Miss May Clark, day operator at tn,
Penns'y station here, was called to Eagle
Rock Monday to take the place of Agen
Peter McCrea, who dislocated his wris
by falling while alighting from a moving
companied by Miss Lucy Huling, who

james Gaul, one of jerks townships
successful farmers and beekeepers
brought to Tionesta last Saturday ovel
three hundred pounds of honey taken
from his apiary this season. He had nc
difficulty in disposing of the lot here, and
Mr.. Gaul did not fail to remember the
printer with delicious box, which we
found to be a very fine article of honey.
The wheat harvest is now on and the
yield is very fair one. Rye is about the
same and oats look promising. The corn
crop is going to be fully up to the aver
age, while hay, which is about ready for
the mower, is not going to be much be-
hind hand in yield. Potatoes are looking
extra well at this time, and if not stricken
by blight of any kind will be an extra
fine crop.
Since chestnuts were first discovered
it is doubtful whether the signs for an
abundant crop were ever so great as at
the present time. Every tree in every
direction, on every hill and in every val
ley, is loaded to the br,m with richest
blossoms, and surely the outlook for a
great yield of the fruit, as well as big
crop of Sunday accidents, later on, was
never more promising.
Last Friday, while gathering June
berries, Orion. the l4-year-old son of l..
Il. Ogood, of Endeavor, fell a distance OF
25 feet and was quite badly shaken up
and bruised. DR.. Will Morrow was
called but found no bones broken, though
the lad was sore in dozen places. The
escape from very serious injury was
a lucky one, and was probably as close a
call as he will care to experience this
season.
The Fourth passed off in this vicinity
without the semblance of an accident,
thanks be to the more common sense
method of celebrating that great event
that prevailed hereabouts. In Tionesta
there was no stir of any consequence, the
people seeming to find the greatest COM
fort in the quiet of their homes and sur
roundings, and the exploding of a few in
nocent little fire-crackers and the send
ing up ofa few rockets in the evening by
young America constituted about all the
excitement oft the day, which, speaking
in weather vane, was hot number.

Last week while visiting friends here
James Hunter, OF Mill Village, Pa, took
occasion 10 Inspect some of the graves in
the old Methodist cemetery where some
of his ancestors are buried. He found
an oak tree growing between the graves
of John and Shollas Range which meas
ured feet 4 inches in circumference, or
3 feet inch in diameter. This tree is
supposed to have grown from an acorn
since these interments were made, over
"A years ago. At best the tree could not
have been more than very small sap
ling at that time, for the graves are but
three or four feet apart. John Range was
killed by rifle bail that
glanced from the water where it had been
shot at duck. Mr.. Hunter is the only
