A bill bas been Introduced in the legislature to empower the Coron er of each county to appoint one or more Deputy Coroners, the same as deputies are appointed by the Sheriffs. This will be a great relief to the cor oners in about 65 out of the 67 couo lies of the State, where the coroners are kept busy (?) night and day, al most, "selliog on corpses." In tbe figures banded us by Supt. Kerr relative to Institute re ceipts and expenditures an error oc curred iu one instance, in wbicb we made him say "Institute of 1881," when it should have been 1891. The caeual reader would reaily under stand tbat it was an error, but we note it, nevertheless, injustice to Mr. Kerr. Some of our exchanges are bo thering their brains as to what will be done with the hammock wheo the hoop skirt comes ioto fadhion again. Hoops and hammocks may seem rather incompatible to the average man, yet it's a question tbe girls will have to wrestle with, and we prefer to let them solve the problem rather tliau offer any sujucbtions just uow, The first installment of books for the publio school library bas been re ceived, and it is expected to opeo the library to the publio this week. All who have books to donate are re quested to hand them to Principal Armstrong, who will see that tbey have a place in the collection. Tbe Presbyterian congregation of this place has in contemplation the erection of a Sabbath school and lecture room in connection with the cburcb, and a congregational meeting is called for to-morrow evening to consider and decide upon the matter. All of the congregation, whether ac tive members of tbe church or not, are cordially invited and requested to be present. L. J. Osgood, of East Hickory, was down one day last week, during a few hours shut down, caused by a shortage Of logs. He has charge of the saws in Wheeler & Dusenbury's large band mill at Slowtown, and says tbat, notwithstanding the long and severe cold spell, the mill bas not been shut down a workiog hour this winter, but has steadily put out from 30,000 to 36.000 feet of lumber every day. Considering the severity of the freezing this record is hard to beat. Constable Canfield bas posted notices to tbe effect that an election will be held in the Borough of Tio neeta, oo Tuesday, February 21, 1893, for the purpose of electing the following officers: Ooe person for Burgess ; two persons fur Council men ; ooe person for High Constable ; one person for Judge of Elections; two persons for Inspectors of Elec tions ; two persons for School Direc tors; one person for Overseer of the Poor; one person for Constable ; one person for Collector; two persons for Auditor. A few evenings ago a boy aged about 15 yeare was caught pilfering in M. C. Carringer's store at Marieo villo. The youog fellow had left tbe church where meetings were in pro gress but a short time before, and bad no difficulty in gaining an entrance, having it seems, . provided himself with a key. It was evidently not bis first visit, as Mr. Carringer had been missing cigars and small articles for some time previous, and laid the trap on this particular evening, into which the young fellow walked very un suspectingly. The first charter issued in Penn sylvania for a Local League for Good Roads bas been received, says a Meadville paper, by tbe orgaoizer, H. S. Rnbison, by whom, with Messrs. A. M. Fuller, A. Gaston and Prof. J. H. Montgomery, tbe document is signed. Mr. Robison will bave the charter in his hands for a few days for signitures and all tbe citizens wbo are interested in this movement, and ibis should be everyone, are reques ted to add tbeir names and influence. The matter is being supported by some of tbe most careful and reliable men of tbe county, and the growth of tbe movement has been r6markale. Unless all signs fail the ensuing years will see some radical improvements oo the present aimless methods of building and caring for roads. Among Oil City's attractions uone give greater pleasure to or pos sess so mucb interest for the visitor than a tour of the splendid newspa per plant of the Derrick, which now occupies a three-story buildiog each story being a veritable bive of indus try. The type-setting machines area curiosity well worth going to see, to say nothing of the fioely equipped job rooms and. book bindery. But the thing wbicb takes tbe visitor's eye and fills him with admiration is tbe new Scott Perfecting Press, wbicb takes tbe blank paper from a roll and converts it into an eight-page paper, folded complete for mailing, at the rate of one hundred and seventy per minute, or more than ten thousand per hour. You wonder why the Derrick needs such a lightning press, but when it is understood tbat its Semi Weekly edition bas reached tbe handsome size