Every column of a newspaper
contains 12,000 to 20,000 distiuct
pieces of metal, the displacement of
any one of which would cause a
blunder, or typographical error. And
yet some people lay claim to remarka
ble smartness if tbey discover an error
in a newspaper. Ex.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. W. Bmiley, of
Franklin, were among the guests who
attended the Dale wedding anniver
sary, and had an opportunity to renew
many old acquaintanceships. 11 was
Mrs. Suailey's first return to Tionesta

years ago.
The Ward family of Whig Hill,

formaucea are quite marvelous.
They sat under the moonlight,
with clasped hands trying to guess
"what star would be their home when
love becume Immortal" but soon, alas
how soon she caught a cold and they
had temporarily 19 stop guessing.
They cured her, however, with one
bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
A Warren "special" of Monday
says: President Judge (Jharles 11.
Noyes was seated this afternoon at 2
o'clock. Judge Noyes was sworn in
by the retiring judge. A series of
resolutions complimentary to ibe lat
ter were presented by the bar, and in
the evening a reception was tendered
him.
The golden wedding of ex-Judge
and 'Mrs. Joseph G. Dale, on Christ
mas Eve, was one of the very pleasant
events of the season, and was attended
by nearly all the older, and many of
the younger citizens of our town, all
of whom enjoyed themselves hugely
and were royally entertained by the
genial bride and groom of fifty years.
A cumber of very elegant presents
were left as souvenirs of the happy
event. Quite a number of guests
were present from out of town. y
The "City of Pithole," over in
Venango county, still comes in occa
sionally for a little notoriety. An ex
change says: Mr. Porter's count for
the present Pilkole will show possibly
a population of five persons, wbereas
in its palmy dayt it had a population
of 15,000, and in point of postal buti
Dest transacted it was the third city
in the State, Philadelphia and Pitts
burg only exceeding it. The Holm
deu farm at Pithole, which once was
sold to Chicago people for 91,500,000,
hat tiuce been told at tax sale for
U00.
"Tionesta is a lough place," says
the Pleasautville Record man, and to
prove what he says, mentions the mur
der trial which took place iu our
courts a year ago, iu connection with
the one which will come np at the
February sessions, and adds that on
"Christmas night a Pleasaalville man
lost an ere and a llooesta man a
finger in a ball room fizbt" hero. In
the first place, ueitbtr of these shoot
ing scrapes occurred within a dosen
miles of Tionesta, and so no odium
can reasonably attach to our borough
on that account. We admit that th
eyeand-fioger scrape was not a re
speclable affair at all, but wben your
Pleasaotvilliaus iusisl on filling up
with "Jersey lightning" and coming
to Tionesta to trade their eyes for our
boys' fingers, and get thoroughly ac
cominodated, then we see no good
reason why they should squeal. The
Record man says he would "hate to
live iu Tiouesta." This feeling is
mutual. We'd hate to have you, if
you can't take a juke with any better
graco than that. Keep your "bug
juice" on 'tolherside of the line and
we'll be all right.
Death of J. F. Connelly.
The death of James F. Connelly
Esq , at his home in Harmony town
ship, this county, on Dec. 30, 1890,
while not unexpected, is yet sad news
to hit large circle of friends in this
section. Mr. Connelly was born in
Franklin, Pa., September 7, 1817, aud
hit boyhood life was spent there. He
was a ton of Wm. Connelly, one of
the first settlers of Venango county,
who died at Franklin a few years ago
about 100 years of ago. His father
was a well known surveyor, and an
associate judge of Venango county,
well known to all the old settlers.
Mr. Connelly was twice married and
had 16 children, most of whom are
living. His first wife was Eliza Col
lingwood, wbo died iu 1856, and he
was married in 1869 to Abigail Cor
nelius, who still survives bim. His
children are as follows; His sous
Charles C. Connelly, wbo belonged to
Company A, 121st Regiment, and who
was mortally wounded in the battle
of the Wilderness ; W. A. Connelly,
Esq, of Hickory, Pa : Edwin W. of
Jamestowu, N. Y. ; Frank P., who

