Those who attended the G. A. R
national encampment at Washington
lust week from this section, have about
all let u rued, aud report the "greatest
time on record" by all odds. Cver
400,000 visitors were in the city, and
iu the gratid parade, upward nf 85,000
were in line. Got). Weissert, of Mil

'twould stand a bearing. Shucks.
There is scarcely any thing in the
papers these days about cholera, an
indication that the dread is about over
aud with the vigilance kept up a few
weeks longei cold weather will do the
rest. But that shouldn't keep people
from cleaning up. There will be noth
ing wasted, even if cholera don't come.
The U. S. weather crop bulletin
for the pBBt week gives the following as
as to l'enusylvania : "Rainfall above,
temperature aud sunshiue below nor
mal. Good week for farm work.
Early sjwu wheat giowiog nicely;
corn cutting general, crop short in

Mrs. Elizabeth Metcilliott, wife of

home iu thrt township, on the 18lh
ioat., after n lingering illuesss. Her
age was 77 years, and the family had
been residents of that section for up
ward of 50 years,- coming originally
from near Philadelphia.
The soldier boys of the 15th reg
iment, who have been on duly so long
at Homestead have been relieved, their
services being no longer needed. A
happier set it would be hard to find, no
doubt, and it is more than likely that
before another "war breaks out" most
of the present members will also he out
and slay out. The 16th is 'still on
duty.

