&C. NJ. Arner & Son, who are just now
doing nice business in the real estate
line, have number OF very desirable
properties on their list, among which is a
thirty acre piece ON the West Side, known
as the Hunter homestead, located above
the depot. This property has an unlim-
tied supply of shale, which has been thor
oughly tested and found to be among the
very finest for making the celebrated
Bradford brick. Another piece contains
20 acres OF farm land near the above also
a one-acre landing and mill site. The
hill field opposite Tionesta, 1876 acres, is
also or sale. The firm has also very
good 50-acre form in Hickory Twp, 80
acres improved, good buildings and nice
orchard. 1t will pay you to consult the
Messrs. Arner, for they have a number
of excellent houses and lots in the bor-
ough most of which are positive bargains.
The County Commissioners yesier-
day made the appointment of Steward
and Matron of the County Home, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Paup of Neiltown, Harmony
twp, being named. The appointment is
for one year, and the salary is fixed at
$3.50 for the Steward and $3.50 for the
Matron. Mr.. Paup is one of our coun-
tvs most successful husbandmen, own
ing fine fam near the village of Neil
town, which he has under fine state of
cultivation. Both he and his vile have
had experience in the management OF a
county home, having been in charge of
the Venango county institution for three
years. Itwas largely this fact that iuflu
enced the Commissioners in their selec-
tion, which is believed to be good one.
the home will hardly be ready for the re-
ception ofpatients before the first of April.
We are in receipt of the sixth an
annual catalogue of the Warren Business
University, which is model of neatness
and, very nicely portrays the many ad-
vantages to be had at this most success
full school for fitting young men and
young women for the business walks of
life. Under the management of Prof.
w. f. McWiliams, Principal, this ad
mirably conducted institution has gained
wonderful favor among the people of this
section OF the State, and the very large
attendance which it has had during the
past term is ample evidence that the
work done there is of the most thorough
and satisfactory character. To those who
have any notion whatever of taking a
course in business training, short hand,
typewriting, te!egraphy or the like,
we would say send for copy of the cata.
logue, place yourself in communication
with the principal and ascertain the ad
vantages they have to offer.
-"Sketches in Crude OIL" by John j.
MoLaurin, the second edition of which
has been published, is one of the most in
tensely interesting books that has ever
been placed on the market in this lati-
tude. The aut. or has made his second
work so much superior to his first that
one would scarcely believe the two were
written by the same master hand. The
oil business from its very inception, back
in the fifties, down to the present date is
covered fully, and no story, anecdote,
data or material fact connected with the
pioueer days of oidom has been over
looked. The book is profuse in iliustra-
ton and portraiture, and withal model
of beauty in m 'ke-up and Typographical
neatness. In short time you will likely
get a call from A. w. Albaugh, the
hustling canvassar, who has taken the
agency for this book. Look it over and
subscribe for it; you will not regret the
outlay il you once tackle the contents.
