The "dry spell'' through which we have just passed is beyond the ken of the oldest Inhabitant, wbo is unable to recall the time when the streams and wells have reached so low an ebb at this timo of the year. Farmers are having dilliculty in finding onongli water for their stock, and wells that have neyer failed are showing signs of weakuoss. The showers of Sun day did much toward freshening up veg etation, but has mado little perceptible difference in springs snd small streams, which need replenishing greatly.

He reports tbe fover patients In bis community getting along nicely with tbe exception of one, wbo is still in a critical condition. There are no new cases, and tbe people are hoping that the epidemic has run its course. Aclorgyman preached a rather ex haustive sermon from the text: "Tbou art weighed in the balanue and found wanting." After the congregation bad listened about an hour some began to get weary and went out; others followed, greatly to the annoyance of the minister.

A lady reader gives us tbe following recipe for preserving sweet corn, which produces an article superior to both tbe canned and dried product: Boll corn on ear till milk sots, cut from cob and mix thoroughly with salt at the rate of one pint of salt to four of corn; pack Injarand cover with cloth and plate. Salt should bo soaked out beforo cooking. Corn pre served lu this way keeps Its flavor re markably well and is also tender. Ex, One of our exchanges says: It may sound a trifle startling, but It is said to be true, that more young men are learning trados In the penitentiaries than out of them, because parents are trying to make clerks, doctors, lawyers and even preach ers out of materials intended for carpen ters, blacksmiths and other trades.

Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock tbo body of Sylvoster Eakin, of Pinevllle, near Pleasantville, was found ou the road near Nellltown. Mr. Eakin, whose age was 48 years, was a teamster, and Wednes day was at work with bis team in tbe vl ciuity of Nellltown. The supposition is he sutfered a stroke of apoplexy and fell from his wagon. Tbe team bad stopped on the road a short distance beyond where the body of the owner was found. Fu neral services were held Saturday after noon, with Interment In the Nellltown cemetery. Tho deceased was well known in the western part of this county. Two enormous rattlesnakes were killed at the famous Wolfdeu haunt of these reptiles at Presidont on Sunday by C. A. Bnyer. One measured four feel six inches aud tbe second live feet. As the snakes were found within a yard or two of each other and were so nearly of one length it is supposed that they were mates. Mr, Boyer also has the distinc tion of killing a blacksnake In that same township this summer that measured seven feet six Inches. This monster had Its attention all upon devouring "some young birds in a nest In a tree when a blow on its back a foot or two above tbe tall broke tbe vertebra and made a com pletion of its extinction easy, Oil City Derrick, 25th. Quoting a humane minister, an ex change prints tbe following: "The reason why flies are always buzzing around tbe heads of horses Is the accumulation of filth. I have no such trouble. Efery morning I wash out all refuse matter that may collect in tbe eyes and nose of my horse, and tbe effect Is charming. It not only renders the horse more comfortable, but it removes all dirt that would attract (lies. Try it and see how it works. Your horse may at first be a little nervous, but after he knows what it means ami enjoys the ablution he will expoct to have his face washed every morning In the sum uier time. It takes but little time, and the result obtalnod well pays for tbe work. You like to have cold water on your face In tho morning, and so does your horse. The good Lord made water to be used for the benefit of both man and beast. Would that the former used more of it. Howard Kelly, who drives a rather spirited horse, had an exciting time ol it last Wednesday forenoon when starling to drive to Titusville. Meeting tho huge steam roller intended for service- on tbe new state road near Tylersburg, which was passing through town and pulling along Elm street, Howard's horse took fright and made a dash for liberty. About tho rlrst spang the buggy came in contBct with a telephone pole and in a jiffy both front wheels were taken off, letting the front of tbe vehicle drop to the gionnd ami run on the hubs. In this fishion the thoroughly frightened animal took How ard up the street at terrific speed, but bo clung to the lines and succoeded in stop ping the horse at theorosslng at Hopkins' store. The only damage done was tn loss of tho two buggy wheels and some si iglit cuts on the horse's hools, Howard miraculously escaping without Injury but the runaway looked frightful while it lasted tn those wbo witnessed it. He re sinned his trip to Titusville, but in a dif ferent oulllt, aud took In tbe races