At tbe recent meeting of the

Everybody hereabouta enjoyed a
quiet Christmas seemingly, but withal
a very happy one. Tbe "trees" at
the Presbyteriao and M. E. Churches
were among the pleasant features of
Christmas eve, and all the Rabbatli
bchool. scholars were pleasantly re
aemoerei oy canta.
Our thanks are due Mr. C. M.
Colt, foreman of the job rooms of tbe
Meadville Tribune Republican, for a
copy of tbe splendid Centennial edi
tiou oi mat journal, it is in pam-

is altogether a master piece of typo-
grspbio excellence, reflecting great
credit upon Air. Colt as an artist in
tbe profession.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Rolets bad
a reunion on Christmas of their chil
dren and grand-children, consisting of
Mr. and Mrs. II. W. Roberta and
children of May ville, N. Y. ; Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Jamieoon and daughter
Belle, of Freeport, Pa.; and Mr. and
Mrs. C. M. Colt and children of Mead

enjoyable one.
A special from Clarion nnder dale
of Deo. 27, to the Derrick says, Hon.
James T. Maffett, member of tbe
present Congress from the district of
which Clarion county is a part, for
merly the Twenty-fifth, now tbe Twenty-eighth,
bas been admitted to tbe
asylum at North Warren as a private
patient. The difficulty seems to be
excessive nervousness, which was
brought on by the arduous labors of
his Congressional campaign.
And so it wasn't for nothing that
our genial Ex. Dep. Sheriff, Will Al
lan, has been coming up from his
borne at West Hickory bo often, as
will be seen by our marriage notices.
Miss Ilinkle has for some time been
tbe efficient clerk of Prothonotary
Arird; and. we congratulate Will as
well as his wife on this happy result.
May they live long and proper.
Warren Mail. To which the Repub
lican adds a fervent "Amen."
Nick Thompson Camp, No. 28,
Sons of Veterans, of Ibis place, met
last Wednesday night in special- ses
sion to receive a visit from Chaa. M.
Cott, the Lieutenant Colonel of Penn
sylvania Division, who gave the boys
renewed iuepiration by his account of
the growth and bright prospects of tbe
order. It was resolved by all present
Intake op tbe work of the camp with
greater earnestness, and advance it to
the front. Officers were nominated, to
be elected at the meeting tbe first
Thursday night in January. Plans
were also discussed to add various
features of interest to the work of the
camp. The men, hers of the camp are
composed of the right sort of stuff,
aod have now gone in with a firm de
termination to win.
At the recent erm of court a
decree was made dividing Harmony
township into two election districts,
tbe same to be known as Upper aod
Lower Harmony. Tbe election offi
cers in tbe new district for the coming
election are: J. K. Green, Judge of
Election ; E. B. Head and Jesse D.
Dawson, Inspectors. Tbe Dunn &
Turner old slore building, at ' West
Hickory, was chosen as the polling
place for tbe new district. The bal
ance of the court business was dis
posed of aa follows : Case of Geo. S.
Cbadman vs. J. M. Kepler, verdict
for tbe plaiutiff for $225. In tbe suit
of Peter Liudtl against Hickory
township, an action to recover damages
for injuries received .while driving
over tbe "Narrows" above Little
Hickory creek last winter, tbe jury
disagreed after several hours' deliber
ation. Two dry boles in tbe new oil field
of Itarmouy township, is about the
size of operations for the past two
weeks. The. Harmony Oil Co. on the
bead of McClaffurty Run brought iu
a duster of the dustiest order. The
Compromise Oil Co. on the McCal
mont tract, south of the Daweon Ruu
well, brought tbeir well in, and re
ports say she would make a tip top
powder house. Thiee failures would
seem- to iudicate tbat, wherever the
hel, runs, it is not in a southerly di
rection at any rate. Two rigs are
now building, one on the Baird tract,
by Kelly & Co., and one on the Tio
uesta Oil Co.'s lease, Dawsoo farm.
These rigs will be fiuiohed tbis week,
and drilling will begin at once. Grove
&, Co. have a rig nearly completed on
James Church's farm near Little
Hickory, Hickory twp., and will know
in a couple of weeks what there is in
that section for the hungry oil hunter.
Ou Wednesday of last week, Dec.
26, at about 9 o'clock in tbe morning,
ibe dwelliug house of G. W. Zeots,
on his farm, situate two miles below
this place, caught fire and burned to
the ground. -During Ibe night one of
the children was ailing and Mrs. Zeots
bad taken some matches iuto the room
to light a lamp. Ia tbe morning,
some lime after tbe breakfast hour,
the children were io tbe room at play,
when one came out screaming to ber
mother tbat "tbe baby was burning
up." Rushing op stairs Mrs. Zen la
found the child surrounded by fire,
tbe bed clotbiug and carpet being all
ablaze. Snatcbiog the babe from the
flames she rushed down stair with the
other children, not thinking io ber
fright to close ibe bed room door afier
ber, thua keeping the fire in check.
Nona of the older children ware al
home save a boy aged about 15, who,
wilb bis mother, did what they could
to save tbe contents, but succeeded io
rescuing nothing but an organ. Every
thing contained in the building, in
cluding all ibe family wearing apparel,
and twenty dollars in catb, was de
stroyed, aud Mrs. Zeots and ber chil
dren were left with cothiug except
what they had on at the time. The
building was comparatively a new one,
and a good substantial farm house,
bat will likely be a total loss, as tbe
ownership was transferred to Mr. J. I.
Range a few days before, but we un
derstand the insurance policy was not
transferred. There was no Insurance
on the household goods, we under
stand. It is thought the children
found tbe matches left in the room
and set fire to the beddiog in their
play.
Tbe Teachers' Institute held in
this place last week, a good and full
report of which we publish to-day,
was voted a success by all who took
part or attended. The illness of Su
perintendent Kerr was a serious check
to tbe otherwise pleasant occasion, but
having had. all things so completely
arranged before he was taken ill, it
required little effort to make the In
stitute a success in -every way. Mr.
Brooks of the borough schools had
charge of the affair and got along
nicely. The lectures were exceeding
ly fine, while the music, in charge of
Mr. F. A. Wheeler, was one of the
pleasaotest features of the entire week,
and the genial Frank has demonstrated
the fact that there's no further need of
sending to the great cities for musical
talent on any oscasion.
Literary Exercises.
Last Thursday evening the teachers
boarding at Mr. S. Fitzgerald's re
solved themselves into an impromptu
Literary Society and wont through

