"A barn in the rear of the property of
j. L. Brennan was destroyed by ire last
night about 10 o'clock. The fire origi-
mated from sparks from a fire started by
children who were enjoying corn roast.
1t was with difficulty that pony in the
barn was rescued. In the building was a
Mrs. j. N. Davies and this was total
loss. The loss is estimated at 81, 900 part
tally covered by insurance. The fire
gained great headway before any water
could be secured, as the water company
was opening the line on East street and
had the water shut off.-Warren Times,

Agent W. G. Incl of the Adams Ex-
press Co. received two focks of homing
pigeons from Rochester, n. Y, during
the past week, which were released here
for the flight home. The first, a flock of
thirty, were from V. w. Welker and were
released at ll;l0 a. m. Friday and took a
course up Hunter run. The second, a
flock of sixty, were from f. G. Thon and
were liberated at 9:O6 a. IN. Sunday, TAX
ing straight course up the river. No
word has been received as to the time of
their arrival home. 1t is an interesting
sight to see the unerring instinct of these
birds as they strike out for home on being
liberated.
Quite transformation has been 60
ing on in the interior of the Hotel Weaver
within the past couple of weeks. The
front windows have been replaced by
larger and more modern pattern, lending
more light and cheer to the office and
dining room, while the hall and sitting
room have been so changed as to render
them much more comfortable and con-
venient The reception hall is ample,
and the new sitting room is considerably
enlarged and greatly enhanced In beauty,
cheerfulness and comfort. In fact one
hardly recognizes the new hostelry on
first entering, so complete has been the
transformation.
"A petition of 900 signatures has been
presented to the Franklin council asking
for curfew ordinance, whereupon the
Titusville Courier remarks that "Titus-
vile has curfew bell that rings at S:45
o'clock every night, and it comes very
handy for housekeepers to set their clocks
by. Otherwise the bell has for a couple
of years been of little use." Tionesta
likewise has an ordinance of this sort
which has been practically obsolete for
the past year or two the bell having fall
en- into innocuous desuetude. The ordi-
nance was all right when thoroughly en-
forced, but without that it is a farce.
Possibly, however, our young folk are
growing better, and don't need curfewing.
