cackled last week over the arrival Of a
double egg-a small egg inside a big
one measuring Z by 8 inches and both
perfect. This is not a trout story
Warren Mail. Well, what sort Of
story is it, tbenH
The steady rains from Friday till
Monday Of the past week brought the
river and creek to more than good
rafting stage, and as there we're some
odds and ends left along the creek
from the last food, due advantage was
taken of the fresheiiby the lumbermen,
and we believe all got nicely cleaned
up.
"A communication from Repre-.
sentative Randall, in this issue, on the
repeal Of the fence law, will be Of in
terest to our Forest county readers.
AS will be seen the act repeating the
fence law Of 100 is of little or no
effect in this section, and al foot
fence is still required. In other words,
the repeating act is one that don't
repeal.
We this week set aside a column
of our paper for the benefit Of the
Constitutional Amendment Associa.
tion Of this county until after the
election on June 18th. The Executive
Committee will have exclusive control
of the matter which appears in the
same, and as the time for voting draws
near no doubt the agitation will grow
quite interesting.
"A meeting of Clarion Presbytery
will be held in this place on the
fourth Tuesday Of June next, for the
purpose of ordaining and installing
Rev. J. V. McAninch as pastor of the
Tionesta Presbyterian Church. Rev.
w. F. Wood will preach the sermon /;
Rev. j. M. McCurday will deliver the
charge to the pastor, and the charge
to the people will be delivered by
Rev. II. j. Earseman. A number of
other ministers and layman of this
Presbytery is expected to be present
on this occasion.
-"Billy" McKim, of the Railway
Mail Service, who was relieved shortly
before the termination Of the Cleve.
land Administration, without cause,
has been re-iDstated aud will have the
satisfaction of succeeding the man who
succeeded him. Billy has served the
Department faithfully for number of
years, lost part Of one of his hands,
in the discharge of his duty, has al
WAYS been found prompt, accurate
and competent and richly merits the
recognition displayed in his re instate
ment. - Blizzard. Mr.. McKim's many
friends hereabouts will read this bit Of
news with good deal of pleasure.
Mr.. Kelly shot his latest we'll on
the Baird tract, Dawson, yesterday,
but it can hardly be called a bowling
success. 1t will produce little oil,
perhaps barrel or two day. j. F.
Proper and O. Jameson have located
q well on the east side Of the railroad
track, Gilbert Jameson farm, aud the
rig, patent concern belonging to
Amos Kinch, of Lickingville, went
through here yesterday. Drilling will
soon commence there. Mr.. Wolcott
has rig up for a new we'll not far
from the mouth of Little Hickory
creek, and will probably get the drill
started the first Of next week. The
we'll on the Hill farm, is still bothered
with fishing job.
DR.. John Curwen, Physician 10.
Chief and Supt. of Warren State
Hospital for the Insane, says that the
wards of the Hospital are now so
crowded that to accommodate recent
cases of mental disorder, which by
law have precedence, and to avoid
making those now in the Hospital
more uncomfortable, it is necessary to
give notice that cases of long standing
mental disorder and cases of imbecili.
ty cannot be received, and it is par.
ticulsrly desired that due notice of the
intention to place persons in the Hos.
pital should be given to the Physician
in charge in order that he may be
able to notify the applicants if such
persons can be admitted.
Hon. j. B. Agnew, whose errand
to Washington we mentioned last
week, returned Friday in quite
pleasant mood over his reception by
the powers that be" at that, Just now,