criticise as leniently as possible; but ex
amine all the work done.
Prof. A. J. Davis gave a talk on Indus
trial Education, giving a brief review of
its introduction, its growth in our coun
try, and explaining its object The teach
ers are ucder obligation to examine this
foature of school work, for it is coming

interest both pupil and parent in school
work. Try to get the parent to visit the

Prof. Davis continued his talk on Man
uel Training. One plan submitted to
make Industrial Education practicable is
to erect a school near the centre of the
district and send class to this school.
Another is to have a special teacher go
from one school to another. But the plan
most hartily favored is to educate the
teacher and have the branch taught as any
other branch. The first step toward
Manuol Training ia the teaching of Draw
ing. Every teacher should take a courso
in Drawing. Prof. Davis said it was not
his intention to advocate Manuel Training,
neither to oppese it. He spoke of it aa a
fact that we have to deal with. He be
lieved that within the noxt two years the
teaching of this branch would be required,
therefore the teacher should got ready for
the work. Until it has been given a fair
trial we can neither approve nor condemn.

trate. Causes; 1. Revolutnn of Earth

OBITUARY.
Died At his home near Lie kin g
ville, Dec. 26, 1888, of typhoid pneu
monia, Solomon, son of George Seig
worth, aged 21 years, 1 month and 9
days.
Mr. Seigworth was very highly es
teemed throughout this entire commu
nity, and leaves a large circlo of
friends to mourn his death. For sev
eral years he bad been a faithful
Christian, having become a mamber
of the Evangelical Lutheran Chorea
in 1881. A short time previous to
the exit of his spirit to the Glory
World, he sang tbe beautiful hymr,,
"Oh bow bappy are they who their
Saviour obey." The deceased was
taken to the Evangelical Church
where Rev. Carl Zinsmeistcr delivered
an eloquent discourse to tli6 bereaved",
after which the remains were conveyed
to the Hill Cemetery fur interment.
Thus aoother promising young mart
bas been overtaken by the "White
Horse" aod his "Pale Rider," an J
coerced to give up bis friends' aod en
joyments here to cxperieuco the reali
ties of tho other world. This should
again remind us that wa are mortal,
and ought to be (as was Mr. Seigworth)
prepared to meet this solemn ani?
awful change
To tbe bereaved: Weep not for
those wba have been called to inherit
the home prepared for them that love
tbe Lord, and follow His command
ments, for they have only stepped out
of a world of sin and sorrow to enjoy
extreme happiness forever in a "world
of pure delight," at God's right band,
where sickness aod sorrow, puii. and
death are felt mud feared nr mote.
