On last Thursday II. J. Hopkins
left the country. After tbo usual in
vestigation it was discovered that he
bad taken with him all tbe avail ible
good will of the Firm and gone
East to purchase a stock of Holiday
Goods that will be an eye opener to
every body.
The family of the late Mrs.
George Morgan desire through our
columns to express their thanks to
frieuds here for the many kind acts
aud expressions uf sympathy shown
them during tbeir late sad affliction.
And especially to tbe members of the
choir for tbe sweet and appropriate
music rendered at tbe funeral.
W. J. and "Tommy" Thompson,
of Plum twoship, were in the city
this afternoon on their way home from
a deer hunt in Forest county. They
had belter luck than some of their
fellow hunters, having slain four deer,
one fox, two coons and squirrels be
yond computation. Blizzard. If that's
tbe case it beats the record thus far
this season.
It has recently been decided by
Judge Biddle, of Philadelphia, that
checks giveu in payment of debts to
persons within the same city must be
presented on the day of dale or the
following day or else the drawer can
not be held responsible for the failure
to pay them. Those who are in the
babit of holding checks for Several
days should reflect ou tbe decision.
Some of the men who started on
the boats and barges from Ibis place
last week have returned, having gotten
through to Pittsburgh safely, while
others have returned from different
points along the river, having been
unable tn. get down on account of
wind, low water and slush ice. The
river raised several Inches Monday
night and yesterday, which will most
likely let all down.
Last week the Council of Tidioute
repealed tbe ordiuance passed some
time ago exteuding tbe freedom of the
towo, as it were, to the Tionesta Gas
Compaoy. This action, following on
tbe beela of the receot gas strike in
Hickory township, would indicate that
they propose to pipe in tneir own gas,
Bui they should uot be too hasty, as
it might become necessary to come to
the Tionesta company yet for their
sopply.
A quarterly meeting will be held

males 13; total 39. The names of
pupils present every day during tbe
month are, Clarence Shaw, Walter
Miller, Byron Russell, Clarence Wil
on, Minnie Shuuk, Mary Pierson, and
John, Thomas, Kate and Olive Wolf.
Jennie Pierson aod Richard Miller
were absent but one day. School offi
cers and pareuls have not favored us
with tbeir visits yet, but we hope to
see tbem soon.
Tbe Franklin AVuw relates tbe
f illowiog account of a hair breadth
escape of a former Tionesta young
man: Fred. Curamings, who drives
the delivery wagon for W. H. and C.
W. Seaton'e variety store, of Oil City,
was the hero of an exciting runaway
near Tarkill yesterday. His team be
came frightened and started to run
While he .was pulling away on the
liuea a bit in the mouth of one of the
horses broke aod they dashed into tbe
woods. Fred, escaped injury, hut it
was an exciting ride and a perilous
stop. He had to borrow a harness to
get home with.
"Where was Moses when tbe light
went out?" is a question that seems
peculiarly applicable to tbe present
state of Tiooesta's darkuess, since the
Gas Compaoy shut the throttle on the
big torches. There seems to be a hitch
between the Company and the Coun
cil. The former bas made a prop.. si
tion to put up torches similar to tbe
one now in front of Mr. Kelly's resi
dence, for five dollars each, furnishing
every thing, and charge $1.00 per
month eaib for the use of gas. Esti
mating that twelve such would hesutfi
ceot to light tbe town, it would cost
$204 Tbe Council seems disponed to
accept this offer, but the Company re
fuses to bo bound for a longer period
tbao one year, aod here is wbere tbe
"hitch" seems to come in. The Coun
cil wants to put the matter in such
shape that at the end cf the year the
borough may not be compelled to
change egain, and tbe Company don't
want to encumber itself with a pledge
to furnish tbe lights for more than a
year. And so the matter stands. The
Council has felt its way pretty care
fully and finds that its course is en
dorsed by pretty much all tbe citizens.
Whether we wil have to depend upon
pale luna and the beautiful snow to
furnish us light for the balance of the
winter remains to be seen, but it looks
that way just now.
