Soqi&JLocslities protect their game
from pot hunters by enforcing a law
making it illegal to send game killed
there out of the State. Why would it
not be a good idea to encourage tbe
passage of such a law io this State?
It is a koowu fact ttiBt in some por
tions of this vitality, market hunting
has become quite an industry, aud
game particularly pheasants nire
systematically buoted simply fur the
price tbey briog, with the result that
such game is becomiog very scarce. It

that there will be nothiDg lacking in

tbe evening sessions.
Forty feet of a fall for a horse is
a big tumble, but that is tbe distance,
by actual measurement, which a horse,
belonging to Seaton & Son, of Oil
City, took on Friday last. The driver
of their junk wagon, J. G. Davis, was
coming up what is known as Tiets
worth hill, this side of tbe creek bridge,
and attempted to turn tbe rig . arouod
when near the top of the bill. The
bind wheels of the wagon went' over
the baok, giving tbe horse jerk and
before be could gain a foot bold, was
dragged over the embaokmeot. The
animal was thrown backwards com
pletely over the wagon and lit on - his
bead at the water's edge, a distance of
forty feet from where he left the road,
breaking bis neck close up to tbe
head. Luckily for the driver he was
not on the wagon at tbe lime, and thus
escaped injury. The wagon was badly
demolished, and tbe juok, rags, &o.,
were strewn about prouuscouely,
Jim Burkett, of Tubbs Ron, bad
a surplus cat, and how to "reduce the
surplus" has been a greater bugbear
to Jim for some time past than the
national surplus has been to the free
traders. He finally hit upon a plan,
and hastened to put It into execution.
A small stick of dynamite and a piece
of fuse would do the work ; so gath
ering up tbe feline and the explosive!,
Jim repaired to the bill above his
house, tied the dynamite to the cat, lit
the fuse and started for borne. Bo did
tbe catl Jim quickened his steps and
so did the cat! Jim ran and tbe Cat
ran, and the faster Jim ran the faster
tbe cat ran, and tbe oat was gaining
ground while Jim's hair was raising 1
On they camel tearing through tbe
brush, over rocks, aod jumping gullies
wide and deep, and all the wbile Jim
was hoping" to hear a report, and won
dering bow long he had cut that blasted
fuse. At last, when within a few rods
of home, the welcome explosion came,
aod Jim "rested from his labors"
and breathed easier. Tho new method
is a good one, but it is safe to say Jim
will fall back on tbe old fashioned
style of flour sack with a stone in it.
Either that or cut his fuse shjj&tQtiext
time.

The system of cream gathering,
in which so many dairymen are inter
ested, is gaining many' friends in all
parts of tbe norlh. The great object
beiog to lessen the work t home as

tem seems to be leading far in advance
of all others, and for factories as well
as for private dairies it claims to have
no equal. Notice the advertisement
wherein is set forth to some extent tbe
record of triumphs at tbe great fairs
and expositions, to which should he

