If some of the sleighing parties that
have visited Roynoldsville during the
present "sleighing party mania" that
has solzed tho people this winter, would
look upon our town as a rough plain
wherein dwells Bomo ill-bred boys, who
could gainsay the statement? When
boys will congregate along Main street
and firo volley after volley of Bnow balls
at a slod load of ladles who come to our
town for a pleasure trip, and no ono at
tempt to put a stop to it, can we bo con
sidered a highly civilized town? Such
actions on tho part of boys is contempti
ble and deserves to have a speedy end
ing. If a few arrests wore made it
would put a stop to the despicable habit.
It will bo remembered by many of the
voters of this borough that there was
some difficulty last spring about tho
election returns, the election board
having mado thoir returns without
designating the respective offices to
which the candidates getting the most
votes were elected. Esq. E. Noff got
his commission from the Governor of
the State for Justice of Peace for five
years. The school directors got their
notice of election and were sworn in for
three years. If they were duly elected,
which a few people seem to doubt, then
there are only two school directors to
be elected this month. The election
notice posted up says there are four to
be elected. The Republicans only nomi
nated two school directors at the caucus
last evening, which Is evidence that
they think there are only two to be
elected.
The man who finds a cure that will
restore gosslpers to the confidence
of their friends and snatch them from
the sulphurious atmosphere of hades
which awaits thorn, will have discovered
a grand and glorious panacea to send
floating on the evening breeze of the
nineteenth century. The only remedy
we wot of to rid the world of the curse
is to break their infernal necks, but
that will not provide for their peace be
yond the grave nor relieve the inhabit
ants of the nether regions from the
continual disturbance they will ever
lastingly keep up between the devil and
his imps, therefore, the better way
would be, if possible, to cure tho gos
slper of the dread disease in this life.
Of course we have not made the state
ment that Roynoldsville Is blighted with
gosslpers, and be it far from us to make
such an assertion. . ..

Changed the Site.
The school directors held a mooting
lost Wednesday evonlng and B. T. Lit
tle, an architect of Pittsburg, mot with
them. We stated last week that tho
directors had decided on tho Flynn
property at the corner of Fourth and
Grant streets as a site for ono of tho
now school buildings, which they had
dono, but when looked at again by tho
directors and architect they decided
there was not sufilcient ground to build
upon and the lots at the corner of
Fourth and Hill streets were Anally
selected for tho site. Both school
houses were to have boon alike, but on
account of the one in the East End be
ing built on tho hill-side it will be
nocossary to have two specifications.
Mr. Little will submit tho specifications
within the next week and then the
directors will let the contracts for the
building thereof as soon as possible.
A Quiet Wedding.
A quiet wedding took place at the
Catholic parsonage last Wednesday eve
ning In which Goo. Washington Stoke,

couple left on tho evening train for Du
Bois and on the following morning pro
ceeded on a wedding tour to Buffalo,
Niagara Falls, Ontario and Rochester.
The benedict has lived in this town
many years and is well known here. Ho
is a pleasant gentleman who has the
ability of winning friends. The bride
was born in Reynoldsvlllo and has won
the appellation of being a perfect lady.
We have known George and M innte from
early life and we extend congratulations
and sincerely hope their lives may
henceforth be strewn with peace, pros
perity and conteutment. Married life
is what man and wlfo make It, a sucooss

Under a Sled.
Little Minnie MePherson narrowly
esciiiM-d serious Injury or sudden death
iK'foii) school time last Friday morning.
Sho was hanging onto a sled Isix In the
middle of a pair of "bobs" and tho driv
er did not notice her and was driving
his team at a lively trot when Mlnnlo
let go her hold to get off and sho fell
under the sled and ono runner caught
her across tho breast and pushed her
over tho ice and snow ten or fifteen feet
before tho driver could get his team
stopped. Tho llttlo girl was badly
frightened, but escaped uninjured. Wo
witnessed tho mishap and wero not tho
least surprised, because we havo ls.-on
expecting to chronicle some sad acci
dent as a result of jumping on or off
sleds, as It is practiced by so many schtsil
children, even little "tots" follow the
example of tho older ones. It is useless
to devote space In advising tho boys
nnd girls to desist from such practice,
for they, like older people who Indulge
in tho dangerous practices of lifo, each
ono think that they are smart enough
to el I in I) sleds, but it Is not safe for
others to attempt It. When a Isiy or girl
loses an arm or leg, or are nicely dressed,
their cold faco wet with a mothers hot
tears, tightly boxed up and planted
four feet deep in the frozen ground,
then it is too late to take advice.
A "Royal" Gathering. ,
Tho Royal A minimis of Punxsutwney
and Reynoldsville had a jolly time In
tho Masonic hall at this place last
Wednesday evening. A largo number
of tho mcmls-rs of tho Mahoning Coun

wero taken In hand by tho members of

during their brief stay In town. The
visitors and Reynolilsvlllo people, num
bering ninety, took supper at Hotel
Dlllman, after which they returned to
tho lislgo nsnn and listened tosomo ex
cellent music and llvo speeches. The
sHakors wore Rev. Harvey Gricmo
Furbay, of this place, and Rev. Noblo
and A. J. Trultt, of Punxsutawney.
"Judge" KaufTmun, tho A. V. R'y news
agent, was called on for a sjsiooh. Ho
said that ho had prepared an eloquent
siHjech an hour long for the occasion,
but when waiting on tho ludies at Hotel
Dlllman ho had beeamo so disconcerted
that ho had forgotten his piece and
promised that tho next tlmo ho would
write it down to insuro Its delivery.
The Punxsutawneyltes returned homo
feeling that thoir visit had been a very
pleasant one, and tho members of tho
Century Council retired to their beds
and calmly yielded to tho wooing em
brace of old morpheus foellng that they
had dono their best to mako others
happy and had unconsciously succeeded
in filling their own bosoms with a joyous
satisfaction.

