1t is astonishing how many people
seem to think It is the business of a news
paper to jump in and lambast everything
and evel ybody at the request of any
modest individual who hasn't the nerve
to touch setting hen. Ifan honest citi-
zen had occasion 10 rake brother citizen
over the Goals for some personal griev-

According to G. w. Osgood's record
of the past winters snow fall, which he
kept with a good deal OF care, there were
a total of 793 inches, covering the entire
winter period, divided "a follows: Octo-
Der inch, November q inches, Decem-
Der l39 inches, January 32l inches, Feb
ruary l7} inches, March 81 inches, April
inches. These measurements We're
taken in the borough and can hardly be
said to give the full amount of snow fall
for the reason that often much of the
snow would melt before it could be meas
ured, and test taken on the hills would
have given more accurate record.
There we're % zero mornings during the
winter, February lG being the coolest,

The Clarion Democrat speaks thus
encouragingly of the prospects for a
good oil development in the field near
Crown or Vowinckol, Clarion county:
There is considerable stir in the Crown
oil field, developments being pushed for
ward with more or less hustle. Wells are
now going down on the farms of Robt
Haggerty, Rachel McCloskey, j. L..
Tingley and Amos Eisenman, one well
on each farm. The operators in these
cases are the Crown OIL Co., Messrs.
| Walker IL Bruner, Mr.. McManus repre-
senting Bradford parties, and a company
of local citizens. The Crown field seems
to offer good inducements to operators
with pretty sure thing for return.
We hope to see larger development
there.

George Nellis, living near Stewarts
Run, met with dangerous accident
while driving down the hill on the oppo-
site side of the river last Friday morning.
His wife and baby were in the buggy
with him, and second buggy was hitched
on behind, thus making quite pressure
on the harness, part of which gave way
allowing the buggy to strike the horses
heels and he became unmanageable. Mrs.
Nelis was thrown out and badly bruised
but sustained no permanent injuries. In
her arms she held the baby, which mi
raculously escaped injury. Mr.. Nellis
was thrown with his chest against rock
and severely bruised, but at last accounts
was getting along all right. About a
month ago he cut his foot very badly with
an ak, and it was to have this injury
dressed that he was coming to town.
