Frequently you pick up a local paper
and after glancing at It wearily thrust it
aside, remarking, "Nothing In the old
paper!" Did you ever stop to think
what that phrase means? It means that
no misfortune has befallen any one in
ouroity; that no fire has wiped out
neighbor's worldly goods; that tbe grim
angel of death has not crossed the
threshold of a friend; that no man, driven
by hatred, has taken tbe life of a fellow
being; that no poor devil, haunted by the
past misdeeds of some other, has crossed
the great divide by bis own hand, and
many other-things that might have bap
pened have not occurred. So next time
you pick up any paper and Its head lines
do not announce a tragedy, give a little
thanks instead of grumbling because
there is no news.
A hundred homing pigeons, (he
property of the Defender Homing Club,
of Rochester, N. Y., were received here
Saturday night and were liberated for the
homeward flight Sunday morning at
nine o'clock, by W, C. Imel, agent for the
Adams Express Co. A large number of
interested spectators were on band to
witness the start. The birds circled
twice aud then started due north, disap
pearing over the hills above Jamieson
Station in a few minutes. As yet no
word has been received here of their ar
rival home, but it was estimated they
would cover tbe distance of 200 miles In
four or five hours. A letter from John
Stewart, secretary of the club, states that
these same birds made a flight of a bun
dred miles the Sunday previous, and that
nine of the birds owued by him had won
the race home by two minutes.
Did They Find the Hurled Treasure!
A rather mysterious happening in
Green township, near Newmansville, re
cently, is causing considerable specula
tion and talk in tbat neighborhood. Tbe
beginning of the story dates back to Au
gust 2, 1882, when John Cleary, who had
worked in tbe lumber woods and owned
and lived alone on a farm which in later
years was known as tbe Hagerty farm,
was adjudged Insane and taken to the
North Warren Asylum, where he still
remains a charge on this county. Ac
cording to an account published in the
Republican at that time, Cleary was a
bard worker, bad saved considerable
money, which he had buried, as he ex
pressed It, "where uoither fire or water
could harm it." He forgot where he bad
placed tbe money, and its loss so preyed
on his mind tbat he became Insane. His
hallucination was tbat tbe air was full of
witches and ghosts and that they were
after blm, so be came to Tionesta and
asked to be locked in jail, "so they
couldn't get at him," as be expressed it.
The last chapter of tbe story, as related
by our informant, occurred on Saturday
evening last, when two strange men
drove up to tbe home of Thomas Flynn,
who lives on the farm adjoining the old
Cleary farm. We did not learn whether
the men stated their business, but they
gave their names as Sears and Roebuck,
and residence as Jefferson county. These
names, of course, are fictitious. The
men went out in tbe evening, were gone
only a short time, and went to bed early,
having with them a satchel which they
closely guarded. About dusk tbat eve
ning Mrs. Flynn went to a neigbbor'a
and in passing tbe old Cleary home, long
since gone to ruin, heard a noise as though
some one were digging, but paid little
attention to it. The strangers arose early
Sunday morning to leave and while Mr.
Flyuu was helping tbem to hitch up be
noticed a pick and shovel in their buggy,
which had the appearance of baying been
recently used. He mentioned this to bis
wife and after putting the two circum
stances together, started to investigate.
He found a freshly dug bole three or four
feet deep under tbe rough wall or in tbe
collar of tbe old Cleary borne, but the
hole was tbe only evidence in sight as to
whether the men found anything, Tbe
mysterious circumstance bas revived all
the old stories of Mr. deary's buried
wealth and the amount is placed at from
hundreds up to many thousands of dol
lars. But the main question which Is ag
itating tbe minds of tbe good people in
that neighborhood Is, did the strangers
succeed in unearthing the bard-earned
and long-forgotten boardings of poor,
unfortunate John Cleary? Mr. Cleary
was known to have one brother, Thomas
Cleary.

fill them, and at much more attractive
salaries than most other kinds of teaching
command.
