The Clarion Normal School closed on ihe 20th ult., and a winter term of 12 weeks will begin on the 1st of January. The fall term has beeu re markably SUCCOSeflil. The great question of the day is: "How to keep the Irish dynamite ex citement in a manageable condition." Easy enough. Give each man a bot ila of Dr. Bull's Coogli Syrup. Tho "week of prayer" begins next Sabbath. Rev. McAoinch announced that services would bo held in the Presbyterian Church every evening during the week, which all are ear nestly requested to attend. Fraoklin Newt: Rev. J. T. Bren' nan, wife and daughter, of Tionesta, spent Christmas in this city, the guest of their relative, Rev. Mr. Tobey, of the Free Methodist Church, aud re turned home this afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Iliebenthal and children, of Pittsburgh, spent a few days of the past week very pleasantly with Tionesta friends. We are pleased ;o learn that Mr. 11. is prospering finely io bis new home. "Let observation with exteuded view, survey good things from China to Peru" and be will not find anything of such astonishing merit in killing all the pains thai flesh is heir to, as he will know U in Salvation Oil, when he has given it a fair trial. The Republican was honored, and the gloom of the sanctum lighted for a few moments, yesterday afternoon by a visit from two of Forest county's brightest young school teachers, Misses Laura Clover and Clara Simpson Jenks is the fortunate township which claims these teachers. Rev. R. J. Graetz, who has min istered to the Lutheran congregation on. German Hill for the past three years, has resigned the pastorale to accept a call at Fort Wayne, lad , whither he has already gone. Rev G. was very popular with his people, who part with htm with deep regret the following account of a most horrible accident, taken from the Meadsille Tribune of the 25th, will be received with great sorrow by many of our older citizens, to whom the un fortunate victim was well and favora bly known: "A terrible accident oc curred at the Woodside saw mill, in Rockdale township, about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. William Wood side and bis two sons were at work at the mill, aod while the boys were en gaged in another part of the mill, the father, in some manner, fell on the large circular saw. In au ioslaut Lis left arm was cut fT, and his body hor ribly ruaogled. Death was instanta neous. Deceased was aged 57 years. The funeral services were held at Miller's Station, this afternoon." Goo. Mealy of Tionesta township, killed a large rattlesnake on Christ mas day. There is nothing particu larly fresh about the killing of a rat tlesnake io these parts, but the season of the year in which it was accom plished rather tones up the interest in such an item, besides giving outsiders the impression that we are living in the banana belt. ChristmaB passed by in Tionesta very pleasautly and quietly, the day being as balmy as a May day, with the thermometer registering 63 degrees in the shade. The exercises at the Pres byterian and M. E. Churches on Tues day evening were interesting and pleasant affairs, each little one being remembered by some token of love from Saota Claus. In thcBo days of extreme radical ism and hot parlizanship, it is quite refreshing to pick up a decidedly inde pendent journal and read tne news from an unbiased standpoint; a jour nal which can and does deal calmly, yet forcibly, with the great issues of the day in an unprejudiced manner. Such an one is the PitUsburg Dispatch, ono of the very first papers of the country. The Daily Dixpaich has be come an actual necessity in this office, and the mammoth Sunday edition is a decided wonder, and its great growth has been one of the astonishing feat ures of journalism. The literary col umns are supplied by the best writers of the country, while its special cable letters, sporting and business reviews, are features that are greatly appre ciated by its more than 50,000 readers. The Daily Dispatch prints the newt 83 it finds it, and it has a knack of find ing it that gets away with all its great cotemporaries, making it ihe newspaper of Western Pennsylvania. Represent ing tho greatest iron city in the United States as it docs, its market reports are strictly reliable; likewise all its news pertaining to that great industry. l'olitically, independent, yet never wavering in its support of the great question of protection to American industries. Tho New Year will wit ness great strides in the already vast facilities for news-getting which the Ditpatch enjoys, and those who would be well informed of the world's doings must have it. No paper enjoys great er popularity wilh.lhe peoplo and no paper deserves to. German Hill. Rev. R. J. Graetz preached his fare well sermon to a large congregation last Sunday. He has accepted a call from Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and started for there on Monday. Miss Myrtle B. Lee, accompanied by her young fiiend Miss Emma Kiser, visited frieuds and relatives in South Oil City during the holidays.

