Charles Anderson, the Isaac Walton
of this section, is the first to open the
sucker fishing season here, having land
ed fine string of this excellent variety
of the finney tribe, during one of the mild
days of last week.
Harry Garfield had slice clipped of
the end of the little finger of his left
hand Monday while scufIiing with a
friend over the possession of knife. The
severing of an artery made the cut par
ticularly annoying.
L- -Ehe second edition ofsplendid sleigh
ing is now with us, and is affording ex.

work. A large amount of sawed slaves
are being hauled to this station, a pro-
duct which was thought to be almost ex-
tinct in this country.
"A well is being drilled on Jacob
Smearbaugh's place, across the creek. 1t
is located near the abutment at the west
end of the bridge. This is the nearest to
the borough limits that any of our wild
CATERS have ventured for sometime, and
lhe general hope is that she'll pan out all

Rev. j. V. McAninch is conducting
meetings at the Presbyterian church each

ingat the usual hour.
The beautiful town of Warren has
fine high school which cost complete,
about 100000 1t was begun Oct s, 1897,
and is now ready for the reception of 600
pupils. The building is constructed of
buff-colored pressed brick with Ohio
sandstone trimmings and slate roof, and
we question whether the State has an
other as handsome or well EQUIPPED
school building within its borders.
The Clarion Republican has changed
ownership, w. G. Miltenburger, for the
past three years one of the lessees of the
plant having purchased the same. The
paper has dropped part of its former
hyphenated name, Topping offthe Gazette,
which is one of the notable improve
ments in its new makeup. Mr.. Milten-
berger is good newspaper man, con-
ducts sound Republican journal, and
will make his paper success.
An item has lately been going the
rounds of the papers which calls for a
correction. 1t is to the effect that SOL
diers and sailors of the Spanish war will
hereafter be exempt from an occupation
tax. One who has examined the latest
digests of the laws of Pennsylvania finds
that the only exception there given to the
operation of the law is found in the fol.
lowing: "The pay of officers of the
United States Government is not taxable
under this act.''
An alarm of fire about six o'clock
last Sunday evening brought out the
hose carts and alarge contingent of the
citizens in double quick time. The To-
cality of the would be blaze was in the
dwelling occupied by James Buxton, on
Hiland street, and was from the usual |
cause7-defectiv fue. The fire had got
ten considerable start and only needed q
little vent or draft to have made big |
blaze. A dash or two from the hose set
tied all difficulty. but cansed quite little |
damage and annoyance to the household |
effects of Mr.. Buxton's family.
"A. w. Albaugh is on his rounds de-
livering that leading work on the late
war known as the "United States in War
with Spain, and History of Cuba" 1t is
a volume of nearly 600 pages, profusely
and very handsomely illustrated, and is
pronounced by leading critics to be the
book on the late war, covering as it does
the events leading up to the conflict, az
well as the report of the Paris peace COM
The fact that Mr.. Albaugh has
taken orders for over seven hundred cop
les of the work in so remarkably short a
time speaks louder than words can for
the excellency of tho book.
With its last issue the Vendngo Spec
'dtor, so gracefully presided over by our
genial friend, II. NJ. Irwin, entered upon
The tifty-first year of its existence. The
paper was founded so years ago by the
late A. z. Whitaker, who was almost
,ontinuously.its editor from that time
lntil about two years ago when he passed
over to the great majority. The career of
he Spectator, like every newspaper of
hat age, has been somewhat check cred,
hough it has enjoyed more, perhaps of
he pleasures OF the journalistic career
han the average. The paper has fallen
