Mr.. Agnew, We believe, is the first
native of Forest county to he admitted

Fish stories be fish stories the
world over, but occasionally there
comes along one which the editor must
swallow without a grimace, not even
asking for a smell of the pan after the
crisp little cusses have been lifted out
and devoured. Rev. Rumberger and
Druggist Doutt counted and weighed
their string, caught on Fork Run
Monday, with this result: One hun.
dred and twenty weight, eight pounds
and two ounces.
Bogus coffee is in the market in
large quantities, it is reported. 1t is
made of some kind Of gritty paste,
moulded III exact imitation of the
natural berry, and so like it in color,
either green or Drowned, as to be
iudistinguishable even to many ex.
perts. Its profit to INSCRIPTIONS
dealers is that it is heavier than the
natural berry and cheaper, aud can
be probably mixed with the genuine.
Franklin News.
Court convenes next Monday, and
promises quite a lively week of it.
The first puzzler with which the Judges
will be asked to wrestle is the license
question, which comes up on Monday.
After that the Shipper trial will likely
be the first called, and in all proba.
bility will occupy the greater portion
of the week in its disposal. The at.
tendance of jurors, witnesses aud
%suitors is apt to swell the crowd in
town very materially.
The second contest for a Dem.
crest Silver Medal will be held in the
Presbyterian Church, beginning at s
p, IN. this evening. Doors will be
opened at half past seven, and as we
advised you at the former contest, if
you wish a seat, secure it early,
bringing with you ten cents or more
to deposit in the basket for the pur.
pose of advancing this method of
educating our young folks. Good
music will interline the program.
-Messrs. Dingman & Dale are get.
ting their large tie job at the mouth
of little Tiouesta pretty well whipped,
Messrs. Carr and Shoemaker having
their contract Of delivering them to
Oil City by water we'll on toward com.
p%letion. This was the largest single
purchase of ties hal has been con.
summated in this section since the in.
dustry has been carried on, the mum.

and these wide.awake gentlemen must
have realized handsomely on the deal.
Though the Delaware peach crop
is reported to be considerably dam.
aged, the crop 10 the South Mountain
peach belt is said to have weathered
the recent cold snap very we'll, one
big grower saying that if no greater
damage is sustained than has thus far
been developed, he will have to thin
out fully one half of the crop upon
those of his peach trees that are in
bearing. Now let consumers settle
back conteutedly with visions of
peaches as big as bowls, in their heads.
st. Commissioner Hood gives no.
tice to taxables that he will commence
his street work at once, and wishes it
understood that all who have taxes to
work out must come out promptly or
send substitutes. Heretofore the work
on our streets has Jagged pretty much

their own time to such matters aud do
their work when it suited their con.
v~enience. Mr.. Hood has given a
bond to faithfully and expeditiously
attend to this work and the Council

and to the borough he will deal as
strictly with those whose duty it is to
work out their road taxes, and there
will be no favoriLism shown whatever.
Attention, Capt. George Stow Post.
