j. r. Alt, of Tylersburg, was busi-
ness visitor in Tionesta Monday and
made the REPUBLICAN pleasant call
while here. He reports the fever patients
in his community getting along nicely
with the exception OF one, who is still in
a critical condition. There are no new
cases, and the people are hoping that the
epidemic has run its course.
"A clergyman preached a ra ther ex
haustive sermon from the text: "Thou
art weighed in the balance and found
wanting" After the congregation had
listened about an hour some began to get
weary and went out; others followed,
greatly to the annoyance of the minister.
Soon another person started, whereupon
the preacher stopped his sermon and
said; "Tbat's right, gentlemen; as fast
as you are weighed pass out"
"A lady reader gives us the following
recipe for preserving sweet corn, which
produces an article superior TO both the
canned and dried product: Boil corn on
ear till milk sets, cut from cob and mix
thoroughly with salt at the rate of one
pint of salt TO four of corn; pack in jar and
cover with cloth and plate. Salt should
be soaked out before cooking. Corn pre-
served In this way keeps its flavor re-
markably we'll and is also tender.-Ex.
lone of our exchanges says: 1t may
sound trifle startling, but 1t is said to be
true, that more young men are learning
trades in the penitentiaries than out OF
them, because parents are trying to make
clerks, doctors, lawyers and even preach
ers out of materials intended for carpen-
ters, blacksmiths and other trades. The
trouble is, boys are eager to avoid the
labor of life, and too anxious to follow
some calling that does not soil their hands

tributors to Chautauqua work illappear

The undaunted George Jennings and
his faithful mare, known this whole coun-
try over as Clark" was in town few
hours on Sunday. George, who claims he
was unjustly incarcersted in the Tionesta
jail, had good word to say for Mrs.
Stroup, wife of the Sheriff. He says she
is splendid cook. He reports fairly
pleasant time while at the county bastile
but seems very thankful for his release.
He will, no doubt, give that end of the
county the go-by in the future.-Marien-

body of Sylvester Eakin, of Plneville,
near Pleasantville, was found on the road

Two enormous rattlesnakes were
killed at the famous Wolfden haunt OF
these reptiles at President on Sunday by
G.. A. Boyer. One measured four feet six
inches and the second five feet. AS the
snakes were found within a yard or two
of each other and were so nearly of one
length it is supposed that they were
mates. Mr.. Boyer also has the distinc
tion of killing biacksnake in that same
township this summer that measured
seven feet six inches. This monster had
its attention all upon devouring some
young birds in nest in tree when 6
blow on its back foot or two above the
tail broke the vertebrs and made COM
