Mrs. Rachel Noble, who recently sustained a verv severe f.acture of the ankle bone by a fall, is getting along slowly, but the severity of the injury will likely prevent her stepping ou her foot for many weeks. The Franklin Newt of Monday, says that "at the Session of court to day, Judge Taylor handed down a decision denying the petition of Mrs. Jennie R. Rogers for a divorce from Rev. Euclid B. Rogers." The large business block of Messrs. Doutt & Proper is inclosed and under roof, and the carpenters are at work on the inside.

Mrs. Rowlaud Cobb, with Misses Nella and Mary, and John and Joe, departed for Kentucky last week to join husband und father, where they will make their home for an indefinite time. We join their many friends here in best wishes fur a prosperous aud happy future. Owing to the over-crowded condi tion of our borough schools, the direct ors nave iouod it necessary to opeu tbe fourth room, and as soon as the furniture can be gotten in shape tbe school will commence. Miss EfTa Clark, daughter of D. W., has been engaged as teacher ; a very good se lection, we should say. J. M.

In the meantime don't wait for the "ad." but call and see the splendid bargains to be bad at his counters. Goods selling cheaper than ever. Lome and see us. Uur prices will make you happy. It. The Meadville Gazette bos taken on more power, so to speak, having added to its already fine equipment of braius, two first class men in tbe per sous of A. W. McCoy and John Cal vin, Jr., who are both thoroughly practical ia tbo "art preservative of all arts," and are escellent, all around newspaper men. This acquUitiou gives Col. Reisiuger a cliauce to devote much more of bis time to the editorial page of the paper, which will be spicier than ever, and give to the Gazette a new boost to the front, which its already laryo list of readers will heartily p prcciato. Success to the now deal. Following is the record for the past ten days'or two weeks: At John T. Carson's, a boy ; at Geo. Raab's, a boy ; at S. 8. Canfield's, a girl ; and last, but not least by a long shot, a boy at our bouse Monday morning of Ibis week. You lee there is some ad vantage in being last in tbe above list, for it gives us a chance to "even up" on the cigars with tho other fellows. Owing to the mild weather of the past Jew months, mild prices will pre vail at David Barnett's store during the remainder of the season. His largo stock of all kinds of winter goods will be sold at 15 to 25 per cent. below former prices in order to make room for spring goods. Call early and secure the advautage of these prices before the best selections are gono. He means business. It. Daniel Heidingcr, for whom a warrant was issued in April last on the charge of dynamiting for.. fish in the river was arrested Saturday at West Hickory by Constable Connely and Deputy Constable Lynch. He was brought to Oil City Sunday, was taken for a bearing before 'Squire Reynolds, plead guilty and was fined fifty dollars and the costs. Pending the payment of the same he was re manded to the lockup for safe keeping. LUzzard. The "oldest inhabitant" is in the soup; anyway be is saying very little about the winter of so and so, way back when he was a boy, beating the record thus far this year. Up to this writing the thermometer has not reg istered lower than 10 degrees above zero, and of snow we have had actual ly none, barring the little spurt of about 2 inches that fell some timo in November. Tbe weather record is a big one and ia not likely to be beaten in this century. Drs. Siggina and Morrow of this place performed an operation on the right leg of Frederick Cubbon, of Fagundus, yesterday, amputating it about four inches above the knee. Mr. C. had been suffering for some lime with a diseased knee joint, which med ical treatment seemed powerless to cure, and amputation was tbe only hope of relief. The operation was very successfully performed, the pa tient sustaining the shock remarkably well, and seemed quite elated at the result. The new officials of the county were properly iustallcd into their sev eral positions on Monday of this week. Judgo White was over from Baroett and took back with him a piece of "sheep skiu" in the shape of a com mission nearly as big as an ordinary newspaper. Treasurer IUggerty was sworn in, and as soon as tbe Auditors have finished their settlement with Treasurer Fitzgerald, which is now in progress, Mr. II. will proceed to re ceive and pay out the county's funds. To the old, as well as the new officers, our best wit lies arc estended for future success. About two weeks ago a 17 year- old son of Wm. Mealy, living about five miles from this place, on the Ty lersburg road, accidentally brought an ax down on his right foot in such a manner as to nearly sever all but the little toe therefrom. The injury did not heal to the satisfaction of the family, and Dr. F. T. Nason was sum mooed on Suuday last, and found that amputation of tho foot at about tbe middle was necessary. This be pro ceeded to do, and now the young man is getting along very comfortably. He was assisted in the operation by his brother, Dr. W. A. Nason, of Pleas antville. "I wish," said an old