Fred. Rudolph, who has a job of
stocking for Wheeler Il Dusenbury, on
Ross Run. had the misfortune of losing a
good team horse, valued at 5000, by death,
Tuesday of last week. Fred. was hero
Thursday and purchased horse from
Ed Harmon, of Lickingville, to replace
the dead animal. The new horse was a
fine sorrel, weighing l,525 pounds, and
attracted much attention while stabbed at
the Hepler livery barn.
The home of Rev. j. n. Fraden burgh
at Union City, retired minister of the
M. Il. church, who is we'll known in this
vicinity, was destroyed by fire last
Thursday night. The fire started near
the kitchen, of unknown origin, and it
was with difficulty that the minister's s
fine library, said to be one of the best
collections in the State, was saved. Most
of the household goods were also saved.
Loss was So 900, insurance SO 500.
We have received with the compli.
ments of Congressman N. p. Wheeler a
large amount of vegetable seeds from the
U. s. department of agriculture. The
collection embraces corn, lettuce, pars-
nip, radish and turnip, just the kind you
need for your gardens in this section of
the country. They will be distributed
free to all who care to call for them. With
the present state of the weather it may
seem like rubbing it in" to be talk ing of
garden seeds and such, but summer will
be on you before you know 1t.
The contract for Venango county's
new Jail was let on Tuesday of last week
to the Stewart Jail Works company of
Cincinnati. Their bid was S35, 495, nearly
81, 900 lower than the lowest bid of nine
other contracting firms. Charles & Bal
ley, the firm of Oil City architects, who
drew the specifications, made an estimate
that the Jail could not be built for a sum
much less than $4,000. The difference is
an agreeable surprise to the county obi
cials, as we'll as the taxpayers. The work
is TO be started as soon as the weather
will permit.
For decade of years there has been
on the part of young men movement
away from the farm going into the cities
aud towns, and finding employment with
manufacturing concerns and business
houses. We don't think many of them
have saved much money, but their course
has aided greatly in bringing on our pres
ent high prices. They may have got a
little higher wages than they would have
made on the farm, but those of us who
stuck to our bush are now compelled 10
pay exorbitant prices for living. Brook

General Charles Miller of Franklin,
has filed petition for divorce against his
wife, Emma A. Miller, alleging cruel and
barbarous treatment. They were married

fuses to live in Franklin, and General
Miller having all his business interests
centered there, finds it impractical to
leave Franklin. Mrs. Miller was for
merly the wife of A. d. Bulen, a piano
tuner of Meadville, who divorced her for
desertion in the courts of Crawford coun-
ty at Meadville. The subpoena is made
returnable the fourth Monday in April.

"A heavy snow storm last Thursday
night gave US about eight inches more of
sleighing, making nearly two feet on the
leyel and travelling mighty hard. The
depth of the snow has been reduced very
materially by the heavy rains on Monday
and Tuesday. Conditions were right for
big breakup, but sudden cold snap
and saved the sleighing. Sunday morn
ing the mercury dropped to nearly 50
below zero and our citizens awoke to a
condition of nature not often seen even in
this country of sudden changes. The
