Matilda, wife of Adam Sibble,
died at the family home on German
Hill, Thursday, Feb. 6, 1800. She
was aged about 38 years, 5 months
and 5 days. The deceased was a
daughter of Thomas Pownell, of Hick
ory township. She was a faithful wife
and mother and a consistent christian,
having been for many years a mem
ber of tho F. M. churcb, in which faith
she died. She leaves a husband and
four children, one brother, one sister,
and a large circle of friends to mourn
their lo9S. Funeral services were held
in the Zaendel church, of that place,
Saturday, at 12 o'clock, by Rev. S.
Sager, and the remains were interred
in the Zuendel Cemetery.
At exactly 9:31 o'clock, last Mon
day night the report of a terriffic ex
plosion was heard in this place, and
was thought at the time to be the
beralder of some awful catastrophe.
Whole buildings were ehaken and
windows rattled as if they would
break, in all portions of this town.
Nothing very serious, however, was to
be realized. It proved to be the ex
plosion of 3,000 pounds of glycerine
in the magazine of G. W. Van Vliet,
located about a mile from Pleasant
ville, on the road from that placo to
Shamburg. It is not thought that
human lifo has been . lost. What
caused the explosion no one knows, as
the magazine has not been visited
since last Friday. This is the second
time within the past year that Pleas
antville has received a severe shaking
up by the explosion of oitro glycerine.
R. II. Wallace, of the Erie Rail
road, temarked to a Derrick reporter
last evening: "The Nypano train
which is just now pulling out has
amoogst its passengers T. D. Collins
and sou, of Forest county, each hold
ing a yard and thrco-quarters of tick
et, the combined distance of which
covers more miles bf American travel
than any other tickets ever sold from
Oil City. -Before the conductors will
have finished their target practice on
these pasteboards the gentlemen will
havo traveled a distance of 16,004
miles, every mile of which is on the
American centinent, except 100 miles
by 6teamer along Puget Sound, and
they do not travel over the same
ground twice, except from Colton,
Cat., to San. Diego, Cl., aud return,
a distance of 75 miles. Tbeso tickets
cost at the rate of $100 per yard, or
at the rate 13c per mile, and are
routed via some of the fastest lines iu
the world, and I have no doubt but
that the Messrs, Collius will knock tbe
famous little 'world girdler's' record
for speed higher than Gilroy's kite.
You may say, too, that no guesses will
be recognized after the party reaches
New Orleans." Derrick, Feb. 11.
East Hickory.
Elmer II. Foreman, who, with his
father, left East Hickory several weeks
ago, for Grandio, Mo., writes to a
friend at East Hickory, that "Gran
ilia is a town of about 700 inhabitants,
all of whom are employed by tbe Mis
souri Mioiug and Milling Company.
Tbe company has two saw mills, one
averagiug ninety aud the other thirty
thousand feet per day. Tbey also
have a large planing mill aud dry-
house. A huge store in which a half
dozen clerks are kept busy, is also
owned by this compauy, and they are
about to exect another building to be
used for mercantile purposes. About
twenty-five carpeuters are employed,
and have work laid out a year in ad
vance. The office of the compauy is
finished in yellow pine. The lumber
interest here will last about twenty,
five years. Two log trains are con
stantly running and kept huslliug to
keep the mills in logs. Oxec and
mules are used in the woods. Our
town boasts of water works and strong
talk is heard now of introducing elec
tric light soon. (Better eeud to the
Forest Gas Company for rates on gas.)
We have one physician who is paid by
the mouth, and there will be another
soon. Each person pays so much a
mouth, according to what he earns,
which I thiok a good plan. Wo have
made rapid advancement. A few
years ago this town, as the negro says,
'was no whar',' but to day is growing

