We regret to note the removal of Mrs.
j. II. Dingman and sons, Russell and Ar
thur, from this place to Toronto, Canada,
where they will reside in the future.
The reason of their leaving us was that
they might all be together while Russell
is attending college. Mrs. Dingman has
sold her property here to A. Carson, who
has taken possession.
Girls are of few days and full of mis-
chief, and whosoever is deceived thereby
is not wise When the fair girl cheweth
her gum with great taste and stampeth
her pretty foot, then look out.
She cometh forth in the evening in low
neck and short sleeves, but in the morn
ing she lieth abed while her mother
hustleth. h.-SpartansbuI Sentinel.
WIN. e. Morgan has been retained
by the Tionesta Gas Co. to look after its
interest at the measuring station at the
company's gas wells on Hemlock creek.
When the gas has been turned into the
Fuel Supply Co.'s line it will require the
gauge to be taken every 10 minutes, and
this will be Billy's duty twelve out of
the twenty-four hours of each day.
Miss Minnie Landers returned yes
terday morning from Oil City, where

League. The object of the meeting was

Rev. John Peate, of Greenville, is
still working steadily at his great 62-inch
lens for the telescope of the American
University. When cast at Butler, Pa,
the glass was six inches thick and
weighed 1000 pounds. Rev. Peate has
been patiently grinding away at the lens
in his workshop for more than a year,
and it now weighs 1900 pounds. The
work is very tedious and requires the
greatest skill.

e. e. Clapp, of President, one of
Venango county's staunch Republicans
was in town last Thursday, and brought
with him a whole pocket full of large
sized "gold bugs" which he distributed
among his many friends here. 1t would
seem, too, that his list of friends is not
confined strictly to the Republican voters
either, for we observe goodly number
of Tionesta's fair young ladies adorned
with the bugs.

Mr.. Bryan's windy oratory calls to
mind sally attributed to President Lin
coin. He had been listening to a young
:, man whose power of lung and flow of
, words was more in evidence than were
ideas. When he had finished Lincoln
turned to friend and observed: "That
young chap reminds me of a steamer l
once saw on the Ohio river. 1t had an s.
> foot boiler and 12-foot whistle, and every
=, time the whistle blew the boat stopped"
The wandering hobo is now working
new game. A few months ago nearly
every hobo arrested was found to have

' whatever they could get. Their present
play is to offer at a small sum cheap inn
itation gold ring with diamond set
ting, with the story that they found it in
their travels.
