raise fund in this borough for the India
famine sufferers, and persons who have
been assigned to the work of gathering
the subscriptions will call on the people
some day during the present week. Be
ready to meet them with that charity
which the awful condition of these starv-
ing millions plead for.
| Census enumerator James w. Mong,
having finished Tionesta townships
enumeration, is now doing the borough.
Every citizen should see that he is
enumerated" together with all his en-
| tire connection-sisters. cousins, and
aunts. Unless our citizens take the pro-
! per interest in this matter some may be
| overlooked. Let us see that the borough
4 gets credit for all its inhabitants. 1t costs
nothing. BE CHEEKY, prompt and accurate
in giving all information which the emu
merator may require.
-Rivermen who recently returned
from trip to Pittsburg report the To-
Gusts so plentiful in many sections along
The Allegheny that their constant, buz-
Zing noise is almost deafening, and be-
coming so monotonous as to "almost set
a fellow crazy" as they expressed it..
They are said to be the l7-year variety,
but so far as heard from haye done no
serious damage to crops. What the eff
feet of these little pests will be when the
crops are more matured remains to be
seen. 1t is not thought, however, that
they will become very bothersome.
| The drive between here and the new
county home was well patronized last
Sunday, many people taking the oppor-
tunity to visit the. fine building just prior
to its opening for the reception of the
poor who will have their home there
hereafter. The County Commissioners
wish it understood that visitors will not
be allowed in the building on Saturdays,
Sundays or Mondays. The former and
latter days are very busy ones with those
having charge of the building, and on Sun
to their day of rest, same as other people.

cation and erection of the hospital. DR..

| -Tionesta and Pleasantville base ball
lists came together on the formers
| grounds last Wednesday afternoon and a
very entertaining game was the result,
though perhaps little one-sided. Pleas
\ antville was strengthened somewhat by
Tltusville and Tidioute talent, but their
team was not heavy enough for Tionesta,
< which had Meadville battery. The
game resulted II to l, the one score by
Pleasantville being the result of errors
1 by Tionesta. A return game between
these clubs at Pleasantville is being ar
ranged for next Friday, when Tionesta
may expect to get up against the real
thing.
One of the best and simplest cures for
4 insomnia is said to be the odor of raw
onions. They should be mashed to a
pulp in order to free all the juice. Smell
this substance for ten minutes after retir-
ing. 1t is said to quiet the most nervous
person and relax the most overwrought
nerves. Onions contain form of opium.
This gives them soporific qualities. The
! smell after little while ceases to be
obnoxious. People who are exceedingly
sensitive to odors will feel no unpleasant
effects. 1t will not induce headaches or
nausea, as might be supposed. A gentle
enough to try this means of wooing
slumber. The senses become dull, the
nerves weakened and restful sleep fol-
lows, says the Philadelphia Times.
On account of repairs that are being
made on the Presbyterian church it will
not be in condition to use next Sunday.
