Church next Sunday eve ning. M. E. Sunday School at 10 o'clock a. in., and Presbyterian Sunday School at 3 o'clock p. in. Our jail is one more full of emptiness. The mud has been dried up by the frosts, as it were, but that don't improve the hauling much. Another breastpin was found in front of thi f. E. Church, recently, and handed us. The loser will please call and "lake it away." Frank Leslie, the publisher, died in New York, on the 10th inst. He was the publisher of six or eight pori odicaU, and was well known to the literary world. Supt. Brockway, who has lately been making a tour through the county visiting school, reports busi ness in Che lumbering camps generally suspended on account of tho absence of enow. On our first page will be found a very nicely prepared collection of all important events of the world during 1879. It will be a good thing to preserve for future reference. One da last week while engaged on a log job at Buck Mills, on Tiones to Creek, a young mau named Tommy Taig, got his wrist severely out with au ax. We were unable to learn the full particulars. Ths stave mills in this section have about all shut dowti for want of bolts. The weather for the 'past two weeks has been so unfavorable for hauling that the mills could not be kept in stock. - Our Harrisburg correspondent makes some predictions as to the future political prospects. He is in a position to know pretty nearly "bow the cat jumps," and we wouldn't be surprised if he was correct. James Haddlcson, of whose severe suffering from a cancer in the nose we made mention last week, is failing dai ly, and it i thought he cannot survive much longer, lie is so weakened as not to be able to have an operation performed. . A sad case, iudeeu. D. S. Kichmoud, of Meadville, has beeu appointed ceueus supervisor of ihe tenth census district of Penn sylvauia, which comprises the counties of Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Craw ford, Elk, Erie, Forest, Jetrerson, Mer cer, Vcuango and Warren. Derrick. Our readers will please overlook any sbortcowingalhat may be notica ble in this issue. A death in the fam ily of the editor prevented the gather ing of the uual amount of local happening;-, and caused the suspension of work altogether for two or three days. It is hoped that the members of tho Republican Couuty Committee will all respond to Chairman Davis' call for a meeting next Saturday, 17th inst. Business of importance to all the Republicans of the county is to be transacted, and a full turnout is very necessary. Mr. Dilhridge's Auction Sale in Partridge's building is still going on every afternoon and evening with good success. He is rapidly disposing of his largo stock of seasonable goods, and those who wish to secure bargains that are bargains, should call before the goods are all sold. Mr. Join Grceu, of T jlersburg, Pa., informs us that one day lust week, three men of that place cut and ranked up twelve cords of slave bolts in nine hours. Mr. G. said if any one doubted the truth of his assertion ho was ready to back it up with auy amount from ten to five hundred dollars that they cujUhl do it again. Constable Swaggart requests us to remind those who have in contempla tion the netting of pigeoKs in thia sec tion that a law exists compelling non resident of the State to take out a li cense before proceeding to busiueea, and that the law must be strictly com plied with. Also that uo shooting in the roost will be tolerated. Our Newtowo correspondent gives the particulars of a very sad affair which took place near there last Fri day. Tho grief stricken parents wish us to ask the residents along the creek to keep a close watch for the child in case it should come to the surface of the water. It is one of tho Euddet cases which has taken place in th'u vicinity for niuuy years, and wo hope the body may be recovered soon and lhus,in a measure, alleviate the sorrows ,'f the parents. W. O. Clark has sold his interest in the Brookville Uraqhie Democrat to his former partner Mr. McMurray, who will hereafter conduct the paper. Mr. Clark has made himself quite a repu tation as a writer and we wish him success when he again branches out in business. Mr. McMurray will also accept best wishes tor his success. The abundance of pigeons in this neighborhood last week, brought to town our genial friend Bacon, of Vien na, Ohio. Ho looks natural and is as fond of trapping pigeons as ever. Although the present weather is not favorable for the business, we hope he and the pigeons may sojourn with us till spring. teveral parties shouldered their "Winc'testers" and hied to the woods yesterday morning. They were prob ably going out to see if thcte wete any "foxes" left, and indulge in a little tar get practice geoerally. The crack of a rifle sounds so much better in the woods on a frosty morning than any where else. -Tho Monthly Teachers' Institute will be held in this place on the last Satnrduy of January, which will be the 31st day. Many of the teachers throughout the county have signified their willingness to be present, and no doubt an interesting and instructive meeting will be the result. All should attend who can make it convenient to do so. ... Rev. J. B. Thompson, of the Re formed Church of Shanondule, Clarion Co., preached a very able and season able sermon in the Presbyterian Church of this place last Sunday evening. He was assisted in the services by Rev. Stone, who very kindly dismissed ser vices at the M. E. Church, in order to give his congregation an opportunity to hear Rev. Thompson. 