Weingard is home from Wilkiosburg, where he has beeu work ing at the carpenter trado for some time, Mrs. George Zuendel, of Nebraska, visited her aged mother, Mrs. S. Blum, over Sunday. What youug man anticipates going to Indiana on his weddiog trip in the near future ? Little Pearl Rhecs, whose parents died so me time since, was taken to the Orphans' Homeon Tuesday. Miss Anna Lohmeyor, of Tionesta, was a guest of Miss Eva Kiser, a few days last week. Smith Foreman has purchased the timber on William Blum's land and has put in a mill ou the same. There will be some large timber hauled there this winter by several parties. Mr. Richards, of Mayburg, is around leasing farms in this neighbor hood. Dec. 31. M, Y. East Hickory.

SuusTirirK. Ex-Commissioner Maze Dead. Thomas B. Maze, for more than fifty years a resident of Barnelt township, Forest county, died at his home in that twp., on Thursday, December 26th, 1880, aged 81 years, and 4 days. Mr. Maze was one of the pioneers and well-known figures of his section of the county, where he spent the greater portion of an industrious and useful life, and where he always enjoyed the high esteem of his fellow men and neighbors. He was closely identified with the settlement and growth of that portion of Forest county lying along Clarion river, aud endured many of the hardships incident to the early days of wilderness life, for the country was nothing but a bowling wilderness wheu he came. In 1866, tho year of the re-organization of Forest county, Mr. Maze was elected oue of the board of Commissioners, serving for three years, and to his good judgment much is due for the fine court bouse we now have. Besides his faithful wife, now past 75 years of age, nioe children out of a family of 12 survive him, as follows: John Maze, of Ohio ; Mrs. Lucioda Irwin, and Jacob aod Wm. Maze, of Baroett twp. ; Harry Maze, of Tio nesta; Orrin Maze, Barnett ; Mrs. Louisa Ormsby, Lima, O. ; and Mrs, Marien F. Irwin and Miss Rebecca Maze, of Barnett. All but two of these were present at his funeral, which occurred on Saturday last, and was very largely attended. Mr. Maze bad been a consistent member of the M. E. Church for 28 years, and died happy in the faith. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. The Forest County Teachers' Insli tute convened in the Court House at Tionesta, Monday, December 30lh, 1889. The exercises were opened by responsive scripture reading and pray er. After singing, Rev. J. V. Mc Aninch of Tionesta, delivered an ad dress of welcome. He spoke of the responsibility of tho teacher, and of the necessity of institutes. Mr. Chas Garnett responded in a few well chosen words. The work of organization was taken up. G. W. Kerr, was appointed President; Prof. F. W. Ware of Tio nesta, Vice President; Mhs Scott, Miss Anderson, Miss Guenther, and Miss Fitzgerald were named as Secre tartes. Hiach ot the teachers was presented with a note-book. Prof. G. E. Little of Washington, gavo a very instructive and entertain ing lesson in drawing. Ha showed bow drawing may be made an aid io teaching arithmetic an j other branch' es. Instruction in drawing should be gin with drawing the square, because this is the simplest form which can he taught. Prof. Little proceeded to make several sketches of familiar ob jects, accompanying his wurfc by t rapid, explanatory talk. The au dience was uiu:h amused by the sketch of a boy. Prof. Wheeler spoke a few minutes on the subject tf teaching music in the schools, giving many valuable suggestions as to the primary iostruc tion. At 4:15 p. m., tho institute ad journed for the day. Monday evening Prof, Little deliv ered his entertaining lecture entitled "involution ot tne (Jrayon, which, in a word, was heartily enjoyed by the large audience present. The exercises were opened by a song by Prof. Wheeler, tendered in his usual Cue style, which always pleases. At the conclusion of the lecture the audience was treated to a most delightful piece of music entitled "The Resurrection Song," by Miss Susie A. Clarke of Tidioute, whose sweet aud finely trained voice won for her a hearty encore, to which sbo responded with "The Shepherd," in a charniiug man ner. Miss Clarke is a pupil of Prof. Wheeler, who accompanied her on the organ, and under whose careful train ngi together with her rare natural gifts, she will undoubtedly reach high place among the