A neigh bor disappeared after the robbery aud officers are hunting for kim. Mr. btewart owns considerable land in Foribt county, and is known to quite a nimber of our citizens. Barn urn's advertising car went over the railroad on Saturday evening attached to the 3:52 passeoger train. There is steam piano in the car which discoursed rouBio and flung spray to the great delight of the small youth who were near enough to bear aod see. It Is being quietly circulated that in spite of the fact that the Standard has knocked the price of Lima oil down to 15 cents on account of its al leged worthlessness, the Solar reGnery (Standard) is using 7,000 barrels of the article daily. Siverlyville correspondence to Oil City Blizzard: Mr. Hood, of Tiones ta, Fa., is erecting a two story build ing on Imperial avenue. The first floor he will occupy with a meat mar ket and the upstairs will be used as a dwelling for bis family, whom be will remove to this place. Mr. Ritler of Maybnrg, went over to Titusville, Monday morning. He is one of the committee on arrange ments for the F. M. Campmeeting to bo held there commencing to-day. The meeting will continue one week. Quite a number of persons from this place and this county will attend. This Is the time of year when the farmer who does not take a newepaper because ha cannot afford it rueen with two or three traveling confidence men, and gets cheated out of enough money in one day to pay for a subscription to half a dozen daily papers from every State in the Union. Ex. j Business men should look nut for a new counterfeit one dollar piece. The piece is of excellent workmanship and when new is exceedingly hard to detect except by its weight. It is made of glass and composition, and after a sbort time it will tarnish. It is thought to be the work of western counterfeiters. A bufh meeting will be held at Nebraska commencing on Friday eve niog of this week and continuing Sat urday evening, Sunday morning, af lernoon and evening. Rev. Small will conduct the meeting and will be as sisted by Rev. J. Z. Armstrong of Franklin, Pa. The attendance prom ises to be good. All are invited. Robert Young, of Newmanville, has taken the agency of the Washing ton Street Nurseries, of Geneva, N. Y., a very reliable firm, and has be gun his can vacs for the fall delivery.

The following puzzle may be of interest: Two trains, each consisting of a locomotive (A and B) and four cars and traveling in opposite direc tions on same track meet ench other at a turn table large enough to bold either an engine and a car, two cars or both locomotives. They must pass each other, aud it can bo douo. N. Y. Sun. The name of P. C. Boyle, mana ger, appears at he head of the Brad ford Era editorial column, vice W. F. Jordan & Co.

It is said to have orig inated by some person's throwing a lighted match into, a waste basket containing refuse paper. Tho loss is probably fully covered by insurance. We have just received one of the prettiest songs ever written, called ''There's no one like Mother to tue," by Charles A. Da vies, tor a nice borne song, in which both tho words aod musio are so very pretty, it is hard to equal. It cau be played on the piano or organ, and will be sent to any address for only 22 1-cent stamps. Address the publisher, J. C.

