What change Of expression
comes over the individual, about this
time year, when he lazily backs up
against the door.jam and discovers a
paper tackled up on the opposite side
with the caution, "Look out for Paint !"
Now that the new council has
been inaugurated, we would suggest
that immediate steps be taken looking
to the improvement of some of our
sidewalks, many of which are in a
most dilapidated condition, aud should
be replaced by new ones where fixing
is impracticable.
-Messrs. Hood & Dale coupled up
and run to the lower market on Mon
day last, timber raft which measured
423 feet in length, and 73 feet in
width. 1t was pilotcd by VIM. Glib
son, and is said, by OLD lumbermen, to
have been the largest Allegheny feet
that ever pulled out of Tionesta creek.
As will be seen by notice pub
lished elsewhere in thisissue, the lady
of whom we spoke last week as having
the typhoid fever at Stewards Run has
died. 1t is undoubtedly the same dis
ease that prevailed so fatally near
Bradford last summer. There are no
new cases up to the present, we believe.
We see that the Odd Fellows of
Titusyille propose celebrating the 25th
Of this month, the date of the founda.
ton of American Lodges, by Thomas
Wildey an English blacksmith, and
man of great power and enterprise.
Why should not Tionesta Lodge insti-
tute a similar celebration ofthe event
The jobbers for Messrs. May &
Kelly, are busily engaged driving the
logs which have been put in during
the winter. The boom is already
pretty well filled up, and when all the
logs are safely doomed there will be
enough to keep the mill which will
start up soon, running until late in
the summer.
Doctor Blaine, we understand,
has purchased the Powell house oppo-
site the Lawrence House, and will
soon commence improving the proper
ty in good shape. He will move it
back, and put up large building,
usiUg the present one for kitchen
and back part. When finished the
Doctor will have a pleasant home.
Mr.. S. Il. Haslet has put very
neat paling fence around his domicile,
which adds much beauty to the prop,
erty. When he gets things fixed up
to suit him he will have one of the
most pleasant homes in town. Situa-
ted as it is upon high ground it COM
mands an excellent view of the entire
town, besides mile or two up and
down the beautiful Allegheny.
In his issue of April 3, Coburn
said, ave have as yet found no posi-
tive proof who did the dirty work" )"
In his last lie tells how he charged
the boys SIN particular to put the marks
only on old and useless buildings" And
further on he says; Although the
Plan was deeply laid to catch US in a
lie, it has not been DONE" We think
further comment unnecessary.
Quite a number of new business
signs are noticeable in town. Mr..
Dithridge has had very handsome
and attractiye one painted; Mr.. Reck
has had the front of his boot and shoe
store lettered; the Lawrence House
sign has undergone change for the
better, and Mr.. Bovard has had his
store windows handsomely embellished
with fancy lettering, and several other
places of business in town are to re
ceive similar attractions.
Speaking of trout stories, Melt
Cole tells the following: On Salmon
creek two years ago, he shot a trout
that was in the act Of swallowing an.
other. After he had capture him, he
took the trout which was being swal-
lowed out Of the mouth Of its captor
and upon measuring 1t found it to be
two inches lopoer than the one which