at that nlace. which were conducted in a more orderly inauner. -The Republican bad a call yesterday mornluor from Mr. A. McMlchael. wbo, with bia daughter, Miss Jennie, is paying a visit to relatives and old Iriends in this section. Mr. McMlchael resides at North Platte, Nebrask a, to which state be moved with his family nearly thirty years ago, this being his 11 rst visit to bis old home since then. He notes many changes, but is enjoying bis visit very much, and especially the meeting of old friends or bis younger days. Our town is taking on two new citi zens this week. Samuel H. sigworm, wbo recently bought the plumbing and tinning store of F. R. Lanson, is moving hia family from Leeper. and will occupy tbe Randall property, corner of Elm and inland street. Mr. Kcppei, eugageu in lumbering near Nebraska for tbe past couple years, is moving into the Weuk house, formerly occupied by O. . Miles. Both families are worthy acquisitions to our town and we welcome tbem as citl- zona. Friends in this community were made aware of the doath of J. Wesloy Ball, who will be remombered by many as a former citizen or xionesia, lhu are wholly without particulars at present. He was resident of Jamestown, N. Y., but bad gone to California some months ago to recuperate bis health after a severe illness last winter, and tbe last beard from him he was improving rapidly, so his demise must have come suddenly and unexpectedly. His funeral was held yesterday. Mr. Ball was aged about 64 years, and loaves a wife, two sons and two daughters, living In Jameatown. He was a brother of our townsman, Will N. Ball, and the oldest of the family of the late Nelson G. Ball, of East Hickory. Cadwallader Biddle, Secretary and General A(.ent for the State Board of Charities, has been making his annual rounds of the charity and correotionary Institutions of the state, and on Saturday paid the Forest county Institutions a vi9it At tbe county home he expressed him self as greatly pleased at tbeconditlou of things, complimenting the Steward aud Matron, Mr. and Mrs. F. Wenk, on tbe clouniy, comfortable and neat appearance of tbe home, its inmates and surround ings. Tbe same condition was found to exist when Mr. Biddle reached tho ooiin- tyjail, where he discovered tbat Sheriff and Mrs. Stroup kept things in such ap ple-pie order tbat be bad no suggestions to offer. It must be reuiembored tbat the Agent gives no warning of his coining to these institutions, and finds the condi tions as they exist every day in the year. Forest county ranks with tbe best iu the state In the matter of her charity work. Claringtoii. Our town was visited or rather taken by a band of gypsies aud they almost broke up two or three fa miles. But cooler judgment prevailed and since tbe leaving of tbe gypsies all are living hap pily. It was surely a red letter day in Clarington. They were fortune tellers of the Oriental type from tbe old country aud their charges were on a sliding scale, anywhere from three yards of calico to twenty aud a bottle of pop to a sandwich. They seemed to do a more lucrative bus iness In the stores but no one escaped, as all were givon a chance. Hazel and Nathan Brauch, of James town, N. Y., are visiting in town. Miss Somervllle and friend have gone back to their work in Mouongahela. Mrs. Mecbling and children and Miss Mechling are at Chautauqua for a couple of weeks. A couple of our younger politicians were up consulting tbe Demooraliccounty chairman last week. Squire Henderson, proprietor of tbe Henderson House, has been repairing and building porches. The young America went out to Green wood and beat the Greenwood boys In a game of ball last week, score 45 to 15. Not one of the boys can stand to have bis shirt collar buttoned too tight. Lone Creek park, on the Jetferson county side, has opened again, only run ning daylight sessions. Some think it is a branch of Tom Taggart'a Indiana Joint, Nevertheless it Is doing a good business. The friends of our barber have been uneasy about him, as he has been going down hill lately. It is hoped that he will recover soon. R. W. Brenneman, P.Royerand Ralph Mechling have a position with tbe Na tional Transit and are digging in every day. Base Ball. T1DIOUTB 10, TIONKSTA 2. Tbe Tlonesta bail team wenttoTidiouto last Saturday afternoon and what tbe ball tossors of that burg did to ours was a-plenty. About eighty of tbe loyal supporters of tbe team, Including large number of ladies, accompanied the boys to cheer tbem on to victory, but, well to make a long story short, they never got a chance to get started. Various ex cuses might be offered but what's the use of raking up tbo harrowing details. It is Bullloient to say that Tidioute played good ball and bunched their hits at tiie time Tlonesta was bunching some bad errors. Tionesta also bit the ball hard but did not have tho luck of their oppo nents in bunching thorn. The game was stopped in the sixth. Inning by a heavy rain storm.

