The Brackney Oil Co. shot a good
we'll Monday on their lease ON the G.
Leeper lands, mile east of Leeper, in
Clarion county. The well is showing up
for l5-barrel producer and would indi-
cate an extension of this territory, being
somewhat in advance OF the earlier de-
velopments. The oil is found in the third
sand at about 1000 feet. This company
has drilled twenty wells on It's lease, of
which thirteen are good producers,
Something in the nature ofa freak in
the growth os wood was left at j. G.
Scowden's place last week by Elmer Pat
terson, who has been timbering over on
Bates run the past season. 1t is piece
of birch sapling about inches in diame-
ter having good sized limb about five
feet long which has both its ends grown
into the trunk of the sapling completely
and symmetrically, making loop or
handle to the larger piece. 1t is quite
curiosity.
Because of the two mild cases of
smallpox in Oil City, there is talk of
establishing pest houses in the various
neighboring towns. II is always that
way. But the spasm will undoubtedly
recovor and no more will be heard about
the pest houses until, at some time in the
future, when another case is reported.
AS a matter of fact no concern is felt re-
garding the matter here. The two pa
tients have been isolated and all proper
precautions taken.-O City Blizzard.
The postmaster general has ruled
that mail matter intended for delivery on
the rural routes must have an address
other than simply the number ofthe box.
Another ruling is that all rural carriers
have the right of way on all country roads
and that all carriages and conveyances
must surrender that right of way to the
rural carriers. Attention is again called
to the fact that the return address on all
letters and on all valuable packages
should be written on the upper left-hand
corner without fail.
"A Meadville man who has made
gardening almost science has discover
ed new cabbage worm which he be-
lieyes is going to cause trouble. The old,
familiar cabbage worm is green, works
on the top of the leaf, and moves very
slowly. The new worm works on the
under side of the leaf. 1t is sort of yell
lowish caterpillar, such as is frequently
found on trees, and can when necessary
move quickly. This apparently new
cabbage pest will very quickly destroy
young plants, and can only be discovered
by looking for it on the under side of the
leaf.
-Tionesta is gaining new residents
rapidly as result of the starting of the
casket factory. The latest accessions are

new industry, who is moving into a rart

occupied by WalterStright and family.
II. L. Robertson. Machinist, has moved
into the old Wenk homestead. Arthur
w. Noble, general superintendent OF the
factory, and w. P. Dechant, the tailor,
have rented the Thomas brick house and
will move in shortly. Others will move
to Tionesta as soon as they can secure
domiciles.
The annual summer session of the

-Chautauquans have come to look with
confidence to the biennial visit of Mr..
Leland Powers. One of the leaders
among the we'll known readers in Amer
lea, he comes very close to being the
most popular who ever appears as Wis
itor at Chautauqua, New York. Mr..
Powers will deliver three readings, on
the evenings of August 8, 5, and I. The
first of his readings will be that most
popular comedy, "Twelfth Night;" the
