We had to hustle around so live ly in the past few days to keep warm that we actually got a day ahead of time with our paper this weeK. Dr. W. C. Coburn is attending the meeting of the Grand Lodge, A. O. U. W., at Pittsburgh this week, as Representative of Forest Lodge, No. 184. Congressman White of Ibis dis trict has been placed on the Pensions Committee of the House, and also on the Committee on Revision of the Laws. Both ituDortunt committees. The Clarion Democrat has swelled out considerably, and is newly dressed f m bead to foot, making a wouder tiil improvement. Glad to see our neighbor 6how such unmistakable evi dence of prosperity. Mr. Frank Nash of Byrom Sta tion, Jeoks twp., was in town on busi ness a day or two last week and re membered us with a pleatant call. Mr. Nash owns a flourishing shiuglo mill at the above place. A local institute will be held io the borough school building on Satur day next 16th inst., beginning at 9:00 a. m. Rtid lasting till 3:00 p. m.

Tho Tiontsta Valley Railroad Company's James City branch has been extended to the Kane oil field aud will be opened in a few days. In t he Spring the Sheffield Junction aud Spring Creek division will probably be extended southward to the Clarion river. Warren Mail. Spudding on tho oi) well on tract 5503, Gieen towuship, was commenced Monday. The company operating this territory expect to put down sev eral wells in that locality. A new well has been started on the southeast corner of tract 3301, known as the Means & White lands, Jenks town ship. Mr. John Mealy, one of the oldest inhabitants of the Mealy Settlement, Tionesta towuship, died on Thursday of last week, of neuralgia of the heart. He was an industrious and good cit izen, an reared a large family of honest and iudustrious boys and girls, most of whom survive their father. His age was about 74 years. Mr. Fred. Scowden and wife, of Meadville, Pa , were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. bcowden of this place over last Sabbath. The former coup le were enjoyiug a few days of their bone; moon, having been married on the 7th iust. Socially, Mr. S. is a full match for his genial brother Joe, and made quite a number ot new friends here. Mrs. D. N. Parshall died at her residence in Tidioute, on Thursday of last week, after an illness of several mouths, her disease being consump tion. She was a bister of Mrs. George Holeman of this place, and had many warm friends among our yourg people, who will be pained to learn of her death. She leaves a husband but no children. By reference to our advertising columns, the taxpayers of the county will observe the places and dates upou which the board of County Commis sioners will hear appeals from the as sessment just completed by the town ship assessors. Parlies desiring to ap peal should preserve these dates and be ou band, or for the nest three years bold their peace. Rev. Mr. Lockwood, bis wife anJ two children, of Cooperstown, were taken on New Years with violent pains and vomiting. A physician fouod them in great agony, but soon allayed the paiu. The doctor gave the opinion that they had been poisoued by mince pies thai had been made out of mince meat kept io cans made out of a pre paration called tin, but which is lead thinly coated with tin. The acid in the meat ate off the coating and poisoned the contents. Franklin Newt. The new tax law is getting into deeper water every day. The law says that money at interest, etc. shall be "taxable for State purposes, at the rate of three mills on the dollar of the value thereof annually." Il being held by roauy that the annual value of money, etc., is the interest thereon, aud that tho "rate of three mills on the dollar of the value thereof annual ly" means the interest and that the tax must be levied only on tie inter est and not on the principal, as prob ably intended by the Ira in era of the law. Ex. On Friday evening last the aver age citizen went to bed complaining about the lack of snow. The same a. c. woke up Saturday niornicg com plaining about the snow, but this time not on account of the lack but the su perabundance of the article. About 1G inches bad fallen during the night, aud the shovel brigade was everywhere apparent. At this writing the roads are still unbroken to a great extent, but there will likely be a few days of good sleighing unless the weather takes a very sudden turn, which we've knowo it to do iu the past year. The County Auditors finished their Report of the financial standing of the county on Wednesday last, Mr. J. II. Dingman acting as their clerk. We are pleased to say they found the county in fine shape, and having been administered in a