LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.
An Important Matter.
It should not be forgotten that
Thursday, September Cth, is the last
day for the registration of voters.
Every person who intends to vote
should see that his name is on the reg
istry list, and the best way to attend
to the matter is to do it personally.
Young members of the party should
be particular to see that they have not
been missed. County Committeemen
and Vigilance Committees should look
up all Republicans and see that they
are registered. Do not neglect to at
teud to this matter promptly.

Mr. Will II. May, of Louisville,
Ky., who has been rusticating at
Chautauqua with his family for a
couple of weeks, took a run down
here to pay his mother and other rela
tives and friends a short visit, return
ing yesterday. Mr. May's many warm
friends here were pleased to note his
apparent good health.
The Pennsylvania Reserve meet
ing at Bloomsburg, Pa., on Grand
Army Day Sept. 6tb, promises to be
an unusually large and interesting
gathering. It will be interesting for
all Reserves to go because, besides the
opportunity of meeting comrades not
seen since the war, the monument
question will receive particular atten
tion and important action will be
taken.
September 6th is the last day on
which voters can be registered. Re
publican workers, see that all Repub
licans are upon tho lists!
A large party, numbering over
one hundred, took the spocial train for
Bradford at this station this morning.
From present appearances the veterans

man is holding dowu Mr. Craig's place
at this station.
Rev. Rumberger had a call from
the burglars last Sunday night, they
having attempted to effect an entrance
by one of the windows. That is dan
gerous business, as we understand the
Reverend gentleman is a "dead shot,"
and doubtless has a good assortment
of funeral sermons on hand and could
easily "raft one over" to fit a case of
this kind.
Quite a respectable empty boat
flood occurred in the river last Satur
day and a number of boats were started
for the lower market. Lawrence &
Smearbaugh started four empty boats
which we believe got through all right.
The Collins & Watson boats also got
through, but some loaded boats and
barces of Messrs. Collins & Co., of
Nebraska, were stranded between here
and Oil City, the water having fallen
rapidly.
Mr. E. K. Range, of Mill Village,
Erie Co., is paying the scenes of his
early manhood in this section a visit
this week, and while here is the guest
of his niece, Mrs. A. McCray. Mr,
Range is one of Erie's prominent citi
zens, having twice held the responsi
ble position of Auditor of bis county.
He is a lover of natural scenery, and
thinks the beautiful Allegheny fur
nishes some of the grandest to be
found anywhere. The Republican
acknowledges a pleasant call from
him yesterday.

The Sunday Schools at Chautauqua.
The excursion of the Methodist and
Presbyterian Sunday Schools to Chau
tauqua as previously announced was
made on last Friday. Nearly 250
persons, or thereabouts maybe a few
more or less took in the trip. But
for the rain that was coming down in
big drops and plenty of them when
folks woke up in the morning to get
ready to go, and didn't stop only for a
few short minutes now and then until
way along in the forenoon, many more
than did go would have gone. The
weather looked discouraging when the
start was made and didn't change its
"horrid front" to any appreciable de
gree until the train bearing the per
sistently jolly and obstinately happy
pleasure seekers came almost within
sight of the low bills encircling the
basin where lay Lake Chautauqua
like a jewel of first-rate water, as it is.
Then the heart of the weather clerk
softened, the clouds broke apart and
winked and blinked at each other
across strips of blue sky out of which
the sunshine beamed with the benigni
ty of a great character conferring a
beautiful blessing on a worthy object
for a blessed purpose.
There was no delay on the road.
The train was pushed right along.
Had the conductor in charge of the
train been christonod Eli be couldn't
have done better. The only thing ap
proximating a "hitch" iu the whole
affair was the delay in waiting for a
steamer to cross the lake after getting
off the train at Mayville. A small
boat was waiting, but it wouldn't carry
all the party, and so we had to await
the "big boat with the upstairs to it,
and a stove in it," as one of the little
folks expressed it. After it came the
big boat lay at the dock before start
ing long enough for lunch, and what
an onslaught on "vittles and sich."
