The Pittsburgh DUjmtch rather
tartly remarks that "the effort to col

That winter bas set in in earnest
in some parts of the country at last is
proved by tbe reports of snow block
ades in the Northwest. Ia Colorado
the drifts along tho lioes of railroads
were in some places twenty feet deep.
Whew! Just think of it! Twenty feet
of snow in coe pile, and bere we have
had scarcely enough for good snow
balling purposes. A more even dis
tribution of "the beautiful" would be
acceptable, bere as well as in the
Northwest.

The Philadelphia Timet Almanac
for 1890 is at hand with its customary
fund of information on everyday
topics, which is not to be had from
any other source. Send 25 cents to
The Time, Phila., Pa., fur a copy, and
get many times the worth of your
money.
In order to even up nicely Editor
R. B. Brown, of the Meadvillo Mctsen
ger, will bave to have an exceptional
ly good run of equine and other job
work next spring if he should be de
feated in the suit which has been
brought against himself and M. M.
Meyler by H. P. Marley aud E. J.
Bailey, two of tho Commissioners of
Crawford County. Messrs. Marley
and Bailey bave sued for damages in
tbe sum of $10,000 for alleged slan
derous and defamatory articles about
them which have appeared in the
Mestenger during the past year. The
articles bad reference to their conduct
as Commissioners. Blizzard.
Col. Reisingcr, of the Meadville
Gazette, was ever the friend of the
horse. Hero Uome good horse sense
from his pen : "When the business
man in search of a place to locate,
gets off at the Meadville depot and
sees some of tbe teams which go there
for passengers aud baggage, he will
probably get on the cars again. At
twenty-five cents a bushel for oats and
seven to eight dollars a ton for hay,
there is no excuse for keeping such
crow-bails as are exhibited daily on
our streets, and with a full fledged
society for the prevention of cruelly to
animals, backed by the almost univer
sal sentiment of tbe community in
favor of their doing something, this
should not be tolerated." We're of
the opinion that the Colonel's remarks
fit more localities than Meadville, so
we are.
The Philadelphia Times says:
"Tbe locul newspapers of Pennsylva
nia are the most creditable of any
published in the country, and they are
rapidly growing in prosperity nud
power. Tbey have done their part to
advance their respective sections, and
it should ever be remembered that
their usefulness is just commensurate
with their patronage. The city jour
nal, so far from attempting to retard
the local journal, always profits by the
prosperity of the local newspapers, for
they steadily educate their readers to
greater uceds in newspapers, and thus
multiply the demand fur metropolitan
journals as the local journals multiply
their readers. Tbe local newspaper is
the backbone of the community, and
generous as is tbe public appreciation
of its offices, it merits much more
sympathy and support than it general
ly receives."
Tbe Union City Timet thus speaks
of a former Forest county citizen,
whose old friends and former comrades
hereabouts would gladly see him ad
vanced to the position for which be
has been named : John D. McLatchey,
Esq , of Rockdale township, has en
tered the race for the office of Pro
thonotary of Crawfuid couoty. 'Squire
McLatchey was a member of Co. G.,
83d Regt., Penu'a Vols., and was se
verely wounded at the battle of Laurel
Hill, from the effects nf which wound
he still suffers. He made a guod
soldier, is an excelleut citizen and is a
fit, competent and worthy man fur the
office to which be expires. Mr. Mc
Latchey ia one of the directors of the
Farmers' Co Operative Bank of this
city, and is well known to most of our
people and his elevation to the office
of Prothonotary of Crawford couoty
will be hailed with much pleasure by J
his numerous Erie couoty friends.
Early in tbe fluid, and among the
very best of tho month's magazines,
comes "Peterson" for February. Every
lady should see its beautiful steel and
wood engravings and its colored fash
ion plate, which is really an artistic
picture. "Rescued by Cnster'a Men,"
by Anna Latham, is a thrilling inci
dent of the dashing general aud his
brave band, told in a very dramatic
fashion. The short stories, miscella
neous articles and poems are all wor
thy of the highest praise. No house
hold should be without "Peterson"
for it always oflert a varied and at
tractive table of contents, and at a
price which briugs it within every
body's reach. Terms, (2 00 a year.

