Everything is quiet on the Poto.
mac" The Glorious Fourth passed
off in a harmless and deafening rack ct.
l fred of my two bunches Of crackers
and calmly munched my ginger bread
while l watched the balloon which
did not go up Gas usuaD. The streets
we're crowded. The gay young fellow,
hand in hand with his girl, wandered
perspiring around trying to see the
sights. The weather was fine and the
merchants did big business. Thus
another red letter day takes its place
among the things of the past.
The face Of the farmer now wears a
complacent expression. The "fourth"
ushered in a change of weather, and
the hay mows are rapidly assuming
that overfOwing look so comforting to
the beholder. The rye is being har-
vested and wheat is about ready 10
cut. 1t makes me sigh to see the
farmer riding around on his reaper
and binder which kicks off bundle
every rod or 80, as / think of the
many hard days work l have put in
with a cradle. Don't mistake my
meaning; We use baby carriage.
One of our neighbors purchased a
drill this spring to put in corn for
fodder. 1t works complete. He put
in IS acres in two days for himself and
nearly enough for the neighbors to
pay for the drill. He is hustler and
makes farming pay.
One might think that a town
lighted by electricity would not need
any illuminating oil, but We boast Of
three refneries, besides one at North
Warren. They like to locate near
this Tiona or amber oil. 1t makes
good chewing gum. The Muir Rein.
ing Co. have just completed their plant
with a capacity of 5000 bbls, month.
They will employ about is men when
they are running full capacity.
I'm little like Oliver Ditson, when
unexpectedly called upon by some
ladies to return thanks at dinner. 1t
was a little out of his line and rather
than refuse he made the attempt, but
when he was ready to close, he could
not think of the proper form, SO he
finally said, "yours truly, o. Ditson. "

OBITUARY.

DIED-In Tionesta, Pa, July 15
1889, Laura g., wife of r. W. Mer.
rism, aged a6 years, months, and 81
days.
Mrs. Merriam was the youngest
daughter of Howletter and Margaret
Power, and a grand. daughter of George
Power, who is said to have been the
first permanent white settler 10 We
mango county. She was reared in
Franklin, where, In December, 1878,
she was united in marriage with the
husband who survives her. This
union has always been a most happy
and coDgenial one, and was blessed
with the birth Of FIVE children, all of
whom are living.
The death of this mos; eslimable
woman is one of the saddest occur.

ed good salary. BY industry, fru.
gality and close attention to business
he had won the confidence of his en-
ployers, and was doing more than well,
when sickness overlook him, and after
struggle of nearly two years he was
obliged to give up his situation and
seek climate more adapted to his
constitution. He accordingly came
north again, and shortly after located
here about two years ago. The change
did not, as be had hoped, bring with
it an improvement, and his physical
constitution has ever since been broken
down. During all this time his loving
wife devoted herself so faithfully to
his care and comfort that she did not
realize the strain with which she was
taxing her nerves, until about five
months ago, she was suddenly over.
taken by nervous prostration and had
to take her bed, which she was never
again able to leave. Her physician,
nevertheless, had strong hopes of her
ultimate recovery, though necessarily
slow and tedious, until about ten days
ago, when she experienced a severe
back.set, which her weakened consti
tuition was unable to withstand, and
after much suffering she passed peace.

o'clock.
The deceased was most exemplary
woman, a consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church, true and de.
voted wife and loving mother. She
seemed anxious to live and get we'll
because she was 30 much needed in the
care of her afflicted husband and little
children, whose great grief seems un.
bearable.
May He who doeth all things we'll,
comfort the stricken husband and
father, and assist him to bear up
under his great trial.
Funeral services were held at 5
o'clock last evening at the residence,

NEWSY NOTES.

Most of the wool clip in Greene county
has been sold, and the bulk of it brought
80 and 80 cents per pound.
The Bucktail Regimental reunion will
be held at Phillipsburg, Center county,
on Wednesday and Thursday, August
2lst and 22d.
On the 9Th inst, at 8 p. M, the Court
House bell of Cameron county was tolled
90 times, out of respect for Hon. Simon
Cameron, deceased. When this county
was organized and called Cameron, the
General donated the same bell that tolled
at the hour of his funeral.
From the Olean Times: "a correspond
ent says that on the farm of George Clark,
in Ashford, is a spring, the waters of
which divide, part of them running into
stream which empties into Lake Erie, on
to Lake Ontario, and on through the st.
Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean, and
the other part runs into the Great Valley
Creek, thence into the Allegheny River
TO the Ohio, and Mississippi, and finally
into the Gulf of Mexico"
The will of the late General Cameron
has not yet been probated, but among its
bequests are said to be the following: /:
Harrisburg Hospital, $4,000; Harrisburg
Home for the Friendless, $4,000; his Ii
brary and $1,000 go to the Young Mems
Christian Association. Mrs. Duffy, of
Marietta, receives $1,000 in grateful re-
membrance of her uniform kindness to
his son, Simon; German Reformed
nf
$1,000 and parsonage, and his servant,
John Campbell, $4,000.
The Clarion Jdeksonidn gives this bit OF
warning: "a shrewd game was played on
few of our business men one day last
week by couple of sharpers. Their mode
| of procedure was this: One of the rogues
would enter store where they would no
tice lady attendant, and buy from her a
small amount of goods. In pay ment they
would tender five or ten dollar bill, re-
ceive their change, and Immediately leave
the store. In the evening when the money
In the drawer was counted it was discov-
cred that the bills received from these
strangers had been raised from one dol
lar bill to the amount for which they had
been passed. The bills raised are of tho
Silver Certificate issue, and the raise was
made by pasting dark green figure o or
| 10, as the case might be, and which were
| presumably cut from revenue stamp,
over the face of the figure l on the right
hand side of the bill. The left hand side
was torn directly through the vignette,
and was again put together by pasting a
dark piece of MANILA paper on the back
of the bill, and just big enough 10 cover
| the large figure l on that corner. Tho
\ figure on tho left hand corner of the back
was erased with ink, and the entire bill
had been rubbed and creased until it had
| very aged appearance. An expert would
have easily detected the fraud, but it was
a good job, and calculated TO deceive any
/ person unaccustomed to handling much
money. The rogues succeeded in getting
about so from their victims, and got out
of town before the crim0 was discovered.
Our neighboring towns should DO on the
lookout for the chaps"
