BoBues are not easily ulStnayou by a llt-
tie bad weather, and are doubtless enjoy.
ing the outing in a good degree.
Our townsman, James Garfield, is at
the head of company that has taken a
lease ofnearly 300 hundred acres in VIC
tory and Sandycreek townships, Venan-
go county, and will proceed to operate
the same without delay. The lease is
adjacent to some good territory. and 1t is
believed the venture will turn out all
right, all of which would be gratifying to
Jim's friends h~ereabouts.
This is the time of the year that mer-
chants are stocking up for the winters
trade, and purchasers are looking around
for the best bargains obtainable. A word
to the buyer, if you will look over the
lads in this paper it will be of material
benefit to you. All of N advertisers
are strictly reliable and carry nothing in
their line but the best in the market at
the lowest possible prices.
Although there has been no lang

nifty during the past season that we have
observed, yet it might not be out of place
perhaps TO suggest an old fashioned corn
husking bee to vary the monotony. A
of this sort, with pumpkin pie
accompaniment, would bring back recol-
~lections of we olden time, besides teach
ing the young people the art of real fun
making as it used to be.
III. G. Allen, for upward of twenty
years city passenger and ticket agent for
the Nickle Plate railroad at Erie, has re-
signed his position. Mr.. Allen is well
known in this county, having booked
many passengers from this section on his
popular excursions to the far west, and
his retirement will be generally regretted
by those who have been the recipients of
his uniform courtesy. He is succeeded
by A. G. Showalter, of Dunkirk.
The Lady Maccabees of this place
gave a fine brnquet at the home of Mrs.
g. II. Anderson last Wednesday evening,
in honor off class ofnew members that
had recently united with the Tent. An
elegant time was had, with many good
things to eat. The entertainment con-
sisted of games, social chat, and general
merry-making until the "wee small
hours gave warning that it was time
for the happy throng to ~disperse.
The Rev. r. w. Hlingworth will be
publicly installed as pastor of the Pres
byterian church in Tionesta on Thursday
evening next at 1880. Rev. s. f. Marks
of Tidioute will preach the sermon; Rev.
II. f. Earsemsn of Edenburg will charge
the people, and Rev. DR.. Conway of
Brookville will preside and PROFOUND
the constitutional questions. The public
is invited to attend the installation exer-
cises and hear the addresses which will
be delivered on the occasion.
A weather sharp predicts IN open
winter and says Christmas will be as
warm as any day this week has been.
He bases his opinion on the fact that
witch hazel is in blossom, which he
claimed to be an invaluable sign. Time
alone will determine this.-Ex. Yes,
then there are the hornets nests, which
are built high up on the branches of sap
lings, a dead sure sign ola mild winter.
But her there is the goose bone to be
reckoned with. and the corn husk too, by
the. way. Well all know more about it
along sometime next April.
We wonder if all our Republican
friends realize that an election will take
place in this great big prosperous State
in less than two weeks from this day?
Whether they have thought much about
it or not it is n fact nevertheless, and it is
important that they take a serious
thought over the matter, to the end that
every one so shapes his affairs as to get
and cast a ballot. There has been no
great fuss about the election this year,
and it is just as well that there hasn't
been, but that doesn't lessen a mans
duty to his party in the least. Don't for
get to vote.
The Blizzard advocates the enact
ment of a curfew ordinance for Oil City.
There is no question about such a law
being a good thing for any community
in which children are allowed the free
dom of the streets at all hours of the

been in force for four or five years, and
we don't believe any parent or citizen
would care to see it abrogated. After the
ringing of the bell there is comparative
quiet, and the sight ola boy or girl I'M
der sixteen years of age, unattended by
older member of the family, is al
most unheard of. The curfew properly
en- forced is all right.
The gaming seaso was auspiciously
opened on the 10Th inst, about half the
population of the town, more or less,
turning out with guns, dogs. and the at
tendant concomitants, but the amount of
game brought in can hardly be said to
have been commensurate win the. eX-
pense attending the occasion. On the
day following the opening IL worthy
Sheriff hied himself to the woods for a
few hours, and came back with five nice
grouse, plump and lat, dangling at his
belt. Mr.. Noblit had no dog, was not ac-
quuinted with the lay of the ground, and
makes no claim to any particular ex-
pertness with a shot gun. But such is
luck.
The main excitement in the West
End is over a school boy Who, his parents,
claim, was unjuustly and wrongfully
punished being tied to a chair. The kids
binds,'' very heartily. But after the