of 12,000 copies and steadily increasing, aud tbat these papers must be gotten out of the way of the Daily, two nights in the week, then it isn't so much to be wondered at. . Iu point of excellence iu all da partmeots the Derritk plant is sec cood to none in tbe Slate, while in many respects it eclipses them all, notably in the talented aud genial trio who conduct its affairs, Messrs. Boyle Perrine and Gaus. What Dr; Bull's Cough Syrup bas done for others for nearly two generations it will do for you. If you will try it once you will be cod vinced tbat it is the best family med icine, and you will never be without it. Tbe Sires Photograph Gallery will hereafter be opeo every day, ex cept Sunday, until further notice. Mr Sires has placed in charge of tbe gallery Mr. W J Bulger, of Chicago, a strictly first class artist, and those desiriog fine work should hasten to take advantage of this good opportu nity, tf. fire at mabientillf.. Marienville received another preliy severe ' scorching on Sunday night last. At about midnight fire broke out in the upper story of II. II. Hen eel's hardware store, and in a short time tbe building was a mass of smouldering ashes. A greater por tion of his stock of hardware was saved from the flames, and most of his household goods (be occupied tbe up per story as a dwelling) were rescued. The flames spread from this to the Stull store buildiog adjoining, which was owned and occupied by D. Stein er as a billiard ball, and tbat, too, was consumed, and with it three bil liard tables and most of tbe fixtures. The large Hoover livery stable, aud Dr. Beck's office, located near the fire, were with greatest difficulty saved. Mr. Heosel had, we understand, something like $4,000 insurance on bis property, which will fairly cover his loss. Mr. Steioer's loss will run close to $2,000, but whether or not be had any insurance our informant could not say. Tbe origin of the fire is not known. Engineer Moriarty again comes in for a large share of praise for prompt and efficient service at the fire, having supplied tbe bucket brigade with sev eral tanks of water from the railroad lank. later. Since the above was put in type the following additional par ticulars have come to band : Nooe of Mr. Hensel's household goods were saved, -the family barely escaping from tbe upper story in time to save tbeir lives. He also lost bis pocket book which contained $300 in cash, and about $500 in notes and checks. His iosurauce was $3,300, wbicb only partially covers his loss. Mr. Steiner had no insurance whatever on his property. Losses on the Clarion River. Tbe ice went out of Clarion river with a rush and burrah Monday morning, taking with it all tbat lay in its way. There were more than 25 boats lying in the river at the bridges, and all but three went with the swell ing tide. The principal owners are the Maple Creek Lumber Co., but a few were tbe property of others wbo had trusted to tho small freshet two months ago. T. W. Raioe had placed a boiler for a saw mill at the mouth of Toby, and it went out also. Clarion Jacktonian. The Clarion Republican gives this account of tbe flood and some of the losses sustained : Owners of tbe boats and timber scattered along the stream recognized the necessity of protecting tbeir prop erty, and men were hastily hired to assist in carrying this into effect, by trying to keep these boats and rafts safely moored to tbe shores. But the river continued to rise, the ice floated thicker and faster, heavy topes or lines were but as whip cords, and one by one tbe boats aud rafts were torn from their lashings, and when daylight on Monday morning arrived thousands of dollars worth of this valuable property was floating with the ragiog torrent toward tbe Alle gheny river, some to be completely demolished in the crash and vurreut. Tbe loosers in this section are : Maple Creek Lumber Company, Forest county, 5 boats; Peter Ileff ron, Forest county, 3 boats ; W. W. O'Neil, Clarion 1 boat ; Daniel Stei ner, Scotch Hill, 1 boat; Mr. Wal lace, Forest county, 3 boats. Mr. O'Neil bad several boats moor ed in this uoigbborhoud, but succeed ed in saving all but tbe one mention ed above. He was oo this ooe try ing to save it when it broke lose from tbe bauk, and made a very narrow eacajie from being carried along dowu the river with it, aud probably losing bis life. Heavy cakes of ice were gorged in against tbe boat, and Mr O'Neil was endeavoring to open a channel to let these pass through, wbeo, without the least warning, the heavy ropes wilb which it was tied snapped in two, and the boat sbot out ioto the stream. Night had arrived, the gloom being greatly increased by the drzzling rain that was falling, tbe lantern Mr. O'Neil held in his hand casting