Now that the 6ame season is about over there will bo less accidents chroni clod from the careless handling of fire- arms, but this will not diminish the num ber of sad accidents, for the time has arrived when tho small boy, whose leis ure is mostly given to coasting on the sidewalks, will run into a fence or lamp post and break (lis collar bone or a limb or else run into pedestrians who are com pelled to be constantly on tho lookout when near street crossings. Coasting and skating on the walks by the children of this placo has become such a popular pastime that it is an unendurable nuis ance and should bo stopped before some one is seriously injured. Men's knit Jackets at Miles A Arm strong's. H A Correspondent on (he Institute. Your issue of last week serves notice on your many readers of what may be expected at the Farmer's Institute, Dec. 10-11. The objects of those annual Insti tutes are very broad along tho line of in struction, and we only wonder why we wVe so long In learning to appreciate their real benefits. In looking over the program as out lined last week, we are unable toconceive of ono individual who is not in some way luterosuid in our farmers'; institutes. We are certaiuly all interested iu farm ing, either directly or indirectly. We are also interested in the matters of public interest, such as our roads.schools.homes, etc. If we desire or expect to make ad vancement iu those dopartmonta of knowledge, wo must necessarily make use of the means within our reach in order that we do advance properly. If it were not for the brain powor as well as for the interchanging of views brought Into requisition in the recent past, the rolling of the reaper and the rattling of the mow ing machine would be unheard by us, and although we as a nation stand in the front rank of civilization and commendable advancement along tho line of comfort and happiness, we are not to suppose that the highest point possible to attain is already attained by us. Light, as in the material creation was the first substanco created beforo the chaos was reduced to beauty and order, so in the intellectual world, education, or light In the understanding, is the eom- menewment of every process that loads to improvement, comfort and happiness in tho world. Why should we not as farm ers, and thoso interested, and all are, b- come inoio interested in the march to wards future improvomeul inourcounty. Conio,lct us talk togcthorabout our farms, our stock, roadk, schools and that which makes our humus prosperous ami happy by porpetual advancement, etc. Now a word for the gentlemen sent to us by the Commonwealth to discuss those subjects with us at our Institutes. They are not, as many suppose, men who have acquired their knowledge from books, etc., but they are men who are farmers, having a practical know ledge of farming; men who kuow by experience that more bruin power and loss physical power will bring about better results on the farm. Trudy, we are anxious and hope to see a greater degree ofintorost manifested iu our coming institute, and we certainly have no cause for compluiut over the past. J. A. Nov. :!!, 'U7.

O. Twitch ell.of Pithole was dostroyod bv fire early Sunday morning, but, fortunately the flames were discovered iu time to allow Mr. Twitched, who is postmaster at Pit hole to save his live stock. The barn was tho property of the Homan heirs and had been leased by Postmaster Twitcholl.and theie Is no doubt but that the fire was del iboratply started by some enemy of tho postmaster. The structure contained 50 tons of hay and straw, 120 bushels of oats and 100 bushels of buckwheat, all of which wore a total loss. The barn was insured for il00, but the contents which Mr. Twiteholl values at ftioo or more were not insured. More than ordinary interest centers in this tire from the fact that out or the hun dreds of resldonoes, hotels, business blocks and other buildings, which in Its day mada Pithole the star attraction in the oil region and one ol the most noted in this country of mushroom towns, this barn and house occupied by the owner, Postmaster Twiteholl, were the only two that remain that were in every day use. Part of tho farm on which the oats, hay and buckwheat were raised last season by Mr. Twltchell was once laid out with streets and was the scene of wonderful activity and enormous financial trans actions. There are still a few dilipidated buildings and foundations remaining, but It requires a guido and one familiar witli the old scones to find thorn, aud what few structures remain are not fit lor habita tion. And this is what remains of a town which at one time as the reports of the postolllce department show, had one of the largest postoftlces in the Western part of Pennsylvania. Derrick.
