Mr. Dingman, whose departure to
Philadelphia for the purpose of re
ceiving medical treatment we noted
last week, arrived home again on
Monday evening last, and his large
circle of friends will be pained to
learn, that after an examination of his
case, the physicians pronounced it ex
tremely serious and could give him
little or no encouragement for recov
ery. Should the worst be realized our
community will be called upon to
mourn the loss of one of its best citi
zen s.
The Meadville Gazette makes this
pleasant reference to a former popular
Tionesta boy: Harry 8. Bates has
been taken into the Erie Conference
M. E. Church and assigned to Hyde
town. He seems to be thoroughly
imbued with the spirit of his work,
He is an educated, earnest, practical
Christian, and while others may spin
finer theories of the life to come, their
is no preacher in the conference who
will feed his congregation more prac
tical, common sense religion than the
now Rev. II. S. Bates.
We are pleased to stato that the
shooting accident to Mm. John Wiles
hurriedly reported in our issue of last
week, was not nearly so serious as at
first supposed. The accident was not
the result of the discharge of a gun,
but was caused by the explosion of a
dynamite fulminating cap, which by
some means had boen thrown on the
floor, and was swept up by Mrs. Wiles
and thrown into the stove unnoticed.
A piece of the copper shell was re
moved from Mrs. Wiles' breast, and
another piece struck her in the abdo
men inflicting a rather severe though
not necessarily a serious wound, and
tho lady is recovering nicely from ber
injuries.
A dwelling house on the farm
owned by W. J. Roberts, situated on
the Tylersburg road, about two miles
from Tionesta, was burned to the
ground on Monday afternoon last.
The house was one erected by Mr.
Peter Vought 12 or 15 years ago, since
which it has bad several occupants,
but at the time of the fire was vacant.
Some workmen had gone there and
started a fica-tn a stove in the kitchen
for the purpose of warming up their
dinners which they had brought with
them, but whether the fire originated
from this cause is not known. At any
rate the building was so thoroughly
enveloped in flames when discovered
as to be out of control of the neigh
bors. The building was valued at
about $400, and was insured for $250.
The barn was saved with great diffi
culty. One of our most valued exchanges,
the Clarion Democrat, makes thi hap
py suggestion, which we most heartily
endorse: Every young married couple
should see that there is sent with their
marriage notice to their county paper
one dollar und a half, the price of one
years subscription. There is nothing
like getting a good start, and we can't
think of anything just now which
would give them better start in life
than paying on their marriage day for
their county newspaper for a year.
We know it would add greatly to the
year's enjoyment. Besides the printer
should have some compensation for
publishing tbo marriage notices from
week to week ; and be must be a close
man indeed who is not willing to pay
a dollar and a half for kiting the
world know that he has secured a good
wife, especially wheu be gets in return
for it bis county paper for a year.

Weddings usually are very pleasant
afTairs as they certainly ought to be.
And we have had the pleasure of being
present at and of now recording one
of the very pleasantest events of this
kind that the history of our town van
boast.
On Wednesday evening, Oct. 9th,
Miles B. Cook, M. D., and Maud Anna
Davis, daughter ef Hon. E. L. Davis,
were united in wedlock. Rev. W. F.
Wood of the Second Presbyterian
Church of Oil City, officiated. The
form of ceremony used was the mar
riage service of the Episcopal Chursh
the niopt impressive and beautiful of
all the forms that bind heart, life,
hope, and human destiny together.
There were no bridesmaids or grooms
men. The bride's father gave away
the bride. The bride was elegantly
yet simply and tastefully attired. She
wore a white corded silk, en train,
trimmed with point lace. Except a
diamond pin at the throat she wore no
oroameuts. Fastened at the bead
with pearl pins and a hunch of smilax
a veil fell down and flowed over the
whole costume. She carried a bunch
of white roses in her hand. The
groom wore toe conventional oiaca
suit. A very handsome aud pleasing
picture the bride and groom formed as
they stood together at the closo of the
ceremouy. He, tall and finely formed,
and she with a grace and dignity that
well became the occasion added to
the natural charms of person and
manner. At precisely six o'clock the
bride eutered the room leaning on her
father's arm, the groom being escorted
by Mr. J. D. Davis, and the words
were pronounced that takes from us
one of our most talented and agreeable
young ladies.
The wedding was an interesting
social event. Miss Davia enjoyed an
extended social acquaintance outside
her borne circle. A large uumber of
invitations were issued and nearly 200
euests many from a distance were
present and witnesses of the happy
event. An elegant supper was served
after the ceremony. Many and hearty
were the congratulatious presented to
the happy pair; yet so thoroughly
popular with us all has the bride been
and so universal tbe friendship for her
that the congratulations, while sincere,
were spoken with not a little of regret.
The presents made to the married
couple were many, handsome, aod
valuable. There were few duplicates;
a nicer collection it would be difficult
to imagine. The groom's present to
the bride was a fine piano, a gift rle
gant and appropriate.
The bride and groom left on tb
train going South at 8:05. They will
"be at home," soon, to their many
friends, in Buffalo, where they will
reside. Dr. Cook is associated in the
practice of medicine with Dr. Har
rington, a leading physician of Buffa
lo, and already enjoys a large and ex
tensive practice.
Tbe Republican individually ex
tends its best wishes and congratula
tions to bride aud groom. May their
future be as bright as their wedding
festival was auspicious.
The guests present from out of town
were as follows: Mrs. H. M. Irwin,
Franklin; Rev. W. F. Wood, Miss
Lillian Abbott. Oil City : Mrs. Eliza

On the 24lh ult. the Mt. Tabir
Evangelical S. S. held its Annual
Harvest Home. The display of home
taleut was commendable throughout;
the recitations, some thirty in number,
were grand, elevating and pure in
thier nature. The assembly was also
treated to a stirring address from our
beloved young Pastor, Rev. J. II.
Shimp. Dr. E. W. Smith of Whig
Hill, did full justice to the ocension
by way of au able address. The din
ner was such as to satisfy the most
voracious appetite; good things were
in abundance and free to all.
On Wednesday evening following,
J. Albaugh, one of the bible class
teachers in the above S. S. received a
large, beautiful rocking chair, at the
hands of bis class, as a token of their
appreciation of his work. The class
is composed of young gentlemen and
ladies whose abilities rank second to
none, and their attention to duty and
zeal afler bible instruction, justly en
titles them to more than a passing
notice. Tbe gift, which is truly but
the advance guard of their respect
toward their frieod and teacher, will
ever be beld in most sacred memory
by tbe recipient.
The Wolcott well near the Pownell
farm is by no means a dry hole, but
whether it will materially effect the
oil market or not is yet to be found
out. We assert here that no man de
serves better luck in the oil enterprise
than our frieod S. J. Wolcott; he is
worthy of a real gusher. Different
parties are huuling up territory in tbe
vicinity of this new strike. How
would ye editor appreciate a visit to a
flourishing city on the mountain peaks
of South Hickory, embellished with
foreign symphoniotis name, "Oh My."
Three weeks from to-day aod we
will hear something "drop" as usual;
it will be as it has been heretofore
Nothing new, in old Forest. What
