Pennsylvania has made a good be-
ginning toward the system of forest res
ervation, approved by the last session OF
the legislature. Since June the Forest
Commissioner, acting under the provis-
ions of the Act of March 30, 1897, has pur-
chased for the State over $4,000 acres at
Treasurer's sales of unseated lands, at a
price not exceeding taxes and costs.
These lands are located as follows: Clin-
ton county, 14,0S9; Clearfield Co., $4,000 I;
Lycoming Co., 1926; Monroe Co., l,A4 ;
Pike Co., 7,406. In addition there is as
much more land in immediate prospect
of purchase on very reasonable terms.
AS yet no attempt has been made to Sc
cure lands in this section of the State.

ated.
the misfortune to lose a valuable horse
on Tuesday of last week. He was work
ing on the new road up Hickory creek
near the mouth of Queen. A severe and
sudden, but short-lived wind and rain
storm occurred about the middle of the
afternoon and Mr.. Church hitched his
team to the wagon to go to the barn out
of the storm. Just as he was ready tC
start tree fell on one of his horses kill
ing it. He saw the tree coming and
struck his horses hoping to escape the
the tree. One horse, the one that was
killed, sprang forward, but the other die
not, with the result above stated. Had
both horses started up the probabilities
are that Mr.. Church himself would have
been caught by the tree instead of the
horse.
While driving down from Nebraska
yesterday j. r. Ault had little expert
ence which will be of some benefit tt
Messrs. Scowden & Clark, if it is littl,
hard on Ralph's pocket-book. Meeting
friend along the way, he had asked hin
to fix the blind OF the horses bride. Ii
doing so the bit came out of its moutl
and the animal staI led to run away. Dis
covering the situation at once, Mr.
Ault made hurried exit from the bug
gy, knowing that sooner or latar h
would be split anyway. This was abou
a mile below Nebraska. The horse rar
to this place and at the lower end o
town the buggy collided with LAM
post, and badly demolished buggy wa
the result. The rig belonged to Mrs. D
Thompson of Nebraska. Ralph and tn
horse escaped without injury.
