which may yet prove serious if nt fa

down on top of young Zahniser's head.

It is with deep regret, wc chronic
le the death of Mary Jane Patton, wife
of Alex E. Patton Esq., which occur
red in Curwenville, May 27, 1884.
Mr. Patton has the sympathy of many
friends here in his sad bereavement.
Her disease was Bronchitis; and al
though all was done that loving care
could prompt, yet she rapidly sank
under the fatal grasp of her malady,
the end no doubt hastened by her
grief over the loss of her little daught
er Kate, who died only a few short
months ago. In the midst of hor final
sufferings, she said : "I want to. go
home to God." She leaves a husband
and a bright little boy to mourn her
loss; while the circle in which she
moved has lost one of its brightest at
tractions, and her church one of its
most beloved and useful members.
We were favored last week with
numerous visits from friends living in
different parts of eur couuty and of
course tbeir presence in our sanctum
was very gratifying to us and their
calls were duly appreciated. Our
friend and fellow sportsman Mr. R.
M. Slagle of East Hickory, was
among the number who remembered
the printer and made us a welcome
visit. Robert, we understand, has
been stocking the thriving steam saw
mill of John W. Polen, on E. Hicko
ry creek, half a mile above Stowe
town, for the past year, in connection
with a partner by the name of Hill.
These gentlemeu thoroughly under
stand their business and by hard work
and close figuring they have been
very successful. Mr. Slagle is not on
ly a stirring business man but a keen
sportsman, a capital shot with cither
shot guu or rifle, and woe unto the
deer th.u allows Bob to get a glimpse
of its bide, for he uever misses bring
ing one down if he draws the trigger.
CHICAGO CONVENTION.
The Republican National Conven
tion is now iu session at Chicago, the
preliminary work was begun and gone
through with yesterday, but no ballots
will be taken until to-day, aud it is
doubtful whether a ballot will be reach
ed before to-morrow, as thecandidates
must be placed in nomination, and
more or less speech making indulged
in. Tho two great candidates before
the convention are Blaine and Arthur,
while the less promiueut ones are, Ed
monds, Logan and Sherman, likewise
Licoln, Postmaster General Gresham,
Seuatojr Ben Harrison, the latter three
being looked upon as prohablo dark
horses. At preseut writing Lincoln and
Gresham seem to have the inside track
in the dark horse race. Blaiue's friends
claim auywhere from 336 to 350 votes
for him on first ballot, while the Ar
thur men claim only a trifle less than
that number for their candidate on
first ballot. There are 820 votees in
convention and 411 are necessary to a
choice, so that bo candidate can be
expected to make the nomination un
til several ballots have been taken
and a break occurs. There are no
animosities like there were four or
eight years ago, and whoever the can
didate is be will receive the hearty
support of all sides.
Blaine's chances are considered bet
ter now than four years ago, us many
who opposed him bitterly then are
either luke warm or very friendly
toward him now. At all eveuts next
week we can name the uext President
of the United States.
Latkst On the assembling of the
convention yesterday at noon Hon.
John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, was
honored with temporary chairman
ship. Mr. Lynch is a colored man.
The committee on permanent organi
zation elected J. B. Henderson of
Missouri for permanent chairman.
At the hour of goiog to press noth
ing had occurred which would indi
cate the strength of any one candi
date. A ballot will probably be
reached to-day.

Notes of Memorial Day by a Member
of the Post.
Memorial day 1884 will long be ro
membered in Tionesta and the citizens
of Forest county. All stores and
places of business except hotels closed
from 10 to 1 o'clock. The turnout of
the citizens of the surrounding country
cu good and all seemed to enter into
the spirit of the occasion. The Post
and I. O. O. F. met at the Hall accor
ding te programme, and marched from
the Hall at 11 sharp down Elm street
under the escort of the Post Martial
Band, thence back up the street to the
Presbyterian Church in front of which
the children fell in and marched fol
lowing the Hickory Cornet Band, in
advance of the Post. The marching
by the veterans was excellent. The
committee on flowers for the day did
their whole duty, and presented the
comrades with beautiful flowers worked
into wreathes, crosses and other appro
priate symbols, as the Post marched
through their ranks at the south gate
of Riverside Cemetery. Arriving at
the cemetery the order of exercises an
nounced in the programme was car
ried out to the letter in excellent style,
interspersed, here and there, by beau
tiful odes and anthems by the choir,
and in tbeir places appropriate dirges
by the bands. All performed their
parts well. After the ceremony of dec
oration the martial band sounded
"assembly call." when the Roll of the
honored dead was called, who lie in
the cemetery at Tionesta, consisting of
the following names : Capt. Geo. Stow,
James Thompson, Phillip Walters,
Peter O. Convor, Leut. O. W. Stadein,
Maj. Mulkins and D. McCliotoek.
The choir then rendered a beautiful
and appropriate ode, deserving especi
al attention, entitled, "The Roll-Call
Above."
The Commander then introduced
the Rev. W. L. Riley, orator of the
day, who delivered one of the roost
eloquent, impressive and approriate
addresses that was ever made in the
county. He was listened to with una
bated attention from the first to the
last, and was iu full sympathy with his
subject; it abounded with touching
pathos, beautiful metaphors, affecting
incident, carrying us back in our
memories to our departed comrades
who sleep in the bosom of the earth.
This address will long be remembered
as a memorable feature of the day.
After which the Post, Odd Fellows,
and people then marched back to the
music of the two bands, down Elm and
Helen streets to William slreer, in
front of the grave of Leut, John Range,
which was duly decorated by Chaplain
Rhodes, assisted by a detail of six
comrades in the presence of all the
assembly. Lent. Range was a soldier
of Washington's Army iu the Revolu
tionary war, and original settler of
Tionesta; many of his defendants
were in the assembly the Hunters,
Biggins, Balls, Shriver, Ranges, &c.
After which all marched to Hasletts
corners, where resolutions were passed,
the Post tendering a vote of thaqks
to W. L. Riley, orator of the day, the
Hickory Cornet Band, the Post band,
the choir and singers, the Odd Fellows,
the children and the people, who all
contributed to the successful obser
vance of the day. The Hickory Cor
net Band did especially well for anew
band taking their first trip from home,
playing more like old juusiciar a than
late beginners. Of the Post their were
51 in liue during the day and the
Odd Fellows, iu their new and bright
regalias, cuada an impressive and
beautiful appearance. S. D. I.
