NEwSY NOTES.

"Trust men and they will be true tC
you," was one OF the many sayings OF
Ralph Waldo Amerson. Newspaper men
cannot fully agree with the Sage of Con-
cord.
One of the wonders of Clarion county is
the fish ponds OF Jacob Faller of Fryburg.
He has enclosed in his two large dams
thousands of the finny tribe. They are
altogether too thick for comfort, for when
storm comes they are driven against the
banks and are stuck in the mud, requiring
the aid of the proprietor to gain the water.
To avoid great loss Mr.. Faller has built a
fence about the ponds, as by this method
only can they be kept in the enclosure
Clarion JdckSonian.
Full preparations have been made for
the "Catholic Chsutauqua" which has
been instituted within few months past.
The location selected is at New London,
CT, and the opening will be on the 9th OF
July. The program embraces wide
scope. Cardinal Gibbons will preside at
the opening and it is expected that all the
distinguished clergy of the Church in this
country will attend. The faculty in
English Literature will be composed of
Richard Malcolm Johnson, George Par
sons Lathrop, DR.. Francis Egan, OF Notre
Dame, and Ernest Lagarde, of Emmets-
burg, Nd.
At Meadville. Friday, Robert Bonner
was asked: "Oo you think Sunol will i'm
prove her record this season. ?" Without
replying, Mr.. Bonner drew from his
pocket letter he had received from Jo-
seph Cairn Simpson, one of the best
judges of horses in America, who recently
visited Meadville. An extract from the
letter was al never saw Sunol looking so
we'll as she does this season. She is per-
feet in every part. l believe she will
lower the record to 2;07 or better before
many months have elapsed" "Mr. Mar
vim and myself fully concur in the belief
of Mr.. Simpson," observed Mr.. Bonner
The Derrick says the work of cleaning
up the ruins of the flood and fire between
the Oil City limits and Housewife is going
on with a rush. Health Officer William
Cromack and a force of men have been
directing the work and removing and
burying the carcasses of dogs, eats and
cattle. The owners of the burned houses
are at work on the ruins and the scenes of
desolation are disappearing. The Penn
and Independent refneries have not had
their insurance adjusted yet, but are piling
the iron and junk left from the tanks aud
machinery and putting their property in
good shape. The Independent refinery
have placed an order for several iron
tanks and agitators. The roadmaster and
his men are at work on the wagon road,
filling in the washouts and removing the
timbers and buildings washed up by the
flood. A force Of men are at work re-
building the burned span of the w. N. Y.
& p. railroad bridge.
The persons in charge of the Relief
headquarters have been faced with many
phases OF human character since the flood.
There have been those who wouldn't take
button shoes, because they wanted CATERS
those who preferred blazers 10 seal skin
sacques; some who wanted tennis suits
instead of fiannels; some who kicked on
sheets with seams in them, and those who
wanted Queen Anne furniture instead of
antique, some won't take strawberry ice
cream because they want vanilla. on the
other hand there are those who take what
ever is offered and accept it with thanks
those who say others may need il more
than they, and are willing TO take less.
Those who place their losses low and those
those who are well educated and had the
