What has beeu perhaps the great est general drouth this country has ever known was broken, so far as this latitude was concerned, on Saturday last, when rain fell in copious showers during the greater portion of tbe day. On Monday the rain became general, and we might say for the eastern slates the drouth is at an end. On Thursday last, Sept. 6, 1894, a low water mark was chiseled on tbe east Bide of the middle pier of the river bridge, which is estimated to be low er by 6 to 8 inches than tbe water has ever been at this place. J. D. W. Reck, Reed Cassett and Editor Muse made the scribe that will tell to fu ture generations the tale of dry weather and low water. Benjamin May, who came to this section with bis parents 72 years ago, says he nev er saw the Allegheny river so low as it was last week. Judge J. G. Dale, who began piloting rafts down the Allegheny uearly 50 years ago, says tbe same. Squire W. W. Thomas, who lumbered on Tionesta creek dur- iug the drouth of 1854, thinks the water was at least as low at that time, if not lower.

I he announcement that rain in terfered with the carryiug out ot any project, seems strange, in tbe light of the recent great dry spell, but such was the case with two games of base ball which tbe Tionesta nine bad scheduled for Saturday and Monday of the past week. On Saturday tbe Tidioute team came down, but game only just begun, when a good dash of raiu stopped proceedings. On Mon day our boys went up to Marieoville, but the almost incessant rain made it impossible to play. The Marienville boys are booked for a game bere next Saturday, and doubtless our base ball enthusiasts will be treated to some good sport in that line. Bruce Crawford 8 bat blowed in to the river yesterday while he was at work on tbe barges, and there being no boat handy he started to wade af ter it. The wind carried the "beaver" out to where the water was neck deep nd then some. But Bruce was de termined to have that hat aud kept right on after it. When he turned to come back be found his long rubber boots too much of a load to swim with, and after considerable strug gling be was compelled to make an emphatic request for assistance. Ly man Cook and Reed Cassett quickly stripped aud waded out to bis relief, and they didn t get ibere any too soon, for Bruce was about "tuokered" before he thought to "boiler." vere in that couuty. At any rate tbe drouth of 1894 will go down as one of tbe most severe in our country's history, aud it may be that no one dow living will witness its equal. What we need here is an official water guage, and we hope the Gov ernmeut authorities in charge of river improvements will make tbe proper recommendation for such conven ience. It would be a source of great benefit to our lumbermen and others having occasiou to utilize the rive for transporting their wares. Itwk City and Bradford, Sunday, Sep tember 23d. The W. JN. I . & V.

Last Sunday afternoon James Moore and Elliott Rogers, each aged about 15 years, and sons, respective ly, ot Jt-nerson Moore and James Rogers, who reside near Gilfoyle, Jeoks township, were out iu tbe woods having with tbem au old gun loaded with bird shot. The gun was in the hands of young Rogers, who bad one hand near tbe end of the gun with his left thumb over tbe muzzle, ann the other band near the lock or hammer. Young Moore was stand ing about eight loet away, and in range ot tbe gun. io some manner the guu was discharged, blowing tbe The nice rain storm of Saturday was source of pleasure to the many people of this vicinity. The raiu came down iu way it has not done in these parts for several months. All tin dust was washed from the roads and traveling is much better but tho roads are rougher than they were. Plowing can be In dulged in now and the farmers in tlii section as well as elsewhere will profit by it, despite the fact that a few say that the rain came too late and who really appear to be vexed becauso we did not get rai sooner.

