Oeorge Culmer, while at work In iba woods Dear Scotch Hill, bad one of bis legs very seriously fractured by a falling tree last Wednesday morning. It was thought amputation of the leg would be necessary to save his life. The Warren Evening Press has now changed hands and Is controlled by a number of politicians of the insurgent tripe. Just what tbe future policy of that paper will be it is hard to determine. but II it follows the tactics pursued by its owners during tho lust campaign it will emli uvor to create a split in tho ranks of the stalwart Republicans and attempt to War down the hitherto splendid umjoci lies of the party in that county. 11 1 23 LP3 3 II i Z i Persons who start newspapers for the glory of the thing are somotliuos remin ded of the small boy who stuck his lin ger Into tho Atlantic Oo an, and pulling It out looked for the hole.

This morning while ex-CominisHiou-cr Herman Blum and Henry Weingard were driving through town their buggy In some unaccountable manner parted in tho center, throwing both violently to the bard frozen ground.

If reports are true It won't be so fun ny going to York State to have the nup tial knot lied as heretofore, as license law, much more stringent than that of the Keystone Stato, has gone into effect there, and the clergy of Salamanca and Jamestown will probably suffer consid erable pecuniary loss from the new law. To get the best and freshest for the least money is what the average house holder is after, iu groceries especially.

And yet they have a number of the same excellent trades left which will go at a similar low figure. But come early. The first question a man asks when he sees a girl flirting is whether she is respectable or not, says an exchange. It rain a doubt at once, no modest, virtu ous girl can afford to indiildge in such passtime. When the down is brushed from the peach its beauty is marred. It can never be restored, and when a young girl throws lightly aside that sweet and modest reserve so becoming and which so elevates her to the command and re spect of all, she loses her great charm. A young man, cripple, who arrived from Tionesta on the noon train, Friday, with a considerable jsg on board, was arrested during the afternoon by Officer Ke.in. He was very stubborn, used much foul language and it became necessary to load him Into s wagon on the way to police headquarters. A local hotel man appeared against him this morning. He was fined live dollars or teu days to jail, and accepted the latter. Blizzard. Since Tionesta has no young men cripples, and has missed nuue of its uncrippled pop ulation, young or old. of late, it will be necessary to locate the obstreperous young man some whore else. Learn to laugh, advises a philoso pher. A good laugh Is bettor than med icine. Learn how to tell story. A well told story is as wbolosome as a sunbeam in a sick room. Learn to koop your own troubles to yourself. The world Is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in tho world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and actios under pleasant smile. No one cares to hear whether you have tho earache; headache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do well enough in uovels.but they are out of place in real life. Learn to meet your friends with a smile. The good humored man or woman is always welcome, but tbe dyspeptlo or hypo- chrondiac is not wantod anywhere, and he is a nuisance as well. Mr. A.S.

B, Kelley, this place, at 0 :10 o'clock on Sat urday morning, Jan. 1!, 1001. Tbe name of this pioneer will be re membered by all the older residents of the Allegheny valley, as in his day be was one of tho best know n lumberman on the Allegheny river. Ho was born at Bangor, Me., Sentom ber 3, 1S08, and was the son of Rev, Heze kiah May and Margaret White May, tbe latter a direct descendant of Peregrine Whito, the first child born in Now Eng land ot white parents, at Plymouth, 1020. His father, Rev. tfezekiuh May, was graduated from Yale college lu 170:1, and received a com mission from tbe society for propagating the gospel among the In dians, and settled in the province of Maine and other points. Later the May family settled successively at Marblohead, Mass ; Owogo, N. Y., ajid Painted Post, N. Y. From the last named point they removed to Franklin, wbete the Rov. May preached for a con plo of years, and Benjamin then being a young man en gaged as a clerk for the late William Ray mond, of that place. He remained in that capacity In Franklin for three or four yea s and then followed bis family to Tionesta, whore his father bad obtained a farm and tract of limber laud about three miles Irom the mouth of Tionesta creek and above ll.e present borough, and which bis father termed "Oldtown" from the fact that the farm was the site of an ancient Indian village, of which there are traces to tins day. Benjamin and his two brothers, II. II. and Solden T. May (deceased), establish ed and built a line saw mill in the forest trad owned by their father, which was known as "Oldtowu mill." His broth ers some time thereafter started and oper ate I largor mills on the same stream, Minister run and the Buck mills. About this time Bonjainin married Ann Sturde- vant Holmes, of Boston, Mass., a widow, tiie mother of three children, ail of whom are now dead. He removed te Tionesta and erected a beautiful home, which is now the property ofllon. John A. Proper. Just before the war of the rebellion Mr. May and family removed to Warren.

He is going to paint; but there's really no necessity of it. Dovoo has beeu sold in Cairo 18 years. Our agent Is Gaston Wynkoop. House owners the'O want Devoe, and painters there paint Devoe. It would be a hard job to persuado a Cairo man to paint lead and oil of course a painter paints what ever his customer wants, even if it's but termilk. Marian Van Hocsen, a Cairo painter, has painted Devoe for 15 yesrs. There aro two or three others : all for Devoe, we are told Don't know their names. It's the same whorever Devoe gets into a town : it stays there and owns tho whole business. Yours truly, 18 F. W. Dkvok A Co. Settlers' Kales via the Nickel Plate mail.

Benjamin was about medium size, of strong and muscular frame. In manner he was frank, opon and pleasant in ad ill ess, and atrugei soon felt at borne with hiiu and was soon prepsred to receive with delight and confidence in formation upon all subjec.s within the scope of bis Inlorma'ion and experience. He was particularly entertaining in re gard to the early history ol this section, being of clear and retentive memory and powers of observation far beyond the ordinary. (le was fond of relating anec dotes with reference to the annalB of the early days, recounting them with a vein or humor peculiarity his own. In poli tics previous to the civil war he was a Whig of tbe Henry Clay typo and after waids a Republican, and a Presbyterian by laith. Of late years he was much in terviewed by the descendants of the old settlers, newspaper men and others in search of information r-garding the early settlement of Venango and Forest coun ties especially, as his brain was a perfect store house of lacts. At the Franklin centennial ho was selected to designate the locatiou of the old forts at that place, a commission of which he was especially proud, and during the paiade there be rode in tbe old tally ho coach with a bod of old settlers, with the old trunk be had brought here as a boy. In him has passed away one of the few men of this section who saw tue last caiuptires of the Indians disappear Irom the bills and valleys of Northwestern Pennsylvania, saw the settlers coming by tho "old French road," saw tho welcome smoke from the chimneys of the white man's cabin rising among the trees, "the son ol the wilderne-s retire before the sxe and the garden supplant tho thicket," oil flowing from the bills and valleys and nearly every important progress of the nineteenth century lake place In its turn. In short, he wis one of t ose hardy pin neers ho gave tone to this part of the Stat' and laid the foundation lor the happy condition of society that now ex ists.
