-Amsler always keeps we'll stocked
up in all the good things the markets af-
ford. Vegetables in season aud out, and
always fresh and reliable. Candies, ci-
gars and tobacco in any quantity, and a
whole lot of them for little bit OF money.
Fresh oysters always on hand. If.
An editor in a neighboring town sar-
castically remarks that he wants to buy IA
sack of flour, pair of shoes and a felt
hat, and he is ready to receive the lowest
bids for the same. He says some town
people treat him that way when they
want printing to the amount of s. or SO
done.
The new woman's latest fad is the
"Yale walk" With chest we'll extended,
walk from the hips with long swinging
steps and remember to keep the right
arm swaying gracefully. All other walks
are now out of date. The new walk is
the model for the season of 1898.
The Clarion JackSonian says gold ole
that assays 5000 to the ton has been found
near Foxburg, within a mile OF the Clar-
ion river. We are surprised that such a
pi onounced free silver journal would
make public find like this to free sill
yer contingency. First thing the jack
sonidn knows it will lose its grip on the
affections of the people.
David Steffee, aged 80, was burned to
death in his home at Salem, Cranberry
tow nship, last Thursday night. An Oil
City pleasure party was passing and
found the house in flames, but were un-
able to rescue the old man, who lived
alone. 1t is supposed the fire caught
from an over pressure of natural gas
which was used as fuel.
If the sheriff of Elk county wants
some expert information in regard to the

l d. P. Miller of Brookston, one o
, Howe Townships overseers of the poor
was in town last Friday. He is making
a tour of the county to get the signatures
of the several township overseers to {
petition asking the court to appoint day
for holding an election on the question
, of the establishing of county poor house
He said all the overseers whom he hat
thus far interviewed had signed the pc
tition.
The borough council has done a very
sensible thing in adding to its chamber,
large and very well designed case fol
filing papers connected with the Dor
oughs affairs. 1t was built at the mantle
, works and is rather artistic piece o
: work. The secretary can now place hi
hand on any paper desired at a moment
j notice, and is not obliged to ransacl
d drawers, dusty shelves, etc., and theI
perhaps not find what is wanted.
The weather during the past weel
has been faultless if one views it from
winter standpoint. The sleighing ha
been fine affording the best of hauling
for all who had heavy wares to transport
and although there has been no very Sc
> we're cold weather enough ice has forme'
to afford fine harvest for those having
binns to fill, and all have taken advan
, tage Of the opportunity to do so. So tn
threatened ice famine for next summe
has been happily averted.
