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.

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.

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

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

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."
