Court week for which we have all
looked, and longed, and sighed, is here,
bringing the familiar faces of lawyers,
Jurors, clients and witnesses. 1t is
curious TO note, that year after year,
about the same individuals attend
court, and almost in the same capaci-
ty. There is one individual in parti-
who has had a suit before nearly every
court during the seven years we have
made Tionesta our home. So it is
with some other partier, who are al
ways present as witnesses to suits, aud
are sure to be subpenaed whether they
know anything about the case or not.
The Justices of the Peace, and con-
stables, who are always cited to APP
pear, remain nearly the same. So in
the course of time, one acquainted
here can name over half the attend
ants before court week comes. The
Trial List being small this week, the
court will probably adjourn to-day, to
meet again on the Third Monday of
May next. Until which time numbers
of oar citizens, (not excepting ourselD
expect to live on credit.
IA new expression, or an old word
with new meaning, is valuable, in
these days of progress, and we feel it
our duty, as journalist. to repeat an
expression we heard yesterday morn.

The other fellow stopped to think, and
Bob Hudaleson stepping between the
parties undoubtedly prevented row.
The man who madr the remark had
evidently said just what he meant to
say. as helepeatsd it several times.
Mrs. Irwin, who has been stop.
ping with her daughter, Mrs. Henage,
this winter, met with painful acci-
dent on Monday evening last. She
was hanging out some clothes, and
the ground being icy she slipped and
fell, fraeturing her left wrist badly.
The accident happened at 5:45 p. m.
aud DR.. Blaine was called in and had
the iacture reduced at 6;15 p. M. The

that affairs will he administered in
better shape for the year to come than
heretofore. ga new broom sweeps

Nov that the snow has disappear
ed sufficiently to lay bare the side
walks of our town, we notice that a
great many repairs and, some new
walks are needed. 1t is hoped that
our new Councisl will take immedi.
ate action in this direction, and that
the rough places may be made smooth
and the crooked places be made
straight.