very economical and business like manner. The Commis sioners retained Mr. Brennan as Clerk for the ensuing year, io which choice they display their customary good judgment. Mr. Ritchey was al so relaiued as counsel for the year, aud Mr. Campbell as janitor. The present Board of Commissioners have thus lar shown their ability to conduct the county's affairs in a ma6ner that admits of no fault being fouud, being square-buiuess in all that they under take, and we predict them for success in the future and the approbation of the taxpayers. The teachers' institute last week was a most decided success in all par ticulars, except the weather. What a pity this wasu't last week, or last week this week; or, what we want to get at, why couldn't it have been this kind of weather last week. Speaking about the iustitute, what's the matter with applying this, from May Irwin's Fraklin News, to last week's 'assem bly in the plase : "A glance at the Institute now in session reveals the fact that the old-fusbiooed school teacher, the traditional pedagogue, is among the extinct animals. The men are clad in fashionable tailor made suits, wear dude collars, have Pompa dour cuts on their hair and sport the latest agonies io tke hat line. The ladies are arrayed to knock out Solo mon's lilies; they wear the latest style of dress, are mostly young, and nearly every one of them has her bair hauled up on top of her cranium, with some style of devil-puzzling head gear sur mounting it all. Oue looks in vain for the old time school ma'am the devot ed female, with the corkscrew curls, the nose like an ice-pick, the angular form, suggesting a set of edged tools tied up in a bombazine bag. Alas! the old-fashioned teacher survives no longer, to board 'rouod and draw the dampness from tho spare room. The race went out with the flail, the ox-gad, the harvest jug, the handspike hog, the store order, the log-rolling, the Missouri compromise, the African slavery." Kellettville Krumbs. Saturday's snow gave us all a sur prise. Miss Emma Shaw is on the sick list. Alfred Brennan his gone to East Hickory. Slush is running thick on the creek, and doubtless ere this gets in print will have given us an ice bridge. R. R. Andrews is in Buffalo receiv ing medical treatment for a spinal affection. B. Jan. 9, '86. Teachers' 19th Annual Institute. Continued. Wednesday morning: Teachers' Conference; singing. The subject, "Uee and Abuse of Signals," was tak en up, Miss Sedden opened the discus sion. The discussion was spirited. Penmanship was discussed also. Regular Session! Opening exercis es. Roll call. Prof. Iloge continued the subject of Physiology and Hygiene. He said . the body is divided into: the head ; the trunk; the limbs. The following consideration enables us to localize and limit the chest and the abdomen : the chest protects the heart aud lungs; it is a long frame work; the abdomen protects the stomach and intestines. The hand is the most val uable member of the uppei limbs, &c. Pro Iloge in answer to the question, How to Prevent Tardiness, gave twelve methods by tho use of one or more of which such a result may be secured. Superintendent Lord re sumed History. He first asked the teachers to read from their note books the outlines given in previous lessons. The response showed that the utes were being well used. He then pre sented a continuation of his previous work. The result of this system of teaching will be to give pupils and students a classified kuowledge of the subject. Classified knowledge, says Agassiz, (quoted Prof. Iloge,) is the only useful knowledge, Afternonn : Opening exercises. Prof. Huge first answered some special queries and then resumed Physiology and Hygiene. Considerable promi nence was given this subject for the reason that this is the new brauch re quired by law to be taught by all teachers, many of whom will have to study, and are studying it. The work was so presented both orally and on the board that full notes were readily taken. Superintendent La id present ed another outline of History, and al so illustrated method of interesting young pupils in the study of History through oral lessons. The Query Box was opened and fouud to contain va rious questions ou vaiious subjects, a large number ot which were satisfac torily answered at least as far as il was possible to answer satisfactorily. Professor Iloge took up Language, Grammar is a key to the language. A great mistake made in teaching is that the language is taught too little and the grammar too much. All text books ou the subject contaiu both lan guage and grammar. Full outlines were preseotdd on the black-board. Evening: Music. Supt. Lord read a