Up at Marlenvllle the gun club has Inaugurated the gold me 1st system for the season. The medal is contested for every week, the one winning to have the pleasure of wearing it during that week.

Merle Brewster, quite well known among the young people of Tionesta, having been employed here for some time, died at the homo of his parents in Tylersburg on the 4tn Inst., of typhoid fever, which he had contracted In Pitts- buig only about ten days prior. His last em ploy iii-n t here was at the Anderson itO'Ilara barber t-hop. He was aged about 21 years. "Can you tell me what sort of weath er we may expect next month T" wrote a farmer to the editor of his county paper, and the editor replied as follows: "It is my beliof that the weather next month will be very much like your subscrip tion bill." The farmer wnndored for an hour what the editor was driving at when he happenod to think of the word "unset tled." He sent check. Amount of sleep required : A 4-year- old requires 12 hours, one of 7 years, 11 hours; of 12 years 10 hours, and of 1(1 or 18, 9 hours. After that 7 or 8 hours Is sutllcient until after 60; then the hours should be increased gradually with each decade, as theattu or woman of 80 re quires as much sleep as a child of 10. And it should he remembered that the most health-giving beauty-making time Is early. If the spring has been a back ward one and It has been, surely the past few days of warm weathor have made up for a good deal of the backwardness, as it has been almost possible to see the verdure push ahead. Leaves on many of the trees are quite well formed where a week ago the buds had scarcely begun to swell, and lawn mowers are brought into requisition where the grass was still grey ten days prior. Never were these signs more wel come. For tho first time in its history the State hospital lor the insane at North Warren now supplies its own milk. The Institution uses 1)50 quartsa day and this is supplied by a herd of 65 cows. Tho saving this made amounts to several thousand dollars each year. The hospital farm was never in a more flourishing condition. Last year more vegetable were raised than could be utilized and it was necessary to sell a quantity this spring. Charles Breckinridge, a prominent resident of Franklin, was shot by a burg lar who had entered his home and with whom he engaged in a struggle, at an early hour Tuesday morning. The ball entered the left breast about an inch above the nipple and passed entirely through his body, coming out under the left shoulder blade. He was living at last accounts, but his recovery is very doubtful. The burglar escaped and has not bei n apprehended. The six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Yutes, of Sheffield, foil from a foot-bridge over the Tionesta creek at that place Saturday afternoon into a few inches of water. In falling, however, the child struck her bead against a stone and was stunned. She landed face downward in the shallow water, from which she could easily have walked under ordinary circumstances, and drowned before assist ance reached her. The fuueral was held from the home of the parents Monday aftornoon. There are those who lay claim to catching tine strings of trout, but -it al ways is well to take these stories with just a few grains of salt. Alter ail it's the eating of tho pudding that proves it, and that's just what happened the other day when Sheritr Noblit laid a nice dozen on the editor's table, as a guarantee of good faith. We can vouch that the Sher iff did not break the law as to the length of the boauties,for they all sized up to the situation, with several considerably be yond the requirement. Thanks, George, The Lady Maccabees held a surprise party last Saturday evening at the home ol Lady Minnie Bowman in honor of their departing chaplain. Lady Mary Swansou, who leaves for Jamestown, N.