"A company composed OF Tionesta's
best home talent is rehearsing on new
comedy drama, "The Deacon" which they
intend 10 present some time during the

fun, being somewhat after the style OF
The "Old Homestead" It's written by
Horace G. Dale and makes decided hit
wherever produced. The regular cast
consists of II people, besides which
there are number of other characters.
The play will be given in the /. o. u. f..
hall.
The book, "Transplanting An Old
Tree" by VIII J. Bloomfield, of this
county, and published by Isaac II.
Blanchard Co., of New York, is story
that will live and appeal to many an old
homesick heart, especially those who
have been lured from rural to civic
scenes. The Characterization is very
strong, the dialogue natural, the scenes
VIVID, the style pure and the purpose
moral. We predict for the book a gem
erous reception. Tastefully bound and
on sale at Davis Pharmacy. Tionesta.

Baris Hope, of ehrton, who died a few

and servei until the finish, and his early

Tremendous floods wero reported
iron all over the State asa result Of the
heavy rains of last Friday and Saturd y.
Tionesta creek and the Allegheny river
were on rampage last Sunday, but little
damage OF consequence is reported. At
Kellettville the water reached out over
the banks aud many houses were sur
rounded Dut sustained no material loss
or damage. At the tannery between 50
and 90 cords OF bark broke loose from
one of the piles and floated away, which
wa- about the only loss sustained in that
neighborhood.
"A lerge number Of people go through
life in n dazed and dreamy way, without
understanding, or caring to understand,
the meaning of things. For instance the
word "oyer md terminer' as applied to
courts, is not understood by half the peo-
Pile, and yet few words are more familiar.
TIE word "oyern is Anglo French, and
means ito hear" "Terminer" means ito
determine" Hence a court of oyer and
terminer is one in which causes are heard
and determned.-PunX'y Spirit. Now,
If that isn't CORE it will go hard with
you, Bro. Smith.

very severe on those who persist on
