In answer to an inquiry from an assessor regarding the return of per sonal property fof assessment, tbe Auditor General of this State has in truded that life iusurance policies re required to be taxed at their slue at the time of the assessment.

Last Friday Dr. Arters admiu istered the anti-toxine remedy to Matthew McGarvey's daugbler Bes sie, who was very near death's door with diphtheria, and also to James Harvey's daughter Mary. As deaths bad occurred recently in each of the families, and as the parents were naturally alarmed, it was determiued to try the anti-toxine, all other rem edies having failed lo check ihe pro gress of the dread disease. Although it is yet too soou to determine what the outcome may be, the indications are favorable for recovery iu both cases. lilizzard. Ihe tramp nuisauce is getting worse and worse. It developed at the council meenting Monday night that Constable Huuter had penned up over sixty within ihe past two months, and that the droves were getting larger and more frequent as tbe winter progressed. A solution of tbe question as to whr.t should be done might be found iu a stern re fusal of all parties to provide any provender for the lazy lubbers. In counectiou with this method a pen with a good outfit of stone and Bledge hammers might be provided with profit to the borough. A "farmers' institute" is to be held in this county about tbe 23d of next March. The State Agricultural Department, re organised under the act passed last wiuter, will give sub stantial aid in making the institute a success, sending at least two speak ers, free of cost, to help along with the work. ' These institutes are now being held in different parts of the State, and it is the intention of the department to hold at least one in stitute in every coui ty, hoping there by to arouse new interest in farming pursuits and giving every possible aid to that Urge aud growing industry of our State. Every farmer in tbe county should arrange his business with a view In being present on this occasion.

The Oil City Blizzard, which al ways recognizes a good thing when it sees it, gives Tionesta a boom as a resort for those seeking healthy re creation. Ihe Republican lias in times paBt called attention to this feature of our beautifully situated town, but stories of this kind seem to bave greater weight when coming from outside or disinterested sources. The Blizzard strikes the keynote in tbe following article, and we hope some of our citizens niav act on its suggestion to throw out the proper inducements to attract pleasure seek ers to our borders : For twenty - years or mure tbe writer has occasionally cast bis op tics on a spot which is better adapted for a summer resort than many places that have become famous through thousands visiting them dur ing the but summer months of the year. The spot referred to is Tio nesta, situated about twenty miles above Oil City. The town is located in a valley and tbe surrouoning hills and valleys are as picturesque in the summer as any of the scenes iu Sunny Itily. Tbe Allegheuy rivet winds through the place and Tionesta Creek, along which the beauties of nature are simply charming, empties into the river at that point. Both bodies of water contain thousands of fish of the gamy order, such as bass, pike, salmon, pickerel, etc., and that fact alone ought to induce many to locate there while the thermometer ranges oear the 100 degree mark. Water in large quantities can be obtained from springs located on the surrounding hill, and some of them produce sulphur water, bo that the tastes of all who drink that fluid can be satisfied. Situated a ehort dis tance below the town it a good sized island, wh'ch could bo converted iu to a park or used as a place for ath letic sports. Game of all kinds abound in tbe forests thereabouts gray squirrels, birds of various de scriptions, rabbits, deer, catamounts, and anyone possessed with sufficient aand and a trusty rifle can nnce in a while track a bear and have a feast over its handsome carcass. Within hailing distance of the town are a dozen or more valleys, down each of which ripples a bablicg brook, where lovers of trout fishing could find any amount of pleasure. There is no reason why tbe citizeus of Tionesta should not take the. matter iu hand and throw out inducements to attract to their pleasant little villiage hun dreds, yea thousands, who have hith erto been compelled to spend tbeir vacations in Saratoga, Alaska, South America, Turkey and Oil City, in or der to keep cool and God enjoyment. Council Proceedings. Regular meeting of Council was called to order Monday evening by G. W. Robinson, Presideul, with Cuuncilmen Lanson, Davis and Clark present.