Bre'r Shiuk of the Clarion Jacfoonian
has tried it, but he warns his readers
to look out for the man wbo advertises
that on payment of fifty cents he will
tell you how to make one cent postage
stamps do the work of two ceat stamps.
If you send him your fifty cents you
will receive the following answer by
mail : "use two of them."
Mr. Cleveland has at last recov
ered suflicieut breath, since President
Harrison's letter was published, to say
to the Democracy ho "accepts." Ev
ery important question is touched in
the most gingerly manner, and those of
the ex-President's friends who expect
ed a strong document, a regular fehold
er-li i Iter, as it were, will bo greatly
disappointed in this mere appeal for
votes.
Rev. McAniuch was suddenly
called away yesterday by the receipt
of a telegram stating that his father,
whose home is iu Kansas, was danger
ously ill. Iu consequeuce of his ab
sence there will be no preaching in the
Presbyterian church next Sabbath.
One week from next Sabbath evening,
however, Rev. J. T. Brennan will
preach there. The congregation will
bear in mind the appointment.
Mr. P. T. Winters graduated from
the Keelcy institute and departed for
bis home in Titusville yesterday. He
felt so grateful to the "good people
of Tionesta, and to Dr. Siggins,
who is a fine gentl eman as well as a
good doctor," as he expressed it, that
he wished us to publicly thank them
for the many kindnesses shown him.
He left feeling like a new man, and
with praises aud thanksgivings on his
lips.
A number of our exchanges are
saying that nominations for spring
elections under the new ballot law,
must be made sixty days before elect
ion' which is erroneous. The law says:
"Certificates of nomination and nomi
nation papers for candidates for town
ship and borough officer and school
directors, shall be filed with the'audit
ors of thoir respective townships and
boroughs at least ten and seven days
respectively before the day of election."
About a mouth ago a steer in
tended for Butcher Jas. Butler, escap
ed from Alex. Thompson at a point
near Ernest Sibble's place, on German
Hill. The critter had about 40 feet
of rope attached to bis horns, with a
knot draggling ou the ground. Up to
the present time nothing whatever has
been seen or heard of the missing ani
mal, and there is scarecly any doubt
but that the rope has become fast
ened and the steer perished from
hunger ere this.
An exchange relates the following,
which is a matter of very frcqueut oc
currence iu every newspaper office :
"A gentleman came into our office the
other day and asked for a Brookville
paper. We gave him the Democrat
and the Itcjullican aud he scanned
theni butt) closely trying to find a card
ofacertaiu lawyer, but iu vain. If
the lawyer had hail his card iu the pa
per he might have profited by it. But
some people can't see the benefit of
advertising. A newspaper is a direc
tory and every busiuess man in the
town should havo an advcrtisinent in
bis local paper, even if it only con
tains bis name, address aud his busi
ness. It will more than pay you some
lime."
'require lloovler, on hi Hunter
Ruu farm, raised a line crcp of pota
toes this year, hit h iu quantity and
quality. He has a few on exhibition
at the posloflice, which show up about
as uice as any you generally see in the
potato line. Some of the I argot and
best varieties he raised from the seed.
We don't know that Mr. H. cares to
sell any great quantity of bis product,
but be will not experience much difli
culiy in getting rid of such stock.
Secretary Harrity has sent to the
couuty commissioners throughout the
Slate copy of Attorney General Hen
sel's opinion of the correct form nf the
official ballot under the new election
law, and a couple of sariiple ballots ar
ranged in accordance therewith. The
tickets are arranged under three heads :
"Republican," "Democratic," and "hy
Nomination Papers," the prohibition
candidates coming under the latter
head. Another column is. left blank
for names not printed in the ballot.
A change of proprietorship in the
drug and grocery store of Siggius &
Koues has taken place, Mr. Foues re
viving, haviug disposed of hit half in
terest to Dr. F. T. Nason, who adds
much intelligent experience to the al
ready large and successful business of
this establishment. Mr. Fones will he
retained as drug cleik, at least for the
present, and that fact will be au as
surance to the patrons that their every
want will be carefully looked after.
The new deal has uur best wishes for
success.
It bad beeen supposed thai potato
bugs had about ruu uut in these dig
gin's, but if a story told us about a re
cent discovery of the little striped
pest is any indicitim that they'll be
on hand for next year's crop, then or
der your Paris green right away. The,
item ij to the effect that a short time
ago J, C. Miller, wbo lives near Kel-
lettvilo, came across a green stock of
potatoes which was literally covered,
and Joe took the trouble to count
them. One hill contained 571 bugs
and another 41)1. All good fat healthy
bugs, too.
Thomas McCarty and Dennie
Downey, of Fagundus, who have the
contract of building the uow road from
Jamieson station to the Hunter run
road, are progressing finely with their
job, aud expect to havo it completed
before bad weather sets iu. The road
starts at a point on Jamieson Run,
about three quarters of a mile from
the railroad, and goes over the hill at
an easy grade, intersecting the Hunter
Run road near Squire Honvler's place,
two miles from 1 lonesta station- It is
intended to supply the road running
parallel with the railroad between Ti.
onesla and Jamieson stations, which
has been vacated.
Mr. W. W. Dimond came out
with the other Kaneas vols to take
part iu the big show at Washington
last week, aud took advantage of his
visit east to spend a few days with old
frieuds in this vicinity. Time don't
seem to change William much, least
wise he's as good uatured aud full of
pleasantry as when a boy of 16. Kan
sas is having quite a boom this season;
the crops. are so large that the Alli
ance and Democratic calamity bowlers
are too busy harvesting their products
to give proper attention to politics,
aud so the Republicans are going to
scoop things in the old fashioned way,
so Mr. D. intimates, and we guess its
so, for one good season of crops gener
ally paralyzes hard-limes croakers.
Says the Blizzard, truthfully:
"wheu the newspapers cease (he publi
cation of cholera news witb big head
lines; when the doctors are silent and
society gets down to its normal condi
tion of conversational rest, it may be
safely assumed that the great scare is
over. The disease is rapidly abating
in Europe; thauks to scientific, and
sauilary precautious, it has not obtain
ed a foothold in the United Slates, and
there is little reason to believe tbat
the few sporadic cases, which may be
developed bere and there, will not be
controlled. An emiueut medical au
thority gives it as his opiuioo that
more of the cholera victims die of
fright than from other effects of the di
sease." The news from the Wbite House
as to the illness) of Mrs. Harrison is
not re-assuring it is painful to learn, and
tbat the first lady of the laud may at
anytime be called away is among the
possibilities. The sympathy of the
American nation goes out to the Pres
ident io his trying hour, while the ill
nessess of Mrs. Harrison throws a pall
over the campaign, for what heart can
the leader of the Republican hosts
have for politics when the wife whose
kind words aud wise councils have so
often stood him iu good stead, is lying
at the threshhold of t'eath? But parti
sauship is forgotten, the voice of de
traction is hushed. The prayers of
inillioug are to-day asking that the
chief magistrate may bo spared the
impending blow.

