Tbere seems no doubt but that tbe robina do occasionally "stav over" for the winter, and that thia Is one of the winters in wbicb tbey failed to migrate to southern climes. Throughout thecoun try they bave been seen in more or less numerous flocks, and from all sections come reports of single birds and pairs be ingseen, George Wilson of the borough says he baa fed a pair of tbe red breasted ingers all winter long with bis chickens. This strange and unusual action on tbe part of tbe robins means something, no doubt, or bas aome bearing on future weather conditions, but whether it Is the forerunner of au early spring or the fore boding of a late one, no smart alex seems able to figure out. Charles, tbe 10-year-oid son of W, L.

Clark the 15-year-old son of George Frill, died from the same disease on Wednesday 14th, and was buried on Saturday follow- Ing. The lads were seat mates in school and had been congenial friends from early chllhood. Both were taken down wltb the disease on tbe same day, and their deaths occurred only one day apart Tbe Interments were made In tbe Lick Ingvllle cemetery, the obsequies being attended by a Borrowing oommunity. A president correspondent sends us the following account of a social function at that place last Thursday evening: A surprise party at urs. Jennie Hill's was enjoyed by a number of friends from the neighborhood numbering 19 wbo came In slelgba and stayed until tbe wee suia' hours. After a fine luncheon had been served, dancing, games and plays were enjoyed. Tbe following friends were present: Mr. and Mrs. Chaa.

Angus Carton was recently granted I patent on a elf-threading sewing ma- cnine neeate wnicn ouitm to net hi in a fortune if real merit counts for anyihlng. The device consists of a wire spring fitted into a groove in the side of au ordinary machine needle. Near the upper end of the ueedle is a loop af the wire through which the thread is Inserted and pulled down Inside the spring to tbe eye of the needle, where it is hold as though passed through tbe eye ol an ordinary needle. The action is very quick and simple. The needle has been proved to be a suc cess by actual tests and will be especially valuable to persons with failing eyesight. Slep into Mr. Carson's store and see it The patent is No. 1,017,247 and was pend ing for two years, he having filed his application Jau. 21, 1010. The death, on tbe 12th lust., of Dr, Benjamin Pier.-on, at bis home at HI I p. pery Rock, Butler county, will bring to the memory of some of Tloneala's older realdeuta recollections of nearly 50 year ago, wben tbe deceased was a citizen of this place. Near the close of Ibe Civil War and for some time after. Thomas Plersoo, his father, was postmaster alTio. nesia, and the sou made bis home here for a year or two, practicing bia profes sion. Dr. r lersou was ajed i3 years, and was one of tbe founders of Slippery Rock Normal school, and vice president of the Peoples National bank of that towu. His native home was Mercer, Pa. He is sur vived by three sons, the Rev, Thomas Pierson, of Warren, Pa ; Dr. Eugene Pierson of Pittsburgh; Benjamin Jr., and one daughter, MisselUe Pierson, at home. H. Clyde Esbbaugb, son of Mrs. J. M. Van Camp of this place, died at his home In Dubois, Pa., on the 14th Inst. following a short illness Irom pneumonia which he bad contracted on the previous Friday. He was deputy superintendent of the Metropolitan Insurance branch at Dubois, and was one of the highly es teemed citizens of Ibe place. lie was aged 42 years, and besides bia mother, one sister, Miss Myrtle Esbbaugb, and one half sister, Miss Goldie Van Camp, be Is survived by bis wile, one sou end two daughters. His mother and sisters from here attended the funeral, which was held on Friday, the burial taking place at Knnxilalo, Jefferson county, tbe former home of the deceased. Clyde was ever considerate of the comforts and needs of his mother, and had made it a rule to share his income with her, contributing a fixed sum monthly to her support. During the fine sleighing of the psst six weeks some tremendous loads were moved and a world of good came out of it to those who bad hauling to do. But it remained for Charley McCool, who drives the splendid draft team of greys belong ing to Liveryman McCoy, to put the rap sheaf on all the big loads, we think. On Wednesday last he left tbe station with thirty 30-foot railroad rails for tbe Cole man fe Watson lumber plant on Johns run. Tbe approach to the west end of the river bridge la quite a heavy grade. The team was stopped on the steepest part and none of tbe by-standera expected the load to be taken out by a single team, but when the driver gave the word the greys stretched themselves aud walked up on he bridge with apparent ease, These are what are known as 45 pound rails, tusk ing a load ol se' eu tons, or 14,000 pounds, including the weight of the sleds. This will likely stand as the record for years to come. Ma) bur jr. Misses Tereaia Henrikson, Edna .

