A Washington dispatch under date of

Last Friday morning, May 1st, Hen
ry Blum hauled a big load of lath, 2500,
on sleds from the mill, located two and a
aud a half miles up Tubbs run, to the
mouth of the stream, and found the going
pretty fair. This is an event to date from,
we tbiuk, and is a performance which is
not likely to be repeated In several gen
erations. Hauling lumber on sleds in
Forest connty in May Is calculated to
bring one to the belief that the seasons
are really changing,
Somebody baa made the rather blood

arrow heads, and thirteen letters In its
name. All this is scary enough, but there
are plenty of everyday people who will
not overlook the fact that thirteen quar
ters make three dollars and a quarter
when you can gel that many together.

A monument to the famous Bucktail
regimeut was dedicated at Driftwood on
Tuesday of last week. The bronze figure
which surmounts the pedestal Is six feet
tall and represents one of the hardy,
straight-shooting men of which the regi
ment was composed, dressed in -the garb
of a lumberman. It cost $2,200, which
was paid by the state, the people of Cam
eron county contributing to purchase the
handsome granite base. The monument
stands in the center of the town and
marks the place of the rendezvous of the
three companies recruited by General
Kane, the Elk County Rilles, and the
Cameron County Rilles. '
Last Thursday, April 30th, was a day
long to be remembered lor its erratic
weather conditions. About live o'clock
in the morning a snow storm set in, and
the fall of the beautiful continued inces
santly until late into the night. Down in
in the valleys the depth of suow on Fri
day morning was between four and five
inches, while ou the bills it measured six
to eight Inches. It is estimated that fully
a loot of suow fell during this period, but
most of it melted as fast as it settled to
the ground. We hear of other snows in
May, but wo guoss this establishes a new
lecord fur this latitude,
Bart Lawrenoe left yesterday for

Is ready for them, which will be In a few

la lis monthly oil report the Derrick
says an all-round increase was recorded
In developments In nearly all fields dur
ing April, but the gain in new production
was not sufficient to offset the slump that
oocurred in March. More wells were
completed than in the past two months,
but the amount of new production falls
short of the February report. Field work
makes the greatest showing since last
December. While the increased activity
resulted iu a gain of 150 in the number of
completed wells, the increase in the new
production was less than 3,000 barrels.
It Is too early to say whether or not
the heavy snows and bard ireezing of last
week has entirely killed the fruit in this
latitude. That considerable damage has
been done there is scarcely room for
doubt. This is true of pear, plum and
cherry trees, on which the blossoms were
quite advanced, but as to apples, espec
ially the later varieties, it is thought
little if any damage has been wrought,
aud It is thought this fruit will be saved
unless later frosts should finish them.
The best weather prophets are predicting
an unfavorable May, with much stormy,
cold and wet weather. About such as we
had a year ago.
David Wright, the unfortunate man
who was badly injured at Endeavor
three weeks ago, was taken to Oil City
Wednesday and placed In the hospital.
Miss Elizabeth Frawley the Oil City
nurse who has been in attendance since
the accident, accompanied the patient.
Wright is getting along well from the
shock to his system caused by the ampu
tation of one of his legs, but it was
thought that his recovery would be more
rapid if be were taken care of at a hospi
tal. It will be remembered that the acci
dent occurred while Wright was acting as
brakeman on the Wheeler & Dusenbury
lumber railroad at Endeavor,
On Tuesday of last week B. R. Sig
worth of Jobnloweu and J. L. Hrpler of
Newmausvllle purchased from A. C.
Urey his livery stable in this place, tak
ing possession of the same on Saturday.
The purchase includes the barn and lot
and everything pertaining to the livery
business. The new owners are well and
favorably known to our people and as
both are bustling business men their
success in this new venture is a foregone
conclusion. Mr. Urey has not yet decid
ed what business he will take up in the
future. For the present he will keep bis
residence In Tionesta aud devote his time
to the management of a large farm which
he owns near Sandy Lake, Mercer county.
Note the ad. of the new firm in this issue
of the Republican.
The large number of undersized trout
which fishermen have caught aud had to
throw back this seasou has led to a de
mand for an amendment to the game laws
reducing the size from six to four inches.
Said a local angler to the Titusville Her
ald yesterday: "A large proportion of
the speckled beauties thrown back die.
If ti e size was made four inches, the
limit reduced to 35 a day, and the season
shortened from three to two months,
most trout fishermen would be pleased.
Otherwise the state authorities will short
ly find it necessary to stop fishing entirely
for a few years to give the fish time to in
crease sufficiently to furnish a good day's
sport." The suggestion is not a bad one,
but the Jump from 6 to 4 inches Is too
much, The size could well be reducod to
five Inches, where it was some years ago,
and the result would not pe harmful to
the propagation of the fish. But the av
erage legislature scarcely ever does any
thing sensible when dealing with the fish
and game laws,
The efforts of Dr. Alexander (',
Whltebill and Miss Madaline Whitehill,
who were united in marriage at Brook
ville, Jeirerson county, Wednesday morn
ing, to escape the attention of their friends
and slip away ou their honeymoon trip,
came near resulting in a tragedy. When
they reached the Brookvllle depot, after a
roundabout drive to "lose" their friends,
their train was already under headway.
Dr. Whitehill directed his wife to run
aud Jump onto the moving train, while
he delayed a moment to get their bag
gage. In attempting to board the train
Mrs. Whitehill missed her footing aud
was forced to hang onto a guard rail, in
Imminent danger of being thrown be
neath the wheels. By getting under full
headway alougside the moving cars, Dr.
vVhitebill managed to place his arms un
der bis wife's shoulder and drag heroutof
danger, with only a slight soiling of her
traveling gown to show for her misfor
tune. Dr. Whitehill was once a crack
baseball player and helped the Tiouesta
team win several games some years ago.

Letter to A. F. Ledebur,
Tiouesta, Va.
Deak Sir: Two cans of paint look
alike; two paiuts look alike, when
opened; two jobs look alike, so long ss
they're new unless one Is scant.
They are far from alike: one is paint
and the other is trash.
The gallon price is not far from alike.
They don't cost alike. One takes 10 gal
lons to paiut a house; the other lakes 20.
The cost of one Job Is $50; the other $100
It may be $00 the Job that costs least Is
the good one; wears twice as long as the
other.
There are two ways of telling godd
paiut: by the uame; by the number of
gallons It takes fur a job-least gallons,
best paint. By the name Devoe; by least
gallons.
Yours truly,
53 F. W. Devoe A Co.
