Sharon, Pa, is in the thrJes Of a
smallpox epidemic. DR.. Berryhill, a
prominent physician with large prac-
tice which necessitatos him to yisit.scores
of people daily, was taken with the
dreaded disease Saturday and removed to
tie pest house. The city council has ex-
pressed a willingness to appropriate Sl5,-

outbreak. Vaccination is being done on
the wholesale scale there at present.
"A donkey stepped into a store and
the owner approached the beast and
asked "What are you doing here9 You
know this is not the place for donkey"
81 am here" said the donkey "because
saw your adve' 'tisement on the fence that
surrounds my pasture. know you, too,
must bo a donkey, or you would place
your advertisem sut In newspaper where
1t would be read by people, not donkeys,
Beiug lonesome to day, l thought
would be neighborly aud make a frater-
nal call"
The REPUBLICAN is prepared to fur
nish note heads and envelopes in small
lots neatly printed aud put up in nice
cabinet, just suited to the wants OF the
people who have a limited correspon-
dence. With the name and address on
your paper and envelopes many mis-
takes are avoided, and the expense is
scarcely any greater Than you pay for the
blank paper aud envelopes. Farmers
and others living in the country are in
vitod to Try this method. We know it
will please them.
An exchange tells ofa lady who de-
cided to scare her husband, who was
quite bard druker, so he would reform.
TO do this she procured the costume OF a
devil which she saw at a masquerade.
The next time the erring spouse came
home feeling happy, she quickly donned
the costume, and as he opened the door
she stepped forward aud said in sepul-
chral tone: "Come with me, | am the
devil" The result rather startled ber, as
the answer to her greeting was; "Zatso?
Shake. old boy, I'm your brother Jaw;
married your sister,
The siyerly ball players
Hitters came up last Friday aud ad-
ministered drubbing to our home team
in very poorly played game on both
sides, the score Standing IS 10 10 in favor
Of he visitors at the end of the ninth in
ming. Monday Tionesta went to Titus
Vile and played the return game with
the club at that city. Those who wit
messed it say that the game was very
pretty one, and that two bad errors in the
eighth inning by one of Tionestas play
ers gave Tiusv lie the game by one score
the result being to 6 in favor of the
home team. Up to that inning the game
stood three to five in favor of Tionesta.
There are 10 cases ofsmallpoX report
ed at Mayville, Chautauqua county, N.
Y. A short time ago barber who had
Travelled with the Triple Plate shows,
which started from Tidioute early in the
season aud broke up at that place, opened
a barber shop in the town aud in one day
shaved so men. His hands at that time
were all broken out with sores. A day
or two afterwards he was taken down
with the terrible disease and il is thought
that he is the cause of the epidemic. The
show appeared in small towns in the vi
cinity of Garland and it is thought that
the disease was originally contracted
from some of the residents OF that town,
where there have been nearly a dozen
cases.
The water Company has been having
trouble keeping up the supply If water
during the past two weeks. The reser-
voir had sprung a leak and needed re-
pairing, in consequence of which there
has been no water in it for ten days or
more. That has been fixed but there still
seems TO be scarcity and it is evident
there is a large leak in the main line
somewhere, but just wnere, that's tie
rub, nobody being able to locate it to a
certainty. p. s. Since this item was
put in type the leak has been found.
The main had brokeD squarely in two
where it passes over culvert near the
school building. 1t has been repaired
and in day or two the reservoir will
have its usual amount of water.
Relatives here have been apprisea of
the death of DR.. John Dale Hays, eldest
son Of the late David HAYS former we'll
