A Big Claim.

PITTsBURG, Pa, February 25.-At-
torneys in this city, in conjunction with
counsel residing in Canada, have about
completed preparations to enter suit
against certain residents of the town of
Bastard, in the district of Johnstown,
Canada, to recover piece of property
lying in that district and estimated
to be worth 100000. The
claimant of the property is
a former Pittsburger named Mrs
Mary E. Hicks, who now resides at 80
Cornelia street, Chicago. Mrs. Hicks
maiden name was Ayres, and her claim
is based on will made by her mother
Mary Ayers, in 1911, by which her
daughter is made her sole heir.

NUMBER I
American Pork I'm France.

LONDON, Feb 2S.-The increase in the
price of pork in France has caused
great pressure to be brought upon the
government, through the chamber of
deputies, to remove the embargo upon
the importation Of pork from America
This pressure has been persistent since
the beginning of the present session,
and will probably result in the removal
OF the existing restrictions. The mono
polists who now control the market for
hog products in France are furious
at the prospect of change They are
now trying to secure legislation to CON-
pei the rigorous inspection of American
pork at the port of entry. The cost of
this inspection would be assessed upon
the importers, and would of course be
added to the price of pork. This
would bring the price of the imported
article above that of the home product,
and thus virtually continue the ex-
clusion of American pork. The depu-
ties, however, are fully aware of the
meaning and objects of this movement,
and the success is doubtful.

Getting Down to Hard-Pan.

They were talking about hard times
and the general disinclination to buy
large stocks or heavy investments,
when bald-headed man edged into
the crowd and said:
Gentlemen, we have been living be-
yond our means, and we must get
down to hard-pan and begin over
again.
That may be all very true" replied
one of the others. but who will
begin?''
Il have already begun" said the
bald-head. II was worth $50, 900;
bought $50, 600 worth of city lots and
started to build $4,000 mansion.
The result is that am right down to
bedrock and ready to begin anew. Do
any of you happen to know a good
opening for dancing master?"- Val

Glen Haven.

The river is perfectly safe to walk
over yet. Ice only about two feet thick,
and no more thaw this time.
The grain trade has been quite lively
for some days past. Oats have sold as
high as q cts, corn 80, wheat from go
to ~ barley 40, rye 45.
Mr.. VIM. Humphrey, and wife from
Patch Grove are here visiting their son
Alfred Humphrey. Mr.. Bush and wife
from Iowa, are here visiting their neice
Mrs. Josie Stewart.
We had quite disturbance in our
town few days ago, which terminated
in fight. The night of the Masquer-
AIDE a young man by the name of Heigle
turned team out of doors belong
ing to a man by the name of
Heller, and put his in their place,
causing one of Heller's horses to take
lung fever from the exposure. In order
to get value received for the trick, Hell
Ter proposed to give him good whip
ping. As our citizens would not allow
them to fight in the village, they
agreed TO 60 out of town, and fight it
out. Accordingly they started out with
about 20 seconds to see fair-play. 1t
resulted in Heller knocking his oppon-
ent out of the ring in the first round,
giving him black eye, and bloody
face, and teaching him that the way of
the transgressor is hard.
The river is alive with teams hauling
wood from the islands, more wood than
ever saw hauled before in one winter.
The times must be improving from
the amount of timber being hauled out
of town daily.
Mr.. r. Parkins met with an accident
with his team on Tuesday last. In turn
ing short with a load of wood, the
sleigh turned over, throwing the wood
onto the horses. causing them to break
loose from the sleigh and run away.
One horse was badly hurt by striking
hltching post, and the other took
down the river and was not found un.
til the next day.
Also team of Jacob Kuenstcr took
fright on the island, and came to town
minus sleigh, harness and everything
else. No one hurt.
We are to have basket sociable at
Ginters Hall next Wednesday evening,
the 4th, for the benefit of Rev. Mr..
Simms our methodist minister
The baskets are sold at auction to the
highest bidder, and and are to contain
provisions enough for two perso ms
only. The lady's name being concealed
in the basket, the party purchasing
on examining, and finding the name
takes the lady to supper. 1t no doubt
will cause good deal of sport, as we'll
as profit to our minister. There is
every prospect for an early commence
ment of work on our river railroad, prop
rty is being paid for and piles and ties
bought daily all along the line.
