evening, and "just as the Republican
predicted," the groat body of ice passed

Wonderful Freak of Nature.
Perhaps the most wonderful freak of
nature over known In this section has
been on exhibition in this place siuce
Monday of , this week. It is in the form
of a double calf from a cow owned by
farmer Christopher Korb of Tionesta
township and was born on Sunday night,
though It died "aborninc," as did like
wise the mother which tried to give it
birth. The calf is fully' developed and
weighed 110 pounds ; it has two distinct
and well-formed heads and necks ; two
spinal chords, and tail with two branches
formed abuut five inches from the trunk.
Its four legs are perfect, in tact, with the
exception of the legs, which are natural,
it is two calves in one hide. Some who
have seen it and know tho value of such
freaks decided it to be a truly scientific
wonder, aud could it have been kept
alivo would have proven a veritable gold
mine for its owner. The carcas will
doubtless be sent to a texldermist and
properly mounted. It is surely worth
tho necessary cost.
The New tirist Mill.
Among new Industries worthy ol spec
ial mention in Tionosta is tho grist mill
recently erected by Messrs. F. R. and C.
Lanson. The senior member of the
firm, which will be known as Lanson
Bros., is well known to all our citizens,
he having been in the mercantile busi
ness here for about twenty years. The
unior member, Mr. C. A. Lanson, re
cently came hero from Los Angoles, Cal.,
but in his s. ort residence here has be
come well and favorably known to most
of our people.
The now mill, which is located on
Bridge street, was built upon the most
modern plans and in a short time will be
replete with up to date machinery, but
at present the mill is only doing food
grinding. The motive power is furnished
by a 25 H. P. gas engine of the Standard
mako and it does tho work nicely and
easily.
1 lie building, which is32x4oand four
stories high, makes a very material ad
dition to the looks of the street oh which
it is located. The bins of the mill have
a capacity of 10,0(10 bushels ot grain, and,
when completed, will havo a grinding
capacity of 75 bushel; per hour.
This new1 Industry fills a long felt want
in this place and the farmers of this sec
tion will undoubtedly appreciate the ad
vantages gained, and the enterprising
firm of Lanson Bros, is deserving of com
mendation for giving these advantages.
and they should have the patronage of
all who have any work in this line. Their
ad. will be found-in another column of
this issue, and as they say, "(Jive Us A
1 rial," wo trust their patrons will lie
many.

I received your letter some time aso,
but as thore was no mail leaving there
was no use in my being in auy hurry to
reply. There is no daily mail in this fr
saknu place, which has been inhabited
by pcoplo who were supposed to Hta civ
ilized since tho time that walled cities
were in vogue, and still the majority ot
the natives are only half civilized al
though many are very intelligent. A
treat deal of the population ot the city ot
Manila Is composed f Chinamen who do
the most of the store business that is done
on a small scale, while the Spanish do the
big business of the town.
'1 hero a:e but two streetcar lines in the
city and they are tram ears at that. Tha
principle mud of travel is tho cariuieta,
a jolting concern with two wheels, and
which rides almost as smooth as a narrow
gauge car. The reason it only has two
wheels is that it costs a dollar a month
tax lor each wheel, and there are thous
ands ot them in the city, although there
is hardly a single one to be seen to-duy,
as it has been just one year to-day since
Dr. Rizal, one of the most popular Men in
all the islands, was executed by I lie Span
ish tor being ffi sympathy with the na
tives and asking a reform in the tax law.
He was educated in U. S and could
speak ciJit ditierent languages. He was
executed on the publicexeculion grounds
where hundreds ol the best of the natives
in Manila have been executed.
The boys of the Tenth have had au ex
tremely hard time of it since they reucliei,
Manila, but they are living a great deal
better now. For X-inas we had a verv
good dinner of which I herewith sttnil
you tho ''Bill of Fare." none of t' e boys,
However, liavo been sick rrom overfeed
ing, although none of them ate any sup
por.
the boys are all expecting te get home
and want to got out of this place, for it is
a very tillhy hale and is getting wors3
every day. No person win has never
lieen hero can form an utea ot the condi
tion of the streets. At iiigb tide the
water raii.es to within one foot of lemn
on a level with tho street, so the drainage
is not very good. ,
Alosquuoesi It would drive a Jersev-
maii crazy with envy to see a quality so
much superior to any he lias ever seen.
I do not think there is a single (unmar
ried) niosquitto ou the islan.l. They all
have tamilitts.
Tho horses here are nearly all small.
A largo horse is as much of a curiosity as
a circus parade iu a country town. The
avorage size is 8-"0 pounds. I have only
seen one large horse iu Manila. .