Tbe following from the Clarion
Jaektonian, will snugly fit all country
places in the United States and Cana
da, so far as our observation reaches,
and is therefore a good thing to pass
around: "Postmaster Kaufman enters
a righteous protest against five or six
members of tbe same family each in
quiring for mail three or four limes
per day, and he is right. Parents
should understand that it is only by
courtesy that their cbildien are given
mail matter withoat a written order,
and this courtesy should be appre
ciated. One member of a family
should be designated to lift the mail
matter for all, and parents should see
to it that other members are not per
mitted to annoy tbe postmaster and
cause delay to the petrous of the
office."
The Lawrence House of this place
is receiving a thorough overhauling,
by the new proprietors, Messrs. L. &
D. W. Agnew. Tbey have commenced
at the garret and gone to the cellar in
their cleaning op process, and given
the Hotel the most thorough reuovat
ing it has had since it was newly built
Tbe balls, as well as every room in the
house, are newly papered and made to
look us neat, clean and cheerful as a
little parlor, while gas fixtures have
been arranged all through, up stairs
and down, both for heating and light
ing. When tbe work now being done
is finished, "which will he in ample time
for court week, this house will coin
pare favorably wiih any of the first
class hotels in this section as a pleas
ant resort for the traveling public
The proprietors are old and ex per
fenced hotel men and have a knack of
making tbeir guests feel at home. In
connection with the house is a first
class livery where an excellent rig can
be had upon a moment's notice. As
to the culinary department it is scarce
ly worth while to speak, as the well
known abilities of the landladies in
charge is ample guarantee that their
table will not be excelled in either
tasteful arrangement or palatableness
and variety of substantial and deli
cacies.
OBITUARY.
Mis. Elizabeth Morgsn, relict of the
late George Morgan, was born near
Alletitown, Berks County, Pa , Dec
24, 1818, and died at the home of ber
son, Fred. M. Morgan, in Oil City
Pa., Dec. 2, 1887, and was therefore
aged 68 years, 11 months, and 8 drys
When yet a young girl Mrs. Mor
gan's parents moved to Clarion county
where she wsa married In Mr. George
Morgan when about 18 years of age,
Mr. M. being a little more than three
years htr senior. Tbe euinn, wbicb
was one of the happiest till death sep
arated them, was blessed with a large
family of children. 15 in number, o
whom eight six sons and two daogb
ters survive, the others baring been
taken off mostly iu infancy. In 1848
the family moved to Emleuton, Ve
nango counly, where they resided tin
til 1868, wLen they hecame residents
of Tionesta, wbere for so.ie time Mr
Morgan was engHged in buildiug oi
barges Theu after a residence a
Bear Creek of about 6 years they
again settled in Tionesta, where Mrs
Morgan was bereft of her aged and
devoted life partner in June, 1882
Tbe deceased continued her residence
here until persuaded to give up house
keeping and make her home with her
youogpsl son, Fred., at Oil C ity, a here
she received every comfort that could
be bestowed upon a loved and loving
mother.
Mrs. Morgan was one of the most
industrious of women, and besides hi
own large family, she carefully rcarei
three grandsons to young manhood
Of the kiudest and most sympathetic
disposition, she was beloved by all he
neighbors aud acquaintances, wh
deeply mourn ber loss. Bba waa gen
erally robust and healthy, but som
weeks ago received a stroke of paraly
sis, from which she partial ly recoverei
only to receive a second str ike, which
euded iu her death after an illness
about two weeks. The funeral services
were held in the Presbyterian Church
at this place on Saturday forenoon
last, Rev. Hickliug officiating. All
but two of her children, besides three
grandchildren, were present to pay th
last sad tribute of respect to a (lea
mother. Her remains were laid t
rest beside those of her husband i
Riverside Cemetery, May she rest i
peace.
A New Strike In this County.
Monday's Derrick has the following
special" from Tidioute, relative to
the new gas strike of which we made
mention two weeks ago:
"Latest advices from the Bucklin
well on Tract 5,207 in Forest County
say that tbe gas has increased beyond
11 expectations. It is now 45 feet in
the sand, wbicb is full of gas. Four
large and seemingly distinct veins
ve been encountered from which the
flow is very strong. Its roar can be
heard over foer miles aud is pro
nounced by every one who visits it to
be a "Jonah." The parlies interested
are still ranguiue of oil, aod with that
object in view, drilling will be resumed
Monday morning. As a gas well its
ucccss is already assured and Tidioute
will have cheap fuel in the near future.
