In the year 1840, he removed to Clarion county, where he re mained until the spring of 1852, whon he moved to Clariugton, Forest Co., where he engaged in lumbering for several years, when he was elected Sheriff of Forest county, serving a term of three years. Mr. Mays was an active citizen, always working for the benefit of his fellow cit izens, and an earnest temperance worker. Ha was converted when twenty years of age and has since lead a most devoted christian life. After a lingering illness of oighteou mouths which he bore with utmost pa tieuce and cheerfulness, as he approached the valley of death, hia face became il lumined with the light reflected from the Heavenly shore, aud on the evening of Dec. Hi, 1890, he left his earthly friends that ho might meet his Savior and the loved ones who had preceded him. He asked the ones he was leaving not to mourn, as he was only going on before and he would watch over them. He passed away without a struggle, and the calm, peaceful expression resting on his face showed plainly where his hope was anchored. Deceased was married to Clara Arm strong in Feb. 5, 1853. He was the father of seven children, two boys and live girls. Five children survive him : Mrs. Lucretia Thomas of Kane, Pa.; Mrs. Ef ne Aber of Pittsburg; Mrs. Alice Slaugh eniwtrUpt of Clarington ; Milton Mays, a successful oil operator of Butler, and William Mays of Clariugton.

Ono of the most enjoyable social events of the season oocurrod last Wednesday evening, when Capt. Geo. Stow Post, 274, G. A. R., and the auxiliary Woman's llolief Corps, No, 137, bold their annual installation of officers. It was not what could be called a public installation, as invitations were extended only to the members of the families of those be longing to the Post and Corps and to the A. O. 17. W., who so kindly donate the use of tho hall to the Corps. The installation ceremonies com menced at 8 o'clock, the officers of the Corps being first installed, Capt. D. S. Knox acting as Installing ofllcer. This was the main feature of the evening and the ladies participating carried out their several parts in a remarkably creditable manner, and as was remarked during tho evening, went through their work with much more military bearing than was shown by the veterans. The only draw back to the enjoyment of the evening was the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Kato B. Craig, the re-elected President, who was unable to attend on account of illness. Her place was very ably filled by Mrs. Dr. J. W. Morrow, wlio was . temporarily installed as President. The installation exercises of the W. R. C. are beautiful and impressive and were thoroughly enjoyed by all present. After the Installation of the W. R. C. officers a short intermisniou was had, af ter which the officers of the Post were installed by Capt. H. U. Cummings of Tidioute, who has probably had as much experience in this line of work as any man in the Slate, and it Is needless to say everything moved along with clock-work regularity. After the installation of the officers of the Post came the customary banquet. We are not going to attempt to go into details about this feature of the evening, for, first,, "" we did, everybody that was not there would be mad, and second, it is not necessary, as most of our people know that when the W. R. C. gives a banquet there are no "halfway doin's" about it. Suffice it to ssy that if there were many dyspeptics present the Ine vitable result was "nightmares" enough to start another livery stable in town. After the banquet a "camp fire" was hold, Dr. J. W. Morrow acting as Chair man, when there was music by a quar tette composed of Messrs, Armstrong, Miles, Heath and Ritchey, a recitation by Miss Kittie Joyce, followed by an In teresting and instructive talk by Capt. Comings. Rev. R. A. Buzza then en tertained the assemblage by a song fol lowed by a complimentary address to members of the Post and Corps. Then there was more music by the quar tette and appropriate remarks by D. W. Clark, C. A. Hill, Capt. Knox, T. F. Ritchey, S. D. Irwin, S. J. Setley, G. W. Robinson and others. The meeting was then closed and all departed for their homes wishing that they could go to sleep until time for an other installation and banquet. ELI BERLIN POST INSTALLATION. The installation ol officers of Eli Berlin Post occurred at East Hickory, on Friday evening last. The hall was well filled from 6 p. in., until noarlj the small hours of the night. The well filled tables were patronized by the best people of Hickory and surrounding country ; in fact they took the matter in baud and made the aff air a financial as well as a social suc cors to llio "Old Boys." Our old friends and Comrades Knox and Dr. Morrow represented Tionesta, the former as In stalling officer. After the installation, which occurred about 10 o'clock, a short camp-lire was declared iu order. Com mander Berlin spoke very feelingly, thanking the post for the honor conferred upon him in placing him at the head of the noble little band of comrades. Com rade Berlin was really drafted into the Commander's chair, and will realize that Eli .Borlin Post was in earnest and will stand by him throughout the campaign of 1897. Comrade Knox next added a faggot to the fire which was well received Comrade Dr. Morrow was next called for and responded in his usual cheering manner; ho referred to tho close relation ship existing in the G. A. R., and espec ially the fraternity existing between the comrades of Posts 274 and 629, which met the heafty approval of every comrade. May these comrades be . spared to meet us muny times at our installations in the coming years. J. Albuugh, W. E, Witherell W. P, Siggins and J. E. Stonglitou responded ill short addresses. Past Commander S, Mervin gave an exhibition of the bayonet exorcise as In our drill of 1801. Siggins also went through the manual of arms- The comrades of Eli Berlin post desire to tender many thanks to their lady friends for the earnest assistance rendered by them on the occasion of this the third in stallation of Post officers also, to each ami every one of our many friends who so Ireely contributed to the success of the occasion by their presence and contribu tions. We fully realize that Eli llurliu Post is surrounded by a truly warm hearted and patriotic people. Long may thoy all live, prosper, and bo truly hap py. Comrade. MiaclalforU-lliihtntliul.

Last Thursday evening an alarm of fire was sfinnded on our streets for the first time in nearly a year. The scene of the conflagration was the Dithrldge house located on Smoky Hill south of town and ocenpiod by J. B. Eden. The house was so situated that the fire department could be of no assistance and as both Mr. and Mrs. Eden were In town at the time of the starting of the fire the building wss a complete mass of flame before anyone arrived npon the scone, consequently everything in the shape of household goods, provision, etc., was a total loss. No cause can be attributed except that of an over-pressure of gas. Their stoves wore supplied from the high-pressure line and it is presumed that their gas omoter got out of ordor in some manner and allowed too much gas to pass through. Two dogs, which were great pets of the owners, were burned to death. Mr. Eden Is a hard working, Industrious citizen and the loss comes very heavily upon him, but both he and his wife aka a very philosophical view of the situation and have spent no time in "ciylng over spilled milk," and have already gotten quite comfortably located in Jake Smear baugb's house at the south end of the creek bridge.
