The election of Mr. John M. Berry to the responsible position of Cashier of The First National Bank of Oil City is a gratifyiisg evidence that st ady aud patient industry do uot always go unrecognized . During the four years that Mr. Berry baa served tha bank to tba capacity of book keeper be has, by bis gentleman ly and obliging manner, gained hosts of friends. The St. George, W.

An accident occurred at Tvlers- burg on Monday by which .Martin Stakely was seriously, if not fatally injured. He was working near tbe shiDgle edger in one of the mills at that place when the saw bursted and flew into pieces, several of tbe flying missiles striking him about the bead aud other parts of the body. At the time our informant left the place his exact condition could not be ascer tained, but it was thought the man was pretty badly hurl. He is a young man aged 24 or 25 years.

" The Cla-rion Jacluonian expresses our sentiments exactly in tho follow ing item: Correspondents to this pa per are requested to avoid personals which are intended to injure anyone. We are not iu a position to know what your communication may indi cate; they may read all right to uh and seem apparently to nieau harm to uo one, and still contain an unwise cut at some one in your neighborhood. Avoid all this and when occasion re quires you to mention an individual do it without blur. We will gladly give you room for all you may write, that is of iuterest to our readers,, but outside of this we have no space for publication of mailers of this kind. In the case of Dufur vs. Dono van iu Warren county a verdict was rendered Saturday morning in favor of Donovan. The history of the case is as follows: During the months of June and July, 1883, Donovan was buying and selling oil through Dufur as broker. He put up $2,000 margins and when that mouey was exhausted he asked Dufur to tarry the oil a day or two until he could raise more mon ey, which Dufur consented to do, but tbe oil was fin illy sold on a ragular order from Donovan, leaving a bal ance due Dufur of $1,019.13, for which ho asked Donovan to give a note to balance account due in two years. This Donovan refused to do and Dufur brought ouit to recover tho amount in court. Donovan made no defence whatever except to plead the gambling act, in which the jury sus taiued him. Era. Tbe following additional particu lars concerning tbe sudden death of Mr. Geo. I. Slater, mention of which we made last, week, we glean from a Pleasantville correspondence to the Venango Citizen: A Mr. Slater had recently started a stave mill near Keilllown, his wife was dead aud his family consisted of himself, a Boo aud daughter. Friday eight the young people attended a dance at Neilltowu, leaving tbe old geutleman at'bome alone. They did not return uoti about 3 o'clock on Saturday morning. and noticed that their father was not at home, but thought nothing of that, as frequently, when tbey were awav. he had pobe to a brothers living near by end fimyod all night. Getting up late ou baturdsy itiftrninar the Son weht to tlietarp'to t.ike.caro. of the stock.' On' rpenfnj the eta! la, door where the horses wei kept, he found his father lying- juRt back of one of tbem, dead and frozen stiff. He had evidently been currying the hnrso at the time of his death, as he had fal len over backward behind the hors The curry-comb laved by his side, iust where it had fallen. Notice was a once given to the proper authorities at 1 leasantville and Dr. Proper was called upon to make an examination of the remains. He did so. and re ported that there was not a shadow of a doubt but that be had died from heart disease and that death had been instantaneous. Dr. Burkett, of Clarington, Dead. The citizens of this, as well as those of the community in which he lived, ere shocked to learu of the sudden death of Dr. J. M. Burkett. of Clarington, which occurred on Wednesday of last week. 18th inst. He had arrived at homo but a short time previous from Cleveland, where he bad beeu attended a course of med ical lectures, aud was ju6t ecuperat- log from an attack of sickness. Hav ing a call to attend a patient at Gil- foyle, about 12 miles from his borne, be started on tho morninc of the above date, a bitter cold day. al though yet in feeble health. Arriv ing at his destination be alighted from his sleigh and started to walk to the bouse of his patient, but had gone only a few rods hea be fell to the ground, lie was carried to the house, and medical aid summoned, but it is believed he never breathed atter en tering the house. He had beeu a suf ferer from heart disease for some time. In the deallof Dr Burkett all ac quainted with him fiod occasion for a profound sorrow. Not aloue is his family bereaved, out the community as well, Ilia sudden death brings darkest sorrow to his family, and sad dens other hearts who miss from their community an active and a respected member as well as a skilfull aud a humane physician. During the short tune he has beeu amongst us he has gathered arouod him the host of friends who with sorrowful beans aud voices uuite in lamenting his unex pected taking awav, and unite, too, in extending their sincerest sympathy to the slrickeu family and in uniting their sorrow with theirs'. Dr. Birkett was burn in Punxsu- tawney, Jefferson county, Pa., June 14,1850. He was married in Iudi ana county, Pa., March 15, 1870, to Miss Annie M.

Believing that the County Auditors' Report is a matter of tbe most vital importance to the Republican tax payers of Forest county, we this week give it publicity through our columns. We get no pay for this work, but do not believe that the Republicans should be deprived of the satisfaction of seeing the Report on that account. H e wish, also, lo correct a false im pression which seems to have gained credence with quife a number: It has been told that the Auditors' Reports. and all other matters cf public print mg at the disposal of the County Commissioners, have heretofore been published in ouly two pnpcis. This is a mistake. Every lino of advertis ing which the Commissioners have had at their disposal for the past three years has been divided among the three county papers, as the files of the same with leadily prove. Barnctt Notes. Mr. Jacob Painter, livinw near Greenwood this county, 'and well known lo very many of your readers, died on Sunday the 15th. of this month.

He had uot missed bis check-book pre viously. The thief is unknown. Times do not looseo up much. Some of our citizens, it seems, put in bids for the various mail routes running to and from aud through Clarington. But of no avail. The meu who carry the mail must be con tent to do so second hand. Mack Dunkel gave his foot a bad cut. Grant HillarJ met with an acci dent. In topping a tree the part cut off fell down, throwing him, his breast striking against a knot.