musical stars of the future. Miss Carrie Kron capti vated the audience by au excellent rendition of "Selling the Farm," which was loudly applauded. SECOND DAY. Tuesday A. M., Institute opened at 0:30; usual responsive reading, follow ed with prayer by Rev. Shitup of Tio nesta. Mr. Wheeler then gave a les son in music. Prof. L. L. Dimes of Clarion Normal, was elected chairman of informal session. Recess, After intermission., roll call by Sunt Kerr, at which time nearly every teacher responded, thereby showing their interest in the work of educatiou Prof. Little then took up the subject of drawing, clearly illustrating the fact that almost every branch of the common school curriculum can be taught with greater ease aud attended with greater success than by any other method. At 11:25 a. m., Prof. Himes of Clarion Normal, gave a talk on the progress being made io tho public schools. He then gave a clear aod instructive talk ou tho subject of readiug; he gave the molhod adopted by the Model School of Clarion, using the selection, entitled "Scott's Lady of tbe Lake" by way of illustration. Institute adjourned to meet at 1:45 m. Iostittue opened at 1:45 p. m. Prof. ILL. Pearsall gave a talk on Plan ning for School Work. He said some thing in regard to the importance of having a plan of this kind ; especially in regard to having a plan for opening of school. Tho order in which he set forth the different points of bis talk was: 1st, setting the school room in order ; 2nd, arranging apparatus; 3d, for opening school work. Drawing was then continued by Prof. Little. Recess. Immediately after interroirsioa Mr. Wheeler took up his work in music, fully exhibiting the subject of rests. Prof. Little gave his last talk on draw ing, inese lessons have been very in structive and also entertaining. Prof. Little is cno of the very best instruct ors in this line of work. He urged us all "to know something of everything and everything of something. Prof. Little spoke very touchingly of the death of his mother. Wo part from him with regret and hopo to greet him at some future institute. CONVICTION AND SENTENCE Of Charles W. Hewitt for the Killing of George J. Lacy. Ten Years In the Penitentiary. On Thursday morning, Dec. 10, 1889, the trial of Charles W. Hewitt for the murder of Geo. J. Lacy, at Golinzs, this county, on October 21st, last, was begun. Tbe jury empanelled to try the case was as follows, aud we may just here remark that a more in telligent jury it would be difficult to obtain : W. R. Hasselback, Jenks, lumber man.

Tho Commonwealth was represented by District Attorney Clark and Law yers Agoew and Davis of Tionesta, Ritchey of Oil City, John W. Reed of Clarion, and A. B. Richmond of Meadville. Mr. Ritchey opened the case for the prosecution, outlining briefly what the Commonwealth would attempt to prove. The main witness in the case was Will. L. Klinestiver, who was in the store at the time of the tragedy. His testimony in brief was as follows: I am bookkeeper forthe Laeys; Chas. Hewitt was employed as chore boy by Georgo Lacy, from July 4 until Octobor2 ; Mr. Lacy had been away from homo and returned Saturday, tho 1'Jth, Monday morning Charley Hewitt come in tho store about 8 o'clock In tho morning and sat down on the counter. Mr. Lacy and Mr. Roth camo into tho store. Lacy passed Charley, spoke to him and came on back to tho private ofllco, Charley coming with him. Mr. Lacy said to me: "Charley thinks he has a grievance." Ho told Charley to sit down. Charley told me ho was charged with $- he did nut think ho had received. I read the articles for which he was oharged f 2, and hesaid "Oh!" Mr. Lacy asked him if ho had not paid something for his wifo. He said, "Yes, 2oc." Mr. Lacy told nie to pay it to him. Charley said there was ono and three quartor days in October ho had not beeu paid for. Mr. Lacy told me to fay him at tho basis of fit) a month. Charley said he could not work for that amount. Mr. Lacy said: "Charley you know you nearly dried up the cow, did not feed tho horses, starved tho colts and did not feed the pigs." Charley suid: "By ,1 won't take it. I will have tho law before I do." Mr. Lacy struck at him. I don't know whether ho hit him or not. Charley swore he would not stand it and Jumped out of his chair. The lutter continued to strike aud I saw him striko Charley's cheek once. I tsaid "dou't," and they