Here are a few points in a little
drama recently enacted, says the
Bradford Era. A bad drummer
handsome and attractive, comes to
Bradford. He sees a pretty girl on
the street. A flirtation begins which
ends in the usual way. Tbe girl is
lured to a big town in New York
State and remains there for a time
with the commercial man. He skips
out. The foolish girl is left to grope
about in the shadows of a great city.

State Sup't of Public Instruc
tion Schaeffer has appointed Miss
Aggie Kerr, sister of the late County
Superintendent G. W. Kerr, to fill
the unexpired term as Superintendent
of schools of Forest County. No
belter selection could have been
made, as Miss Kerr is thoroughly ac
quainted with her brother's affairs
and cao take op the work left undone
by him better than any one we know
of. Mr. Scbaeffer is deserving of
much commendation for his wise se
lection. The Mead ville Tribuno says:
"June 27 of the present year will be
one of tbe greatest days Mead ville
will have seen in a number of years.
It occurs in tbe annual commence
ment week of Allegheny college, and
will witness tbe annual graduatory
exercises of that valuable institution.
It will also witness the annual reun
ion of the Nortbwt-stero association,
G. A. R., Department of Pennsylva
nia, and the presence io our city of
Governor William McKinley of Ohio,
and many other noted men of church
and State. It is estimated that if the
weather is pleasant there will be
20,000 visitors in Meadville on that
day."
An exchange says: "Did you
ever notice when a man drops a piece
of meat on the floor, no difference
how clean the floor may he, he gives
it a kick or lays it to one side. He
will never eat it. But let him drop
his plug of tobacco oo the street, and
no difference how dirty the stieet may
be, he will pick it op, give it a care
less wipe oo bis coat sleeve, or on the
bosom of bis pants, and then take a
chew from it with a keener relish than
ever. And did you ever notice tbat
a man will hardly ever drink out of a
cup of water that some one else has
been drinking from, but be will turn
op the same man's whisky flask and
gurgle it down without a thought oo
tbe matter."
What might have resulted in a
serious accident, but luckily did not,
occurred a few days ago about three
miles above town. Mr. Abe Hepler,
accompanied by an eight-year-old
boy, were attempting to ford the river
with a horse and wagon when they
unexpectedly got into a deep hole
and the water turned tbe wagon over
and threw the occupants into the
water, and as neither of tbem could
swim, tbeir situation, for a time,
looked serious. The boy clung to tbe
horse and Mr. Hepler to the wagon
until tbey floated about ten rods
down the river where tbe water was
shallow enough for them to wade
ashore. lhe horse was so badly
tangled up in the harness that it was
about two hours before be was res
cued, but all finally escaped with
nothing more than a good ducking.

the excellence of the cullinary prepra
t'ons, which shortly followed the meet
ing, arranged by one so well qualified to
supply them as tu good hostess ol the
oocasion.
Among the gu and landlord there
was a regular feast of reason and a flow
of soul, and, although none of the guests
were spriDg chickens, by any means, yet
they acted like boys. The host and guests
told their queerest stories, the past was
talked over and a little said about the
future. All enjoyed themselves and felt
it was good to be there.
Soon came the announcement that a
repast was ready and the guests, headed
as usual by Benj. May, made a break for
the dining room where the feast was pre
pared, at which all sat down and regaled
themselves. The two sons, J. T. and
Alex acted as wa rs In a manner that
showed they " In full sympathy with
their mother, the guests and the good
parent whose birthday all were celebrat
ing. After the good "itertainment all went
back to the parlor and sitting room,
whore Hon. S. H. Haslet, in a neat little
speech, presented an antique oak rocking
chair to Judge Dale, on which was a card
bearing the names of the donors G. W.
Bovard, A. B. Kelly, W. A. Grove, 8. H.
Haslet and Samuel D. Irwin. The
Judge made a characteristic reply to Mr.
Haslet's speech, which was well received.
After another pleasant hour spent, the
guests took their leave of the host and
hostess and congratulated again the wor
thy judge, each w'shing him and his
good wife many ppy years under a
good Providence.
This is not a proper place to give an ac
count of his long and useful life Bpace

to say that on Dec. 24, 1840, he married
Nancy, daughter of Hon. Alex Holeman,
raised four children Mrs. Belle Dewese
and Mrs. Jane C. Partridge, John T. and
Alex H. On Dec. 24, 1890, Judge and
Mrs. Dale celebrated their golden wed
ding, an event that occurs to but few in
tbis world, and of which an elaborate ac
count appeared in the press at the time.
