all things IN readiness Tor the ABOVE
named appointments.
S. S. BURTON.
j. II. Patrick, editor Of the Clar
ion Republican has resigned his posi-
ton as Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue The office was atterward
discontinued by P. Il. Gray, Collector
of the Goth District. Mr. Patrick will
have to get good many subscribers
to the Republican to make good the
deficit which will occur in his pocket
consequent upon his rash resignation
of lucrative office.
On Thursday last while some men
were grading wheat on Judge Proper's
place on Dutch Hill, they killed three
rattl snakes, one copperhead, and a
large black snake, covered with beau.
titul yellow or orange spots. They
did not know what kind of snake
the last one was nor do we. Two Of
the rattle snakes had niue rattles each.
One Of them snapped at Bob Huddle-
son, catching the leg of his pants, but
not touching the skin.
On the 9th inst. during a heavy
rain storm, the cherry tree at the west
end of the Presbyterian Church was
struck by lightning, and streak
about an inch across, one half inch
deep, and fifteen feet long was gouged
out, in very ne,t manner. The tree
was not materially damaged, On
Sunday the ninth, during anoth-
er rain storm, maple tree on the
south side of the church was blown
down.
One day last week, Frank NJ.
Reck and j. II. Farr, who are getting
out logs at ReasBrush, chopped from
the stump one hundred and eight logs,
which, when measured were found to
contain 10000 feet of timber. On the
day before they had put up one hun
dred logs, of about the same dimen-
sions. We consider this something ex-
; ira, and if any of our lumbermen, or
those of any other county do better,
we shall be glad to hear of it, and will
, tell the world of it.
MIR. Geo. Ellis, of Fort Pitt Was
seriously injured about the face, and
chest, one day last week, by the
upsetting of a cart, from which he was
thrown with considerable force against
> pile of pickets : one of which was
forced through his cheek.
James Carl, also of Fort Pitt, had
his thumb hearly severed at the first
joint, by coming in contact with the
edger Both the above injured men
had their wounds dressed by DIR. Pen
ington, who resides at the Fort.
. On Sunday last heavy rain
! made its appearance, which was well
. coined by all. as we had been swelter-
f ing with the heat for about a week
. previous. In the afternoon hail began
to come down, and continued for about
5 fifteen minutes. No damage that we
!. hear Of was done in town. Out on
!. Dutch Hill, rye, wheat and corn were
4 damaged to some extent, and several
a windows were broken. According tc
|. report, hailstone was picked up neaI
. Jacob Hoods, up the river, which
0 measured six inches in circumference
It's either big story or blessed big
hail stone. The hail which came dowr
here was much more moderate in size