A rig is going up on Tract 5,208,
bout one mile south of the above
well and its completion will be pushed
forward rapidly."
To which the Derrick adds editor
lly: This well is located at the
mouth of Queen, It was started some
two years ago by Bucklin and others,
aod drilled to a depth of 700 feet,
when tbe drill was stopped. Last
month, C. K. Bonk, nf Bradford, be
came interested in the venture, drill-
ug was then resumed with a view to
siokiog the well to the Cherry Grove
sand, which it was roughly estimated
ould be fuuud at about 1,400 feet.
At 1,000 feet, however, gas was struck.
For a time no attentiou was paid to it,
but it increased with every bit and
ended in a merer. Tbo drillers are at
a loss to account for it. The rock U
unidentined. .numerous wells have
been drilled both East and West of
Queen, all of them failing to find gas
except one well, a short distance from
the gasser, in which a little gas was
touud; this well is known as the
"burnt well," and the new rig, we bear
about is located between these wells.
At 10 feet in the sand something went
wrong with tbe jars, work suspended,
and nothing baa been done since. C.
K. Book came dowu from Bradford
Friday to witness the effect of further
drilling, but upon learning the facts
above stated, he returned to Bradford
ny tne nrst tram. Air. Book is as
much at sea concerniug tbe remarks
ble fiud as any body. Gas or any
thing else at that depth was entirely
unexpected. Speaking nf the pressure,
Mr. Bonk says it will lift a full set of
tools off the casing head, but he bas
some doubts about its lusting qualities
The well is blowing off through a
2 inch discharge, which probably ac
counts for the great noise made in es
caping, which is beard at a long dis
tance from the well. If the supply
holds out and proves to be reasonably
continuous, it will be a teo strike fur
Tidioute. Io any event, being the
first gas found on East Hickory, it is
an interesting study and there is no
telling in advance of the drill what it
may lead to.
1887 vs. 1865.
Ed. Rkpi'blican :
Equally unfounded and untrue is the
assertion that the G. A. R. is but a politi
cal machine and run in the interest of the
Republican parly, Ac. No assertion could
be more foreign to the facts than the above,
It is certainly amazing to see how low
some people can bring themselves aimply
to gratify tbeir passions for rule or ruin
Let us consider the ground work of this
falso accusation against the G. A. R. : No
party, as such, has arrayed itself against
the G. A. R. All parties have repeatedly
proclaimed their admiration for tbe old
Soldier and ther dependent ones. And
ao far as mere words aud proui'aea go
there has been nothing more to be deaired
from any parly ; or in other words, if the
resolutions in conventions could have
taken disabled soldiers from the poor
houses, relieved the destitute widows and
orphans, all would ere this time been gen
erously provided for. Nor does the G. A,
R. stand arrayed against any party. It
stands not upon the platform of either Re
publican or Democratic party; It stands
upon a broader platform than po'itical ties
can or dare inaugurate, nuuiely: Frater
nity, Charity and Loyalty.
The G. A. R. has no quarrel with any
party; their complaints are against er
tain individuals or members of different
parties who having been elected to olllee
on platforms which advocated exact jus
tice, to the soldier and thoir dependent
widowa and orphans, but have gone back
on their pledges and have recorded their
names against all legislation created In the
Interest of tho soldier. Prominently fig
uring among tliis class is (i rover Cleve
land, and simply liecause the soldiers have
lifted their almost unanimous voices
against his acts and insults, certain politi
cal tricksters are making the air, as it
were, bliu-K with calumniation. But whilo
thoro is an old soldier left to tread tho soil
of a redeemed country, an eye not too dim
to behold the grand old stars and stripes
under which they fought, no nfllcial posi
tion will shelter any man high or low
from the just indignation they may incur
at the hands nf the soldier. The old sol
dier has something that is nearer and dear
er to him than political affiliations dear
er to them are the men who stood shoul
der to shoulder in the shock of conflict,
who marched together through storm and
mud, vtb(e muskets joined together in
shooting tbe life oot ot treason aud rebel
lion, who suffered an I starved together lu
prison pens, aud I hough they do uot now
recognize any necessity lor eontlict be
tween their comradeship and their politi
cal adHiations, between their lasting af
fection for comrade and political l-aders
and associates, yet should there be a lie
ceseitv for this there is no room for doubt
as to which will bo sacrificed j it will bo
the political tie. every time.
