Reed and daughter Elizabeth, have returned from a two week's sojourn at Chautauqua. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. I.itch, Miss Heseie and Master Thomas Litcii left on Monday evening for Atlantic City. Mrs. F. K. Brown, of Mayburg, Forest county, and Masters Douthitt and Paul W. G. Foster, of State College, spent last Dickey, of Pittsburg, are visiting Mrs. Brown's sister, Mrs. John B. Means. Sunday with Mrs. Poster and son Oordon, who are visiting Mrs. Foster * mother, Mrs. J udge Oordon. B. Frank Hall, of 8t. Marys, Pa., was a Brookviile visitor on Tuesday, the purpose of Mr. Hall's visit being to look after .some interests of the proposed new railroad down Mill Creek, and into the coal regions south of Brookviile, where a large amount of coal land has been leased and is being tested. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Itrocious and son ' Lewis returned home on Friday last from a two weeks' visit to Chautauqua. Mr. Brocius, who was much run down from too close attention to business, was much benefited by the trip. Willam A. Watts, who has been cmfined to his home for several months, and whose condition became so alarming that little hope for his recovery was entertained by his physicians, has unexpectedly taken a change for the better, which it is hoped will continue to such an extent that Mr. Watts will soon be able to sit up. To Ggorge L. Sandt belongs the honor of having caught the largest fish hooked this season by any member of the numerous fishing parties that have visited the waters of the Slnnemahoning. Mr. Sandt was one of a party that went lishing last week. He was fortunate enough to pull in an 18-inch bass, and is justly proud of the accomplishment.J. R. Branin met with what might have been a very serloos accident on Monday. He was attending to his duties about the yard of Messrs. Cook <fe Graham's saw mill, when a horse used on the tramway to transfer lumber tried to runaway. Mr. Branin caught him by the bridle, and in the struggle that ensued the bridle broke and the horse trampled on Mr. Branin, the calf of whoee leg was badly cut by the horse's hoof. The animal was subdued after a short struggle, and Mr, Branin was conveyed to his home, where medical aid was summoned and his injuries attended to. While the cuts are not dangerous, they are very painful, and will necessitate the retirement of Mr. Branin from his work for a short time. Elmer E. Alberta, aged 3.'! years, soil o( Charles F. Alberta, died of typhoid fever on last Friday and was baried in the Brookville cemetery on Honday afternoon. Mr. Alberts' condition seamed to be decidedly favorable on Friday morning, when his symptoms suddenly took an unfavorable turn. Everything that was possible was done for him, but he continued to sink until evening, when he died. He was well known on the Allegheny Valley Railroad, where he had been employed for a number of years as an engineer. Besides his wife and infant child, Hr. Alberts is survived by his parents and several brothers and sisters. Ed H. Bulger, of Brooklyn, N.Y., dropped unexpectedly into town on Tuesday morning. Mr. Bulger, over twenty years ago, was a resident of Brookville, knowing many and-known by everybody. The changes in that time, particularly in the number of new buildings both residence and business—are so great that it required a stretch of imagination on the part of the visitor to realize that it Is the same town with which he was so familiar a few short years ago. Miss Lena and Qrace Wilkin gave a large party for their young friends on Monday evening. The beautiful grounds of the Wilkin residence, in West Brookville, were tastefully decorated. Choice music by the Brookville orchestra lent a charm to the occasion and zest to the dancing, which was indulged in by the young peiple until a late hour. C. T. Thompson, who for the past eighteen months has been employed in the saw mill of Messrs. Cook & Graham as tiler, left on Tuesday afternoon for the State of Kansas, where he has accepted a similar position.Prothonotary W. D. Clarke left on Saturday for Chautauqua, where Mrs. Clarke and daughter preceded him last week. During Mr. Clarke's absence from his ofHoe Mr. Cyrus H. Blood will act as Prothonotary. Miss Hattie McCreight, who for several weeks has been very ill with typhoid fever, has so far recovered as to be able to sit up. If no relapse occurs she will be able to be out again in a few days.

Spedal Agent* for Parker Coffee, Tea An Englishman being asked by an old friend what had become of his two brothers •aid that he did not know, remarking that one of them had gone to sea and the other to the United State*, where he became Vice President, since which time he had not heard of either of them. This observation reminds na of a condition into which most Boards of Trade lapse soon after organization, the last to disappear from pnblic notice being the Greenabarg Board, as witness this plaint from the Tribane-Herald of that town. ''Have we or have we not a board of trade ? This is a question that some of onr citizens are unions to have answered. Two years ago one was organized, bnt so far as practical resalts are oonoerned we might jast as well have had none at all. Not a single industry has been sscared, and no encouragement given to persona who contemplated locating their work* hen. We can't expect onr town to grow and prosper as it should without we make the effort. Industries are the town builders and these we must have or rstrogreesion rather than progression will he our fate.

The last transport from Manila brought the news of Col. Hawkins' Illness but his death waa not expected. Col. Hawkins' death occurred two days after the transport sailed from Yokohama. Apoplexy is said to have been the cause. The remains were embalmed on board the ship and brought here for shipment to Pennsylvania. Ii. A. W, Meet, Boston.
