OBITUARY.
DIEH. At Tlonestr, April 3, Miss Rallie
Knox, third daughter of Capt. aad Mrs.
I). 8. 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

. Lacytown Correspondence.
'' ' " Lacytown, Mar. 31, 1876. -
Ed. 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. . . . ,

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.
