The Dewoy socml given at tho resi dence of Judge and Mrs. J. A. Proper Monday evening, by tho ladies of tho Re lief Corps, was a decidedly successful af fair in point of attendance, pleasure and financial returns to that noblo order. The evening was a delightful one, and the lighting ol the large veranda fronting the spacious mansion with numerous Chi nese lanterns gave the surroundings a double cheer. Insido, the decorations of bunting, early spring llowers and evi dences of patriotism in honor of tho hero of Manila were everywhere apparent to the very largo party of. young, old and middle aged which was present on this occasion.

The Superior Court has decided that where Individuals are injured by reason of defective pavements, damages are col lectable not from ho borough but from the property ownor's failing to keep the pavement In proper repair.

Tho continued dry weather has brought about tho usual results exten sive and damaging forest fires. From all quarters of tho county como reports ot serious conflagrations in tho wooded sec tions, and large forces of men have been at work night and day in lighting these elements of destructicn. It was hoped that extra precaution would be exercised by all at a tlmo like this, thus lessoning in a very large measure the damage which follows in the wake of these fires, but carelessness, indifference and in many cases pure vandalism seems to be the rule, and how to bring about a better state of affairs in this regard is ' what is puzzling to the best of men. There are sufficient laws, stringont enough in their character", to stop much of it, but they seem impossible of enforcement, and un til the severest punishment is moled out to some of the offenders there is littlo hopo for a better condition of tilings. Tho W. C. T. U. has been most fortu nate in securing the services of Miss Jes sie Ackermaan, who will lecture in Tio- ncsta, in Presbyterian church, on Satur day and Sunday evenings, May 13 and 14.

The FranKlin Evening Ncut says: "The For est Rktuiilican, which has always been a "patent-outsider," comes out this week all home-print, looking as protty and neat as a girl In a new calico dress. Tho Republican may Improve in looks, but it would be hard to do so in contents, as it has always been one of the beat edited country weeklies that reaches this office." The Maricnvillo Exprest says; "The Republican is now all printed at home, the patent side being discarded. Wo con gratulate Neighbor Wenk on this evi dence of prosperity." The weather clerk must be an Odd Fellow, for he smiled seronoly on the brethren of the three links lost Wednes day, when a very successful meeting of the Northwestern District Anniversary Association wis held in Warren. Up wards of 1,000 members were present and in line and the town Was crowded with spectators. The members of Warren lodge were active and diligent in the re ception and ontertainment of their visi tors, and the day is an eventful one in Warren's history. Quito a number of Tionesta Odd Fellows were iu attendance. Brookville was chosen as the next place meeting for next year. Tho Pittsburg Newt says the lumber men tho Allegheny river and its tribu taries rafting into Pittsburg have closed out the entire output ot the logging camps at fair prices. The amount of tim ber cut for the spring rafting season was no greater than tho market was able to take last year, while tho demand for the timber was largely in excess of last year. The price of hemlock timber jumped from 71 to 9 fonts per cubic foot, making the prices obtained for tho entire product about $ 10,000 greater thiui was received for last year's cutting. Tho advance in price will increase the activity ol tho log ging camps and a largoly increased sup ply cau be confidently expected with the fall rafting season. Supt. E. .

James Taft, living a short distance up Beaver Valley, and employed on the Whoeler t Dusenburv mill at Endeavor, had his right foot badly lascerated at an early hour Saturday morning last. He was off-bearing and had taken hold nf a board that was running on the "live" rollers, with the result that it drew his foot under the rack which holds tho rol lers, where it came in contact with the "slasher" saw, or "cut-off." Tho foot wits cut diagonally back, taking off tho four first toe, leaving only the little toe. Dr. Will G. Morrow of West Hickory assist ed by Dr. L. D.

A Findley Luke farmer has found out that by planting onions and potatoes in the same field in alternate rows, the onions become so strong that they bring tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such vast volumes that the roots are kept moist and a big crop is raised in spito of drouth. Blizzard. Saturday a gentleman stepped into this office and purchased one hundred or more old newspapers with which to fond his hens. He tears the paper into shreds and soaks it in sour milk until tho whole mass becomes a pulp when he feeds it to the hens, and he claims that it adds great ly to their egg-prodcuing qualities. The newspaper is gradually extending its field ot usefulness. From food for thought It has expanded, until within its sphere is already included food for goats and hens. Ex. "Providence is blamed and creditod with many things that He never had any thing to do with," said Henry Ward Ilueclier. Mr. Beecher then recounted an instanoe where a little child died aud lis parents attributed its death to Provi dence. Mr. Beecher said it was no such thing. The creator had nothing to do wtth it. It was decayed vegetables in the cellar whicii the parents failed to have taken out in the spring that caused tho disease and death oftho child. This anecdote is seasonable at least.

For copies address Department of Agriculture, Harrisburg, Pa. Hopkins aells the clothing and shoes. of fire was sounded and as usual our vol unteer companies responded with promptness. The fire was in an old barn on Win. Wolcolt's lot on May street. The fire was evidently caused by lightning strik'ng the building during the severe electrical storm that had prevailed dur ing the greater part of the night, and be fore being discovered the flames had gained such headway that practically nothing could be done toward saving the building, but the prompt action of the firomen saved tbe large new barn belong ing to Abraham Heplar, which is situa ted only pbout teu feet distant from the old barn, and one side of which was in flames when the hose companies reached the scene. Our elegant water supply and tho promptness with which our citizens respond to an alarm of fire are two things which the town is justly proud of. The loss on the old barn is slight.
