fact and form, kind of half-breed between q
grass-hopper and a mule, being irrational,
irresponsible and ir-eyerything but irreproach-
able. Instead of holding our friends in Clear
field accountable for his idle yaporing. we
rather sympathize with them, since fate has
afflicted their otherwise respectable town with
such an immoral, scab-sucking leper
CARD FROM THE BURGESS.
ciedrfeid FIre.-ln justice to the Tyrone
Fire Department recently assailed through
an irresponsible, and as believe, unauthor-

licly, that when the telegram was received
from Clearfield, asking assistance from our
Fire Department, at once proceeded to OBJ
tain consent Of Council, instructing the Chief
of Department TO call out Neptune Fire Com
pany with steamer and hose, and be in in
stant readiness In Lees than thirty minutes
the Company was mounted ON ears and ready
to move Reaching the yard at East Tyrone,
the engineer received orders to await dis
patch from the construction train, which was
then on the road, and while holding over, n
telegram from Cloarfcld announced that the
fire was under control and our services would
not be required.
Our people are ever ready 10 assist their
noighboH in time Of distress, and under no
will they permit themselves to
rest under the odium Of public misrcpresenta-

ANOTHER STATEMENT ON THE
DOMESTIC"

! noticed in the Citizen of last week that
Daniel Connolly, Esq, had published card
in which he says that he saw the original
contract lstween Jones and l. II is evident
that he did not see the original one, be-
cause the fst, or original one was drawn
for $50, and the second or last one was for
S35, for the same machine that Jones asked
me $50 for when first delivered at my house.
When Jones called at my house with the
Domestic" machine, he found n machine
there of another make, and he said that 'the
price of his machine was $50, but since there
is another machine here will make il S50.n
There being others present he called me to
one side and whispered the reduction TO me.
lie drew lease or contract out for the ma
chine at $50, and wanted payment of So on
il. had only 50 with me, and he said. ~

myself, and give you credit for S. on the

came to see about his machine, was sorry

On the following Monday, August LIST, Jones
came to my house again, and brought the
same Domestic with him, and said that he
would sell II to me on time payments, and
make new lease for S35, or reduction of
Sl5 from the former lease. had paid 50 ON
the former lease, or contract, aud he had given
me credit for IS, He then made out lease
for S35, and gave me credit for S. ON ii when
] had only paid S3-this left $50 for me to
pay on time payments at S. per month. Il
repeat that all that am to pay for the above
machine is s33, and that the lease is made
out for s35, and that Jones gave me credit
for S2, or in other words, reduced the machine
from $50 to S33, and Mr.. Katzer now holds
the lease for S35 with credit of So on it,
the balance due them is $50. My reason for

Coal Notes. John Dubois last week pur-
chased the little railroad at the tunnel with
all its equipments, and in addition exchanged
large tract of land east of the mountains
for five thousand acres adjoining his own
land near the tunnel ON this side of the sum
init. He also bought aquantity of timber on
the stump, In a recent talk with him about
matters he said that the railroad would no
doubt commence a round house here before
long, and use his shops to do repairing until
they could arrange for their own. The
Wabash system Of Jay Gould is to start its
trains over this division in short time, and
another track will be laid next Summer He
thinks they will certainly make the division
headquarters here also, as il is the most inn
portant point on the road The new mine
Mr. Dubois is opening holds out to from
three feet six inches to four feet of coal and
of an excellent quality. This is encouraging
as it was predicted by all to be "of' the belt"
in fact, east of the basin, and on the axis
separating the deposits in this region from
that of the Clearlield region.--DuBois Courier.
