Last summer John Coon raised on bis farm a few miles out from daring ton, some ruta bagas that would be hard to beat.

Lee per, Clarion county, corre spondence Clariin Republican : "It is reported on good authority that a new manufacturing industry is about to be opened near this town, on the land owned by J. S. Krauser. It has been known for many years thot a body of fine fire clay underlaid the largo coal bed in this vicinity, and last summer J. Krauser, had some tests made of the mineral by Pittsburg and Washington parties in bis presence, and they certi fied that it was the fluest ihcy had ever tested. Negotiations aro now under consideration by several capitalists from a distance to operate the clay, and manufacture fire brick and crock ery. If it is a go the company it is said will build a plant that will employ from 300 to 350 men " As we went to press List week the case of Iluttie B. Riley vs. The Na tional Insurance Company of Alleghe ny, was ou trial and it lasted until Thursday afternoon. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff' ot $845.33. Tbe case of Uattie B.

Court adjourn ed Saturday at 4 p. m , to meet ou the third Tuesday of March for argument court. We publish this week the text of a bill now before the legislature, which tbe title explains as ''Ao Act to pro mote the business of lumbering," but whether the citizens of the Common wealth, who don't just happen to be directly cogaged in that buiness, will look upon it as promoting the welfare of the individuals, is a questoin some what mooted. To one "up a treer" it looks as though the privileges intended to be granted by this bill were "all crow for Injun." Least io0 it appears like goiog a trifle too far, and it would not be a bad idea for all interested, aud that includes a good many, to read the bill and see how they'd like to see it enacted iuto a law. There- is an old law slill on our statute books, but which is very little used, that seems to pretty well cover tho ground. Rf ereuce to this law is made in an item in this issue, Mr. MafTett having made use of it in a petitiou to our court last week. Salvation Oil has the enviable distiuction of being a synonym for rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, and kindred affections, such as sciatica, ticdoulcroux, etc. It is growing more popular daily. The people beleive in it, and will have it. 25 cts. The ProTisIous of Alt Old Law Invoked. Ou Mouday of last week, J. T. Maffett, attorney for P. Haskell & Co., presented a petition to Court under an old Act of 1832, emitted "An Act re lating to lateral railroads," for the appoiutmeot of viewers to assess dam ages, if any, which might be sustained by U.

THE SABBATH SCHOOL COXVE.MI0X. The Sabbath School Convention of For est county, mot in the Presbyterian church of Tionesta, Fob. 24, ISM, at 7:30 p. ni. The president, P. M. Clark, being absent, Rev. J. V, McAninch acted as president. The sosRion waa opened with a song by the choir, "Whiter Than Snow," and prayer by Mr. Whalcy.

