"A farm barn owned jointly by S. Fl.
Haslett and j. T. Dale, and located on
their property on the top of Smokey Hill
road leading to Tylersburg, was burned
to the ground last Wednesday afternoon.
1t was evidently the work of an incendi
airy as there had been no fire in that vi
cinity during the day, and the owners
strongly suspect delapidated hobo who
was seen near there not long before
the fire was discovered. The barn was a
substantial one, 32x40 feet, and cost about
$780, A good hay rake was also burned

Pennsylvania is pushing the cycle
path for all that it is worth, says the L.
A. w. Bulletin. One day we shall see
paths that will take us from one end of
the Keystone State to the other. And the
roads remain as they are. Wheelmen
have shown their willingness to be taxed
for cycle paths and it is their money tina.

The drillers out on one of /. N. Pat
terson's wells across the river had live

day. Driller Brege and Tool-dresser
Charlie Killmer were paraized for few
moments by a bolt of lightning which
found the hemp at tho top of the derrick,
| followed the cable down and spent its
force, it is supposed, at the bottom of the
hole, distance of 600 feet. Both men
were knocked off their feet but "come
too" at once, and, thinking it was "dan-

pended operations for the balance of the
day.

The law recently enacted, regulating
barber shops, will work quite an inno-
vation in the shops all over the State.
Under the new law it will be necessary
to subject the shaving brush to steam
bath every time it is used, while the ra.
zor used must he dipped into an aniicep-
tic solution before again applied to an
other mans face. Individual cups must
be used, as no two persons are to be
shaved with lather from the same cup,
while fresh soap must be used with each
customer. A fresh towel will also be
provided for each person shaved. Combs,
brushes and other implements must he
steamed and thoroughly cleansed, and
the shops must be at all times clean and
tidy. In order to secure the enforcement
of this law, three Inspectors are to be ap-
pointed, and it will be their duty to can
vass their districts just as is done by the
factory inspectors. This may be hard on
the BARRIERS but it will be cakes and GIN
ger bread for the grizzled and whiskered
patrons.
The party given by the Tionesta
dancing class at Bovard's hall last We'd
nesday evening was the social event of
the season, being attended by about thr-
ty couples, who enjoyed the program to
to the fullest extent. The young men
composing the class had very taste
fully decorated the hall with flags and
bunting, and flowers, ferns and ever
greens were everywhere in evidence,
making a very cheerful and pleasing
picture. The floor was in superb con-
dition for dancing and it was evidently
very chumpy chump who could not en-
Joy the delights OF the may whirl with
such conditions present. An excellent
supper was served by Landlord Weaver
at Hotel Agnew, which was not the least
of the enjoyable features of the affair. A
number of the young folks from Tidioute,
Oil City and other places were guests of
the class on this occasion, which was ad-
mirably managed by Dancing Master
Harry Kuhn. A Tidioute band furnish
ed the music.
-"Keep it out of the paper" is the cry
which the local newspaper publisher
hears every week. To oblige often costs
considerable, though the party who