'Mr. D. W. Clark, Jr., insurance agent of Tidioute, was in town last Friday on "biz." Will has laValy taken a "life policy" unto himself which he considers the best investment of his life, and which he has gone so far as to swear to love, cherish and protect above all others. May the bright sunshine of happiness nnd prosperity ever lighten your house hold, Willie. ' Quite a snow storm occurred on Monday, and for a time our citizens were jubilant over, the irospect of sleighing, but at this writing the sky is bright, and tho indications are that we will have another "break-up." In this connection we might state that Mr. G. M. Kepler offers to give $20 to the first preacher he meets should wo havt two weeks of good sleighing. A couple of our ardent sporU tnen planted themselves on the hill back of Mr. Jamieson's place, above here last Monday morning for the pur pose of netting pigeons. Having com pleted all arrangements for the pig eons when they should put in an ap pearance, they sat dowu to await their coming. While thus engaged they were surprised to see a very fine deer walk into the field within easy gun shot. But, alas! they were minus a gun, and were obliged to sit and watch the deer and curee their stupidity io not bringing with them the implements of warfare. Finding they could do nothing they concluded to give it a good scare and see it "dig out." This they proceeded to do, when, lo! the gentle doe walked straight toward them, and proved to be oue of Mr. Jamieson's pets. Had they possessed a gun no doubt they would have made "deer" work for themselves. Mr. G.M. Kepler, the efficient Superintendent of the Millers town Oil Co., was around on Monday morning in high spirits. Their well on the Hill farm, four miles above town, has fiually been completed, after much trouble, bad luck and vexation, and bids fair to bacome a good paying well, at least it is up to Mr. K.'s greatest anticipations. It is down 400 feet, and pumping began on Saturday, but the salt water is giving them so much trouble that they are unable to do much until they can get a gas pump attached and exhaust it. This pump has beeu sent for and will probably arrive to-day or to morrow. They found 42 feet of sand, which is pro nounced first-class by those who know. Thii well is situated several rods farther back from the ones put down on this farm a year or two ago, and there being so much more sand, Mr. Kepler thinks he has succeeded in defining the course of the belt. He thinks the present well will be good for 5 barrels 28 gitvity oil, which is worth from 5 to ?6 per barrel. We are glad to see Air. K. so much en couriged with tho prospects, and hopo he and his company may realizo all they expect. Wo will be able to report moie- fully tho results of the test in our next. THANKS. We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to our friends of Tiouesta and vicinity fnr their assistance and kind ness in our sudden and sad bereave ment in the death of our little Kate. g. g. butterfield. Lizzie Butterfield. A Sad Affair. On Friday about 11:45 a. m., one of Mr. R. Rudolph's children aged about 19 months ran out of the house and was missed some five or six min utes and when looked for could no where be found. As Mr. Rudolph's house is not more than 20 feet from the creek, a short distance below Newtown, it is supposed that the child Ml into the creek and that he lias been drowned and carried away by the stream. At the time of the accident Mr. Rudolph was on his way home from Wheeler A Co. 's mills, at Newtown, where he had been at work. Upon nearing the bouse ho hear? screams aud on arriviuglearned of tho accident. Search was immedi ately made but up to the present writing the body has not been found. The creek has been dragged with "drag hooks" but as the creek is veiy high it was of no avail. Ths country about has been searched, but, likewise, no trace has been found. The bereaved, sorrow-stricken par ents have the utmost sympathy of all in the neighborhood. . Newtown Mills, Jan. 10j '80. Barnett Township Pickings. Mr. M. Pierce is coming on finely with his job. He has the snug little contract of putting in a million logs, and thirty thousand cubic feet of square timber, given him by Thompson & Darrah of Brookville, Pa. A spelling bee at Greenwood School house, ou the evening of the 2d inst., was utteoded by a full house, and duly appreciated. General good order pre- vailed during the exercises. The fol lowing programme was carried out Opening aoug. A Sleighing song by r- in if r r 1 1 i i Miss ouuie iwaze. opening oy cnosen bides. Intermission. Sorig, "Pretty little Miss," by Misses Suffie Maze and Mary Cussins. Spelling ; general ex ercise. Recitation and closing exercise by the teacher. The laurel j were won by Miss Lizzie Kuhns. The rounds of applause which greeted the performers showed well the success of their efforts. The performances not included in the programme consisted in scene first: A trial of pugilistic skill, of the regular "she cat" style, between a couple of young hopefuls," which ended with a half dozen huge pairs of boots kicking at one half-grown boy, and the disap pearance of the boy. Sceue second : The shelling off of half a dozen "dus ters," and disappearance of their own ers behind the curtain (school house). When they had blown sufficient wind, they quietly returned, seemingly very much relieved. This was their best policy, for the lovers of order and justice were there in a sufficient number, and determined to administer in any sized doses necessary. Joun. Redclyffe, Pa., Jau. 6, '80.

