coming a member ofthe "forlorn hope"
Professor Bell, resigned his posi-
ticn as principal of the borough school

VIII. Klinestiver and his wife re-
turned from their trip to Minnesota
last Saturday, fully satisfied that that
is little bit the codest cline on top
of ground. Billy contracted a very
severe cold while out there, which took
about twenty pounds of flesh off his
body and came near finishing him en-

Last, week Mr.. and Mrs. Hoskins
broke up house keeping, intending to
leave Tionesta before, long. They
have not selected an abiding place as
yet, but when they do it will doubtless
be somewhere in the oil regions. We
are sorry to lose such agreeable neigh
bors from our midst, and wish them a
pleasant future in whatever communi-
ty they may cast their lot.

petition was circulated which was very
largely signed asking for the appoint

misfortune, two years ago oflosing one
Of his legs. How the matter will ter

We are informed that during a

allowed to 60 unpunished, and thai
the perpetrators will be taken to the
lock- up if caught in the act of disturb

boys, aud we'd advise you to memo
your ways.

had placed upon one of the wheels
slipped, allowing him to fall with hi'
face upon an old sewing machine
which stood in the barn, and bluising

We learn with regret that Col
