A little son aged about two years
and three months, of W. H. Arthurs,
of Centreville, this county, was
horribly burned on Wednesday, 20tli
ult. The mother of the child had
gone to a neighbor's house on an er
rand and while she was gone the child
got hold of some parlor matches,
which it set afire burniug the clothes
from its body. The screams of the
child soon brought several persons to
the rescue but too late. After suffer
ing intense agony for nearly seven
hours death came to the relief of the
little sufferer. The child was burned
to a hard crisp, and the wonder is that
it lived so long. Matches were still in
the child's hands when found, and
were also scattered around. At first
the child was rolled in snow to put
out the blaze. It then asked for
water which was given It in large quan
tities. This is, indeed, the saddest
item we have chronicled in mauy a
day.

The Patter of the Shingle.
By request.
When the angry pnnslon gathering In my
mother's face 1 ee,
And she lends me to the bed-room gently
lny me on her knee
Then I know Hint I will catch It, and my flesh
In fancy Itched,
A I listen to the patter of the Rhlngle on my
breeches. ..
Every tinkle of the Rhlngle huanechonnd
a sting.
Anda thouRnnd burning fancies Into active
being spring,
And a thousand booR and hornetR 'nenth my
cont-tnll teem to swarm.
ARlllsten to the patter of the shingle, O, so
warm I
In a sputter comes my father, whom 1
thought away had gone,
To survey the situation and to make her lay
it on
To see her bending o'er me ai I listen to the
strain
Played by her and the shingle to a wild and
wlord refrain.
In a sftdden Intermission, which appears my
only chance,
I say, "Strike gently mother, or you'll split
my Sunday pants,"
She stops a moment, draws her breath, the
shingle holds aloft.
And says, "I had not thought of that, my
son Just take them oil."
Holy Mosesl and theangelst cast your pity
ing glances down,
And thou, O family doctor! but a good son
poultice on;
And may I with fools and dunces everlast
ingly commingle
If I ever say another word when my mother
wields the shingle.

A $175,000 Transaction.
Brndford Era.
The month of November, 1879, will
be famous iu petroleum history for its
large real estate sales. Yesterday a
tansfer took place in which the amount
of cash involved was larger than" in
the sale of the Moody tract. Marcus
Hillings, who has handled more large
blocks of oil lands than any aian in
the oil business, sold Ids half interest
in the Hillings & Gufi'ey tract of fl,2o
acres in fee in the Kinzua region, on
which there are eight producing wells,
to II. L. Taylor & Co. for $175,000.
The lands are about equally divided
into two tracts which touch a single
point. The southern and western
division is found on warrants 3001,
809", ao98, 3124. Mead Run forms its
northern boundary line aud the south
brunch of the Kinzua the southern.
The dividing line between LaFayette
and Hamlin township serves as the
northern boundary for the tract on
which the producing wells are located.
The entire tract is divided up into
forty-acre lots. According to W. J.
McCullagh's Petroleum, History the
land were bought by Mr. Hulings for
ten dollars per acre. The tract is
about sixteen miles south of the city
of Bradford. The first well on it, the
Hillings No 1, located on the south
side of the North Branch of Kinzua
Creek, was finished at the close of the
month of July, 1878. Salt water has
been found at two of the wells and at
the furthest east in such copious quan
tities that it was abandoned. The
eight producing wells are reported to
have a monthly yield of 6,000 barrels,
which would give a daily average to
each well or 25 barrels.
A father never thinks his ten-year-old
son is stronger than a horse
until he employes him to turn the
grindstone to sharpen an old ax that
is about as sharp at one end as at the
other. The old man bears on until
the lad's eyes hang out and his trousers
buckle tiies off, and just before he
bursts a blood vessel his father encour
ages him with the remark. "Does
it turn hard?" Thousands of boys
have run away from home aud become
pirates and Greenbackers in order to
escape a second siege at the gindstone.

Fatal Accident. A sad accident
occurred nearMillerstown, this county,
on Monday of last week, which re
sulted in the death of Mr. Eli McCall,
who resided in that vicinity. Mr.
McCall was driving to a field after a
load of corn, his horses took fl ight and
ran away, throwing him out of the
wagon. His body was caught be
tween the wagon and a tree by the
roadside, crushing his left shoulder
and several ribs, the fractured bones
penetrating nearly to the heart. He
was taken to his home and properly
cared for, but mortal skill was of no
avail, and on Tuesday forenoon his
sufferings were ended in death. Clar

The Clinton county court has just
concluded a rather remarkable case.
A man named Shaw was insulted in
the presence of his family, consisting
of a wife and several daughters, by a
villain named Hamilton. Shaw in
his rage hurled a stone at the villi
tier, which missed him, but in its re
bouud stuck him without iufiicting
injury. Hamilton brought Shaw into
court on charge of assult, and the
latter plead guilty to save his wife and
daughters from testifying to the vile
language used by the prosecutor.
Judge Cummin in sentencing him said
that Shaw made a mistake in not
using a larger stone und taking true
aim. aud imposed a nominal fine and
cost.

A Pennsylvania Border Tale.
In the Philadelphia Weekly Press

of the Susquehanna during that
bloody and troubled period imruedi
htely following the massacre of Wyom
ing, aud "the great runaway." John
Brady; his brave and stalwart sons,
James and Samuel; Colonels Kelly and
Plunkett, Queen Esther, Bald Eagle
and other border celebrities of that
time will figure prominently. The
theme was suggested by the late Brady
contenuial celebration at Muncy, aud
is from the pen of Charles McKnight,

Mrs. Barbara Neely mother or
Isaac, William, Jesse, Hiram, and
Paul Neely, all well known through
out Clarion county, died at her resi
dence, near Bostaphs Corners, on Fri
day morning aged ninety-nine years.
From the Derrick correspondent we
learn that Mrs. Neely was born in
Maryland iu the year 1780. In 1800
at the aire of twenty, she marred
Isaac Neely, who preceded her to the
grave many years ago, and emigrated
to this Stale. Her husband bought of
the Slate some land uearthespot where
Edcnhurg is now located, but what
was then u wilderness inhabited only
by wild beasts and Indians. Their
nearest neighbors for several years re
sided fifteen mitcsaway, but eventually
more settlers came in and the embryo
town of Edenburg was started. In
1819 Mr. Neely disposed of his Eden
burg property and purchased a track
of land near Bostunh's corners, three
miles from St. Petersburg, where he
built a log cabin, into which here-
moved his family in 1820. Here Mrs.
Neely remained untill the time of her
death a period of about sixty years,
.she was the mother of a family of ten
children, all of whom lived to reach
the estate of manhood, and seven.
five sons and two daughters, are yet
living. The venerable lady ulways
enjoyed excellent health and never
knew what it was to have a spell of
sickness until the last two or three
years of her life. Clarion Republican.
