sheriff George w. Noblit, of Tionesta,
arrived in the city on Thursday morning
and returned in the afternoon with Will
liam Kuhn, of that ueighborbood, who
was charged with the larceny of a silver
watch and gold chain. The man was ar
rested here on Tuesday after he had at
tempted to sell the timepiece at several
places, his last prospective customer he-
ing ex-Police Officer Clyde Culp, who
turned him over to Chief of Police MI
gent.-Derrick. The young man above
referred to is named Albert Rooms, and
he halls from Luzerne county. The watch
taken was the property Of a Mr.. Peter
son, of Buck Mills. Koons was taken
bolore Squire John Shaw, of Kellettville,
last Friday, who sentenced him to three
months in tho county Jail.
Last Saturday Mrs. ID. f.. Carson, of
Stewart Run, brought real curiosity to
this Office in the shape of a fully develop.
ed hens egg that had entwined in its
meat horsehair measuring twenty-six
and one-half inches. The egg had been
hard boiled With number of others, by
Mr.. j. A. Dawson, and when broken
open the hair, which was dark and evil
IDENTIFY came from the tail of some
horse, was wound or distributed all
through the egg. Here is freak which
we will not attempt to explain, but will
leave to some scientific talented cuss" 10
unravel. How that tremendous big hair
got itself tangled in that egg is too much
of a problem for this shop. If it had got
mixed up in roll of butter then the
mystery would have been cinch for us.
Several preachers puzzled themselves
and their congregations one Sunday by
trying to discover and explain the reason
why men don't go to church. Now there
is no mystery whatever about that matter.
The men don't go to church simply be-
cause they don't believe in the necessity
of going. They have not the deep and
vital religious faith of which church work
is the outward expression They may
think they believe, but actually they do
not believe in the religion they profess.
They are not convinced that their fate for
all eternity depends on faith in its dogmas
and obedience to its obligations. How to
get men to go to church? Let there be a
revival of true and genuine religious
faith and the churches will not be large
enough to hold them. New York Sun.
"A sight as rare as il is pretty and in
teresting may be seen at the rear of the
White Star Grocery, where Frank Ans
Ter is propagating a lot of Mongolian
pheasants. The old birds-a male and
two females-are the property of F. A,
Keller, and are very handsome. The
hens have laid nearly or quite sixty
eggs this season, and one of them is as
sduously at work on nest of 10 or 20
which should be hatched in few days.
Mr.. Amsler put setting under one of his
large hens with the result that she
brought out eight of tine tiny little chicks,
and the old mother seems as greatly
pleased over her little family as though
they were half grown turkeys, and the
little fellows are industrious scratchers,
full of life and quite obedient to the cluck
of their foster mother If these fine game
birds can be so easily propagated our for
ests might in few years be veritable
hunters paradise if proper attention were
given to the matter by our sportsmen.
Quite an interesting. suit at law is ex-
pected to develop out of the tragedy en-
acted near Golinza, this county, last De-
cember, when Leonard M. johnson shot
his wife and then sent bullet through
his own brain. If brought to an issue the
case will be tried in Lawrence county,
where they had formerly resided. 1t ap-
pears that the woman vas possessed of
some money which was in the hands of
her guardian at the time of her decease,
and the question involved is whether she
or the husband died first. If she was
first to expire, then, having no children,
the husband would fall heir to her
personal estate. and from him it would
pass TO his legal heirs. II, however, he
was the first to die then her heirs would
be entitled to the money left. The wo-
man did not die instantly after being
shot, and after firing the fatal shots john
son went to patch of woods some dis
tance fIom the house, and was there
found dead with bullet hole in his head
No one saw him infict the wound upon
himself, and the question of which of the
two was first TO die will have to be estab-
ished before legal distribution of the
funds can be had.
