"A movement is on foot "all along the |
line" of the River Division of the w. N.
Y. & p. R'y to induce the officials TO give
us morning passenger train down and
late train up the road. Such service
would be wonderfully appreciated by the
citizens and travelling public between
Oil City and Warren, and we hope the r.
authorities will see the advantages which
would accrue to their road by the addi
tional trains.

handicap mile bike race between Messrs.
Keller of Pigeon, and Cannon of Fagun-
dus. The race was won by Mr.. Keller,

fullest extent. Both gentlemen will be

| A tI,a Nf olo in
the infant room of Sunday school, says
the Epworth Herald, the teacher was
having her scholars finish each sentence
to show that they understoUGgrsr, "The
idol had eyes," she said, "but il couldn't
-"See !" cried the children. "It had
ears, but it ouldn't'-"Hear," was the
answer. "It had lips" went on the
teacher, but it ouldnt"-"Speak," once
more repeated the class. "It had a nose,
but it couldn't'-"Wipe itv' shouted the
children. And the lesson had to stop
moment for the teacher to recover her
composure.
The storm which broke on this sec
ton shortly after noon of Monday was
much the severest of the season, and in
|
years. The down-pour of rain was very
great, causing considerable damage
to oats fields that are just ripening.
The lightning was the sharpest that this
vicinity has witnessed in years, and in
this place burned out several telephone
instruments, but caused no other dam
age. In Pittsburg and points along the
Allegheny valley the havoc wrought by
the wind was exceptionally severe, build
ings being unroofed, telegraph poles de-
molished, and property generally de-
stroyed.
Our old and esteemed friend John r..
Stroup was a caller one day last week.
He has retired from active farming, and
will spend several months with relatives
and friends in Clarion and Venango
counties, renewing old acquaintanceships
and visiting the scenes of his younger
days. Mr.. Stroup will be 50 years of age
if he lives till the 3lst day of October
next, yet he seems as hardy and robust
as many men at 90. He has been hard
worker in his day, and if he were to sit
down in idleness now, would not live a
month. He has enjoyed good health u.s.
ually, having needed the services of a
doctor on but three occasions during his
long life.
