recently been entered at that place and
articles taken from hall racks and upper
rooms while the family were at meals.

In the election table published In the
REPUBLICAN last week, an error crept
into the footing of the figures covering the
vote for Mr.. Hunt, the Democratic can
didate for Assembly. His total vote in
the county was 5l3, and not 573 as it ap-
peared in the table. The error occurred
in transcribing the figures from the OFF,
cial count. This leaves Mr.. Mechling's q
plurality 454. Those who are preserving
the table should make a note of this cor
rection.

The snow of last Friday aud Sstur-
day came just in time TO afford good
Cracking" for deer, the season for which
noble game opened on Sunday. No kills
have been reported in this vicinity up to
the minute of going to press, but it is
claimed one party up near Magee sta
tion, above Tidioute, saw two flocks, one
of seven and another of six, thirteen in
all, but got none of them, the unlucky
number being hoodoo, no doubt. The
season lasts but fifteen days. but with a
good tracking snow that is long enough
to create sad havoc among the deer.
Some of our exchanges are saying
that the price of turkeys is not going to
be so high this season, giving as a reason
that the dry weather of the past season
has been favorable to the raising of the
birds. But we don't believe the theory
is worth much, when as matter of fact
we have seen, within less than a week,
turkeys weighing eight to ten pounds on
foot selling for three dollars and upward.
That's a little too rich for the average
country printer, we're thinking. It's
downright prohibitive, in fact and we're
in favor of taking the tariff off of 'em, il
that'll do any good.
The telephone is becoming pernici-
ously active in aiding and abetting
criminals in their nefarious undertake
ing At Erie a robber sent fake mes
sage to a meat market, asking the man in
charge to request a clerk, in grocery
across the way, to step over to the market
and take an order. While the clerk was
"taking the order" the thief was taking
the contents of the grocery till. In diff
ferent localities, before making raids,
crooks have telephoned residences and
learned from domestics that the residents
we're away from home. Such methods
are about on par with telephoning false
news items to spaper.-Blizzard.