Monday morning Detective Charles

record. He has been in the peniten
tiary twice, ami the indication point

casion wa several yenr ago when he
stole a horse from a Plessantville man
and sold it in Tidiotite, ami was Mmrt
ly caught end sent "down the river."
The second time has a local interest
and took place about ten year since.
He was charged with burglarizing the
depot nl Hickory, and wa arrested
and brought here by Detective Hall.
At the corner of Franklin and l'iue
streets he broke loose and ran with the
crowd at his heels. In the European
b-del hIIcv he was grappled by a bull
dog and 'lie Hon. J. P. Thomas. De
tective Hall here took a hand in the
trouble, and when Stanford got up out
ol the mud the nippers were nn his
wrists. It is likelv that I he charge of
burglary will be pref'eirtd ngaim-t

Many of our citizens will remember
the above character, and circumstance
of his conviction here for burplat -izing
ihe depot nt West Hickory. Stanford
had a partner in thst scrape by the
name nf Weston. The huilary look
place in the summer of 187H, when
Sheriff Randall was iu office, and Pro-tln-uolary
Showkey n-'cupied the Sher
iff's Iw use and kept an eye on the
the prisoners. They were determined
to ineke their escape from the jail, and
not less than half a dozen attempts
were made, some nf them very nearly
successful. It was finally necessary
for the Sheriff to keep the prisoners
thackled. Bnih were couvicted at the
September sessious of thnt year, and
"sent down" for two years and eight
months.
Columbus llaj.
Supt. Walleryof the Department of
Public Instruction of this Stato, has
issued a circular to dire. "tors, superin
teudenls aud teachers of public schools
iu regard to the celebration of Coin in
bus Day, Oct. 21st, in a fitting manner
in the schools. Tho circular Buys:
This will not be regarded as a legal
ciool holiday. The schools should
open as usual. They may afterward
unite in any of or all the exercises nf
the day. Iu addition to the exercises
by the pupils, nddrosHcs by prominent
citizens and choral aud orchestral mu
sio will be appropriate. A uniform
program has been announced by tho
Executive Committee of tho National
Educational Association. It will con
tain a song, set to a well known tune,
an address to be declaimed and an udu
to be recited, all prepared especially
for tho celebration, by some, of the
best of American writers. This pro
gram iu a complete form will be sunt
to applicants who address Francis
Bellamy, chairman, Boston, Mass , and
will be published throughout the couu
try.
A prominent feature of tho day
should be the planting of Columbus
trees. Hardy, long lived trees are the
most desirable. Where it is possible,
let groves stand us memorials of the
400lh Columbian Anniversary. No
fall Arbor Day has compared iu inter
est with this; let it be fully improved.
It is hoped that where there is a cele
bration by tuegenerul publiu it will he
arranged for the afternoon and that
the schools may be recognized therein.
The educutioual value of the day can
not be over estimated. The memories
revived, the information gained, the
ideals presented, the achievements con
sidered, will nil unite to extend I lie
mental horizon, to stimulate thought
and ennoble character.
You are earnestly requested to ob
serve the day, that the pupils of the
schools of Pennsylvania may pay their
homage to the hero, aud to the spirit
of euterprise commemorated. Let the
day be observed everywhere through
out the State iu such a spirit as to im
press upon the minds of this Common
wealth lessons of patriotism and loyal
ty, love of home and country that will
insure to future generations the jirivi
leges and blessings which we now en
joy and awaken gratitude to God and
a deep and lasting reverence for Amer
ica anil Ainericau institutions.

