wrestling an armful of eatsbles up
home every evening as a duck to
water. They all come to it, Joe.
There is about the usual stir in
town this week that we generally have
on a court week. Some of the jurors
have failed to put 10 an appearance,
owing, no doubt, to the excellent buck
wheat weather we are having just now.
Mr.. E. E. Clapp of President has
nearly completed the finest road in
northwestern Penna. While the sec.
tion through which the road runs is a
very rough locality, yet the road il
built eighteen feet wide and reduced
to a grade, in no place exceeding two
degrees. The best of bridges have
been built, and it is certainly a "boss
road"
The period for voters to Register
is past, and the time for paying taxes
is at hand. Those who paid 10 taxes
assessed for last year, 1884, or who
voted on age-(between q and 22,)

before Saturday October Sd if they
want to cast legal vote in Novem-

The entertainment given at the
Court House Monday evening was
very we'll patrOnized and passed off
very pleasantly. For the very limit.
ed time spent in rehearsal and prepa-
ration the performances we're quite
good, and all who attended seemed to
get their share of laugh. The affair
netted a nice sum for the M. E.
church.
Yesterday Mr.. A. B. Root came
to town in search of rattlesnake's
heart for some medicinal purpose.
He didn't have long to wait, for Will
Guiton simply took a stroll over to
his private den and in less than an
hour returned with the heart of a
three foot ratiler. Rather handy to
have fellow Of that kind in town in
cases of emergency.
Last Thursday Dan. Corrigan's
residence adjoining his blacksmith
shop at Porky, near Balltown, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire. 1t is sup.
posed that the fire was caused bv some
clothes being carelessly thrown too
near the stove pipe. Mr.. Corrigan
lost nearly all of bis household goods.
The residence of Geo. Mcbride near
Mr.. Corrigan's, was badly damaged
by fire and water.
The Constitutional Amendment
which has been running in our paper
for the past two months is no 60, it
seems. There was a mistake in pre-.
suming that the amendmant had
passed the legislature; it did not re.
ceive the necessary 101 votes, but was
sent to the Governor who signed the
bill. There is grave blunder some.

will perhaps appear later.
John Pollen, Esq, of Hickory,
has purchased new locomotive for
his logging road. The engine is built
by Shay Bros. of Akron, o., and will
do the work of twenty teams with
ease. Their road will, in the near fu.
ture, be extended into Ross Run hol-
low where Messrs. Wheeler, Dusenbu.

titles of the very finest pine, which
will be taken to their Stowtown mill.
