The death of Mr. Hamilton Stow which occurred in Cincinnati on last Thursday, April 19, removed one who has always been held in highest es teem by the people of this placo and viciuity. Mr. Stow was born iu Windsor, N. Y. in 1800, but after ward removed to Olean, in the same state. From that place he came to Newtown, on Tionesta Creek in 1839. In 1851 he removed to Tionesta where he continued to reridetill 18R5, when he went to Cincinnati, in which city he lived till the time of his death. Through the extensive lumber bus iness which he carried on, Mr. Stow became widely known. He built the first gang sawmill at Newtown and afterward another at East Hickory, known as Stowtown. He was a mem ber of the firm of H. Stow & Co., and through him the purchase of these properties was made. For many years he furnished employment for a large number of men and really laid the foundation for the more perma nent settlement of the County. The interest he manifested in the men in his employ was more than that usual ly shown by employer for the employe. He had a care for their welfare in all things and was always ready to assist them by word of counsel, or by such gifts as they needed. In conse quence of this, be was highly respect ed by all who trusted him as a friend. In all his business dealings and rela tions, his integrity was never im peached; of him it has been said, "his word was as good as his bond." The farmer from whom he purchased grain and produce had the most im plicit confidence in Mr. Stow and es teemed him as their best friend. Many of them can relate instauces of kindness extended to them when they first settled in the neighborhood. He took a great interest in the public bcooIs and was a director for many years. He was instrumental, with others, iu having the academy build ing erected which was afterwards traosfered to ihe boro and was used for the public schools. Mr. Stow was thoroughly devoted to the welfare of the country. When the war of the Rebellion broke out he gave his sou George, who went out as a lieutenant in Co. G. of the 83rd Reg. Pa Vols. This eon, after whom the present G. A. R. Post of this place was named, was killed at the battle of Spotlsylvania. Mr. Stow was largely instrumental iu securing the men that formed that company, riding over much of this county making talks to the people and per suading the young men to enlist. He took care of the families thus depriv ed of their means of support, and canceled the accounts due him by any of those who enlisted. He kept in constant touch with the boys visiting them a number of times during the war. Wbeu the Rebel array bad en tered Pennsylvania and word came of the battle of Gettysburg he seut two nurses, Misses Shriver aud Brown lee to aid, comfort and care for tlm wounded, But it was in his Christian charac ter that Mr. Stow shines forth most couspicious. Uniting with the Pres byterian church at an early age he was always devoted to the cause of the Master whom he served. Both by precept and example he sought to adorn the Gospel he professed, and the influence he exerted for all that was true, noble aod good eternity on ly will reveal. He left the impress of his character upon the places where he lived. While living at Newtown, when he could not procure the services of a minister of his own denomination, he procured the ser vice of others, giving the use of his own house for such services. This he did largely for the sake of those iu his employ that their spiritual wants might uot be neglected. After coining to TiooeaU it was through Lis personal efforts a Sabbath School was organized of which he was the Superintendent. Later on he assisted in the erection of a Preshy. trriau house of worship and in the organization of a church of which be was elected a ruliug elder. Iu the church, as well as' as iu all benevolent objects, he was noted for his generous gifts. No worthy cause or deserving poor appealed to him in vaiu. His purse was as open where money was needed as his heart was where words of advice or Christian sympathy was desired. Truly a good man has fallen, but be leaves behind him a noble record and au influeuce for good that will loug survive hi in. "Blesed are the dead which died in the Lord from henceforth : yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do fol low then)." W. A.

Ibe heavy rains of Thursday eveiiimr caused tho creek to be somewhat swollen and on h riday two board rafts were run irom Salmon Creek. On Saturday three log rafts were started for the mouth nf tho creek but the water had fallen so that all the rafts became strandod at different places along tho creek.
