A couple of weeks ago Lester,
the seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs,
Eli Iloleman met with on accident to
tbe right eye, which was not consid
ered at the time of serious consequence
but as the injury seemed unwilling to

parents consulted Dr. Sadler, the
eminent oculist, at Pittsburg, who was
obliged to inform them that the sight
was permanently injured, although
perhaps not totally destroyed.

Congressman Watson of Warren,
through bis efficient Secretary, Curfe-j
Sbawkey, has remembered many of
our Forest county citizens with garden
seeds this spring. It's a good thing
we Republicans live bandy a Republi
can district where they elect good men
to office, else we might have to go
down into our pockets when garden
making comes around. The Warren
district will do itself an injustice if it
don't return Col. Watson for another
term.
The newly elected borough coun
cil met on Monday evening of last

Herman and II. M. Foreman, was

year was fixed as follows : Light, one
mill; bond, two mills; work and cash,
each four mills. J. S. Hood was
elected Street Commissioner. The

by tbe Burgess: Oo streets, Haslet

A change in the mercantile firm
of Wm. Smearbaugh & Co. has taken
place, Wm. Lawrence having pur
chased the interest of the estate of the
late Mr. Butterfleld, and the firm will
hereafter be known as Lawrence &
Smearbaugh. Tbe new firm will ma
terially enlarge their line, keeping a
good supply of fresh provisions, such
as salt meats, syrups, molasses, &o.,
hitherto not kept in the store, and by
close attention to the people's wants
hopes to merit a fair share of publio
patronage.
Dr. Siggins is announced in the
Vindicator as a candidate for Congress
on the Democratio ticket. The doctor
would have extended the courtesy of
his announcement a little farther, but
it is whispered around that Editor
Kepler refused him admission to bis
columns, and it is further hinted that
he has some designs on this county's
instructions, himself. Republicans
have little concern in the matter, but
all the same, it would grieve us all to
see the thing sold out again like it
was two years ago. Such proceedings
are disgusting to all parties.
The Blizzard thus mentions a
character well known to many of our
raftmen, who have "run across" him
on their trip down tbe river: "James
Collins, one of the men arrested Tues
day by the Fur, Fin and Feather Club
for seining in the river, is spoken of
by raftsmen who have known him for
years as an eccentric and peculiar
character. His home is on the river
and his face is a familiar one to the
older raftsmen. They meet him fre
quently on the river with bis boat
loaded sometimes with fish and at
other times with torkeys, frogs, pigs,
game, Christmas trees, or whatever he
may find a special demand for down
the river. They also find him at times
with bis boat empty and loaded bim
self loaded with whisky and drunk
on the bank. He has made plenty of
money along the river but is just as
poor as though he had made less. Tbe
seine taken from him and his partner
was probably made by Collins, who
is said to be very bandy in turning out
work of that kind. It is 150 feet long
and worth abont fifty dollars."
lirief mention was made in our
issue of last week of tbe tragic death
of Harvey Hardison, brother of our
esteemed townsman, J. II. Hardison
near his home at Santa Paula, Cal.
on the 5th inst. Sinoe then additional
particulars havo been received which
are about as follows: In company
with two companions.Mr. II. had en
tered an oil mine to make some inves
ligations after an explosion in the
forenoon of the same day had occurred
Having entered the mine about 700
feet, they evidently had attempted to
.turn on the incandescent electric light
and there being probably some escape
io the light, the gas in the mine was
ignited and the explosion occurred
killing all three men instantly. In
that country, one way of obtaining oil
is to dig into tbe hillside, into, tbe
solid roctc, and when the oil is struck
it flows or runs out of the tunnel while
the supply holds out, which is almost
indefinitely. The tunnel in which
these men losttheir lives was abou
900 feet long, in which the only means
of lighting, with any degree of safety,
is by electricity.
The following additional partiou
lars of the shooting of Mr. E. II,
Darrah, near. Portland, Oregon, on
April 1st, mention of which we mad
last week, are taken from tbe Portland
Oregonian, of April 3d, to which pape
the circumstances were related by Mr
I. D. Doverspike, a relative of the de
ceased: "Mr. Darrah and I left Port
laud a week ago to inspect soma tim
ber land along the Clatskaniue river
We looked over quite a number of
claims and Darrah and another man
uamed C. R. Hall bought up about
twenty during the few days we were
there. Yesterday afternoon Darrah
and I again went out and after walk
iog together a while, we drifted apart.
I beard a rifle report and when I came
to investigate I found Darrah dead
with a bullet hole through tbe heart,
The shot was fired by a deer hunter
numed J. C. Murray, and the shooting
evidently was entirely accidental. I
saw Murray this morning, and be said
in all probability be did the shooting,
as he was looking for deer, and dis
charged his rifle about four o'clock iu
the afternoon. We at once summoned
a coroner's jury, and tbe inquest was
to have been held to day. I, myself
came to Portland to send the sad news
to his wife at San Diego. The remains
will he brought to Portland to-morrow."

