Superintendent Morrison has all
things in readiness for the teachers an
nual institute at Marienville, beginning
on the 9Th of October. He has a good
corps of instructors on the program, and
his array of evening entertainers is rather
above the average, insuring the success
of the institute as an educational treat.

We are indebted to Walter s. Brown
of Punxsutawney for photograph Of

The chestnut crop which gave prom
ise of big yield some weeks ago, will
scarcely be worthy Of mention now. The
continuous dry weather has blighted the
buns as well as the hopes of the small boy
with good climbing proclivities, and
what few nuts come to maturity are
bound to be small and few in bur. 'Tis
too bad, for everybody likes a nice big
brown chestnut.
We have several places where young
ladies can earn their board and room by
working before and after school hours.
These places are very desirable and offer
the opportunity of a life time to those
who desire to secure commercial train
ing but are not able to pay both tuition
and cost OF living. viii be glad to have
interested parties communicate with us
at once. Meadville Commercial College,

Schaeffer has issued the annual proclama-
ton for autumn Arbor Day. In announc-
ing it he says: "To perpetuate the lauda-
BILE custom of celebrating Arbor Day
when all the schools are in session, Fri
day, Oct. %, 1908, is hereby designated as
autumn Arbor Day; and all connected
with the schools are urged to observe the
day by the planting OF trees and by other
suitable exercises"
Quarter session court convenes next
Monday, aud will be the first that has
been held in this county for almost
year. Besides a number of important
civil suits to be tried there are several
criminal cases to dispose OF, among the
number being a case of attempted uxor-
ocide, two of larceny, and some of lesser
grades of crime, and it is likely the courts
attention will be occupied the greater
portion of the week.
Fosters latest weather forecast says
Immediately following September 10
storm wave will be entering the Ohio
valley, with great cold wave following
it, carrying frost far southwark. That
will be the coldest part of September.
Corn, northern spring wheat and flax
that are not mature at that time will be
damaged. Some heavy rains will fall not
long after September 10. But here it is
Sept. 23d, hot and dry as ever.
The continued dry weather has re-
called some weather notes kept by Isaac
Gerhsrt, Telfords oldest resident. He
SAYS that in 1881 there was not one show
er, heavy enough to be of any benefit,
between June II and Dec. %. On Sept.
of the same year the thermometer stood
at ITO degrees in the shade at p. m.
July 30 of the same year was also very
hot day, when it was 1907 degrees. Hay
proved banner crop, but the late crops
were a complete failure jamestown

To make philadelphia Scrapple" boil
three or four pounds of fresh pork quite
fat until very tender; then take out the
meat, and season the water in which II
was boiled, and thicken it with yellow
corn meal, as thick as for hasty pudding,
and let it cook long time, to thoroughly
cook the meat. Chop the meat tolersbly
fine, season well, and add it to the mush.
When it is cooked, put it into square
bread tins to cool; when cold, cut in slices
and fry in spider until brown. 1t

The sutumnal equinox has passed
and yet there is no change in the wealth
or. 1t was hoped "when the sun crossed
the line" the occasion would bring rain,
as it almost invariably does, but all signs
fail, they say, in dry weather, and the
present state has proved no exception to
the rule. But, cheer up! The smoke
clouds are bound to roll by and dsperse,
and before we know it we'll be complain
ing about the wet and sloppy weather. A
few drops of rain did fall Monday even
ing between and 6 o'clock and the spec
tacle was grand one, though witnessed
only by those who happened to be out at
that moment. Cheer up!
