The sixth annual reunion of the Os good Frmily will be held this year as usual at the old homestoad, near Starr, on Saturday, Sept. 5th, and a pleasant time is anticipated by those who will be fortu nate enough to bo there. As the business meeting Is to be held at 11 o'clock, it is hoped all members of tho family will be there at that hour. The death of William II. Osterhout, one of Ridgway's most prominent citi zens, on the 11th lust., has caused most profound grief in that city, where he had been identified with about every import ant in ustry for the past thirty years. He leaves a widow but no children. He would have been 71 years of 8ge had he lived till the 17th Inst. Archio Porter, of Grand Valley, but who is working on a shingle mill near Endeavor, had bis left hand badly las- cerated by the bolter saw Monday of this week. A cash about six Inches long and involving the knuckle of the index fin ger was cut in the back of the hand. Dr. Will Motrow, who attendod him, thinks the entire hand can be saved. --Again it may not be out of order to call attention to the fact that the sidewalk leading Irom the river bridge t- the Fisher lot, on tho most traveled street in Tionesla, is the worst walk In town, and the most dangerous and disgraceful that the town has ever pormited to thus re main. If there should be an . accident at that point who would be responsible? Commissioner Ware, of the Bureau of pensions, has notified the G. A. R. Posts throughout Pennsylvania to be on the lookout for a smooth swindler who is working a clever scheme, seeking pen sioners as his victims. He represents himself as a physician In the employ of the governmnnt, aud makes what pur ports to be medical examinations. His fee ranges from $3 to $10. Mrs. G. H.

Everybody is invited. There's promise of a lively time on the Tionesta ball field next Friday, when the Ladios' Rase Rail club of St. Louis are billed to play with the home team. This aggregation is said to be a very strong one, and has defeated most all the amateur clubs against whom they have played, so it is calculated there will be a tine game, possibly the best that has been pullod off here this season. Don't fail to see it all. The annual reunion of the North western Association, G. A. R., Dep't of Pennsylvania, will be held at Con Meant Lakoon Wednesday, August 20th. Oil City people are trying to arrange for a special train and if successful it is ex pected the attendance from this section will be very large. It all depends upon how much of a guarantee the railroad companies will insist upon as to whether a special will be run. For the benefit of those desiring to attend the State Camp of Pennsylvania, Patriotic Order Sons of America, to bo held at Lancaster, Pa.. August 24 to 28, tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company will sell round trip tickets to Lancaster and return, August 21 to 27, inclusive, good lo return until August 29, inclusive, from all stations on its lines in tho s'ate of Pennsylvania, at roduced rales (mini mum rate, 25 cents). It One of tho bugbears of old time peo ple is night air and there is little exag geration in saying the superstition against night air has killed more people than the free circnla'ion of it has ever injured. There Is abundance of proof that nijht air is injurious to no one. On the con trary, people who sleep out doors under the mere protection of a tent are the heart iest of all people, aud the practice has largely gained in popularity of late years, under wider knowledge of hygiene, lor people in delicate health to go out iu camping parties and breathe the balsam ol the night air. Many counties in the State are dis cussing the good roads law and preparing to take advantage of it, but few have as yet complied with the conditions, which are tomewliat exacting. The greatest stumbling block seems to be 'he require ment that applicants shall file, maps showing all the roads in each county. Commissioner of Highways Hunter, who is now mapping out plans to put the new law In operation, will take no action on tho applicatiou of any county for State aid until all have been heard from, iu or der to got the length of milea each county wants improved, and then the al lotment will be inado in proportion until tho appropriation is exhausted. Warren Roro will bo sued by D. E. Lynch and wife, of llroeton, N. Y., but who lived iu Richland, Pleasant two,, last winter, Mr. Lynch boihg employed iu f. E. Blair's store. Many of our readers will remember the sa l accident when about (I p. m. ol a winter's day when the 5-year-old boy and his mother were crossing the suspension bridge to meet the father, when the boy's foot slipped on tho icy walk and he fell through the bridge into the water, his body being found under the ico a few rods below the next forenoon. Negligence is claimed and damages to amount of $10,000 aie wanted. Tho bridge, wo are glad to note, is now in safo condition, side rails I cing added and the holes closed. Mail A correspondent writing from Broc' ton, N. Y., aays that "there will not be more than 40 per cent.of a full grape crop this fall. This means a little less than 60 per cent, of last year's crop, which was only about 70 per cent of the full crop, On the basis of about 7,000 carloads for a lull crop, the entire output this year will be less than 3,000 cars. About one-third of this fall's crop will probably be used in the belt by the various wine and grape concerns, leaving not more than 2,000 cars for shipment." This will bo sufficient! however, to plug up all tho virniiform appendixes within the scope of the grape belt delivery, and no one should bo ser iously alai med at the reported shortage of the crop. Robert Harger of Golinza, attended the Pleasantvillo camp meeting last Sun day, returning home Monday morning on his bicycle. Coming down the steep grade near the Temperance House he ran into a batch of stones that had been pounded into tho road and partially ob scured by sand, and his wheel got the better of him, thiowing him headlong over the handle bais onto his face. He lay unconscious for some time aud when he "came to" he had a pretty bad looking countenance, but he was able to