Howard & Co., are over 175 cars of lumber back in shipments. Our citizens are feeling better, thank you. The prospects for a prosperous town were never better. A woman upset a lamp at Dawson City and the result was a big blaze and little is now left of the gold diggers capitol. According to the latest state geo logical report, the highest point in the state is Prospect Hill, near Smethport, which is 2,500 feet above sea level. A man is not always willing to admit that he owes a great deal to his wife, but he will generally concede that she is the cause of his owing a good deal to the milliner, says the Married Man of the Pittsburg News. The editor of a country paper inter viewed the inhabitants of his town recently, and he finds that nearly ali the successful business men were freely 1 thrashed while they were young, while among the street loafers 27 were mam ma's boys. In a case before the Potter county courts, Judge Morrison took occasion \ to say: "It is a mistaken notion that one driving a horse along the highway can compel a man on foot to give him the whole of the road or run over him. A footman has a right to ample room as well as a team." We have received some excellent specimens of fire clay, just what wo are after. Bring along your specimens —the more the batter. We are deter- | mined that fire brick works shall be ; located near Emporium, or in Cameron j county, if it is proven our clay is of | right formation. The PRESS was in error last week when we stated that the contract was let to Mr. Hacket for the erection of the Pine street bridge for S2OO. We should have said §260. But at a meet ing of the Council, May 23, the plans and specifications were changed and the amount increased to §275. Rear Admiral Kautz in a letter to a ! cousin in Cincinnati thus describes the new king of Samoa: "He is a very in offensive sort of a fellow, a native, 19 years of age. He wears a French admiral's cocked hat, but no shoes or stockings or trousers; still, considering the torrid weather, ho looks very well in this climate. But I hardly think he would look well on Fourth street, Cin cinnati." Here is a chance for some of the young men of Kane who are complain ing they can find nothing to do, and consequently loaf about the streets and live off the hard earnings of their parents. Uncle Sam is asking for a number of bright, active young men, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, to enter the revenue marine service as cadets. The pay upon entrance is SSOO per year and rations, and at the end of two years the cadets are appointed second lieuten ants in the revenue marine service. The examinations which will be held about the middle of June, are such as can be passed by a lad having gradu ated from an institution like the Kane high school. These places in the rev enue marine service are really very desirable and well worthy the attention of our bright, ambitious boys. A letter addressed to the civil service commis sioner will bring detailed information for guidance to an appointment.—Kane Republican. ALL AROUND THE COUNTY. Four nile. Friends of Arthur Lucore planned a surprise for him, Tuesday last. The program was fully carried out; luncheon was served, and merry games partici pated in by ail.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary Ann Jor dan, widow of John Jordan, one of the first settlers of Wharton township, was held at the East Fork on Wednesday last and interment made in the Logue cemetery. She was well known by almost everybody in Potter and ad joining counties. She drew a pension from Uncle Sam on account of the death of her oldest son, John, in the Civil War.

Bills will soon be out announcing the grand celebration our citizens are preparing for on the Fourth of July, at this place. C. M., claims the fish were away visiting, the day he started out to fill a few orders he had taken. You didn't hold your mouth right, my boy. We understand that J. T. Furlong, of Sterling is going to sign with the Buckwalter base ball team. Emporium wili have to look out when we get our mittens on. All roads lead to the school house Saturday evening, where you will find ice cream and frosted cake "to burn." Boys bring your girls|or some one else's girl; it helps the cause along. W. C. Heath has the air filled with the largest fish stories on record and has all his friends invited to an old fashioned trout fry. May you live long and see many more leave the pan. Buckwalter will soon have a new railroad as we cau hear them blasting on the hill. Let our moneyed men get together and offer some inducements for industries of some kind to locate here. We have lots of water and good free air. The writer made an inspection of Mike Hillyard's strawberry patch and was really surprised. There isn't a finer lot of berries in the country than "mayor" Hillyard has. He claims he will have a larger crop than ever be fore. How glad we are to fix our sleeves for a feast, as some are as largo as your fist now. Council Proceedings. Adjourned meeting Borough Council, May 2?, 1890. Present: Messrs.

Many old soldiers now feel the effects of the hard service they endured during the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Rossvile, York county, Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. "I had a severe attack lately," he says,"and procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did so much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles." Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it in their home, not only for rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swelling, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is un equalled.
