THIS week.
IF. r. Lanson has returned from the
East where he spent a week in making
his selections for his spring and summer
stock. The goods are arriving daily, and
his spacious counters are freighted with
the choicest the markets afford, while
prices are figured to suit the times. Call
and look over the stock
-Peep-frogs are already on the wing this
season, that is, they are in the swamps
making the welkin ring with peeps and
croaks, and this is pretty good indica-
cation that spring times come, though
they tell us these little warblers must
freeze up three times before we get real
downright summer weather.
1t would be well for those who have
the care of the streets take note of
the places that need special attention.
The sight of wagon stuck in the mud is
not a usual sight on a level street in town
but such was seen here a week or two
ago. Those places where the ground is
bad ought to be paved with stone during
the summer.

sons. 25 cents each. II.
The beautiful weather of the past few
weeks has had a tendency to break in on
the customary first of April fitting.
Quite number of changes in residences
have already been made. Mr.. CASTOR
has moved into the Hickling house, Mr..
j. l.. Peters and Mrs. Thomas Hassey
have each taken possession of their own
property, and Mrs. Hannah McCray has
moved into the Fisher house on Bridge
street.
We learn that the Clarion Normal ex-
poets even a larger attendance during the
coming spring term than last year and
the authorities are making preparation
for the accommodation OF the increase in
numbers, No pains will be spared to
make this the very best term in the his
tory of that institution. We would ad-
wise our young people to pay this thriv-
ing institution visit before going else
where.
Knee suits at Lanson's for so cents
and up. 1t.
1t pays to be kind to those in distress.
Rev. Mcneil, pastor of the Baptist
church, Emporium, Pa, while in Jersey
City last fall recovered for an old lady a
pair of spectacles that had fallen into the
mud and which she was unable to reach.
She obtained his name and address. Re-
Gently he received intelligence that this
old lady was dead and had left him a
$4,000 farm and his daughter $4,000
worth of property.
The Oldest inhabitant has been
scratching his head in vain to find phe-
nomenon parallel to that which occurred
last week. He has gone over the whole
catalogue of "big frosts," "snow in har-
vest, northern lights" and all the rest
of the things that happened "when was
boy" to no purpose. Thunder and
lightning during heavy snow storm is
a new thing which he will jot down in
his note book for future reference.
