Ritihdav surntise Party.

Saturday, October 2lst, there was a
birthday surprise party pulled OIL at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. d. F..
Stanford near Sandy Valley, Pa The
day was intended for Mr.. Stanford's
sixty-fifth birthday. The morning was
chilly and Mr.. Stanford was sitting near
warm stove, mentally dreading ap-
preaching winter, when friends and
neighbors from far aud near began as
Sc milling. The thought OF a birthday
party had not dawned upon him, but
when Liveryman E. G. Burns big rig
droye into the yard filed with people,
he began to wonder what IL all meant,
and he called confidential friend to
one side and inquired OF him what 1t
meant. He was informed that his
birthday was Nov. 90, but on account OF
that date being so late in the fall, and
would probably be rough weather, that
his friends had decided to give him u
birthday surprise party October 2lst,
When dinner hour came the contents OF
we'll filed baskets were set on a long
table and the table was then surrounded
by those present, Grace was said by
the venerable Robert Stevenson and all
partook of hearty meal.
Mr.. Stanford was the recipient OF
many useful and valuable presents.
Lawyer Daniel Brennan, OF Brookville,
made the presentation speech. Among
the presents, too numerous to mention,
was an envelope containing hand
some sum of money. Mr.. Brennan,
in his discourse, congratulated Mrs.
Stanford on her surrounding and
said "You are certainly a happy
woman" To Mr.. Stanford he said:
81 am an old man and in all my
life have never seen step-father ac-
corded the honor of children, without
one exception, that is accorded to you.
You are certainly happy man"
Mr.. Stanford accepted the tokens of
friendship in a few well spoken remarks
and thanked the donors for their friend
ship, &c. AS the day was drawing to a
close the guests departed in groups,
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Stanford many
happy returns Of the day just past,
Mr.. Stanford is hale and strong for a
man of his age, and his good wife, a
little his senior, is well preserved.

H. nds Badly Burned.

w. S. Christy, proprietor of the Star
Dairy, had both hands badly burned last
Wednesday noon in saving his house
from being destroyed by fire. Mr..
Christy's three and half year old son
had been sent up stairs to bed after din
ner and after he got in bed one of his
brothers made some noise in the yard
which attracted the little fellow and he
got up to look out OF the window. He
found some matches on the bureau and
he ignited one and set the window cur
tain on fire. The boy in the yard saw
the blaze and gave the alarm. Mr..
Christy ran up stairs and threw the
burning curtains out OF window, but not
before the wall and ceiling were on fire.

DWELLING HOUSE BURNED.
John Griffith had to Jump Out of Second
Story Window to Save His Life.

About one o'clock Saturday night the
dwelling house of John Griffith, on
Fifth street, with all its contents, was
destroyed by fire. Mr.. Griffith was
sleeping in the house alone, his wife
and daughter being out of town, and
when he was awakened by neighbors
the fire had gained such headway that
he had to jump out of the second story
window to save his life. The household
goods and most all the clothing OF the
family was burned. The fire started
between the ceiling and second floor,
near the chimney, presumably from a
defective ilue. 1t was frame house,
mostly pine, and burned very rapidly.
Mr. Griffith carried 100000 insurance,
but he says that is away below his loss.

Clearfield and Franklin Railroad.

Some newspapers are predicting that
the Franklin & Clear field branch OF the
Lake Shore railroad will only be built
between Franklin and Brookville and
that the P. r. r. track will be used
from Brookvile to Hopkins, r. & F. G.
track from Hopkins to Falls Creek and
B., r. g. P. track from Falls Creek to
Clearfeld where connections will be
made with the Beech Creek. We don't
believe the P. r. r. track will be used
between Hopkins and Brookville but
do think the new railroad will be built
to connect with the r. & F. G. near
Hopkins. II the P. r. r. track is to be
used between Brookville and. Hopkins
there will have to be considerable ,
change made in the grade OF the
Franklin & Clesrfield at Brookville from
what it is now, as grade is away above
the P. r. r. at that point. The new
road will cross the p. r. r. three times
between Brookville and Hopkins II
