-"Lest we might forget" the snow
storms of the past few days have come to
remind us that the weather man could
still make it snow" when he felt so in
clined, and to serve notice that self-ap-
pointed weather prophets must keep in
bounds and not get too "kerflip" with
their representations. Likewise giving
the 81 told you 50" guy an inning. We'd
all rather see it now than in June, any
way.
The Epworth League of West Hick-
ory, Pa, will hold an Easter bazaar, at

IF the Governor approves bill which
is now in his hands the District Attorney
of Forest county will in future receiye
$iOO per annum for his services. The act
grades the salaries according to popula-
tion of county, and abolishes all fees.
This will be quite raise for Forest
county's district attorney, whose fees
have often heretofore amounted to little
above $50 year, and sometimes been
as low as $25.
Carrie, tho little 5-year-old daughter
OF Bert Wiles, who lives near the Lanson
Touring mill, was severely burned about
the limbs last Thursday. She was play
ing about the yard where some rubbish
was being burned when her clothing
caught fire, and before she could be res
cued was severely burned, but is recov
ering nicely. Her mother was consider
ably burned about the arms in her ef-
forts to extinguish the flames.
The offices of the Penn Tanning Com
pany, now located at Sheffield, are to be
moved to Ridgway about the first OF May,
where all the business of operating the
tanneri es controlled by this company
will in future be transacted. The remov-
al from She of this large concerns
offices will be quite keenly felt by the
business interests of the place, yet there
will be other interests to take the place
and the loss will doubtless soon be made
good.
Tho Monarch Clothing Co., of Oil
City, who have always had an immense
clothing trade, have recently added new
department for ladies. At present they
are having great sale in ladies covert
coats aud skirts and waists. They have
four ladies constantly Kept busy in this |
department and the general opinion of
the public is that they are selling goods
less than city prices. A visit to their de- |
partment is treat to those seeking good |
city values. 1t
When fellow takes off his coat and |
goes after the onion patch, radish bed,
and spades them up aud 'rakes them down
aud sows the seed, and mops his brow as
his mouth waters at the prospect of the |
crop, and then comes home in the eve
ming and finds that his neighbours chick
ems have made the whole business look |
like the dickens ard scattered the seeds
to the four winds he feels like sending his |
wife around to tell the neighhors what TO
do with the pesky fowls.-Ex.
The Ridgway Advocate says of Capt.
Jack Austin, the popular postmaster at
Cory, Pa, that he is a goodhearted,
liberal gentleman, but he knows when to
put limit on things that should not go
too far. For instance, we find the fol-
lowing in the Cory Journals: 1.-The girls
of Cory are only allowed TO loiter in the |
post Office Tor one half hour after re-
ceving their mail. If they do not sue
ceed in catching beau by that time they
are requested to try the streets"
The act passed by the recent legisla-
ture fixing the salaries of County Com
mssioners has been signed by Governor
Pennypacker, and is now law. The
salaries range according to population.
In counties under 10000 population the
pay is $500 per year; over 10000 and un-
der 10000, the salary is $500; over 10000
and under 3s 900, it is 500, and so on.
This will have the effect to stop much of
the talk that is heard nowadays about
expense bills in the offices of county
commissioners.
"A bullet has been removed from the
end of the great toe of the left foot of
Charles Fisler, of Harrisburg, % years
old, railroader, who had been shot in
the right arm ten years ago by negro
boy. Flsler went to the hospital at Har-
risburg, Thursday afternoon, complain
ing of an itchy feeling in his right arm,
which he thought came from being shot
there many years ago. Surgeons made a
search of the right arm, and
found the bullet lodged in the
end of the great toe of his left foot. 1t is
thought the bullet Travelled through the
mans entire body.
The imposing of a fine 500, on the
Oil City man found guilty of dynamiting
fish in the Allegheny river, may serve a
good purpose in discorraging this con-
practice. The indiscriminate
killing of big and little fish, by the use
of explosives, is most reprehensible, and