The DuBuis Erpreti gives ns some
valuable statistics regarding tbe In
fluenza or La Grippe. It says : All
through the sixteenth century there
was influenza in Europe. In 1510,
1657, 1562, 1574, 1580 and 1593, it
spread over Europe. It began again
in 1658, in 1G6!), in 1675 and in 1693.
In the eighteenth century it reappear
ed in 1708, 1712, 1729, 1732, 1733,
1742, 1761 and 1775. Tbo present
century opened with it. There was an
epidemic in 1800, which was continued
in 1803, 1831, 1833, 1837, 1843 and
1847. Then it disappeared till 1889.
A short time ago tbe Grand Duke
Alexis of Russia began to sneeze.
Then others of the royal blood began
to sneeze, and the courtiers, and the
array and the people all were sneezing
and running at the eyes and the nose;
now hot with ftver, and now cold with
chill ; tbe epidemic spreading all the
while till all Russia had the "Russian
influenza." That was not all. Tbe
Germans took up the matter and
sneezoJ too. All over Germany peo
ple were going about sneezing, sneezing
without cessation. Then it struck
America. New York, Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and thousands
of other cities and towns have been
visited, and last, but not least, East
Hickory succumbed lo the terrible
disease. Two thirds of the town is in
its grip. Every paper one picks up
is filled with news of the awful mon
ster. On Saturday evening we read
reports of the scourge having full
sway to Yankton and Sioux Falls, of
the deaths at Rochester, Plymouth,
Andover, Bi Jdeford, Boston, and Min
neapolis; of the situation at New
York, Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, and throwing tbe paper
down, went to bed. We slept, and as
we slept we dreamed. I thought I
was a Frenchman aud my name was
La Grippe. Out of head T Of course
I was, and as I rolled and tossed I
kept saying :
"Influenza Europaca.
"Catarrhus epldcmlcus.
"Calarrhus a contagio.
"Febris catarrhalis epldemica.
"Rheuma epldemicuin.
"Morbus veivecinus, sen catarrhalis,

Mrs. Ledebur and children, are
spending the week at the farm.
Mr. Stright and Wm. Whitcomb
will not, at least for some lime to come,
lake a lighted lantern to look for a
leak in the gss line. Mr. Stright will
wear his beard trimmed close, and
Mr. Whitcomb will wear a bandage
on his face fur a few duys. Tis said,
and truly, we think, that "troubles
never come singly." Mr. Whitcomb,
who assisted in looking fur the gns
leak, also left the gas burning in the
stove while he was at wotk on the
mill. About 2 o'clock he looked
toward the house and saw smoke
coming out of tbe rouf. An investi
gation was made, when it was found
that the stove was about to fall through
a holo ia the floor, that the fire had
burned.
Mr. John Jones and wife, with Fred.
Christ, wife and children, of New
Washington, Pa., who have been visit

