Mm. Kditor:—Tlic weather lias been
very lint ami dry up to the latter part of
last week. Corn suffered for loss of min.
On Friday and Saturday nouie rain fell,
ending up the situation somewhat, but
did not soak the Hoil. Oats are lieginning
to ripen, and will l>e ready for the binder
in a Jew days. John M. Smith cut some
last week. He forced the season, but
could not help it, liin lield being quite
ripe. Wheat is pretty well secured in
the barns, though there is still some
standing out.
Mr. T. O. Bailey lias added an addition
to his shoe and harness shop, made nec
essary by the rush of business he is hav
ing.
Mr. J. N. 11 err has painted all his out
buildings, which greatly adds to the ap
pearance of his home. Who will Itenext
to follow his examples?
A number of farmers are digging their
potatoes, fearing the rot. The tops are
blighted and rot is likely to follow, if
wet weather should set in.
Luther and Raymond Glaze, of Jersey
Shore, arrived at Turbotville on Monday

Mr. Charles Bort/. goes about with a

Mr. and Mrs. Paul M. Wert man, of
Buffalo, New York, are here visiting
friends and relatives. Tney are both at
tendants at the State Hospital in that
city, lie expects to return in a few
days, but she will remain here.
The thrashing machines are now at
work and will be busy till some time in
the late Fall. The owners report fair
yields of wheat, when they have thrashed,
in proportion to the straw, but not to the
acre. The grain is plump and will be up
to legal weight.
At the time of writing (Monday) the
weather is remarkably cool, especially
mornings and evenings. The thermome
ter ranges from 58 to tiS° in the morning
and hits rarely reached higher than 09°.
On the morning of the 14 of this month it
stood at 50°. Vegetation does not seem
to suffer much from the effects of the
cool weatner.
Win. Levi Kchloppick met with u seri
ous mishap, on last Saturday. He is the
owner of a thrashing outlit. While cross
ing the bridge, at C'oinly, he was driving
the tank and in a.tempting to lock the
wheels he slipped and (ell under the
wheel fracturing the right leg. It will
be sometime before he am get to work
again and this is his busy season, too.

Cost of War Correspondence.
Now, in figuring the cost of corres
pondence, commercially—taking the
Manchuria campaign, for instance—
the average telegraph toll per word is
fifty cents. The rate from Chefu,
Shanghai and Tientsin to New York
is forty-two cents a word; from Tokio,
fifty-four ceuts. Each correspondent
sends about 10(10 words a week. So
there is an outlay of about SIOO,OOO
per week for messages. The 200
875 a week snlary, making $16,000.
Their interpreters, servants and mess
and forage require about $15,000.
Incidentals bring the total outlay up
to $150,000 a week for the 200. In
addition, several newspapers employ
dispatch boats, for which they pay
something like SISOO a week each
for charter and maintenance.
Though this ex)ieuditure for the
Russo-Japanese war may strike the
ordinary reader as extravagantly
high, it isn't extravagant at all when
compared with the actual outlay of
$50,000 a week by one newspaper
during the Spanish war.
<)n the personal side, the cost can
not be computed in dollars. It's a
matter of death or disability. The
correspondent is down and out, and
his value is to lie reckoned only by
the tears of his mother or his wife
and children at home.
Missionary Society,
The Missionary Societies of the
Grove and Mahoning Presbyterian
churohes held a very interesting meet

It is reported that the trunk of •
large tree has been encountered at a
depth of 1,000 feet by the oil drillers
at Crockett, Tex. Large pieces of
perfectly preserved bark and wood of

