Knox, aged, 16 years, and 1Q days. The subject of this notice was-called away in the morning of life, when the thoughts and Aspirations were pure aud holy, and the heart was filled with the soul-inspiring joys of childhood. Her illness was of short duration. That fatal malady, pneumonia, carried her quickly to her grave. She was a young lady of promise, sweet and amiable in her disposition, which en deared her to all lor friends end schoolmates. She was a child of the Sabbath School, in it she learned something of the cross and its sweet ness, which enabled her, before her de parture to express a desire to "depart and bo with Christ, which is far bet ter." Let ns all hear the monitory voice : '"Be ye also ready." 'Oh, to be ready whoa death shall oomet Oh, to be ready to hasten home; No earthward clinging, No lingering gii.e, No stop at parting, No sore amaso. No cloud like phantom to fling a gloom 'Twlxt heaven's bright portals, and earth's dark tomb, But sweetly, gently to pass away From the world's dim twilight, into day." The funeral services take place this afternoon at two o'clock, at the Pres byterian Church? Her remains will be taken to the church at 12 o'clock, where all wishing may see them. C. J. Fox, well anJ favorably known to a great many of our citizens, aud especially to the lumbermen of this vicinity, disd at Jamestown, en Monday of last week. Mr. tux was for many years a resident oi this county, and at one timolield theoflice of Treasurer. 8. J. Wolcott Esq., was la towc last week, looking well himself, and reporting all his folks in tho same ooodition. Mr. Wolcott informed us that be would probably , move back to this place before another year. If he does be may rest assured that he will be heartily welcomed by all. Considerable moving ' took place on Saturday last, but wo were notable to ascertain just who the parties were, or where they moved to." Miss S. A. Dale took possession of the house which she purchased a day or two ago, situated immediately south ot' the Forest House. 1 Win. Killmer, who vacated the house, moved into the buildiug just below Il islet's. , Prof. J. U. Ogden has started a singing class in this place, and judg ing from what the members say, it is progressing finely" The Prof, comes here highly rocom mended as a music teacher. lie teaches all the different branches of music, such as piano, or gan, violin, vocal Ac. Tionesta has long felt the need of a first-class music teacher, and now that there is one among us he should be properly pat rouized, aud we have no doubt but that he will be. Mr. Ogden intends closing the term with an entertain nient. His singings are held In the Universalist church, while he is stop picg at the Tiouesta House. His terms are very reasonable, aud he guarantees satisfaction la every 'case. Capt. Jocob Kepler, Delegate to Lancaster from forest County, re turned home last Tuesdav. His inti mate personal acquaiutance with United States Senator William A Wallace, aud all the other leading men of .the party, put him at once into the foreground and rendered him a prominent figure. He was probably one of the most marked delegates present, nod had undoubtedly much influence in shaping the action of the Conveutmn. in a word, he was, in manner, looked up to by the memberSj and his views and wishes were respect ed, consulted, aud carried great weight in the deliberations of the body.- norm iresa. Yea, that is undoubtedly true, for he says so himself. The Capt., un doubtedly run that convention just to suit himself, as the result of it looks very much like some of his work Quite strange, however, that he did not head the Pa. delegation to St. Louis. The delegates from this Congress ioual district, to iho National Repub 1'icao Conventiou, are, 11. Ruluffson of Clarion, and Simon Truby of Indiana Co. Alternates, J3. Lt.

Republican: We again write you with all the glories of wp(cr around us, but with a sense of future foolishness; true, no one can toll what the morrow may bring forth, we prediot a flush of April fools. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wales started for New York on Monday; they in tend making their home at Portville, that State, for a time at least. Homer Towner was afflicted with a serious sore throat and cold for uearly a week; we are glad to see him around again. . Several petty thefts have occured n the neighborhood lately, of pro visions and bed clothing. Hard times do not cover such offenses. One load of Mr.. Harringtons household goods passed through here yesterday bound for Edenburg. We consider him a truer prophet than the ground-hog; he was sure of sleighing enough to finish hauling the sawed lumber, and so there is, almost. Hope he will come back to sun himself oc casionally. ' We bad the pleasure of meeting Mr. McCrayaud wife, now of Tionesta, yesterday. Miss June Biggins is about to re turn to her home, after a quite lengthy visit; the young people will regret her departure, in the words of that good old tune,' "March is not so pleasaut as June." , While coasting this morning, Charley Bush was thrown into a briar bush and had his face and hands bad ly scratched. Dr. Bollus treated the injured members to a bath of soap and water; patient is doing fiuely. - I Db Clare. Southern Travels. On the 16th of February, we arose from our slumber, with a sore throat, which we proceeded to lubricate in the prevailing Southern fashion, und wast ed some powder at pelicaps and plume birds. The old sailor cooked break fast for us, and we bid him farewell and started on. ' ' After getting through the Narrows, we ran upon several oyster beds, but as the wind was not very stiff, and our boat was strong, we suffered no iucon veuience except Laving to get iulo the water to shove the boat off. Ou ac count of the small size of our boat, and the large amount of luggage there in, we didn't take in any oysters, but we were assured by several reliable parties, that those taken here were