The ride across the lake to Point
Chautauqua, and then on over to the
Assembly grounds, was delightful
everybody enjoyed it. The rain Lad
cooled the air, a pleasant breeze was
blowing, and when the sunshine
streamed out from among the clouds
that were getting out of the way so
fast that they ail broke to pieces in
their hurry, and it did that frequent'
ly too everything took on a bright
and cheerful look that was refreshing
and exhilirating.
Having arrived at the landing we
all got into the grounds finally, and
the party broke up into duets, nnd
trios, and quartets, and squads, and
detachments, and went out to view the
land, and to take mental possession at
least of some portions of the goodly
heritage. Some wandered through
Paleetino, climped its rugged hills,
and scaled its rocky mountains ; others
went across Jordan aud the Dead Sea
to drink of the waters of the sulphur
spriug; many went to Jerusalem to
go about its walks and look on its
many historic places, interesting from
a multitude of associations, pleasing,
painful, tragic, and sacred. And we
saw one of the steadiest business men
of the county aboard of the roller
coaster, surrounded by as many boys
as could get aboard with him taking
the mad ride with its wild plunge
with all the gusto of the moot reckless
boy whose ride he paid for.
Many of the curious, the inquisitive,
and those interested in such things,
looked at tbo wonders in the Museum
The Kindergarten, the Hall of Phil
osophy, tho Congregational, and Melh
odist, headquarters were inspected
at least from the outside, and some
even dared to enter. Some went to
the Temple and rested. A great
many visited the Auditorium, and sat
in its pleasant shade. Nearly all
heard the lecture on Savonarola by
Rev. Gunsaulus at the Amphitheatre,
Little patches of twos, and threes, and
more, lingered here and there at the
soda fountain. And one of the old
folks who went along to take care of
the little folks was seen coming away
from the popcorn dispensatory with
certain mysterious packages in blue
and red which be was seen to inspec
later on with evident satisfaction.
Then ever so many found friend
and acquaintances on the grounds.
There were mauy mauy other things
that were pleasant, and that were en
joyed but we musn't dilate.
When we got back to the landing
to return to Mayville there was just
one great big regret that everybody
shared in, and that was that we couldo'
stay loutrer: and everybody showed
in commou an overwhelming aggre
gate wish to come back again some
time under at least no worse condi
tioos. The ride ou the steamer across
to Mayville was even more delightfu
than the ride over in the moruiug had
been ; there was wind euough to
throw the surface of the lake into
small waves, and to rock the small
boats up aud down that were rowed
here and there by parties of two and
three who were abroad fishing, or on
other business of a pleasurable or
agreeable character. We boarded ou
train or our part ol it wbicu was
lying on a side track, and while it was
a little crowded owing to want of seats
a want that was fully met when onr
train was "made up" and ready to re
turnthe lunch basket aad boxes
were opened and the evening "spread"
was even an improvement on the noon
'lunch." And how generous people
werel A poor friendless waif oould
easily have secured two or three sup
pers, even if he had had to go break
fastless next morning. At half past
nine we were all disembarking at the
station here at Tionesta, some sleepy,
all a little tired perhaps, but every
body happy and satisfied.
The day has gone, but in our calen
dar we mark it with a red letter. The
excursion is among the things of the
past, but its memory is one of the
brightest. It was a pleasure unmixed
with the bitter of any unpleasantness,
and a day of recreation that was as
wholesome as it was joyous.
A grip of thanks to those who orig
inated the scheme, and so successfully
carried it out. Jim Ergo.

The Late John Cobb.
Dikd In Frewsbnrg, N. Y., on tho 15th
ay of August, 1888, John Cobb, a;;od 73
cars.
Such Is the record awaiting all humani
ty, with the obvious changes. A more
extended notice would seem to bo do-
mandod in the present instanco, for the
reason that ho has been a conspicuous fig
ure In a largo circle ol acquaintances.
Ho was born at Bakerslield, Vt., May
id, 1815, of Massachusetts parents, and
was tho youngest and survivor of six
girls and 5 boys. His parents immigrated
n to the town of Gerry, Chautauqua Co.,
N. Y., in 1818, with that largo Inllux of
Bottlers from tho Eastern States that set in
soon after the war of 1812. At that time
Goiry was comparatively a wilderness
without roads without schools, or any of
the advantages, possessed by the present
generation, and tho settlers endured hard
ships and privations of which tho people
of to-day can form no adoquatn conception.