THE DEADLY BULLET.
Edward S. Shtppen, Jr., Shoots and
Kill Joseph W. Say.
Forest county will have itt fourth
murder trial to dispose of at the next
term of court.
The usual quietness of our town was
somewhat disturbed, on the evening of
Monday, Dec. 29, 1890, by the report
that a man had been shot and killed
near Clarington, this county, and that
the one wbo fired the fatal ball had
appeared and voluntarily given him
self into the custody of Sheriff Saw
yer. The report proved only too true.
On ibe morning in question tome
unpleasantness arose between Edward
8. Sbippeo, Jr., a member of the firm
of Shippen Bros , owners of a large
lumber plant on Millstone Creek,
about three miles back from tbe Clar
ion River, in Baruett township, aud
Joseph W. Say, an employe of the firm.
The trouble, it seems, started in the
woods, on account of tbe lateness of
the hour at which Say came ta work,
and it is said angry words were ex
changed, when Say was told to call at
the store or office and get bis pay,
which be did shortly before noon.
Besides the two principals there were
in the office three or four olber men,
one of them a brother of Edward
Sbippeo. A few minutes after Say
entered the hot words between the
men were renewed, and, accordiog to
the evidence a move was made by Say
toward Shtppen, and the next heard
by the witnesses was a pistol shot, fol
lowed by at least three other Bimilar
reports. Three of the balls took ef
fect in Say's body, and be lived only
about ten or fifteen minutes after. As
to whelher tbe men had actually come
together or not the evidence is some
what conflicting. Shippen claims to
have fired tbe revolver in self-defense.
In a short time after tho shooting he
ttartcd for Tioneita in company with
another man, and on his arrival here,
at slated above, put himself in the
Sheriff t custody.
Coroner Stonecipher of Marienville,
was notified of the affair, aud, empao
elling a jury, held an inquest on the
body of the slain man. We have not
access to the testimony elicited at the
ioquest, and therefore can give none
of tbe sworn facts. The jury's vei diet
will be found appended to this report.
The revolver used it a 44 calibre
Smith & Westoo, larce size, and an
ugly looking weapon.
Edward S. Shippen wbo is 29 years
"of age, aud weighs about 135 pounds,
is a son of Edward S. Shippen, Sr.,
well known to tbe older inhabitants of
tbis county, aud who has for many
.years owned a large body of timber
laud in Barnett township. Although
a native oi mis tstate, ne lias lor a
number of years resided in Louisville,
Ky., where the principal in this trage
dy was born. About two years ago
Ibe lumber mill was erected on the
tract, and t'ne two sons, Edward and
William, were put in cbargQ of the
camp, and nave been operating the
same since its completion. Edward is
the oldest of the family, and has a
wife aud small child.
Joseph W. Say was a man about 38
yeart of age, was reared in Cranberry
township, Venango county, aod leaves
a wife and one ion aged about 7 years.
He bad been in the employ of the
firm about two months. His brother
appeared last Saturday and swore out
an information agaiust Shippeu, wbo
bad his hearing before Esquire Setley,
and was remanded to jail to await
trial. Following is tbe finding of tbe
Corooer'e jury ;
An tLquUilion indented at S. SUippens

Forett, State of Pennsylvania, before A E.
Stonecipher, upon tho view of the body of
Josoph W. Say, then and there lying dead,

Samuel Hart, W. B. Isbman, and Hamilton

and after what manner, the aaid Joseph W.
Say came to his death, do say that be came
to his death at the hand of Kdward 8. Sbip

hours of ten and eleven o'clock iu Bhlppeo'a

time shoot the aaid J o ph W. Bay, three
times with a Smith and Wesson, 41 calibre,

