NEWSY NOTES.

Johnsonburg, Elk county, is now an
extensive shipping point for oil, about
1000 barrels daily being sent by the in
dependents.
William Walker, of Greensburg, last
week celebrated his ninety-third birthday.
He has voted for every Republican Presi-
dent, and is still bale and hearty.
Nearly seven hundred members of the
G. A. r.. in this State, died during 1890.
This is a larger death rate than any pre-
vious year, and shows plainly that he
veterans are growing old.
William Sweet, of S~iverlyville, a freight
brakeman on the W. n. Y. q p. road, was
killed by the cars at Warren, at $50
Sunday evening. While stepping from a
box car 10 the tank of the engine, he fell
beneath the wheels. Twenty cars passed

before the train could be stopped. He was
dead when picked up. He has a wife and
seven children living at Siverly.

Mr.. F%rampton will occupy the Center
House after April LIST.
Mr.. Philip Paultrowitch will open a Jew
elry store in the building lately vacated
by Mrs. Sarah Mohney.
Mr.. NJ. Patterson started in the grocery
business. He has received a choice lot of
groceries and will guarantee satisfaction
to all who may patronize him. He is the
right man in tho right place.
Houses are in great demand with prices
high, and moving is on the increase daily.
1t is estimated that over one hundred
houses will be built here the coming sum-
mer.
The Acme Extract Works are run to
their full capacity. No more accidents
have happened since the scalding of Mr..
Schwartz, except Mr.. Reedy letting the
engine run down the track and report for
itself at the Office.
1t is rumored that some parties nave dis
covered gold ore at Gilfoyle and have sent
it to an assayer to nave it analysed.
Some of the citizens of this place were
successful in securing leases at the Wat
son Farm oil field and getting good wells
there, but the general opinion is that the
sane is too shallow to make a very prolific
field.
Mr.. Frank Dickinson of Brookston was
in town not long since dickeriug for tho
next bark crop. 1t is generally believed
that bark will sell for better prices than

well informed citizens say thUy will be
neither pro nor con.

SOMETHING NOVEL.

We noticed last week the entertain.
mentt to be given at the Presbyterian
Church, Friday evening, April Sd, in
which an award of a Silver Medal
will be made by three disinterested
judges, The growing favor in which
these contests are held, the many cities,
towns, villages and country places
taking advantage of the munifcent
offer, the advantage to our young
people, and the money .ouated to this
purpose by q man, axe it necessary
for us to briefly outliL the conditions
upon which contests are entered into /:
W. Jennings Demorest, of the popular
ladies' fashion monthly, donates the
medals. Any 8 persons between the
ages of II and 81 years can contest
for a silver medal of handsome design,
and failing the first time may compete
the second time for this silver medal.
light persons having been awarded a
silver medal may together compete for
a gold medal but once. Eight having
won gold medals can compete together
for a grand gold medal but once, and
eight persons having been awarded
grand gold medals may together com.
pete but once for a gold medal stud.
ded with diamonds. Books are fur
nished by the Demorest Bureau, full
of compositions for recitation from
which those entering for a prize must
make a selection. Three judges are
chosen who make the award.
The first contest in Forest county,
will occur, as stated, this coming Fri.
day evening, and with a free admission
there will hardly be standing room.
Of course, we suppose, a collection
will be taken. The silver medal will
be on exhibition in May, Park & Co.'s
window until Friday, 8 p. m.

was a hopeless victim of consumption and
that no medicine could cure her. Her

fruit and confectionery store in Titusville,
was troubled for a good while by the theft
of goods from his place. on the evening
of the goth inst. when closing the store,
he set a loaded shotgun at the door where
he suspected the mar entered. He ar
ranged it i'm such a way that he supposed
it would wound the intruder on the legs
in case he opened the door. A string was
attached to the Loo knob and to the trig-
ger, so that the opening of the doOr would
discharge the gun. About 8 o'clock that
night the report of the gun was heard. It
was found that the load had entered the
left breast of a boy named Johnny Barnes,
killing him Instantly. The lad was in his
18th year and was small for his age. The
parents of the lad live in Titusville. The
boy, 1t appears, was the one who had been
committing the depredations, instead Of
the tramps who were suspected. A coro-
ner's jury returned a verdict according to
the facts, without comment. No further
action was taken until Friday last, when
District Attorney Best instructed Justice
Strouse that it was his duty TO enter pro-
ceedings against the man who placed the
gun. He says: "Whether a man has the
right to deliberately plant a death trap,
and with it take n human life, oven under
such circumstances as those surrounding
the case in question, is a matter to DO de-
cided by a higher tribunal han mere
street opinion" The case is a novel one
and will excite general interest.