continue his iourney, although a little belated. Bob had to explain to his friends that he wasn't Corbett, but had the appearance ol having gone through a similar exper ience, and that too without getting any share of the gate receipts. A change has taken place in the firm of Scowdun iC Clark, hardware mei chants and carriage and wagon makers, the lat ter retiring and disposing of hia intorest in the business to his partner. This substantial firm has done business id Ti onesta uninterruptedly for over seven teen years, during which period it has, by fair dealing and strictly honest work, built up a fine trade, and which Mr. Scnwdoii will continue, adding lo the business as the trade may demand aud depending on the same course of fair dealing and honest woik to merit tne continued patronage of the public, Mr. Clark, tho retiring member of the film, has not determined on his course iu business as yot, but will doubtless branch out In other lines in the near future. Th best wishes of all our people for contin ued success noes with both gentlemen. A Period A flair. Word comes from nc ar Seigle, Jeffer son county , of an affair that might have ended in murder. A man named King was having a quarrel with his wife one day last week, w hen two y uing neighbor girls, hearing the racket, went near the house to see or hear what was going on. The man seeing the children took a shot gun and fired at them, the shot taking ef fect in the arm of one girl and in the leg ol the other, It Is said both will recover. The girls were aged about 10 and 13 years respectively, and are children of Mr. Welsh, who, with his wife and other chil dren, is at present staying at Gmnder viilo, where he has a log-cutting job, and the little girls above referred to were loft at home to look after tho household af fairs. King claimed that tho girls were stealing his potatoes, but an examination of the patch failed to disclose any moles tation ol it. More Burglarious Attempts. An attempt to burglarize the Tionesta post olllce was thwarted by the watchful ness of night policeman Wm. Hunter at an rarly hour Monday morning. When Mr. Hunter came down street on one of his rounds, about two o'clock iu the morning, he discovered the front door of tho oflico standing opn. Suspecting something wrong he closed the door and awakened Postmaster Knox, who lives with Mr. Smearbaugh's family directly opposite the office. Before they got back to the olllce the burglars were gone, hav ing been frightened away no doubt when the door was closed. An inspection of the premises by those who had by this time been aroused and gathered about, showed that tho front door had been pried open with a pick, the same having been purloined from Will Hunter's barn, across the river, as was afterward dis covered. With the same implement the inside door was pried open, and the thieves were ovidently about to begin op erations when watchman Hunter came upon them. A bottle containing some fluid supposed to be nitroglycerine and alcohol, and wrapped in a piecw of old damask table-cloth, was found standing on a chair near the large safe. A smaller sale in the odice, but not locked, had been swung open, but it contained nothing of value. Nothing olse about the building had been disturbed, and no val uables taken. A door in the rear of the office had been opened to permit of es cape in case of surprise. Will Hunter of the West Side found evidence in his barn that lead to tho con clusion that three men slept there during the night, and the fact that the pick was taken from there makes it pretty certain that the burglars had their rendezvous there. Watchers were stationed at differ ent ways leading out of town, but no dis covery of suspicious poisons was made by any of tho parties. Before this could be done, however, tho burglars bad time to make good their escape. This sort of nefarious business Is get ting rather monotonous in this vicinity, and should be stopped. The trouble is that people are too easily lulled to sleep after rue of these raids, while they should bo more watchful. Catch some of the devils and put them out of commission. It will have a salutary effect on tho rest. Loiter to (. Jumiesou. TioneMa, Pa. Dear Sir : It's an.old saying : the best advertisement is a pleased customer. It happens to us continually iu this way: A man buys Devoe for his house ho has painted it once in throe year for a dog's-ago, and thinks ho knows what he wants buys 30 gallons and has 10 lefl. He sees right oft' that 20 Devoe is as much as 30 anything else. Ho likes that; it comes quick ; it is a surprise; and he tells of it. The host advertisement is a pleased customer. Thrco years roll round. There isn't a sign that his house needs paint, ho don't paint it. Next year ho don't paint it. This comes slow ; it is a surprise; but he has got used to it. Still the best ad vertisement is a pleased customer. Yours truly, F. W. Dkvok A Co., 2 New York. P. S. Jac D. Davis sells our paint. T0U AND YOUtt FRIENDS. J. II.

The papers north aud east of this local ity are giving interesting sketches of Isaac Family, the last of a group of fa mous hunters, trappers and woodsmen of Northern Pennsylvania, who settled in that region when it was an unbroken wilderness, and who died in McKean county recently, aged !K) years. He was a hunter while elk, wolves and pantheis were yet plentiful in the Pennsylvania forests. In a statement made by him a few years ago, he said ho had killed 47 elk, 32 panthers, more wolves than he could remember, 400 bears, aud more than 3,ikj0 deer, all on the watersheds of the Allegheny and Susquehanna. Family was loud of relating a certain wolf experieuo of his. One day he sur prised two wolves devouring a deer he had killed, pur-ued them into a cave, shot one, and killed the other with a knife alter a desperate light. Parmly was in at the death, 40 years ago, of the last elk in Pennsylvania, which was fol lowed Irom Flag swamp, in Elk county, to the headwaters of tho Clarion river, and killed thereby Parmly, Indian Jim Jacobs, Selli Nelson and George Parker, Franklin Spectator. - - When a man wants to find fault ho is willing to spend all bis liuio looking for it il necessary.