C. Rumbergnr Invoked the Divine bless
ing upon the assembly.
Prof. J. E. 11 11 lard was then introduced
and proceeded to deliver the address of
welcome In which he pleasantly alluded to
the antiquity of tho village to which he
welcomed the teachers from the county.
This address which was received with ap
plause, was ably responded to by Miss
Kate Ouenther who spoke for the teachers,
promising every endeavor to make the
Institute profitable and pleasant to all.

sation resulted tn the election of O. W.
Kerr, President, ex officio, F. W. Ware,

Teachers to the number of sixty-three
(03) enrolled. Institute adjourned to meet
at 7:30 P. M., at which time Mrs. Mary
Hunt delivered a lecture on Temperance
Work In tho public schools.
TUESDAY MORKINO, 9 A. M.
Institute opened with devotional exer
cises and prayer by Mr. Phillia. Singing
by Institute, after which Mr. F. F. Whit
tekin was introduced and gave a very In
structive talk on bis oyagn to South
America; ho described the people and
their manner of living at the different
points at which be stopped.
Institute agreed that an informal session
be held each day during the week between
11 and 12 A. M. beginning Wednesday
morning. Mr. Elliott was appointed
chairman.
Prof. Swift, Supt. of Elk Co.. was intro
duced aud gave us some excellent Ideas
on School Management, which will prove
of much value to tlm earnest worker, and
will shame the careless and disinterested
teacher. Recess. Institute called to order
by singing ''The Old Onken Bucket." Mrs.
Hunt was Introduced and taking as her
subject "What'a in a namet" gave a vory
pleasant and instructive talk. Mrs. Hunt
defines temperance as the moderate use ef
good things and the total avoidance of bad
things. She impressed upon the teachers
tho importance of teaching the nature of
the appetite for alcohol ; the use of a little
creates a desire for more. Prof. Swift re.
sunied bis talk on School Management.
First work, temperance organization and
classification. The teacher should take in
to consideration the embarrassments of
the pupil on the first day of school, there
fore make everything as pleasant as possl
b'e; have your work blocked out for each
day; have a placo for everything and
everything in its place. Institute ad
journed to meet at 1:30 P. M.
TUESDAY AFTCKKOON.
Institute called to order at 1:45. It was
then opened by singing "Tbe Merry
Farmer Boy" and "White . Blossoms."
This was followed by a piano solo by Miss
Ready. Roil call by Supt. Kerr.
Mra. Hunt then took up scientific tem
perance instruction occupying about one
hour. She gave advice in regard to the
choice of books on this subject, and why
the very beet books should be chosen.
She also showed how physiology could be
taught to foroign children as well as the
other branches required by law. Recess.
Extracts from Gov. Cumback's talk : "We
do not have enough interest to induce
teachers to qualify themselves so that tbey
can command higher wages. Many are
simply teaching as stepping-stones to
something higher. We do not give teach
ers sufficient salary to enable bim to make
teaching a permanent profession."
Prof. Himes then ably discussed Gram
mar, liecounnod his talk to supplemen
tary lessons to be given in connection with
the regular lessons from tho book. Ex
tracts: Every recitation iu all branches
should be a language lesson. The teach
er's language should be bis very best,
plain and simple. A good deal of gram
mar can bo taught without the pupil's
knowinglt. The pupil must do his own
work no amount of tolling will take the
place of teaching. Some teachers do not
give tbe pupil time to think charge him
with being slow. A method of teaching
the noun was illustrated. The sentence
"John walks," was taken ; the pupil is led
to see differences. After the pupil has
pointed out these the teacher gives tbe
word .noun. In teaching number iu
grammar require the pupil to prepare a
list of singular and plural nouns; these
can be used afterward in teaching case.
Iu teaching case have the pupil bring in
sentences illustrating the different ways
words may be used in ; for example, the
nom. case. Caution i Do not find fault, to
the pupil, with the textbook you are using.
It is your place, if you And errors, to
point them out to the Board ; the textbook
should bo the pupils authority.
WEDNKSDAT MORNING.

