It was a lit tle lute corning, but all nature seems to smile the more for that. Thos. V. Corah of Kellettville, was a visitor to town yesterday. His company is about ready to start the drill in a new well on the west side of the creek, above Kellettville. -The Whig Hill M. E.

Franklin News: Miss II. G. Ir win and her guest, Miss Anna Rey nolds, of Meadville, went this after noon to Tionesta, where they will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Ir win for a few days. Fourth of July talk is a little quiet hereabouts just now, but we look for a revival in that direction before the eventful day, and expect that there will be fun enough and to spare for all who come heie to spend the day. The Green patent on drive wells expired January 24, 1885, consequent ly no royalty can be collected ou wells put dowu since that date. There be ing no patent now on these wells, any body is at liberty to use the process. Meadville Gazette. Our old friend and patron John Crom r of Green township, paid us a pleasant visit Monday. Some time in March last he bad the bad luck to cut bis left leg just below the knee, from the effects of which be it still suffering somewhat, something in the nature of erysipelas having set in. Thos. B. Cochran, the veteran chief clerk of the State Senate, has our thanks for a copy of Smull's Leg islative Hand Book for 1887. Mr. Cochran, who is the compiler, has changed the form and style of the work very materially, aud made it much better than it ever was before, Geo. Holeman is laid up and won't have much fun running foot races on the Fourth. His ax took a side sweep while taking out ties on Monday and landed in his left foot, cutting a gash about three inches long by one inch deep. It is an ugly wound, but we hope it will give him no undue trouble. Mr. S. B. Newton, Excursion Agent, will accompany the train that takes the excursion party to the Kin zua Bridge next Sunday, This insures the excursionists a royal time, as Mr. Newton makes it a study to Bee that his passengers enjoy all the comforts to be extracted from such an occasion Remember the date and take it in. Mr. Alex. Mealy returned to his Ohio home this morning, after a week's pleasant visit with Forest county friends. We have this morning the very meagre report of the killing of a man at Lickingville, Clarion county, yes terday, by a vicious stallion. As nearly as we can learn the gentleman's name is Bower. The boys in the vicinity of Star P. O., will celebrate the approaching Fourth of July in grand old fashioned style. A large platform has been erected in Osgood's Grove, at the top of Ross Run Hill, where all who wish can while away the day and night in the mazy whirl. A good time is bound to be had. Tidioute will "rouse" on the Fourth, while other towns in the neighborhood lay dormant. Oil City made a slight struggle in thut direc tion, but the patriotic bubble bursted with the first gasp, and wide awake citizens of that place will reserve their enthusiasm for August 25th, the time fixed for the big reunion of the veteran soldiers. Byrom's Station (Jenks township) people will have a grand demonstra tion on the coming Fourth. Music, dancing, raciug, fireworks, and all other amusements appropriate to the occasion, will be the order of the day and night. No labor will be spared to make the day one long to be re membered by the good peoplo of that section. The Republican joins all of Mr. R. Z. Gillespie's friends in congratu lations aud best wishes upon the hap py event of his marriage with Miss Alma Hoyt, one of Tionesta's accom plished young ladies, proper notice of which will be found iu its appropriate corner of this paper. Mr. and Mrs. Gillespie will go to housekeeping at once at their home on Whig Hill, and we wish them a prosperous aud happy future.

The whole is engraved upon a shield- shaped tablet, with truncated pyra midal base, bearing on it the words vuo oim ICilfa U U CIlllGl D1UD Ul ItUU figure 1. Yesterday Rev. F. M. Small and wife were iuvited dowu to Eli Hole man's to tea. They went, but strange to say, at the hour appointed, 4 o'clock in the evening, and for nearly two hours later, there appeared co signs of tea, or coffee, or anything else in that line. Of eourse Bro. Holeman and his estimable wife were sociable and pleasant and chatty, unusually so, but something seemed out of joint ; it was becoming embarrassing when, in the midst of a terrible rainstorm, word was brought to the Rev. and wife that they were wanted at home at once. Obeying the summons they re turned home to find that in their ab sence an invasion had occurred. Ta bles weighted down with eatables were set in the dining room and kitchen. The house was filled with frieuds, aud good humor and good cheer. Laugh ter and talk and pleasantry flowed free, as well as coffee and tea and other drinkables on the free list. Mrs. Hole man presented Rev. Small with $51.75 in silver coin, in behalf of the ladies of his congregation, informing him that the same was to be invested in a new suit for himself. Mrs. Small was also presented with material lor a new dress suit. Byrom Station. L. Aguew and Mr. Arncr, both of Tionesta, were in town on Wednesday, on political business. Jas.

Among the afternoon exercises were, an essay by Mrs. Readey of Oil City, on "Buddhism," a reading by Mrs. Tarbell of Titusville, and an interest ing recitation by six little girls; the programme being interpersed with music.

Gilleepie of Tionesta, nee Miss Alma Hoyt, and a most interest ing address by Miss Thoburn, who is now at home resting from her work iu India, where she has been for fifteen years. Thursday morning's session was very encouraging and inspiring. The reports from the different auxiliaries were satisfactory. The Bible reading led by Mrs. Smith of Franklin, was enjoyed by all. Mrs. E. C. Tarbell read a paper on "How shall we enlist the Women of the Church in Mission ary Work?" and an essay entitled, "Individual Responsibility the root of Mission Work," was read by Mrs. J.

A paper on "Life Membership" was read, and "Sources of Helpful Reading," as dis cussed, many interesting remarks were made, the general seutimeut being that lack of interest was largely due to lack of knowledge. A paper on monthly and anniver sary meetings was read hy Mrs. Shef field of Millerstown, and Mrj. Keener of Tidioute, gave a selection from II. 1$. Stowe entitled, "When he Comes." A letter was read from a minister in Nebraska, to whom the Tionesta aux iliary had seut a box of supplies. The business part of the convention being finished, a Union Meeting, led by Mrs. Tarbell, was held; all were deeply impressed, the testimony being mark ed with deep religious feeliog and mis sionary zeal.

Hopkins, Esq., aged 63 years, 2 months, and 1G days. The deceased died suddenly. lie seemed to be in unusually ;ood health and spirits on the day of his decease. He had been working arouud the store in the morning, and later in the forenoon had gone home and gone into the garden to work some potatoes planted there. He came into tho house after getting through with these and remarking that he felt tired he lit his pipe and went out and sat down under an apple tree a short distance from the house. He sat there a Wit 15 minutes and then got up and came to the house. As ho reached the porch he was observed by a young lady working at the house, to take hold of two posts that supported the porch, with his hands, and then to fall, sliding slowly down between tho posts. The young lady mentioned hurried to him. He gasped twico only after she reached, him. It is probable he had been overheated and had cooled off too suddenly, although ho had mentioned to his wife when he came in from the garden that he had a pain in his breast. He was the youngest of a family of eight four boys and four girls and is the only one yet deceased. He was, at his death, and had been for mauy years, a member of the U. P. church. He had been elected to the office of Justice of the Peace, at last Spring's election. Mr. Main, of Pleasantville, who died also quite sud denly, having been sick only a few days, a short time previous, was also a Justice of the Peace. Mr. Hopkins had always enjoyed unusually good health. In the last 25 years of his life he had never been so sick as to require the aid of a doc tor. He leaves five children, all boys, and all liviug : II. J. Hopkins of Pleasantville; J. M., of Ohio; L. J., of this place; G. T., of Iowa; and R. A., of Pleasantvillo ; all of whom were at his funeral. There is oue of the family dead a girl. The funeral took place on Monday, June 20, at 4 o'clock, P. M.
