nown, has been at Marienville for the
past two weeks, and has done an immense

the estate OF the late Edwin e. Clapp, in
PI esident and Pinegrove townships, have
sold Il, 900 acres OF the timber land in
President township to the Grandin Lum-
Der company, of Tidioute. 1t is estimat-
ed that there are fro II %, 600, 900 to 30, OO0.-
600 feet of pine lumber in the new pur-
chase. The Grandin company is getting
ready to get it out. A complete and
modern plant will be erected, including
band sawmill, trimmers, edgers, match
ers, planners, re-saw, shingle and lath
mill. Much of the timber is of virgin
pine and the last tract of any magnitude
left in Venango county.
base ball league is making it exceedingly
entertaining for the Pittsburg champions
of the National league, the record up to
this penning showing the superiority OF
the former IN the series of games now be-
ing pulled off for the worlds champion
ship between these two penant winners.
Seven of the nine games have now been
played, the last four on the Pittsburg
grounds, and the bean-eaters have four OF
them to their credit. The last two games
are to be played on the Boston grounds,
and Pittsburg must win them both if she
would take the series. The proposition
is a tough one for our favorites, but they
may be equal to the task. p. S.-The
Bostonians were successful in winning
the game yesterday, giving them five out
OF the nine games, and so the champion
ship goes to the club"
The County Commissioners of jeff
erson county were convicted last week OF
furnishing oleomargerine to the inmates
of the county h ,me, the prosecution be-
ing brought in the name oil the Common
wealth. There al pears to have been no
contention as to tho facts, the commits
sioners admitting the charge to be true,
and resting their case on the question Of
the constitutionality of the act of assem-
bly, of May Odd, 1893. Judge Reed was OF
the opinion that the act was constitutions
al, and il passing sentence used these
words: "The defendants are not to be
severely censured or punished for moi
knowing that it was a valid piece of leg
i~slation obligatory upon them. % . ]
am convinced hat the ends of justice viii
be fully mel upon the payment 10y them
of the costs and in the aggregate the pay
ment of a fiue of one hundred dollars"
The season hastens hitherward wher
its nip and tuck between the seductive
chestnut tree and the trusty fowling -piect
as to which shall bag the most human
game. AS long as our spOrtive fellow
citizens and idiots keep dragging loaded
shotguns cut OF the tail-ends of wagon:
and through the brush, We'll bet on
hard-earned money on the shotgun'i
score. The great company of it's perfo
rated ghosts that yearly set foot on thu
shining strand of the Beyond will testify
to the promptness and reliability of TIT
fowling-piece in improving an advantag'
its aptitude in getting busy on the short
est n~otice-while you wait. as it were
Ills true, the chestnut tree has its hum
BILE claims in the sporting line. It's quit
a success as a bone breaker and crust
buster in the case of those who select tn
airline route in descending from it. But
compared with the shotgun, iG is defc
lent in variety of esour and sluggish
getting there.-Frankl lin Spectator.
