The report of the Auditors of Tones
ia township was handed us in time for
publication this week, but was crowded
out by pressure of other matter, and
will appear next week. The report shows

lars of the townships indebtedness during
the past year, which the taxpayers will
fully appreciate, or ou 1ht to.

uating class from Amhurst College the

college "a per cent. over the smokers; in
height 81 per cent; in chest girth, AZ per

thinking.

to customers-thc more the merrier-on

their daily supply when he comes round.
DIR. NJ. II. MaGuire, Dentist, of Tid-
ioute, has located in Tionesta for the prac-
tice of his profession, occupying the office
of Mrs. M. A. Clark, opposite the gas
Office. The Doctor is a graduate Of the

ber that Tionesta now has a good dentist.

don't of this community for about ten

The trial of murderer Mills, of whose
capture at Marienville we gave an account
two weeks ago, was ended in Butler coun-
ty last Saturday, the jury rendering a
verdict of murder in the second degree.
The defense set up the plea of acute mania,
and it seems to have had the desired effect
with the jury. The verdict is quite un-
satisfactory in that neighborhood, where
the people generally expected a first de-
gree conviction, and maintain that the
evidence justified such a result.
Warren county has 81 applicants for
| license which will come before the court
there on April 18th. The Tidioute NewS
says: At meeting of the Executive COM
mittee of the County w. c. T. U. held the
I'd inst, it was decided inexpedient to cir
culate remonstrances throughout the
County, but that "hearty sympathy"
would be extended to any local Union
that cared to undertake the work. The
Warren Union will do no demonstrating.
! We understand that Tidioute will.
Mr.. l.. Agnew has taken charge of the
Lawrence House, Mr.. Shawkey having
moved into the brick house of the late
Mrs. Thomas. Mr.. Agnew's reputation
as a strictly first class landlord is too well
established in this section to need any
establishment, and those who patrcnize
his house will find him the same genial,
painstaking caterer of yore. He will
make number of substantial improve
ments OH the property which will make il
much more desirable stopping place
than ever before.
The Clarion JncksoRidH notes an incl
dent of the recent Spring election in that
county which illustrates what vexation
printed tickets might have saved; "At the
late election John Henry Matte was voted
for in three different styles for supervisor
of Pennington township. Some ballots
were written ]. II. Matte, some j. Matte,
and others Henry Matte. His full name
is John Henry Matte. 1t is clear that the
citizens were all voting for the same man
by three different tickets, but the case
came before the court for decision"
