Farmer John Passauer, of Tionesta
township, raised fine new barn on his
farm last Thursday, which event was at
tended by large number of his neigh
bors and friends. The frame went up
without mishap and an old fashioned
good time was enjoyed by all after the
work was over. A splendid dinner was
served by Mrs. Passauer, and as is usual
on such occasions, the feast was greatly
relished by the men whose appetites had
been we'll whetted up by the busy work
and hard lifting.

"A disease among horses that is new
to this part of the country has recently
appeared in several counties of western
Pennsylvania, and is engaging the atten-
ton of veterinarians and members of the
state live stock sanitary board. The latter
give to the disease the name f"epizootic
lymphsngitis," thongh some call 1t
African farcy. 1t is dangerous disease,
and like glsnders, is highly contagious
and is usually fatal. 1t resembles farcy
in its visible manifestations, is usually
characterized by nodules about the size OF
marble, following the course of the
lymphatics, inside the hind leg, and in
some cases extending to the crural mus
cles on the outer aspect of the thigh.
These nodules frequently suppurate, dis
charging light colored pus. In some
cases, flattish ulcers form about the size of
a dime; and in some cases the front limbs
are implicated.
The Forest Barge Co. encountered
good deal of bad luck in the running of
their barges last week. Some distance
below Franklin, where considerable
blasting has been going on during the
summer in the construction of new
railroad, large boulder had been blown
into the channel, and on this rock two
barges were badly damaged, one of the
big craft being almost ruined, and anoth-
so badly stoYe in at the bottom that 1t
sank in about five feet OF water. 1t will
require considerable time and expense to
raise and float this barge, and this, with
the damage to others, will run up the ex-
pense account to pretty nearly the price
of one of the barges which is in the neigh
borhood of 81 700. Wind interleres ma
terally in the running of these big boats
during the daytime, so that much of the
running has to be done after night when
the weather is calm.
Ethel A. Hoovler, aged s years,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. f. III. HooYler
of No. 800 West Spring street, died at 9
o'clock Friday morning, after short i'll
ness with cerebro-spinal meningitis.
Several physicians saw the little girl dur
ing the progress of the disease, but were
unable to do anything for her. The dis
ease was not diagnosed as meningitis un-
til day or two ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoovler moved here from Tionesta year
ago with their two daughters, Edith, ii
years, and Ethel. The child was intelli-
gent and lovable, having made many
friends in school and in the community.
Her death brings to the father and mother
the sympathy of the whole community
