The river and creek are about as de-
void OF water as they generally get, hav-
ing perhaps less liquid in them than ever

Andrew Weller, whose farm is on
German Hill, near Starr post Office, gath
cred enough strawberries from his patch
a few days ago to make a very delicious
shortcake. He tells us they were extra
large and finely favored. Andy's farm
is evidently right on the banana belt.
In our mention Of the runaway in
which John Jameson was considerably
bruised last week, we should have said
his companion was Jerry Birtcil instead
of Welsh. We are not sure but that
Jerry b. would just as soon that Jerry
W. had received his share OF the bruises,
but it's well enough to have these little
items exactly right when you can.
The house occupied by John Knupp,
located a short distance above Nebraska,
on the road leading to Guitonville, was
consumed by fire on Tuesday night of
last week. Mr.. Knupp's household
goods were totally burned up, and he
and his family barely escaped with their
| lives. He had no insurance on his goods,
but the house, which was owned by the
company, was insured for a small sum,
we understand.
John Johnson, a section hand on the
| T. V. r. r.. was killed at Parrish We'd
nesday evening OF last week by being

house. The section men on the handcar
were going down steep grade when a
| dog ran onto the track and threw the car
of, with the result that Mr.. johnson lost
his life and several others were severely
injured -lIaTienUiile Express.
1t has been pretty generally sup
posed that there was "A shortage of the
potato crop in all sections Of tho country.
Whether or not this is true, the following
item frem the Blizsdrd seems to indicate
that it is not: POTATOES are being
shipped to Oil City by the car load, from
Michigan. They have been retailing at
Sl.0O per bushel, but it is doubtful if This
price can be maintained, as they can he
secured in any quantities desired at less
than half the money in Cleveland and
other places only short distance from
Oil City"