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Win. Richards of May burp, were held Friday, the interment taking place iu tho Ziiomlel church yard at Starr. Mr. Albaugh desires to secure good homes for four of his children two boys and two girls all under seven yeais of ago. A correspondent writing from Mill Creek, this county, says: "I have seen the farmers of this neighborhood plowing on New Year's day, have driven eight miles In a bob aled drawn by a team of horses on April 8th, have seen butterflies on the wing In February and have mowed clover In a snow storm so severe that I could not see a farm house 40 rods away. I have seen frogs and toads mov ing about the ground on November 0 and have sowed grass se d on top of four or live Inches of snow on May 0, but never saw Bucb weather as that ot tho past 12 months. Sharpsyllle Advertiser. At 6 o'clock Monday morning fire was discovered In the engine rcom of the Tlouesta turnery, located atMcNalrtown, upper Sheffield. The flames communi cated totheyardssnd before they were got ten under control damage to the extent ol frlO.OOO to f lO.000 resulted. The greatest loss was to the hides, of which 1,600 weie destroyed. Two frame tuildings. util ized for the storage of hides, were con sumed and two steam engines used lor the bark mill were badly damaged. The company will immediately rebuild the destroyed portion of the plant. The Penn Tanning Company, by which the Tionosta tannery is owned, carry their own insurance, and consequently the loss falls entirely upon the trust. Excellent authorities agree that in a thunderstorm, and notwithstanding the cold and backward spring, violent elec tric disturbances may come at any time, the middle of a room is much the safest place In the bouse. A carpeted floor, or one coyered by a thick rug, Is better to stand on than bare wood. It is well to keep away from chimneys and out of cel lars. In the open air tall trees are dan gerous. A person sheltered under a low tree or shrub 30 or 40 feet from a large and lofty tree, is quite safe. If lightning strikes in the immediate vicinity, it will hit the high tree as a rule, with few ex ceptions. Water Is a very good conduc tor, and it is well to avoid the batiks of streams in a violent thunderstorm. Jlayhiirjr. Miss Reece, of Sheffield, was a visitor at the Richards home this week.

The sudden death of Mrs. Peter Berry of Plumer, caused real sorrow at May burg, Balltown, and Poiky, where she had lived so long. Mr. Berry has our deop sympathy in this his hour of trial. Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Richards attended the funeral. Mrs. Berry was Mrs. R.'s aunt. Rev. Zahniser is away attending gen eral quarterly meeting at Youngsville, Pa. There are rumors of the mill shutting down for a few weeks for repairs. Improvements and general cleaning up, plowing gardens and fields, road work, Ac., gives the burg a very busy appeal ance. Morb Anon. Forest Fire Fighting. The State Forestry Commission is ex perimenting with a new system of ex tinguishing forest fires. The new meth od consists of kegs containing ten gallons of water, which will be played upon the fires by means of a force pump. The kegs are to be conveyed to the scene of the conflagration on the backs of horses and the water will be used along the back-fire line to dampen the leaves and other inflammable material and for put ting out tires in old stumbs and logs. It is expected that two kegs of water will protect nearly a mile of fire line. This method of fighting forest fires would, in the main, be much cheaper than that now in vogue by fire wardens. If the water were to be available at the beginning of a blaze many of the exten sive fires that sweep over the mountains in spring and summer could be prevent ed. The commission's apparatus would be of no practical benefit in some parts of tho State, where horses would find it im possible to reach the fire line, but where it could be employed to advantage it would be a most excellent substitute for the weagons tne fire fighters now use.

Devoe is the standard ; mark it 100. The next best there are several not far apart are three-quarter paints; you may mark them 75 to Df voe's KM). The bulk of the paints in market are 40 or 50 or 60; a few are better than 60; a few are worse than 40. How do they act? They cover from one to three-quarters as much as Devoe; and they last from one to three-quarters as long as Devoe. What are they worth T The samo rule don't hold; it costs more to put on some paints than they are worth ; they are not worth snythiug ; the "put-on" costs two or three times as much as the paint.

