W. N. Y. &P. History.
A high official of the Pennsylvania
said that it was not often his company
bought back a road that it had once
sold. This remark was caused by the
recent acquisition of the Western New
York & Pennsylvania. It appears that
shortly after the war of the rebellion,
and about the time of the coal oil
craze, with the assistance of Pennsyl
vania, a road was constructed from
Irvineton, on the Philadelphia & Erie,
to Oil City, known as the Warren &
Franklin road. A line was then se
cured from Oil City to Petroleum Cen
tre, Oil Creek was then bridged and
the Boyd Farm and Oil Creek Rail
road, from Boyd's Farm to Corry, on
Philadelphia & Erie, was also acquired.
These roads gave to Philadelphia &
Erie a circuit of the oil region of 105
miles in length.
All these roads were worked inde
pendently for some time, but later on
they were merged into what was then
known as the Oil Creek & Allegheny
River road. Western New York &
Pennsylvania then ran only as far as
Franklin. All the merged lines after
ward became the property of the Buf
falo, New Nork & Philadelphia, and
later on were included into Western
New York & Pennsylvania. While
Philadelphia & Erie did not build these
lines, its officials were great factors in
having them constructed, and they
virtually belonged to Pennsylvania.
Letter to J. W. Kriner.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir : When you build a house
you want a good paint next the wood
—it goes a long way in taking care of
the wood. The paint that has the best
chance to be useful is this first coat;
first two coats; first three coats. The
first takes care of the wood; the second
takes care of the first; the third takes
care of the two. All three become
one ; and that one is to last forever.
" Forever" means as long as the house
lasts. The way to make the first paint
ing last, as long as the house, is to fol
low it up with repainting often enough.
How often ? Depends on the paint.
Repaint while the paint is still water
proof. All the wear is outside; there
is no wear on the under paint. This is
how the first painting lasts forever; by
keeping it covered ; beeping it sound.
And this is the cheapest way to take
care of a houße. But how often to
paint depends on your paint. If you
paint lead and oil, paint again in three
years or less; if Devoe lead and zinc,
paint again in three years or more.
That "less" and "more" are about as
one to two. Devoe lead and zinc takes
care of a house at half cost, because it
lasts twice as long as lead and oil.
Yours truly,
11 F. W. DEVOE & Co.

Slnnamahoning Liars' Club.
As the country is safe four years more
the Liars' Club has reorganized and are
now ready for business. Pap Blodget
has not told the truth since failing to get
second place on the National ticket at
Philadelphia convention, and is a little
envions of Teddy now. Beldin's skin is
cracking, like a piece of old oil-cloth,from
holding back for our first meeting. Pap
Herfield sold his house to the railroad
company, so we are undecided as to where
our headquarters will be located—per
haps in Logue's corn crib.
Isaac IJowen told some whoppers on
election day which will go hard with him
unless he brings Wesley Barr for proof.
Wesley is in the best of standing and his
testimony goes; he was looking up a place
the day before election for meeting and
reports a favorable place—a barn—which
will be brought up for consideration at
our first meeting.
Should we reinstate all the old mem
bers we will be prepared to meet John
Hogan, Mike Murphy, Mike Dolan, or
Ed. McNerney, barring out Dalrymple.
Wc expect to initiate Ed. Morse at our
first meeting, then Dalrymple's debarment
will be annulled and the world can com
pete.
IJanscom will be elected Great Annias
at our first meeting, to serve one year.
The Club has a drum corps to liven the
sessions. The music is very elaborate;
the shading and frazing by Past G. A.,
Blodget, on the bass drum, and N. H.
McCloskey who handles the fife, and the
trills on the six "snore" drums and two
B I horns, by members of the club, is
something for the authorities (on music)
to look into.

PEO.
A Buckle In Her Lung.
Early in the year 1896 Mrs. Smith,
then Miss McHenry, of Hughesville,
placed a small metal snap off a sus
pender between her lips, and having
occasion to laugh the piece of metal
slipped down her throat and lodged
in her windpipe, as she believed. Sev
eral physicians were consulted, but
none were willing to believe as the
young lady did, they claiming that the
metal had passed down her throat and
would do her no harm. The young
woman adhered to her theory, and, as
a substantiation of her assertion, a
soreness in a short time developed in
her right lung and the symptoms of
tuberculosis made their appearance.
Matters continued practically the same
until a few days ago when, during a
severe spell of coughing, the lady spat
out v/hat is supposed to be the piece of
metal swallowed years ago. It had
become oxydized, resembling a piece
of charcoal.—Clinton Democrat.
