One of the linemen employed in stringing the Bell telephone wires to Endeavor, whose name we could not learn, fell from a pole one day last week.

He was not seriously hurt as ho landed ou a sandy Bpot that was not frozen, and the next day was back at work. According to a Pittsburg news Item, the price of tobies Is to go up the first of the year, this being due to the shortage of the domestic supply of the weed from which the tobiea are made.

If the mak ers weren't around last summer to gather suflicieut supply while all sons of weeds were at their best they ought to bo prohibited from raising the pi ice at this late day. On Tuesday, Jan. 10, the battle flags of the Eighty-third and One Hundred and Fortvf-fifth regiments of Pennsyl vania volunteers will be presented to the Erie publlo library, says the Titusville Herald.

Dr. McKnight was in Philadelphia last week, and was greatly disappointed to learn while there that the plates for his new history had been destroyed, thus preventing him from getting any more conies of the book printed.

the best (lint fUl Im had fur the mouev. at Dunu A Fulton's. 'it Ephraim Hyde, aged 70 years died at tlie Oil City hospital on Saturday last, of Bright's disease. He was the father of Herman Hyde, well known in this com munity, and with whom he bad made his home for a number of years. Such inscriptions as "Merry Christ inas," "Happy Hew year," "With Best Wishes," Ac, together with the name and address of the Bonder, may be written upon fourth class mall mattor or upon a card enclosed In the package without arTocting Its classification.

The package, however, must not be sealed. The conductor and two engineers of a Pennsylvania railroad freight train were taken before a justice In Corry Wednesday and charged with obstructing Btreet crossings for more than twenty minutes. Something of this nature might prove a wholesome lesson to the freight crews who have a habit of "holding up" the people who got off the up-river evening train at this station. They are frequently compelled to stand In freezing or inclement weather for long stretches of time awaiting the pleasure of the crews to move their trains before they can cross at the west end of the river bridge. Some of the more considerate ones "cut" their trains at the crossing, allowing passengers to pass through, which Is an easy way out of the dilemma and Is appre ciated by the traveling publlo.

We have no time, says the Oil City Blizzard, for the person who at this time of the year busies himself trying to create doubt in the minds of the little ones as to the existence of Santa Claus. Of course there 1b a Sauta Claus, and he or she who says there is not tells what is untrue. Simply because a boy or girl never saw bim is no reason that he does not exist. As well might it be said there is i God, because they never saw Him. How many of them ever saw Love, Charity or Kindness? Yet they exist, just as Santa Claus does.

The man or woman who tries to shatter this pleasing illusion of childhood is the worst kind of an Anarch ist. All their talk about misrepresentation, deception and fraud Is simply tlie rottenist kind of rot. The best of life is largely illusory, and why should we not encourage the children In the enjoyment of their innocent fancies. Christmas In the Churches. The Presbyterian Sabbath School of Tionesta will give a Christmas exercise on next Saturday eveuing at 7:30 in the Presbyterian church, entitled "Beautiful Christmas Gifts," by Ida Scott Taylor.

A party and banquet of more than ordinary note was givon by the monfolk of what is known as tlie "Henpecked Society" of Endeavor, last Saturday evening. For some timo past this social sot has met periodically at Kindorgarten hail and passed a pleasant evening, the ladies providing the luncheon. Saturday evening, however, the tables were turned, and it was up to the men to do the honors in the culinary lino, and right well they performed their part, aud a pleasant surprise was in store for the ladies when it came time to be seated at the banquet table. Pretty menu cards were in evidence, and a bill of fare was spread that would do credit to a Delmonico, and all the work and preparation of tho male portion of the society, whose serving and catering was done in the highest style of the art.

After the banquet, toasts were ably and graoefully responded to by the ladies, a feature of the eveuing that was both ploasing and edifying. Among the. responses were these, Mr. P. E.

Shoemaker acting as toastroaster "The Men," Frances A. Judsou. "Our Socioty," Mrs. Fuellhart. "Banquets In Geuoral," Mrs.

Stiles. "Our Electric Lights," Mrs. Evans. "ToMuncy and Rotiiin," Mrs. Shoe maker.

"Endeavor," Mrs. Abbott. The event was votod a complete Boelal hit, and the only occasion for worry ou the part of the ladies now is, "how lo got even." But they aro resourceful and will doubtless prove equal to the occasion On account of Christmas and New Year holidays, the Pennsylvania Rail Com pan will sell excursion tickets he' tweeu all Htations on the Chautauqua Division, Bull'alo to Oil City, inclusive, and Oil Citv to Salamanca, inclusive; also from Buffalo.

The large boarding house belonging to Wheeler Dusenbury and located at their Economite mill, in the edge of War ren county, was burned to the ground last Saturday night. The bouse was oc cupied by J.

E. Osgood and family, who kept the boarders (or Frank M. Black, jobber for Wheeler Dusenbury. At the time or the breaking out of the fire, about nine o'clock, all the boarders wore absent, and only Mr. Osgood and bis family, consisting of his mother, wife and four small children, were in the bouse.

They had retired for the night, and had fallen asleep when they were awakened by the smoke and crackling of the fire. Mr. Osgood made a hasty in spection and found that escape by the stairway was cut off by the flames, and It was necessary to take the family by an up-stairs window, which fortunately opened from their rooms onto a large porch roof. The lumbering camp was entirely deserted that night for the first time in seveial months, and Mr. Osgood oould do nothing but fee tho building burn, although he managed to save a roll of new carpet which had not been put down.

This was the only article saved from the flames, Mr. Osgood losing all his household effects and all the family wearing apparel except such as tbey hap pened to have in their sleeping rooms. His goods had been insured but when be moyed to tlie place, a little more than two months ago, he bad neglected to not ify the insurance company, thus vitiating bis policy. His loss will be five or six hundred dollars. Mr.

Black's loss on furniture, which he bad in the house, will foot up almost as much more. There was no insurance on the building, which was a very large and commodious affair, having been erected many years ago by the Economite society, which at one time owned the timber in tbat section. Mr. Osgood was in town Monday, and wbile be regretted hia bard luck, was still feeling elated over the fact tbat be was able to get all the members of his family out safely and without injury to any of them. The origin of the fiie can not be accounted for.
