mill yards when his foot caught throwing
him forward. His entire weight was
thrown on the wrist, and the wrist bone
just above the wrist was fractured. The
injury will lay him of from work for a
couple of weeks, besides it is very dis
agreeable bedfellow.
The financial statement of the Forest
County National bank of Tionesta, which
we neglected to call attention to last
week. is again published this week, and
will be found very interesting, showing
as it does most flattering condition of
this prosperous and solid institution. We
doubt IL there is bank in the state loca-
ted IN town no larger than Tionesta,
and having been organized no longer
than this institution, that can present as
fine showing.
While going to Marienville yesterday
we noticed that in many orchards along
the route the trees were fairly loaded
down with as fine fruit as we lave ever
seen, demonstrating beyond doubt that
this entire section of country is we'll
adapted to the cultivation of fruit, and it
seems strange that more of the farmers
do not turn their attention to this part of
their business, which, in nearly every in
stance, yields them much better return
than the ordinary run of farm products.

The venerable Judge Samuel Miller
OF Missouri thinks that the well-known
Farm Journal is the best ont of twenty
journals that he takes. He says its NOR
al tone, and the unrelenting war it wages
against all humbugs make it invaluable.

"A valuable Jersey COW held at 81 SEQ,
and owned by Miller & Sibley, of Frank
lin, was awarded first rize over all other
breeds at the Toronto fair last week. In
less than an hour afterward the animal
was dead. There was a strong suspicion of
poisoning, but Gen. Miller has since con-
firmed the report that death was due to
the act of the firms foreman in pumping
cold milk into the cows udder, to pro-
duce good appearance when the judg-
ing took place. The foreman employed
this method without the knowledge or
consent of the owners.
1t has been known for some time that
Ian Maclaren has been critically study
ing modern church methods, and the re-
suits are now to be made public in The
Ladies' Home Journal. His first article
is called "The Candy-Pull System in the
Church." and in this he frankly states
what many have felt but have scarcely
ventured to publicly assert with regard
to social tendencies of the church. The
great English author will then. handle
"The Mutiueer in the Church." and after
that answer the somewhat startling ques-
ton, "Should the Old Minis .er be Shot"
-Depredatons have been committed
in Oil Creek township. which call for a
desperate remedy, says the Titusville
Herald. A farmer by the name of Skelly,
residing on the ellison Ridge, recently
found seven OF his sheep with their
throats cut, and Noah Ross, Of the same
neighborhood, had a fine COW killed by
being hamstrung. In another instance
heifer was found with ono of the quarters
severed from her body. 1t is believed
that all three outrages were the work of
the same parties. The community is
much excited over them and summary
justice may be dealt out to the guilty
parties should they be discovered.

As the game season is about to open,
and in view of many human lives that
are taken yearly by careless sportsmen,
the following from the Sportsman's Mag
azine for September is worth reading
and re- reading by all who go cunning :
"Do not shoot at a noise or at moving
object in the bushes, but wait until the
object is clearly recognized before you
pull the trigger. Better lose your only
chance at a deer than to lose your peace
of mind forever through the remorseful
consciousness of having caused the
death of human being. Aside from the
costly lessons that haye been taught, re-
member there are other hunters roaming
the forests as we'll as yourself"