G. and Lizzie Butterfield, was born in Tio nesta, Pa., March 4lh, 1 873, and de parted this life Jan. 9th, 1880, after an illnevs of 30 hours. Kate in her few years enjoyed life in its full. Being of lively aud buoy ant feelings, combined with a tender sympathetic temper and a rarely de veloped mind, she entered into all the scenes of life to enjoy them fully. She loved her little companions, and won and enjoyed their confidence always readv to tnako a sacrifice for their comfort or pleasure. Of n rare invent- j ive imagination, she could utalizo and adapt means for their entertainment; of pure mind, her own feelings were alivays ready to enjoy. She took great delight in the Sabbath School ; she learned to love it iu her infant years and was always anxious for the Sab bath ; it was not a weary day to her. She loved to be taught divine things, and showed remarkable conceptions of them, and to be taught the spiritual meaning of things. She was anxiously learning verses to receive the reward, "her own Bible," and was learning to read well enough to ho able to use the Lesson Leaf. She imitated her Saviour in Luke 2 chap. 40 verse, in hearing and asking questions. She was led to Jesus and He is faithful to His own teaching and promise, Mark 10 chap. 13 to 1G verse : "And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them, and his own deciples re buked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much dis pleased, and 3aid unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, aud forbid them not ; for of such is the Kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall cot receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them uf in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them." And,' Mathew 21 chap. 15 pud 16 verses: "And when the chief priests und sciibes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, aud saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore dis pleased, aud sard unto, him, llearest thou what these say ? And Jesus said unto them, Yea ; huve ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and suck-, lings thou has perflated praise ?" The parents and friends will miss her bright and joyous little face, but have this consolation r Jesus loved her more and has taken her to Himself. Griffin, in Faguudas, Pa., Dec. 28, 1879, of luug fever, Matie C, youngest daughter of Charles and Elleu Griffin, aged one year and three mouths. Matie wa a bright, intelligent child, and endeared herself to all who knew her. She was the flower of" the family, and the idol of her father's heait. She was a great ruflerer during her last sickness, but bore her afflic tion with patience. She knew her parents and kissed them both but a few hours before she slept her last sleep. She was attended by Dr. Blaine, of Tionesta, and every thing was done for her that could be done, by kind parents and friends. But she left us for a brighter home in heaven. The remains were taken to Hamburg, N. Y., for interment. The funeral sermon was preached by tho Rev. T. Sharpe, who made very appropriate remarks. The ufilieted pu rents have the sympathy of the entire community in their great bereavement. She was a little blooming rose ; A transitory ilower. She was not ours, but only lent To cherish for an hour. S. School Reports. The flowing is the report of the Little Hickory School for the month ending Jan. 6th, 1880.

Everything is moving on in theeveti tenor" of its way and nothing is liable to rouse us fiom our stupor until the Slate Convention meets. in February. Ex-State Senotor Lemon of Blair, who having the nomination of Treasurer in his hand la-t fall Stepped down so gracefully for Mr. Butler, Will no doubt be the party's nominee. He is very popular throughout the State and has added to his friends many who were opposed to him last July. Pas9 moro will make n show and will no doubt be rewarded with a compliment ary vote, but Lemon will be nomimv ted ou the fii'3t ballot. Passmore is liked but has had his day. Lemon is a strong mau aud has carried a Demo cratic district for years representing it iu the Senate. Tuesday night Phila delphia elects its delegates to the State Convention and the delegation will have a strong "Lemon" flavor. It is evident that Quay will be the" next U. S. Seuator, though Grow will give him a hard pull for it. Quay, no"""' 1 doubt, did considerable to carry the Stat? against Dill in '78, but Grow's hard money speech at Oil City gavo the patty a platform to work on, and was the winning card in the campaign. It is expected that our delegation to tho Rational Convention will be solid for Grant, but even so Blaine will be nomiuated without a doubt. He is very popular in this State as well as in Ohio aud New York. Cameron will try to beat him here, Conklin Ja New York, aud Sherman in Ohio, but I am afraid their oflbrts will not avail and they will finally agree he is the. man to carry victory, with him. . Don Cameron has been mentioned but I do not think he cares for it as , he would rather be tho power behind the throne, than the luckless chap that sits on it. Warren.
