Tho woman's Relief Corps gave a
most enjoyable lawn fete at the court |

sum for the replenishment of the Corps |
treasury.

lasting several days. Rev. Buzza of the
M. E. Church will have charge and will |
be assisted by a number of other minis |
ters. All are cordially invited to attend !

The foundation of j. G. Bowman 'snew
dwelling corner of Elm and May streets,
is practically completed, and the first
story of the house, which is to be of buff
brick, will be under way in a few days.
The new edifice will add largely to the
beauty of that portion of our borough
when finished.
"A letter received by D. w. Clark
from his son, Samuel, conveys the intel
ligence of the death of Mrs. w. w. HUI
ings, at Boulder, Colorado, on the morn
| ing of the 9Th inst We are without par
ticulars. Mrs. Hulings had large circle
of friends among the older class of our
citizens, all of whom will be panied to
learn this sad news.
The mantle factory buildings are
nearly completed and the machinery of
the new plants being rapidly placed in
position. 1t is expected to begin the
work of turning out mantels by the mid
die of August, if not sooner. Forty or
more hands will be employed at the
start, which will give our town an air of
thrift, unknown to it for some time past
j. r. Osgood has the agency for the
famous Eureka carriages, manufactured
at Cincinnati, o., and he will sell first
class carriage OF any style desired, guar
anteed in every particular at a much less
figure than any other agent in Forest
county. He has just received a new car
riage from the Eureka company and in
vites all to come and inspect it. 2t.
"A carrier pigeon owned by Max ia
cobs, of this city, and released in Ken
lucky, 500 miles, by air line, from Oil
City, two weeks ago, arrived home yes
terday accompanied by homing pigeon,
the band of which bore the name of i. II.
Reed, of Lancaster, Pa. This makes the
fourth pigeon, out of flock of eight, that
have made their way home since they
were released two weeks ago.-Derrtck.
-Children's Day exercises were held
in the M. e. church at this place last
Sabbath evening, large congregation
being present to witness the same. The
church was very artistically decorated
and the program, "The Young Peoples
Republic" was rendered in a very i'm =.
pressive manner. All of the speakers
did remarkably well, making individual
, mention or criticism difficult task, es-
| pecially in our limited space.
The last legislature appropriated ST.
900 for the maintenance of the Pennsyl-
vania Memorial Home, at Brookville.
An appropriation of $4,000 was also
made for the establishment of hospital
at Punxsutawney. These are both
worthy causes.-Lindsey Press. And
brought about only by the persist
ent effort of two very worthy representa-
tives, Senator Mitchell and Representa-
tive Smith, the Press should have added.
r What could have been more welcome
to sweltering humanity than the storm
of last Sabbath afternoon? And then the
steady pattering lain during a greater
| portion OF the night What blessing tC
vegetation of all kinds. New life seems
to have been impaired to mother Earth
and all nature smiles again and the sea
= shore has no particular charms that are
not possessed by our glorious latitude
though we do confess is was a trifie warm
n during last week.

estimate that they have upward Of TWEEN

large to warrant them in doing so they
