He wayed pounds, and a hatchet and nails. The railroad work in the neighborhood of Cherrytree is still progressing. The company have already given the contracts for ties, and all along the grading can beseen huge pilesof them. Next summer the shrill whis le of the locomotive will be heard in that neck o' the woods. One of the largest log jobs that has ever been made since timber became scarce, was completed last week by John S.

Dayis, of Kenwood. The tract contained all the piuo timber in the Mitchell timber lot near the Diamond. The logs are now all in. the creeit waitinghigh water. The Market Reports in the PKOG- BESii for the Indiana markets are correct and reliable.

The changes in the prices of produce are made by Mr. D. of the Farmer's Head- quaiters. The prices of grain, flour and feed are corrected weekly by Wilnon, Eowe Hetrick, of the India! a Flour Mills. The lumbermen are wearing a broad smile since the snow fall, in hopes that they may yet get their logs "to the river.

The huge tract of timber which was formerly owned by the Mc.Oul- lough heirs, is all being cut for ship spars and rafts. It is conceded to be the finest tract of timber that has been cut in our county for yeats. Dixonville Council No 4-io, Jr. O. 0.

A. presented a flag to the school in that place on F-ebruary 22. Addiesses made by Rev. Rowland and Profs. Harbison arid Peelor, and the music was furnished by the Utah band and by a choir selected for the occasion.

The demonstration was a complete success and was well attended. J. A. Mellon, general manager of the Ligouier Valley railroad, will accept our thanks for courtesies. This branch road from Latrobe, to Ligonier, passes through some of the most romantic, as well as historic places in Western Pennsylvania.

It is rapidly becoming one of the most popular excursion routes, as was fully attested last year by the many thousands who visited tit Idlewild. Just as the family of James Learn, of near Coobport, were about to sit down to i on Sunday they were surprised to hear a cry of flie. Mr. S. McCoy', of that place, discovered the roof of Mr.

Learu's residence to be on fire. A few buckets of water extinguished the fHuies, but had it not been for the timely discovery it might have resulted seriously. The fire was supposed to have originated by a spark falling on the roof. Dr. Miller, veterinary surgeon, was nveiheard saying on Monday that it would be just as for life insurance companies to insure livery horses as it would farm hoi sen.

He stated that insurance companies would very rarely insure" livery horses. There has just been oneliverv horse died in this town within the pa-it three years, and this one died from some natural disease. This speaks well for our liverymen; they must certainly take good cure of their horses. About the middle of April Mr.H. K.

Livingston, of Cookport, will leave for Tuscora, Mexico, where he will engage in herding twenty-five hundred cattle from that place to Pleasant Vul- ley, twelve miles from Salt Lake City, Utah.

These men will all be under tho supervision of Mr. Livingston. The Blairsville Land Improvement Company offers for sale some very desirable lots near the tin plate works. These lots are particularly improved, a i sewer pipes laid along all the sheets, and are choice residence loca 1 turns. An investment in them, either for a home, a house to rent, or a good speculation, cannot be surpassed.

A new plot is being laid out adjoining the A. G. Neville glass works, where some fine bargains will be offered. Kor particulars write the Blairsville Lund Improvement Company, Blairsville, Pu. 4feb4t A few days ago a negro priest celebrated his first in Baltimore in a church under whose roof thirty years ajo met the convention which had for its object the secession of Maryland frjm the federal union.

The priest made the address on the occasion of the ordination, said; "Had a then hinted that three decades later a colored man would stand in the same jlttce and breah the bread of life as a :rie.st of the Catholic church he would jave been bnoteU." The episode is ligldy suggestive to the student ot'his- oiy and brings out in a striking man icr the changes in sentiment wrough ri tins country in a comparatively iiort period of time. The second arnu'ul content betweet the debating clubs at the Grove College, took place in the college chap el, on Friday evening, February 19th The exercises of the evening con sisted of debate, declamation, essay iiml oration, interperoed with iiiusiu The were the finest evei given in the chapel: The Shakespeui which was also victorous last i ear, won eight points out eleven.

