There Is much of the wisdom of a

ten years. This makes the punishment

The last Febiuary election will be
held three months from now. Since the
constitutional amendments providing for
the abolition of the election in February
and the schedule for the extension of
terms of office of men now holding places
are apparently ratified by the vote of the
people, the so-called spring primary and
election will be done away with after
those held in 1010. There will be no
more standing in the shivering blasts of
January at primaries and no hustling in
the keen winds, snows and rains of Feb
ruary. All elections will be held in No
vember and all primaries in April in
Presidential years aud in June in other

The residence cf George Hillard of
Sawtown, Pine Grove township, Venango
county, was destroyed by fire Saturday
evening, and his two sons, Roland, aged
7, and Oscar, aged 5, were badly burned.
Oscar has Inhaled the flame and cannot
recover. In a room adjoining that in
which the little boys slept a young wo
man overturned a kerosene lamp. The
fluid ignited. She was badly frightened
and forgetful of the boys rushed down
stairs screaming. The little lads, open
log their door, were driven back by the
flames. They got Into bed and covered
themselves with the bed clothing. Kes
cuers with a ladder took them from the
window when the clothes had nearly been
burned from the bed. The loss upon the
property will be $2,000 and there is no In
surance. Since tbe foregoing was put in
type Oscar, the 5-year-old lad, died from
his burns, and the physicians give little
hope of the recovery of Rolaud, his 7
year-old brother.

Tbe larger flrst-clas postoffices being
swamped with mail In the holiday season
the department has issued au order to tbe
effect that all post caids that is picture
and season cards that are sent through
the mall in such large numbers during
the last few years are to be separated from
tbe regular first-class mail, which Include
letters and government post cards, so that
the legitimate first-class and other mall
will be handled as It comes. This means
that picture cards are laid to one side
until the Christmas rush is over, so it
will be well if anyone wibb.es to say any
thing of importance that a ligitlmate post
card be used or better still a letter be
written, which will obviate many com
plaints of broken engagements on account
of the "card that never came" on time.
A fine doe deer, knowing that tbe
majesty of tbe law protected her from all
barm from the man behind the gun, came
into town last Saturday afternoon and
for nearly an hour was quietly grazing in
the Robinson fields back of the borough
school building. Tbe animal, which was
a very fine specimen of its kind, was first
seen by Henry Grubbs on the German
Hill road, about three o'clock, where It
had just jumped tbe fence, coming from
the Haslet pasture field. About four
o'clock It was seen in tbe Robinson field
by Mrs. Aronson and Fred Glassner, the
lady mistaking it for a calf until she saw
it jump nimbly over the fence. The ani
mal disappeared in the woods back of the
Gelds. The lack of boow tbe last few
days of tbe open season has been very
favorable to tbe deer and we hear of only
one being killed in this vicinity.
Among the very handsome and inter
esting publications Ibat have reached this
office of late U a special edition of the
Franklin Repository, published at the
bi-torioand bustling little city of Cbam
bersburg, Pa. This edition is in tbe form
of a magazine, covering 32 pages, and ex
ploits in a very entertaining manner tbe
industrial status of the wide-awake city
which it represents. Cbambersburg is
one of Pennsylvania's oldest towns, and
yet one of its most progressive and
beautiful, and this effort upon the part of
tbe enterprising editor and proprietor of
tbe Repository, Hon. A.Nevin Pomeroy,
to give tbe outside world a peep into the
inner life of tbe beautiful city is most
praiseworthy, and no doubt greatly ap
preciated by bis large constituency, as it
should be. Asa work of the printer's art
this magazine takes rank among the very
first.
The hunting season for all game, ex
cepting rabbits and bear, closed yester
day, and well it did, for the slaughter has
been fierce and merciless, especially as to
pheasauts. The "hogging" has not been
carried on by our local sports, be it Bald
to tbelr credit, but by tbe hordes of for
eign hunters who Invaded the land much
as a baud of Modoo Indians might have
done in western frontier days. It is es
timated that not less than a thousand
pheasants were carried away from here
and at Hickory by outside hunters, bail
ing mostly from Pittsburg and vicinity.
No amount of legislative enactment could
afford protection to game under such on
slaughts, which mean nothing short of
complete extermination. We have an
Idea that many of these "game bogs" will
find the onimous "no trespassing" signs
staring tbem in the face when they return
at another season to begin their swineish
work.
The Northwestern Anti-Tuberculosis
League baa charge of tbe distributing of
tbe Red Cross Stamps, in Tiouesta, in
fact, in the several counties, In which
tbey are working. The Northwestern
Anti-Tuberculosis League was organized
in Bradford recently, to fight consump
tion In Northwestern Pennsylvania, and
are under the wing of tbe Pennsylvania
and National Societies. A largo number
of members have already been received
from McKean County, aud it is the in
tention to canvass each of the Northwest
ern counties for memberships at $5 a
year. At the Sanatorium, at bells Camp
are already seven patients and it is hoped
that by next fall thirty or forty patients
will be cared for. Patients are taken at
$o a week, which is about one-half tbe
cost of keeping. The difference it is
hoped will be made up by memberships
and donations. This institution offers a
place for consumptives to take cure with
out going bo far from home, and at a
small cost to tbe citizen who joins. Any
one anxious to become identified can
send $j to Mrs. Kate I. Berry, Treasurer,
Bradford, Pa., or write to M. F, Melvin,
for information.
Some of the "keep off" notices posted
by land owners throughout this section
are decidedly interesting, both as works
of art and as specimens of remarkable
orthographical contortions. And many
of them are just about as useful, for tbe
purpose in tended, as they are ornamental.
Tbe posting of these notices is largely In
tbe nature of a bluff, on the part of the
farmers, but some of tbem, who think
they mean business, in reality kuow little
about It. Tbe law now in force in this
state defines trespass as entering upon
another person'a posted premises, and
imposes a penalty of $10 for so doing.
However, it Is necessary for the notice to
contain the words "This is private
property," and also giving warning
against trespass under penalty of law.
Damage is not necessary as a basis for
action for trespass, but there are some
peculiar conditions at present which are
unfavorable to tbe farmer. Among these
are tbe following: He must procure a
warrant to arrest, aud to do this be must
know the name of the trespasser. He
does not receive any part ol the $10 fine if
Hie suit is successful, but if he Buould
lose he must pay costs.' The fine goes to
tbe Bchool fund instead of tbe Game Com
mission, Oil City Blizzard.