The old soldiers hxve ample and suffi
cient reasons for denouncing, almost
unanimously, as they do, tho lnults and
acts hurled upon them by the President
and his unprincipled anti-Union dictators ;
they have Incurred the cnndld Indignation
of the soldiery and It is but mete that tho
same should revert again upon the de
serving heads Irrespective of party adula
tions. Is It possible that Mr. Cleveland
and his dictator and the leaders ot his
party have the least shadow of a right to
expect tho old soldier to honor the Presi
dent in a manner contrary to the honor
paid to even the heroes of a dozen battles f
Yes, by their fruits ye shall know them.
Thny did expect, or at least they desired
it, at Wbcollng in August last. Every
sensible Individual knows for himself that
the there conceived idea of placing the
bust of an enemy of tho soldier In such a
manner as to Imj saluted by thorn would
have been accepted as their approval of
the course he had pursued In rolntlon to
the soldier, had tho soldiers unceremo
niously passed under and saluted the bust.
No; we say to Mr. Cleveland and his par
ticular friends, that It was not tho dear old
flag tho old soldiors there refused to sa
lute, for their love for that flng they fought
so long aud well to sustain Is as dear to
thsm as tho blood tbnt courses their veins ;
but it was the stain they saw upon it they
so honorably refused to recognize. Too
well did the soldier recollect the opportu
nity Mr. Cleveland had of mingling with
tbem in paying their annual, solemn and
heart-felt tribute to tbeir dead comrades
on tbe thirtieth of May last ; did he accept
that apportunityT No, but he takes hia
pole and lino on that day dear to every
patriotic heart, and strolls along the moun
tain streams. There waa no pleasure suit
ed to Ills in ind and affections; ho fled to
other parts in quest of associations more
congenial to bis taste, liko the owl that
flies from the vocal grove and the society
of the feathered choir, and prefers tho
shades of night to the beams of day. Is
It any wonder that the old soldiors should
not prefer to associate with blm at St.
Louis so soon after tho above episode 7 Is
it any wonder that the soldlera speak out
so unanimously against a roan whose only
ambition is for self aggrandizement;
whose patriotism Is so weak as to permit
bim to step across tbe line of authority
and band over relics won by other bands
on bloody fields f
We assert without fear of successful
contradiction that the G. A. R. has done
more to bridge the chasm of sectional an
imosity than any other set or class of men
In existence. Nor have they done so by
making concessions unbecoming true
soldiers; tbey have not, nor never will,
loso sight of this fact : Tbe North was
eternally right; the South waa eternally
wrong. Tbe soldiers on both aides have
met each other time and again and shook
bands over this solemn, stubborn declara
tion. But strange Hounds c.omo to our
ears of late; we have beard no such
sounds for many years:. Mr. Cleveland
scarcely roaches bis home from his South
err. trip until a Davis, an l-arly, Is talking
treason and kissing the emblems of rebel
lion. Whether Mr. Cleveland encouraged
and set anew the slumbering brands of
treason on fire, we know not, and perbapa
nevor shall, but we will aea In the future
what we shall see. Nor will we be slow
in sustaining the character and principles
of our order no matter by whom assailed
Political ties dwindle into Insignificance
whon compared to our love of country,
ber patriotlo defenders and dependent
ones. J. A

of wriu rs seleote'l for the purpose of
making the best paper.
It la adapted to tho improvement and
enjoyment ol both sexes, of all ages, of
every family whether a resident of tbo
city, village or country.
Not a word of crimo or Impure sugges
tion in any part of tho paper.
It Is an old paper and carries its age and
reputation equally well.
Now we aro seeking a now and larger
circle nf readers. As an inducement to
this end tho Weekly Press in connection