Joirers of Oil City, was introduced and gave a very Interesting and Instructive talk on "Tho Hible and the l'Jtli Century." The Rible, he said, should bo preserved by us, 1st. Reeauso there Is no other sub stitute. Xo one Is a friend of tho coming generation who would tako tho Rible from thorn and give thein no substitute as good. 2nd. Valuable for the history it contains. 3d. Because tho Rible is ahead of us yet. In Social Economy, Government and Righteousness. 4th. Because the Bible gives us tho tho Sabbath Day. It is valua ble for Its miracles. Without miracles no knowlodgo of God. It tells of the sinless One who bocaino sin for us. It assures us lifo everlasting which nothing elso can. Prof. J. A. Sprenkel sang "Iook and Llvo," assisted by the choir. Dr. Morrow then provided for tho entertainment of tho delegates. Adjourned to meet at 0:30 Wednesday tnornini;. WEDNESDAY MOnHIKO. Devotional exercises conducted by J. W. Work. "Tho Model Superintendent" was the first subject taken up and discuss ed. J. II. Dingiuan opened the discussion. Nearly all tho delegates present took part. Here are some of tho points made : lie is a Christian ; he is an exemplary man ; he has oxecutive ability ; ho is a man of sym pathy ; he is deliberate J he is punctual ; ho is a clean man. "The Teachor's Prep aration," oponed by J. K. Ilillard. Dis cussed by all members of convention. Tho following points were mado: No one can teach without preparation of hoart and of mind ; the teacher should bo in full sympathy with his class, tho lesson, and the spiritual truth to be conveyod by the lesson. In preparing he should mako use of tho teachers' meeting, lesson helps, and of his bible, lie should begin to prepare very early. lie ought to bo ablo to teach without the aid of helps when ho appears before his class. Lesson helps are to be used at home. Bibles should bo used ex clusively by pupils in tho recitation of the lesson. It will pay evory school to koep up its Teachers' Meeting. Queries an swered: The Sunday School Associatiou is supported iu this way; each school is asked to contribute at the rato of one-half cent for each scholar in tho school each year. Tho Field Socrotary is tho only of licor who receives any pay, and ho Is paid a regular salary. Occasionally tho associa tion receives a personal donation, from persons interested. Less than two-thirds of all the boys and girls in the State of Pennsylvania attend Sunday school. There aro 1,500,000 boys and girls iu tho State. So that more than 500,000 of them do not attend Sunday school. More than this number yet do not attend church. Tho advisability aud possibility of hold ing District-Sunday School Conventions iu the county was discussed. To teach the primary department with any success it Is necessary to have a sepa rate room. Ono can be mado with calico curtains, if in no ether way. A teacher for littlo ones should have a young heart. Teach with maps, charts, objects. Teach concrete truth. Ask questions to bring out what the child knows j for every child knows something. At 0 a bright intelli gent child has learned half ho will ever know. WKDSEaDAY AFTERNOON. Devotional exercises conducted by J. II. Dingrnan. Queries: An ideal of any thing should be placod high, but always inside the limits of possibility. Why not eloct ladies as Sunday School Superintend ents? Yes, why notT Nevor under any circumstances lot anything interfere with class study and recitation of tho lesson ; begin on time, close on time. As a rare exception In an extreme case tho timo for the review of the lesson may be prolonged, but the timo for a recitation never. A Union Sunday School is a great deal better than none. Where it is not possible to or ganize and conduct a denominational school by all means orgauizo a union school. Prof. Sprcnkol song very effect ively, "I was onco far away from tho Sa vior," Mrs, Sharpo accompanying on the organ. Prof. Sprenkol occupied tho re maining part of the session in a talk to, and with, and about, the children. Never ask attention ; just get it by deserving it. A children' meeting is more liko Ileaveu than any other kind of a meeting, because there are more children iu each place than there are big poople. There is no praying in Heaven. It is all praise. The Bible has ten commands to praise God to ono command to pray. We ought to think more of Heaven than wo do. How do we know there is such a place as Heaven f Just in the same way that we know of any other place; sonio ono who knows tells us. Jesuscamedown froui Heaven. John, tho belovod disciple, saw Heaven; both thoso persons toll us of Heaven. Prof. Sprenkel expects to be In Tionosta some time in November noxt to hold a Sunday School Institute. Tho following dolomites were present at tho convention : Mrs. A. Bean, S. S. Whaley, Hickory; Henry Manross, Mrs. Sallie Gorman, Hunter Station; Josiah Work, Joseph Hall, Rodclyllc; Misses May Zueiidel, Miunio Ikenberg, Km inn Killer-, Starr; I.ymau Cook, Nebraska; J. 11.

The variaus biographies of Sherman hitherto published have neeos sarily been incomplete; and even his own memoirs, written In 1ST5, said almost uothing of liia intensely iulerwliiij; lite, ami not a word of course, of the more than twenty years of social activity and frater nity with old comrades since the war. Tho work which is now to be issued will splendidly supply tho w idely felt demand for a history ol the great strategic eoni luandcr. It Is beiug writtcu by General O. O. Howard, a man ot lino literary attainments, who knew Sherman belter than aoy ether of his commander now living, and ranked next but one to him In the army, and by Willis Fletcher Johnson whose ability as a historian is familiar to the reading public of America through his t'oiun-i- uiiuaiially popular works, whirli had milleoiH of n-a leis, ami the sales of their vast oditions enriched an army of book agent. That this history ol Sherman, the last of tho great Generals, will surpass all others in popularity is not to be doubted. The story of this groat General's career Is ofa marvellous march from the moun tains of time to tho sea of eternity. Of the three gi eat war heroes, Sherman was by far the most interesting personality. He was tho best known to tho nilblio and the best loved for his genial disposition and wai m sympathy with the popular heart. Holms Joined 'hix illustrious compeers In his eternal blvounc of the the death. His is a lifo to Ktlldv tn ntmilnla niul a profound inspiration. Tho forthcoming volume win ion mo Whole story or his marvellous career, and from the author- ship engaged upon it wonro assured it will lie told in a way that will enthral the Interest of every reader from first to last. It is a book everv American will want and ono eveiy American youth should read. It will douhtlcss be the liest life of the great chieftain published, and we predict for it wonderful popularity. rrononnrrd llnpelcss, ret Saved. From n letter written by Mrs. Ada K.
