Messen ger, received a painful wound in hi hand by the accidental discharge of the weapon. Several shot entered ms ringers. Again we warn nit per sona to be careful when handling lire arms. It is said that a gun is a dan gerous thing without lock, slock or barrel, as a man once whipped his wife to death with a ramrod. The Family Pfiysivinn says that there is no more valuable indication of disease than the temperature of t lie body as measured by the thermometer and especially in the case of children It gives early information of disease, and admits of an infected child being set apart before mischief is done. The I'hyaician consequently advises moth era to learn how to use a clinical ther mometer a very simple process. The proper temperature of the body is 98.4 Fahrenheit.

Maurice Sherman has been haul ing some liU-ge sticks of timber past The Advocate office for several days past, taking advantage of the slight fall of snow. Four horses were re quired .o snake the sticks through town. In our last issue in the notice of Mrs. Jane Healy's death we made her age 62 years.

Fatly it Co., 7-M Hroad St., Newark, X.J. nlin3 Interesting to Smoki r.i Straw paper has increased Jin price seventy-live per cent, since last Oc tober There are two reasons for this remarkable advance. First, a scarcity of straw, and second an extraordinary demand for straw paper from Cuba, single orders being received for 100,000 reams at a time. And what do you think it is used for? It U saturated in a decoction made from the stems and refuse of the choice Havana seed leaf tobacco, nnd when properly treated whli flavoring extracts, licorice root, senna, &c. made into tilling for cigars It burns with a pure white ash pre cisely like that of the genuine leaf unlike thut yielded by any other material. The State Commissioners of Fish eries will have ready for distribution shortly between 400,000 and 600,000 trout for stocking the streams of Western Pennsylvania.

It is propo.-ed to have them put out in March and April. Letters stilting how many trout are desired and where to be placed, should he addressed to Benjamin L. Hewitt, Hollidaysbuig, or Robert Dalzcll, Box 122, Pittsburgh. From the number of strikes in different section of the country as reported in the daily papers, it would seem that the laboring men of the country, with one accord, have come to the conclusion to demand an ad vance in their wages in a slight pro portion to the advance in all the ne cessities of life.

ISrockport Breezes. And still it freezes and occasion ally snows. The logs seemeth to rush since the last snow. Urockport will soon be blessed with a protracted meeting, and we think if it has the desired effect some of our wide-awakes will change t heir tactics and mend their ways. Now, boys and girls remember only remember and don't be naughty. Our hospitable friend Mr. Isaac Graham has been blessed with an immense and first class opera and jaw breaking and iron muzzled minstrel troupe froiA DuHois city. The entire troupe consisted of three stalwart "Stars," ahem! any thing to bring the almighty dollar. Messrs Alfred Short and 1). C. Oyster paid us a visit on Friday and returned home Saturday. Vell, the big show was simply immense. We noticed tpuite an au dience congregated to witness the marvelous feats performed by the Professor. Well I do declare it beats all miter how they do it. but they did. ' Our old friend Thomas Dollinger has taken, his departure from our midst and we greatly miss that famil iar countenance. Ui.it we wish you all the success ininiugimihle Thomas, and don't shoot yourself with that new re volver. Walter says strangesightsof "trip ping the light fantastic" meets his ga.e as he peeps out of bin window when retiring to rest from his weary toils. Xow, why persist in such 'jollifications when people, ought to be asleep and dreams of brighter visions to mar their peaceful slumbers and shilcss performances. I5ut such are the ways of life. "L. C. A.'' must have something else to feed his vision on as he seems to weaken. Perhaps the child is endeavoring to invent some new mechanism and thus his mind is otherwise occupied than visionary Well, all we have to say is come down soon as there will perhaps bo another bracket cut before long. Ha! ha!! guess not. L. C. A. you are too sweet to live. Ahem! Tims endeth the first chapter. (i'ckss Who. Sti'dibs from Hrockport and Viciuily Johnie McClcllati has returned from school.

Why is il that W. JT. Horton, It. Idiling and A. S. Morton are board ing at Father Graham's? ''L. C.

Brock way is slowlv recovering lruiii a long and tedious sickness. Thomas Dollinger has rented a siiop in Cenlrevillc, where he has gone and intends opening business in a i-boil time.

Short and Sherilf Oyster were here the last of the week looking after their lumber interests. Young "Swamper" is bound to get that patent collar of his introduced. Hope ho may; for it was very becom ing to that young man on the train. It appears that "Watchman". "D. Tcciive" and "Swamper," were all down thecreek last week as well as 'C. M. Goii" for we see no locals from this place in the Lik Ltemocrat from either. Why don't some of the citizens of Padgway tell "Skippy," whether he is to have a town clock or not. Charles (more eomonly known as "L. C. A.") Is digging laurel roots on Boon's mountain. He has also sev eral men working for him. He don't go up Boga as often as of yore. What can the matter be. Is it because the electric light shines no more on your noble brow. The public opinion is that he stopped oil' at BeynoldsviHe for the ex press purpose of gathering up Brock port notes, at last reports he was try ing to gather up himself. A man by the name of Martin used some profane language one day last week in the oliice of N. M. Brock way, after being informed that lie would allow no such language to be uvd in his house he still insisted on calling the Captain names and also us iug a great amount of slang, when to his surprise Nick caught him by the shoulder with one hand and with the other he grasped the gentleman by the seat of his trowsers and gently set him outside the door, where ho told him to stay until he thought he could behave himself. Dell Lundy 'has . gone to Blue ltoek to work ou the saw mill at that place. C. M. Goit. Itraiuly Camp Penciling. The Commissioners met last Tues day at the Brandy Camp Hotel.

Charley how is Bock Shanty for locals anyway ? J. S. Hyde has his lumber about rafted In at the little mill. He has in about forty-two pieces. "Vale" that glowing description of us is more than flattering. You may prefer the back porch for your wheedling while some prefer next week. We stray from Brandy Camp for locals this week. George Huffman has been deliver ing goods from the Brockport store. We saw him delivering some potatoes one time and next we see him with some calico thai is made up on his arm going down the board track and next we see him helping the cook on wash day. Mrs. Maggie Moycr, our post mistress, is visiting her friends at Sugar Hill and Bill Is keeping Bach elors Hall. We were In town the ether day and was happy to meet some of our old Christian friends from LittloToby at the Hyde House. There was one newly married 111:111 present who but a short time ago supped the wine glass for his soul's sake now he sups tiic beer glass for his stomach's sake. Good old Uncle Hays was among them with a heart as big a n pumpkin. He was pleading with the boys to touch not taste not handle not the unclean thing, he had gone as far as iirst Peter when he thought of the words "eat drink and be merry1' and then lie took n glass himself. We hope he may live long and clip many an item from Tin-: AliviiDATii and keep them in re membrance of the past. Success to P. W. U. W. lingers has purchased a team of horses and a string of hell.