another boost in the .striking of two
more good wells this week. Kelly,

immediately. It has been necessary
to send for an oil-saver io order to

A Good Word for a Good Man.
Tbe following pleasant notice of our
old friend W. R. Dunn, we find in a
recent issue of tbo Nendesha, Kansas,
Register. After referring to the sus
pension of Mr. Dunn's paper the arti
cle goes ou :
Wbile this step on the part of Mr.
Dunn was not altogether unexpected
to us il is one that we regret very sin
cerely as the men of Mr. Dunn's stamp,
capability, and sterliug character as
well as moral integrity are not so plen
tiful ia the ranks ot journalism that
we do not feel tbe loss of one. The
Chronicle and its editor have deserved
better at the hands of its patrons, and
especially of those of Fredooia, than
to be allowed to suspend, but a uu ruber
of persons seem to think that a uews
paper man is able to live on vague,
general promises, or broken aod un
fulfilled ones and have thus, as in this
case, forced many a good man to the
wall. The Chronicle was always a
clean, newsy sheet, with a steadfast
adherence to the principles of morality
and religion and to the grand political
tenets of tbe Republican party. And
it deserves a special recognition of this
latter characteristic iuasruuc'.i as it is
patent to all acquainted with tbe cir
cumstances and conditions under
which the Chronicle was started aod
run that if Mr. Dunn bad allowed it
to be a mugwump sheet and an organ
for bolters, soratthers, kickers aud
soreheads that he could have obtaiued
a much better support. But he would
not sacrifice his principles for money
or even fur the requisite support nec
essary to enable him to keep the means
he bad already secured, and for this
we bonor him, as should every other
consistent man. We understand that
Mr. Duno will cootioua to make Fre
dooia bis borre aad that be will prob-
ably ongsge in practicing law, he hav-
ng been admitted to the bar in this
district some time since.
Again we express our regrets at the
combination of circumstances that has
led to this step on his part. We shall
mi?s the Chronicle from our exchange
table and the genial face of its editor
from the ranks of our brother editors.
n public and in private life bis char
acter has been consistent and without
reproach and that of a true christian
gentleman and our best wishes for his
success in whatever avocation he may
enter upon are hereby tendered.
Birthday Party.
Ffty of Mrs. S. M. Ward's friends
and neighbors gathered at her home
to remind her of that day being her
fifty-fourth birthday. At dinner time
the table was prepared and fairly
groaned with the abundance of good
things prepared by the ladies. All
did ample justice to the refreshments,
after which Rev. Delo presented her
with the many presents from her
friends, which are too numerous to
mention. After appropriate remarks
and prayer they departed for their
homes, feeling that it was good to be
there. Our sincere wish is that Mrs.
Ward may live to see and enjoy mary
more birthdays.

Last woek an engine on tho Toledo, Col

senger train from Toledo to Findlay, O.,
on fuel furnished by Ohio crude petro
leum. The trial was such a success that
President Brown announces that "ho will

of oil and do away with coal altogether.

An editor died and slowly wended his
way down to where ho supposed a warm
reception awaited him.. The devil met
him and said: "For many years thou bast
borne the blame for the errors that the
printers made in tbe paper. The papers
have gone, alas I for one dollar ; alas 1 the
other dollar has failed to come In. You
were bedeviled by the printers for wages,
whoa thou hadst not a cent to pay them.
Men have taken thy paper without paying
for It, and cursed thee for not getting up a
better paper. Thou hast been called
doad-beat and a fraud by men who were
both. All these things thou host borne in
silenoe, and thou canst not come in here."
And satan murmured to himself: "Heaven
is bis home, and besides, if we bad let him
in here he would have boon continually
dunning his delinquent subscribers and
thus creating discord in my kingdom.

Parents in Oil City, as well as elsewhere,
can, if they will, derive a lesson from the
fate of Franklin Asbury Hawkins who
was hanged at Riverhead, L. I., last Tues
day. says the Blizzard. When a child he
was oold, sullen and vicious, and his pa.
rents did little to correct htm. I la. rev
elled in inflicting pain upon some harm
less animal. To choke a kitten to death
or to tear the leg from a quivering frog
were delightful rocruatlons to him. An
other of his pleasures was to catch all the
cats of the neighborhood he could lay his
hands on, tie them Into a bunch, watch
them tear one another with claws and
teeth until weakened from loss of blood
and then fling them into the furnaceof his
I fatnor 8, moulding mm. ms motner
whom he afterwards murdered, called
such exhibitions of devilisbness "tricks"
and excused them on account of his "ten
der age." When anybody else reprimand
ed him she would be extremely i accused,
once sending him to another school be
cause the teacher at the one he attended
whipped him for tearing a living kitten
asunder before some of the othor pupils.
His youth was filled with deeds of even
more cruelty, and he finally finished his
career by shooting bis mother and hiding
hor body in a swamp. Lack of proper
training is very likely responsible for the
development of his vlclousness to such
colossal proportions. The rod was spared
and a child bad by nature was permitted
to grow into a fiend.

"Another wonderful discovery has been
rriade and that too by a lady in this count?.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her ana
for seven years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were Under

sumption and was so much relieved on
taking first dose that she slept all night
and with one bottle has been miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.'