w as the c ise in one instance, tho amount
of money they contain can be belter ima
gined than described.
An exchange gives this bit of sensible
advice: In betting on election remember
that when that bet is decided the cold
winds of November will be blowing
through your homes. Ilel'ore putting you
money iiji on a sum thing look into your
coal bin, and examine tho condition of
your last winter's llaunels and overcoat.
You may decide to adopt thu only course
that is absolutely sure, w hich is to hang
onto your money. This Is no Joke."
A rolling item gathers no moss, Some
olio having inado tho statement that
wagon milker who hud been dumb for
years picked up a hub and spoke," this Is
tho composite remit: "Yes, and u blind
carpenter on tho same day reached out for
his plane and saw j a deal' ranchman went
out w ith his dog ami herd ; a noseless llsh
criuan caught a barrel of herring and
smelt j a defunct hatter w as tenderly do
posited ou a pile of hair and felt, and a for
ty ton elephant inserted his trunk Into a
grato and Hue,"
There appears to bo sonin doubt as to the
ability of the Mariiictto Maniiliicturing
company to loi n out all thu election booths
iiece.iNary to supply the several coiinllesof
the statu for tho approaching November
election. Over 10,100 or the iil.lmO required
arc still to bo niaiiufaeliired, and thu man
ager of Ihe company says it will rcijuire
steady work w ith no mishaps to complete
tho contract by November 1st. The stato
pays for thn booths, annexes and guard
rail, while the expenses of supplying bal
lot box, polling houses and extra large
table is borne by the county.
This mouth tho new postal money orders
will go Into use. The system is such that
there is little or no complication, and at
thu same time It is a good way to send
money. A sheet calling for amounts from
ono cent to $:l, has been prepared, and
which on payment of one cent and the
amount to be sent, will be torn off about
tho samo as uu express order. There will
ho no writing on it by the postmaster, the
sender endorsing it us a check or drall.
The govornmeiit guarantees its sale trans
portation, U is thought that the new sys
tem will bo used extensively by senders
of small amounts.
Some people Lake ofl'unco when mention
is iiiudu ubout girls "gadding" tho streets,
anil yet tho results of such indulgence Ire-
piently speak in unmistakable tonus of
the baseness which it leads to. The gin
or girls w ho are found ou tho streets every
evening smiling at the boys and making
"mushes" generally bring disgrace to their
parents and gain for themselves the repu
tation of being disreputable characters.
If the practice is commenced In tender
years and followed up disrepute is almost
inevitable. When a girl has once lust her
reputation by such practice, ed'tiiough
her virtuu bo untainted, yet sho w ill cver
after bo ostraci.od from good sil-icty. Af

years ami becomes noted as a gadder, par

The llli..ard blames the Franklin News
man of taking in tho Conueaiilvillo fair
and tlio re being "taken in" by a farmer
boy in u culo lashiou which tho news de
scribes as followes : "At the Coiiiieautvillu
lair last week a farmer lad worked a trick
that discounts the Heathen Chinee. He
was selling "cold tea," and did it with a
peculiar wink. Ho only had I wo or three
pint and halt pint bottles ill his pocket at
a timo. Ho "taxed" 7") cents per pint, aud
utter getting his cash ho slid the bottle in
to Ihe purchaser's pocket very adroitly
for an honest farmer boy. The supply
caiuu from a house mar tho grounds,
where lived un honest farmer mid his w ife.
The old lady tilled the bottles, but thsro
was no hcctiliur wink tohereve. The bnr
w ho sold the cold tea had Ihe wink, and
It was the wink that Ihe dry customer
bought, for the tmttles contained nothing
tmt real, genuine cold tea. It was amus
ing to see the sly customers get Into the
stalls In groups and go against a Isittle nf
that "cold tea." There was a slcklv at
tempt at hilarity as they cme away. It
w as one of the features of Ihe fair to watch
the "cold ten" parties assemble In stalls
aud under sheds ami see them break, up."