Andrews drove over to Titusville on last Tuesday, returning homo on Wednesday. Charley Bauer has rented Wm. Tobey' Having just returned from a two weeks' outing on the beautiful shores of Chautauqua 1 am impelled to give a brief outline of the trip. This being our fifth year at camping we have acquired some necessary knowledge of what not to take, First, as in many other ways of enjoy ment, "anticipation" is almost as enjoya ble as the reality. We plan for this out ing throughout the year, and many a fine pickeral do we book and successfully land during the fifty weeks of prepara tion. After much planning and saving we finally got started for the "Promised Land" overland, at the early liourot 1:30 m., on Friday the 17th of August, Tho reason for starting at stfch an early hour was to escape the heat and dust of day. Very little sleep visited our eyes that night. The moon was full, tbe night cool and with every available inch of space filled with boxes, bundles, grips cans, and a family of six, the platform spring wagon fairly groaned as Eliza headed northward. According to a pre arranged plan we stopped in front of the residence of friend Craft and gave them a parting seranado in our best style of "Steal Away." A white robed figure waved the farios adiou, and we were off. Tho heavy fog reudered overcoats and wraps decidedly comfortable and it is safe to say that no one suffered with heat during that trip. Arrived at Jamestown at 8 a. m., und were joined by Miss Nel lie, who Is attending tho Business Col lege there, and our dear old father who has done so much to make our camp a success. Part of our company here took the C. L. R. R. for camp. The balance driving. Where we arrived in good con dition fresh as a rose after a drive of 29 miles with a load of ten hundred, at 11 a, m. e had two tents which we own, one 12x14 with a fly, the other 9x12. Soon had tents up with good board floors with the My stretched between, over a space of 12x12 for a kitchen. Five straw ticks filled, everything unpacked and in hlmpe by evening. Through the kind ness of the aforesaid fathor we bad a cook stove, besides our three wick oil stove, six chairs, two bedsteads; tables and benches of a previous year's camp. Of the fishing I will say but little for as you will see further on I am strictly truthful and have the papers to prove it. Wo trolled for pickeral mornings and evenings. Swung in hammocks and swings or reclined on sheep skins and robos in the shade during the heat of the day ; roasted corn and played games, aud rendered camp generally hideous around a roaring camp fire evenings ; made pea nut candy with lake flies iu place of pea nuts ; went to bed and rose early, with the pink flush of health on our cheeks, and enjoyed ourselves generally. Made fre quent aud successful excursions into the country tor provisions, as "i-.llza ' was kept tied to a convenient troe ready for use. Our tablo was woll supplied Among other things used 10 lbs. bacon, 1 bit. potutoes, 7 lbs. honey, 7 spring chickens, 13 doz. eggs, frogs, squirrels. high holders, and one party ate a king fisher, but don't want any more; tea, cof fee, bread and butter iu profusion ; milk at 4 cU per qt. Iu fact, lived so high that one party has only recovered by two days fustiug and a bottle of hoineocpathio Nux. Vom. We entertained Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Squire and son of N. Y week j Mrs. Lizzie Forry fc son of War ren, a week ; Miss Ilattie MuCullough o Bean Farm, and Miss Anna Craft and cousin of Warren, two days; Master Harold George of Warren four days. The only adventure of importune) taking place, was the two boys getting lost in fog while trolling aud they finally found themselves and land half a mile from Celeron and six miles from camp. The most excitement was occasioned by the spoctaclo of the wholo outfit bathing with bathing suits, "Anti Fat" aud "Anti Lean" down to the little tots of fuu years. Such spluttoring, such pulling down of skirts and pulling up of trous ors. The only thing lacking was a kodac to illustrate the fun. Owing to the dry season or some other cause tho tlshin was poor. We only suecoded in e-alc-bin two pickeral a 5 and tt pounder, although we saw a 10 and a l(i pounder caught. We broke camp Thursday morning aud reached home safely a 4 p. in. On the whole wo consider tho outing a decided success, and while it Is not a rest, it is change which is prehaps as beneficial and the coxt to us was very moderate iu deed. Lest any of my statements may seem fiMhy, I uppond a copy of a paper presuu tod to uie by one ot our party as a reward The fastest pacing record is now 2:02, which remarkable time was made at In dianapolis on the 6th inst., by Roboit J. His competitor, Joe Fitchon, was one fourth second behind him, making the mile in 2:022. These records smash nil previous effort on the race course. John Slater, the lumberman of Thomp son station, above Tidioute, was so ser iously injured by being thrown from the top of a box freight car on Wednesday afternoon last, that he died on Thursday evening. His right leg was broken in two places, and his left shoulder was also broken, but internal injuries caused his death, he having fallen between the rails and was doubled up and pushed along under the truck. A watchmaker of Punxsutawnoy, Pa., has invented a motor for bicycles and tri cycles. It is a barrel spring, with sprock et and ratchet wheels, much like the mo tor spring of a watch, and is so arranged that it can be wound up, either by hand or by the motion of tho wheols in going down bill. Tho motor is designed to as sist the rider in going up hill, aud may be used or not at the will of the rider, by a simple and easy method of changing the gearing. Chestnut burrs have grown large enough now to show that there Is the promise of a great crop hereabouts, says the West Chester Republican. "They dot the trees thickly with vivid, tender green, as of spring, and Boem to be about two-thirds full sizo. Whetlior or not they will come to healthy maturity do ponds upon tho drought and the worms." Tho crop In this locality has been stunted by the drouth, so that there will bo fow in the market this year, we fear. The giant wild man of Potter County is said to have been captured by a posse of nearly 100 men. Tho man was first discovered by some women while berry ing. Ho was not afraid of women but would floe at the presonce of man. Won derful stories are told about the marvel ous strength of the captured man. He is said to be nearly seven feet in height and his body is covered with long hair, Flowing locks, two feet in length, hang down his back and his hands are said to resemble long bird-like claws. The scene of his capture is laid near West field. On the Columbia (old Storey) farm, near Oil City, the Hi Holt woll No. 1 has recently been cleaned out and is making from 8 to 10 bills, a day. This well was drilled over 34 years ago and has been producing ever since. The Storey farm of 500 acres has produced about 10,000,000 bbls. of oil, and the Columbia Company have paid dividends amounting to over (1,000,000. Tho farm is at present the property of R. Q. Lambertou, of this ci ty, and C. E. Cooper of Oil City, who have drilled several new wells aud clean ed out some of tho old ones. Franklin News. The malinger of the Terain, N. Y. county Grape Growers' Association makes an estimate of tho grapo product. about Lako Erie, iu central New York and along the Hudson river, which, while astonishing in the large figures involved is yet considorod very conservative. He estimates tho entire crop at S,200cui loads. Each car contains an average of 3,0(10 baskets, making the total crop amount to 24,600,000 baskets, or 196,800,000 pounds. The value of this crop taking last years prices will be $3,444,000. It is estimated that 4,000 cars will be shipped wost ; 3,350 -.ars east, aud 850 cars south. One of the astonishing features of this crop is that it Is all raised on a fow acres over three townships, and shows what may be ac complished by thorough aud systematic cultivation of the ground. At the opening of Court iu Centre county recently when the constables made their returns, Judge Furst Instruc ted thoin that under an act of the Legis lature they must dostroy or cause to be destroyed all Canada thistles growing on the public roads aud lands, or farms, iu the county, the Court stating at the same time that these thistles were spreading all over the country, and boroic meas ures should be used for their extermina tion. What iu truo of Centre county is applicable to many other counties. Tho Canada thistle has gotten quite a start in many townships in this county, brought here years since iu the feed imported by our lumbermen, and from tho choppiugs in the wooiIk they have at length com menced to invade our agricultural hinds, and if not chocked will at au early date become a terrible nuisance. Tho law im poses a lino of $50.00 on tho constables who nogle. t their duty, aud it is high lime that their attonliou wax called to this requirement of thorn, Ex.
