The 25 or 30 young people who have
spent tbe past two weeks in a most de
lightful outing on tbe Island below Daw
son station, broke camp Monday and re
turned to their homes. They called their
place "Camp Tionesta," and a prettier
spot for sucb an outing couij scarcely be
found on the beautiful Allegheny. Every
minute of the time was enoyed to the
fullest extent If we take tbe word of tbe
young folks for It, and in future years
they will look back upon this occasion
no doubt as one of tbe pleasantet-t of
their lives. They rounded out their two
weeks of pleasure with a dance in Bo
vard's ball on Monday night.
Samuel Cowan, our expert harness
maker, is In possession of a live bird
which is now a rather uncommon sight
In this latitude, where the species was
once quite common. It is an American
goshawk, or blue bawk as it is best
known to hunters aud old inhabitants.
They are said to be tbe fiercest of all the
hawk lamilies, and very predatory in
their habits, chickens being their most
delicious tidbit, and they don't object to
swooping right down on the barnyard
and picking out tbe fattest and best. This
bird which was caught in a steel trap on
George Burbenn'a farm, German Hill, is
a handsome specimen, measuring about
two feet In length, with a spread of wings
of nearly 4 feet.
Former Sheriff McElbinney was a
business visitor in Tionesta yesterday.
He says the grass is a foot high In tbe
sidewalk leading up to the main entrance
of tbe court bouse. A county official told
him that ofHcial business was dead there.
There hadn't been a prisoner In theooun
tyjail for months and tbe sheriff was
compelled to work out by the day iu or
der to make a living. Franklin News.
We fear the ex-Sheriff Is so accustomed
to letting the grass grow under bis feet
that he is able to see it where others can
not. No more beautifully kept publio
grounds are to be seen anywhere in the
state than those surrounding the Forest
county court house. But the last sen
tence of tbe News' paragraph comes
mighty near the truth.
J. S. Caldwell, of Byromtown, was
attending to business at the county seat
last Friday, and meeting a number of old
friends. "Jack" Is perhaps the youngest
"old veteran" in Pennsylvania, at least
the National Tribune, which Is making
an Investigation into these matters, bas
failed to find a man, up to this date, who
enlisted in Pennsylvania "to cairy a
gun," younger than be. Tbere are
others, no doubt, who were in the service
as drummer boys' etc., but our friend
took his place in the ranks, shouldered a
musket and was at tbe front till the eud
of his eulistment. Jack was born at Mill
Hall, Center county, April 27, 1810, nod
was mustered into the service September
5, 1804, being aged a trifle less than 15
years and 5 months, and il this record
cau be beaten by any Pennsylvania sol
dier he'd like to hear about it.
A miniature cyclone struck this
county in the vlciuity of Trunkeyville
about 0:30 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon
of last, week and ravaged a section of the
country five miles long by about a half
mile wide. Chestnut and other bard "vood
trees two or three feot through at the
butt were torn up and yards of soil in
which the roots were fastened were torn
cut with tbem. There were more than
100 of tbe big trees down in and within a
radius of half mile or Trunkeyville.
Several of these fell upon the siding of
the P. R. K. and it was necessary to Bend
choppers to lop off the branches which
obstructed the main track, to permit the
trains to go through. One big tree fell
across the roof of the newly erected store
of Samuel Tucker, smashing in the roof
suppoits. Some of the Islands In that
neighborhood were swept clear of tbe
standing timber. Tbe path of the storm
was about five mileB in length by a half
mile wide, and little rain or lightning ac
companied the wind, which is said to
have been higher than tbe old timers can
recall.
It is a well-known fact in tbe oil re
gion that more sudden deaths by nitro
glycerine are caused by leaky cans than
in any other way, says the Franklin
News. It was this knowledge that
caused William Bowers, a Kouseville
shooter, to blow up bis wagon last Mon
day at Oleopolis. He bad received orders
to put in a 50-quart shot of nitro-glycr-ine
In the Trax well and arrived on tbe
job early In tbe morning. When he un
loaded he discovered that one of the gal
lon cans filled with high explosive bad
Bpruugaleak aud most of the contents
had seeped into the bottom of tbe wagon.
William look out tbe good cans, filled
the shell with their contents, successfully
shot the well, and then turned his atten
tion to tbe damaged one. The team was
removed far enough away to prevent any
harm coming to them and then the
shooter put a capped fuse into tbe leaking
can, without removing it from the wagon,
lighted the same and blew the wagon to
atoms. It was the only thing to do. One
drop of tbe deadly explosive between the
springs of tbe wagon or ou the bub, if
set off by a jar, would be sufficient lo ex
plode an entlro wagon load of the stuff.
As nearly all of the eight quarts It had
contained had escaped before the leak
was discovered, it is reasonable to sup
pose that Mr. Bowers drove for miles
with instant annihilation threatening
bim, unconscious of bis danger, and his
life was only spared through one of those
peculiar pranks that this high explosive,
so familiar In the oil country, frequently
plays.