desisted. I turned away from them j I heard a scuttle, turned around and Charley and Mr. I.aey were very closo together aud pushing each other. Lacy moved to to one side, Charley's faco was toward him ; I saw Charley put his arm down toward his pocket, heard a pistol shot and Lacy reeled back and said, "My Ood, ho has shot mo." I jumped down fiom tho dusk, put uijarms around him and said, "Come let us get out of this." Iicy suid, "Yes, let us get out ; he will kill us all." I helped him dowu tho store; mit Mr. Roth, and ho took charge of Lacy, When I went to Lacy's assistanco I saw a re volver iu Hewitt's hands, which was smoking. After Roth took Lacy, Hewitt came out rubbing his coat, said: "Ho did not euro a if ho had shot a hole through his coat." I then w ent to the barn and mot Hewitt. I said: "My Ood, Charley why did you do that? You have murder on your hands." He said: "lly ," he did not euro a ; ho would ullow no man to call him a , if he hung for it." Mr. Roth testified : "I went home with Gleorge Lacy tho Saturday evening before tho homicide. Monday morning I went to the store with him. When we went in, I heard him say 'Charley' and 'grievances.' I went outside thinking they wanted to tulk privately. About 10 minutes after wards I heard a noise as if a saw had fallen. There was a stream of running water near and I could not hear distinctly, I went to the store and saw Klinestiver assisting Lacy. 1 went to luui aud Ijicy says, 'I uui hurt: I urn u dead man. bend for Pr. Ross, and send for my wife.' I took him to his room and undressed him. Ho looked at the wound and said again, I am a dead man, there Is no show for tue. No man was ver shot as I am and got over it. Tell my wife, If I dio beforo she gets here, that she Is to have full charge of my funeral.' He then called his book keeper and disposed of his property, naming his brother as executor. He said ha was not afraid to die, but would like to havo lived until his children had grow n up." Considerable other tnstrmony was heard, but as our space Is limited wo givo only tho most Important.

Sunday October 0 I was at the lKiarding house at (iolinza in the afternoon; Charley Heekathorn saw my revolver and took it out of my pocket. Wm. Ieaso asked mo If I Would sell it. I said yes. I quit working for Mr. Ijicy October 2. Thero was something over corning to mo. Wo had a dispute that morning. Mr. I.aey said if I ever gavo him the lip I gavo Klinestiver ho would break my d d neck. Sunday evening Mr. Lacy rnhed mo out of the boarding house and told me to mine to tho More Injun morning ami we would settle. Monday morning I went to tho store. On tny way I stopped at the barn ; I said I was going to settle with Lacy, and if ho did not settle right I would havo tho.law. I.ney came in tho store anil told mo to eomo and wo would settle; I went back to tho office. There was ono ond three-quarters days in Octo ber I was not credited with. Lucy told Klinestiver to credit nio at tho rate ot fit) a month. I said I could not Mand it to work lor that. I would go to law first. Ho said ho would carry It to tho Supremo Court if necessary. I said I would suo hi in any nay. He sprang toward me and struck mo. I jumped up aud raised my loft hand to ward tho blow. Ho forced mo Into tho coiner between tho dexk and tho wall, threw his arm around my neck and kept hitting at me with his left hand. I could not throw him off ami I pulled my revolver, holding it downward toward him, intending to shoot him in tho leg to disable him. Ho grabbed tho revolver and a struggle ensued, Mr. Lacy holding tho barrel, when it discharged. Mr. Lacy was betwcea mo and tho door. My back was against tho wall on ono side and in y side against the other. I did not say after ho was shot that I would givo him more. Mr. Klinestiver was in tho office. My little half-brother was in the store. After I got out of the store, I found my coat ou fire and that my revolver was caught in tho flap of my pocket. I met Klinestiver on my way homo. Ho said, 'My Ood, what do you mean?' O, said I, I will allow no man to call mo a and then take a licken for it. I then went home and went to splitting wood. I was arrested at 11 o'clock. I sent for tho re volver September 30. I got $3.Tj from Klinestiver. I went to Newmanville and sent a registered letter for the revolver. I carried a revolver previously. I bought it from Lacy's.