paper on the subject, God in History. It was an excellent paper and highly appreciated. The entertainment of the evening consisted in select reading and recitations by Miss Laura Keller, alternating with instrumental music by Miss Maude Davis. Miss Keller's powers as an elocutionist have not di?j mioisbed in the years elapsed since she first made her appearance at our institute. Miss Davis' music was fine and faultlessly rendered. Thursday morning: Why teachers should take Educational Journals a paper, by Miss Kate Guenther. A discussion of the paper followed. What the word Method meaus, was opened by A. J. Saliade, and discussed quite generally. Regular session: Open ing. Roll call. Professor Iloge con tinued his work on Language. Super intendent Lord presented some work on Arithmetic. Supt. Pearsall, of Cameron county, was introduced and spoke on School Maoagemeot. Supt. Pearsall is quite large, and a pleasant lookiug man. His talk on school management pre sented many good ideas. The Query Box intruded itself here with queries wise and otherwise. As Supt. Lord was to go away after dinner be was called upon to say good bye. He made many friends among our teach ers and people while beie. Aftertoou : Opeuing. As no work had been outlined for the afternoon a list of questions, found in the query box, pertiuent to the occasion was read. A number of these were takeu up and discussed. Many of them quite warmly. A series of resolutions appended was a partial result of these discussions. Professor Iloge gave a lesson on a tellurian globe. Directors' Day was a success. Tio nesta Borough, Tiouesta township, Green township, Hickory township aud Jenks towuship were represented. Wednesday forenoon iustitute ad journed one-half hour while the funeral of Mrs. Shriver passed by to the Cem etery. The regular work of the regular sessions was interspersed with mnsio by the Institute, and recitations by Miss Keller. Miss Mary Lee on Thursday morning, by request, recited, "Tho Vagabonds." It was Mies Lee's first appearance before our people as an Elocutionist. She made a very good irapressiou. Thursday evening : Quartette, by members of the Institute. Duty, a paper by Mrs. DeLscy, of Howe twp. M. W. Tate Esq , delivered an address on the Relation of the Teacher to the Scholar and Community. It was un excellent paper replete with good thoughts beautifully expressed; with happy hits nicely put; and as a matter of course, ably delivered. The enter tainment of the evening consisted of instrumental music by Miss Maud Davis, vocal music by Miss Belle McClintock, and recitations by Miss Keller. Miss McClintock bad never appeared before our people or Institute prior to this time. Her reception would have gratifi'd Kellogg herself. Friday morning. Reading of min utes. Queries. Opening of regular session. Professor Iloge gave a closing talk on Physiology and Hygiene. He urged attention to six things ; lighting, heating, seating, ventilating, posture, rules of health. Superintendent Pear sall gave a lesson on teaching Primary Geography. Do not teach young pupils geographical terms. Teachers must gel outside of the text books to teach primary geography. Teach di rection and distance. Begin at home and go abroad. Professor Huge bade the teachers good bye. This is the second time he has been before our Institute as instructor. His work was well presented and valuable. Friday afternoon : Report of Com mittee on exhibits. Report of Com in it tee on Permanent Certificates. Report of Committee on Resolutions. Resolutions considered singly and dis posed of. Supt. Pearsall gave a last talk and bade the teachers good bye. Adjourned, sine die. RESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were adopted on Pi rectors' Pay: 1. That it is the sentiment of this Insti tute that each school in Foreot1 County should be furnished with an Unabridged Pictionary, to be paid for out ol the school fund. i 2. That the school boards of the County should furnish each of their schools with a set of outline maps, a map of tho State, and a map of the County. 3. That directors are very derelict of duty if eaeh school is not furnished with a sufficiency of black-board surface. 4. That it is very necessary that each school be furnished with bucket, tiL-cup, basin, soap, towels, scrubbing-brush, hair brush, broom and looking-glass. 