There was a large attendance, almost every part of the county being represented, and a general good time was bad. The Franklin Evening Xcwa has absorbed the evening Penny IWm. The absorption was so quietly and un ostentatiously accomplished that the public was hardly aware of the chango. There wasn't room in Franklin for two evening papers and one had to succumb to the inevitable ; the result was the survival of the fittest. The News will continue in its present pros perity, and will remaiu a most wel come visitor to its many daily readers. Our beet withes o with it. The Clarion county grand jury having found a true bill against Mrs. Dinsraore, charged with complicity in the murder of James C. Davis, for which David L. King was found guil ty in the first degree,, her trial will take place this week. The case excites considerable interest in the Clarion courts. A disease, which has thus far proved fatal in every instance, has at tacked the cattle in the neighborhood of Newmanville. It commences with a sort of dumpishness and alm-ist en tire loss of appetite, and the animal becomes reduced to mere skin and bones, living only a few days after being attacked. The gtealest trouble seems to lie in the throat and stomach. Ben. Mealy has lost two cows and a heifer, and P. C. Blocher a heifer, and other cattle are threatened. A new rig is going up about twen ty five rods from the Carnahan well, Harmony township, on the McNwtt tract, Messrs. Bovee & Duck having the lease. The Carnahan well is pump ing steadily, but the production is not given, although it is said the well is holding up first rate. Stewart & Co. have located a well near the old Hen ry Setley place on Jamieson run, about one southeast of the Carnaban, in the direction of the river. Drilling will commence as soon as possible. Harvey Foreman has discovered novel, effectual, reliable method of checking the ravages of the potato bug. It is simple, and should be known to every farmer and gardener in the county. It costs nothing, and saves a vast amount ot labor. He feels it his duty to impart tho secret to his suffering friends. He is not the seventh son of a seventh son, but bis method works for all that. He just lets the weeds grow up and hide the potatoes so the hugs can't fiud them. The Democrats of this county held their primaries on Saturday, and convention yesterday, which resulted in the tollowtng ticket being nomi nated: For Prothonotary, D. W. Clark; Sheriff, II. H. McClelland; County Commissioners, W. D. Shields, and Pa reus Coptlaud ; County Audi tors, Wm. Blum and F. C. Lacy. Jury Commissioner, Amos L. Cooper. Orion Siggins of Hickory, was elected Chair- man of the County Committee, and Col. John Putereou of Trunkeyville' delegate to the State Couvenlion. The third annual reunion of the Northwestern Association, G. A. 11., will be held in Oil City, one week from to-morrow, August 25th. It will no doubt be the largest gathering of veterans ever witnessed iu this vicinity. Capt. Gen. Stow Post, will attend in a body aud will be accompanied by the Tionesta Cornet Band. For the bene fit of the posts and all others along the river who may wish to attend, the B., N. Y. & P. Railroad will run a special train which will leave Warren at 8:30 a. ra., aud returning will leave Oil City at 9:30 p. u., at one fare for the round trip. Mr. E. A. Yetter of Marienville, called on the Republican Monday afternoon. He reports Jenks as being quiet but very active this summer. He informs us that Mr. Cyrus Hunt is putting up a large building, store room and dwelling combined, on the corner near Ex-Supt. Rohrer's dwell ing across from Major Watson's hotel. This year, so far, he tells us, is the best business year Jenks has had yet. Lumber and shingles have been in good demand aud at a fair price. The shingle mills are pushed to fill orders. We are gla i to note the activity of Old Forest, and congratulate ber ou her boom. And now Cochrantoo is having a streak of luck. New Jersey glass meu have completed negotiations with P. C. Heydrick, of Erie, for a site for glass works on land owned by bim at Cochrauton, where, the Herald says, they intend building the largest plate glass factory in the United States, ex pending oo the plant alone (300,000. The sand stone found on the summit between French Creek and Deer Creek is said to be remarkably fiae aud pure. We have the same fioe sandstoue here, aud the same natural gas, but somehow we're not pulling in any glass works. Franklin A'ems. Ditto, Tionesta. The property of Marcus Hulings, of Einlenton, is in the bauds of the sheriff. Mr. Hulings was one of the earliest oil operators in the Bradford field, having purchased COO acres for 820,000, upon which he realized a handsome fortune. HU wealth was at one time estimated at $2,000,000, but unfortunate investments in silver mines iu Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico swept away his fortune, and in tho evening of an unusually active