Year Of the Big Frost.

Many of the older residents of this Sec
tion will remember the killing frost Of
June 8, 1859, just So years ago Monday
says the Oil City Blizzard. On the morn
ing of that date, when the people of west
ern Pennsylvania and New York awoke,
they found this section had been visited
by very heavy, killing frost. In all the
country round not green leaf nor q
vestige of vegetation was left to tell the
story of the havoc wrought. The gloom
of the people throughout this region, be-
cause of the great harm done to the crops
by the untimely visitation. will also be
recalled by the older ones. Wheat, rye
and corn, especially the latter, were
lsrgely and in many cases totally cut OFF
or course there was some replanting ol
corn, and much sowing of buckwheat on
plowed-up wheat or rye fields. But as
the weeks passed and harvest time came,
the harvest gathered was so scant that
starvation seemed to stare many in the
face. There was much casting about for
ways and means for making up, in part
at least, for the great loss.
Various remedies were suggested, one
of which was to suspend the public
schools for year and remit the payment
of school taxes for that time, so that tax
payers might have more money in hand
with which to meet necessary family ex-
penses.
Another proposition, offered as sub
stitute for suspendiug the schools, was
that the use of tobacco be discontinued.
1t was urged that if every smoker and
chewer would entirely give up his waste
full and unhelpful habit, there would be
as much, If not more, money saved to the
citizens as would be saved by suspending
the schools, and moreover, the saving
would be both in legitimate and help
full way.
OF course prices advanced sharply.
Then, as now, there were plenty of men
who were willing to take advantage OF
the situation to make money, and they
helped along the advance. Farmers we're
forced to sell of their stock, at any prices
obtainable, and many, unable to meet
their obligations, we're drived into bank
ruptcy.
Ex-Mayor VIM. NJ. Williams, In speak
ing of the frost, said:
"Fifty-two years ago today, June 3,
1859, was in the mercantile business in
my old home, Monongahels City, 80 miles
south of Pittsburg. l went to my father g
farm, one mile from the city, where
found that the frost had killed all the
fruit and vegetables, wheat and corn
which was three feet high. There was a
general panic among the people, with
visions of starvation in their minds.
Farmers and others made a run on our
store, but we refused to sell them more
than one barrel of -four each. Within 30
days. however, flour was cheaper than
before the frost, in consequence of big
shipments from the west. The frost eX-
tended over Ohio, Indiana and part OF
Pennsylvania"

The REPUBLICAN copied an item from
the Derrick last week relatiye to road
legislation which told but part OF the
story, in that 1t gave a Vensngo legisla-
tor all the credit for getting route from
Oil City to Tonesta via President. We
learn that to our own member, MIR.
Campbell, belongs the credit of getting
this route incorporated in the Sproul bill,
as it was not the original intention to
come by the river. Mr.. Campbell should
also be credited with getting the Tionests
creek route on the map, starting from
what will be the state road running
through Nebraska and continuing up the
creek and intersecting at Sheffield with
the route from Warren to Smethport
Mexican county. After hard pull For
est county's member was successful in
inducing the committee to adopt this
route.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Cooking Kills Germs.

Unless you are reasonably GER
tain that the meat you eat has
been carefully inspected and
declared free from disease germs
you should see that the meat is
very thoroughly cooked.
Thorough cooking kills dan
gerous micro-organisms-that is,
it destroys the germs that might
infect you or some member of
your family whose physical con-
dition at the time of eating in
fected food was such that the
germ found ready lodgment and
easy soil upon which to work.
Cleanliness in the kitchen, ii is
needless to say. is absolutely
necessary. If you take care Of
your own kitchen you will see
that it is kept clean. If some
one else takes care Of your kitch-
en- you should make it your per-
sonal duty to see that 1t is kept
clean, not clean on the surface
but all through cupboards,
drawers, shelves, utensils, furni-
ture and, mark this, particularly
the stuff that is not in sight.

Deafness Cnnnot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition

Beaver Tales,

The Indians say that if beaver sent
out from the parents lodge fails to
find a mate he is set to repair the
dam. If he fails second time he is
banished.
An Arab writer has the same story.
He tells us that those who buy beaver
skins can distinguish between the
skins Of masters and slaves. The lat
ter have the hair of the head rubbed
off because they have to pound the
wood for their masters food and do it

happened that the woman was not
dead, but in a trance, and when the
thieves broke into her burial place she
awoke and went to her home. There
she called a servant, who ran in fear
to his master and told him what had
happened. The scared burgomeister
replied to this. II would sooner believe
that my horses were looking out OF

such a thing could be-" Scarcely had
the words left his mouth than he
