Wherever tney happen TO be. In the re-
cent examination test at the Central State
Normal school at Lock Haven, Charles
King, l6'year' old son of Geo. L. King of
West Hickory, passed very near the head
of his class In the first year grade, with
mark of94H. For a youngster this is
fine and would do credit to much older
students.
AS yet no information as to the sum-
mer train schedule on the P. r. r. is
available, but Warren is maxi ing a srenu-
GUS effort to have the time of the 1881 a.
IN. train made about an hour later, 80 az
to give Tidioute nearly two hours in War
rem during business hours.-News. But
that wouldn't suit Tionesta worth a cent,
and there would be a strenuous lex from
those on down the river.
The Postoffice Department is reported
to be contemplating another innovation
the telephone card. The new card is to
contain the name, address and telephone
number. On its arrival at the postoffice
clerk is TO call up the person to whom It
is addressed, and read the message, after
which the card would be delivered in the
usual way. The card would cost FIVE
cents and have preference in delivery over
other first class mail matter.
Those who thought that $500 oil for
the Pennsylvania product was going to
stay awhile. have another guess coming.
Monday the price took another slump of
10 cents the barrel making the market
price now $780, This puts things in the
air again. producers are unable to figure
out just where to place the stopping place
now that the dollar mark has been
obliterated. Nevertheless there will not
likely be any cessation OF drilling opera
tions and only the. actual producer will
feel the cut seriously.

oliver McWilliams, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James McWillisms, of Tionesta
township, who was employed on the
Coleman log train, had the misfortune
to haye his right leg broken Friday fore
noon. He was helping to load the cars
when a log rolled on his leg, breaking
the large bone off midway between the
knee and ankle. The fact that he had
fallen and was lying on soft ground when
the log struck him probably saved the
leg from being badly crushed. DR.. Bo-
ward was called to the young mans
home and reduced the fracture.
The May term of court, which begins
Monday, will doubtless be the largest
that has been held in this county in a
number of years, owing to the double
murder trial that is scheduled TO take
place, George and Ada Strain charged
with the killing of Albert Allen. An ex-
ira petit jury has been summoned, max
ing sixty in all that will be in attendance,
besides the twenty four grand jurors. A
large array of witnesses on this and other
cases have been summoned. Two or
three minor cases on the criminal docket
will also be disposed of. The civil list is
also longer than usual, so that the full
week, aud perhaps more, is likely to be
taken up If all the business shall be dis
posed of.
These frequent showers, amounting
often to real down-pours, are making
every sort OF regetation hump all right,
but they are also putting the bug on
work on the farms and gardens here
about. Here it is, the 18th day of May
and not one garden in ten upon which a
stroke OF work has been done We
woulden't grumble for the world, but
what else is there to do when you can't
work in the garden, or even sit around
and watch some one else do the STUMP
| However, the time never was when this
old foolstool Jailed to yield living and a
good one to the fellow who'd do his share
of work, with an abundance of garden
sass on the side. And so we'll wait for
the clouds to roll by and the weather to
clear, If not this week then next, and so
