ly read the note to the assemblage and

getting fits lately that the new subject
be taken from the lawyers Of the Ju.

The Road bill has passed first read.
Jog and is now subject to amendment.
A copy Of this bill has been sent by
your member to each newspaper in the
county, to each board of road com.
missioners in the townships, and about
fifty copies to different parts of the
county. As will be seer parts of it
do not suit our county at all. All the
pay going to the County Engineer and
no pay going to Supervisors who have
much work TO do and reports to make
is not what the county of Forest will
take kindly to, and from all your
member a learn they won't have TO
swallow that dose. Anyhow, not if he
can help it. My impression is that as
the bill now stands it can not pass,
but will be much modified. If a large
appropriation is made by the State for
road purposes it will greatly influence
the passage of the bill.
Copies Of Education bills, Lumber.
mems bill, etc, have been mailed to
the newspapers and persons interested.
Your member reported from the com.
mittee Of Counties and Townships the
road bill known as THE road bill OF
the Engineers of Western Penn'a.
This was done as complimentary to
the Engineers for their excellent work.
The bill will not be called up so no
person need worry ovc: that.
He has also introduced by request
a number of bills from the board oil
health and sanitary societies. This
does not mean that he will support
them unless it is proper so to do but
all fair bills have a right TO he read in
place and discussed in committee.

NEWsY NOTES.

Many years practice have given c. A..
Snow q Co., Solicitors of Patents at WASH
ington, d. c., unsurpassed success in OBJ
tanning patents for all classes of invention.
They make a specially of rejected cases,
aud have secured allowance of many
patents that had been previously rejected.
Their advertisement in another column,
will be of interest to inventors, ~patentees,
manufacturers, and all who nave to do
with patents.
The girls of a neighboring town have
formed a sort of an organization and have
pledged themselves that not one of them
will eve marry a man who is not intelli-
gent, honest, industrious, good natured,
clearly in person and apparel, healthy,
sober, a church member and a total alb
stainer from a liquor, tobacco and profan-
ity. We are afraid some of these maidens
are certain to live and die old maids, for
only newspaper men possess all these
qualifications and there is not enough to
supply all.
The skunk has the heaviest fur Of any
animal in the country, and is consequent
ly valuable and salable, although when
dressed it is very small. About so per
cent. of all the skins taken in the United
States go to Europe. G. NJ. Lampson has
a great sale in London three times a year,
one of which has just closed. At this sale
there were disposed of, among other skins,
10000 coon, 100000 muskrat, los, 900

The Grand Army of the Republic of the
United States will ask that there be a week
set apart during the Worlds Fair, Chica-
go, to be known as "Grand army Week.
during which it is designed to have a
grand reunion of the old armies of the
Potomac, the James, the Tennessee and
Cumberland, with all the other depart
ments, TO join in a grand parade and re.
view. 1t will also be proposed that the
President and Commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic review the great
parade of $50, 900 of the old veterans of the
war, who are to be formed in divisions
and army corps as they served in the
army, commanded by the senior officer OF
each army living.
A lady fashion writer says in the Pitts
burg Dispatch; To be stylish nowadays
one must write a very peculiar hand,
which originated with sorle of the leading
lights of the professional stage as so many
fashions do. In describing it l would say
that it is Il see-saw chirography, a 'now-
you're-up-now-down' design. The first
letter is on the line, the next ascends a
degree or so, while the third returns to
the original line, and so throughout the
word. The characters are inclined only a
trife to the right, and are large, round and
legible. Tho writing is s%trikingly attract
i've when written by one accustomed TO it,
but remarkably funny and crazy-looking
when written by a novice. However, a
little patience will be rewarded by as see
sawy an effect as one would wish.

GREATEST FLOOD SINCE 1866.

The Allegheny river was the high.
est last night, it has been at this place,
on a natural rise, for twenty. six years,
or since the memorable food Of the
spring of 1865, when the lowlands
we're swept from its source to the
mouth. Tionesta creek also yesterday
reached its highest point since that
great flood. The heavy and almost
incessant rain from Sunday night till
last night, with the large body Of snow
and ice still left in the big woods,
could scarcely be expected to produce
any other result. Strange 10 say, in
this region, or rs far as can be ascer.
tanned, the damages done by the flood
have been comparatively small con.
sidering the magnitude Of the rise.
The water is now backed up into the
lower portion Of the town, and some
of the residents along Water St.,
"moved back" last night as a precau'
ton against possible danger, although
all could have remained in their domi.
Giles without danger, as about mid.
night the water had reached its limit
of height and Immediately began to
recede. The principal losses have
been by lumbermen and jobbers along
Tionesta creek. and the drift" has
been mostly cav. logs, with some rail.
road tics mixed in. According to old
residenters the river still lacked be-
tween two and three feet of reaching
the high.water mark of 1865.
Yesterday morning between nine
and ten O'Clock a horse was seen float.
ing down the creek and passed out in.
to the river. Something resembling a
pair of tbills seemed to be hitched to
the animal, but those who saw the
horse could not get near enough to
distinguish whether it was that or
d%riftwood. A dispatch from Sheffield
last night throws some light on the
subject: 1.-TWO parties named Dalton
and Mcbride, of Porkey, lost a horse
and buggy while driving along the
creek road and narrowly escaped with
their lives" Other news from the
head Of the creek says, that the dam
at Martins Station gave way, letting
between 5000 and 1000 logs loose.
They must have lodged along the
creek, as no such amount passed here,
unless during last night, although at
times yesterday the 'algereenipg" was
quite profitable.

RIVERS AT P%ITTsBURG.

At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
both the Monopgahela and Allegheny
showed 26 feet and still rising at the
rate of 6 inches per hour. The ALE.
gheuy is higher than at any time since
1888, when it reached 80 feet, and it
was thought at 1 o'clock this morning,
that the food would equal that. The
greatest food is in the Allegheny,
which has backed up the Monongahela
for miles. Should the river raise much
more, which seems probable, great
damage is looked for.

What q Modern Gun Can Do.

Unless one is actually brought
into business relations with the
great science of modern warfare. it
is difficult to conceive of the terrible
power of the latest and largest guns.
These engines Of destruction, weigh.
ing 10 tons, hurl projectile OF
solid steel 16 inches in diameter and
nearly four feet long at velocity
of 2,O79 feet a second. When tested
recently, one Of these guns sent q
shot through twenty inches Of steel
armor, 8 inches of iron, 20 feet OF
oak, 5 feet of granite, II feet OF
concrete and feet of brick. Com.
paratively, locomotive weighing
200, 900 pounds would have to spin
along the tracks at the rate of l35
miles an hour to strike blow equal
to that projectile. Think OF the
damage wrought in a railroad coll
lision where the train speeds along
at the rate of thirty miles an hour,
and one may calculate the destruct-
iveness of modern ordnance.-Ex.
