-Every well regulated town must
soonor or later have Its kissing bug story
and here is the one which the Titusville
II "ertVJ tells: "Friday morning the fore
man of this oflice reported for duty in a
most pitiable condition- His under lip
protruded in such a manner as to resem
ble closely a snow plow on tho trolly
company's dinkey In mid-winter. When
questioned as to what bad happened he
claimed not to know, but there is no
reason to doubt from all the symptoms
that it was the work of the latest thing In

road ran before the relocation of that road
was made, three years ago, about three
miles from the borough, will furnish tho

we raise In this country, and they are ot
a tine quality for building purposes, too.

Oil City had a gala week of it during
the races which began there on the 18th
Inst., and lasted till Saturday. For the
"first offense" the race meet was a pro
nounced success and those who attended
expecting to see some of tho finest exhi
bitions of speedy horso flesh ever made
on a half mile track were not disappoint
et'in tho least. The local management
deserve a largo measure of praise for tho
admirable manner in which tho affair
was conducted throughout the entire
week, the fairness with which every
event was pulled off, thus bringing out
the greatest speed possible. If the same
good conduct of future occasions is main
tained by the association they will have
no trouble in getting largo crowds to
witness them. But one improvement
could be suggested now, and that is to
induce the railroad company to give up-
river patrons as good chance as an or
diuary hobo to get back to their homes
on some of the uumarous freight trains
leaving the city.

The State Survey commission has
held a meeting and decided to immedi
ately begin the topographical and geolog
ical survey of the entire State. An ap
propriation of $10,000 was signed by the
governor for this purpose, and the na
tional government will likely add a like
cum. It will be a big undertaking. The
maps are required to show every house In
city and country ; every road sud path,
the size, shape and height of every hill
and mountain, 'every valley, stream, lake
and pond, by means of contour lines. It
will take at least fifteen years to com
plete the work. The start will bo made
in Erie county, because of the United
States lake survey, upon which the new
work can be based. From there oper
ations will bo extended into Fayetto
county, thence to Westmoreland, Arm
strong and Allegbony counties. The
commissioners expect that about 1000
squaro miles of territory will be sur
veyed before tho end of the season.

Inter to be written to his family so late
as Saturday last, a letter full of hope for
his recovery, the good report of his
probable cure of an ailment which bad
confined him to his home for two months
or more, cheered his family and friends
who all to-day mourn his loss, and im
presses all with tho forve of the line of
the pool, "Truly, in tho midst of life we
are in death." At tho hospital he was
operated upon at 11 o'clock on Saturday
morning, and rallied so well from the
shock that his physicians bad great hopes
of his recovory, but on Monday morning
at 6 o'clock he expired very suddenly
and without much warning, bis only

The nature ol his trouble was an obstruc

Fred. Gillespie, youucet sou of tne
lati C. F. Gillespie, of Whig Hill, was
seriously injured while working in the
timber woods on the Wheeler A Dusen
bury tract for jobber Jeff Dean last Fri
day. A large pine had been cut and in
falling broke the top off a dead oak, which
caught Fred in its descent and injured
him very badly. A large gash was cut
in Ids cheek, his right shoulder, chest
and abdomen were badly bruised, and
the skin and flesh were torn from bis
body in a number of places. Companions
conveyed him to his home as quickly as
possible and Dr. Bowman of this place
was summoned. He found the injured
mau suffering severely, but after having
his wounds dressed felt easier, and while
he is about as sore as a man could well
be it is thought no serious internal in
juries were received and that he will re
cover without further difficulty.
A Fortune From an Odd Source.
The Franklin correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer gives this piece of
romance, tho truth of which is vouched
for by responsible parties. What makes
the story more entertaining hereabouts,
is the tact that quite a number of the
comrades of some of the parties men
tioned still live in this section :
"Alexander Snyder, returned imm the
Klondyke last week with $P,000 in gold,
a half of which he said he would give to
the son of his former chum, Thomas H.
Critcholow, late of the Eighty-third
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.
' Snyder was sicK iu the mountains for
several months, and during that time
Critchelow looked after, nursed and cared
for him as best he could under the cir
cumstances. They beeme firm friends.
' Before they separated Snyder told
Critchelow that he was going back Into
mountains lo prospect again a'd if he
was successful he would look up Critch
olow's son, wherever he was, and divide
his wealth with him. The two miners
left each other, and Snydbr heard after
wards that Critchelow died in Colorado
iu 1893.
"Snyder went te the Klondyke among
the first after the news of its great wealth
came to the States. He was an old miner
and was successful. He returned in poor
health, but he had not forgotten the man
who nursed him nor the promise he
made to remember that man'- boy.
"George Mason, a reputable citizen of
this city, who belonged to the same regi
ment of which Critchelow was a member
stales that Orrin Critchelow, of Franklin,
is the missing heir. Mason says that
Critchelow was injured at the battle of
FredricKsburg, and thai soon afterward
be secured his discharge fiom the a my.
He never returned to his family b it went
west. His family received word of his
death in 1893. Orrin Critchelow Is an oil
well driller, and his mother makes her
own livelihood. Snyder is coming to
Franklin to see if the statements of Ma
son are true."

Along the road so last,
While sheop's eyes by the gay boys, at

She dresses them in red and black-
Sometimes in golden brown
Delighted are the boys to see
J hese sportive calves in town.

Said Mary, blushing red.
"It Is because," the boys replied,
"ion keep them so well led."
