The base balT season was practically closed in (his place last Saturday and a disastrous closolng it wa, too, for tho home team, which went up into the air at the beginning and stayed there until the end of the game. The opposing team was from Tldioute, which had leceived three straight wallopings at the hands of Tionesta this season. But things were different this time, and they slugged tho ball for upward ff twenly safe hit-s, which with the errors of the locals, and rocky work generally, netted them 21 runs to Tionesta' s 7. A. M. Allon, of Lottsville, Warren county, on Thursday sold ten pine trees on his bind for ?I,000. The sale empha sizes the need of the efforts of the State Forestry Commission to preserve the forests. When Mr. Allen was a hoy his father cleared off the 200 acres that com prised his farm and left ten small pine shrub to grow as ornaments to the grounds around the house. The trees thrived, and now, when the son has reached an old age, have been sold for a sum tl at exceeds the value of the entire 200 acres at the time they were cleared by the father. A very absent minded farmer resid ing near Corry, was returning homo from that towu whon tho thought struck him that ho had forgotlon something. He took out his note book, went over every Item, checked it oft', and saw that lie had made all the purchases he had intended. As he drove on he could not put aside tho feeding that there was something missing. He look out bis note book and checked off every article again, but still found no mistake. He did this several times, but could not dismiss the idea that he must havo forgotten something. Whon he ar rived home and drove up to the bouse his daiightorcame out to meet him, and with a look of surprise asked, "Why, whore's maw?" A public school teacher is reported to have received the following letter from the latherofa pupil: "Sir: Will you in Hie future give my son easier soms to do at nites? This is what he brought hoam two or thre nites back : If lore gallons of here will fill thirty to pint bottles, how many p!nts and half bottles will nine gal lons of here fill? Well wo tried and could make nothin' of it ot al, and my Irpy cried and laughed, and said lie didn't dure go back in tlio morn in' without do in' it. So I had to no and buy a nine gal Ion kpg of here, which I could ill all'ord to do, and then bo went and borrowed lot of wine and brandy bottles. We fill them and my boy put tho number down fur an answer. I don't know whether it is riht or not, as we spilt soVio doin' it. P. S. Please let the sums be in water, as I am not able to buy more bere."

Ritchey, Eq., attorney for the plaintiffs, who are the two baoks of this place. The prico paid was f 1,100, this bid being subject to a prior mortgage of $ t,2no. It is altogether probable the proper'y will be sold to some practical partii s who have tho experience and capital to lake bold of the plant and make it pay a good revenue. It is one of the finest plants in tlie United Statet, so claimed by experienced judges, a'ld there is not the least doubt but that it can be made a source of revenuo to the right parties, The Titusvillo Herald announces that there is to be a macadamized road in the near future between Titusville and Hyde town. The cost is roughly estimated at $15,000, and the State will assist in footing the bill, according to the provisions of the Sproul road, law, passed at the last ses sion of the Legislature. State Highway Commissioner Hunter has been in Titus ville looking over the situation and the work will begin about November 1st. As t!;e distance between the two towns is about Ave miles it would mean that the road-making is to cost about $3,000 per mile, at which rule it will likely bo some time before the new system becomes suf ficiently popular to be adopted through out the several counties of the Stale.

The authorities are tracing the spread of typhoid fever to infected milk. In dealing with this subject the Philadelphia Inquirer says; "The facts seem clear and are in accordance witli the known fact that milk is the best "host" tu the world for the development of almost ev ery sort of bacteria. It has been found that insido of a day under favorable con ditions one million bacteria will form in a drop of milk the size of a pin-head. It sterns impossible that such minute crea tures should be dangerous, but nothing Is more cei tain than that they are the au thors of much of the disease which af llicts mankind. The purest milk is that which is direct from the cow. If the milk Is kept at about fifty degrees the develop ment of bacteria is slow and is propor tionately more rapid as the temperature rises until IliO is reached, when they aie killed. A camp of Sons of V eterans was or ganized in this city last Wednesday eve ning, starting with a charter member ship of 27, which is quite a remarkable showing for a beginning, and augers well for the success of tho new organization.

Watson farm is the centre of base balj interest in that section, and somo lively games have been played at that place during the summer. Betweeu Saturday evening and Monday morning last a game was played at that place bc tweon Watson Farm and Brookstou nines that drew a large crowd. The Watson Farm club had won a previous game and the Brookston team was after them to win this time. The score was 33 to 15 in favor of Brookston, which would indicate that the base runners were worked over time and the olllclal scorer was kept busy. Sheffield Observer. There is something sensiblo and old-fashioned-like about a game of this sort, and if a fellow has any United Mates blood In his veins he's bound to get excited i.t a game where they do something. Some of our citizens will recollect a game of real base ball played in Oil City 'way back in the '(Mis between a Tionesta uino and one of that city, in which tlie score stood 10 to i3 in favor of the Oil Cityites. That was play ing ball, don't you forget it. A Surprised Parson. Last.Frieay evening the Presbyterian parsonage was invaded by upward of thirty of the gentlemen friends and as sociates of the Rev. R.

Somo of the ladies of the congregation were in the scheme also, and had prepared a tempting lunch for tlie occasion w hich was discussed w ith zest and the utmost promptitude. Prior to this diversion, however, the pastor was presented w ith a handsome Morris reclining chair, Judge Irwin, in his in imitable manner, making the speech ol presentation.

Not returning w ithin a rea sonable hour, his wifo went to the well and found Mm lying deail, beside it. Death must havo been instantaneous, as when he was lound the dipper was clutched firmly in his hand. Mr. Ram sey had suffered from heart trouble for many years, and'that was undoubtedly the cause of his death.
