Theeause was from an onen gas jet, left burning in the summer kite-h and an overpaessure of eras. The damage was slight, the fire not getting in no me main part of tho building. The Warren Mirror very truthfully remarks : The fool and reckless hunter still at work in this neck of woods. Last Friday afternoon Miss Virginia Arp t'as snoi by a huntor as she was walking long a road In Watson township, two of lie buckshot taking effect, The hunter ays he thought she was a bear. Some of these Idiots ought to have a guardian along with them when they go on hunt- ng trips. W. G. Wymau reports drivinir a lame deer ahead of bis horse in the middle of the road near Neiltown, last week Mon day, for a distauce of sixty rods or more, when it leisurely jumped over a fence and trotted across a field and disappeared n me woods. He Informed a number of people who lived near by and thev im- modiatoly gave chase. Mr. Wyman says is feelings can only be imagined while hat deer wns trotiing along ahead of him and he had no gun. Messrs. O. F. Miles and T. F. Ritch- ey have the rare distinction of bringing n mo only deer of the season to this uort. Aftor faithfully "beating the bushes'' for all day they "caught on" In the last hours of the season, bagging a plump 75-pound lawn over In the redbrush, about four miles from town.

It is no trouble for us to show goods, so come right in whether you wish to pur- cease or not. it The Bowman flouring mill at East Hickory narrowly escaped being burned last Saturday night. A box of matches, usually kept on the desk in the office, it is supposed, were ignited by mice. On the wall over the desk and on oither side of a window were a couple of bill hooks, each holding a bunch of paper. These took fire and in turn sot the window cas ing on fire, burning part of the sash near ly in two and also burning a hole almost through the top of the desk. Lack of any draft undoubtedly saved the mill struc ture from being consumed, as the fire would doubtless have escaped detection till too late. The Next Farmers' Institute.

Pittsburg ranked thirteenth iu popula tion, in 1898, among the fifteen largest cities in tho Union, and the advocates of a greater Pittsburg calculate that by consolidating with Allegheny the census of 1900 would show the. "Steel City" to have half a million inhabitants, making it the sixth city in the United States in point of size. The lumber resources of Pennsylvania are fast passing away. There are said to remain only a few . unbroken timber tracts in the Clearfield region, and next spring the last drive is expected to be mudo from the mouth of the Sinnema honing, to consist of 3(),0 9,000 ieotoflo(js. In all 60,000,000 feet of timber will pass Lock Haven. Clearfield Journal. -If you contemplate giving your best friend a present buy one of those beauti ful silk umbrellas at Miles A Arm strong's. It The Sheriffs in this State are interested to know to what extent they will lose business through the new bankruptcy law diminishing the nunibor of volun tary assinment proceedings. Sherift Lowry, of Allegheny county, has thus far lost but one execution since tbe bank ruptcy law went into effect, although 56 petitions of voluntary bankruptcy have been filed with the United States Clerk for the Western District of Pennsylvania. . - Another lot of ladies' and gent's mackintoshes at Hopkins store. It The annual report of the Postodiee De partment shows not only a large Increase in the volume of business handled, but also a great improvement in tbe efficiency of the machinery of handcling it. In deed, the department is now so eltlcient in the business of transporting the vast amount of second class matter that it is quite prepared to take up tlie question of a general postal-package service such as has been tried with success all over Europe. Heath A Killmer have an elegant display of toilet ca.es, toilet articles of all kiuds and thoir line of perfumes can't be beat. Go and see. It A western paper is responsible for the following: An Arazona rancher has posted the following on acottonwood tree noar his place : "My wife Sarah has left my ranch when I didn't Doo a thing Too her ond I want it distinkly understood that any man as takes her in and Keers for her on my accouni will get hissolf Pumped sc full of lead that some tender foot will locate him for a mineral claim. A word to the wise is sufficient and orter work on fools." The Chester County Almshouse gives shelter to three interesting characters, viz.: A man who twenty-five years ago was worth $200,000. but largely by reason of his generous nature he lost it all ; Sal lie Elbert, one of the last of the Lenape tribe of Indians that were numerous In Chester county years ago, and Rebecca Thomas, eolored, said to bo 103 years old, and who says she rmembors seeing the town of Havre le Grace (Md.) burned by the British, bs she stood on tbe porch of her master's house. Referring to the healthful and sensible fad of the ladies in llio matter of warm and serviceable footwear, a New York fashion note says that the boys' depart ments of tho shoe shops are thronged these days with women, all engaged in buying Loys' boots for themselves. Fashion has driven them to it, it being decreed that women's footgear shall lie of such a heavy, broad build that nothing short of boots originally made for men will satisfy them. So the fair shopper turns to boys' boots, men's being a trifle oversized. Lake Superior is in danger of losing its distinction of being the largest fresh water lake in the world." African explor ers begin to think that Lake Victoria Ny anza is larger. Superior covers 31, 200 square miles, aud Xyanza is credit ed with about 39,0iK) ; but recent explora tions have discovered a hitherto un known bay on its southern side which so increases its known aroa as to make it a question whether it is not larger than Superior. Fuller explanation and more careful surveys must be inado, howvr, beforo a decision can bo reached. Tho Bradford Era siys : "A Quaker Bridgo man killed a bear cub recently and sent it to Herrii gton's market yes terday. Tho animal weighs alxmt 05 pounds. A Bradford man who was in the woodson Willow creek recently, says bears are numerous thure and the hun ters of that region are spending their time very profitably in trapping and shooting the animals. Mose Johnson, a Willow creek pioneer, has a big cave into which he lures the bears and then by building II res at the several oullels of Hie cavern, smokes them nut ami dispatches Ihein with a rifle butlet. A number of Bradford men are hunting in tho Willow creek woods, and will probably come homo with a line collection of bear stories." L. J. Hopkins 1 1898 L. J. Hopkins CLOTHING!
