What with the mercury ranging up In the 70s and 80s during a large part of the past win ter, aud with snakes, toads and robins bestirring themselves in the month of January, it appeared as though we were going right olf into summer without so much as a la-te of our usually delightful winter weather, when along comes old Boreas and gives us a blast of his breath merely to warn us that things sro pot. as rosy as they might be. And now the river Is closed with Ico for -much of I lie distance between here and Oil City, and in many places solid enough to carry loaded teams. There's never any telling, we say. There has been some discussion re garding the constitutionality of the new road law passed by the last assembly. Judges have taken different views of tbe matter, but Judge Lindsey, upon a peti tion to the court by tbe residents of El dred township has made an order per mitting that tho mutter come to a vote at the next election, says the Warren Mir ror. The law authorizes the court to make such un order providing that the petitiou contain the signatures of 25 citi zens. The question to be determined at the next election is whether the taxpay ers shall pay in money the entire amount of the assessed road tax or bo allowed to work out a portion of it. The result of tho election shall determine the question for every taxpayer of the township, and it will not be optional with a taxpayer, as heretofore, to either pay all In oash or work out a portion of the tax.

Duelling House Destroyed and Mother and Child Seriously Burned. The dwelling house of Perry 8. Moore, on his farm at the mouth of Jugbandle run, on Tlones'a creek, Kingsley town ship, about eight miles fiom Tionesta, was totally destroyed by fire last Wednes day noon with all Its contents, and it was only through the heroism of Mrs. Moore that their baby boy was saved from a terrible death. The house was a com fortable two-story frame building and the family of Mr. and Mrs. Moore consists of a daughter, aged six yrars, and two sous, one aged four years and the other one year and eight months. Mr. Moore was absent for tbe day at work in the woods and about noon Mrs. Moore went to the barn to let the cattle out, leaving tho two older children at play in tbe kitchen and the baby asleep in a locking chair in the sitting room. She had been at tbe barn only a few minutes when tbe daughter called to her that the house was filling up with smoke. By this time the flames were breaking through the roof. Thinking only of her imperilled children the brave inothor ran to the bouse and as alio passed through the kitchen she sent the two older children out of tbe build ing, When she opened the sitting room door a wall of lire coming from the stair way barred her progress. She could hear the baby crying aud without a moment's hesitation dashed through the flames to the chair bed, the clothing of which was on fire. Clasping the baby in her arms she again passed through the flames and out by the door by which she entered. She was compelled to roll in the snow to extinguish tbe fire in ber own aud the baby's clothes. Gathering the children and wrapping the baby in an overcoat which fortunately was banging out ou a clotheslines, tbe mother and children crossed Tionesta creek on tbe ice and walked a half mile to the home of Nelson Moore, where Dr. Detar, of Kellettvllle, was summoned to attend thorn. Tbe baby was seriously burned about the face and bands, but at last accounts was im proving and will recover. Mrs. Moore was badly burned on tbe hands, face and shoulders, her dress beiog burned to the skin. In this condition and without any wraps for herself and the older children, she was compelled to walk in tbe bitter cold to the brotbor's bouse. Not a thing was saved from the bouse and Mr. Moore places his loss on the building and con tents ut (1,000, on which there was no insurance. Mr. Moore's aged mother made her home with them, but fortu nately was visiting at Nebraska on the day of the fire. The loss is a very heavy one' for Mr. Moore, who is an honest and hard working citizen. At the solicitation of Rev. W. O. Calhoun and others tbe good people of Nebraska, Kellettvllle, Whig Hill and Tlonesta have come nobly to the rescue with gifts of cash, furniture( clothing, etc., and tbe family will soon be comfortably located in a smaller bouse which stood near the burned one. We understand Mr. Moore will rebuild iu the spring. A Sad Accident. Last Thursday about about ten o'clock a sad and what may yet prove to be a very serious accidont occurred at this place, the victim being Arthur Frost. He was off-bearing in the mill, while the edgermau put a twelve foot plank iu tbe edger making 2x4, three wide. The plunk had gone out of his sight and be thought It bad gone through on its way to the trimmer, and as be was reaching for another piece be beard an unusual noise, and like a shot the three 2x4s went by him. At a distance of sixty feet Mr. Frost was working. The one piece curvad enough to strike Mr. Frost a tremendous blow on the left limb below the hip joint, shattering the bone and making a flesh wound as large as a man's fist, and throwing hint across the car riage track. This happened when Earl Cutlin, the sawyer, was back turning a log. He started the carriage for the saw at a speedy gait, and only by chance did he notice Mr. Frost lying in front of the carriage. He reversed the carriage in an instant. Had it gone two feet farther Mr. Frost would have heeu crushed In two. The 2x4 scantling ruu to a point. This was pulled out by Emmett Wood, who was injured in like manner about eight mouths before, of which note was made iu the paper at the time. Tbe wounded man was carried to the Central Pennsyl vania Lumber Co.'s office, where bis wounds were dressed by Drs. Brewer and Yiugling. In the afternoon he was removed to the Warren hospital, accom panied by Dr. Yiugling. At the present writing it is unknown whether the limb can be saved, but we hope for the best. Arthur cortainly has hud hard luck; ho was one of the typhoid fever victims and had ouly worked a few weeks since re covering. He and his family have the sympathy of the entire community.
