PIED. At Tionesta, April 3, Miss Sallle
Knox, third daughter of Cap, aad Mrs.
I). 8. Knox, sgei4 14 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 jnys of childhood.
Her illuess 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 her friends and
schoolmates. She was a child of the
Sabbath School, in it she learned
something of the cross and its sweet
uess, which enabled her, before her de
parture to express a desire to "depart
and be with Christ, which is far bet
ter." Let us all hear the monitory
voice : ''Be ye also ready."
"Oh, to be ready whoa death shall oom
Oh, to be ready to hasten home;
No earthward clinging.
No lingering gnca,
No step at parting,
No sore amazo.
No cloud like phantom to fling a gloom
'Twlxt heaven's bright portals, and earth's
dark tomb, -
But sweetly, gently to pans away
From tho 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 an J favorably
knowu to a great many' of our citizens,
and especially to the lumbermen of
this viciuity, disd at Jamestown, en
Monday of last week. Mr. Fox was
fur many years a resident of this
couuty, and at one timelield theotiice
ufTreasure r. "
8. J. Wolcott Esq., was a town
last week, looking well himself, and
reporting all his folks in tbo same
oqndition. Mr. Wolcott informed us
that be would probably move back to
this place before another year. If he
does be may rest assured , thai he will
be heartily welcomed by all.
Considerable moving ' took place
on Saturday last, but wo were not able
to ascertain just who the parties were,
or where they moved to. " Misa S. A.
Dale took possession of the house
which sbe purchased a day or two ago,
situated immediately south uY" the
Forest House. Wm. Kil liner, who
vacated the house, moved into the
building just below H 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 finelyT The Prof, comes
here highly recommended as a music
teacher. He teaches all the different
branches of music, such ai piano, or
gan, violin, vocal &c. 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
ment. His singings are held In the
Universalist church, while he is stop
picg at the Tionesta House. His
terms are very reasonable, and he
guarantees satisfaction n every 'case.
Capt. Jncob Kepler, Delegate to
Lancaster from Forest County, re
turued home last Tuesday. His inti
mate personal acquaintance with
United States Senator William A.
Wallace, aud all the other leading
men of the party, put hioi at once into
the foreground and rendered him a
prominent figure. He was probably
one of the most marked delegates
present, and bad undoubtedly much
influenoa in shaping the action of the
Convention. In a word, he was, in a
manner, looked up to by the members,
and his views and wishes were respect
ed, consulted, aud carried great weight
in the deliberations of the body.
Forest Press.
Yes, that is undoubtedly true, for
he says so himself. The Capt., un
doubtedly ruu 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
nut head the Pa. delegation to St.
Louis.

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 tell what the morrow may
bring forth, we predict 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 fur nearly
a week; we are glad to see him around
again.
Several petty thefts have occured
in 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 had the pleasure of meeting
Mr. MuCrayaud wife, now of Tionesta,
yesterday.
Miss June Siggius is about to re

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, and wast
ed some powder at pelicans and plume
birds. . The old sailor cooked break
fast for us, and we bid him farewell
and started on. i j
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 incon
venience 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 wore assured by several reliable
parties, that those taken here were
superior to any they had ever seen
elsewhere.
Shortly after leaving the Narrows,
we pass St. Lucie P. 0., which is
about a mile and a half North of In
dian River Iulot. 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 a
hard name among 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 man on
one occasion, tome years ago, -weut
dowu to Jupiter, took the man out of
the lighthouse, stole all the oil, and
waited patientlyf7roine yessel to
come ashore on account of ths absence
of the light. All we know of him is,
that he will nut sell northerners, bread,
flour, or anything else, uuless they will
board with him, and pay (2 50, 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 ou
the oyster bars if they came in; while
those used on the river are not of much
use on the high seas.
At Boll's, just opposite, we stopped
from about eleven o'clock until four.
Cooked some very sad flapjacks, and
some good coffee aud pork. While
cookiug, along came a "cracker," who
was acquainted with Paget, aud he ate
dinner with us, evidently relftliiug
those sad flapjacks as a rare treat. The
cracker is a character. His wauts are
few, aud easily supplied : A little
meal, a little pork, aud a little whisky,
aud he is as near happy as he ever
gets on this curth ; but lie never smiles.
His look is always mtJuucoly, and
nothing appears lu astonish him as
much as to hear a good hearty laugh.
The meu all drink'; the women all
smoke, but that's as near as they ever
come to levity. ""They are nol ambi
tious. Ctcsar's death, according Bru
tus, was caused by ambition. Now if
all the ambition of all the "crackers"
in Florida, were condensed and hypo
dermically injected into a oockroach,
that aolmal's death would never, di
rectly or indirectly, be attributed to
ambition. , . ,

Western Correspondence.
Lone Rock, Richland Co., Wm., )
March, 28. 1876. J
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 17th inst., to the depth of
fifteen inches, consequently the young
people aro making up lost time, at:d
horse flesh has to suffer. This present
month has been the most severe winter
month of the season. On the 18th
inst., wo were visited with a severe
thunder and suow 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 iticessaut flashes
of lightning accompanied with con
stant roar of thunder and wind; being
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 life. 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 Graut
Co., we feel thaukful that no serious
injuries were done in this imed:ate
locality, and our people have shown
their generosity by lending a helping
hand to the unfortunate and needy
ones, i .',.
"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 roughs and I would
Btate right here that nine-tenths of
those 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 S tra 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 fruqj your Southern tour, for I
know it will be another spike driven
to nail your '. principles to the people
of tha "ould keystone." '
The Legislature of this State haj
repealed the infamous "Potter Law,"
which was' gotten up by the Granger
political party of this State one year
ago, and . as .you , ore 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 passnngers at lower
rates than they could afford to; conse
quently the companies discharged
many of their laborers, and in every
way the laboring class were the suf
ferers, for the benefit of a few specula
tors. As it may interest some of your
readers, I would state we intend to be
represented in the Great Ceuteunial
Exhibition, and our State has appro
priated twenty thousand dollars, and
a large lump of miuerul was shipped
from this locality a few days ago,
weighing over sixteen, hundred pounds,
to be placed on exhibition at the great
fuir.
Markets are rather dull at present.
Wheat. '0 cts., pur pushel; corn, 20
to 25 cts., 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 en
their cu.-ttoiuary spree, I bopa tbry
will prove true, for liquor is injuring
ruauy of our bwt and smartest men,
and I think it high time we were do
ing snmelhiug iu the west to stop the
whiskey trallic.
