Judge Thomas in addressing the con-
stables of Crawford county informed
them in no uncertain language that their
stereotyped reports indicating All alb
sence of lawlessness in their districts and
townships are no longer desired. That
the dignity of the law must be upheld,
etc. One of the jurymen came into court
intoxicated, and the Judge sent the fell
low to Jail.
DIR. Boyard has recently added ma
terially to the comfort and convenience
of his office, having arranged a special
room for the treatment of eye, ear, nose
and throat diseases. He has all the mod
ern appliances for this class of work, and

fore accessible to the people of this Sec
ton. The doctor believes in keeping
thoroughly up to date.

to be the best well ever found in the
Cropp Hill field, last Friday. 1t is locat-
ed on the Henry Ksmsn farm, and o o
after the shot was set off the hole filled
up over five hundred feet with oil.

The officials of the Forest County
Poultry Association have advices from
the White Plymouth Rock Club, of this
State, hat the latter have decided to hold
their State meeting in Tionesta on the
occasion of the annual exhibit of the
County Association, which begins on the
22d of December. This will be a new and
decidedly interesting feature to the show,
as the White Rock Club will have on ex-
hibition some of the finest stock to be
seen in the United States, and which is
seldom seen outside the larger cities.
From almost every section of the
country come reports of bears, and il any
reliance can be placed on what one hears
this species of game seems decidedly
plentiful this season. Nevertheless we
hear of very few being killed thus far.
1t is usually those who are out after small
game that make the report, and as these
are often timid strangers, not accustomed

"A press dispatch from Harrisburg
under date of November IL says: mo
tees have been sent to school superin.
tendents throughout the state that no
appropriations will be granted to a school
district that has not complied with all
the provisions of the compulsory educa-
ton law. The certificates sent out by
the department require the secretary of
the school district applying for the APP
preparation to make oath that the ON
pulsory education law cannot be carried
out in the district. By this means the
department hopes to enforce the law aud
compel the local departments to force
children to attend school,"
-Messrs. f. w. Bowen and H. w.
Rathbun, of the Oil City Blizzard, took
last Thursday off and spent the day with
Tionesta friends in the woods. 1t was a
windy day and cold as "blixen," making
the game wild and the hunter tame, yet
they didn't go home empty handed. This
little mathematical calculation in the
Blizzard of the following day was doubt
inspired by their experience in the woods:
ave cannot give the exac speed of the
pheasant's flight, but, from personal OBJ
servation, should calculate it at from 800
to 900 feet per second. This speed may
be somewhat accelerated by firing a gun
in the direction of the flying bird"
Electricity promises to drive the
woodman's axe not "back to the woods"
but ont of the business of cutting down
our forests. In France the new method
of telling trees and reducing them to saw
logs is no longer an experiment. A
platinum wire is heated to a white heat
by an electric current and used like a
saw. In this manner the tree is felled
much easier and quicker than the old
way no sawdust is produced, and the
slight ca-bonization caused by the hot
wire acts as a p~resrvative of the
wood. The new method is said to re-
quire Only one-eighth of the time con-
sumed by the old saving process. The
saw as we'll as the axe promises soon to
be out of date.