Heaven's Accession.
A week ajjo to-day our citizens wero
called upon to mourn the loss of ouo of its
oldest and most respected residents.
Joseph G rovo was born in Lewisburg,
Union Co., Pa., Sept. 2, A. D., 1815, nnd
was one of a family of eleven lioys and
three girls, children of Samuel Grove, of
whom but throe now survive. Tho family
moved to Muncy Valley, Lycoming Co.,
where the subject of our notes received a
good common school education, and Boon
after went to Lancaster Co. j married an
estimable young lady, Miss Catharine
Gihbs; moved to Voungstown, Ohio; re
mained but a short time when they re
turned to Pcnn'a and located in Venango
county, w hero his first wife died. Here
ho was united iu wedlock to Mary A.
Cummins, whoso society lie enjoyed but
three years, and by whom he had two
children, one, W. A. drove, surviving.
Thence Mr. Grove moved to West Hick
ory, whero ho remained fourteen years,
mostly engaged iu the lumbering busi
ness. At West Hickory he married Ho
linda Woleott, and as a resultof this union
six children wero born, four of whom,
Mrs. John A. Hart, Wilbur and Park
Grove, aud Mrs. A. M. Poutt, aro still
living. Again Mr. Grovo was mado a
w idower, aud moved from the place of his
bereavement to Salem City, Vonango
county, where, February 11, InH,',, at tho
residence of his brother William, ho mar
ried Mrs. Dr. Ague, whoso hushund had
been killod during, tho civil war. With
her he spent a happy life until his responsj
to tho "Roll call on high." Soon after this
marriage he moved to Franklin, remained
but a short time, going from there to the
homo of his boyhood iu Muncy Valley,
whero ho farmed for about two years;
going from there to White Pigeon, Mich.,
whence, in 1HT0, ho again returned to
Poim'a aud located in Tionesta, where tho
accumulations of an active life remain to
reward tho dear ones left behind.
Mr. Grove lanio of a hardy, robust fam
ily, and closely relatoil to Michael and
Peter Grove, historically remembered for
their many succe'wl'ul exploits with wild
Indians, hciico ho inherited great physical
endurance, which has enabled him to per
sonally conduct and take part in Ids busi
ness enterprises, and made him a congen
ial aud lively person with which to bo as
sociated or converse. Iu tliu early devel
opments of oil iu Forest county hu be
came interested and with his sons, and
son-in-law, John A. Hart, drilled a great
many wells both Air others aud them
selves, sometimes obtaining oil, at other
times getting dry holes; but those failures
apparently addinir vigor and renewed en-
ory to future efforts. With him there
wm no aneh word as fail. Ho retained
his youthful ambition until stricken down
whllo on his way to church on Sunday
morning, 5th insl., when a sudden and se
vere pain In the top of his head caused
him to stagger against the fence. Medical
attention was secured and from this at
tack in which his head, side and heart
wero somewhat affected, he rallied.
Eleven days later his left side, including
the leg, arm and side of head, wore para
lyzed, forcing him again to his bed, from
which careful nursing by loving hands
and medical attention, wore Insufficient to
raiso him. Patiently enduring intenso
suflering ho passed peacefully aw ay in tho
presence of his family Wednesday morn
ing, 15th Inst., nt 5 o'clock.
His spiritual experience, enjoyment and
life is an Inestimable) treasure, living after
death, for tho encouragement of every
professing Christian. For over thirty-flvo
years he had been loyally following tho
Master, during a considerable portion of
which he held an exhortcr's license.
Reing gifted with a ready How of language,
and the Rible ills daily text book, he was
ever ready when called upon to do earnest
work for the I.ord. In our long acciain
tnneo with his Christian life ho always ex
hibited faith of the most absolute charac
ter; w ith him there was no question ns to
his "title to mansions in the skies," where
those w ho are faithful may meet him ar
rayed in spotless robe and golden crown.
On Tuesday, the day before his death, he
called his family one b3' one to his bedside,
aud In tender, broken words obtained their
promise to meet him where parting! nre
unknown. A loved wifo nnd rese.'tcd
family, with which his pleasant relations
ever exemplified his religious profession,
aro left to mourn, nnd they, together with
our little borough and the church of which
ho was an honored member, aro heavy
losers by his (loath. Touching funeral
services wero conducted nt tho M. E.
Church the following day at 2 P. M., by

Anexchango says: Thirty years ago,
tho lumberman in this vicinity who cut a
million feet of lumber in n year was doing
a big business; and if he cut two million
feet be was a lumber king, although tho
phrase had not been coined then. To-day
tho average mill cuts six million a year;
wliilo tho largest mills cut ten times ns
much. Tho supply is constantly growing
smaller but there is enough timber in this
vicinity to last for tho next ten years or
moro.