The Derrick of the 5th Inst, contains the following account of the death of a former Foiest county lady whose hus band is well known in the county, and whose friends will be saddened by the news and will share in the grief wbicb has come so suddenly to him. Mrs. Anna L. Berry, wife of Hon. Peter Berry, whose home is on the Plumer road about eigiit miles Irom Oil City.died suddenly and alone on the public road about a half mile from her home on Tues day night. Her dead body was found by her husband shortly before midnight. Mr-, Berry, who was a uiost hospitable woman, left her home ou Tuesday after noon to take supper with and visit Mrs. John Russell, of Pluiner. She lelt the Russell residence at 8:30 o'clock and be fore 0:00 passed a young man of that neighborhood near where hr dead body was found. She spoke to him and seem ed to be in good health. The family dog II iu res strangely in the discovery of her death. The husband heard the animal whine and hark and noticed that he was running between the barn and the house frequently between 9 o'clock and 11 p. in., but up to the latter hour paid no par ticular attention to his actions. At 11 o'clock be f ecame alarmed over the long continue I absence of bis wife, who ex pected to be home about 9 o'clock, and decided to walk down the road to meet her. The dog met him by the front door and by his actions plainly showed that he wanted Mr. Berry to follow him. Mr. Berry followed him to the barn and there found the family horse and buggy that had been taken away that aftornoon by bis wile. He and his hired man got into the buggy and drove towards Plummer and halfway between his home and that of the Romcr family found the dead body ol bis wife lying near a small stream that crosses the wagon road. She had taken off her collar and pinned it to the bosom of her dress and loosened her dress at the waist. For some time past Mrs. Berry had been sull'ering at shot t periods from heart trouble, especially when In an over- hestod room, It is supposed that she was seized by one of these attacks and got out ol the buggy to bathe her head and neck at the small stream in the hope of relieving the pain and died before she could carry out this in'ention. Every ef fort was made to revive her, but the physician who was called after her body had been taken to the family residence stated she had been dead fur some time from heart disease. Mrs. Berry was born at Lock port, N. Y., and was 4:i years of age. She had been a resident ol this vicinity for about 12 years, coming here with her husband, who is a well-known oil producer, from Forest county, in which county ho was elected a member of the State legislature. Site was a woman of unusually amiable qualities, neighborly, kind and cheer ful, and few in this vicinity had so many warm personal friends, She was notably devoted to her family and was a value. I and active member of the Rouse villeM.E. church. Besides her hus band, Hon. Peter Berry, she is survived by two children : Leon T., at home, and Miss Ada Berry, who is attending Alle gheny College at Meadville, and who ar rived here yesterday forenoon in response to a telephone message informing her of the sudden death of her mother. Funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Plumer, at 2 o'clock Satur day afternoon and were largely attended. Rev. Thos. R. Thoburn, ol the Oil City M. E. church officiated, and the remains were laid to rest in Grove Hill cemetery, Oil City. 'Ttvonld iMake Your Mouth Water. En. Republican : May 3, 11)01, as I bad a few hours of time on my hands, I thought I would take a try for trout, and as the "Lower Sheriff" is among the ideal trout streams of Forest county, I concluded to try it. I arrived at the mouth of the stream in the afternoon and as I drew up in front of Jack Foley's home I was greeted by Jack himself with a hearty " Hello! there, George; what are you after now ?" I an swered, "Well, Jack. I thought I would try for a few trout in this stream, and would like to stop with you all night." "All right, George. I will put yonr horse away. Go rlglit over to the house and get ready for a two hours' fish before supper. I know you will get a few if you are careful." I did so and the result of fishing in tho evening was something between 13 and 20 nice trout. I was somewhat late for supper, but I had the satisfaction ol getting very hungry, and on my arrival at Jack's, after the fishing, I hid one of the best suppers that ever a hungry man sat clown to. Mrs. Foley certainly can get up a meal to fit the ap petite of the average fisherman. Next morning I was up by hall' past five, (some- something unusual, by the way) and was digging bait out of Mr. Beardsley'a gar den, and by tho time 1 had a good sup ply of worms, breakfast was ready, alter which I started up the stream. After walking up stream for about a mile, or until I had gotten above the oil wells, I concluded to drop In and try for one. I was not surprised to have a strike The result was a 10-lnch trout, for which I felt very grateful. Did you ever enjoy land ing a 10-inch trout up on the limb of a tree eight or ten feet above ground T If you did you know how I felt when I sat down on the ground and caught my breath and had the satisfaction of know ing he was mine. All that was necetsary for me to do was get him down off that limb, which I did by using a dead branch, which I hooked over the limb and drew down. Oh, I have you, my beauty t Say, if you want to enjoy a good fishing trip, and want to gut next to nature, just go up on either of the two Sheriff and you can have one ol tho most enjoyable experien ces of your lil'o. I arrived homo about 8 o'clock iu the evening of the 4tli with 63 of those gamiest of llsli trout, i. w. n. Farm For Sale.