texture, and the tree is estimated to
have been between two and three feet
in diameter.
Nervous troubles may be provoked
in animals, as with us. The fear that
horses show toward locomotives or
automobiles is the cause of trembling
and temporary paralysis, whose real
origin is often unnoticed. Fear of
punishment in small animals or joy
at seeing a beloved master has given
rise to nervous crises that have been
mistaken for epilepsy.
One summer a country house was
so over-run by ants that the owner,
after destroying a large ant-hill near
the house and collecting tho numer
ous pupae for poultry feed, laid
sticky fly-paper before the door of the
house in such a manner that the ants
could not enter without crossing it.
11l the morning he found his poultry
feed gone and the fly-paper covered
with sand, dry grass and pine need
les, over which the ants bad passed
"dry-shod." The ant-hill bad also
been rebuilt during the night.
Ages of Political Candidates.
The notion that the relative nge of
candidates plays an important part in
the selection of u nominee for the sec
ond place does not seem to he borne
out by the facts, says Harper's Week
ly. An assertion has of late been
current in the press to the effect, first
that Theodore Hoosevelt and John C.
Breckinridge are the only men who,
when they were inaugurated Vice
Presidents, could fairly be described
as young; and, secondly, that, most
frequently, Vice Presidents have been
older than the corresponding Presi
dents. It is true that Theodore
Roosevelt was but 43 aud John C.
Breckinridge only 30 at the date of
their inauguration; but John C. Cal
houn was only 43, Schuyler Colfax
only 4G aud Millard Fillmore only
49. As regards the second statement,
George Washington, John Adams,
James Monroe, John Quincy Adams,
Andrew Jackson, William H. Har
rison, Zachary Taylor, James Bu
chanan aud William McKinley were
older than their respective Vice Pres
idents. Thomas Jefferson was older
than Aaron Burr, aud younger than
George Clinton. Abraham Lincolu
was of the same age as Hannibal
Hamlin and only one year younger
than Andrew Johnson. Grant was
older than Colfax, but younger than
Wilson. Garfield was just one year
younger than Arthur. Evidently, it
is not the consideration of respective
age, but the question of locality and
political expediency that determines
the designation of a nominee for the
Vice Presidency.

«(4e passages thai ever dripped front
a tearful pen:
"Many centuries ago i« waa determin

These are gracious drop*, hut the
Hon. Kdward Hubert Butler ought to
keep them. His lawn may need
watering in August. For Mr. Davis
actually tires out physically men
half his age according to the almanac.
A jaunt of 260 miles to and from'
Ksopus and a day of political consul
tation, interspersed with social enter
tainment and with facing the immin
ent deadly camera are a picnic to
him, although a distinguished Buffalo
citizen, the Hon. Norman Kdward
Mack, is fatigued by considerably less
labor on this same E.sopu? excursion.
Last year •'the rich man of past
four-score" was taking a ride of 250
miles into the gaping jaws of West
Virginia, just for fun, exercise and
the collection of horseshoes.
Mr. Davis is one of thoi-o rare men
against whom Time forge os to score.
He may be described as well pre
served man of 50, two yer.rs younger
(liaii his well oiled competitor, the
Hon. Charles Warren Fair mnks.
Doubtless there will be increasing
solicitude among the Republicans as
to the age aud condition o Mr. Davis;
and the cruelty of the St. Louis con
vention will be reprobated sternly or
piteously.
But the Man Who Can't Get Old
will continue to bo an engaging
ligure.
MR. HALL'S GOOD LUCK.
Stole Cliulrmnn Reported to hove Struck
Oil on One of His Properties.
According to a story received here last
evening State Chairman Mall has struck
oil on one of his properties near Ridgway
after holing for some time. It is said
that a fair flow was encountered and that
the property is a promising one.
The strike is the lirst to be made in
Klk county in spite of the fact that bor
ings have been made for years and nat
ural gas has been used for a long time.
Barn and Contents Destroyed By fire.
The largo barn on the Furdy farm
near Fine Swamp Hollow,Rdsli town
ship, was totally destroyed by fire on
Sunday night.
The farm is tenanted by Simon D.
VViand. The fire was discovered about
10:45 o'clock after the family had re
tired and before Mr. Wiand could
reach the barn the Uarnes bad gained
so much headway that it was impossi
ble to savo auy ot the contents of the
building. Three horsos wore burned to
death aloug with many valoablo farm
ing implements. A good stock of hay
aud grain but recently harvested was
also oonsumed by the flames. The cows
which had been left in the barnyard
were rescued with much diffloulty.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr.
Wiand whose loss not only in live
stock and grain is considerable, but
tho misfortune coming in the midst of
harvest time will prove a serious
handicap. The origin of the fire is un
known. Tho flames were plainly seen
from tho river bank in this city.
