We have no authority for saying so, but suppose the property will be for rent when completed, for wo can t understand what use Jim would have for such elaborate bachelor quarters. If S. S. Canfiold didn't make tho nomination for sheriff he made a good horse deal while electioneering in Jenks township. He saw a horse out there that struck him as a good one and he pur based him. Contractor Nixon also thinks ho knows a tiling or two about a horse, consequently "Shell" was tho proud possessor of the animal for just one day and Mr. Nixon is now driving him. A law has been passed by the legisla ture making it unlawful under a penalty of from f-0 to J500 for any dealor to pur chase junk of any kind from persons other than licensed plumbers nr owners of buildings from which material Is taken without entering in a book kept for that purpose, a description of the property purchased ; the hour it was bought and the name and residence of the person from whom it was purchased. Contractor Nixon will have the brick for the construction of the new county home manufactured on the ground, hav ng given a contract to a Mr. Allen of Ti tusville, a practical brick maker, for the making of the same. A line quality of clay can be had near whore the buildings will be locatod, and while saving the ex pense of transportation, the work ofmak ing the brick will furnish employment to a large force ol men, and will be in pro cress as soon as the tools and machinery can be gotten on the ground. It is estimated that the bicycle side paths to be erected in the various coun ties of Pennsylvania will cost ffOOa mile, which would mean an annual expendi ture of $5,000 to construct twolve and half miles of path in a county. The paths are expected to be raised twelve to eighteen inches above tho road level. The minimum width must bo three feet and tho maximum six feet. Mtezard, At that price It strikes us there is not likely to be many hundred miles of path built in this county in the next year at least. Some of our editorial friends, who perhaps never edited a row of corn in their lives, pretend to tell us that there is a notable absence of potato bugs this year, and that the pests have evidently been killed by heavy frost of the past winter, and that usually the bugs are plowed up in largo numbors when tho noil is being prepared for planting. There need be no uneasiness on this score there'll be bugs galore at the first appear ance of potato tops on the surface. Have no care for the safety of the striped beetle JIo'll be in evidence all right. After copying our item of last week in relation to his recent libel suit, Editor Irwin of the Venango Spectator figures out that he's got us convicted of libel in thi way: "There are three distinct libels In that squib, Bre'r Wenk the coupling of our namo with Quay, the hanging or 'Colonel' to the aforesaid name, and the Intimation that we have fallen into the Congress class. It's clearly an attempt to bring us into public scandal, hatred, ridicule, infamy, contempt and disgrace, with force and arms' but we forgive you. What's the use ef quarreling about potty matters of character, among friendsT" Vegolation of every description has taade wonderful strides in the past week, aad pastureage, which bad hardly mado a tart. is already quite good, as those wlio have milch cows can understand' and butter is rapidly changing to a rich golden basis. Garden truck is pushing along at a lively rate, while the thicken ing foliage already furnishes Binple shade for the lazy lout or the languid lover, as the case may be, and all nature is beam ing her prettiest beam.

Will We Have Another Railroad A special dispatch from Titusville to the Pittsburg Com.-Gazette, under i ate of the 5th Inst., says : "Representatives or the Titusville, Cambridge A Lake Erio railway have been in Titusville for sev eral days going over the line from Cam bridge to Tionesta. - The line betwoen these points consists only of a roadbed and right ef way, aad it is believed that the line is now to be bwilt to furnish an outlet for the bituminous coal region of Clarion and Jefferson counties." It seems the people of Erie are seeking greater share of the lake traffic than they have been getting of late years, and are casting about for feeders. They evident ly see an opportunity tor one such and are willing to invest their capital to an nlimited extent. The (Joldcn Days or Youth.

After reaching Daw son s'alion the girls walked a mile up tho un to Osgood A Jamioson's mill and af ter an hour spent in watching the mill unaing, riding on lumber cars, etc., the party procured fishing tackle and went trouting, and their phonomenal success banishes the moss-grown theory that trout will sot bito if you make a noise, for it is needless to say fiat this party of girls, just released from a long term or school "made the welkin ring" as they gave vent to their pent u p emotions in joy ous shouts and merry laughter. Aftortir- ng of fishing the party returned to' tho millaud dinner was spread ou thetop ol a board pile twenty feet high, and this was the only time during the day that there was a souiblance of quietude on the part or the croud. After dinner the party went trouting again and thus the time was spent until thirty nine treut had been caught and it was time to return on train 83 In the evening. After arriving home they enjoyed a buss ride around town. All in all it was a great day for what we will call the Fairy Fishing Club, but this was not to be the end of it, as all were invited to the home of Helen Smear baugh for a fish breakfast the next morn ing and this proved one of the most en joyable features of all.'

Charles Davis, whose home is in Tid iouto, was hit by a board thrown from the edger saw in the mill at Endeavor on Wednesday last and quito severely, though perhaps not seriously, injured. Ho was engaged in tunning out lumber and was near the edger at the time. The board struck him at the hip with terrific force, making a very severe bruise, and perhaps breaking one of tho bones, though that could not be fully determined at tho time by the physician, Dr. Dunn, who found the man in great pain. He was taken to his home and we under stand has been doing well considering tho painful nature of his Injuries. Of Miss Ackerman, who lectures un der the auspices of the W. C. T.
