Mr.. John Tanners mill on
Tubbs Run, which was saving lumber
for Wyman & Co., was burned to the
ground on last Wednesday night a
week. The loss was about $500
with no insurance. The immediate
cause is not known as no one was
about at the time.
Attention is directed to the card
Of the Central House, Oil City, Pa,
in this issue. That veteran caterer,
w. H. Roth, is the proprietor,
which is enough said to draw all the
custom from this section. When
stopping in Oil City make your head
quarters at the Central.

have contracted the habit of trespass.
ing upon the grounds of Riverside
Cemetery, and scattering gravel over
the grass, and in some instances mutt
lating the graves. Parents should
warn their children against such con-
duct, as it may lead to trouble in the
future if persisted in much longer.
Children in their plays do these
things thoughtlessly, and a word
from the proper source will cause
them to Gesist.
Ed. Ritchey, hostler at the Cen.

badly burned, and it is a wonder he
escaped with his life. Frank Thom
son, son Of John Thomson of Stew
arts Run, was standing near at the
time, and was also quite severely
burned about the face.

severe injury received few days before
