Lamb, of Gale ton, who have been visiting their Em porium friends during the past week, guests of Prothonotary Goodnough and wife, returned to their home last Monday, having evidently enjoyed their visit here. Numerous parties and receptions were held in their honor by old friends. Chief of Police Frank Mundy last week received a letter from his son William, who had been on an ocean cruise as chief Stewart of steamer South Portland. The ship arrived at San Francisco on the sth of this month. The young man reports a pleasant voyage and expects to come home in the near future. Lumbering Conditions About Us. Mid-winter finds the lumbering con ditions in the vicinity of Austin in tho worst possible shape. Very few of the sub-jobbers are solvent and a trip to the woods will be productive of seeing dozens of idle men, many of them with orders for their wages in their pockets. Thsy have been unable to obtain their hard earned wages and are chary about working under the present conditions. This is practically the condition of affairs with the Messrs. Fee Brothers. ! Up Crooked Run, there is not a single j jobber whose orders have not been re- i fused. The writer recently saw a young ! man from Center county, Mr. Peter ! Miller,go home empty handed although he had earned a stake of nearly fifty dollars which he was unable to collect. Many of Mr Hart's jobbers have gone up in smoke but in justice to that gen tleman it must be said he has in every instance protected the men who did the work. We have yet to hear of a single man being beaten out of his pay on any of Mr. Hart's work although we have heard of that gentleman going down in his own pocket and liquidating debts he knew there was no possible chance of ever being repaid to him. Salt Run appears more favored than other localities. Will Reese is working a small crew of men and they are as sure of their pay as if they were em ployes of Uncle Sam. Ed. Haughney also is doing good work and like Mr. Reese is making some money. There may be others on "easy street" in this territory but we wouldn't want them to owe us over a thousand dollars at any one time. Crooked Run has surely been rightly named, for some of the deals that have come to the writer's notice have the ear marks of not being exactly straight. Jobbers have beaten their men, at least the men cannot gettheir pay—but these same jobbers can goto the store and buy all the groceries, clothing, etc., they desire without a word of question. ' In some instances the men have been informed that they could "trade out their wages if they so desired '' Prob ably a rigid enforcement of the law against "company stores" would not be amiss just now over in the woods In speaking of Crooked Run, there is one exception to the general rule in that locality. That is /jhe work being done on Hart's job by Mr. Walter B. Moore of Port Allegany. Mr. Moore's finances are such that he could do a dozen such jobs and scarcely realize their drainage of his bank account. Besides, Mr. Moore is making money. This simple fact speaks volumes for his executive ability as a woodsman, and his popularity with the hicks speaks louder still for the straightfor ward and manly principles he is noted for. Mr. Moore has no"pay days." When a man earns his money it is due him, without any question or cavil, and that gentleman's name on a check is the most popular paper obtainable at pres ent up Crooked Run. While notspeak ing authoraiively, The Republican has heard said repeatedly that neither Mr. Geo. F. Hart or Al. Baldwin will accept any work the coming season. The withdrawal of these gentlemen from lumbering will mean the immigration of the better class of woodsmen from this vicinity.—Austin Republican. Those early Spring suitings have ar rivedat R. Seger & Company's fctailor ing establishment. Some very fine bargains. From the Bellefonte News we learn that the M. E. Church of that place have passed resolutions highly com mendatory of Rev. W. P. Shriner and request his appointment to that city for another year. The Galveston News gives a resume of the damage done by the terrible storm last September, giving the prop erty loss at $17,058,275. Number of homes destroyed was 4,131. Since the storm $'2,258,600 has been expended in building In each district, which was swept clean by fche storm, more than 1,000 houses have been built. The total relief received by Galveston, including money and supplies, was $1,549,000. Galveston's retail trade since the storm has been better than before the storm. The wholesale houses suffered very heavy losses, but are ready for 1901 business. Galveston rises from the wreck and ruin of the storm and flood with a determination to live, and in a lew years the frightful calamity will be no more than a bitter memory. CAMERON COUNTYIPRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1901. BRIEF riENTION. The people's popular play Saturday night. Qo and eee. "David Garrick" at the Opera House Saturday night.

