The newly elected County Commits
sioners met few days ago and decided
ON Samuel NJ. Henry of Marienville as
their choice for Clerk for the ensuing
term. The selection of Mr.. Henry ought
and doubtless will give entire sa' 'isfaclion
to the people of the county. His capa-
bilities are leyond question and his
popularity extends to his entire acquaint-
anceship. In making Mr.. Henry their
clerk the new board gives an earnest that
they intend 10 begin right and that mat.
ters about the Commissioners office will
have the best of attention.
The Lancaster Morning News notes a
successful hunting trip TO Novia Scotia
by A. c. KepleI, a cousin of MIS-. J. d.
Davis of this place and who has visited
here often and hunted with some of our
earlier Nimrods. Mr.. Kepler and his
friend were successful in bringing down
several moose of ordinary size, but to the
former fell the prize in that line. 1t was
a male moose over six feet in height and
supporting a splendid set of antlers, the
two branches having q prongs. It is said
to have been the finest specimen ever
brought across the border.
The women of Meadville are urging
the adoption of the curfew law in that
city. There is usually opposition to the
passage ofa curfew ordinance by well
meaning people, but once the law is put
in operation, it gives good satisfaction,
and reinforced does great dea Of good.
Tionesta has had sufficient experience
with the law to appreciate it, and wouldn't
return to the old habit Of allowing chill
dren up to sixteen years of age on the
streets after o'clock in the evening, for
anything. The curfew law is all right,
and towns which don't believe it should
try ii and enforce it.
MIR. James Aharrsh, who quit Heath
township some months since and located
on farm in Union township, was one of
the interested spectators among the crowd
who were assembled at the Court House
last night to get the returns from the
election, but the reports received didn't
seem to suit him very well and he con-
cluded at a rather early hour that 1t was
folly for him to lose any sleep over the
result and he gracefully retired. Brook
vile Republican. Our friend James.
though an ardent Democrat, has seen so
many political defeats that he can look
upon them philosophically and smilingly.
-on Saturday last, J. A. Fleming U, S.
Engineer, who is connected with the Geo
detc, Coast and River surveys, was at
Tionesta. to establish a point here, con-
nected with the photographic survey of
the Allegheny river. The place chosen
for the location was in Riverside Gene
terry, at or near the junction of the main
entrance from the South side of said
cemetery, with the entrance from Elm
street. This important stone is mar
hlo block about 6 or inches square and
five feet long sunk into the earth about 5
feet, so as TO be permanent, and is an
chored, or "tied to" surrounding objects.
In this connection we would suggest
that the County. in connection with this
established monument, locate true me-
ridan line, as is required by an old Act
OF Assembly to test surveyors compasses
and instruments by,-a duty which is
neglected in many counties.