Letshaw, President of Findloy College, Ohio. We were requested to publish a communication complaining about the boys playing marbles on the 'idewalks and pavements. Ho says that "the pavements were made for pedestrians, and not for boys to play marbles on. It is very annoying for ladies to have to step in the mud to pass around a crowd of these players." Yes, the pavements are for pedestrians, but we do i a it is a slander on our boys to say that they would require a lady to step in the to get past them. We witnessed a group of boys ranging from six to ten years, playing an interesting game a few days ago, when PEESONAL BEEVITIES.

Mr, Albert Evans, of Penn Bun, purchased a fine team of iron gray Mr. Alexi'arnel, of here horses in Westmoreland county, on a lady approached and they immediately stepped aside like gentlemen until she hud passed.

It is very gratifying to us as well as many others to learn how i George Kline is received In Johnstown.

Read what the Johnstown Tri'tunr says of his place of business: 'If you haven't been at Kline's you must certainly go; it's was a remark that one lady made to another in a street car to-day. A reporter overheard the remark and he called at Kline's to get an ocular demonstration of a lady's idea of something delightful." Kline's, you know, is the new dry goods store at No. 241 Main street, and it wVlelightful.

The shelves and counters are bright with the latest and prettiest things in the market, and everything there is a lavish display of beautiful and artistic articles for ladies' wear.

J. Elwood and wife, who have been visiting the former's parents and other friends, have returned to their horn in Kansas. Three children passed through town on Tuesday, who proved to be runaways. They were overtaken about 3 miles from here by a man from a neighboring township and taken back. 1 How They Do in Greensburg, The Tribune Herald, of Greensburg, says: "A nice little game of poker was played in one of the halls of the city last week, in which the stakes amounted to o'ver $1400.

That doesn't look much like hard times, Joes it foiled In His Attempts. It has been the custom of our Sheriff on each Saturday to have the inmates of the jail scrub and clean their own apartments, alao the court and walks around the cells. On last Saturday a bold attempt was made by one of the inmates to escape, and all the other prlsioners were lending their efforts to help him. The man waa Geo. Dugan, who was arrested about four weeks ago for drawing a revolver on Conductor Mullen.

While scrubbing during the Sheriff's absence Dugan climbed on the top of his cell, and here awaited the roll call. After the Sherifl entered the names were all called and answered properly. They all made their appearance except Dugan, but since he answered to his name (from the top of his cell) the jailer thought everything was right. So far circumstances worked well but what troubled him was how to get out of the court. When Mra.

Lewis came in with their supper another prisoner took Dugan's pan to the grub hole, saying that Dugan was asleep and that he would give him his supper when he would awake. When Mrs. Lewis' back was turned, Dugan, who lad slipped over to the female department, made his escape through he open door, and was once more a ree man. He had made a fair start when he was discovered by the deputy heriff. Dugan started on a run and did the aspiring deputy and the fflcer overtook the prisoner near the esidence of J.

M. Stewart. He made 0 attempt to escape after he was aught and had very little to say. When he returned to the jail he hands the deputy the following poem, vhich, alhough roughly composed, 10 doubt gave vent to his feelings: 1 am face to fceo with trouble, The sky looks nice aud bright. I will hardly know which way to go If I escape to-nlg-ht.

For to-night I will be free-If my well laid plans don't fail, And to-morrow I'll be many miles From this old county Jail. I have thought the matter over. And planned with great delight To make a break for liberty, In the darkness of the night. Once outside these grim old bars With swlftnes I will sail, And by to-morrow morning I'll be far from this old jail. But when the Sheriff flnds I'm gone And thinks of me he has lost, He will hunt for me with greater care Than was spent on Charley Boss.

I can almost see the Sheriff, Like a hound upon my trail, But I'll be many miles by then, From this old county jail, Farewell, farewe'l, this county Jail Fades from my sight to-day. I will turn and gaze upon the place Where I passed four weeks away. My heart goes out In tenderness For the boys I leave behind. God grant that they, the most of them, Their liberty soon shall find. --GEORGE DUGAN.
