GRAND JUKOIls' REPORT.
The grand jury report that they have
acted upon live bills of indictment, of
which four were found true bills and one
not a true bill.
They also visited and inspected the
county buildings and found them in
proper condition.. Also Inspected the
county bridge crossing the river at Tio

They further recommend a wash stand

Probably tho largest ' run of bargos
and fiat boats ever made rom this place
is being made this week. There are about
forty barges and twenty-five flat boats,
and the scene about the river bridge has
been a busy one tor the past few days.
Tho amount of money involved in this
run alone is about fjO.OoO, wl.iijh goes to
show that tho boat building Industry in
this section is no small atl'air,iid is the
cause of tho distribution of quite a num
ber of dollars among our laboring men.
Quite an argument was held Wednes
day with reference to a number ef tame
rabbits which were offered for sale at the
Robinson it Poupenay meat market on
Washiegton street, it being h(Jd by sover
al persons that the bunnies came under
the game law and could not be sold any
more than wild rabbits. There might
possibly be a question if the rabbits had
been fully dressed so that they could not
be distinguished from wild ones, but as
they had their jackets on there ia no
chance for an argument. The law applies
only to wild rabbits aud was passed to
protect game, not domestic auimais.
Tituaville ITeruld. The whole argument
amounts to nothing for the law as to sale
applies only to deer, phesant, quail,
wild turkey aud woodcock, except as to
shipmont lrom State, This is prohibited
on all kinds of game.

and it would be well for all members of
school boards to be on their guard aguinst
those oily-tongued gentlemen. A seliome
of these importunate salesmen is to visit
the members of school boards at their
places of business, and attempt to securo
their signatures to schemes that contem
plate the payment of considerable sums
of money, which on fuller information
are found to be praoticully valueless; and
it sometimes occurs that fraud U
practiced in representing that members
of boards have approved of certaiu
schemes when the opposite was true.
The only sul'u method for school directors
to pursue is to do their business as a
board at regular meutiugs, when a quo
rum of members are present.

Tito Knbhit Opinions.
An Oil City man liberatod a number of
western bares near that town about two
years ago, and on of them, or one of
their progeny, was recently killed, the
only proof had that the animals have
been able to stand this climate. The same
gentleman proposes to import a number
of pairs of Mongolian pheasants. We
approve of the pheasants, but it is doubt
ful if the hares, in case their introduction
into this section proves a success, will
not become a nuisance, as tho rabbits
have been for years. Rabbits have de
stroyed more young fruit trees in this
section tnan tnoy are worth, twenty tunes
over, and the additional protection given
by the new game law was a serious blun
dor. Meadville Tribune.
What the Tribune savs may fit the
case for Meadville, but in this section the
Irutt trees do not sutler from tho en
croaebment of tho bunnies. It is quite
probable a united effort will be made
next summer by the sportsmen of this
vicinity to propagate game of various
Kiua in mis section. UU vny JJHzzara.
What the Blizzard says may fit the
case in Oil City, but in this section the
Tribune's conclusions come the closest.
Rabbits are a pest to iarmers aud others
living iu tho outskirts, not only in gird
ling young apple trees, but in tho de
struction of vegetables of all kinds, aud
ought not to receivo the protection of the
law.

A Washington paper relates that ex
Congressman Charles Turner entered a
refreshment place on Pennsylvania Ave.
the other night to get a seltzer lemonade,
and was surprised to find a tramp, to
whom he had given a dime only a few
moments before sipping some hot whis
key. "X thought you wanted that dime to
buy food, and here you are drinking
wniskey with it," exclaimed Turner an
grily. "Not on your life," observed the
hobo haughtily, as he threw a paper dol
lar on the bar. "I don't spend my mon
ey as soon as I earn it. I'll have that
dime, for a week." The tramp then
walked losiurely over to the free lunch
counter.

The present condition of Trader Far
ron, the man who killed his wife and
came near killing himself, indicates thai
he will not survive to Bland a hearing on
the charge of murdering his wife. Since
he has been in jail his system has ab
sorbed blood poisoning from the terrible
wounds in his face. Gangrene has result
ed in one of his feet, and the process of
decay is such that Dr. Wallace, the Jail
physician, will probably be compelled to
amputate part of the foot. It is doubtful
if tho patient could stand the operation.
Farren suffers great pain and is anxious

Buy a pair of gloves or mittens at the
red letter sale. Miles A Armstrong. It
An attempt was made Monday to work
a very slick game of flim-flatn upon one
of the most prominent wholesale liquor
men of this city. A man came to his
store with a jug which would hold two
gallons and asked for a gallon of alcohol.
The liquor was measured out and poured
Into the jug, which, by the time the
mecauso was two-thirds empty, ran over.
This caused the liquor man to cogitate,
with tho result that he confiscated the
whole outfit. The customer had intended
if the dealer refused to trust him for the
alcohol, to tell him to take back a gallon
of the jug's contents. This would have
lelt one half of the liquor in the jug.
