the Liverpool Mercury, ''if the worst
case of smallpox cannot be cured in
three days by simply the use of cream OF
tartar. One ounce of cream of tartar dis
solved in pint of hot water, drank at
intervals when cold, is a never failing
remedy. 1t has cured thousands, never
leaves a mark"

The sixteenth annual reunion of the
Bucktail reg ment will be held at Dubois
on September 10. II and is. Only 29i
men survive of the total enlistment of
l,10s, most of whom went down the Sus-
quehanua liver on RATS. Some of our
people remember we'll one company OF
this famous regiment that hoated down
the Allegheny river in the sixties, spend
ing one night in Tionesta on their way.
The survivors now are scattered over 2l
States Of the Union.
William Thomas, whose serious loss
ofan eye by accident was noted in the
REPUBLICAN last week, was taken 10 Oil
City last Saturday and consultation had
with DR.. Siggins with Wow to haymg
the injured eye removed. The doctor
advised that for the present no operation
be undertaken, at least so long as the
eve was doing so well. Mr.. Thomas does
not suffer the palm one might suppose he
would under the circumstances which is
one gratifying feature of the case.
We feel a little anxious concerning
the black berry crop. SO far we haven't
heard anything. We don't know whether
this lack of Information augers well or i'll
for the crop. Usually mo news is good
news." We are trying 10 believe this is
true concerning the blackberry crop
Brookyille Democrat. If the crop cores
on as it now promises-thati is if there's
nothing to hinder-we can assure our
anxious friend that he will have snl-
ficent Of the black fellows to fill all the
Jam fars at a fair TO reasonable price.
-"Betting is what puts base ball on the
hog" remarked local sage yesterday.
"when a lot of fellows have bet on the
game you can look out for trouble. They
lose their sense of fairness and decency,
burt out all the i'll remarks they can
think of, roast the umpire and make
chumps of themselves generally. When
ever see man wrought up to the boil
ing point and acting like hoodlum / al
ways wonder how much he has bet on the
game. The man who bets should at least
keep his mouth shut, for he must know
himself that he is not an unprecedented
judge. e.-Punx'y Spirit.
The Vail & Hastings meat market
and grocery at West Hickory was en-
tered by burglars on Friday hight last
aud about $40 in silver and n number of
valuable papers stolen. An entrance to
the building was effected through the
back window. The safe was opened and
books and papers were thrown upon the
floor. The boxes on the inside of the safe
were torn out and one, made OF iron, was
found next morning near the depot.
Home talent, or an organized band of
thieves, is suspected of this robbery, and
in all probability some of the culprits
will be apprehended ere long.
We show too much of a disposition to
cover the ca kets of our loyed ones with
roses after they are dead, and allowing
them to hustle for their flowers while
they are alive, says the Falls Creek Her
aid. 1t is strange some men never find
out the admirable traits in the character
of their wives, or those whom they have
reason to love all their lives, until after
death has closed the lids of their loved
ones tight and they pass oil into that
peaceful sleep about which we know so
little and hope so much. 1t is better to
give a little rose for button hole boquet,
TO the man who is living, than TO cover
with profusion of flowers the bier of the
one who is dead.
Frank Lawrence, the lentlemanly
representative OF the famous Winchester
Repeating Arms Co., gave our town |call
Monday and made a number of new
friends for his firm. lie tells us his peo-
pie load million shot gun cartridges
and turn out over seven hundred com
plete guns every working day in the
10
wear. There are several other large firms
in the country engaged in the manulac'
/ ture OF shot gun ammunition, some OF
whom doubtless approximate this out
put. and thus some idea may be formed
ofthe growing popularity of target OF
trap shooting in the United States, for all
of their ammunition is used up aud factor
| les are often far behind their orders.
Our base ball boys are winning
games now. Thursday the crack Titus
vile club came over and lugged home
defeat in a very closely contested and
snappy game which resulted 6 to 3 il
favor of the home team. But the pretties
game of the season was pulled off at Siv

the Tiunesta team went down and dc
