A. R. Post. He decclared that hereafter the Cath olic church must be considered to he in full harmony with the Graod Army ot the Kepublic. liishops or priests who teach their people other- ise will volate the true intentions of Catholicism. Archbishop Ryan said that he was fully aware of the impor tance of his utterance, but he had re ceived his authority direct from the Pope himself. The Graod Aimy is ot to be regarded as secret society n any sense. Mr. and Mrs. Enos Blnsser, nf Golioza, tbis county, have been lied to undergo great affliction within the past ten days. On Sun- ay, Deo. 8th, their eldest daughter, Lydia, a roost charming little lady bout thirteen years of age died from o attack of diphtheria.

The community is greatly alarmed over tbis sudden aud enexplicahle appear rnce of diphtheria io its midrt, and the school at that place has been closed for the present. -Anthrax, that dangerous and fa- al cattle disease, says tbe Tidioute Newt, has shown up in this vicinity and great care should be observed by 11 persons who use or sell milk that heir stock is not affected. If lumps how in the animal's body or it goes lame, or even shows any indisposition, isolate it from the rest as it is con tagious, and closely watch every symptom. If tbe disease developes kill and bury deep the animal. Above all do not use or dispose of to others the milk from any doubtful cow as it will be little short nf mur- ler. Those who have the Encyclo pedia Britlaouica can fiud anthrax succinctly and plaiuly described. At a special term of court held o Jefferson couoty last week (he case of Fenn vs. Dickey and others was tried. The plaintiff's claim was for compensation for services alleged to have been rendered io 1886, io the sale of a large tract nf land in For est couoty. Plaintiff alleged that he h d effected a sale of these lands for $400,000, under an agreement with the defendants, for which service he was to receive 5 per cent, of the pur chase money. The jury gave him the full amount of his claim, with inter est. This verdict, tor 831,163 H9, is the largest cash verdict ever reudered in Jeffersou couoty. Tbe case will probably go to the supreme court. Brookville Democrat. Death of Jo!;n Peterson. The following letter to the Repub lican, dated l'aimer, wasn., uec. 10th, 1895, explains itself: "It'becouies my painful duty to in form you of the death of tbe most generous aud kind-hearted man l have ever known, to which his many old friends in Forest couoty will at test. "John Peterson's greatest fault was his generosity. He died io the bar oess, full of bueiness, running two general merchandise stores, Thursday evening, Dec. 5, 1895. He was at tending to business al his Kingly Store, when about 10 o'clock he felt badly aod seemed to realize that his time bad come. He sat a few mo ments in a chair, then threw himself upon the bed and expired almost im mediately. He leaves a widow, his daughters, Mrs. F. D. Wright and Mrs P. O Skayen, both of Palmer, Wash., hia sons John Peterson Jr., of Tacoraa, and A. W. Peterson, Frankfort Springs, Pa. Mr. Peter son was 66 years of age aod an old soldier. Tbe interment was in Oak wood cemetery, South Tacnma. The funeral services were couducted un der the auspices of Caster Post, G. A. R , of Tacnma." To his many former Forest couuty frieuds the above news will come with retrrel aud tad oess. His kindness of heart and jolly good nature, always tbe same pleasant geulleman, made him friends wherever he was known. Mr. Peterson left tbis county about ten years ago, localiog in Palmer, Washington state, where he bad built up a prosperous general merchandis ing business, aud soon won the high esteem of the community io which he bad taken up bis abode. He was bom in Bremin, Germany, and wheu he was six months old his parents emmigrated to America, set tling in Pittsburg, Pa., where Joho grew up and learned the trade of to bacconist. He served his couutry in the war and was honorably dis charged from service as 1st Lieul. Co E, 177lb Reg't.

