During an electrical storm on Mon
day evening of last week the house of DIR
Il. d. Bowman, at jamestown, N. Y.,was
struck by lightning, and Morris, his
eight-year- old son, was thrown onto his
face and severely shocked, though not
dangerously. A passerby was also the
recipient of so strong shock that the
doctor found it necessary to take him in
to the house for treatment. The house
was not greatly injured.
We note by the Forest county papers
that Prot ID. w. Morrison, formerly one
of Clarion connty's successful teachers,
now principal OF the Tionesta public
schools, is candidate for county super
intendent of Forest county. Prof Nor
rison has the qualifications for good
superintendent. Should he be selected by
the directors of Forest county the educa.
tional interests of the county will fall into
good hands.-Clarion Republican.
-"Many woman," says the critic,
"parades up the church aisle in a new
hat and gown, followed by her husband
in threadbare coat and last years hat"
All of which is admitted by the Garnet
Eagle, which then adds "many man
passes down the street with his old hide
full of beer, a cigar in his teeth aud a
chew of tobacco in his mouth. while his
wife can't get money enough to buy hat
of any kind tor herself or a pair of shoes
for her children"
The Oil City Blizzard knocked off the
% year of its existence last week, in the
sprightliest manner imaginable, but it's
Just as young as it used to be, and SO
long as the present force continues to
shape its destiny and grind out the edi-
torlal grist it cannot grow old. Nyther
will ii ever lack in brain power while
bait can be dug and fishes will bite. for
any of 'em could give Ike Walton cards
and spades and beat him to a stands still
at the angling business.
An interesting and largely attended
service was held at Mt. Zion Lutheran
church, German Hill, last sabbath after
noon, when the new minister, Rev. Paul
Schillinger, WAS installed as the pastor OF
the congregation. The serv ices were con-
Quoted by Rev. II. j. Reimann, of Oil
City, who delivered the charge to the
congregation and the pastor. Regular
services will now be held there, as for
merly, the new pastor dividing his time
between the churches there and at Demp-
seytown, Venango county,
-"Punxsutawney profittng by the
experience OF Ridgway, has had the pub
lie water supply examined, with the re-
suit that its use has been condemned, and
the water company is making calculations
on securing a sufficient supply of better
water. Several cases of fever developed
in the community, and the people, with
experiences of Butler and Ridgway before
them, required an investigation, and by
this prompt action have no doubt averted
a general spread of the disease" PUNK
sutawney's excellent example should he
followed by every community in the
state. If the people are drinking impure
water that fact should be demonstrated
before an epidemic of typhoid fever
breaks out.
