Mr.. II. II. May met with a serious
accident on Friday last. He was in
the woods near Buck Mills, about 20
miles up Tionesta creek, looking over
some timber lands in company with
Mr.. @. f. Gillespie and a Mr.. Pollen.
While attempting to step from one
log to another his foot caught in some
brush and be fell headlong striking Oh
his forehead on log with his entire
weight. The severe shock rather dazed
him, but ho soon recovered and was
able to walk short distance to a
neighboring house. He was brought
home the next day and it was dis
covered by the doctor that bis skull
was slightly fractured. His wound
was properly attended to and he is ow
rapidly growing better. The escape
was narrow one, as the shock would
doubtless have crushed his skull had
he struck one inch higher upon the
forehead.

Neilltown Notes.

Freddie Demun, whose sickness
from diptheria was noticed in former
communication, died Sunday evening.
1t was thought on Friday and Satur-
day that he was much better and that
he was on the way to recovery; but
alas for human hopes The character
of the disease forbid, to a great extent,
the expression, by calling, waiting
upon, and helping, of the sympathy
and regard with which all regarded
Freddie during his illness. AS school.
mates, teacher, and neighbors we all
sympathize deeply with the stricken
parents and friends in their sad, sad
bereavement. Mrs. G. Z. Landers,
who contracted the same disease by
her close attendance upon her brother
Freddie during his illness, is, we are
glad to state, much better.
Our school will remain closed until
about the 1st of September. j. e.
Hillard, our present teacher, intends
coming back at that time to finish the
present term, and will go right on and
teach the winter term.

A Trip to Philadelphia-Meeting of
the State Central Committee.

On Wednesday morning last we
left Tionesta for Philadelphia to attend
the meeting Of the State Central Com
mittee, which met on the 29th inst.
Being obliged to lay over at Irvineton
about five hours, awaiting the arrival
of the 2. 81 E. train, we concluded to
60 on as far as Warren and wait there.
Not being very well acquainted in the
place, time Jagged somewhat until we
ran across DIR. Berkstresser, Warren's S
boss Dentist. The Doctor was Just
buckling on his hunting accoutre-
ments preparatory to taking a hunt,
sport of which he is passionately
fond. He accompanied US to the
Nail Office where We had the pleasure
Of meeting that veteran editor, Mr.. L.
Cowan, with whom we passed the
forenoon very pleasantly, and to whom
We are indebted for many courteses
shown. Brother Cowan took special
pains to make our visit pleasant, show
ing us around the town, through the
court house, which is one of the finest
in the State, and introducing US to
many of Warren's representative citi-
zens, among whom were Mr.. Russell,
for many years County Commissioners
Clerk; Treasurer Barnes, T. M.
Knapp, Republican nominee for
County Treasurer, and whom the
people will elect if they want an eff
cient and popular officer; and many
others whose names escape Us just now.
We dropped in on Brother Morris Of
the Ledger just before leaving and
found him up to his eyes in work.
Mr.. Morris gets up a splendid paper
but aYfully Democratic. A few
moments in Mr.. w. A. Greaves' studio
and a glance at some Of his paintings
convinced us that this young Artist
has few equals and no supo.iors in
this country. We had the pleasure,
also, Of meeting our next President
Judge, Hon. Wm. d. Brown. Mr..
Brown is one Of the best lawyers in
the State, and has 2 record for integ-
rity and honesty as pure as the driven
snow. He will carry Warren and
Forest counties by overwhelming
majorities and be elected spite of all
opposition.
Leaving Warren on the 2:35 p. m.,
train we assembled the mountain to Kane
at lively speed, passing Stoneham
and Clarendon, the places which are
just now attracting a good deal Of
attention from prominent oil operators.
Some new rigs are going up there, and
there is no little stir in that direction.
The opening Of this new field shows
chat the tendency Of operations is in
the direction Of this county, and a
lively scramble for territory in Forest
Is bound to come at no distant day.
After Kane is reached the grade is
downward, and the way a train ofcars
goes rattling down the hill is terror

 For several years afflicted with a severe form of cstarrh, and to such extent that hearing be- came impaired, and I constantly troubled with roaring sounds in my head It also gave rise to troublesome cough, bronchial irritation and pain in my lungs In fact, condition was such that felt convinced unless something done for my relief, would soon be beyond cure. One physician thought that eventually would be stone deaf another gave his opinion that scatarrh could not be cured and that had to endure best could its pernioious consequences Finding the treatusnt pursued of no benefit, placed myself under the professional care of Dr. Lighthil, of No West 39sh street. whose nu- merous ndorsements for skill and success from we'll known residents of New York city had been brought under my notice. The result of his treatment has been most beneficial. My hearing is perfect, the noises in the head have ceased the pain in my chest disappeared, the bronchial trouble is gone, and
 feel that substantially relieved of what threat ened to be most serious, If not fatal, disease therefore, cheerfully commend Dr. Lghthin for his ability and skill and feel confident that any sinilasy afflicted will be benefited by placing themselves un- der his His treatment gives neither pain nor distress, and readily be borne by the most person.

ALittIe Novel.

From the Pen of a Big Historian.
 ''Mr. Froude sends us the following little novel, /" says the impid story-teller of the Chicago Tribune:
 It was autumn.
 Yes, merry, golden-tinted autumn. The sun poured down it's mellow rays on the laughing fields of grain, and all nature seem- ed to rejoice in the gladness of the ample har- vest The little birds twittered and sang their sweetest and cheeriest notes in the branches of the oak trees that skirted the foot of a cloud-topped hill, while the big ones sat still and looked at them. Far away to the right lay vast marsh, in which water cress- es, sweet-smelling sedges and bullfrogs gently mingled.
 Don't forget that it was a pretty sight.
 Suddenly a boat is seen shooting out from the messy banks that encircle the marsh like a chaplet of laurel In the little craft are seated @ young man and maiden he strong imbed and handsome his face bronzed by the kisses of the burning sun and scent-laden breezes she fair and delicate like the lily, or a Chicago baseball club.
 With powerful strokes he sends the boat shooting through the water, while the rip pies fall away on either side. Suddenly the maiden utters faint shriek, and pallor oerspread her lovely countenance.
 She has seen bullfrog.
 One hand dropped nerveless by her side, and from it fell her hat-a dainty thing of straw and canvas trimmed with flowers. The young man at once plunged into the water to recover the hat. The cruel waves closed over his fair young head, the last thing seen being the part in the middle of it.
 But he omitted to come up again.
 After waiting until it was a betting point that he had gone to stay, the maiden rose in the boat and gave despairing shriek.
 Dead dead for duck hat, i" she moaned, and fell over the starboard side, never know ing that she had got off good thing.
 That night the sexton in little village near the lake laid down one pair-and he was not playing poker either. The pair was the two lovers who had died that day and had been fished out later in the evening
 But where was the bullfrog that had caused the calamity
 o, where, indeed?