From Paris. 17 Rub Boissonadk, ) Paris, France, July 17, 1900. J EniTon Rkpuiimcan : A visit to Cbantilly makes a charming day's out ing for the Parisian. Starting in tbe early morning, a 40 minute ride on tbe top of an omnibus takes us through an old and thickly populated section of the city to the railroad station. As we look down from our elevated perch, the narrow streets, intersecting in a bewildering way, show us many quaint and fascinat ing scenes. Venders of fruit, vegetables, flowers, toys, kitchen utensils, cheap pottery aud notions of all sorts line the pavements. One ambitious peddler has her little push cart covered with an um brella from one Bide of which Is suspend ed a sort of awning; this is movable aud so forms a shade on the sunny side; meantime the woman has protected her head witb a bonnet made of newspaper. In a small upon square are to or three booths and a merry-go-round, tbe seats being on the most melancholy looking monkeys, donkeys and pigs, and Hie whole affair workod by a fat little horse on the principle of a horse power thresh ing machine. In the windows of the but:her-shops are suspended the car casses of meat where thoy hang day and night unprotected from heat or flies, Tbere are practically no flies either here or in England, and even tho poorest stroets are beautifully clean. Reaching our train we are soon speeding through llelils yellow with the wheat harvest or green witb growing oats and rye. There are no fences or hedges aud the plots of the different crops are small, which gives a peculiar checker-hoard effect to the landscape. Everywhere at this season are the poppies sometimes like a sheet of flame In emerald setting, then sprin kled lixo red stars through the golden wheat tieldH. The valley ol tho Tiiive is crossotl by a high viaduct of fifteen arch es and skirting the edge of the forest we reach tbe town of Cbantilly, famous for several centuries as the residence of the Condes. The chateau, ouo of the most beautiful in France, was originally built about 15(10, but much of it was destroyed during the Revolution, Duke Henri d'Aumale, son of Louis Philippe, built the present beautiful structure, incor porating the remaining section of the original building. Here the Duke gath ered the priceless boirloomaof bis family, together with bis valuable collections of furniture, paintings and sculpture, aud bequeathed at his death both building and contents to the Institut of France. Tbe library Is especially beautiful, aud the great collection of books most inter esting, many of tbem datiug from tbe 11th and 12th centuries. One which at tracted our attention is a book of devo tions belonging to Henrietta of France, and bound by her in a close clotb woven of the hair of Charles 1st of England. On one side of the chateau is a broad moat in which are hundreds of aged carp. A guard on tbe bridge has a basket of huge rolls which visitors buy and throw to the fish which come in shoals to be fed. Tbey weigh from two to eight pounds, and fight like mad things for tho bread, often jumping entirely out of tbe water, and making a queer snapping noise. Tbe forest contains over 0,000 acres, and our way leads through its well kept paths and drives back to the station. July 14tb Is the French Fourth of July tbe anniversary of tbe destruction ol the castle-prison of the Bastile. Street dancing is the typical celebration of tbe National Fete, and the Municipal Council gives 100,000 franca ($20,000) for the inu sio. Small pavilions for the musicians are erected in many of the public squares, and hero tbe young people dnnce all day and all night. This year, tbe Fete being on Saturday, many danced most of the time for forty-eight hours. Their dance is a variety of valso with no "reversing," and they spin rouud and round like teetotum b as long aa the music lasts. Everyone is good natured and tbere is little or no disorder or drunkenness in spite of the vast amount of wine driuk iug. Tne streets and large buildings are elaborately decorated the public build ings being' especially attractive and fine fireworks furnished by the city are Bet off at various points along tho river in the evening, thousands of people gather ing on the bridges for tbe display. Tbe great event of the dav Is the mill tary review at Longchamps aud the last feature of it is most inspiring, when 3,500 cuirassiers make tholr charge, dash ing across the plain toward tbe tribuue at full gallop, their helmets and cuirasses glistening in the sunlight and their long "horsetails" streaming behind them while tbe groat crowd cheers and ap plauda frantically. The returning pro cession to tbe city gives us a good oppor tunity to see President Falliercs, tbe Diplomatic Corps, the Presidents of both Houses of Parliament, the King of Cam bndia, and many other notables, our own country beiug also represented by the Longworths, who have been much feted here, the fair Alice being greatly ad mired.
