The heaviest rainfall in given time
that any body has ever witnessed in this
latitude was that of last Thursday, short
ly after eleven o'clock in the forenoon. 1t
is variously estimated that five to eight
inches of water fell in less than three
quarters of an hour. This seems impos-
sible, but number of persons had buck
cts and jars sitting out which they de-
clare showed that amount of water when
the rain was over. Some of the lawns in
town and the inclined streets and roads
were somewhat damaged. Hunter Run,
across the river, was on rampage, and
at least four bridges were carried away
and the road badly washed out. Most of
the gardens were flooded, but after all
there was no damage done by the water
spout.
The Democratic Clarion Democrat
finds time between spasams of Quay
phobia to collect this piece OF pleasant
Republican prosperity news. 1.-THE ad-
vance in the prices Of lumber, says a
Potter county exchange, has been most
marked, ranging from 81 to 81 per thous-
and feet higher than last year. Within
the past three months white pine has gone
up from 81 to 81 per thousand feet, accor-
ding to the grade, and hemlock from 81
to S2. II is said that there is not 10, 900, 900
feet ofhemlock in Pennsylvania in course
of manufacture, that is not contracted for.
! This is good news for lumbermen in this
part of the country. The Williamsport
papers report that large stock of logs is
coming into the booms and that the pros
pect is very good for lively business at
all the mills"
The borough school Board met last
Saturday evening for the purpose of elect
ing teachers for the ensuing term and the
transaction of other business. 1t was de-
cided to add another room to the schools,
making six rooms in all. The addition
was made necessary from the in
crease in the number of pupils which
will occur at the beginning of the school
term and because of the over-crowded
condition at last session. Miss Susie
Huling and Miss Mamie Morrow are the
two new teachers elected, the former
teachers, so far as they made application,
being retained, and the arrangement will
be as follows: Principal, r. n. Speer !;
Room No. 8, Miss Martha Morrow; No.
4, Miss Ida Paup; No. 3, Miss Susie HUI
ling No. 2, Miss Kathleen Joyce; No. /,
primary, Miss Mamie Morrow.
"A. w. Albaugh of East Hickory in
forms us that he is about to commence
canvassing for hook entitled Life and
Achievements of Admiral Dewey" The
work will contain complete record of
the life and career of Americas great
naval commander. The Admirals SER
vices during the civil war as well as his
work while chief of the Bureau of Naval
Equipment are made public for the first
time after thorough search of the De-
partment records. The battle of Manila
Bay and the exciting times that followed
are told and commented on in many
valuable chapters. The work is given
by Murat Halstead, the official war cor
respondent of the military expedition in
the Philippine Islands, and is throughout
an incentive to the upbuilding of heroic
and patriotic character. 1t
Miles & Armstrong are the bargain
makers. Read their adj. 1t
Hon. Jacob Wenk informs us through
his newsy paper, the FOREST RErUBLI-
CAN, that bass fishing is particularly
good in the Allegheny river up about
Tionesta just now. To hear of great
catches of lusty bass is very aggravating
to a man who hasn't time to go fishing
PunIy. Spirit. Throw business to the
dogs for few days, William, and come
over and enjoy our splendid bass fishing.
We've a splendid way of getting them.
It never fails when we can get the right
fellow started out the same day. Some
people blame us for buying them, but
that's pretty bluff to put up to the av-
erage country printer. Well admit,
however, that "shiners' make very
catchy bait. Nice, fat, yellow chubs are
considered best, but we still adhere TO
the "shiners." Yes, come over, Bro.
Smith, and we'll see to it you don't go
home empty handed if it takes the last
sinner in the can. P. S.:-Right now,
while this item is being put into type in
comes John Bush with an ST pound sal
mon. Johns the fellow that never fails
you.
The proof of the pudding is the eat
ing of it. Try Miles 81 Arm strong for
low prices. 1t
The imagination of some of the cor
respondents of the Philadelphia and
Pittsburg papers is something phenomi-
nal. Some of these days they will get to
trotting in their proper class and then