NEWSY NOTES.
The counties of Potter and Cameron

Our old friend, Martin Williams, of
New Bothlchem, was so unlucky aa to fall
from a scaffold recently while doing some
paper banging. As a result he was laid
up several days for repairs.
The following from the Mcadvillo Tri
bune will apply Just a woll to every other
community t "One of Bon. Franklin's
maxims, 'If you buy what you don't need,
you will soon need something you can't
buy,' should be borne in mind by several
young men whom we could name, who
are ever requesting loans of their friends."
An exchange speaks thus of a nuisance
that prevails in a great many communi
ties: "Corry is infested with peddlers who
are selling household articles on the install
ment plan. The goods are very Inferior
and prices very high. You had bettor put
jour money Into a box, a little at a time
(the amount of the installment), and when
you got enough, go and buy for cash at
half the price they charge you."
The President sent to the Senate Satur

Notwithstanding the repeated assertions
of our noighbor ol the Jcffersonian-Demo
crat, elections for postmasters do elect, or
at least this seems to be one of the In
stances wherein the verdict of the ballot
baa been allowed to stand. Drookvitle Re
publican,
The postmaster at Hagansvllle, Michi
gan, comes as near being a man of all
work as any one we have heard of. In
addition to discharging the duties of post
master, he runs a restaurant, grocery,
hardware, dry goods, boot and shoo store,
and produce store, all nndor one roof, and
still finds time to farm, run a saw mill,
dicker In cedar, buy and sell pine lands,
manufacture shingles, conduct a black
smith shop, practice medicine in a small
way, mix drugs, act as Justice of the peace
and go to church twice on Sundays.
Commissioner Rauin estimates that 200,-
000 veterans will die in the next six years ;
that In 12 years the number will have
reached 450,000, and that this roll In 18
years will have swelled to 720,000 thus
duplicating, over and over again with dead,
the great armies of the Union. Gen. Raum
has reached the conclusion that over half a
million veterans now living, namely, 6S1,
000, will yet yield up 12 years of their lives
on account of the wear of field Bervice. In
other words, the expectation of life for this
number of survivors has been shortenod
by 12 years.

lamb because she did not advertise. And
Mary had a brother John, who kept n vil
lago store ; he sat down and smoked his
pipe and watched the open door. Ana as
the people passed along and did not stop
to buy, John still sat down and smoked
bia pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And
so the sheriff closed him out, but still ho
llngored near, and Mary came to drop
with him a sympathetic toar. "How is it
sister, can you tolljwhy the other mer
chants hero, sell all their goods and thrive
from year to year?" Remembering now
her own bad luck, tho littlo maid replies
"Those other merchants get there, John
because they advertise." Exchange.
As statod in Tuesday cvoning's Blizzard,
two men who refused to give their names
were arrostod Tuesday, one by Major
Fraukliu and the other by Chief Fry, on
a description and Information obtained by
President N. II. Brown, of tho Fur, Fin
find Feather Club, charging them with
seining in the Allegheny River for fish.
That both of the men were cripples was
not known to tho club until alter the ar
rests had been made, but a knowledge of
the fact would not have hindered the pros
ecution. The oldor man of tho two, who
finally said that he was called James
"Hoptoe," but made no denial when asked
if his right uamo was not James Collins,
was particularly impudent and foul
mouthed. John II. Miller, who refused
to give his namo until the two were
brought before 'Squire Reynolds this
morning, was more calculated to excite
pity. He said that he had a mother and
sister to support and that, beiug a cripple,
he supported thorn by hunting, trapping
and fishing. Collins soon cooled oil' when
brought before the 'Squire, and said that
they were bunting and fishing to keep out
of the Kor house; that tbey belonged
"down the river" and had commenced
seining in the river above Tidioute a
couple of weeks ago. He also pleadod for
lieniency and promised to do no more Ille
gitimate fishing. They further agreed to
deliver their seine to the authorities to be
destroyed, and iu view of tho fact that
both were cripplws the prosecution chari
tably refrained from proceeding further in
the case. They were remanded to the
lockup until 3 o'clock this afternoon, when
Major Franklin went up with lliom to
Hotmail's Island to procure thoir seine
and to release the large stock of fish they
hud caught Illegitimately. Tho experience
of these meh should serve as a warning to
others. The Fur, Flu and Feather Club
prop-ises to havo a vigorous enforcement
of tho game and fish laws iu this section
aud is specially well prepared to learn of
any violations. Oil City iiltzzaid.

Tho improved method of fastening strings
of Pianos, invented by us, is one of the
most Important Improvements ever made,
making the instrument more richly mu
sical in tone, more durable, aud less liable

Both the Mason A Hamlin Organs and
Pianos excel chiefly in that which is the
chief excellence in any musical instru
ment, quality of tone. Other things,
though important, are much less so than
