A Song of Summer.
When the perfume of roses
Enriches the breeze.
And the butterly dozes
Upon the sweet peas—
And the girls in lawn dresses
Like angels appear,
Why it plainly expresses
That summer is here,
When the wandering Latin
Grinds tuneful refrains.
And passes his hat in
To gather his gaius,
And is radient when getting
The price of a beer,
It is pretty safe betting
That summer is here,
When the daisies adorning
The meadows below
Nod and bow to the morning
While sweet zephyrs blow—
When tumhlebugs tumble
And bumblebees hum,
There is no use to grumble,
For summer has come.
—Col. W. O. Smith.

man, for we know that rubber boots, a

light on their skin. This is the best of
all summer tonics."

SlnnemahoninK.
The Sinnemahoning Liars Club met
in regular session last night, Grand
High Annanias on the keg. After the
regular course of business, Pap Blodget
was asked to report on his trip to the
county seat yesterday. The portly
gentleman arose and stated that he
was met by the Emporium delegation
in the spacious room adjoining Mr.
Murphy's wine room where ho took
oath and started down the street with
' --nder his vest, followed by a couple
1 -.lasers The Emporium delegation
cornered him in Billy McOee's where
they barred his exit and made him
"cough up" the oath. In looking for
tips he called on Angus McDonald who
told him he would find lots of them
back in the billiard room. Pap next
interviewed Mr. Kelley and I. K.
Hockley, who are contesting for the
championship. In the next contest H.
H. Mullin and A. C. Blum will be Mr.
Kelley's seconds, but Mr. Hockley will
consult the watch-man for his seconds;
the Sheriff will be present to see that
there is no violence. Pap next ran up
against G. F. Balcom and was holding
his own when H. S. Lloyd appeared on
the scene and began a tirade upon the
old man he became a little nervous but
lie kept up courage until Mike Dolan
came along, then he threw up the
sponge to his superiors and just as
Billy McGee came along he fainted
away, and was carried into Billy Mc-
Donald's wine room, where Fred Hill
and Dalrymple resuscitated him by
rubbing an empty Bourbon bottle on
his moustache. The report was ac
cepted and placed on file and Pap was
fined the usual amout for lowering the
club's reputation. A committee of five
was appointed to visit Emporium at
some future time and if they fail the
club will go in a body. C. W. Beldin,
Tom Shores and J. V. Hanscom is our
best talent, and our secondary battery
will be Geo. T. Sliafer, Harry Decker
and Lewis Wykoff. There being 110
further business the meeting adjourned
in order, Pap was placed in the lead and
the club single-filed to O. L. Bailey's
back parlor, where they found Joe
Wheeler, who had come down to ride
the goat, but the goat had eaten one
of C. W. Beldin's socks and bad died of
"sockolexis."
LATER. —We just added to our club a
man who caught three fish on two
hooks—two eels on one hook and a
white chub on the other.
FIDE.
Another Railroad Deal.
The Ridgway Star is authority for
the statement that the Buffalo, St.
Marys and South Western and the
Mt. Jewett, Clermont and Northern
have been bought by capitalists sup
posed to be interested in Erie railroad
stock. These two roads will be con
nected by laying a line from Clermont
to Hazelhurst. The southern termi
nus of the 8., St. Marys &S. W., will
be extended to the Erie's Toby branch
in Jefferson county, thus giving them
an independent line from their large
coal fields including the recent 7,000
acre purchase instead of running over
the P. & E. tracks from Johnsonburg
to Mt. J ewett as at present.
