One day last week a man named
Simpson, working on F. Nj. Reck &
Co.'s mill, near Marienville, came
near being killed by being struck on
the head by board that had caught
on the "edger." and was flung back
with terrible force. He was picked
up for dead, but after some time re.
gained consciousness, and is now all
right again.
With to-day we have had 10 con-
secutive days of most excellent sleigh
iug-the best, psrhaps, within the rec
election of the "oldest inhabitant".
During that time there has not been
a time that the heaviest loads could
not be hauled on sleighs with perfect
ease. And yet the weather has been
comparatively mild, and much of the
time it was quite balmy.
There is talk Of removing the
heaters in the mouth of the creek.
They were badly racked by the late
food, and will now be worse obstruc.
ton during rafting season than ever
before hence the necessity for their
removal. When this is done the lum-
bermen will have abundant room to
"couple.up" at the mouth Of the creek,
which has not been the case heretofore.
Under the new rulings of the Post
Office Department papers, books or mer
chandise after reaching their destina.
tioD, cannot be forwarded at the re.
quest of the addressed unless the tran
cient rate of postage is paid thereon,
the only exception being registered
matter of the third and fourth class,
aud "free county newspapers to any
other Office iu the county where priD.
ted and published" Postal cards can
not be forwarded as heretofore.
Mr.. j. S. Range, who has been
taking out square timber for Commits
ioner Henderson on the head. waters
of Queen this winter, was taken with
a severe attack of hemorrhage of the
lungs a few days ago. He was
brought to this place for treatment,
and is now stopping with DR.. Coburn.
Although in a critical condition his
doctor thinks he will get through
safely. We hope his recovery may be
speedy and effectual.
We understand that Mr.. w. Y.
Siggins, who recently disposed of his
Stewarts Run farm, has purchased Of
Mrs. Col. Thomas the old homestead
on River street, now occupied by Mr..
Craig, and will shortly move to twon
and become zone of u.s." On behalf
of all the good people of Tionesta we
welcome Mr.. Siggios and family as
permanent citizens of our borough.
Any town might congratulate itself
upon the acquisition of such people.
Commencing to day TUESDAY
the Pittsburgh, Bradford & Buffalo,
Clarion Couuty's narrow gauge rail-
way, will make a further reduction oi
twenty-five per cent. on fares on all
distances over twenty miles. In view
of the great benefit that this road has
con ferred upon all along the
! line, of its route, it is hoped the above
i'reductioh will be received in the prop
er spirit and lead to a still more in
creased patronage, as they SO we'll de-
servs.-Derrick.
Those who have been there say i
is simply indescribable how the AoOC
tore up things about East Hickory
and at Salmon Greek. At the former
place the trouble all came from Hick
ory creek, which seems to have beer
on a desperate rampage. Many
bridges we're carried away, and on
or two dwellings were torn from thei
foundations, one of which was JOhI
Metzgar's. 1t will take several thoUs
and dollars to put the town in as gooc
condition as it was before the food.