Miles & Aimstroog tf NEWSY NOTES. A Cumberlain coonty farmer who has some standing as a prophet predicts the severest winter we have had In twenty years. Many localities in the state are still uflerlng for want of crater. If it should freeze up before more rain falls, and con siderable more, the inconvenience oc casioned would be very serious. Crsndall A Hatch, of Brorton, made urlng tho season of 1895, 703,700 grape baskets and purchased to (ill orders, 113,- 800 baskets making a total of 912,500. They paid in wages from February 1 to November 1, '95, f6,233. Physicians of Wyoming county are greatly Duzzled over the peculiar case of Miss Pearl Barton, aged twenty years, of Wilkesbarre, who has been asleep con tinuously since November 28 and who hows no sign of awakening. Mrs. George Robinson, of Llnesville, Crawford county, dropped a pin In one of her ears as she was in the act of re lieving a tickling. All efforts to And the pin have failed and the strange part of it is that there is no pain or sensation of its being in the ear. The Altoona Times tells that a young lady went Into a Mifflintown store, se lected a piece of cloth and asked what it was worth. "Four kisses per yard," said the gallant clerk. Like Harry Hayward, she stood pat and replied that she would take four yards. The cloth was cut oft. nicely wrapped up and banded to tbe fair purchaser, wLo received it with a smile and said : "Send tbe bill around to my grand-mother; she will settle It." Harry Hayward, the murderer of Cath erine Ging, was banged in Minneapolis on the tlth inst., at 2;05 in tho morning. The murderer went to tbe gallows with a laugh on bis lips, and went down with the trap Just as be ottered the words lightly: "Let her go, Megardou." Tbe command was directed to tbe chief dep uty. Prior to the execution the con demned man maintained tbe nerve aud bravado which bos made him infamous. For over a year, says the Renovo News, the mighty nimrods of Beech Creek township have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity of capturing what was called the "bull of the woods." which animal bad been often seen, but which had safely escaped the many shots that bad been sent after him. It remained for Robert Gunsailus to bring the animal down, wb'ch be did several days ago. The buck weighed 225 pounds. This is not such a monster as it might be. A tew years ago deer of that size were quite common in these parts. Tbe latest case of suspended animation is reported from Wilkesbarre, Pa., where, as the undertakers were about to embalm tbe body of a woman, she awak ened and shrieked, to tbe natural dismay of tbe embalmers. Only the fact that burial bad been delayed to await the ar rival of a brother, thus rendering em balming advisable, prevented a prema ture interment. Reports of similar cases are extremely rare, considering the vast daily number of burials, but even one is enough to cause disquietude and the wish that an infallible test of death be made obligatory on the attending pby sycian. Here is a composition about "Boys," written by a little girl and published in one of our exchanges : "The boy is not an animal, yet they can be beard a con siderable distance. When s boy hollers, be opens his big mouth like Irogs, but girls hold their tongue till they are spoke to, and then they auswer respec table and tell just bow it wss. A boy thinks himself clever because be can wade where It Is deep, but God made the dry land for every living thing and rested on tbe seventh day. When the boy grows up, he is called a husband, and then be stops wading and stays out niitbts. but a grew up girl is a widow and keeps bouse." Under a decision of tbe Supreme Court the modern roller process, used in many flouring mills in the count y, has been declared an infringement on a pat ent issued to one Samuel M. Bruna in 1878. Liter be assigned it to II. B. and L. B. Keiper, of Lancaster, who brought suit to recover damages for tbe infringe ment. Tbe court has ruled that every mill nsing tbe process must pay an in demnity of f 100. Millers who have in use tbis process are now having notices served upon them to pay this sura. A representative of tbe firm of D. Elllis fc Son informs us that the decision was ob tained by default and that it will go bock to the Supreme Court backed by the va rious States Millers Association. Indi ana Messenger. The rc ent trial of Joseph Buzzard and his conviction in Mongomery county courts on charges of systematic burglary carried on in a string of towns alon . the North Pen n Road, practically disposos of the Buzzard family and deprives the Welsh Mountain section of Lancaster of a profitable summer attraction. All of Joe's brothers are now in tho peniten tiary. His family connections otherwise disappeared soon alter Abe Buzzard, the late evangelist, was convicted of a series of robberies committed while be was lecturing before interested audiences on the errors of his liie, and alter a period of 20 years tbe well-known terrors to law and order in the farming districts of Berks, Chester and Lancaster, have been signally removed. There have beeu especially pertinent reatton.1 for thanks giving this year. Philadelphia Times. The Brookville Jeflersoniun Democrat prints the following: Will Kelso says bis little girl came home from schist! the other day saying: "Papa, I can tell you how Benezetie, Elk county, got its name." "Well let us her it," said Will. And the little gill told her story as fol lows: "Long ago, when the Indians were still there, a white family lived where the town now stands. They had a little boy, named 'Bennie.' And Bennie went out into lh woods one day and got hwt. Thev hunted him for quite a while, but couldn't find bim. And the Indians turned out to help tHem bunt. But the child could not be found. One Indian came in, after searching in vain for the boy, and looking very sad, said to the father and mother : 'Beunie's et (eaten) bear et bim.' And from repeating what the Indian said, the place came to be called Benezette."
