Mr.. N. E. Snyder, tonsorial artist, has
become the owner Of lot Of ground
in the business portion of Marienville,
Forest county, with view to erecting
a building and locating there in the
near future. The purchase was made
last week from Mr.. Edwin Bevier,
also of Brookville. Mr., Harp is an
industrious young gentleman, and de.
serves success in his undertaking.

The dwelling house occupied by
Mr.. Philo Barnes, at Stowtown, Hick.
ory township, was consumed by fire on
Friday of last week. The fire origi-
mated from natural gas, the pipe con.
veying it into the house having become
detached from the stove, while the
family were temporarily absent, Moth.
ing worth speaking Of was rescued
from the flames, and Mr.. Barnes loss
is a total one, he having no insurance
on his household goods, we understand.

ling were picking out route and
measuring the distance for a telephone
line from Nebraska 10 this place, last
Saturday. Orion Siggins of West
Hickory, who has the agency in this
section for the Telephone Co., will su-
perintend the putting up of the line,
which will be done with as little delay
as possible. We hope this is the pre-.
liminary step to the up.the. creek
railroad. And, blythe. way, that rail.
roads agoing to come; mark that
down in your pass book.
Representative Randall came
home to spend the Sabbath with bis
family, returning Monday. He says
there is some talk of amending the
game laws SO as to prohibit the killing
of deer for a period of three or five
years, and if those of his constituents
who are interested in the matter would
like to have such an amendment made
he would be pleased to hear from them.
We believe it would be just the thing
to do. as this fine game is getting
scarce in this section, and suspen.
sion of the operation Of the law for 3
or 5 years would increase the supply
Of venison very materially. Give the
deer a chance.
The Postoffice Department intro.
duced a new postal card on the first ol
January. The new cards differ from
the old ones 10 that they furnish pri-
vacy in the CORE spondence contained
upon them. 1t is very much like. q
double card Of the old pattern. The
back fold is split diagonally and opens
square out. The four corners are fold.
ed and joined together in the center,
when the card has been written upon,
with piece of gummed paper. The
card weighs less than an ounce, and
will contain no more writing than do
those now in use.
"A quiet wedding took place at the
Central House last Wednesday at 2
o'clock p. IN, only the immediate rel.
atives of contracting parties being
witnesses to the happy event. The
bride, Miss Nellie Brownell, is the &C
complished daughter of Landlord
Brownell, and one of Tiouesta's most
popular young ladies who will be much
missed by her society friends here.
The fortunate and happy groom is Mr..
John Colegrove, one of Corry's lead
ing young business men, where they
will make their future home. The
REPUBLICAN joins in the general good
wishes and congratulations extended
on this occasion.
We observe that a member of the
House at Harrisburg has introduced O
bill to bring bear under the protec'
tion of the game laws. A good way
to cure that chappy from wanting tc
throw any safeguards around this fe
rocious beast would be to plant him
