"A Kelley bi-chloride of gold cure, a
branch of the big one at Dwight, has been
started at Tionesta, with Dr. J. b. Siggins
In charge. It's q curious fact that the de-
mand for and patronage of these ',jag
cures" comes so largely from places that
have no license. Tionesta has none, and
Warren, which has been so largely repre-
sonted at Dwight, has until recently been
classified as a dry town.--Frdnktin News.
Just the kind of place to sober-up in, you
know. Franklin parties specially invited
to come and bring their ',jags" with them.
The great trust of the Standard Oil
Company is getting ready to dissolvei 1t
must astonish the general public to learn
that tho first and greatest of the mighty
brood of trusts is likely TO be the first to
disband. A special meeting of the stock
holders, to vote OH the proposed dissolu-
ton, is to be held on Monday, March 81.
Hon. s. c. T. Dodd, general solicitor of
the Standard, says the step is brought
about by the recent decision of the Ohio
Supreme Court against the Standard
Trust, and by the opposition and legisla-
ton against trusts in different States of the
Union. The Standards action is of great
significance. The total capital of tho COM
panies in the trust is SOS, ,OO0, 900, and the
stock, which is held by over 1000 persons,
has in the last years paid II per cent.

"A private letter from our old friend
and former townsman, John Muenzenber-
ger, conveys the intelligence that he and
his family are well and AL doing we'll. He
also says the May, Purington & Co. brick
yard, in which he is working, has been
running all winter, having stopped only
twice on account of cold weather, and that
they made brick when it was IL below
zero. The company sold and delivered in
1891 As million brick, seven million of
which went to the Worlds Fair, that
being the largest contract given out by
the Fair people to any one concern. The
demand for brick is very great, so q eat
in fact that this company cannot turn
them out fast enough to fill orders, and
the demand seems to grow rather than di-
minish. John sends best wishes to all old
friends in this community.
--Bre'r Smith, in his Punxsutawney
Spirit, says: The happiest moments of our
lives are those spent in dreaming-in
musing over the sunny days that are gone,
or building beautiful castles in the future.
Happiness is merely condition of mind,
and man can be joyful or miserable as
he chooses. What is more pleasant for an
old man than to revisit in his imagination
the scenes Of his youth, to chase the golden
butterflies over the fiowery mead, to wade
the pond by the mill and feel the soft,
yielding mud ooze up between his toes, to
fish for suckers in the eddy, and to go to
mill on horseback astride of two -bushel
bag of wheat7 Go back to the callow days
when he sat in the old school house and
looked lovingly over his shoulder at Mary
Jane McGlew in her homespun dress and
wonder IL there ever was another girl so
sweet and beautiful. A mans body may
become bent with age and his epidermis
wrinkled with the lapse of time, but his
heart is always young, and he ever loves
to pick out the sunny places in the path he
has trodden and muse over them. To him
it is a consolation and joy. There is
serene and quiet repose about the happi-
ness of old age, the autumn of life we'll
spent, that youth cannot enjoy. Sensi-
tiveness to Sights and to physical pain
becomes dullcr, and delights are not en-
joyed with so keen relish, but thore is a
steadiness of temper and philosophy of
gentleness that compensates for all.