We have all had the La Grippe. I

OBITUARY.
Giles G Butterfield was born July
23, 1845, and died in Tionesta, Pa.,
February 5, 1890.
Mr. Butterfield was born near Liv
ermore, Westmoreland county, Pa.,
where he spent the early part of his
life. About twenty years ago he re
moved to this county, where he was
engaged as book-keeper with the Fort
Pitt Lumber Company. While here
he contracted a severe cold which de
veloped into pneumonia, and for a
time his life was despaired of. How
ever, he finally recovered but never
fully regained his former health. The
disease had so affected his lungs that
for many years before his death he had
to use the utmoet care tn guard against
any disease that might affect that or
gan. After a few years which he
speut in Livermore, Pa., he returned
to Tionesta, where be spent the re
mainder of his life, being a member of
the firm of Smearbaugh & Co, mer
chants. Except a gradual decline that might
have been noticed, Mr. Butterfield
seemed to have been in his usual
health until less than two weeks be
fore his death.
On the 25th ult. ho was attacked
with iufluenza aud although the dis
ease did not assume a violent form,
yet in his weakened physical condi
tion ho was not able to endure it. For
one week he sank rapidly, not being
able to take any nourishment at all.
A change in the treatment of his dis
ease was then adopted with apparent
ly very beneficial results. The fever
abated and be was able to take food
with relish, and seemed to be on a fair
way to recovery. But the hopes that
had been raised by this improved con
dition were Boon to be destroyed. On
the afternoon of the 5th inst. unfavor
able symptoms developed and in less
than an hour his soul had passed out
from the feeble house of clay to dwell,
as we humbly trust, with the Blessed
Redeemer, whom be loved nnd served
here upon earth.
Ou account of ill health Mr. Butter
field was not permitted to take an act
ive part in much that was going on in
the world about him, hut be always
showed bis iuterest in every worthy
object and his advice was often sought
on accouut of his keen insight and bis
calm, equible judgment.
Upright and honorable in all his
dealings, he won many friends among
those who came in contact with him
iu business, and iu his business he
was successful.
When about fifteen years of age Mr.
Butterfield united himself with tho
Presbyterian church, of which he re
mained a consistent member until bis
death. In 1875 he was elected ruling
elder iu the Presbyterian church at
Tionesta. The following year he re
moved to Livermore, transferring his
membership to tho church in that
place. Ou his return to Tiouesta io
1878 he was reinstalled ns elder, which
office he continued to fill with great
acceptance.
Throughout bis whole life Mr. But
terfield showed a consistent, christian
character. Ha was conscientious iu
the discharge of all his christian duties
and sought to perform them in the
fear of tbe Lord. He was an active
christian, awake to the interest of the
Master's Kingdom. He was strict in
giving of his means for the support of
the Gospel, for the extension ot'Christ's
Kingdom, and for the benevolent ob
jects, according as the Lord had pros
pered him. His place in the sanctu
ary was never vacant except when
providentially hindered. He loved
God's house and delighted in his ser
vice. Possessing an excellent memory
and a strong mind which was well
stored with Biblical truths, he was
truly a power for good.
He was married in 1872 to Miss
L'zzie Wenk, who, with an aged mo
ther, two brothers, two sisters, aud a
large circle of friends are left to mouru
their loss.
The funeral services were conducted
Friday morning at his late residence
by Rev. J. V. McAninch, pastor of the
Presbyterian church. The remarks
wete based upon the passage of scrip
ture chosen by Mr. Butterfield for the
occasion : "I am tbe resurrection and
the life." John, XI chapter, 25. Jlis
body was laid to rest iu the Riverside
Cemetery to await the glorious resur
rection of the just.
Death of Mrs. J. F. Hill.
The many friends of Mrs. Hill, wife
of Rev. J. F. Hill, fjrmerly pastor of
the M. E. Churcb at this place, but
now of McPliersou, Kausas, will be
pained to learn of her death, which oo
curred as mentioned below. All our
people will sympathize with theafilict
ed family iu their sad bereavement.
The following account of her death we
copy from the McPherson Daily
Jiepublicun :
Nancy P. Hill was boru io West
moreland county, Pennsylvania, Janu
ary 18, 1830, and died in McPherson,
Kansas, Thursday, January 30, 190,
a;ed s xty years aud five days.
The subject of this tkeUh was the
daughter of R. E. and Elleanor Cam
thers, and tbe youngest of twelve chil
dren, all of whom have preceeded her
to tbo Better Land. At the age of
nineteen years she was converted and
united with the Methodist Episcopal
church in which communion she ever
lived a constant member. She was
married to Rev. J. F. Hill, March 19,
1856. To them were born six children,
five sons and one daughter, four of
whom Burvive her. After twenty-five
years spent io the Methodist itinerancy
Mrs. Hill with her family came to
Kansas and for the greater part of the
time has resided in McPherson.
1'he funeral was held Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock in the Methodist
Episcopal church, conducted by Rev.
Ebright, her pastor. Dr. Fulton, pas
tor of tho Baptist church, made the
opening prayer. Father Shaw read a
selection from the Old Testament
Scriptures, aud Rev. Thomas J. Stev
enson, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, read a selection from the New
Testament Scriptures, after which Rev.
Ebright delivered a memorial address.
The Methodist church never held a
larger congregation than the one as
sembled to pay the last respects totbis
truly noble christian woman. It is
estimated that as many were turned
from the doors, unable to gain admis
sion, us were the number inside. A
good woman bas gone from our midst.

The weather record for January shows
that it has been the mildest within the
last century and a quarter. Sargeant Day
of tho Signal Service, thinks that tho
chances are 7 t. 1 that the lowest mean
temperaturo of tho winter has already
occurred, and 5 to 1 that tho three to five
day period of lowest mean temperature is
now a matter of record. In other words,
it is his official opinion that tho worst of
tho winter is over.
The Roll Telephone Company is about
extending its line, through Clarion and

We begin to awako and shako off the
effects of the "grip."
Two days poor sleighing is better than
none, ami our merchants look a little nioro
pleasant.
The sickness in this town has been
something terrible this winter, but wo
can't claim a monopoly ou that.
'i he oil business bus been having a little
boom in this vicinity in spite of the almokt
impassable roads, und several little pools
ha e been found.
Our gas company has passed into tlio
control of the Standard Oil Co., and the
poor consumers havo uneasy visions of
"out ol tlio li ving pan into the fire."
The three refineries havo all had the gas
shut oil In, 111 them and are now v iol
ling with coal, but they are as independ

propose laying a line 11 1 1 1 drilling gas
