Charles Anderson Is making good
progress on the two-foot sewer down
Bridge street, and is making a substan-
tial job of ii. In digging through the
street at the end of the bridge, where the
excavation is about twelve feet deep, the
men had cave-in that let down several
tons of dirt and rock, but fortunately all
the workmen had just come out of the
ditch, otherwise there would have been
some serious results, as the crash was
sudden aud terrific.
Dog days are here. The season lasts
six weeks, and it is regarded by many
persons as more unhealthy than that
which Immediately precedes or succeeds
1t, and as being time when mankind is
more liable To attacks from disease
through exposure or imprudence in theiI
general habits than in any other. If there
is no foundation in fact for the belief it is
a superstition Of long standing. Dog
days were anciently the forty days be-
tween July Sd and August llth.

Hon. Cadwallader Biddle, chief in
spector of the State Board of Public Char
tiles, paid visit to Tiones;a last Thurs
day and inspected the Jail and County
Home. He always comes unheralded so
as to give the authorities 10 opportunity
to have things in order for his especial
benefit, but it is not surprising to learn
that he found everything connected with
Forest county's correctionary and char
table institutions in apple-pie order,
and he commended the officials for their
zeal and energy in keeping them so.
While returning from the whig Hill
campmeeting last Sunday night, Ray
Childs had narrow escape from serious
injuries in coming down the Tubbs Run
hill. At bend in the road known as
wildcat hollow" one of the horses made
a plunge over the steep embankment,
pulling his mate and the surrey over with
him. Ray managed to fiee himself from
the vehicle as it went over, thus escaping
injury. Securing help the horses and rig
were finally extricated from their predic-
ament, and strange to say neither animal
do lulbs anu lhO was bllll
slightly damaged.

Though happily rather scarce in the
Allegheny, one does occasionally catch
carp, and what to do with the big hog
fish after you have HIM, has been quite a
question heretofore. Fortunately Bos-
ton writer comes to the rescue with this
sensible recipe: "Clean the fish nicely
and let it dry two days in the sun. Nail
the fish to pine board and cover it thor
oughly with salt Let it stand two days
longer, and then put in the oven and
bake slowly for six hours. Then remove
the nails, take the carp from the board
and throw 1t away, eating the nails and
the board, which are said to be the best
part of the fish"
We met our friend Albert Martin the
other 1ay and was congratulating him
upon finding wad Of money near his
hen house, when he interrupted us by
saying: "Where did you newspaper men
get.tha story about me loosmg chickens
and finding pocket book near my hen
house?" We told Mr.. Martin that We
saw the story in II Pittsburg and num-
Der of other papers and supposed it to be
true. "Well," said Mr.. Martin, II did
not lose any chickens, nor find a pocket
book, as stated in tho papers. There is
not word OF truth in the statement" 1t
was good story, anyhow, but Albert
spoils it.-Greenville Progress.
The seedless apple is no longer mere
matter OF curious speculation, but an ac-
complished fact, as several bushels of
them from Colorado aye on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. This latest wonder of
the orchard is the result OF long and to-
dious scientific work by horticulmrists,
A very curious fact about the tree which
produces this fruit is that it is blossom
less, free from worms aud hardy enough
to endure severe frost, The blossomless
feature of the new tree is not only its
most striking pecnliaritY. but the one
