The bill introduced by Represen
tative Phillips, of Kansas, in the Na
tional House of Representatives "to
authorize the issue of postal savings
bonds aud for other purposes," has re
ceived the approval of the House
banking and currency committee, and
a prominent member says the report
in favor of its adoption will be nearly
unanimous. It provides that holders
of lawful money, Treasury notes or
coin, may make deposits in any sums
larger than twenty-five ceuts in any
postal mouey office, and when the
sums reach $10 a postal order on the
Treasury shall be given and shall be
receivable for bonds, to be known as
"postal savings bonds," to be issued
by the Treasury aud bearing interest
at the rateof 3.65 per cent, per annum.
Holders of postal orders may receive
the bonds after five days' notice at the
money order offices where the orders
were Issued. Said bonds shall also be
issued, upon application, in exchange
for lawful money, or Treasury notes or
coin, at the Treasury of the United
States or at the office of any Assistant
Treasurer or designated depository,
and shall be exempt from all taxation.
The bill further provides for the pay
ment of Interest every three months.
The bonds may be exchanged for cur
rency at any time at the variousTreas
ury offices. The money thus received
by the government sha'l be applied to
the redemption of such of the bonds
of the United States as are redeemable
at pleasure. The hill also authorizes
the Secretary of the Treasury to pre
pare a special Issue of United States
notes, identical in all respects with
the legal-tender notes, which shall be
a legal tender for all debts, public and
private, except duties on imports and
payment of interest on the public
debt, to the amount of ten per centum
of the postal money orders and postal
savings bonds actually outstanding,
until tho whole amount of such
special issue shall reach tliesum of $50,
000,000, which special issue of legal
tender notes shall be used wholly and
exclusively in the redemption of the
postal savings bonds herein provided
for, under such rules and regulations
as the Secretary of the Treasury 6hall
prescribe for the purpose.

Washington's Birthday Num

It. Is but once in a li retime tliat a
President of the United States writes
for a newspaper; but President Hayes
has taken such an interest in the
Washington's Birthday number of
The Sunday School Times, of Phila
delphia, that he contributes to it a
special message to the youth of the
country, on the example of Washing
ton. All the governors of the original
thirteen states also proffer timely
counsel to the young of America, and
to their parents and teachers. These
representatives of the "old thirteen-'

Oil Tuesday -evening, the 12th
Inst., the house of Dorr Dwighl, In
Hebron township, on the Oswayo
Creek, was totally destroyed by fire,
and a child aged about two years
perished in the flames. The woman
of the house had gone out after a pall
of water, when her little boy came
running after her saying that a pane
of glass had broken and the baby was
all a fire. It Is supposed that the
lamp exploded ana the breaking glass
made the boy think a pane of glass
had broken. Mr. Dwlght was absent
at Bradford at work. He has the
sympathy of the entire community In
his double affliction. There was no
insurance.

Death of an Old and Hard

twelve years. t?ne laiu eggs every

Think of a hen laying eggs for eleven

to business is seldom heard of, and
probably never before recorded.
Clarion
From the Republican.
On the night of the22J a masquerade
ball was given at the Opera House, in
Edenburg. Just as the dancing com
menced, a party of Elk City roughs
headed by Punch Dulin and a man
named Broadwater, came in. Broad
water got in trouble with one of the
women present, and this resulted in a
general fight. During the fracas, Mr,
Geo. Thomas, who has charge of the
building interferred to keep the peace.
While thus engaged he was struck bv
Dulin aud knocked down. The burly
ruffian then commenced kicking him,
and one of the kicks broke the leg of
Thomas just above the ankle. Dulin
left on the early morning train and
has not been arrested to date, , It was
a brutal affair and the parties engaged
in it should be severely dealt 'with.
On Saturday morning last an al
tercation took place at Beaver City
between two meu named Wiekham
and Fritzgerald, over a game; of cards,
Wiekham struck Fitzgerald over the
head with a poker, knocking him
senseless. The injured man ws taken
to the Exchange Hotel, and for a time
his life was despaired of. Wiekham
was arrested and taken before Esq.
Atwell,, and held to bail in the sum
of $1000. Being unable to procure this
Wiekham was brought to Clarion jail.
McKcan
From the Miner.
The occurrence of dry wells in the
north west is rather dampening the
hopes of the Warren people of the ex
tension of the O. B. & W. rnilroad to
their place, and the expediency is now
discussed in railroad circles of connect
ing with the Philadelphia & Erie rail
road at a point farther east than War
ren. The surveys of the N. Y. &.
Erie all shewed it to be better not to
cross the deep valley of the Kinzua,
but to turn it, by following the main
ridge which passes through the south
part of Keating township. This
would bring the O. B. &. W. within
four or five miles of Smethport. A
branch could be very cheaply built
connecting the O. B. & W. with the
McKcan & Buffalo at this place.
Jefforson
From the Qkapiiiu.
John W. Brumbaugh and J. C
DeMott who have been engaged at
leasing land in Pinecreek township,
for Fargo A Strong of Edenburg, in
form us that they have succeeded in
leasing twenty-two hundred acres, and
that James McFadden and Jau
Taylor commenced taking out timber
for that purpose on Wednesday last,
and the first derrick will be erected on
the Nathaniel Butler farm, which will
le completed in ten days or two weeks,
when drilling will be commenced at
once. Five others will immediately
follow, and we have every reason for
believing that in a few months Pine
creek township will'lay Puuxsutaw
ney's, "Ground Hog City" In the
shade. Thus it is the opinion that
there is oil in Jefferson county, and
since there Is not enough capital or
enterprise among our people to test the
mutter, It Is highly encouraging to
know that out-siders will do it for us
aud we predict that, before another
year has flown, Jeffewon county will
be a prominent phrase In the annals
of oil Join.
From the Republican.
A riffle of excitement took place in
Franklin last week, the cause thereof
being an attempted elopement of a
married man named John Rose, with
a fair young lady of that place. A
warrant was sworn out by the deserted
wife, anil the guilty pair overhauled
at Meadville, where the male biped
had stopped long enough to get on a
big drunk. The young lady was re
turned to her parents, where she will
have an opportunity to repent of her
foolish escapade.
Clearfield
From the Republican.
Three pairs of fox ears were pre
sented to Treasurer McGaughey last

"taken in" by the trickr.

The way to cure a cough is to stop it.
The lungs aud throat can never heal
as long as they are Irritated tiy a
constant cough. Dr. Fen tier's Im
proved Cough Honey will relieve any
cough in one hour or less. It will
break una cold in the iieait betore any
cough bus formed iu two to three
hours rreveutlon Is better than a
cure I Iu chronic- coughs the system
must be placed under the healing in-
nueuces or pr. renner s hioou ana
Liver Remedy and Xerve Tonic also.
This places the system iu a healing
condition and under the two remedies
the lungs and throat rapidly heal.