The old soldiers, G. A. R. members,
W. R. C, S. of V., husbands and wives

A Good Program.
Last Friday evening sixty people from
DuBois, confined to Sons of Ht. George
their wives nnd "best girls," camo to
Reynoldsvlllo and had a pood time. It
was the regular meeting night of the
Washington J-rfxlgo No. 124, Hons of Ht.
George, and the members of tho visiting
lodge met with them for a short session.
About 8.30 tho dcsirs were opened
and arrangements wero mniln for an
entertainment. A llttlo beforn nine
o'clock Wm. Copping, Past President,
called the icoplo to order and In a few
remarks made the DuBois eoplo feel
that they were Indeed welcome visitors.
Tho hall was packed. Tho program
Introduced proved to tie a good ono and
for two hours the people wero well en
tertained. Tho program was as follows:
Hong, Braund Bros.; recitation, Mrs.
Medley: song, John Redielift: select
reading, Annie Northy; flute solo, Wm.
Braund; song, Lizzie Braund: recita
tion, Richard Bruuiid: song, Matthew
Braund; duet, John Redielift and Win.

and Win. Braund: song John Hislge;

Ll.zlo Blnney; recitation, John Simp
son: song, Wm. Braund: song, John
Hodge; song, Lizzie Braund. A vote
of thanks was tendered tho General
Grant Ltslgo of DuBois, by the Reyn
oldsvlllo hslge, for the entertainment
given by them, with a llttlo assistance
from this place. After tho entertain
ment tho DuBois people wero invited
to Hotel McConncll to tickle their pal
ates with good things prepared for
them.
We wero invited to tho hall
and furnished with a good scat, hut
wero overlooked when it camo to tho
eating purt and were compelled to go
homo hungry and ato the four soda
crackers left in our larder. Wo are
Misitivo tho visitors would bo well cared
for when in charge of the proprietor of
Hotel McConncll. Our newspais-r
career has been short, yet wo havo al
ready become accustomed to be allowed
to write up entertainments, festivals,
weddings, Ac., but when it comes to
getting some of tho good things to eat
wo aro allowed to feast on our Imagina
tion, consequently wo would have been
more surprised to have Isien asked to
Indulge In a square meul than we were
as It turned out.
Not What was Expected.
Ora J. Gould, tho humorist, who de
livered tho second lecture of the course
for tho Reynoldsvlllo Ix-cture Associa
tion In Centennial Hall last Thursday
evening, did not mot tho exM'ctations
of the jHMiplo, lieoaiiHO he hud been high
ly recommended and ho proved himself
to Is) a very common lecturer. He was
"eraeked-up" by tho Ioturo Bureau
from whom ho was engaged, to havo
gained a gtsxl reputation in tho South,
whero ho has been doing his lecturing,
as a humorist man. His smile won tho
children lieforo bo uttered a word. Ho
said some good things, made tho Moplo
smllo and ovlneed somo oratorical abili
ty, yet ho did not come up to what was
oxpectcd of him. Tho lecture committee
wero as much disappointed as any ono
else. Tho Lecture AssH.-iatlon, which
is compisieil of seven men, did not re
ceive sufficient encouragement from tho
pooplo to engage four high priced lec
turers, and for that matter did not re
ceive much encouragement to hire any
high priced men, but at a risk of being
out of pis-ket ten dollars apiece, they en
gaged threo first-class lecturers whom
they knew were gixsl men and hired
ono cheap man, who was well recom
mended, and Ora J, Gould was tho
cheap man. On that account general
admission tickets were sold at twenty
five cents and tho schoolchildren were
admitted for ten cents. Tho next two
lecturers are high priced men who are
known to bo good, and all general ad
mission tickets will be thirty-five cents.
Many of tho scholar embraced tho ten
cent opportunity and were there with
"both hands" and an extremely noisy
whistle which they lot loose two or threo
times.
An Attempted Murder.
IPunxsutttWiit-y Spirit.
Two Italians became involved In a
dispute in front of the residence of
Policeman Palmer on Monday, and as
words waxed pretty warm one of the
men suddenly drew a revolver and
fired at his companion. The report of
the weapon brought Palmer out of bis
home, and as soon as the men saw him
they fled up tho road in the direction of
Walston. The policeman gave chase
and the one guilty of doing tho shooting
threw his revolver into the snow by the
side of tho road, but being a less lively
sprinter than his companion, he was
easily overtaken by the officer, who
escorted him to the lockup, securing
tho revolver a they were making the
return trip. The Italian was also armed
with an ugly knlfo which was taken
from him before ho was consigned to a
coll.
