NeighbOrhOOd Notes.

Joshua Davis, president of the Kane
Banking and Trust company and one of
the foremost citizens of the town, is dead
at that place.
Warren councilmeu are considering the
problem of purchasing the water plant at
that place. The company owning the
plant has been asked to fix a price, and
also interrogated as to the terms on which
the purchase price may be paid.
Lawrence Fleming, of Shamburg,
where he is employed as a tool dresser, is
in the Titusville hospital suffering from
badly smashed leg in which both bones
are broken. Thursday afternoon last he
was lowering a barrel of cider into the
cellar when the cask got away and rolled
on him.
A trained nurse employed by family
in Easton was followed into the house the
other night by a big negro. Instead of
fainting or screaming she took big knife
from the kitchen and chased the colored
gentleman couple of blocks. These
shorter methods with rogues are becom-
ing quite popular.
Proceedings have been started to oust
the mayor of Erie. The charge against
him is violation of the corrupt practices
act. 1t is alleged that he promiscuously
treated the voters to liquor and cigars
without including them in his sworn
election expense account. Other candi-
dates better take notice.
The postoffice department has advised
Postmaster Morgan of Franklin, that un-
less the roads of the country are repaired
soon, the rural free delivery service oyer
them will be suspended and perhaps dis
continued. AS an agency for securing
good roads the postotfice department is
second to none for effectiveness.
A hunter came to town over the S. & T.
Wednesday to have his hand dressed by
physician. He had the hand, which
was enclosed in a wooden mtten, over
the muzzle of Savage rifle when it was
accidentally fired off. The injury to the
hand was slight, but the mitten was badly
used up. We did not learn the name of
this lucky hunter. Sheffield Observer.
j. o. Winger, young man of Grand
Valley, had a wonderful escape from
death in Tidioute early Thanksgiving
morning. He was returning home from
dance in Tidioute, driving team at
tached to light buggy over the crossing
near the Tidioute passenger station, when
his buggy was struck by a southbound
p. r. freight train. The buggy was
smashed and the man thrown for some
distance, but he escaped with nothing
more serious than bruises. The team
was unhurt and, liberated by the smash
ing OF the buggy, ran away.
On Friday Norman Cross, ofParthenia,
Warren county, killed fine buck, at
Dunn's Eddy, on the Allegheny river. 1t
was the largest seen in that part of the
country in recent years, having nine
prongs and weighing over 200 pounds.
Young Cross is II years of age. He used
but one bullet in killing his game, that
one going directly through the heart.
This is his second deer, he having estab-
lished record by getting one last year.
Under the circumstances it would appear
that Mr.. Cross should issue an invitation
to President Roosevelt, inasmuch as there
are bear as we'll as deer in those parts.-

The Correspondence Study
Work

The work of the University Exteu-
sion is making itself felt throughout
the country, and the Locomotive and
Engineman's Magazine, of IndianapO-
lis, has some good words on the sub
ject in it's April issue. ga most COM
mendable rule" it says, ''has existed
in the Wisconsin University for some
time, which provides that any person
over twenty-one years of age will be
admitted without an entrance exami-
nation free to pursue such studies as
he may profitably follow.
Gin establishing correspondence
school, however, it has gone step
further and provided for the transmits
sion of education to those at their
homes who cannot go to the university
to receive it, thus demonstrating how
valuable to the people state univer-
sity can be made to be. The organiza-
tiOn of this work was commenced last
fall and was prompted by the belief
that a great university supported by
general taxation should seek to be of
service TO all citizens"
After calling attention to the work
offered in the mechanical engineering
line, comprising various groups, such
as the machine design group, the loco
motive group, and others, the article
continues: ''These courses are de-
signed for artisans and others en-
gagged in mechanical occupations who
are ambitious to advance themselves.
While the work is of superior char
acter. 1t is made very simple and
plain, so that those who have had
meager educational opportunities can
readily follow it. It is intended for
practical workers and no preliminary
requirements are demanded other than
the ability to read English and use
figures. All the rest is supplied in
the courses of instruction"
In conclusion the writer says:
There are at present pending in the
Wisconsin legislature several bills
seeking further to support and encour-
age this work, and to make the cours-
es still cheaper to residents of the
State. 1t is to be hoped ere long, that
this department of the Wisconsin, uni
versity will be supported enUirely by
general taxation and that the univer-
stiles of all other states will soon
begin to emulate the noble example
set by that of Wisconsin, and place
within the reach of all their citizens
an opportunity to attain success COM
mensurate with their intellectual cap
abilities, regardless of what their cir
cumstances in life may be-
The article is a thoughtful and earn
est presentation of great subject.
and it is hoped this new departure in
the policy of a great university may
have behind it the support of public
opinion and encouragement.

having dropped out, they played goob