A densely wooded country inhabited by
wild beasts, and wild men, who hud re
cently surrendered the title to their lands
under compulsion, were the conditions
that confronted tho early Bottlers; condi
tions that they accepted with a spirit born
of Intrepidity. Under those adverse sur
roundings the subjoct of this notice grew
up to manhood, without educational ad
vantages, save those atiorded in a log
school bouse two or three months in the
year. Poverty was his mother, and his
master was necessity; and under these
potent factors, was possibly evolvod that
enterprising and indomitable spirit that
characterized his whole life. The desire
to better his condition manifested itself
before he had reached his majority, in the
purchase of lumber of one kind or auoth
cr, and transporting it down the navigable
streams to the lower market. The profits
arising from those transactions were never
large, and often losses resulted. But lum
bering or clearing land for agricultural
purposes, was the only business presenting
itself to men of small means, and to these
occupations he devoted himself as best he
could, until the year 1837, when be was
married to Elsie J. Pearco. This partner
ship resulted In changing his aspirations
for wider fields of enterprise, and four
years afterward we find him In tho lum
ber woods of Pennsylvania, at tho forks of
Tionesta, whore now is Lower Sheffield,
He remained there but a singlo year, and
moved to Ridgway, on the Clarion river.
The vast forests of timber that were then
untouched on the Clarion waters, and
which have since contributed so largoly
towards supplying the markets on the
Ohio river, were Just beginning to invite
the attention of the enterprising. He en,
tered gradually into tho manufacturing of
lumber, Increasing his business from year
to year. And as his business increased,
that wonderful tact and executive talent
was developed, that enabled him to over
see and arrange the dotalla of immense
operations in manufacturing and gotting
to market large quantities of lumber. It
was upon these waters likewise be be'
came Intimately connected in business
transactions with Charles Fisher, N. A,
Lowry, Josmh Hall, Chapin Hall and Jo,
seph S. Hyde, who were the Napoleans in
the lumber trado about that time. These
men have in like manner passed away,
but have left their tostimony in bis favor
in numerous instances.
Such is the very brief outline oi a busy
life, extending over a period of more than
fifty years, and many incidents might be
related connected with his operations that
would be interesting. But it will not be
through his achievements as an active,
untiring business man, that he will be
longest remembered. Those who knew
him best will revere his inomory for bis
goodness of heart, his kindness to his
friends. Under nil circumstances, when
disasters overtook him, when floods swept
away the accumulation of years, when
cares and responsibilities, so great that
they would have crushed tho spirit of al
most any other person, came upon him
he was careful to never unload his cares
upon his friends, but on tho contrary la
bored to lighten their loads and cheer thelr
pathway throf- jjj the gloom of doubt and
uncertainty. .n.,'.r.,i Hopeful and uncoin
plaining, never so lqrpy aa whon making
every one arouud him happy, ho could
have said in a better sense what Pericles
In his last illness. "No Athenean has ever
put on mourning in consequouee of any
act of mine."
If it be tro, that the measuro of our do
serts is the amount of happiness we have
oouforrod upon othors, ho certainly will
be deserviug of a groat deal. And it cer
tuinly is true that our greatest happiness
consists in the reduction of having done
some good to our neighbor aud friends,
Perhaps this may account for tho fact that
undor all circumstances he was tho same
kind friend, the same indulgent father,
the same loving husband, whoso buoyant
spirits dispelled all care, whoso whole aim
seemed to be to make the world happier
for his having lived In it. Notwithstuud
ing bis education was limited, his Btroug
common sense and accurate observation
made him more than an ordinary man,
He possessed more courage than polito-
ness, more strength thau polish; ho loved
the truth for truth's sako, and the rigli
because It was right ; he thought the best
Christian was ho who did tiio most good
to his fellows. He died as ho had lived
loving his friends, but not hating his ene
mies, and detesting sui erstitiou.
His long illness, which commenced ii
188i, was born w ith uncomplaining forti
tilde, and he lies buried witli his parents
and seven of the family, iu tho cemetery
at Buck leu's Comers, N. Y.
