The rumor which came from Du-
Bois on the 18th instant to the effect that
the w. N. Y. q p. Railway Company had
purchased the Shawmut mines and the
Buffalo, st. Marys & Southwestern rail-
road, turns out to be false.-Puna'y Spirit.
The trouble with runors of new rail-
roads and the extension of old ones is
that they are too often false; doubtless on
the principal that the rumors are too
good to be true.
-Tionesta Union held mothers re-
ception in honor of Madam willard's
birthday, at the home of Mrs. S. II. Has
let, on Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 20, at
3 o'clock. The meeting was opened by
the reading of Scripture and PRAYER.
Readings pertaining to parents and chill.
dren were read by different ladies', after
which light refreshments were served
and silver offering taken. The meeting
was both pleasant and profitable to all.
The patrons of the Forest Telephone
and Telegraph Co. can now talk TO any
point in Clarion county reached by the
Clarion Telephone Co.'s lines. The two
lines were Joined at Tylersburg Wednes-
day, and the union should prove a great
| convenience to the people of both coun-
ties. AS the Summerville lines are con-
nected with the Clarion lines we can also
talk directly to most of the important
towns in Jefferson county.

Two houses in Erie were entered by
burglars on Tuesday night last. Follow
ing is a list of the articles stolen: A
purse containing 500, ring with $500
diamond setting, lady's gold watch, dia-
mond brooch, two gold watches, $500;
two diamond rings, $500; two garnet
pins, S75; one diamond pin, $780, one
breastpin, 500, besides 800 in cash. The
total value of the jewelry stolen is 81, AGO.
Reports of the theft fail to state whether
they were editors houses, or not.
Just to show the difference in adver-
tising mediums: Last week we briefly
noted that a lady's fascinator had been
found and left at our Office for the owner,
and in less than two hours after the RE-
PUBLICAN had been distributed the own
or came in and got her missing garment.
Now, there's Bro. Muse ofthe Vindicdtor,
has been advertising that lost pocket
book with money in it awaited an owner
at his office for the past three weeks, and
still he can't get rid of his find. Now is
| the time to advertise---in the REPUBLI-
| CAN.
The event of the season was the So
cial given by the Y. p. S. c. Il. at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Smearbaugh last
Friday evening. The evening was spent
in social chat, music and recitations. The
Misses Randall and Klinestiver played
a piano THO which received hearty ap-
plause; the Misses Johnson played a duet
which was highly Appreciated Mr.. Mus
ser played some fine selections on the
guitar, and Miss Iva Holeman and Miss
Gertrude Edmundson recited. The
young ladies served light refreshments
and everyone left feeling they had been
highly entertained.
Attention is directed to the card i'll
this issue announcing the re-opening oi
the summer school in Tionesta, on MAY
Sd, next, with Prof. r. N. Speer at its
head. Last summers term proved O
most decided success for those who at
tended, aud the coming term will be
much more so, placing within the reach
of all who desire them, advantages which
would cost, in schools of greater name
many times the amount required
to attend and complete course in
this school. Prof Speer's well estab
l.shed reputation as an able educator is
sufficient guarantee of the thoroughnes:
of the instruction furnished.
We note with no little amusement the
feverish anxiety of some of the Jefferson
county papers, jealously opposed to Hon
w. o. Smith, lest he might again be d
candidate for legislative favors. We
don't know what Bro. Smith proposes tc
do about it, but it is safe to say that if hC
should conclude to again place himself
sin the hands of his friends" it would
take a deal of hustling to down him, fol
our acquaintance with Jefferson county
people leads us to believe that they know
a strictly first class article when they SCI
it, and would insist on having none but
the best man to represent them in thu
legislature,
