Many people from this vicinity who
have heretofore made the Hotel Boyer
their stopping place while in Pittsburg
will learn with regret of the death of Jere-
miah b. Boyer, which occurred at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Philip S,
Finn, on the 10Th inst. Until about a
year ago he had been proprietor of the
hotel since 1877, and his geniaity won for
him host of friends throughout the
northwestern section of Pennsylvania.
Hon. Peter Berry, the we'll known
resident of Plumer, has been doing ex-
tensiv building at his fine farm house in
that hamlet during the summer, making
improvements for the comfort and pro-
lection of his live stock and the care OF
the products of the farm. These i'm
proyements include a fine bank barn,
42x4S. with a slate roof, and modern up
to-date pig sty and cow stable combined;
also tool house and grainery. Derrick.
-Autumnal tints are showing on the
hillsdes and soon the river hills will be
resplendent in glorious hues, presenting
a picture of beauteous gran deur which no
artist has ever been able to put on canyas.
OF all the good old summer times" there
is none 10 compare with the gorgeous
autumn time-provided you don't get it
associated with those measly melancholy
days you've heard about, "the ssddest of
the year, when its little too hot for
whiskey and a little too cool for beer"
Apparently the long drouth has been
broken by the ushering in of the autumn
nal equinox, which was trifle late in
ARRIVING this fall, but which never fails
entirely. Since Friday night the weather
has been of the wet order, and sufficient
rain has fallen in the meantime to put
more or less water into the springs and
small streams, which had about dried up.
Pastures will be greatly benefited by the
rains, and the flow of milk, if not of
honey, in the land will be materially aug
mented.
An experienced teacher says that
pupils who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared with those who do
not, are better readers, better grammar
ians, better spoilers, better punctuators,
and read more understandingly and OBJ
tain practical knowledge of geography
in almost half the time it requires others.
"The newspaper is decidedly an impor-
tant factor in modern life," she said.
"Ths will not be disputed by any who
have taken the trouble to investigate the
matter"
After day spent on the buxom
bosom of the beautiful old Allegheny, in
au endeavor to tempt the wary to take
bite" Editor Bowen of the Oil City Biz
zard has come to this sane conclusion;
Fish always bite better after there have
been a few frosts. This is because the
cold destroys the flies and bugs, creating
a shortage in their food supply aud con-
sequent increase in the cost of living.
Fish like men, must hustle, when the
provender is scarce, and when they go
after the bait they have TO take more
chances"

The Free Methodist conference ofthis
district will begin its annual session at
Bradford today, Wednesday. Rev. Il. l..
Monroe, who has so acceptably filed the
pulpits of this charge for the past three
years, does not expect to return, having
completed the limit of his appointment.
His departure will be regretted not only
by his congregations, but by all our peo-
pie as well, as he has greatly endeared
himself to them. Mr.. Monroe's psstorate
on this circuit has been rather strenuous
one as the following data will show:
During the three years be has travelled
over 5000 miles each year, or total OF
1900 in his pastoral work. He preached
222 sermons the first year, the same num-
ber the second year, and the last year 1872.
His pastoral calls totaled 800, as follows:
1858 the first year, 1922 the second, and
1925 the last year, The worthy pastor has
been blessed with good health and
strength to do all this work for which he
doubtless feels duly thankful. The cir
cult delegate to the Bradford conference
from this circuit will be John Brewster,
of Newmansville.
