and very early settler in that part o!
Clarion county, Pa, died on the 9th inst,
from tho infirmties of old age, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. John Young,
at Aiken, Pa, aged about So years. The

gelical church and the interment took
place at the Dehner cemetery, near his
late home, on the 9Th. He is survived by
five sons, John, Fred, Edward, Daniel
end Joseph, and three daughters, Mrs.

-Myrl Kifier, aged II years, died at
Mayburg on Sunday evening of diph
liberia, and was buried in the cemetery at
Whig II II on Monday. This is the case
reported in the REPUBLICAN last week,
on account of which the schools at May
burg we're closed. Another case has de-
veloped in the family of John Fitzgerald,
his son, Carl, being the victim, but the
lad is not expected to develope a serious
attack, and the home has been quaran-
tined. In fact all the children in the
village are quarantined, not being per-
United to leave their homes while there
are any cases in the town. A wise pre-
caution.
AT Washington, d. c., Friday Henry
Oliver Brown, native Of Warren coun-
ty, Pa, was married to Eugene Adams,
German girl who had advertised for a
husband. Mrs. Brown, who is "a years
of age, had been left considerable for
tune by her uncle provided she would be
married this week. She advertised for a
husband, offering 5000 bonus and seps-
ration at the altar to the acceptable man
and after looking over 100 aspiraDts, chose
Brown, whose chief attraction seems to
have been a sweeping brown mustache, a
States artillery and immediate need of
the money.
This is the greatest potato year on
record in Pennsylvania, according to
officials of the State Department of Agri-
culture. Never before has the yield of
this necessary tuber approached the ex-
cellent crop of this year. The best yield
reported is on the farm of Warren Fertz,
of Bedminister, Bucks county, where 700
bushels of potatoes were taken from a
patch of two and one-half acres. Nothing
like this has ever before been reported
from Pennsylvania farm. The potato
crop, generally speaking, is better in
western Pennsylvania than it is east of
the A Alleghenies. The corn crop through
out the state is also good.
The men engaged in taking up the
tile supply line of the water company,
which is being replaced by six.inch iron
pipe they encountered curiosity which
battles explanation. About half mile
below the intake at Tubbs run, when
joint of 4 inch iron pipe was taken up,
imagine the mems surprise when brook
trout, fully nine inches in length, popped
out, Hopping vigorously to get back into
his native heath. AS the intake at the
dam is double screened with wire the
meshes of which are no larger than half
inch, the question is, how did the trout
get into the pipe? The only reasonable
solution that presents itself is that the
speckled fellow got through when he was
yet little cuss, and grew to illegal size"
while confined in this narrow space.
Next to a mans family AID business
nothing should stand nearer to a mans
heart than the community in which he
lives, says an exchange. 1t is home. 1t
is the place in which he earns his COM
petence and educstes his children. II he
wants to make it as popular, as thrifty
and widely known as possible, he cannot
afford to be indifferent to anything that
will further these ends. 1t can be said
that town which is not worthy of the
devotion of its citizons in making it wide.
ly and generally prosperous is the town
in which it is not worth while to live at
all, Ifa town is anything, it is worthy OF
our greatest energy, whether we receive
an immediate dividend in dollars and
cents or whether we merely take our
share of the common benefit accorded our
home town.
