pear tree on the Shaw farm, south of
the city is in blossom for the third time
this summer. 1t is a most remarkable
freak of nature, something unheard of
before by fruit growers-Meadville Rep.
An exchange says it takes a rich man
to draw check, pretty girl TO draw at
| tention, horse IN draw a cart, a porous
plaster to draw the skin, topper to draw
a cork, free lunch to draw a crowd, and
an advertisement in your home paper to
draw trade.
Paper is now used for making tele-
graph poles and the paper poles are
claimed to be lighter and stronger than
wood, and unaffected by sun, rain,
dampness or any of the other causes
which tend to gradually destroy the
wooden pole.
"Broadax" Smith, who has recently
been conducting camp-meeting in
| Cleveland, has been missing since last
Saturday, and nothing is known of his
whereabouts. They can't keep Broadax
concealed if he is on top of the earth.-

The Councils of Meadville, after inef-
fectual efforts to come to an agreement
with the water company of that place,
have decided to submit to the voters the
question of bonding the town for water
works. 1t is possible to take the water
from French Creek.
| The figure 8 in our dates is with us and
has come to stay. Few men or women
now living will ever date document
without using a 3. 1t now stands third
lS94-where it will remain six years. It
will then move up to second place-190O
and there rest for one hundred years.
The 10th annual reunion of the lO5th
Penna. Volunteers will be held in the
court house, in Brookville, on Wednes-
day, October 10. A good turnout of the
members is expected. All old soldiers
are cordially invited to meet with the
l05th, and enjoy good day and evening.
The great railroad strike will result in
some good. 1t has directed the attention
of the country to the Pullman Company's
methods, and the outcome will probably
be a measure passed by Congress regu-
lating the charges for riding on these
cars, so that travellers will not have to
pay fare and hire the porter besides.
There were teachers institutes held
during the past scholastic year in sixty
six counties and four cities. There were
$40 days devoted to the work. The num-
ber of teachers in attendance was 1885
school directors present, 4,20S; instruc-
tors, sos; lecturers, 2l5. Total receipts,
S57, 1870; total expenditures, $55, ,343.S4.
Chinese justice is very searching ar
ticle. If cashier embezzles, they don't
fall back on his bondsmen, but on the
cashier, whose head is promptly cut off.
man who recently killed his father was
executed, and along with him his school
master for not having taught him better.
If school teachers in our land were thus
held responsible for the malefactions of
their former pupils, teachers would be
scarce and wages would climb.
The revival in the Methodist church at
|
that has been held in that place for many
years, about 170 persons resolving to
change their manner of living. A large
number have joined the Methodist
church while others joined the Presby-
terian church. Rev. Rumberger, the
pastor, is an indefatigable worker and
admired for his many good qualities by
the people of East Brady.-Emlenton

Jonathan Reynolds, of Mead, was in
the city to-day and, in speaking of the
extremely dry weather which this section
is now experiencing, said: "Fifty-three
years ago this summer was the dryest
season 1 ever saw. Our people were six
weeks without particle of flour in the
house. We had to depend those days on
water as the power for grinding, and
there was none whatever for such use."
Those who believe that the destruction
of the forests is causing our "dry sea-
sons" can debate this question in con-
nection with the "strike." e."-Meadville

chains ornamented with pretty charm
in the shape of a watch case opener,
which obviates the use of knife or flu
gernail to open the watch. They are
