"A Sharon squire, the other day, i'm
posed a fine of 81 and costs on a tramp for
knocking man on the head and render
ing him insensible and robbing him. The
victim had two ugly cuts on the head, and
when he was found was "in a pool of
blood, and the Meadville Gazette believes
the squire would have fined the robber
twice as much IL he had killed his victim.
Easter Sunday was most lovely day,
as bright, balmy and breezeless an one
as could be wished for. The churches
were all we'll attended where services were
held. At the NJ. Il. Church in the evening
special service was rendered by the
Sabbath School, which was greatly enjoy
ed by all present. Tho church was hand
somely decorated with evergreens and
flowers.
Mr.. Justis Shawkey arrived with his
family from Phillipsburg, Kansas, on
Friday evening last, and will again make
Tionesta his home, having traded his
western farm TO Mr.. Lawrence for his ho-
tel property. He will begin the renova-
ton of the house at once, and expects to
be ready for business in the course of a
couple of weeks. In common with the
many friends of the family in this section,
we welcome them back to their old home.
One of the stage horses owned and
driven by James Watkins on the Cooks
burg star route, 'gave up the ghost on
last Saturday, after having wrestled with
a severe attack of the collie for some time
previous to his demise. His death oc-
CURED at Cooksburg, and as the mail had
TO be delivered at this point, Mr.. Watkins
was compelled to shoulder the bag, and
make the distance, IS miles, on ''shanks
mare" He of course perspired freely
during the trip Clarion Rep Gazette.
Collector Garfield says there are still
few taxables on his list who are yet in
arrears for last years taxes. He mas been
very patient with these parties; much
more so, in fact, than strict interpreta-
ton of his official duties will warrant, but
his stock of patience is now completely
exhausted-every remnant gone-and the
music will now begin very shortly, and
those who will not heed this last warning
note will experience both cost and trouble
forthwith. There will be no more mon
keying.

The fox harvest has been unusually
brisk during the past winter, the catch
being stimulated, no doubt, largely by the
act allowing bounty of Sl.00 per scalp on
the scavengers. Last Saturday young
John Huddleson, of near Stewards Run,
came in with nest of five which he had
dug out of their hole and upon which he
realized dollar each. They were about
a week old, and were disposed of to some
of our citizens for pets. He also killed
the old one. A few more seasons like this
and Sir Reynard will be pretty well wiped
out in this neck of woods, and then the
small game will have chance to increase
and multiply.
