But have a good time while you can, for it is a matter of only a few short years until you will have to buckle on the harness of toil and "hustle" for yourselves. Now is the time, if you can only realize it, that you really enjoy life. This is institute week and our town is wholly in the hands of the dashing "school-mam." While For est county does not boast of quite so large a number of teachers as some of the surrounding counties, we are of the opinion that for good looks, winning ways and decided ability, our instructors of the young Ameri can mind can bold tbeir own with any county in Western Pennsylvania. B. C. Newland, John Young Bod John Altmyer, of Sbarpsburg, who bad been up io ForeBt county on a bunting trip, came down from there at noon to-day with a fine string of game, of which there were seventy- two pieces, including grouse, hares, rabbits, black and gray squirrels and a live red fox. At the station the string was viewed with longiog eyes by some of our local hunters. Blit- tori. Our merchants are making some very creditable displays of holiday goods and we should think that the most fastidious purchaser ought to, without difficulty, be able to select presents for both old and young. Always patronize the home mer chant during the holidays as well as all other seasons of the year and thereby encourage them to keep a first-class assortment of goods and give them to you at reasonable pi ices. According to invitations re ceived by friends of the family here, the marriage of Miss Emma L., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hill ings, took place last evening in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Hill ings, W. Va., where the family now reside. The lucky groom was Mr. Howard C. Shaffer, who is to be con gratulated ou bis good judgment iu selecting a life-pratoer. Our best wishes to the happy young couple. The Tilueville World bss changed proprietorship, Mrs. Trues dell, wife nf the late proprietor, hav ing disposed of ber interest in tbe plaot to Messrs. Izaot & Herbert, two practical printers and good all-round newspaper men. Mr. F. F. Murray, who bas so ably edited that journal for the past year, will still be con nected to some extent with the paper, we are glad to note, and hope be may always find it as pleasant to himself to remain in the editorial harness hereabout as it is to bis editorial bretbero. We could scarcely spare Bro. Murray. Wbat is tbe matter with our young people? Why don't they get together and be more sociable? Here it is the middle of the winter and we have not bad a borne entertainment of any kind. Amateur theatricals are now io season and it bas been demon strated by past experience that we have sufficient local talent to get up ao excellent performance if some one would urge the matter a little. In view of the fact that we have no opera bouse we caooot expect pro fessional talent to come bere, aod if we have any amusement of this sort our young people must furnish it themselves. Now let some of our young people's societies get to work aod get up a good show. Such an eutertaioment would prove instruc tive to our young people and help tbem to pass away the long winter evenings, and would be financially beneficial to some of our worthy charitable institutions. Mrs. Harry A. Burt died at her borne in Neillsburg, this county, Deo 7, 1694, aged 59 years, 4 months and 21 days. She had been a sufferer for a long time from heart trouble, which was the cbubo of ber death. She is survived by husband and five children, all grown. The funeral was conducted at the Neillsburg church, by Rev. Mr. Cunningham on tbe 11th inBt. The family formerly resided in Tionesta, where the deceas ed is favorably remembered by a number of our older citizens. The Central House formally changed hands onWednesday last, Mr. C. F. Weaver, assuming tbe pro prietorship. During tbe year that Mr. Puffin berg occupied the hotel be built ap ao enviable reputation for this already popular hostelry, and as his successor is a hotel raau of many years' experience, aod comes among us with a good reputation as sacb, the popularity and reputation of the Central will scarcely be allowed to suffer. Beet wishes for success to both the new and the retiring laud lord. Tbe company organizing at West Hickory for tbe purpose of supplying that town and East Hick ory with gas, has secured tbe Watson territory in tbe edge of Warren coun ty, and will have an abundance of gas at tbeir disposal. Tbeir lease embraces tbe famous gas well which bas been "blowing off"' at a tremen dous rate for tbe past three or four years, and contains some 700 acres. The new company will probably be in operation inside of two months, depending on the state of the wea ther. Here he is I The prizs porker of this or aoy other season, or this or aoy other county in the State, so far SB we have beard of, at any rate. He was tbe property of veteran Jonathan Albaugh, of Hickory township, and was slaughtered on tbe 11th day of Deo , 1894. Tbe hog was 20 months old and weighed seven hundred and twenty-seven (727) pounds. This is no fake for six good nighbors of Mr. Albaugh bear witness to his state ment. Nor is there any use asking "who can beat it," for we don't think it can be did. - - For ten years the desk calendar issued by tbe Pope Manufacturiog Company has held a unique place among business helpers. Each daily leaf during that time has taught its quiet lesson of the value of better roads aod outdoor exercise, and es pecially tbe benefits of bicycling. The calendar for 1895, which is just issued, is even brighter than its pre decebsors in appearance, as clever artists have added dainty silhouette and sketch to the usual wise and witty contributions that have hereto fore given this popular calendar its charm. It can be bad for five 2-cent stamps from tbe Pope Manufacturiug Company, Hartford, Conn., or from aoy Columbia bicycle agency. "Bill" Steen, the irrepressible Bill, bas had a portion of bis family history pretty thoroughly aired through the local press of this part of the state; but we are inclined to believe that it was not intentional on Bill's part that these stories should be published. The story of his be ing tbe father of twenty children, and bis war record as origiualiy publish ed iu the Derrick are too conservative to have come from Bill's owo narra tion of these matters. If tbe Derrick will get Bill to playing tbe "Arkin saw Traveler" and telling yarns, it can get enough family history at one sitting to fill an eight page extra. And as to war record history con tains nothing like it. Tbe last time we saw Bill, he related one of bis very narrow escapes that duriug the battle of Gettysburg he was shot iu the back of tbe neck, the ball going around his neck and coming out of the same bole. A oew maxim which be said he bad recently adopted was: "If uuy roan owes me, I want my pay ; but if I owe anyone I'll be easy with 'em." One of Bill' peculiarities which he frequently refers to, is, that be cannot tell a lie. Pleasaniville Record. Resolutions of Condolence. Whereas, Our sister worker, Mrs. W, J.