We wondered why our Florida letters from Wallace Cbadman were not lorlb coming any more, until a lew daya ago wben we found the following In tbe Punta Gnrda Herald of a recent date, which leads us to believe that Wallle la too busy in other ways to give attention to mere newspaper correspondence. Here a what we found; "Tbat cieaturea otber tban tbe finny tribe may be taken with book and line was demonstrated by Mr. Wallace Chad man laat Friday morning. He was fish ing off the end of tbe pier for robalo and ew fish when a large pelican was at traded by bis bait, wbicb was a six inch yellow tail. The big bird settled down n the water near where It saw the yellow ail working, and a moment later ran its nng bill down and grabbed the fish Suspicious of tbe book and line it did not at first attempt to put the tempting mor sel into tbe sack under its lower Jaw, but made au effort to detach tbe book. Final ly it got the yellow tail off. Then Mr, Cbadman tbrew bis line out beyond tbe big fellow, as he sat there munching the fish, and drawing it iu quickly caught him on tbe edge of tbe wing in such a manner tbat be wan not Injured in tbe least. He Hew but was pulled back. He flew again aud again, but the line proved of sufficient strength to hold him and wben Mr, Ben Saunders came along the pelican was quickly lifted upon tbe pier, Tbe bird was taken to tbe yard in the rear of the Whidden Sanitoriuin where Mr. Cbadman ia taming It, Tbe name 'Hook" was given biui, and be comes trottiog out when bis name Is cal led. He eats seven small fish at a uieal and seems perfectly satisfied to bave bis food rought to him. Many persoua come daily to take a look at him," Some good fishing records are also made, according to the mine paper, which says; "To date tbe record of each angler stands as follows: Mr. O.Toole 22. Mr. Ben Saunders 15, Mr. Joe I m buff 4, Mr. Wallace Cbadman 2 (one Jew fish), Mr. oe Webb 2 jew flab, Mr. Ham Webb 2 harks, Mr, Gill 1 drum and 1 Jew fisb. Mr. Culver lost several lines and benta lewbookaon tbe big fellows while several other members ol tbe club bave broken poles to prove that tbey had at least some bites." Mr, O' Toole leads. It will he seen, with Mr. Saunders a close second. Mr. Cbadman is away behind, but bis re markable stunt of catching the pelican with bis book and Hue places blm in tbe foremost rank.

Dwelling Iturnfd at Mnjburg. Saturday afternoon a double dwell ing bouse at Mayburg, belonging to the Watson Lands Lumber Co., and occupied by the families of Chaa. Prather and Chas Dunkle, was accidentally set on lire by tbe children and burned totbeground. It is thought some papers were thrown into the kitchen stove by the children from which flames sprang out igniting tbe cbeese-clotb witb which tbe walls were covered. In a few moments the building was enveloped in Haines, and despite the efforts ol the men about the town, was totally consumed. Mr. Dunkle, having bis household furniture packed preparatory to moving, saved all of his good s. Mr. Prather was not so fort unate, and sustained a loss of about $200, wltb no Insurance. The building was of little value, and about two hundred dol lars would cover tbe loss. The Tlonesta Dam. No decision on Ibe charter for the right to construct a dam on Tioneata creek has yet been made public by the Water Sup ply Commission.