cises and prayer by Rev. J. V. McAninch.
Prof. Ballentino, of Clarion State Normal
School, was introduced and spoke SO min
utes on Civil Government, lie gave val
uabl3 iuformation aud hia talk was much
appreciated by the Institute. Prof. Himea
then continuod his talk on Grammar. He
aaid we should expect each child to do tbe
work for himself, and in his firm, yet
charitable manner, ho told how this might
be dono. He thinks it will not hurt the
teacher to see what different authors say
on any subject. Miss Ready gave some
pleasant instruction in music. Recess,
Roll call by Supt. Kerr. Teacbor'a in
formal session was opened, with Mr. El
liott in the chair. Mr. Nolph read a paper
on Arithmetic which contained many
practical and useful ideas. He was fol
lowed by Mr. Shaffer who related some of

"The great atodfall Is aianX The

love for the work 2nd, a desire to suc

sires to accomplish. The successful teach
er ever will have before him two schools,
the real and the ideal, and will contrast
the real school with the Ideal. A success
ful teacher Is devoted to bis work. If you
are crowded Into the schoolroom by neces
sity you must cultivate a love for the
work and qualify yourself to make the
best of the situation. There is no higher
calling ibat of the leathers; our world has
been blessed with great and noble men
who came to us as teachers. A knowledge
of the work begets power. The teacher
should understand the machinery of the
school room, such as the use of apparatus,
etc., thus preventing friction. Our work
Is guarded by the thormomoter of friction.
We should become better acquainted with
tho working of the mind we can do this
by studying Psychology. We should
understand enough now about tbe mind to
understand how it is controlled. Col.
Han ford was next introduced and greeted
with great applause. Among other re
marks he said, "if we cany along a warm
heart and a little common sense we will be
sure to succeed in teaching."
TTICTtSDAY MORNINQ.
Institute opened by singing "America,"
responsive reading, and prayer by Prof.
Ballentlne. Prof. F. W. Ware read the
following resolution, which was unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, tho teachers of Venango Co.,
are now in institute assembled; And,
whereas, we feel that our objects and alms
are the same, namely, the oducatlon of the
youth who are the hope and preservation
of our republican institutions; be it there
fore, Resolved, that the teachers of Forest Co.,
do send a New Year's greeting to our Co
laborers, the teachera of Venango Co. Mr.
Ware was appointed to attend to this. The
message sent was: Happy New Year's
Greetings; One in Purpose
Mr. F. F. Wbittcken continued bis talk
on South America. It was, as it wore, tbe
lifting of tbe curtain and revealing to us
somewhat of tbe lives of this people. A
glimpse of their poverty of speech shows
their low standing in civilization. Much,
bo sajB, depends on us for the safety of our
country in tho instruction of the youth in
this dark and benighted country. Intern
perance being great there it la not so
lmportanthow much knowledge of science
and art they have, as it is tbey shall know
of Him that ruleth over all, and shall
know the power of self-control. (Hence
if there is no Institute here next year the
citizens may know where tbe teachers
have gone.)
Prof. Ballentlne then continued his talk
on civil Government, from which we
learned that much dignity belonged to the
office of- Senator, considering that at
thirty (30) years of age a person may be a
senator and that the youngest peraon in
the senate at the present time is 45 and the
average age 63,
I'rof. Swift again spoke on School
management. He "guarded the teacher
against being the noisiest one In tho school
room, end against talking too much. This
was lollowed by instruction in music by
Miss Ready,
Through tbe kindness of Mr. Hardison,
Prof. Kerr had tbe pleasure of exhibiting
a young seal which had been captured off
the coast of Labrador when two weeks old.
Recess. Teachers informal session opened
with Mr. Elliot In the chair. The Query
Box was opened and many questions were
discussed, among others, "How would
you prevent whispering T discussed by
Profs. Himes, Swift, Hillard and others,
"What one thing above others should a
teacher insist upon in the school-room T
Answered by Prof. Ware who aaid in
substanco; Thoroughness first and last.
Let the teacher bo thoroughly prepared
