The glories of the autumn season are
now sin our midst" and to many this
is the pleasantest time Of the year. The
gorgeous tintings are every where appar-
ent, and the beautiful river hills sloping
back from the delightful old Allegheny
are showing their brightest purples, yell
lows, crimsons and green's, making
picture of autumnal splendor which no
artist could e'er hope to reproduce. Yet
with all this sublime grandeur there
comes just q wee touch Of the melancholy,
reminding one that there is but span
between our glorious summer and the
rigors of winter and the consequent busy
ment of the pesky gas meter.

Sunday morning while Mr.. and Mrs.
A. w. Stroup were driving out the Ty-
lersburg road to visit Mrs. WIN. Hepler,
sister of Mrs. s., they noticed that their
horse seemed skittish and uneasy while
passing certain place in the road be-
tween "gunnel hill" and Charley Wertz's
farm. They thought little of i at the
time, but on their return in the evening
when near the same locality, about four
miles from Tionesta, they espied large
black bear in the road ahead of them,
and it didn't seem in any hurry to get
away, but ambled off into the woods
when they passed, not four rods away.
Bruin was doubtless out on the first day
of the season to show his utter contempt
for the new law regulating his taking
off,"
III you would enjoy a rare treat you
will not fail to attend the illustrated lee
lures at the court house tonight and
Friday night. Col. Clifford, OF the Saliva
ton Army, has all his apparatus here for
giving a strictly first class exhibition of
moving pictures, and his audience may
expect a fine entertainment. The sub
ject for tonight is "Nine Thousand Miles
in Ninety Minutes" The REPUBLICAN
stated last week that the surplus revenue
| from these lectures would be devoted to
the Salvation Army. This was erro-
ueous, as Col. Clifford is giving the en-
tertainment under the auspices of the
committee in charge of the Presbyterian
church furnishing fund, to whose use the
proceeds above actual expenses will be
| devoted.
Donald, the three-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Shaw, of Kelettyille,
met death in a distressing manner on
Monday evening of this week. At the
supper table the child had gotten hold OF
some spoons and while the mother was
reaching to take the spoons her sleeve
caught and upset pot of hot tea, the
contents spilling on the child and scald-
ing ii so severely that it was thrown into
convulsions from which it suffered until
about midnight when death came to its
relief The lad was a bright little fellow,
the pet of the household, and the distress
ing accident has elected general and
heartfelt sympathy in the community for
the stricken parents. Funeral services
will be held to-day, the interment taking
place in the cemetery at Whig Hill.
William Cole, better known as bill, "
an eccentric character whose acquaintance
extends to hundred towns in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, passed through the city
last night on his way to Pleasantville
Bill is the fellow who tagged train on
the Chautauqua division near Graytown
a few years ago and asked the engineer
for a chew of tobacco. This affords some
idea of his character. Tuesday night he
rode into Townville on a slab-sided bay
gelding. A crowd collected and he gave
some equestrian stunts of doubtful merit
The horse was weary and looked so ap-
pealingly at the spectators that Bill was
prevailed upon to desist. In the nigh
some one cut the animals tail off. Yes
terday Bill sold his steed to a Townvillt
relic hunter for 80 cents. The money hi
used in paying street car fare between
TryonYille and Pleasantville, where hi
says he has friends. Bill's native intel
ligence is undoubtedly wanting; but h'
has gained enough in the school of ex
perience to carry him along. He ha'
been common tramp for thirty years.
