It We acknowledge the recoipt of an vitailon to attend- the eighty-third an nual commoncomoiit exercises of Alle gheny College, Meadvillo, Pa;, during the.weck commencing Sunday, June 20, 1SU8. An exchengo assorts that "courting a girl is like starting a newspaper. It starts out a wockly, thon bocomos a tri weekly, then merges into a daily, and if it has any enterprise, comes out with an extra about once a year." Another rail road to Tionesta putting us in direct communication with Phila delphia, Now York and the sea board and giving us access to the wonderful forests of timber along its route will make Tionesta a booming manufacturing center. , Tho 43d session of the Pennsylvania Stato Teachers' Association will be held at Bollefonte, July 5th, Gth, and 7th.

Tho wheat has been growing tall at an ostonishing rnto, and the Emlentoii News says that unless this growth Is stopped in some manner, the farmer, whon he ooms to thresh out the grain, will have to use a Hold somewhat larger thnn a common sized barnyard to pile his straw in. Lost On the river road betweon Hickory and Tionesta, a lady's pocket book containing between $1 and $3 in money and somo calling cards bearing tho namo of Mrs. Will Morrow. The finder will be suitably rewarded by re turning same to the owner at West Hick ory. Bicyclo ridors in tho surrounding towns aro invited to organize themselves into squads or platoons so far as possible, at homo, and to report at Hotel Agnew, Tionesta, ready for tho parade by 9:30 o'clock on the morning of the Fourth. A flag and staff will be furnished each rider in tho parade by the committee. An Exchange says: Persons who keep chickens and permit them to run at large will do well to romembor a decision of tho Supreme Court which says that "Fowls of any kind, when beyond the limits of the owner's property, can be treated as wild game, and shot and killed n any way without being subject to pen alty therefor." At a mooting of tho horough school beard Monday evsning the old corps of tcachors was ro elected, with their rela tive places and numbers retained in the schools. Eight months of school will be had, and salaries remain the same. This action on tho part of tho board is pretty generally agreeable to the patrons of the school. All of tho unpleasant "stories" that are set afloat finally drift around to the local newspaper office. The good name of a town is always in the keeping of the editor of the local newpaper and lie sel dom abuses tho trust. A clean local news paper dosorves as much, credit for not printing some tilings as it does for print ing other things, wisely remarks an ex change. ' Tho Democratic County Convention was held in this place yesterday, when the following ticket was named : Con gress, T. J. Bowman, Hickory j Senate, T. F.

Come early, for thoy are selling fast this year. 2t Clias. Bailor was down from Kellett ville last Thursday and secured the notes and other valuable pnpors stolen from his safe about a month ago and which woro found near Glenfern spring on the German hill road tho first of last week by Hal Davis and Will Shoomakor. The nggrcgato valuo of the notes was $1,800.65, and while they wore of no uso to anyone but the owners, the finding of them saved a great deal of trouble- in having them re newed. Ono day or night last week fomo van dal scattered tacks in the street between Bridge stroct and tho conrt house, and no less than thirty bicycle tires were punc tured. It is difficult to imagine how any ono with a sound mind could porpetrate so dastardly an outrage, now that the ordinance prohibiting the use of the side walks for bicycle riding has gone into ef fect, and is strictly oboyed by all. This would bo a very unhealthy spot for the miscreant were ho to be apprehended. At 2 o'clock Monday morning . the Youngsville Manufactrring company's factory was destroyed by fire. The fire started in Euiilo Sajadohl's bicycle estab lishment. It is not known how the fire originated, but probably by spontaneous combustion. Loss on the fnruiture fac tory about $50,000. Insurance, $21,000. Loss on Sagadobl's establishment about $l,GO0. Insuaance, $100. Superintendent Charlos Kay says that in all probability the furniture factory will be rebuilt, as 70 men are thrown out ot employment. It is to bo hopod that tins is so. Hopkins soils the clothing and shoes Postmaster General Smith has put in oooration several changes in the postal regulations. It has been stated that the postal card was to be discontinued, but the regulation regarding the now mail ing cards recently authorized by Congress shows this to bo a mistake. Hereafter whilo the postal cards will continuo to be sold, it will be lawful to use cards with a 1-cent stamp allixeu lor me same pur nose. Those cards must be approximate' Iv of tho same size, shapo and color as the postal card. When these mailing cards are sent in lorcjpfu iniiuin iva uju uimiitujr letter postage must be alhxed.

Ashabel Holeinan was born Oct. 28th, 1824, at Uolemau's Flats on the Allegheny river, and died after three weeks of great suirering at his home in the this place on Tuesday moruing, June 14th, 18!8, aged 73 years, 7 months and 17 days. He was marriod to Miss Nancy Slielma din, of Slielmadine Springs, Pa., Oct. 28, 1847, and by her becamo the father of one son and livo daughters, of whom the mother and two daughters, Mrs. J. 11. Lockwood and Mrs. II. J. Hopkins, all of this placo now survive. An adopted daughter, to them like their own, also survives, Mrs. Wiley Ward also of this placo. He joined the U. B. Church in 1S.'5, was licensed to exhort in 1S.VI and to preach in 1857, and for forty years has been an ordained minister in good standing and a member of the Erie conference of the U. B. Church. He led in the erection of the beautiful church belonging to that de nomination in our place and was a most liberal supporter of the gospel and en deavored to abound in every good word and work In 1872 be built the Holoman block in this place, lor many years has btien ono of our heaviest tax payors and one of our best and foremost men in bus iness. For forty years, in Allegheny township and then here, after ' the organization of our horough, he served the State and county faithfully as one of our magis trates doing his duty as he saw it, fear lssly, iuterpidly and well. Iu politics he was a stalwart Republican of the Lin coln and Sumner type, and believed in liberty for all and righteousness toward all, with all his soul. He held with a strong grip that the light of a true patriot ism oi a true philanthropy, is non oth er than tho light of tho golden rule. In Christian faith bo was a chief captain, and a mighty man; and among the first of the men and prophets of his day and gen eration. In the problems and difficul ties of lil'o, he aimod not to be aggressive, but if attacked by any foe he could soon show that he had the stuff iu him ol which heroes are made. Brave in pur pose, strong tempered, heroio in resolute ness, and yet .kind-hearted and gentle as the zephyrs, he was a man to fight and win, as lie diii, in the great battle of lite, Pleasantville Record.

Blocher hit it hard when he got into the navy. He is the first man from this county to see actual service iu the present war. His boat is the Abarenda, and following is a press dispatch of tho fight at Guantanamo last Sunday afternoon : The A merlcan flag was raised over Camp McCalla at Guantanamo atfi o'clock this (Sunday)af ternoon by Lieut. Junkins and Ensigu Ainsworth, of the collier Abarenda, after the hottest day's work that American sol diers or marines have had since the Civil War. Shells, shrapnel and .steel bullets whistled all around the earap throughout the day and the big guns of the Marble head and Texas thundered at intervals. Thoy were accompanied by the roar of howitzers stationed on the hillside, aud the almost continous cracking of rifles. The bills around Guantanamo echoed and reechoed the reports of explnading shells, which fell in the hollow where for :W hours the Spanish sharpshooters had lodged and made life a bell for the ma rines who escaped their bullets, aud mut ilated in the most horrible manner the bodies of the four whom they succeeded in killing. The camp is situated at a knob near the shore. Ordinarily such a location would be an ideal one, but the brush and shrubbery are so thick and other hills and mountains so near that it presented a conspicuous target for the bullets of the enemy, who were sneaking in the grass. Before tho day was over some of the officers of the marines were ready to admit that th place was unten able and should be abandoned.
