Merchants would do woll to seo that

This is court week in Tioncsta but it
is not as lively as usual owing to tho ab
sences of any criminal business on hand
and the non-attondance of tho grand jury.
Only civil oases are beinp tried, and tho

the only strangors on our streets.
Marienville had a small- firo last

Dear reader, did you ever try to
write a letter to a friend and at the same

cause of premature groy hairs on the do

Official lifo seems as natural as water
to a duck to our esteemed friond W. O.
Smith of the Punxsutawney Spirit. We
see by the lsst published list that be Is on

give the Brookvillo Democrat oause for a

A good plau for storing chestnuts for
winter use is to take a small quantity of
salt in a bag with tho nuts. They will
then become soft and sweet, and any
worms which happen to be among them
will bo drivon out. Tho bays will be-
como covered with sweat caused by the
salt, but this will not impair the qualify
of the nuts' in the slightest degree. This
plan Is followed by many and is con-id
ered one of the best. Ex.
The promised thanksgiving blizzard
has arrived on time, and this morning

The only ease thus far taken up in
court this week is that of McArthur,
trustee, vs. Tionesta Gas Co., which is
now on trial. Tho suit involves the title
to a portion of the territory from which
the gas company secures part of its pro
duction, on Hemlock creek. The case of
W. A. Coniioly vs. Hickory twp. was
continned to next term. Other cases have

Miss Nannie Morrow has secured
rooms in tho Koplor block, where sho Is
conducting her kindorgarten. She has
quite a large class and from present in
dications the enterprise is an assured suc
cess. In a short time alio will havo seats
and desks for the little ones and the room
will then be very nicely arranged. The
project is an excellent one and those who
have children undor six years of ago
should place them in the care of Mini
Morrow, and when they are old enough
to go to the publio school they will be
about two years "ahoad of timo."
Tho situation at Kellottville with re
gard to tho diphtheria epidemic seems to
be encouraging at present. There aro
no new cases reported and all the old
cases are on the mend. Mrs. Chas. Bauer.
just aftor recovering from a light attack
af diphtheria, was taken with Pneumo
nia, but is better. It was reported that
Dr Detar's family, who wont to Fryhurg
justaltor the diphtheria broke out at
Kellettvillo, had been takon with the dis
ease la bad form, but tho report was an
oxageration. It was only a oold with bad
sore throat; no diphtheria at all.
Joo Thomas, our colored nimrod, re
ports this a pretty fair sort of season for
game Thus far, Joe aud his faithful
hounds have manugod to capturo 42 coons
and any number of smaller vermints.
His record for last Friday, he informs us,
was eight rabbits, and not being quite
satisfied with tho score, he went out Sat
urday again and shot nine. Clarion
Democrat, Joe's many friends herea
bouts will bo pleased to learn that he
still has a cinch on the raccoon industry,
and that his trusty old riflo with which
ho always clnimod ho could skin, disem
bowel and havo ready for the stewpan a
black squirrel at "0 yards, is still in good
running order.
J. T. AnJerson of East Hickory
killed a large wildcat within 20 rods of
tho center of the town last Sunday even
ing, and did it with a stone. He heard a
strango noiso as ho was passing along tho
road and looking back saw his catship in
the act of springing oyer the fence in his
direction. A woll directed stroke from a
stone turned the cat oyer, but enly in
creased its fury, and as the monster
poked his head through the fence and let
out a terrific "yowl" another stone from
the young man's hand struck the cata
mount square between the eyes and end
ed its earthly caroer. Mr. Anderson will
got a bounty of 2 for his good marks
manship and sand, besides a dollar or so
for the pelt.
The life of a village postmaster is by
no moans one of pleasure and tho follow
ing rules posted by the official in the of
fice of a neighboring town are to the
point : "No lottors will be delivered un
til they are roceived. If you don't get a
loiter or paper on the day you expect,
hare the postmaster look in all the boxes
and down in tho collar also. It ought to
hi there somewhere and ho likes to hunt
for it to please you. If your friend don't
write, cuss tho postmaster. He is to
blamo. If he tells you there is no mail
for you, put on a grieved expression and
say : 'There ought to be eome.' He Is
probably hiding your mail for the pleas
ure of having you call lor it two or three
times a day. Ask him to look again."
No pleasanter affair could well bo im
agined than was the banquet giyeu by
the Relief Corps last Wednesday evening
in honor of tho company of young poople
which so nicely rendered the drama of
the Cuban Spy recently. Upward of sev-onty-live
guests were present at tho Corps
hall, and from start to finish the pleasure
of the gathering was unhampered. Dom
ino and card parties were formed and
comprised a large sharo of the evening's
enjoyment, while music and just a mere
hint at torp'iichorean pleasure prevented
anything like monotony from marring
tho happy occasion. A lunch was served
which was entirely in keeping with the
woll-ostablishd reputation of the ladies
of the Corps. The party dispaarsod about
12 o'clock With many expressions of
thanks for the royal entertainment of the
evoning. Nobody ever slights an Invita

has ever tasted of their hospitality.

erished condition and very sick. The
Colonol promptly made out a fine large
check, which he presented to the soldier
with tho understanding that nothing was
to bo said about the donation until after the
eloction. Tho act in itself was sufficient
to show what kind of a man was elected
as Now York's governor. Ex.
Learn to laugh, not giggle j a hearty
laugh is better than medicine. A well
told story is as good as a sunbeam in the
sick room. Learn to keep-your troubles
to yourself. Learn to stop croaking
about your neighbors; they aro just as
good as you aro. If yoi cannot see any
good in tho town you live in, pull out
and leave, and tho people will thank you
for it. Learn to meet your frionds with
asmilo. A good humored man or woman
is always welcome, bul the pessimist is
not wanted anywhere. He is a nuisance.
Ex.
The following item on iiame is trom
tho Bellofonto Gazette, and fully explains
itself. That is, it hits off the situation
in tills section about right: Game does
not seem as plenty in Cpntre county this
year as last owing undoubtedly to the en
tire absence of all kinds of nuts. Pheas
ants, which promised to bo unusually
plenty, can not bo found in their usual
haunts, but it is possible that they are
yet on top of the mountains where they
can Iced on huckleberries. Squirrels are
unusually scarce while rabbits are equal
ly hard to' find. Nearly everybody is out
for deer now but so fur we have not heard
of any "big catches."
The latest invention is a pipe line made
of nL'ss. The glass manufacturing firm
whoso plant is located at Port Allegheny,
McKean county, is piepariug to make
glass lubes that can be used for sending
oil or gas across the country ; for carry
ing oil soworago, supplying cities with
water, etc. The glass pipe does not
corrode, it is impervious to tho eloctrolo
sis in under-ground conduits, and, it is
claimed, is less likely to leak than iron
pipe. Tho Bradford Era is informed that
an Ohio company is putting in such a line
and that a practical tost of the system 'or
a distance of ono hundred miles will soon
bo possiblo.
When a girl of sixteen is seen upon the
streets sho has a cute way of tossing her
head as though she owned the earth and
was going to the middle of the next
block to get it. Alter she is eighteen the
world sho owns is about as far away as
tho world's fair was to tho most of us,
and at twenty hho gives up all hopes of
ever gettin ; it at all. By the time she is
twenty-live she lias a faint, vaijue sus
picion that there is a ureal deal of insin
cerity in tho world, and the thing lor her
tn do is to get a position and .something
useful. Alter a while she gets married
to a man who isn't at all the sort of u.an
sho dreamed of. Then she coneludus.slie
will bo bettor oil' in heaven. Ex.
