very good article, but still enough to
make wooden-shod sleds run easier than
wheels. We had zero weather on Friday
morning, the lst day of December.
Our friend John Brennan, of May
burg, sends us his picture, which is a
good likeness of himself, and informs us
that he has purchased photo gallery at
Kellettville, and will begin operations
there next April. John is an up-to-date
photographer, and we trust he will do a
thriving business in his line when spring
opens up,

and Beaver townships. this county, are
distinctly heard and some claim felt here,
distance of six miles from the opera
tions.-Clarion Democrat. These explo-
sions are plainly heard here, also, and
| the distance must be at least 20 miles, "as
the crow flies"
H. II. Stanley, of Tylersburg, was
greeting his friends in Clarion last Mon
day. Herb, having been supervisor in
Pennington township for so many years,
is an enthusiastic supporter of the new
road to be constructed under the stale
authority from Tylersburg to Leeper.
He thinks every township ought to ap-
| ply for their portion of the state appro-
priation and thus help along the good
roads.-Clarion Democrat.
The union Thanksgiving services in
the Presbyterian church last Thursday
morning brought out good sized and
representative congregation. The SER
| mon by Rev. X. A. Zahnser was an ex-
cellent one, showing the many things we
have TO be thankful for. An Offering was
taken for the relief of the needy poor of
the community and a committee was
appointed to take charge of the fund, con-
sisting Of Messrs. A. b. Kelly, f. X.
Lanson, and j. q. Bowman.
Grant Shuster the horse dealer, re-
turned TO his home at Freeport on Satur-
day last after two weeks stay in
Brookville. While here he disposed of
thirteen head of horses. He has about
| sixty head of fine draft horses on his
farm near Freeport that will commend
themselves to anyone desiring heavy
draft horses. - Brookville Democrat.
Many Forest county people have dealt
with Mr.. Shuster and always found the

Sheriff Geo. w. Noblit and j. w.
Jameson started Monday evening with
Edward Reymon, who is under five
year sentence. for the Western peniten-
tiary at Allegheny. The prisoner seems
to be a typical hobo, but has no doubt
seen better days, as we are informed by
the Sheriff that he could both speak and
read the English, German and French
languages. Sheriff Noblit will probably
extend his trip for few days, expecting
to go TO Wheeling, W. Va, on business.
"A peculiar specimen OF the deer fam
lily was killed by the Robert Mann hunt
ing party out in the Scootac region last
week. 1t was doe with a nice pair of
four-pronged antlers. When running in
supposed was buck and a fawn togeth-
er, a somewhat uncommon occurrence at
this season of the year. What they sup
posed was buck was shot, but when
they got to it it proved to be doe with
horns. This is rare malformation of the
kind in the deer family. - Bellefonte
Watchman.
considerable excitement was created
among gang of men from here, who
were sent TO the historical site of Pithole
on Saturday by the National Transit
company to lay an oil line. About eight
inches under the surface of the ground
they uncovered a complete upper set of
teeth and concluded that they were about
to unearth a murder mystery and the
SIX eleton of murdered man. Extensive
work with pick and shovel failed to un-
cover any further portions of human
anatomy and the teeth were brought here
where the workmen learned that they
were false.-D Derrick.
The A. w. Cook lumber railroad
which runs out of Brookville and through
the county In the direction of Sheffield, is
being thoroughly overhauled, and it is
stated that it will be put in frst-class
shape for traffic and may possibly be
built on through to Sheffield where it
would connect with the Philadelphia &
Erie. This stretch of track was orig-
nally built by the Pennsylvania railroad
and they are the ones that are rehabili-
tating the line. This line is run through
fairly good country, coming within
two miles of the Hagerty oil field, and
would be of great importance to Brook
Vile should 1t be built on through to
Sheffield. Bois Dxpress.
