Rev. II. A. Bailey will be absent
from Tionesta next Sabbath while repay
ing an obligation of gratitude by preach
ing for fellow minister in another part
OF the Presbytery, and so there will be no
preaching services in the Presbyte

that day the regular quarterly commuD-
ion services will be- held at the church,
with preparatory services Thursday and
Friday evenings preceding.
The improvement of the Allegheny
river is given $3OO,OOO in the appropria-
tion bill this year, but this would be lost
entirely If the dam at Tionests was to be
built; or at least the menace to any im-
provements would be so great that. 1t
would be useless to attempt them. Now
ls the appointed time to insist that the
application for the water privilege of the
Tionesta be refused, and the minds of the
people be- set at rest. 1t is Too much ofa
danger to be hanging over the heads of
the citizens to be trifed witb.-Oil City

The b. IL o. people are hard at work
improving their track from Foxburg to
Kane. 1t is said that there are 1000 men
at work between Foxburg and Tylers-
burg. The Improvement in the road bed
is noticeable in the easy way in which the
cars run. In many places the track has
been raised and thus the road bed made
solid. Some places the raise has been as
high as two feet over the old road bed.
1t is getting to be one OF the most import
so rumored that the Erie people expect to
run their big passenger trains into Pitts
burg over this route.-Clarion Republi-
can.
The first sign posts to be placed along
the highways OF Pennsylvania will be
put into position this summer by the
State Highway Department, and lists are
now being made by the engineers in
charge of the operations ofthe road branch
of the state government, so that the
localities most in need of markers will
receive attention. These posts will be of
iron, with the name of the road or town
to be shown in iron letters fused on an
iron plate, the direction to be indicated by
an arrow also of iron. Although the
posts and signs are practically indestructi.
BILE any attempts to deisce or injure will
be vigorously prosecu ted.
