The new school house is looming up
to be thing of beauty" and we hope
IL will be "a JOY forever" There is too
little money spent in education and too
much on other things, of less benefit to
the present or rising generation.
The most polite patrons newspaper
man has are the tramps. They will
thank him for few old exchanges,
while many of his regular subscribers
take his paper for years and never even
thank him, much less pay him for it,
Clearfeld Republican. Right you are,
Bro. Goodlander.
Architect McMasters, of Pittsburg,
and contractors Nixon and Allen, Of
Titusville, the gentlemen who are
building our new school house, were all
in town yesterday. AT meeting of

another payment of $1,000 was made to
Messrs. Nixon and Allen.

The postoffice and store at Olivesburg,
this county, was robbed Thursday night
Of last week. The burglar, or burglars,
secured about $4,000 in stamps, cash
and merchandise. This is the second
burglary at the same place within few
months. The first time an attempt was
made to burn the building after it had
been plundered.
The chief editor OF the Dubois Courier
has consigned the grounding to his
little hole for the next six weeks, while
that papers celebrated poet laureate,
M. M. Schaney, has him located above
ground for the same length of time.
The Courier is bound to be right II it
has to make one false prediction in
order to get there.
The Bell & Lewis company store at
Dubois was burglarized last Friday
night and the thieves succeeded in get

Here's note recently issued by hy-
gienic authority: One of the most i'm
portant rules for the preservation of IA
cial beauty is that one should go to sleep
smiling, or at least placid-looking.
The person who goes to sleep with
anxious or angry wrinkles on her fore
head and about her mouth keeps them
there while she is sleeping, and they
soon become ineradicable.
We may have some weather yet
We clip the following from The Reyn-
oldsville Paper dated April Goth, 1888:
''Four inches Of snow the latter part Of
April in one forenoon isn't doing so bad.
This is indeed grand and glorious
country. One day the mercury is trying
to climb out OF the top of the thermom-
eter and the next it is making frantic
endeavors to get into the cellar
Denny Timbly, a lad aged nine years,
was drowned in the Clarion river at
Portland Mills, Elk county, while out
skating with two companions last Fri
day afternoon. The three boys had
been to school and went skating after
school. The ice broke and all three
were precipitated into the water and
their cries for assistance brought help
in time TO save two of the boys but
young Timbly went under the ice. His
body was found Saturday forenoon about
three hundred feet down the river from
where the ice had broken.
1t is becoming a common occurrence
for parties to go to Beulah cemetery
and dig graves regardless of the place
or whether they own lots or not.
Recently child was buried in another
mans lot, and another in one Of the paths.
Both of these bodies will have to be re-
moved to other graves. We have been
requested to state that to prevent any
further mistakes OF this kind that here
after it will be expected that owners OF
lots and others will consult the sections,
