NEwSY NOTES.

Thomas b. Gillouly is the newly APP
pointed postmaster of Ridgway. He is
said to be one of the popular young Dem
Gratis of the place.
The epicure of the Franklin News says
it is the fashion now to serve raw oysters
in tall, handled tumblers. A dressing of
pepper and salt, lemon juice and Wor-
cestershire sauce goes with them, and
they are picked out with the long oyster
fork.
A new roller skate has been invented1
Each skate has two wheels with pneu-
matte tires. 1t is claimed that on this
skate the adept wearer can travel over
turnpike roads, up hill and down, at a
rate fully as rapid as on ice with old
fashioned skates.
The postoffice department has ruled
that parties answering "green goods cir
culars and sending through the mail for
counterfeit money violate 'the green
goods act' and are therefore liable to a
fine not more than $500 and imprison-
ment not less than 1s months.
A young man giving his name as Low
ry Pratt, was arrested in Punxsutawney
last week as counterfeiter. A few spu-
rious coins were found on his person,
and number of dies in his satchel. He
is in the Brookville Jail awaiting the sit
ting of U. S. Court at Pittsburg.
The Supreme Court has recently de-
cided that publication in newspaper of
a notice of withdrawal from a bank part
nership does not relieve the withdrawn
from liability to those who had deposits
in the bank at time of withkrawal-but
only relieves him from liability to those
who deposit afterv ards. This decision
affects all banks which are private part
nership, but does not affect stockholders
in incorporated banks, either State or
national.
A Kansas woman has found solution
to the tramp question. She is police JUS
tice of her city, and western paper tells
this story of her: "The first tramp who
was brought before her for judgment was
sentenced to two baths day for ten days,
and to hard labor on the stone pile, with
the order that he be fed if he worked,
and starved if he shirked. The prisoner
survived the erdeal, but now the first
question tramp asks on approaching a
Kansas town is whether the police judge
is a man or womsn."
1t is reported that the Slaughenhoupts
of Porter township are likely to inherit a
share of the vast fortune that a deceased
relative named Reese left in Baltimore.
The report says that $50 acres were leas-
ed for SO years, and to return to the heirs
of Mr.. Reese after the lapse of that time,
and that now this property is worth
many millions of dollars. Geo. A. jerks
is looking after their interests, and we
hope to learn of several millions coming
in to Clarion county through the Slaugh-
houpt heirs.-Clarion Jacksonian.
1t cannot be called little fraud, as it is
of too great value and is not to blame for
being misused. Vick's New Branching
Aster when cut resembles the chrysan-
themum so closely that only experts can
tell the difference, and as it comes into
flower six weeks before the "mums, u
and at a time when flowers are scarce, il
is great temptation to the florist to sell
these Asters for "mums." The branch.
ing Aster can be easily grown out doors
and the seeds cost only 25 cents per pack
ct, so that every person who has foot o.
ground can enjoy a grand treat for al
most nothing. If you want honest goods
send 10 cents to James Vick's Sons, Roch
ester, N. Y, for Floral Guide, it costs
nothing, as the 10 cents may be deducted
from first order.
