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.

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.

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. Ex. 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 ion Jtepablioan. 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.

Under a recent change in postal regulations unreceipted statements of accounts can be mailed in an unsealed envelope at a postage of one cent. To receipt a bill or to write upon It the words 'Tleaso remit" will however, subject it to letter rates of postage; but a request for remittance may be printed as a part of the heard. News paper publishers have the right to en close with their papers either receipted or unreceipted bills, but the addition of any written request will be treated as an infringmcut of the law.

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.