The Coun cil held a lengthy ditcussiou on the tramp questiou, 40 tramps a mouth seemed to them as being too many. While no action was taken, it seemed to be the sense of the Council that Ihe citizens cuuld do as much or more to abate the nuisance by re losing to feed the oumerous, well dressed, robust and hearty men beg ging for smoothing to eat.

Miles & Armstrong tf. East Hickory. The "Maids of Greece," as rendered by the young ladies of Hickory, on Satur day evening, was a complete success. The musio was excellent. Evory part was acted perfectly, although they had but about a week of practice. Especially was Miss Green's reciting very excellent and amusing. Mrs. Tremaine and family left last week to join her husband in the lower oil field. An entertainment at the Church Hill school bouse last Wednesday evening, was excollont. The song by the "Petur nlp Ridge Choir," and "Robbing tbe Male," were especially very laughable. Mr. Clayton Church, a former East Hickory boy, was in town last week. Miss Blancho Keister Is at Marienville at present. Geo. Nurss and family are visiting friends at Hydetown now. Wo are sorrv to note the death of Jo siah Mealy of Beaver Valley, on Thurs day last.

He lived about half an hour after he arrived there. His re mains were Interred in the East Hickory cemetery. The mill is expected to start up about Wednesday. Mrs. Win. Stiles went to New York to stay until alter tbe holidays. A series of revival meetings will com mence next Thursday evening In the M. E. church at this place. Pedro. Former Forest Co. Hoy Honored. It will be a gratification to those who knew the gentleman while he resides in Forest county, to learn that J. E. Frost Esq., formerly of Pigeou, has been highly honored by tbe Governor of the Stale of Wash ington, in the appointment to the re sponsible position of Stale Auditor, or what would be known in Pennsyl vania as Auditor-General. Mr. Frost is a nephew of W. H. Frost, well known to the majority of our citizens, and who formerly lumbered at Pigeon. It was there, while in the employ of his uncle, that the young man met and won for his bride Miss Maude L. Fox, the accomplished daughter of our old frieod C. F. Fox, the marriage taking place in June, 1887. In 1889 they migrated to the Pacific coast, where it seems his worth as a man was at once recog nized by the people, who almost from the start honored him by election to office. His friends in this section recoguize the fact that a fair measure of bis success is due to the aid and good couusel of his young wife. Mr. Frost is a staunch Republican and cast his first vote iu Forest county, and as a production of our county we all feel a pride at his advancement. Tha following is taken from the Ellensburg, Wash., Capital of a re ceut dale : "Of course Mr. Frost's many friends here are delighted, and the satisfaction will be equally great all over the county, In every precinct of which he la well known. Il goes without saying that the people here have every confidence In Mr. Frost's ability to discharge the duties of the ollice satisfactorily. As auditor of Kittitas county for four years he made a magnificent record, and during bia en tire enoumbeney he retained the esteem of the people, regardless of party, aud he earned it by his sterling integrity, his uniform courtesy, and bia unswerving devotion to the interests of the people who honored htm and the general wel fare of the country. Governor McGraw can rest assured that be made no mistake In naming Mr. Fjost for this important position. On the other hand, the people of Ki'titas county feel sure that be will have every reason to feel proud of It, for Mr. Frost will be an honor and a cred I to the office so ably tilled by our la mented neighbor, Mr. Grimes. Mr. Frost made no effort himself to secure the appointment, and reluctantly allowed his friends to present bia name to the Governor. "J. E. Frost was born lu East Java, N Y., iu March, IStio, aud is consequently in his thirtieth year, and is a very young man to be called upou to fill this most responsible position. His life, up to tbe time he came here, did not differ mater ially from other boys, for be was com pelled to make hia way by bard work and cease loss effort. (Since be arrived in Ellensburg lu 1889, be lias been almost constantly close to the people. After the expiration of his second term as county auditor he associated himself with Mr, Ralph Kaullmuu in the practice of law, and the appointment found him with flattering prospects ahead, for the firm was a remarkably strong one. A short time ago he wai appointed major of the First Uatullion, an honorary position which now becomes vacant. The term of the state auditor runs until January, 1897. about thiiteen mouths, aud it is probable that Mr. Frost will not remove his family to Olyinpia for that length of time, nor will the In in or Kauniiian a Frost be dissolved, though lor that inter val Mr. Frost will not be au active mem ber."

