Riverside cemetery has been made
more beautiful than ever in the past two
weeks, by the constant work of Sexton
VIM. Hunter, under the direction of the
Odd Fellows association. We doubt
whether prettier "city of the dead" can
be found anywhere, and on Memorial
Day 1t will be at its best.
The mantel factory is partially shut
down this week on account of the gas en-
gine being broken. The repairs are be-
ing made by Fred. Grettenberger, Tidi-
oute's popular machinist. The factory

and is having considerable difficulty in
filling orders, being unable to get cabi-
net makers enough to do the work.

hearty congratulations in its prosperous
condition.-Cla,fon Republican.

third batch OF wagons on Col. Carter's
big order ready for shipment next Mon
day. This will make fifteen thus far, and
they will have seven more 70 make to fill
out the order. During all this rush they
have kept up with all local work that has
come in, of which there was more than
the usual amount this season. They are
hustlers.
-PunXsutawney has the small pox
scare in an aggravated form and about every
inhabitant in the town has, or has had,
his arm in sling. But the worst seems
to be over and the fright is subsiding,
we are pleased TO note. Whenever we
hear of any danger threatening that
bustling city we at once get uneasy for
the safety of our good friend Col. Smith
of the Spirit.
DIR. w. J. Mcknight of Brookvilbe is
a guest of Tionesta friends to-day. The
Doctor is one of Pennsylvania's most
prominent men, and is very pleasing

The Franklin Spectator has made the
discovery that, all joking aside, the peach
crop in this and other northern States is
dead failure this year. Every locality

ever, promises TO be better than the aver
age. There will be large receipts of
the Pacific coast. Shipments
from California have already begun,
breaking all records for an early season.

IA. st. Commissioner Moody has been
doing good work on Elm street the past
few days, taking much of the superfluous
dirt off, and soon as the river drops suf-

gravel. The new river road above Tubbs
