The resis d:nts in the vicizity of the furni- ture works have suffered consid- erably and a sharp lookout has been instituted and it is pretty well understocd who the puilty parties are although no positive cvidence has been obtained that would con vict.

We cannot guarantee insertion of Athens—The Ladies’ Library club yesterday afternoon was of unusual interest. Mrs, Louise Saow had charge of the program, which opened with two solos by Mrs. C. M. Driggs of Sayre. The theme of abscrbing interest was brought out by Mrs. C S, Maurice in her sketches of old Philadelphia. She gave a description of “Sten ton,” the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Logan. Mr. Logan was one of the few persons present at the first reading of the declaration of independence in congress in 1776. Mrs. Maurice also exhibited the original compass carried by Benja~ min Franklin and also a piece of his silk cordage west which he wore in continental times. Mrs, VulchefT gave a talk oa physical culture, and Mrs. Murrelle read a short article on the subject “Is the Club a Suitable Place for the Seri ous Study of subjects of General Culture.” CHORAL § SOCIETY Athens—About out fifty singers at- tended the meeting at the Baptist church last evening and were very enthusiastic about the formation of the choral society.

DUNHAM, Auditor, Sayre, Pa, Oct. 10, 1008-4w OSBORN’S LIVERY Heavy and Light Draying and Moving A oo —— Sm | & oi finan hoores) ws 43 A NORE OFT VEN" Richmond, Va—Two houses stand in this city today which are of intense interest to every student of Poe. | lo cated both recently while making a special study of Poe's life in Rich: mond. One is no other than the home of the “Lost Lenore” of the “Raven” the other is Sadler's restaurant, In which Poe spent his last evening in Richmond and where possibly he took the first drink which led to his death a few days later in Baltimore. The lady who claimed that Poe told her she was the “Lenore of the Raven,” was Miss Sarah Eimira Roys- ter, afterward Mrs. Shellon. She was familiarly called “Poe's Lenore” to the day of her death. She was Poe's first sweetheart. This and the sacred passion for Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard, the Helen of his beautiful lines, were the great fires of Poe's youth. He met Miss Royster in the spring of 1825, when under a special tutor he was preparing to enter the University of Virginia in February of the next year. When Poe returned to Richmond for the last time, In the summer of 1849, Mrs. Shelton was a widow. The at tachment of earlier years was re newed. Mrs. Shelton herself has giv- en a graphic account of this first meet- ing “] was ready to go to church” she says, “when a servant entered and told me that a gentleman in the parlor wished to see me. I went down and was amazed at seeing Mr. Poe 1 knew him immediately. He came up to me in the most enthusiastic man- ner and said, 'Oh, Elmira, Is it you?” I then told him that [ was go ing to church. I never let anything in- terfere with that, and that he must call again. * * * When he did call again he renewed his addresses. | laughed; he looked very serious and said he was In earnest and had heen thinking about it for a long time. When I found he was quite serious I became serious also, and told him that if he would not accept positive refusal he must at least give me time to con- sider. He answered that love that hesitated was not a love for him The now famons poet had thus re Not an Indian Word. “Calumet,” supposed to be an In dian word mecanlug “pipe of peace” was wholly unknown among the sav. ages. It is Norman, and signifies in general a pipe. The pipe of peace was a “ganowdace” among the Iro- quols and a “poagun” among some other tribes. The Algonkins called it “poagan,” the Winnebagoes “tahnee and the Dacotahs “chaindon- hoopa” hoo" A Word's Biography. Originally the word “impertinent” gignificd merely “not belonging to.” When Wycliffe said ‘hat there were many men in this world who were “impertinent to cartaly lords,” he did not mean that they were “cheeky,” bat merely that they had no masters. Then, as used by Shakespeare, “im- pertinent” came to mean “irrelevant.” Just 200 years ago it was defined as signifying “absurd, silly, idle.” A Damper.

An English physician has placed on record that his instructions about the management of a sick child were de parted from on the advice of a neigh- bor whose claims to be accepted as an auttority were based upon the fact that she had “lost nine children of her own."

GAN THAT DOJIPATION N_ ENDED IN Hi DEATH, 3 ~~ newed his sult vigorously and had un- questionably found favor In the come ly widow's eyes. It was in those halcyon days that Poe told Mrs. Shel ton she was his Lenore of “The Ra- ven." Evefy one believed at the time that they were engaged, and Mrs. Shelton herself declared after the poet's death that there had been "an understanding” between them. I found that William L. Montague's directory of Richmond for 1852 gave Mrs. Shelton as living on the “S. S. Grace, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth” streets. Bulter's direc- tory for 1865 gives her as then living at Twenly-seventh and Grace streets. Evidently between these dates she had moved. | was unable, however, to lo- cate the house positively because res- idences were not numbered at that period. In the midst of my Investigations, however, | received a letter from Mrs J. H. Leftwich, of Milford, Va, daugh- ter of Mrs. Shelton, which swept away all doubt and located for me the exact house. Mrs Leftwich remembers the residence well, for she was married in it. She adds that she does not think Poe ever saw the house farther up Gracy street to which her mother later moved. Sadler's restaurant, in which Poe's life in Richmond really ended. stands on Main street, diagonally across from the Old Market. Poe spent Sunday evening, Septem- ber 20, at the residence of Miss Susan Archer Talley, now Mrs. Welss. That night he slept at Duncan Lodge, home of the MacKenzies, and the next morning went into the city That evening he saw Mrs. Shelton, little dreaming that it was for the last time, and, returning, dropped into the office of Dr. John F. Carter to read the pa- pers. Presently he picked up Dr. Car- ter's cane, lcaving his own, and went across to Sadler's restaurant. The closing chapter Is known to all He was found insensible on the streets of Baltimore a few days later and died Sunday, October 7, to sleep many years in an unmarked grave. Dr. Car- ter, who is still living, tells me that some time after the poet's death his | cane was returned to him. i f”~ Remarkable Story, Anyhow. From Seigersville, Pa, comes per haps the most remarkable potato story of the season, and, In connection, just as remarkable a chicken story. Sev: eral days ago, It Is stated, a farmer of that vicinity, while working in a fleld, discovered a hen which was set ting on several eggs. Investigation showed that theé"nest was nothing more nor less than a large potato which the fowl had pecked hollow, laid four eggs In and then began to hatch the eggs West Virginia Mystery. A very large house snake was killed in the county court room af the court house recently, says the Pocahontas Times. Some young ladies were working on the deed books, and on entering the room one of them was horrified to see a large snake In the middie of the floor. A number heard her scream, and the snake was soon dispatched How the reptile could have gotten into the room, which fs kept locked, Is a mystery. Domestic vs. Wild Animals. In the aggregate the value of all the wild animals in the world is trifling by comparison with the market price of the horses, cattle, swine, sheep, goats and other domesticated beasts, not to speak of the pets like dogs and cats or of poultry. The hens in the United States are probably worth more than all the wild animals in the country would sell for if they could be caught and put on the market. Pretty English Naval Custom. A pretty little custom is observed in the English navy whenever an offi- cer gets married. Two wreaths are hoisted in the most conspicuous man- ner and Interlocked with them and hanging from them are colored rib bons. These hang from eight a. m0 till sunset on the wedding day. The cost of the wreaths is generally sub- scribed by the officer's shipmates. No Provision Made. An advertisement In the London Dally Telegraph intimates that “un- less” a certain gentleman, “late of Dewsbury, who left in storage house- hold furniture with the undersigned, falls to communicate within 21 days, the same will be sold at auction” What will happen if he does not fall {fo communicate remains to be seen.
