This has been a season oi great downpours of rains, resembling cloud bursts and mostly local In their nature, but sooner or later catching all sections. It is doubtful whether any inhabitant can recall a similar season. From the number of tents already ordered, the Free Methodist campmeet iug to be held at Pleasantvllle, July 30 to Aug. 0 will be one of the largest meetings ever held in this part of the state. Five or six denominations are represented by those expecting to tent. One of the lead ing features this year will be the Bible school, which will convene daily, In charge of Bibhop W, T.

A terrifio rain storm which had its center in the vicinity of Tidioute Sunday night, switched down toward Endeavor aud for a lime the people of that com munity had visions of another bath such as they got on the night of the 3d of July. Some logs were floated out of the mill pond, which wim In process of recon struction, but the damago done was In significant compared with the former tear-up. Asa Lovejoy, of this place, last week closed a deal with C. P. Bucklin, of Ti dioute, for the purchase of a farm near Cobhain, three and a half miles above Tidinuto. The farm contains forty-five acres, with about live or six acres cleared, on which is a house and barn and some fruit trees. There is also considerable young aud growing timber on the place. Mr. Lovejoy will move his family to that place some time in September. There was a tremendous rainfall somewhere at the headwaters of the Clarion river the first of the week and by Wednesday noon there was a nine foot stage. This caught some of the lumber men unprepared and some of them sus tained losses. W. A.

Pennsylvania road law requires township Supervisors or commissioners of roads at least once a month during the mouths of May, June, August aud No vember to cause all loose stones to be re moved from the roads under their super vision. The provision is a good one and should be more Btrlctly observod, al though in many places this season since the heavy rains, there would be little left if the loose stones were removed. New home grown potatoes have been on the market for several weeks in this lati'tudo, and so have ripe tomatoes, while greon peas and many other vegitables have passed off the scene for this year almost. Now comes along the smart one who boasts of eating "roastin ears" from his own patch, and we've got so we don't dispute anything a fellow tells us along these linos. This is a quick year, and there's no telling how soon snow balls will be ripe. George II. Bimber, a veteran of the civil war, and for many years a resident of Tidioute, passed away at bis home in Pleasantville, where be had resided for the past three years. His age was 82 years, and he will be best remembered by our readers as the husband of Mrs. Mar tha Ball Peters, well known in this com munity, aud who survives him. The aged couple visited Tionesta about a year ago where the deceased made a number of acquaintances. Becoming involved In a quarrel over some proporty rights Thomas F. Divilbiss ran to his bouse and got a shot gun wb ich he emptied into the chest of Jacob Oiler lee, killing bim almost Instantly. The two men were neighbors, living near Lauder, Warren county, but bad not been on the best of terms lor some time. It is said Divilbiss' violent temper is respon sible for the murder.

Its student body represented three-fourths of the counties of Pennsylvania and a number of foreign states. The prestige of this well known school drawB to it a large body of superior young men and women.

Its illustrated catalogue is now ready for distribution and will be sent upon application to the Principal. It Somebody has figured it out that a man's life Is made up of a strange lot of contraries, lie eomes into the world without being consulted in the matter aud usually quits it against bis will. When he's little the big girls kiss him; when he's growu only the little ones do. If he's poor, he's a bad manager; if he's rich, he's dishouest. If he needs credit, he can't get it; If he's prosperous, every one wants to do him a favor. If he's In politics, it's for pie: if he's out of politics, you can't place him, and he's no good for his country. If be doesn't give to charity, he's a tight-wad; if lie does It's for show. If he's actively religious, he's a hypocrite; if be takes no Interest in religion he's a hardened sinner. If he shows affection, he's a soft specimen; ifhe seems to care for no one, bo's cold-blooded. Ifhe tries to be friendly, he Is an easy mark; if he doesn't he's stuck np. Ifhedies young, there was a great future ahead of him; if be lives to an old age, be has missed his calling. "What's the use?" Dr. George Sigglns, who Is now lo oated at Llnev llle, Clarion county, was a Visitor here Monday. lie bad a hurry-up call to go to a neighboring village called Pltchpine about five miles distant last Saturday night, where the village folk bad patronized a church social and eaten copiously of the ice cream that was served and were poisoned. More than 30 people were affected many of them seriously, but all were In a fair way to recovery when he left. It Is thought the flavoring extract was responsible for the trouble. Captain K. G. Shutt of Warren ar rived here Monday afternoon with bis steam launch, the "City of Warren," and Is doing considerable business carrying passengers around the eddy at five cents for the trip. The craft is neat aud trim and will comfortably carry twenty-five passengeis. It Is stationed near tbo river bridge. It is a stern-wbeeler and was built by Mr. Shutt in Warren for excursion purposes but on acconnt of its draught could not get out ol the eddy at low stage. He expects to go to Pitts burg on the next rise. Bill Nye had the truth well told when be said: "A man may use a wart on the back of bis neck for a callar button; ride on the back coach of a railroad train to save interest on bis money till the con ductor gets around; stop bis watch at nlgbt to save wear and tear; leave his T or 't' without a dot or cross to save ink; pasture his mother's grave to save corn; but a man of this sort is a gentleman and a scholar compared to the fellow who will take a newspaper two or thiee years and when asked to pay for it, put it into the office and have it marked 'ro fused.' " The alumni of the Ediuboro Normal School is sending out an appeal to all former students, especially to those who attended between the years 1X01 to 1802, asking for financial aid to purchase a home for Prof, and Mrs, J. A. Cooper, The aged Professor, who was principal of the school during that period has been forced, after a long, laborious service in the cause of education, to give up his comfortable home and take rooms on the second floor of a very old building, and it is to give the aged couple a borne where they can find that rest and peace to which tbey are so much entitled in their declin ing years that the appeal is made. In all probability the response will be quite generous as it should be. Hon. George Maloney, one of the best known, best beloved and most enterpris ing citizens of Franklin, died suddenly Monday morning of thli week In the Jof ferson hospital, Philadelphia. He had left borne about ten days prior for an eastern trip and while in Pniladelpbia was seized with an attack of appendicitis and peritonitis. His condition was such as to forbid an operation. Mr. Maloney was in his 50th year, and most of his use ful and energetic life was spent in the oil regions of this state, where be was a prominent figure for nearly forty years. He was quite prominent in politics, being an ardent Democrat, and was twice elect ed Mayor of Franklin, and twice to the legislature from Venaugo county. Ira Sain uelson, of Warren, who has the coutract of moving and rebuildiug the old Bonner bouse for F. K. Lanson, found an Interesting relio tucked away between the ceiling and floor of the building, on Saturday. The relio is a message In pamphlet form from Gov. Francis B. Shunk to the Pennsylvania Legislature and is dated Jan. 5, 1818. The most important statement in the message is a strong recommendation against spec ial legislation, which was prohibited un der the new constitution of 1873, so it will be noticed the reform was a long time coming. Old residents inform us that the house was built in 1852 for Hamilton Stow and that William McKlnley, Gil bert McKlnloy and other old-time arti sans did the carpenter work. Among the many camping parties in this vicinity this season none havechoen a more sightly or beautiful spot than a party of young men from Sharpsburg, Pa., who are under the care of John Farrell, Sr., of that city.