Fourteen Horses Cremated.
Marlenville experienced a veritable
holocaust of horses at an early hour last
Wednesday morning, when tbe livery
barn occupied by John Oudolt was con
sumed by fire. The proprietor was sleep
ing in the office of the barn and about 3
o'clock was awakened by something re
sembling an explosion. On arising he
found the whole inside of tbe building a
seething mass of flame, and he was
obliged to make bis escape through the
offlce window. He gave tbe alarm, but
before help arrived the possibility of sav
ing anything was paseed, and his entire
livery outfit, including eleven horses
owned by himself, and three transients,
were consumed, only a few robes and tbe
office safe being tsken outof the building.
Mr. Oudett kept a large number of rigs,
harness, and other equipment, some of
them nearly new,
County Commissioner McClellan
owned one of the horses, aud the two
other transient rigs were owned by
strangers who bad put tbem up at tbe barn
for tbe night.
The barn was a large one, very sub
stantially built, and estimated to be worth
$.'1,000. It was owned iy John Hoover,
and there was no insurance on it,
Mr. Oudett estimates bis loss at $5,000.
He carried $4,500 insurance.
Juhu Baugbinau'a barn, which stood
next the large one, took Are and was also
burned to the ground. Ilia loss is $300,
with no Insurance.
Tbe grist mill of Sigworth & Keating
was damaged to the extent of $150, fully
covered by insurauce.
Tbe origin of the fire is a mystery as
there was no tire in the building during
tbeulght.
STILL ANOTHER.
At 2 o'clock Thursday morning, at al
most tbe same hour as the Oudett tire, tbe
dwelling of H. E. Groce, located on South
Forest street, Marlenville, was discovered
to be on fire, and before assistance could
reach the place the flames bad so lar pro
gressed aa to leave no chance of saving it.
With the exception of a few articles of
furniture on the first floor, nothing was
saved. The loss on building and furni
ture is estimated at about $1,500, on which
was an Insurance of $."i00. Tbe origin of
tbis tire Is also a mystery, none of the
family having occupied it for a week
prior to its burning, and no fire was left
In tbe house when tbe family left it, and
tbe conflagration savors strongly of in
cendiarism. Mr. Groce was at tbe Kane
hospital undergoing treatment and had
been for several weeks, while Mrs. Groce
and child were visiting friends out of
town. The loss falls heavily upon Mr,
Groce, who is convalescing from a long
illness.
