passed through a rock forty feet in

Our institute.

While thinking of the profitable and
pleasant time spent in your town at
tending Court and Teachers Institute,
and being somewhat interested in the
cause of Education, having been at
one time a teacher in your county, |
feel it a privilege as well as my duty
to add few words in regard to the
good work done during the fifteenth
session of our Institute.
Having been kept at the Court
House most of the time during the day
sessions, witnessed but little Of what
was do ne at Institute at such times.
Yet what little l did see in day time,
together with the evening sessions con-
vinced me that a grand work was
being accomplished, and that the
public mind was being aroused in Iio-
nesta and surrounding country as
never before in regard to Educational
matters and while l realize that the
condition of the roads during the week
did not permit. many reaching this
grand treat who otherwise would have
been present, feel that it is the duty
of every one who had the opportunity
of attending, to herald the good news
of this first effort of Prof Hillard' 8
that many more may strive to be pres
ent and lend their influence to make
the next Institute more pleasant and
if possible, more profitable than the
one Just past and / am satisfied by
what | havo seen and heard that the
teachers, directors, and patrons gen
erally, we're convinced Of the import
anco of their presence at these InstI-
tutes, for many say that should theiI
| lives be spared and health permit they
shall be in attendance next year the
entire week.
Hoping these resolutions msy ee
carried out, and the good wors OF cd
ucation be advanced, / am

A Brookston, this county, gentle

Justice Cameron got home safe from
his sojourn on the jury at Tionesta.
The thermometer up here has ranged
all day from 1Oo to 20' above zero.
Abram Bean has been confined to
his home for some time. His trouble
seems to be consumption.
Collector Black is happy; got all
his taxes collected and paid over, and

face, caused by a troublesome tooth.
We learn to-day that Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Westover, of this place, who
are on visit home, in Oswego Co.,

Nov. 81, in regard to our little place
"There is a we'll near this place which
is great natural curiosity. Il was
originally bored for an oil we'll, but
gas and water were struck, which
commenced to flow so rapidly that
further drilling was impossible. The
overAowing well was set on fire and
continues to burn at intervals, throw
ing flame, smoke, oil, water, and other
burning mineral high in the air. Red,
green, blue, white, yellow, and in fact
every c5lored lights are seen. The
we'll is situated on the top of high
hill, and very much resembles q small
volcano eruption. The well, unlike
other burning wells, has no pipe OF
tubes, but bursts from the ground,
causing the stranger to think it nat

zette correspondent, must have been
dreaming about the big Thanksgiving
dinner he expected to get. After
careful investigation we fail to find
the we'll thus described; the nearest

Christmas has come aud gone. New
Years is over and we settle down ID
the routine Of school and home duties
once more. The Look Up Legion had
a very successful festival. Although
the rains descended, and the floods
came, making bad roads in every di-
rection, still the attendance was quite
large everybody seemed to be in
good humor, and the fftesn bright
eyed, white capped, white aproned
young ladies Of the Legion had their
hands full to feed the dozens Of hun
cry visitors who thronged the dining
room and clamored for their suppers.
The sales.table was cleared immedi-
atsly, and the supply did not equal
the demand. The peanut, popcorn
and candy stand was eagerly sur
rounded and the sweets disappeared
like mists OF the mountain.
Much amusement was afforded by
the Fish Pond, in which persistent
anglers cast their hooks (after paying
ten cents for that iaestimable privil-
ege) and white capped mermaid from
the depths of the pond hung on vari.
Gus fish of varied worth. One young
man did not exactly catch whale
but large green pickle landed safely
on shore upon his astOnished hook and
line. A raw oyster on anSther's line
was quite an appropriate object tc
come from pond, more so than the
wristlets, dolls and Santa Claus hand
kerchiefs awarded many patient fish
ers.
