visited in Tionesta several weeks last
summer year, both Of Cooperstown,
Venango county, were married on the
21st Of October last. Their TionestS

prosperous future. p. S.-Snce the
above was in type the bride and groom,

Hon. Harry White is about to
bring suit for libel against the editor
of the Indiana National, F. M. Smith.
Nothing was too villianous for that
sheet to publish during the campaign,
and perhaps a vindication Of the
rights Of citizens before the law would
have a salutary effect in shutting the
mou tbs of the mud.sliDgers in the
uture.-BroOkuiHc Republican. We
hope while he is At it Gen. White will
haul that man Tom. St. Clair over the
Goals in good shape.
The family of H. w. Ledebur, of
Nebraska, Pa, one Of onr worthy
County Commissioners has been Sc.
verely afflicted with diphtheria of late.
Four of his children have been down
with it, and yesterday, Tuesday, Bes.
ME, six-year-Old child died. The
other children, the physiclaA says, are
out of danger. The funeral will take
place tomorrow, Thursday, at 1000
o'clock. The stricken parents can
rest assured that they have the kind
sympathies of their many friends in this
hour Of great trial.
The river and creek froze over
at this place on Sunday night and on
Tuesday loaded teams crossed at the
bridge, which is evidence that the
weather has been somewhat chilly
hereabouts, to say the least. A large
amount of lumber is stuck and frozen
in the creek between this place and
Newtown, in all upwards of 25 RATS,
which will be in bad shape unless the
weather soon moderates. It is not
likely this weather will continue long,
but if it does some of our lumbermen
will be badly left.
As warning to bill defacers, who
are in the habit of mutilating hand.
bills, the following law OH the subject
should be carefully considered "That
any persons cought mutilating, de-
stroying, tearing down, or removing
any show bill, placard, poster, or sd-
vertisement, posted on a wall, bill
board, or other structure shall be fined
not less than S25 or moro than $100
for the first offense, and for the second
ofenss the penalty shall be imprison-
ment in the county Jail no less than
three or more than six months"
"A number of the young men of
this place met last evening and organ.
lied themselves into some sort of a
mutual admiration society, the object
of which we have not yet learned. The
officers lected are as follows Presi-
dent, P. M. Clark Vice President,
w. L. Klinestiver Secretary, G. NJ.
Shawkey; Treasurer, j. F. Proper
Marshall, l.. M. Vought. The society
has been dubbed the "S. s. ST." and
meets every Tuesday evening. If the
list of officers is a fair sample of the
membership, We would advise our citi.
zons to keep close watch of their
clothes lines, hen.roOsts, etc. Who
will be the first victim depOnent saith
not.