Olas, who has recently as sumed the pastorate of the Free Method ist church of this place, write bis Im pressions ol Tionesta and bis new home, to his old friends through the Ridgwav Advocate, and from bis letter we cull the following: "On Sabbath morning I took my first trip over the mountains of Forest county, preaching at Newmansville, which is sev en long miles rrom here, at 11:00 a. m.; at German Hill, which Is eight miles from Newmansville at 3:00 p. m.; then to Tio nesta, six miles, to the place of begin ning to preach In the evening a distance of tweney-nne miles, and preaching three times, which I A-ill bave to do every other Habbath, and 1 am gaining In strength each day. We have on our charge, two churches and a parsonage free of debt. They are now repainting the parsonage, tn honor, I suppose, of the new preacher. The people of Tio nesta are very friendly, and gave us a cordial welcome. Even before we were settled quite a company came tn upon us, leaving baskets, bundles and hearty wishes that our stay among them might be of the pleasantest, "Tionesta is the county seat of Forest county, with a population of - about twelve hundred Inhabitants, located on the Allegheny river, twenty miles above Oil City, Pa. The Tionesta creek empties into tbe Allegheny river at this point, from which thousands of dollars worth of lumber passes through here each year, on its way to tbe lower mar kets. The public school, though perhaps not up to the Ridgwav high school, is an excellent school, and under tbe man agement of Prof. Rpear will surely be successful in all its branches. ' "We are well pleased with our new home, and should any of our Ridgway friends come through Tionesta we would be pleased to see them. Truly, we are thankful to Jesus, our elderer brother, for raising us up ao many kind friends wherever we go." SEWST S0TES. In New Castle, the other day, Miss El la Johnson was passing a horse at the edge of the sidewalk, and put out her hand to pat it. The animal seized her hand and clipped off one of her fingers. A recent dispatch lo tbe Bradford Era from Pittsburg says : "The Mawhinney gusher was a week old Tuesday night and its daily average has been more than 2,000 barrels, representing t money value of more than $20,000 iu seven days on an investment of 3,500, the cost of drill ing the well. The first well on the farm paid for Itself and returned tbe bonus money before the gusher was drilled. While the students of Chamberlain In stitute, Randolph, N. Y., were at suDper in the brick boarding hall at 6:30 Satur day evening Ore was discovered in the onpalo of the main building. The flames communicated .with tbe chapel and all were burned to the ground. Much of the chapel furnishings and goods of tbe students in the main buildings were saved. Many of the students had narrow escapes but no one received serious in- Jury. A dispatch was received by Wm. Dickey sometime during Tuesday, stat ing that the sawmill of Moore, Dickey A Kelso, at the mouth of Millstone, on the Clarion river, was burned Monday or Monday night. Tbe mill had not been running for about two weeks. Cause of fire not known. Loss not given. We did not learn whether any lumber was burned. Tbe mill was new, and a good one. Brookville Democrat. An exchange well says that "the gossip has made many a home a bell upm earth. Gossip has parted lovers who would be very bappy if it were not for gossip. One little misstep or one little indiscretion will cause gossip to arise with new strength and start on her mis sion. Her, did we say f We ought not to, for we have our male gossipers, and, as a rule, they are ten times more veno mous than the females. A good healthy man gossiper is aliout as mean and low and dangerous as the meanest thing on earth." The people of Cambridgeboro are sign- ing petitions to be forwarded lo the Postmaster General and the Erie man agement, praying that the name "Cam bridgeboro" be changed to "Cambridge Springs." This plaoe, like so many other places in this country, has no good reason for its name. In England tbe old town ia well entitled to its name, being located near a bridge over the river Cam, and not near a bridge over French Creek However Cambridge Hprings will do, though Gray Springs would be more strictly descriptive and appropriate Franklin News, The jurisdiction and authority of the teacher over the pupil Is neither limited by the school bouse walla nor the time the school is actually iu session.