a lurid glare over tbe surroundings. Realizing on tbe instant tbat all hope for saving the boat was gone, aud that bis position was very hazzardous, be hastily surveyed bis surroundings for a cbance to escape. The boat by this time bad floated down the river probably one hundred yards, and was gradually getting farther from shore, when his eye caught a white streak of snow, some ten or twelve feet from the boat, running shoreward, and kuowiog that it covered a solid sur face be sprang for it, and alighted on a large rock, that jutted quite a dis tance into the river. Persons who witnessed tbe affair bad little hopes of bis ever coming out of ibe place alive. During Tuesday the river was full of square timber, logs, boards and portions of rafts, showing that the damage done in the upper river was as great if not greater than in this immediate vicinity, and tbat the loss will ruo ioto the thousands of dollars. On Tuesday the water was clear of ice, but it still remained high, regis tering in tbe morning ten feet above the low water mark. Several of the owners of the lost boats and lumber started down the river on Tuesday morning to learn, if possible what bad become of their property. KellcttTillc. Considerable excitement was manifest ed here during the high water of last week. On Monday the rain come down in a gradual fall, and in the afternoon tho tho people who lived on the low lands were seen making preperationg for an old time flood. About all the men that live on the west side or Brooklyn as it is called did not rest mucb, butall wait ed In anticipation of the bridge going out. At about 3:46 a. ni. Tuesday the ice dart ed from Buck Mills pond, and at 4:00 the bridge went on tbe west sido of the is land, the ice stopping back of the island. At 10:30 a. -m. tbe same day one of the finest ice gorges that ever passed this place, wont by, filling the creek with ice for a period of two and a half hours. The Ice was gorged at "Frog Rock," and a half dozen of the town boys went up to see it, and just as they had reached the gorge the large amount of damed-up water started the gorgo, and the boys started at a 2:40 gait to be first at Kellet villo. The run was about two miles, and the boys say they did their best, but the ice beat them here. The ice passed here at a 7-mile-an-hour pace and did not stop as has been reported. The water was in several of the buildings on the west side but no damage was done. If the Ice had stopped at "Crooked chute," as every one thought it would, tbe water and ico would bave certainly done considerable damage to property of both sides of the stream, but tho water being so high and running at such a rap Id rate, the ice did not get time to stop. The Minister flats are covered with ice to to a depth of two feet, and extends three fourths of a mile in length. The bridge spanning little Minister was carried away by the water. At the passing of tho last gorge the ico on the east side of the island started out and the bridgo was taken at that point. Salmon Creek, true to its naturo, was on an old time boom, and considerable damage was done to Kribbs & Fleming's logs. The logs were piled in large heaps and the water was so high the piles were carried down tbe stream and turned crosswise and jammed up so as to make it quite difficult to raft them. Two-mile bridge was taken out and, aside from this no other damage is reported. Uorton, Johnson A Co. have built a ferry-boat and will have it in running order to-ilay, Tuesday. The bridge was built by C- A. Howe, Supt. of the tannery, 5 or 6 years ago. Lost summer the bridge, which was built of pileing, became unsafe and the Road Commissioners replanked and fitted it up at a cost of about $200 to the Township. Tho citizeus on Monday commenced to build a temporary bridgo, and tbey ex pect to have it completed in a week. A few af the people here were heard to express the wish that it would be a good thing if the ice would take the bridge. Now that it Is gone one sees how benefi cial it was to the place. A bill will be before the next Grand Jury for the building of a bridge at this place, to be a county bridge. It is not known yet whether we stand any chance of getting a county bridge, but as this township is so heavily in debt, an appeal will be made to see what can be done. Chas. Andrew s was home on a visit from Grove City. The gas company's main lino, that crosses the creek in front of W. A. Kribb's livery stable, was broken by the ice and tbe pipe filled with water, and the poople on the east side were without gas for a few days. Will Walks. School Reports. tionesta school 5th month.

