Forest City – Prof. J. S. Lee, A. M. has lately compiled a pamphlet on “Zoology Outlines” for use in the class room. Prof. Lee experienced the same difficulty that many a teacher has in securing a dependable pamphlet for this use, leaving blank pages for personal notes and observations, and so overcame the difficulty by preparing one to suit the individual needs of instructor and student.

Middletown Twp. - Edward Kelly, aged 43 years, a farmer here, died suddenly on Tuesday. He had been in usual health up to within a half hour before his death, coming in from the fields where he had been assisting in haying and died before a physician could reach him.

Kelly, survive.  Funeral and burial at Flynn.

Athens, Bradford Co. – Some of the sensational city dailies, with accustomed disregard of the truth, have been publishing that the recent expedition of research that went down the Susquehanna river to locate relics of the Indians had made discoveries of a race of aborigines that were 7 ft. in  height and had horns. One of the members of the archaeological party has denied this, stating that 57 skeletons of normal individuals had been excavated near Athens. One of the skeletons was found covered with deer antlers, hence the probable source of the horned savages.

Dimock – When some of the supervisors of the surrounding townships get hauled before the court for leaving loose stones and bad holes in their roads, and a good stiff fine is imposed, there will be one mighty howl from those same officers. Some of the roads in this place are as near impassable as there is any need of a road being, and someone should take the matter on at once.

ALSO Saturday night at about eleven o’clock, an intoxicated man drove his splendid big bay team on the lawns on upper Cherry street, broke out two cellar windows in one house and mussed up things generally. About five o’clock he came around and said he would settle, but money cannot restore grass for the remainder of the summer.

News Brief: All the presidents except two—Van Buren and Roosevelt—were of British extraction.  Jefferson, however, was the only Welshman and Mr. Hughes’ ancestry also goes back to Wales. The father of Chief Justice Hughes was a clergyman and three other presidents—Wilson, Cleveland and Arthur—were sons of preachers. If you want your son to be a president, you had better buy a farm.  An even dozen presidents were sons of farmers and farmer boys beat all others in the race to the White House.