5. That it is the sentiment of the directors that our teachers should be better paid. 6. That a lunar tellurian is a very neces sary apparatus, and there should be one in each school-ioom. Tho above resolutions were formulated and presented by Pr. J. W. Morrow, Sec retary of Tionesta Rorongh Board of Di rectors. The following resolutions were adopted by the Institute Friday afternoon : Whereas, we the teachers of Forest County in convention assembled, recognize our annual meeting as an intellectual, moral, social, and fraternal power in tho educational interests of this our field of labor second to none in its harmonizing ef fects on teacher, pupil, and patron, en nobling our profession, increasing our zeal, giving to each member a broader plan of thought. Therefore, be It resolved: 1. That each teacher should be subject to censure who does not prolit by this means of improvement, as teachers by their ab sence lend their aid to that which tends to lower the standard of their profession. 2. That we humbly ask the school direct ors to con sider the decision of .State Super intendent fligbee that the teacher who attends Institute is worthy of and should receive pay. 3. That we ask that directors give due consideration to the ability of their em ployees, and incite them to soli-improvement. 4. That it is a duty of directors to the children of their communities to purchase from the school fund standard works ou history, travel, science, biography, and etiquette, and hold the teacher responsible for tho use and care of samo. 6. That we heartily appreciate the in struction given by our instructors. 6. That the press in its courteous treat ment of Institute merits approbation ot all interested in educational advancement. 7. That we consider the word method, properly combined with other methods, the correct way to teach primary reading. 8. That we appreciate aud wish to ex press our thanks to our worthy Superin tendent for his special effort to make this Institute a success, aud that the people of Tionesta have been extremely kind in their cordiality to visitors. 9. That we appreciate the kindners of the County Commissioners, and thank them for the use of the Court House for Institute. The following persons acted as Secreta ries : Vilette Neudon, Mury Lee, Laura Keller, Belle M. Lewis, Kato (iuenther. J. E. 1IILLARU, Supt.

Box Pittsburgh, Pa. West Hickory Correspondence. "U. N. O," writing from West Hickory to the Titusville Citizen, has a good letter, from which we cull the following : To bridge over the dull season for his regular busine,Mr. II. D.Whit comb has placed a stave mill lit one corner of hia planing mill, which Is now running. ThU, with Straw bridge'9 stave mill up Hickory Creek, gives employment to a largo force of men and teams; but this timber business is not our only re source. We have oil fields, old and new, the new wells being found on thehilk. Dr. Shamburg is drilling high up on the White farm, also on the hill back of the town, and Mr. Mclntyre last week opened a well on his farm. We have a farming country along the river, not dreamed of by the out side community. A passing glanco at the SIgeins plantations and sur roundings show rich soil and good husbandry. Then there Is George W. King, about one mile below town, who can boast of bs fine a farm as lies out doors. Ueorge was once a butcher in Petroleum Center, but some eight years ago strayed away after cattle and oil. lie never coop ered in much oil, but he has several barns full of cattle, horses, sheep, tur keys and everything that Is calcula ted to make a farmer happy. In keeping stock he makes it an object to not only feed well, but keeps them as warm and dry as possible In the winter season. George says his cows "give down" better and his calves and sheep grow better, and he enjoys seeing his stock happy and in a good condition, and chewing their cuds all but his horses ; they chew oats and hay, and he enjoys that too. From a flock of 50 sheep his increase last year was 85 lambs. These lambs and his wool netted him nearly $400 and left his original stock on hand, and it was not a very good year for lambs either. So you see there must be tact as well as house work in run ning a farm successfully. We all know that George is a good farmer, but politically he is a little wayward. He disi egards his early political train ing and says that while his old and much respected father is still voting for General Jackson, in Clarion county, he is trying to be a good Re publican, and voted for Blaine of Maine, but lost his vote. The people of West Hickory are feeling quite elated in anticipation of our beautiful river being worked over into a ship canal, and what is more probable, the establishment of a large tannery here in the near fu tureif our neighbors across the river don't win the prize. But should they get the tannery, they will have the odor too. MARRIED. COURSON GRUBBS At the M. E. par sonage, Jan. 7, 1886, by Rev. F. M. Small, Mr. O. W.