Lucliui Shaw came homo a few days ago from the pine woods at Mayburg, whore he was working.

Henry Gioce recolved a telegram on Tuesday that his father, who resides at Shlpponvllle, was very sick, and that If Henry wanted to see him alive to come immediately. Mr. Groce went down and found his father, who is an octlgenarian, feeling as well as he could possibly feel for one of his age, and that instead of be ing sick it was a son's child that was ou the sick list. With what little water tbe rain made in tho creek and the assistance of a pond fresh trom Fools creek, Jim Cooper Btarted three or four creek rafts on Thurs day. The water proved too low, and the rafts were stranded on the Mayburg rip plo, but on tho next day a larger bracket was turned loose and the rafts started and wore run without incident to Ne braska, where they were loft. The first shipment of leather over tbe Tionesta Creek R. R. was made on Fri day. The car ran off the track at New town, but was easily put on again. The engine has been up every day, for the post week, bringing up bark and hides and taking back leather. The tools have been fished out of the Hurd 4 Davenport well, and the Band will be struck about Tuesday. Tbe own ers look for a good well and if it does not flow it will be rigged up for a pumper. Several of the citizens are striving to se cure the job of pumping should the well require It. The drilling in of the well is looked for with interest and should it prove a good flowing well Kellettville will enjoy a little oil boom. j Mr. Hennings was down from Ball town the other day and gave notice that their gas would be shut off after January 1st.

One of tho most remarkable cases of extraordinary musical talent In a child Is that of Carrie Marie Edwards, the ba by pianist, now in Chicago. Carrie is not yet 7 years old and executes on the piano with skill and delicacy the most in tricate of musical compositions. When but 4 years old she played Mendelssohn's wedding march at a concert. George Wallace Delamator, formerly of Meadville, and late candidate for Gov ernor, who W6nt to Seattle to begin life again, is making a great effort now to get one-fifth of an estate worth 1,'KX),000, tells the Scranton Times. This will be his foe as an attorney. The estate in volved is that of Benjamin Kenton, at one time a partner of Adam Forepaugh. Joseph Addison, the great English author, more than two hundred years ago penned the following: "I never knew an early rising, hard woiking, prudent thai., Cr.ref,'l of his earnings, and strictly honest, who complained of bad luck. A good character, good habits and Iron Industry are impregnable to. all tbe assaults of all the 111 luck that fools never dreamed of." To talk through a human body, or a row of human bodios, for the matter of that, is one of the weirdest of the electri cians feats says Electricity. If a tele phone wire be severed and the two ends be held by a person one in each hand not far apart, it is possible for two individ uals to carry on a conversation through the body of the medium as read ily and distinctly as though the line had been properly connected. A man steals a horse, sells it to an in nocent party, who buys it in good faith. The owner comes, takes away the horse, and the man who has bought it is a loser to the extent of the purchase price. A knave procures a farmer's signilurn to a paper pu porting to be an agency contract for tbe sale of some machine By tearing off a part of it, the remainder with the signiture becomes a promissory note. Rascal No. 1 sells it to Rascal No. 2 and the latter sues to recover. The courts de cide that the farmer must pay tho "in nocent" bolder of the fraud-tainted pa per. Is there anything out of joint in those cases? Here are some measures worth fram ing to hang in your kitchen: Four tea spoonfuls of liquid equal one tabiospoon full. One pint of liquid equals one pound. Two gills of liquid equal one cup or one half a pint. Two round tea spoonfuls of flour equal one ounce. Four cups of bread flour equal one quart, or one pound. One cup of butter equals one-half pound. One pint of butter equals one pound. One tablo spoonful of butter equals one ounce. Butter size of an egg equals two ounces. Ton eggs equal one pound. Two cups of granulated sugar equal one pound. Two and a half cups of powdered sugar equal one pound. Ex. Major J. G.

According to Sec. 43.1, Postal Law Reg ulations, loungers or disorderly persons are not permitted in post-otlire. A post-master must not allow his post-of-fioe to become the resort for loungers or disorderly persons, or the scene of dis putes or controversy and when ever ne cessary he should invoke the aid of civil authorities to expel violators of this rule. He is also required to keep his postotllce at all times in such a clean and orderly condition that it may be visited by wo men and children and others without im propriety or embarrassment.
