Alderman Knapp of Bradford makes
the following liberal offer: Dnring leep
year will perform marriage ceremonies
free where the bride to be has been re-
sponsible for the matrimonial venture.
Believing that there are many bashful
swains who would be only too glad to
wed If they could find some smooth and
unembarrassing manner in which to
broach the all important question, and by
making this offer, hope will encourage
many of the fair sex to take the initiative.
Last Saturday morning Will Thomp-
son of Nebraska concluded to try his
fancy fox hounds on what he supposed
was an old track. Much to his surprise
in less than two hours they brought Rey-
nard within reach of his "Winchester"
and he landed him almost on the spot.
Before he could reach him the dogs were
upon him, and one had him by the neck
and the other by the hind quarters, try
ing to tear him to pieces. A little more
and Mr.. Thompson would have been
minus fine fox pelt.

As result of coasting accident in
Oil City last week, one boy is in the hos
pital in a critical condition with leg
nearly severed, one with broken leg
and two or three others more or less seri-
ously hurt. At Warren a similar accident
has put three boys out of commission for
some time by broken limbs, cuts and
bruises, and they are in the hospital,
while two others are undergoing re-
pairs at their homes. Thus far we have
had no accidents to record here, and we
hope coasters will be careful to see that
we do not have.
Saturday night gave us some more
cold weather, and Sunday morning ther-
mometers in town showed l2o below zero.
According to weather sharps the back
bone of winter will be broken early in
February, it being promised that that
month will not be of its usual severity.
Foster says that after a cold wave early
in February there will be rising temper
ature to last the greater part OF the month,
and he predicts that there will not be
much snow to fall. He also says that
there may be high water about the mid
die ofthe month following heavy thaw.
How dear to my heart is the steady
subscriber, Who pays in advance, with
out skipping year; Who lays down his
money, and offers it gladly, And casts
round the Office a halo of cheer. Who
never says, "Stop it, cannot afford it!'
Or, "Getting more papers each day than
read;" But always says, "Send it, the
whole outfit likes It--In fact, we regard
it business need" How welcome is he
when he steps in the sanctum, How he
makes our heart throb, how he makes
our eye dance! We outwardly thank
him-we inwardly bless him-Tbe steady
subscriber who pays in advanced Tx.

view to being present at one or the other
ofthese institutes, and go prepared to
take hand in the discussions and busi-
ness affairs that will come up.

braska in the spring. He will retain his

Dams in Pennsylvania are not pop
ular institutions. Their record is deadly
aud appalling. Two such disasters as
that of Johnstown and Austin cast a
dsmper over any great exhibit of en-
thusiasm. Terrible as these things were,
it is no exaggeration to say that long
train of trouble, not so spectacular, but
equally deadly, would come with the
damming of our streams. Men with
careful, unexcited minds, who are capa-
BILE OF seeing the end from the beginning
condemn the attempt to conserve the
waters of Tlonesta creek. II seems to be
a misomer 10 call this conservation. For
that good word, often misused, should
mean the taking care of the interests of
the greatest number. 1t is inconceivable
that the legislature and the governor of
this state should make so fatal a mistake