aud successful life he finds himself finan cially stranded. Ex. It is thought matters can be so adjusted as to allow Mr. II. time to turu himself, in which cute he will yet come nut all right, as be has property considerably in excess of the jndgmeuts against him, but it is hard to realize ou it ut preteut. Byrom Station. The new M. E. Church is completed and services were held in it last Sun day. We are glad to say that the people of Byrom's have one of the finest little churches in Forest county. While attending the donation last Friday evening, the store of W. H. Frost was broken into. There was about twenty dollars in the drawer which the burglars carried away; also three or four pairs of shoes and several pairs of woolen blankets, and many other things. No trace of the bur glars has yet been found. There was a large attendance at the donation last Friday evening, for the benefit of the Pastor of the M. E. Church. The people gave bountifully ; they received about forty dollars worth of goods and about ten or twelve dollars in currency. Mr. Stakely was appointed President, John Fr ,st, Sec retary and Treasurer, and W. II., and W. K. Frost, receiving committee. After the parcels were all received, the young ladies passed around the refreshments. O. W. K. , Aug. 15. Duly of Voters. There are several requirements of the voters of Pennsylvania in order that they may be qualified to exercise the rights of citizens at the niuuicipal aud genera elections held under the laws of this State, any omission to perform these duties resulting in- tho disfranchisement of the delinquent. The first duty is that of registering, which is required to be done sixty days subsequent to the election at whieh the voter offers his ballot; ac companying registry is the assessment of a poll tax, which must be paid at least thirty days previous to the elec tion. The omission to register may be corrected by proving residence, but the failure to be assessed and pay a State or County tax within the pre scribed time is fatal to the voter's case, and will work his disfranchise ment. This year the 8th day of Sep tember is the last day upon which vot ers may be registered, and every voter should see to it that his name appears properly on the lists, which may now be seen at the usual voting places in each district. At Rest. Seldom does duty place the respon sibility upon us of writing the obituary of one whose whole moral nature is one of virtue. We cau hardly make ourselves believe that the spirit has vacated its home in the fotm of her we gazed upon so calm in death. How applicable to us are the words of the Master "Be ye also ready." Cora Siogixs, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. D. S. Knox of this place, was born in Tionosta, February 25, 1862. On Sept. 29, 1885, she was mar ried to Jacob Siggins son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Y. Siggins, by whom she has had one child, which with her huhband outlive her. For nearly eleven years she has had occasional attacks of spinal disease which developed in severe pain in the head. For over six months the attacks have become more frequent and the accompanying pain much more serious, aud at times alarming. Thursday evening Aug. 4th, she was again taken down and during the acute stages ber life was despaired of. She kept her bed until Saturday morn ing, the 13th, wheu she arose, as she said, to put things in order, as she felt that death was near. Sunday after noon she agaiu became worse, and at 8 o'clock relatives were hurriedly call ed in. In tbis critical condition she lay iu a semi-comatose state until the next eveniug at 10 o'clock, when all that was of earth became lifeless and cold. Her christian life was an example of integrity and enjoyment in the ser vice of the Nazareue. She had been a loyal member of the M. E. Church for many years and until domcsttc du ties and sickness kept her away, a faithful scholar and attractive teacher in the Sabbath School. She was ready to seperate fruru a loved bosbaud and idolized parents and even longed to meet sister aud brother where sickness aod paiu never come. The sympathy of friends aud acquaiutaucca is ten dered the bereived. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. M. Small at the M. E. Church to-day, at 1 P. M., after which the remains were interred iu Uivcriido Cemetery. Call For County Convention. All persons interested iu the Pro hihiliou cause, will please meet at Court House, Tionesta, Pa , Saturday afternoon, August 20lh, at 1:30 p. iu., to elect delegates to stale convention ; arrange ticket for fll election ; choose county committeemen for ensuing year aod such other busiue as may come beforo them.

The nnnnnl Convention of tho Pennsyl vania Miller's State Association will be held tbis year in Willlnnmport on Sept. fl. After the business session of tho Conven tion there will bo an excursion to Niagara Falls and Watkln's Glen. Tho reunion of the 145th Regiment, P.