superior to any tbey had ever seen elsewhere. Shortly after leaving the Narrows, we pass St. Lucie P. 0., which is about a mile and a half Noith of In dian River Inlet. Here lives old man Payne, who is postmaster; Jim, his son, who is Collector of the Port, and another son, who raises cattle in the neighborhood. The old man bears hard name amoug the neighbors, as a crusty and cross old cuss. It is said, (although just how much of the story is fact, and how much fancy we don't pretend to know) that the old map on one occasion, some years ego, .went down to Jupiter, took the man out of the lighthouse, stole all the oil, and waited patieotlyr7vr.aouae vessel to come ashore on account of the absence of the light. All we know of him is, that he will not sell northerners, bread, flour, ur anything else, uuless they will board with him, and pay 9250 per day therefor. The Inlet is about a hundred yards wide, is five to eight feet deep, and is a good place to catch fish. There is not very much sailing done through the inlet, because boats that are use ful on the sea, would at once stick on the oyster bars if they came in; while those used on the river are not of much use on the high seas. At Bell's, just opposite, we stopped from about eleven o cluck until four. Cooked some very sad flapjacks, and some good coll'ee aud pork. While cooking, along came a "cracker," who was acquainted with Paget, aud he ate dinner with us, evidently relfcbiug those sad flapjacks as a rare treat. The cracker is a character. His wautsare few, and easily supplied: A littl meal, a little pork.uod a little whisky and he M as near happy as lie ever gets un this earth ; but lie (icrer smiles His look is always mclaucoly, and nothing appears to ustuiiioh him as much as to hear a good hearty laugh. The men nil drink'; the women all smoke, but that's as near as they ever come to levityr'They are not ambi tious. Ctesar's death, according Bru tus, was caused by ambition. Now if 11 the ambition of all the "crackers" o Florida, were condepsed and hypo- dermically injected into m cockroach, that animal's death would never, di rectly or indirectly, be attributed, to aiiibilion. . . . , continued next week. Western Correspondence. Lone Rock. Richland Co., Wis. March, m 1876 Ed. Republican: Thinking that a short letter from this locality would interest some of your readers, I would mention the fact that we can at this date enjoy the privileges of a sleigh ride, for snow fell on the 17tb inst., to the doplli of flfloen inches, consequently the young people are making up lost time, acd horse flesh has to suffer. This present month has been the most severe winter month of the season. On the 18th nst., wo were visited with a severe thunder and snow storm combined, in fact, nothing of the kind has ever been witnessed. During the afternoon of the above date, dark clouds rolled up from the west, and incessant flashes of Jlchtning accompanied with con stant roar of (bunder and wind; beiug one of the severest storms ever known in th's locality. Ia the adjoining counties, south of this, Iowa and Grant; great damage to property was done, also with great loss of hie. Some fourteen persons were killed, and twenty severely injured. Buildings were destroyed, and dwellings, in some instances, were carried ten or fifteen rods, and fur miles the country laid waste. A thriving village was nearly totally destroyed, and in one or two instances, whole families were either killed or crippled for life. In sym pathizing with our fiiends in Grant Co., we feel thaukful that no serious injuries were done in this imed'ate locality, and our people have 6hown their generosity by leuding a helping hand to the unfortunate and needy ones. .(.'- "Crooked Whiskey" trials ; ap pear to attract considerable atteutiou here, and as Milwaukee has had her share of such characters they are be ing handled pretty rough; and I would state right here that uine-tenths of thoe connected in this nefarious plot are "rale ould ' democrats." This whiskey ring cannot be charged to the Republicau Party . in Wisconsin. When I examine the record of the Democrat Party, for the last fifteen years, I feel proud in saying that I never in a single Instance have thrown my influence in favor of it. I have served Uncle Sim in the late war as a true Republican, and intend to work for the interest of the party in the future. , I am happy to notice your safe re turn from your Southern tour, for I know it will be another spike driven to nail your . principles to the people of the "ould keystone." The Legulatur of this State ha.1 repealed the jnfacaous "Potter Law," which was gotten up by the Granger political party of this State one year ago, and as .you pre aware this law was to control our Railroads. So far as that was concerned it did well enough, but they went so far as to legislate compelling the Railroad Companies to keep up the roads and carry freight and passengers at lower rates than they could afford to; conse quently the companies discharged many of their laborers, and in every way the laboring class ware the suf ferers, for the benefit of a few specula tors. As it may interest same of your readers, I would state we intend to be represented in the Great Ceutennial Exhibition, and our Slute has appro priated twenty thousand dollars, and a large lump of mineral was shipped from this locality a few days ago, weighing ovcrsixteen hundred pounds, to be placed on exhibition at the great fuir. Markets are rather dull at present. Wheat. iO cts., pur pushel; corn, 20 to 25 els., and other produce in pro portion to the above prices. The Temperance question is now causing some excitement, and many of our "old topers are taking the pledge, to abstain from getting eu their customary spree. I hupa they will prove true, for liquor is injuring ruauy of our but anil smartest men, and I think it hi'-h time we were do ing something iu the west to stop the wnutKey iraiuc. More anon, N. B.