The Thespians of State College, a lit erary and dramatic club, will give their popular performance at the Opera House Saturday night. An exchange says:"The law pro vides that school directors, by one or more of their number, shall visit every school in the district at least once each mcntb, and shall cause the results of each visit to be entered on the min utes." The Goodyears are preparing to test a great contrivance at their Potter county lumber operations. It is a ma chine to cut down trees, peel bark and cut logs It is owned by the New York syndicate and when fastened to a tree will peei it from the ground to the limbs, then cut down the tree and saw it int > logs. It is operated by an easily movable power, and, owing to the close ness to the ground which it cuts a tree, effects a great saving in lumber.—Brad ford Star. A writer in the Jamestown Journal says Asa Carr's people of Russell have been troubled for a long time with honey bees coming into their house and lately they became so numerous that Mr Carr concluded to investigate and find their home. He removed several of the weather boards on the side of the house where he found an immense lot of honey. We understand that when it was all removed it weigh ed 120 pounds. Surely it was a sweet find. An exchange is moved to remark: Among the most enterprising people in every community are the merchants and shopkeepers. They are always ready to help every public enterprise to the extent of their ability. When they have money they invest it. Now, in order to encourage enterprise and start in the new century right, let every cit izen arrange to pay all his old bills. Economize a little if necessary; even borrow a little, if forced to do so, but by all means pay the bills that you owe and lay the foundation for better times. Two young people ot Jersey City, desiring to marry and not having enough money, have entered into an agreement, which was duly drawn up before a Justice of the Peace, to con tribute weekly to the raising of a fund of §ISOO. If in two years the sum shall not have been completed the idea of marriage is to be forever abandoned. It is provided that the woman is to con tribute $lO a week and the manonly §5. This is not because his incidental expenses will be greater than those of the woman during the two years, but because he is making only $lO a week, while she makes sl4. The new game bill now before the Legislature does not change the open season in any particular, but cuts down the number of pheasants, wild turkeys and deer that may be taken any one day or season by a single hunter. No person shall kill in a single day more than five pheasants, nor kill more than two turkeys or one deer in one season. Rabbits may be killed from the 15th of October to the 15th of December, and you may kill them any other time when known to be destroying fruit trees or vegetables on your premises. The law continues to prohibit selling of pheas ants, woodcock or quail, or shipment of same out of the State. The reduction in the number of pheasants that may be taken in any one day to five is a great improvement on the old law, and will have a tendency to stop the work of the game hog.—Ex. The Punxsutawney Spirit treating on human frailties says: People who have small intellects like noise. Intellectual people who have thoughts to think, and enjoy thinking them, detest noise. Children and people who are almost purely animal, enjoy hubbub and tur moil. A healthy imbecile likes to rattle a chain, pound with a stick, or do any thing to make a noise. Give him a horn to blow, a drum to beat or a bell to ring and he will grin like a wood fox. Bright little children will do the same. What Josh Billings terms an "ordinary damphool," will whistle or sing, or beat the devil's tatoo with his fingers to keep hiß meagre intellect busy. Wealthy people who have no particular brains to speak of and nothing to do, put on claw hammer coats and low necked dresses and goto balls, whore they act like savages at a snake dance to the musicofan orchestra. They call them | telves "society." Society people are any sort of people who can amuse themselves with frivolities. What is j known as "high society" may be dis tinguished from ordinary society by the fact that its members drink champagne i instead of beer. That is the purely j animal idea of pleasure.

It will be to your interest to remember this. N. SEGER. Letter to Fred Julian. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: Is a gallon of paint a gal lon of paint, or half-a-gallon ? Some times one, sometimes the other. E. P. Lynch, and his prepecessor, Delhi, N. Y., sold a well-known mixed paint for twenty years—lt's a good paint, as mixed paints go. N. Avery owns two houses exactly alike there. He painted one four years ago with this mixed paint—took 12 gal lons. Last spring, he painted the oth er house with Devoe; bought 12 gallons and had six gallons left. Same painter: George Gilbert. Same result, so far as looks go. But the point of this tale is: Ist: That a paint is dear or cheap according to what it is; no matter about the price. 2nd: That a gallon of one kind of paint can contain twice as much paint as a gallon of another kind of paint. Devoe goes twice as far as Mixed Paint—two to one—but that isn't all. This story, however, skips the rest— how it wears is the rest. Another, same town—Ferguson & Thompson's store was painted some years ago with this same Mixed Paint —32 gallons. Repainted last spring with Devoe. Mr. Lynch said 16 gallons would be enough. Thev have 3 gallons left. Yours truly, 22 F. W DEVOE & Co. NO. 3255.
