quantities of seed corn were matured,
and farmers OF Pennsy lvanis should lose
no time in securing their seed com for
the coming year.

One week from this day the trouting
season opens, and not one day sooner,
but we venture to say if one we're to
stroll along some of the streams now he
could pick up bundle of water-beech
poles in a miles travel besides other evil
dences of the "pot- -fisherman's" presence
before the season is fairly on. Twas
ever thus.
Those who contend that the world is
growing better are reminded that as long
ago as % years the Oil City Blizzard pub
lished this item: "Trout season opened
and one disciple of Izsk Walton reported
the capture of beauty weighing three
and half pounds" Does any one think
for a minute the Blizzard wouldn't per-
petrate the same sort of fish story now.

- uOIllhS SOWdu anu sOhg VI y
burg, are among the newest acquisitions
to Tionestas citizenship. They haye
rented the Agnew building, lately occu-
pied by the Adams meat market, and are
conducting an up-to-date harness and
shoe-shop. Mr.. Cowan, the younger, is
practical harness maker, having had sew
eral years experience at the business,
and is prepared to do all work in that
line, and what Thomas doesn't know
about the shoemsking business isn't
worth mentioning. They ask your pat
ronage.
-Four Hungarian natives were arrest
ed at Oil City Monday and fined S25 each
for Sunday fishing. Two paid the fines
and the other two will go to Jail if they
don't settle. From this it would seem
that the regular Sunday pastime of the
| Oil City denizens is to be cut out this
season, as the fish warden has declared
his intention to enforce the law hereafter.
If this is done the Pennsy might about as
well pul off the "fish train" usually put
on for the summer Sunday traffic. Twill
be body blow to the Sunday recreators
also.

Mrs. Kidder was woman of noble traits
of character greatly esteemed and re-
spected by all who knew her, and her
death is sadly mourned by very large
circle OF friends. She was aged 81 years.
The supreme court of the State has
refused to grant the petition of the attor-
neys for James Strait asking for new
trial, and it is altogether probable that he
will haye to hang for the murder of his
wife. The board of pardons haying re-
fused to interfere in the sentence of Mike
Holka, who killed policeman Meehan of
Franklin, the two men will probably be
hanged together. Governor Stuart has
not set the date for their execution but is
expected to do so at an early day, and it
is the desire of Judge Criswell that the
Governor name the same date for both
executions so as to have it all over with