The P~resbytery of Clarion will
owen at E%denburg, Clarion county,

spring meeting. Those expecting to
attend should notify Rev. H. F.
Earseman, Knox, Pa. A narrative,
prepared by each session according to
the outline" in Book of Rules, is to
be sent to Rev. j. V. McAnincb, at
Tionesta, Pa, by April 18th. Pastors
or clerks of sessions receiving blanks

S. Elder, Clarion, Pa, by April 10th,
Attention is directed to the new
ad. Of Scowden &c Clark, in this issue.
This enterprising firm was never in
better trim for turning out new work,
and never had a finer display of new
work on hand than now. They aim
to give customers the very best for
their money, never sighting a job nor
using any but the best material to be
had, and a warrant every part of a
vehicle that comes out of their factory.
They have lately taken the agency for
some of the most approved agricul.
tural machinery aud sell it down low.
In fact their prices are all down, when
the superior quality of their work is
considered. Don't 20 away from home
for anything in their line. They'll do
better by you than you can do else.

The ladies of the Presbyterian
Church were taken by a happy thought
not many days ago, and Immediately
set to work to carry it into execution.
1t concerned their esteemed pastor,
Rev. j. v. McAninch, although he was
kept in profound ignorance of what
was going IN until the proper time
arrived. Last Friday evening he was
invited to take tea with the family of
MI. A. B. Kelly, and at about 7:30
o'clock a large number of his congre.
cation rang for admission to the cheer
full mansion. At a given signal S. D.
Irwin, Esq, arose, and addressing the
rather astonished minister, in q neat
speech, on behalf of the ladies, pre-.
sented him with a beautiful gold
watch, as q slight token of the high
esteem in which he is held by his con.
g~regation. Mr.. McAninch attempted
a reply, but it vas evident be was too
much overcome by surprise to do
himself justice in expressing his graf.
itude to the kind donors. The inside
case of the watch bears in handsome.

count of the wonderful revival that
you have had in the M, E.. Church.
| rejoice greatly with you, and would
have been glad to have participated in
that great and glorious work. Between

have had a hard time of it. He don't

the people triumph. l rejoice in your
great religious prosperity. Please

that greater things are in reservation

The Manufacture of Mirrors.

Early in the Sixteenth century manu-
factory Of glass mirrors was first estab-
lished on commercial scale in Venice
and the republic enjoyed monopoly OF
this profitable business for $50 years.
The makers of looking glasses formed an
important corporation among them
selves and were allowed unusual priv
ileges. This process was to blow cylin-
ders of glass, which were afterward fat
tened upon a stone, carefully polished
and silvered ON the back with an ANAL
gam. In this way quite large ones were
produced, sometimes measuring as much
as four feet III length.
The secret was carefully guarded and
the laws were enforced which declared
that any workmen at the trade who car
ried his art to a foreign state must return
upon requisition on penalty of imprison-
ment for his nearest relatives. IF, not
withstanding this penalty, he refused to
return, emissaries were sent to kill him.
Nevertheless, in 1865 Colbert, at that
time prime minister of France, imported
from Venice twenty makers of looking
glasses, who set up their business in the
Fauberg ST. Antoine.
Before long the French mirrors excell-
ed the Venetian, and fresh impulse was
given to the art in 1901 by the discovery
of a process for making plate glass.
From that time to this the looking glasses
made in France have been the best in
the world. Washington Star.

Naturally animals resent any attempt
to cure them, and it requires an amount
of coaxing to get them to take medicine
that would exhaust the patience of most
people. A sick lion will lie in its cage
most of the time, or sit up on its
launches, with its head dropping little
and all of the fire gone out Of its eyes.
1t will allow its keeper to enter and pat
its head, but it will not touch the care
fully prepared medicine unless it is con-
cealed in some delicious morsels of FRESH
meat.-NeW York Epoch.

THE OLD STAGE DOOR.
.ris nm n littlo allevwav

IT'S up q little alleyway,
Where dust and darkness reign.
With all the kindred mysteries
That follow in their train.
The tragic and the comic blend,
Just as they did of yore;
Look out, or else you'll tumble
AT the old stage door.
The paint that once bedecked IL
Has vanished long ago,
Like that on many q footlight queen
Whose smile we used to know.
Whose voice has long been silent,
Whose face is seen no more.
When play and song are ended
At the old stage door.
The chosen few who enter now
Are faces new and strange;
For those we knew have passed away
With Times relentless change.
All. well, we'll veil with laughter
The tears that vex us sore,
As we turn away heart heavy
From the old stage door.
