What a terrible time Jacob Fields,

I had a dream and in that dream
I saw many sights, I heard a noise as
of the east wind sighing. I looked
and behold I saw a couple in the twl
light his arms encircling her waist. '.
heard a noise and behold he wus say
lug, Now we are bound together with
two clasps like a book. Yes, she said
one side is Turkey Morocco and the
other plain calf. I heard a noise as of
ruftl i ng calico an d looked and saw"C. M
Goit" climbing the golden stair.
A young lady being asked why
she did not go to the show said that
"L. C. A." promised to come and take
me but didn't. No doubt, R x, he
wus detaiued elsewhere.
We have our opinion of a man
when we hear of hiin enquiring
another if he knows anything on "L
C. A." that will make a local. Per
haps thev were for "Gabriel", but
when asked who for, he said, Oh!
was only trying to get a local for
"Vale" for I am afraid he is getting
in a tight place.
It is singular that a young man
evidently talented should have the
lady he intends to escort to her little
wigwam go out of the back door
while he goes out of the front door
and meet at the gate after a dunce at
Fields' hall. Now " Vale" we are at a
loss to account for sucli strange actions
unless you were afraid of "Watch
man's" cane, undoubtedly this wan
the case. L. C. A.

On the Wrong Road.
Emporium Independent.
On Monday, March 16th, a lady
with a child apparently about six
months old, arrived here on the P. &
E. Mail West at 12:50 P. M., and go
ing into the ladies' waiting room nt
the Junction, banded through the
ticket window a slip of paper on which
was written "Mrs. Kate Nolan, Broad
ford, Fayette Co., Pa." and requested
a ticket to that place. Mr. K. J.
Ralph, the general at the Junction
here, being in the office nt the time
and noticing the peculiar request,
questioned her and learned that she
had been ticketed to Emporium for
Bradford,' McKean county, through
the blunder of an outside ticket agent
in Philadelphia, thus taking the poor
woman between four and five hundred
miles out of her way. Her story to
Mr. Ralph, was that they were poor
people living in Philadelphia; that
her husband unable to procure work
had started out some time since in
search of employment, promising her
that us soon as he found It und earned
enough, ho would send licr money to
come to him ; that he did find it in
Broad Ford, Fayette county, nnd sent
her just money enough to pay her fare
to that place; that she went to the
ticket office and presented the direc
tions as sent by her husband to the
agent, she being ignorant of the lo
cation, and the agent sent her otr to
this point, ns above stated, where on
her arrival she had but $1. SI cents in
her possession. I
The unfortunate woman was nearly
crazed, when she was told her situa
tion, and well she might be. Mr.
Ralph, aiways noted for his kindly at
tention to the traveling public, was in
this case equal to the occasion, lie
telegraphed to L. P. Farmer, general
passenger agent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, giving him all the particu
lars, and that gentleman nobly and
promptly responded, telegraphing a
free pass for the woman and her child
to Connelsville via Ilarrisburg nnd
Greensburg, and instructed Mr. Ralph
to provide for her wants while here
and furnish her with money for neces
sary expenses to her place of destina
tion, all of which was promptly at
tended to, her buggoge rcchecked and
nt 6.25 P. M. the sume day she was put
aboard the train bound for Broad Ford
which point we trust, she reached in
safety. Messrs. Farmer and Ralph
deserves great praise, for the noble
ness of their acts in thus promptly
aiding this poor woman in her dis
tressed situation.
The Jiatvman's Journal, Clear
field, Pa., has this to say of the lum
ber market: "We are gratified to be
able to report good prices for the tim
ber sold at Lock Haven last week.
It went "like hot cakes" and it is said
every raft was sold by Tuesday even
ing. We give the following prices on
the very best authority: Hemlock, 7
to 8J cents; pine, 12 to 18 cents: one
raft of pine sold at 20 cents; oak, 14 to
20 cents. Since our last issue, consid
erable timber has been gotten to the
river, but the hauling has been poor
and there is much yet in the woods.
We alsostute, on the best authority,
that the product will be about the
same as last year in the neighbor
hood of GOO rafts and that fully one
half of it is already in market nnd
sold. Our figures from the same
sources proved correct last spring, we
give them again -unhesitatingly and
believe they will be about correct.