A full attendance of all the survivors of tho regiment is desired, In order that they may decide on a design for the nioii'iment that is to mark tho po sition of the command at Gettysburg. The saw mill or Arthur MeKenney, jr., half a mile wctit of Irvineton, was entire ly destroyed by lire Sunday morning, to gether with over 100,000 feet of sawed pino lumber owned by Robert Kinnear, of YounfTsvillo, Pa. Cause of fire, supposed Incendiary. No Insurance on the mill or lumber. Tho latest craze among ladies is said to be tho "hair album" that is, they ask their gentlemen friends for a lock or their hair, around which they tic a blue ribbon anil paste it In an album and aliovo it write the gentleman's name, age, height, and remarks on his general appearance, disposition, etc. Two Sharpsville boys loaded a pipe with powder and gave it to a third to smoke. An explosion occurred and he was badly burned. Tho boys were arrest ed, their fathors settled and' then went to look for the fellow who sold them tho powder. They got him in tho shapo of J. J. Mold, who plead guilty and paid live dollars and costs. Mercer Dispatch. Col. Dan Rice, tho veteran showman, was in Krio on Friday night, on his most recent honeymoon trip. Tho Herald says: "Tho burden of matrimony sits as lightly on his 712-j ear-old shoulders as a thistle down on the flanks of a 2-yeai-old steer. Ho explained that recent preparations to shoot him lull of holes in Texas had had no ell'cct in accelerating his return, but expressed his gratification at being once more in the land of Christian privileges and small-bored revolvers." Not to bo outdone by a medical writer a southern exchango comes out with the following health hints for hot weather: Don't drink too much ico water j drink champagne. Don't work too hard go off on a four months' vacation. Don't eat too much meat; confine yourself to salads and pate de foie gras. Don't walk too much ; rido In a cab. Don't lose your temper ; If you do, advertise for it. Don't fret; don't talk politics; don't ask if it is warm enough ; if you have an inclination to these vices commit suicide. A cat in Cochranton soems to have mo nopolized about all the fun that vai going last week, according to this report in the Times : A citizen took home a large sheet of fly paper the other day and placed it in tho pantry. The house cat saw the paper, and jumping upon it her four feet wore stuck fast. Puss set up a terrible yelling, and in trying to get herself extricated from the sticky stuff she rolled over and tho paper rolled around her. Releasing the cut was a tedious task, and about half her fur came off with the paper. It is a fact that tho guage of the Pitts burgh fc Western Railroad, between But ler and Foxburg, is to be widened within a year. In order to avoid heavy grades, a greater portion of the old lino of the road between Uutler and Kama City will be abandoned, thus leaving Millerstown without railway facilities. Six or seven miles of the Shenango & Allegheny track from Butler will form part of the new road, the remainder of the route leading from a point on that road through Greece City and Troutman to Karns City, where the old road will bo widened through Pe trolia aud Itruin to Foxburg with but few changes in tho route. Petrolia Record. The stockholders of tho West Hickory Oil and Mining company, whieh was or ganized twenty-five years ago, during tho oil craze, will meet shortly to authorize the sale of the company's property and to divide the assets among the members, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. "Tho com pany was never a financial success," said Mr. J. J. Brooke, the counsel for the Pennsylvania railroad. "They kept a very elaborate set of books, but an exam ination of them reveals nothing but dis bursements on one sido and no receipts on the other. It is tho old, old story. Twenty-live years ago tho company was organ ized during the oil excitement and expect ed, with many others, to reap a rich har vest. A great deal of money bus been mudo iu oil, but this company never got any of it. Somebody had to lose in order that others might make. They bought considerable property In Venango county which they still hold. Well, it never turn ed out anything. A number of wells were dug, but tho yield was small and the profits were in proportion. No gushers were found, and the land which was sup posed to bo very valuable was not worth much and will bo sold for what it will bring. Many of the stockholders have probably forgotten that there ever was such a company formod. There are at present not more than three stockholders. Tho company will bo disliundcd and will live only iu the mem ory of those who invested heavily iu the venture and bust." There is a typographical error in spelling the word "trust" on the back of the new five dollar silver cerlilicates, There is an "a" for a "u' making it "trast." You will find it right over the letter "t" in the word "states." Now don't borrow a V to see. Ex.
