An immense amount of stuff is lying
in the river here awaiting flood, quite a
number of barges having been brought
down from Nebraska yesterday on a
"pond-fresh." The getting of all the
boats, barges and lumber to market at
this time would mean the turning of $751;
000 900 or 100000, 900 worth of stuff into
money, and would loosen up things
hereabouts immensely. p. S.-Looks
this morning as though the flood had ar

John II. Osgood, who is numbering
al the mouth of the Sheriffs on Tionesta
creek, reports having seen several large
bodies of wild pigeons in that section
within the past week. The great crop of
beechnuts this fall is evidently attracting
these fine game birds to their former
haunts, and it is possible we shall see
some fine sport before the year goes out.
Mr.. Osgood thinks there were at least
five thousand birds in one flock which
he saw up there last Friday.

the 2Sth of April last. He was a steady
young man, who was we'll liked by all
who knew him, Funeral services were
held yesterday, the interment taking
place in the Zuendel churchyard, on
German Hill.
Now this from the pen of our TALENT
ed friend Smith of the Punxsutawney
Spirit is forceable and quite to the point:
A man who runs sta2e-line or street
railway, or any sort of a public convey
ance, does so for the purpose ofcollecting
fares, and nobody expects to ride for
nothing. A newspaper is a medium for
the dissemination of information, and is
sustained by those who pay toll, either
for the pleasure and profit of perusing its
columns, or for the privilege of using
them. But it is astonishing how many
people act as though they thought news
papers we're printed just for the fun of it,
and want to ride free all the time.
Attention is directed to the new card
in this issue of Walker & Dale, mention
of whose purchase of the Agnew livery
outfit was made in these columns last
week. These gentlemen have added
very materially to the number and class
of rigs and horses in these stables, and
have been fortunate in securing the SER
vices of Thomas Cryan, an expert in that
line, as manager of the stables. They
will make many Improvements about
the premises, and expect to conduct a
strictly first class livery in all respects.
Among the many improvements is one
of the late st improved clipping machines
and the firm will make speciality of
horses while you wait.
"A duck which had faithfully stuck to
business during the summer and laid sew

she wasn't appreciated. "See that hen
over there" said the duck, "she hasn't
laid as many eggs as have, nor as big,
hut she has books written about her and
verses composed in her honor, while no.
body says word about me-" "The
trouble with you is" said the wise roos-
ter, "you don't tell the public what you
have done. You lay an egg and waddle
off without saying anything, but that si'I-
ter of mine meyer lays one without leG-
ting everybody in the neighborhood know
it. Ifyou want to cut any ice in this
community you should advertise"
-Marienville Express: The Brock
Mintz case appealed from the lower court
has been decided in Mr.. Mintz's favor by
the supreme court. This decision sus-
tains the lower court. Mr.. Mintz's many
friends will be pleased to learn of his
victory in this matter, which means a
saving of several thousand dollars to him.
