The Pitsburg Exposition oloses next Saturday. —No school next week—the teachers will be at school, The last fly of the season is geting in its last tickle. -Two-thirds of the teachers in tho United States are women —Game is not as plenty as was antic ipated by our local hunters. —Findfey *eems to be the favorite pho - tographsr with the teachers. —lt snowed here last Sunday, Oct. 18th -iom' ing that it "hadn't oughter"done. —Co. t: otor Sohenck is putting in the fonnda;i>-n for the addition to the McKeaa St. Soho<'l house. —Teachers wanting furnished rooms next week can be accomodated with two, at 128 W. WayneSt. —Use soapy water in making starch. — The clothes will look more glossy and the iron will be Ijsa likely to stick. —"Wimerton" is the name of tho new Post Office in Muddycreek township, and Frank Jones ia Postmaster —The postoffice at Keister has been re established, witn Miss Wigton as postmis tress—in a new building near the station. —Sow here goes wheat up to 80 cents a bushel and silver down to 66 oents an ounce, thus uj.setting the pet theories of many a would-be political economist. —Monday was a cold day for the race— the bicycle race— but yet a large crowd as sembled to sue the two racers come in. Brown started at 1:10 and c una in at 5:15; and tf angel at 1:00 and came in at 5:40. The route was from Butler to De Haven and return— a distance of 50 miles. —A small boy came into our office the Other day on au errand, and while be was tilling his message this is what flashed to Tiew on two large bnttocs on bis ooat: "Yon oin't loss ma, Charlie," and "Yes, love, I'll be there at halt-past eight." And be was only about ten years old. —The husband had been out at a politi oal meeting, and getting up in the morn ing said to his wife, "I feol pretty blue this morning." "Yes," she replied, "how could you be other than blue after a red night whioh left a brown taste in your month at the gray of dawn." And there • was a green cast in his eye as he slammed the door. —The criminal instinct is something be yound the comprehension of the ordinary mortal. Hore is the wiie of an Ameiican mil lionara in jail m London for shopliftingjand the other night a man who lives on a farm in the northern part of this oounty; and who has oil interests and is wealthy, broke into a tool ohest on an oil lease in the western part of ths county and stole a lot of tools and took them to his farm, where he is building a new houre. —The Dairy and Food Commissioner's •gents, under the direction of Secretary Bdge, in all sections of the State are in atituting most rigid investigations to stop the sale of adnlterated food prodnots- A large nnmber of suits were instituted daring the past summer, and it is said the agents have on hand analyses of .many im pure articles of food, on which suits will, before the close of tht year, be entered. The sale of oleomargarine in tho State has been greatly curtailed owing to the vigorous measures adopted by the Depart ment of Agriculture. A good deal of oleo is sold in original packages direct to the eonsnmer by the Chicago and other West em manufacturers. When such purchases are made for use in private families our State laws cannot interfero. —The Northampton graad jury in its re . port to the oonrt advocated good roads and reoommended that the agitation nec essary to secure good road legislation be oommenoed st onoe. That is a good idea. If the grand juries all over the State ■hoald take up this subject, and the wheel men follow it up and the newspapers chase after it in lively manner, there is no donbt that the legislature would pass a law sat isfactory to all. The subject of good roads is always a living one, and only its oonstant agitation will win success. At the last session of the Legislature there were some half a dozen new road laws presented, but every man thought bis was the best, and he felt it his bcunden duty to fight the others. The oonsequenoe is that the roads are as bad as they ever were. Pennsylvania ought to have a road lew modeled after the one that governs the construction of roads in New Jersey, and it wonld not take long to have good roads.—Harrisburg Telegraph. Good gracious, and it's but a few months since we advocated the adoption of tbe New Jersey Milk Law. They must have some dandy laws in Jersey. SINCE MARRIED.

Fox| JuJge Knox and George Steff'ee went on horse back to Oil City to see tne win ders of the oil field, On the way the con versation turned to tho question of oil ever being found in any other section of the country. One of the party remarked that he had no donbt but that oil would be found in Clarion ccunty. Whereupon Mr. Stefifee made the remark that he would agree to drink all the oil the county ever Produced. When Clarion county was at er beat, producing thousands of barrel.) daily, Mr Reed wrote to Mr. StefTee re questing him to come back and test the capacity of his stomach.
