Accidental Shooting.
Last Saturday evening, about G
o'clock, as we were returning from a
hunt after pigeons, in company with
Will Smearbaugh, and just as we had
got about halfway between the school
house aud J. II. Wentworth's farm on
the Tylersburg road, two miles from
town, Ae beard a very loud report of
a gun followed by tremendous yells of
murder I help I etc., down in the
hollow toward Mr. Reese's place. We
turned our horso and drove down the
Wilderness road in the direction of the
noise As we neared the place we met
a couple of boys coming up the road,
who told us that Martin Salsgiver had
accidently shot and kiiled his little
brothpr Andy, about 13 years of age,
and that the boy had been taken down
to Reese's house. Proceeding, we went
to the houso and upon opening the
door we beheld the little fellow lying
on the floor, the blood and brains
oozing out of his head until it had
formed a large pool, and yet the boy
was still living. After a few hurried
inquiries as to the cause of the acci
dent we hastened totowniud informed
Dr. Coburn, whom we met at the Law
rence House. It seems the youig
man, Martin, bis brother Mike, one of
Mr. Wentworth's boys and the unfor
tunate little boy had been out to shoot
pigeons as they were flying into the
roost, and while returning home con
cluded to shoot off their guns. Yeung
Weutworth pulled up his gun to shoot ;
Martin was standing near with his gun
lying on his left arm, while the little
boy was standing behind him. When
Wentworth's gun went off Martin says
his also was discharged striking the
boy a glancing shot on the right side
of the head, about the top of the ear,
knocking a piece of the skull out aud
leaving a hole about two inches long
and one inch wide.
Strange to say the boy is still living
at this writing, Tuesday evening, but
the doctor has no hopes of liis recov
ery. Although unconscious he seems
to realize pain, as, when the doctor
was feeling about his bead he wanted
to know who was pulling his hair. He
has also atked for water on one or two
occasions ; otherwise he does not speak
or recognize any one. His brother
can give no account of how bis gun
was discharged, but the theory is that
ho had his thumb on the hammer and
intended shooting off his gun about
the tame time his companion's was
discharged. The doctor thinks that
some of tho shot may have lodged in
the base of the skull.

The first number of W. R.
Dunn's new paper has, reached us. It
is published at a thriving town called
Crookston, in Polk Co., Minn., and is
a large eight-column sheet, gotten up
in handsome style. It is called the
Orookdon Cronicle; starts out with a
very good advertising patronage, and
bids fair to become one of the solid
institutions of that town. Mr. Dunn's
raauy friend in this county will be
glad to learn that he has again em
barked in tho printing busiuess under
such favorable auspices, and will wish
him abundance of prosperity. As for
us, we can most cheerfully and hearti
ly recommend him to the good citi
zens of Crookston as a man most worthy
of their patronage and good graces,
one whom they can safely tie to, and
the people of that place are to be con
gratulated upon their acquisition of
such an excellent citizen to their town.
Will., may prosperity and happiness
abide with you aud your house whilo
life shall last.

A new bather came to town on
Sunday evening last. , He weighs only
nine pounds, but Mr. Henderson
thinks he'll do first rate in the course
of time. Those over-curious young
ladies will not be disappointed if they
call around now to see tho youngster.
The following from the Brookville
Graphic-Democrat isn't so slow : "For
the latest news from Ohio, in regard
to the late election, peruse the Repub
lican journals. Our columns are too
much crowded with home news to
publish the happenings in other States."
The roof of Mrs. Jam's houso
caught fire from a spark on Monday,
and but for tho timely arrival of the
neighbors would have been beyond
control. Fate seems to be against
that building, this being about the
64th time it ha3 been on fire within
the last year.
Pigeons are scattered about pro
miscuously, and as yet have no regular
place of roosting or feeding. They
are increasing somewhat, and if the
weather remains good for a few weeks
will no doubt be here in Urge num
bers. "Pigeoners" are getting their
nets ready.
It will be gratifying to our lum
bermen to know that the price of
lumber is steadily anvancing, and by
spring will doubtless be from three to
five dollars higher per thousand than
last spring. Just now it would be a
gratification to know that we were
going to have a rafting flood before
winter sets in.

iujure any tree, vine, flower, grass, or
ornamental shrub, in any cemetery or
graveyard in the Commonwealth.

