NEwSY NOTES.

The Chautauqua assembly Herald will
make its appearance July %, and continue
daily, Sunday excepted, for five weeks.
Maj. d. V. Derickson, one Of Meadville's
most prominent citizens, is hopelessly i'll.
Both mind and power of speech are gone,
and the body must soon perish. His three
daughters and two sons are at his bedside.
The body of young Nelson f. Sterrett,
of Titusville, who was drowned near Fair
Point, Chautauqua Lake, OH the Fourth of
July, has been recovered. The parents of
the young man had offered 81 900 reward
for successful search.
Talmage never said truer thing than
that one of the noblest things in our hu-
man nature is the feeling that prompts us
to say nothing but good of the dead, and
the meanest thing in our nature is to wait
until they are dead before saying it.
The condition of John Lynd, of siver-
lyville, who had his back broken, remains
about the same. Though he has passed
the dangerous period, his body is dead
from the waist down, aside from the life
given by the circulation of the blood, and
must so remain as long as he lives
Blizzard.
A Nypano official at Meadville informs
Tribune reporter that a Oscar train of
dressed meat, such as are now being haul
ed over the line at the rate of five trains
daily, represents a merchandise value of
about $4,000, equal to about $375,OOO
worth of that class of freight passing east
daily over this line.
James Polk Abbott, of Bradford, died
last Sunday, aged 40 years. From birth
he never knew what it was to stand on his
feet. The bones of Mr.. Abbotts legs con-
tanned no animal matter and were very
brittle. One of them was broken q times
and the injury was as painful as a similar
mishap to any man.
The Postmaster General has recently
established new daily postal route be-
tween Leeper Station and Scotch Hill, and
with the same order the service on the
route between Clarion and Scotch Hill was
curtailed. Commencing on Monday, July
| 20, the service will end at Helen Furnace,
instead of Scotch Hill, as heretofore
Clarion Republican.
Don't forget that there's no economy in
turning down the wick of an oil lamp. A
fair experiment will show that in either
case about the same amount of oil is con-
sumed; only, in case the wick is low, the
oil is not fully consumed, but turns into
gas that poisons the air. 1t is a deadly gas
and is the unsuspected cause of much i'll
health. Always keep your lamps burning
in the ordinary way, or else blow the
flame out.
Crows are not so black as they look and
deserve our commiseration. We have it
on the authority of Ira Munsee and NJ. v.
Blore, who have watched their habits this
summer. Each of the gentlemen named
have field of potatoes near the woods.
Munsee went out to paris green his field
when he saw very large flock of crows
who seemed to be wonderfully busy, while
few stood on the fence and trees as senti-
nels. The army were among the potato
rows picking off the bugs. Upon exami-
nation no bugs were found in the field.
Mr.. Blore found similar state of affairs
in his field. The blacks are coming to the
front.-MiU Village Herald.
In these warm days when one feels in
clined to spend good deal of time in
keeping cool and quiet, it is restful to sit
down with good periodical to read; and
no better one can be found than the mid
summer number of Peterson's Magazine.
Unlike the Peterson of old days, which
consisted entirely of stories, the new Pet
erson offers numerous bright attractive
features, which appeal to the entire family
circle. 1t is profusely and handsomely
illustrated, and got up in manner that
makes it rank with the four dollar maya
zines in appearance, as it has long done in
merit. Its stories and poems are from the
pens of many of our leading authors and
its illustrated articles and miscellaneous
papers are always as interesting as they
are varied. The August number is a
capital specimen of this fine magazine
Terms, $2.CO year; sI.0O for six months.
