The Oil City Blizzard was four

snows no signs or having spent its

and vigor with each succeeding year,
and wherever it goes it is as welcome
as the flowers of May.

There is seurcely a newspaper in
the country but what has sotuethiug
to say about tho cheapness of pota
toes on tbe market. In fact they are
a drug; caunot be disposed of at any
price. It is a matter greatly to be
regretted, as it will have a tendency
to restrain farmers from planting the
usual quantity this season, and tbe
consequence will be that next spring
they will be as correspondingly hig
as they are low in price this season
Farmers should plant the usual quau
tity as the yield may uot be so proli
fio as it was last year. McKean

no doubt be practically suspended

attendance at the ceremonies.

Pa. After his contract had expired
he engaged in farming for some time,
and in 1875 was elected to tbe office
of SherifTof Forest county, and re
moved to Tionesta. In 1878 he was
elected tj the office of Prothonotary,
Recorder, Ac, and was re-elected to
this office in 1881. He became a res-
dent of Kellettville not lone afier
this, where be had a contract of stock
ing the Salmon Creek Lumber Mills,
aud where he engaged in the mercan
tile business for a lime. Then he re
turned to Tionesta, and from here he

some ways, but much worse iu other
respects. From this time he failed

citizen, and an efficient aud deserva
bly popular official when he held of
fice. In bis life-time he bad bad em
ployed to work for him at various
times a great many men, and one of
