing vine, which covered one entire
side of the house, was completely torn
from its fastensngs and dashed to the
ground.
PRANKS WITH A WHEELBARROW.