his sentence commuted to imprison
ment for life. It is altogether proba
ble he will never be hung.
The first installment of the beau
tiful snow dropped down upon us on
Thursday night last, to the dept'i of
about three inches. During Friday it
continuo J to storm, but subsided about
dark, and by Saturday noon was
nearly all gone. We may expect an
occasional spurt of the samo sort from
now on.
Mr. Jas. II. Hulings starts to-day
for Atchison, Kansas, where he will
join his brother-in-law, Henry Shoe
maker. Jim. has always been a great
favorite among the boys of Tionesta,
and there is not one who will be more
missed than he. That abundant suc
cess may attend you, Jim, is the with
of the Republican office. Give our
regards to Hen.
Mrs. W. W. Din ond of Cawker
City, Kansas, is paying her many
friends in thrs place a visit, expecting
to remain two or three weeks. She is
enjoying good health, and is looking
as though her western home agreed
with her. She reports her husband in
good health and well pleased with the
west. Miss Clara Heath, who is now
stopping with them, is becoming very
much attached to her new home.
Although an elector's name does
not appeal upon the registry list,
having been omitted either purposely
or by mistake, he can still vote provi
ded he has paid a state and county
tax within two years from the time he
offers to vote; or if he be between the
years of twenty-one and twenty-two
without having paid tax, provided he
cau prove by a qualified voter that he
has been a citizen in the district in
which he offers to vote for sixty days
prior to the election. Blank aflidavit.,
to muct these two cases will be fur
nished by the Commissioners to each
election board a the county whose
duty it will bo to fill them up or have
them filled up to suit each particular
case. This law applies alike, of course,
to naturalized cili.ens as well as nativo
born.
Reid Institute, situated at Reid3
burg, Clarion County, wa3 destroyad
by fire on the ICth inst. Incendiaries
have made several attempts to burn
the buildings heretofore, but their
efforts had always proved futile ontil
this last attempt. It is hard to imag
ine what motive could induce a person
to perpetrate such a dastardly act. The
sshool was in a very flourishing con
dition, and the town will severely feel
its loss.
Our citizens were somewhat
surprised to see a raft going down the
river last Thursday, the water beiDg
probably a foot or eighteen inches
lower than it was ever known to be
before. The "fleet" covered consider
able ground or water, rather but
was not raftod deep, and was drawn
over the Bhallow placeB byt a horse.
Tue occurrence inspired a faint hope
in the breasts of some of our lumber
men, and they went immediately to
work to fix up their raft shanties.
An unusually beautiful engraving
has been issued by "Peterson's Maga
zine" for 1880, to reward persons for
getting up clubs. The plate is quite
large, 24 inches by 20, and would or
nament even the most refined parlor;
for it is executed in tho highest siyle
of art; and is such a mezzotint as is
sold, at retail, for five dollars. The
subject is "Washington at Prayer at
Valley Forge" commemorating one
of the roost touching incidents of the
War of Independence. This patriotic
and beautiful mezzotint ought to be in
every house in America. It is, we
think, the finest that "Peterson" has
ever issued, and that is saying a great
deal. You can get it, gratis, by
getting up a club for "Peterson."

Library of Universal Knowledge.
Volume two of this very excellent,
and from an economical point of view,
extraordinary work, is issued October
25th. Its 736 neatly printed and well
bound pages coutain a wealth of
knowledge, covered by tho alphabet
between the words Arundel and Biron,
such as, it is safe to say, was never
before procurable for the trifling num
of 50 cents ! The 20 vols, complete,
containirg over 40,000 distinct arti
cles, and nearly as many more inci
dentally mentioned subjects, with
complete index, are sufficient of them
selves to afford a liberal education to
any one of limited resources. As a
matter of course, they are findiug their
way into the hands of hundreds of
thousands of those whose love ot
knowledge has exceeded their power
to buy it at the great prices charged
for Cyclopedias heretofore published
in this country, none of which equal
this in the amount of matter given.
Volume three will be ready early in
November, and the remaiuing volumus
will appear about two each month
thereafter. The publishers will send
a specimen volume, which may be
returned if not wanted, to any part of
the United States, for the price, in
clotb, 50 cents, half morocco, 75 cents,
or on extra fine heavy paper, wide
margins, bound in half Russia, gilt
tnp, $1.00. Their catalogue of stand
ard publications will be sent free on
request. Americnn Book Exchange,
