"Blessings .brighten as they take their flight." Marshal McMahon has resigned the Presidency of the Republic of France, and M. Grevy baa been elect ed in his stead.

It will undoubtedly be a grand adkir. ' On Wednesday night last tho ice stoppedjiere, and backed up until it was feared that the flats would bo Hooded.

'J Death of Laura Winans Mitchell. Rev. E. D. McCreary informs us by tatter, on Monday, of tho death of Mrs. Mitchell, daughter of the late Dr. Winans .of this place, w hich oc curred in Jamestown, Pa., on Sunday last. We are without particulars. Although sho has been in rather poor health for a year or two past, her death was unexpected. Her many friends in this, tho homo of her girl hood, will be grieved to hear of her early demise. Death of William Hunter. Last week we announced that the news had come to town that Mr. Wm. Hunter, one of the old pioneers of this section had died a few day3 prevously. We have since Icarntd that he died on Wednesday morning last aged 85 years and 1 month. William Hunter was born in West moreland Co., in 1794, and came to this place w ith his father Poland Hun ter, in 1798, aged about 4 years. Him self and his sister, afterward Mrs. Dustin, were suspended in bnskels on each side of a pack horse. His father built a log hoiife on tho Island known as Hunter's Island. Until 1812, he iu common with the rest of the fimily worked at raising grain and vegetables for the support of the family. In January of 1812, his brothers con cluded that they would enlist for the war, and started off crossing the river in a canoe, leaving William at home, deeming him too young to go along frith them. He, however had different ideas, and after they had gone he waded the river barefoot at Dustin Riflle, and caught up with his broth ers at Titusville. Here old Col. Titus noticing his bare and bruised feet, male him a pai-r of moccasins, and he joined his brothers on thetr tramp to Erie, where all entered the service, and remained until the war elosod. He received a couple of land warrants from the Government for his services. He made an application for a pension, and was in a fair way of getting it when he was taken 6ick. He and his brother David built the Hunter mill, opposite this place, the first gri3t mill on tho river between Franklin and Warren. He was well-known as a pilot and waterman along the river, in fact, was one of the first pilots ou the river. Ha was the father of six teen children, five of whom are dead. Of tho eleven who are living, ten were at the bedsflle of the old veteran when he died. The deceased was a mem ber of the M. E. Church, and died in the faith, confident of his reward. The church in this place always had a warm place in his affection, he having given 8150 toward the erection of the church, nnd $50 to the building of the stouo wall iu front of the lot. After tho death of his wife, Sarah Range Hunter, be had a monument erected for her and himself, with Bimply the date of his death left vacant. He was the last of his family, all his brothers and sisters dying before him. Tiones ta na3 his residence until 1865, when he sold out, aud removed to Erie County, near Mill Village. Geo. S. Hunter, his son, informs us that he sold some of .his father's lands for $1000 per acre. He left quite a prop erty, which is to be disposed of in ac cordance with a will which ho had drawn up some timo previous to bis death. His many old friends and ac quaintances will regret to hear of his death. His history is part of the his tory of this section, and his memory will live while Tionesta has a name. Mr. L. L. Culbertsou, of the Ti tusville Herald died of typhoid fever on Sunday last, and his remains were interred in Oil City yesterday. He was aged only 22 years, but hal gain ed an enviable reputation as an editor. He was a young man of admirable character, and his loss is sincerely mourned by a largo circle of friends. The photograph boat "City of Corry," which laid here until late in the fall, was at President when the ice went out, and was carried away with the gorge. It was caught aud tiad up two miles below Kittauning, iu a rath er damaged condition. The Post Ofiice at St. Petersburg was burglarized on Sunday night and money, merchandize and postage stamps to the amount $200 were taken. The thievts are yet at large. Notice. Owing to our recent loss by f!re we request tlue indebted to us to tall k.nd make immediate payment. 45-St J. II. DrmtKHO.v & Co. Tho rioainntvillo. Odd Fellows, to tho number of thirty or more, paid Tionesta Lodge a visit on last Friday evening. They came in sleds, and were received with open arms by their Tionesta brethren. After the work of the Lodge was done (which was participated in by tho Pleasantville crowd), speeches were made by Messrs. Barber, Hutch and Picket, of the vis iting Lodge, and Noble Grand, S. D. Irwin replied in the following lines, which were received with applause: Ei-others of our mystic, rite, We fircet each one, wo hail you all, Assembled in ourLodgo to-night, "Thanks for your friendly call." . Not sedate, sad, prim or demure, In robes of darkest hue, But in vestures bright and pure, With open hands wc welcome 3-011. And now may no consuming care, Enslave our minds while here we stay, But free untrameled as the air, We'll pass tho merry hoirs away. Hero may Friendship oft appear, With 'Truth and Liovo companions bright, And joy and mirth bo also near, And lend to evening's hours delight. Now, brothers of our nnstie. rite, Wo great eaeli one, wo hail you all, Assembled in our hull this night, We thank you for j'our frindly call. After the lodge closed the party were escorted to the Ceutral Houpe, where a repast, consisting of oysters with all tho et ccteras awaited them. The supper was enjoyed by all, and the Pleasantville brethren departed well pleased with their reception, ex lending a warm invitation to the Tio nesta brothers to return the visit. They are a fine-looking set of men, and evi dently good Odd Fellows. Whig Hill Letter. Whig Hill, Feb. 3, 79. En. Rei-uemcan : We have been having an interesting time at this pla :e. Prof. S. C. Schnell gave us some valuable lectures on phrenology, which we believe were very beneficial to the most of us. Charles Grove has move! to hi3 former residence, on one of C. F. Gil lespie's farms, where ho proposes stay ing for a year or so, to clear and im prove 6ome land for Mr. Gillespie. M. Grove, the water-drinker of Hickory, is driving team for Klinstiver. Five of Natlwn Burdick's family are sick with diphtheria ; but one of them is dangerous, and it is hoped that all will recover speedily. There is talk of building a church on the Hill next summer, but connot say whether we will accomplish it or not. The roads tro in jrood condition for hauling; the rains did not injure them in the least, so business is as good as formerly with our lumbermen. Faithfjlly, D&ck. Hickory Buds. Our village is still prospering, notwithstanding we have more than the usual amount of sickness. Mr. F. Witherell is recovering from an attack of typhoid fever. The rest of the sick are rapidly convalescing. We notice through the columus of your valuable paper, that au effort is rife to secure legislation protecting our wild game; seud on your petition to which we will affix our signatures cheerfully. Our village blacksmith, Mr. Andy Etnmett, has closed his shop, and re moved to Collins' mill. T. J. Bowman is still to be found at his old stand, where any person wishing anything in his line may call with profit. Our young fulks are spending their evenings listening to Prof. Schnell, of Clarion, and having their fortunes told, as phrenology doth tejl it. Omikron. GOOD SEXSE Teaches us to prove all things.
