ed the streams in this section of the
State to overhowing, and the large
amount of good rafting water that is
going to waste is enough to cause our
lumbermen to sigh. In the meantime
there is not an inhabitant so old, or
that has the cheek to claim, that he
can remember when we had a wetter
spell of weather at this season of the
year than we have had for nearly
three weeks past. Since the great
rains that swept the COnemaugh valley
on the last day of May, scarcely 4S
consecutive hours have passed in
which it did not rain hard. And the
signals are out for more.

company with his father.in law, Mr..
John Jennings, had gone thither about
two months ago in hopes of gaining
relief from that dreaded disease, con-
sumption, and his many friends in
this section were in hopes that the
change might prove beneficial, but he
grew gradually worse instead of bet.
ter. During his three years residence
among Us Mr.. Zeigler made a friend
with every new acquaintance, both in
business and social way, and our
community certainly has occasion to
mourn the loss of most desirable
citizen, whose place will be hard to
fill. He was about "a years of age,
and he leaves no family, his wife
having preceded him in death about
one year, and beside whom, in the
village cemetery in Sunville, Venango
county, his remains, which are ex.
pected to arrive at his former home
there to-day, will be laid to rest.
