Ten to twelve inches of snow on the
hiltops, and at least six down hear in the
valley, II not a measly record by any
means for April Sth, 1902. Older heads

One often hears the claim made that
the average human being eats too
much meat, and it is doubtless true. At
any rate just now, when the trusts are

day, would be an excellent time to try
the experiment of less meat eating for the
good ofyour health, and incidentally the
pocket book also.

Considerable fever has been aroused
in and about Marienvile by what is sup
posed to be a good strike in oil out about
the Beaver Meadows, five miles north of
the town. The operators are mostly
Marie willie business men and they are
naturally much eldted over the prospects
of opening field there. The well, which

Venus, Jupiter and Saturn are all three
morning stars and may be seen at their
greatest brilliaucy before sunrise. All are
in the east and southeastern sky. Mars
is lost to sight entirely and will not make
his appearance again for several months

Speaking of fishing, there is a land

During the past week of frightfully
bad roads the Tylersburg mail man has
been running two hacks, the better to &C.
his customers. This has been
a source of much annoyance to Col. West
of the Kellettvill) route, who declares
that people are actually going 10 Tylers-
berg instead of Kellettville these days
solely on account of tho asded facilities
in that direction, and he is powerless to
stop ii because Liveryman Kribbs re-
fuses to put more than one hack on the
route.
Hon. George A. jerks, of Brookville,
was in town couple of days last week.
Mr.. jerks is a well preserved man of IS
years, and is as young in spirit as ever,
he says he doesn't take a much
exercise as he use to, and dosn't smoke
as many cigars. lie limits himselfto five

smoking all the time it becomes so per
that hc never feels the want nor

engineers have been surveying a railroad
route through Venango and Clarion
counties. Much interest has been ex-
hibited by the people, but the engineers
have not intimated whose employ they

morning" or good evening, central" /" as
the case may be. or course if the occa-