citizen to a detachment of the Punssutawucy Spirit, "that everybody knew what a grand thing varnish is for a burn. It would save a mighty sight of needless suffering. If any one who is burned will immediately apply a coating of common varnish to the injured parts, it will not only u'.lay the pain almost instantly, but will cause it to heal up withuut a sear. I have tried it and seen it tried many times, and it never fails." The important thing in treat ing a burn ia to keep it from the air, and the varnish furnishes a new and impervious coatiug for the skin which has been injured. The Herald and lrclyUr, of Cincinnati, O., contains several ably edited departments. Tho Home Circle, Woman's Work, The Correspondence, The Church News, The Editorial Page, and The General Articles, are all of the very highest order. We do not see how any Christian family can do without the Herald and Presbyter. The editorial articles of Dr. C. E. Babb, the stories furnished by "Pansy," one of tbe most popular writers iu Ameri ca, make the Herald and Iretbyter in valuable. All who begin to take this paper, are sure to contiuue on account of their attachment for it. Everybody should try it. We advise all Presby terians to subsciibe at oice. Tbe terms are low, being 82.50 a year. ' Sund for sample copies. As to tho European epidemic of Influenza, which is now holding prob ably a third of the people of Europe n its grasp, and is already doing a very estensivo business in this coun try, the following remarks of Dr. John G. Blake, of BoBton are of Interest: 'The disease in this country has not shown itself to bo dangerous as yet, but an attack is no laughing matter, as I myself can testify. It went all through my family, but I was most se verely affected myself. I managed to keep up and at work, but I felt as if I had better have been at home. The first day or so I suffered a great deal with fever, burning pains, compression and pain iu the bead and an intolera ble thirst. As these symptoms wore off there appeared a lack of appetite, followed by a softening of the mucus, and esudations from the nose, and a hacking rough. I am now recovered from all but the after effects. The slight trouble in my nose will soon disappear, but I believe it will be weeks before my strength ia what it was before. Tbe lassitude and weak ness that follows an attack of 'La Giippe' are out of all proportion with the severity of the illness. As a rem edy, quinine is good for those who can take it. To those with whom quiuioe does not agree I havo administered antipyrine with good results, but this remedy can not be used with safety in the case of patients wbo are predis posed to heart trouble. The cstrcme debility and weakness consequent upon it is the feature of 'La Grippe,' and that which makes it of sufficient im portance to be called an epidemic. Tbis constitutional 'symptom is what cannot be explained." Big Fire at Marienville. The thriving town of Marienville, this county, received its first serious scorching on Wednesday morning of last week. At a very early hour on that morning fire was discovered in the barber shop of II. II. Harp, and before the general .alarm could be sounded the building was almost en tirely enveloped in flames, and spread ing rapidly until the shoe-shop of Justico E. Whilliog, and the drug store of Dr. Stooecipher, adjoining, were pnst saving. The nest building to catch was the fine large hotel of J. B. Watson, which was totally destroy ed. Nest came the large new mer cantile building of T. J. Reyner, full of goods; also a large warehouse be longing to him, which were both con sumed. The fire stopped here, having no more fuel to feed upon, but tho destruction and loss was surely great enough for one town like Marienville. The lusse?, as nearly ns we could ascertain them, were as follows : T. J. Reyner, loss on buildings and goods, 85000 ; insuroi for $2,700. J. B. Watson, loss of hotel and furniture, $3000. No insurance. Dr. Stoneciphcr saved most of his goods; loss not estimated. E. Whitling's loss was total ; not estimated. II. H. Harp's loss was also total, but our iuformant did not get tbo es timate. The Odd Fellows bud their lodgo room over Royoer'a store, and lost most of their furniture, &o., amount ing to about $400; covered by iosur auce. Four other secret orders occupied tbe same room, and lost all ihey had They were the Equitablo Aid Union Patriotic Order Sons of America American Mechanics, aud tho Sons of Temperance. The fire is supposed to havo caught either from tbo gas, or from a spit box filled with suw dust in Mr. Harp's barber shop. Wheu discovered his building was all aflame iuside. The citizens of the place turned ou in full force and worked valiantly, bu against great odds. The little "shift er" engine did good work in sounding the alarm. Sheriff1 Sawyer was stop ping at tbe Watson House, and was one of the first to discover the blaze, which started almost opposite his room window. To him we are indebt ed for the above meagre account of the conflagration. The loss is a severe blow to the town, but the well known pluck of the unfortunate oucs is a guarantee that the recovery will be rapid. "Time is money."