Slater, of Tidiouto, a promi nent lumberman, diod Sunday of last week. Hugh O'Donnel, leader of the Home stead strike, was placed on trinl Mon day morning for murder. It Is un derstood that no attempt will bo mado to prove an abibl, as was done In tho cases of Critchlow and Clifford, who wore ac quitted, but that an entire new line of aeionce has been decirtod upon. Great interest 1 manifested in the trial on ac count of the prominent part taken In the strike by O'Donnell.- O'Donnoll has been In jail ever since he surrendered to the authorities, bail having been rofused. An oil well has Just been finished at Romaiii. In Russia, which yields more oil than the combined output of the en tire Southwest district. It started off at 60,000 bbls. a day. A surprising feature of the phouomonal well is that Remain Is in the oii fields where drainage has been more or less constantly going on for years. The daily production of tbe Russsian fields is aiithoratively stated to be 170,000 bbls. Geysers such as the Rnmain well are admirably calculated to cause the sturdy phlegmatic Baku pro ducer to feel his oats. They seem to be able to find phenomenal oil gushers over there in Russia with astonishing frequen cy aud and alarming ease. Derrick. "Whother you handle a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set ot books, dig ditches or edit a paper, ring an auction bell or write funny things, you must work," says a self-made man. "If you look around you, you will see that the men who are most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men that work the hardest. Don't be alraid of killing yonrsolf with work. It isbeyond your power to do that. Work gives an appetite for meals; it lends solidity to your si umbers ; it gives the appreciation of a holiday. The busier you are, the loss deviltry you will got into, the sweet er will be your sleep, and the bettor sat isfied the world will be with yon." Ex. There's so much "antl-criuoline" talk It In in a fair way to have the usual effect, and we need not be surprised to see ro vlval of the feminine skirt of vast cir cumference. One day the world is in formed that an anti-crinoline league has been formed iu Boston ; the next day it is reported that 10,000 influential women of England have signed a protest against the introduction of crinoline; and next day a statesman in the Minnesota Legis lature has submitted a bill prohibiting hoop skirts. All this sort of thing is likely to have the same result as the ad monition of Sam Weller to the cabmen not to put a certain offender's head un der the pump. The suggestion promptly resulted in a rush to tho pump. Frauk lin News. The winter of 1802-3 will be memorable as the one of most widespread severity known in this generation. In this coun try there has been more severe and con tinued cold than for many years, and in the far South there bas been an unusual amount of snow and freezing weather. There bas been snowballing on the streets of Savannah, heavy snow in Texas and frequent sharp freezing in northern Flo rida. All Europe, from the Artie circle to the Mediterranean, has experienced a most distressing and unusual wintry se verity. It Is necessary to go back forty or fifty years in most regions to find a precedent. In Austria and Hungary the cold bas been more intonso than in any winter since 1849. At Buda-Postli tho mercury has marked 20 degrees bolow zero. Franklin News. "Take care of your stomachs, boys," was the advice of tho late Judge James Campbell to a company of young Phila delphia lawyers with whom ho was chatting. The conversation had turned to the subject of longevity. "To what do you attribute your long lifoT" asked one of the company of the octogenarivn. "To a weak stomach," replied Mr. Camp bell with bis usual kindly smile and a humorous twinkle. " A weak stomach f ' ' "Yes, a weak stomach," reiterated the the old gontloman. "You see, I realized 40 years ago that I had it, aud started in to take care of it. As a result I establish ed regimen that bas resulted beneficially to not only my Btomach but my wholo system ; and here I am to-day over 80. Take caro of your stomachs, boys, and your stomach will take care of you." Reference was recently mado to a ty pographical error on the new one-cent Columbus postage stamp, an "R" instead of a "B" in "Columbus," but a greater blunder still has been found. On the one-cent stamp Columbus is pictured in sight of land, standing on the dock of his vessel. He is represented there as a smotu shaven man, not a sign of a beard boing visible On tho two-cent stump Columbus is shown as landing on Sun Sulvador, holding aloft the banner of Castile, with a full beard I As only a few hours elapsed betweeu the time he sight ed land and the landing, his beard out stripped Jonah's gourd completely. This will be a grand opportunity for u hair vigor company.
