"A newly married couple at Pittsburg
was captured by their fun loving friends,
placed in an express wagon and driven
about the town for the populace to laugh
at. This form ofidiocy is becoming an
intolerable nuisance and will doubtless
be the subject of punitive legislation
some day. The newly married man aud
woman should have some rights and are
deserving of respect. - bradford Era.
The Fourth was quiet one in Tio-
nesta, passing off very decently, as it
should always. A bail game was played
between Tionesta and Pleasantville,
which was not very exciting, and resulted
in score of l3 in favor of the home
team. The little folks were generally
provided with fre-crackers, and some
with toy pistols, but luckily there were
no accidents. There was evidence of con-
siderable drinking, and the pity is it was
mostly among the younger element,
some of it among boys who found some
way of getting the stuff. But as whole
it was an improvement on the so.called
old fashioned celebration of the Fourth.

M. A. Zipfele aud F. G. Ittel, who
had registered at the Exchange hotel as
from Loleta, Elk county, the evening
previous, were run over and killed while
attempting to cross the Z. Il E. railroad
track at East Warren, last Saturday alter
noon. The former was killed instantly,
but Ittel lived about hours alter the acci-
dent, but did not regain consciousness
before he died. He is thought to be ason
of David Ittell, well known to many
Barnett township citizens. Both men
were apparently under 30 years of age.
They were going in the direction of
Grunderville, where they told the livery
man from they hired the rig they intend
ed going. The horses had crossed the
railroad track and we're separated from
the vehicle when the locomotive struck
it. They were uninjured, but the con-
veyance was feariully demolished.
"A man who works by the day and
knows that his days work is done when
his hours are up, and gets salary suf-
ficient for him to live comfortably and
save little beside, should be one of the
happiest men in the world, says an ex-
change. The man who works and slaves
and slaves and works all his life in some
little or large business of his own and
worries about his minor details of that
business aud dreams nights of schemes
to increase his income, after all has only
the six feet of earth that covers us all
alike when the frail and uncertain coil OF
life has been snapped. We waste the
powers of youth and ruin our health to
provide for the feeble days of old age,
and in the midst of it all we are cut down
in our half erected mansion. We provide
for the future as though it belonged to us,
with never thought that the day we are
living may perhaps be or last.
