Of the death Of Mrs. Lester Warner, Of
Barnett Twp, on Thursday last. She

by an excess Of adipose tissue, as she
weighed some 400 pounds. The gen.
tleman who brought the news was
without particulars.
The young people of our place,
assisted by some WIN are not as young
as they once we're, are to take sleigh
ride to Tylersburg tomorrow evening,
where they will make it lively for
Charley Weber. They think they will
be able to drive out there, dance
hole through the ballroom floor, eat
the landlord out and be back at To
nesta ready for business by seven
o'clock on Friday morning.
-Wm. Reck contemplates moving

weeks, to take charge Of the extensive
mills of Mr.. Ruloffson. Frank Reck,

of money and friends in his new home.
The roof of the Central House
barn fell in on Thursday morning last,
from the effects Of the vast amount Of
snow which had accumulated on it du.
ring the last few weeks. There were
three or four horses in the barn at the
time, but fortunately none of them
were injured. The sides of the barn
did not spread much, and the roof is
being put up again in sections, and in
few days it will be in shape for the

Bradford is now a chartered city,

and some from the clover regions" are
hocking in there to seek their fortunes.
A new oil exchange is to be dedicated
there in few days. Old operators
with old strings of tools, are crowding
in, AMI before next June the ground
for miles around there will be bored
as full of holes as seive. Then the
country will begin to play out, and
then Forest County must be devel-
oped.
In booming times our young
bloods, and indeed, the old ones too,
would snort with contempt if person
offered to treat them to a cigar costing
less than ten cents. AS the times shut
down on US, five-cent cigar was
promptly accepted and gratefully ac.
knowlelged ; but now a two-for-fve
or even three for.6ve. is snapped up
so quick that it makes ones head
swim. Thus do mems vices, as we'll as
their necessities learn to conform to
the times and the state of trade.
"A loan exhibition at Meadville,
occupies a good deal of space in the
papers, and q good deal of attention

Who wants to borrow a twenty dollar
gold-piece of us for eighty years?
