One was the case of the Germau National 13a ok of Allegheny vs. N. S. Foreman. In the court here judgment was rendered fur the plaintiff; ibe Supreme Court re versed the decision. The other case is that of Reid aod McClnskey vs. Rider and Powell, io which the plain tiffs received a judgmeut in this coun ty. The Supteuie Court ettirius the decision of the Forest county court. On the uight of the 30ib of last month, during the temporary absence of Mr. Wm. Tubey from bis lumber ing establishment above Kellellville, some rogue, without the fear of the law or the "dickens" before him, en tered his bant and abstracted 700 wr 'H of chop io sacks. Now, Mr. Tooey has ever been noted for bis kindliness of beat t, and really don't lay up much grudge at the fellow who stole his chop, but as be is held for the sacks aod must pay for them if not returned to the owners, be thioks it would not be asking too much to re quest the thief to drop them off some time when he is passing that way, and Mr. T. will make no further kick. We can see nothing unreasonable iu this mild request, and hope the "gen will n it. Dr. A. E. Stooecipher has been appointed to the vacancy on the board of pensiun examiners for this county, caused by the resignation of Dr. Tow ler. The appointment of Dr. S. will give very general satisfaction to the old soldiers of this section. --Io the case of the borough of Broukville vs. Richard Arthurs, the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for something over (6,600. A year or IWjO ago Mrs. Brociua received $5,000 damages from the borough for injuries sustained by ber on account of a de fective sidewalk io froot of the Cen tral Hotel, owned by Richard Arthurs, aod this action was brought by the borough to recover the damages from Arthurs. Here is a warning to prop erty owners with bad sidewalks. Clarion Jacktonwiu Rev. J. M. McCurdy, D. D., Th. D , of Curllsville, Clarion county, is assisting Rev. J. V. McAninch io a scries of meetings now in progress in the Presbyterian church. The Dr. is one of the most popular ministers of Clarion Presbytery, both as a preacher and scholar, and those who fail to hear him are missing much in a spiritual way. Dr. MuCurdy was Rev. McAo inch's former pastor, which fact makes bis present visit and assistance of double interest aud pleasure to thelat ter. Some of our able and influential lawmakers are already Interesting themselves in the publication of anoth er edition of that celebrated picture book yclept "The Birds of Pennsylva nia." Blizzard. And why out? It is the only book published by the State in years for which there was a respect able demand, and we can see no good reason why the State's funds might not better be squandered (if that be the proper word) on a publication which the people waut thao on ooetbey don't waut. If all the licenses asked for io the surrounding counties should be grant ed, or any considerable number of them, there will not be much of a drouth in this latitude next summer. Clarion county asks for 37. Venango wsnts 43, 21 of which are aBked for io Oil City, while Franklin thinks of struggling along with 12.

Walter Russell and James Miller arrived io town last evening, all the way from Ihe State of Washington, whero they have been for the past two years.

All the Russell boys live iu Chehalis, where they are still running the large lumbering establish ment, exceptiug Tom, who is farming it about four miles out in tbe country. The boys will stay here till spring, and once more try the rafting, after which they will return to'lheir adopted State. Sheriff Osgood made his first ar rest siuce bis induction iuto office, on Monday of this week. Word bad been received here from Ashtabula, Ohio, tbat John Harger was jvaoted there on a charge of larceny, and offi cers have been keepiug a quiet lookout for bim for some time past. ' Monday as Sheriff Osgood stepped off tbe train at Oil City, he noticed Harger also alight, both baviog riddeu from bere on the same train. Following him a short distance tbe Sheriff stepped u and informed bim of his business, a immediately walked bim to the lockup until the afternoon train left, wheu he brought tbe prisoner here to await the action of the Ashtabula authorities.

The public installation of officers of Stow Post, G. A. R., and the Wom an's Relief Corps, last Wednesday evening, was ao interesting, and Io many quite a novel affair. The court room was comfortably filled with spec tators, aod the occasion, interspersed with music, speeches, Ac, passed off very pleasantly. Following are the officers installed:. G. A.

Of all tbe great newspapers nf the country none rank higher in the esti mation of tbe reading public than that prince of journals, The Pitttburg Dispatch. During the piestnt year the Diepateh will occupy its tlegaut new granite fire proof building, corner of Diamond and Smitbfield Sts., where the fittest and fastest printing machin ery will be employed to turn nut the great daily editions. Tbe Daily Di patch bas reached the wonderful circu lation of over 30,000 copies, while tbe mammoth Sunday edition ha eclipsed all competitors, end now turns out over 60,000 copies of tweoty pages and upward, making almost a volume in itself. In its financial, commercial, produce, live stuck and iron markets, tbe paper far surpasses all others, aod as to its oil news it is ranked at the head. It has perhaps tbe best facili ties for news-getting of any journal in Western Pennsylvania, carrying a daily special cable report, and con trolling leased wires connecting its rooms with all the leading cities of the country. The Dispatch will continue, as ever, a thoroughly iudependeut Republican journal, and will handle eveuts with regard to absolute truth and public iuterest as a first and only consideration. In this section it has not only been in great favor with the reading public, but grows with age in the estimation of people, who love it fur the enterprise and backbone it displays on every one of its sparkling pages. Blown to Atoms. From Oil Citv comes the news of auolher terrible nitro glycerine explo sion, which took place shortly before noon of last Friday, the scene being at the magazine of the High Explosive Co, ou Two Mile Run, about four miles from the city- Tbe unfortunate victim this time was Eugene Rew, who bad followed the hazardous business of well shooting fur fifteen years, aod was one of the most careful and trust wnrr'iy men io the company's employ. Of urse tho cause cau only be eur mis . The liliitard gives these facts: t nearly a thousand feet sur r iding the poiut of the explosion . reinaius of Rtw were scattered on the snow aud io the biauchea of the shrubbery and trees The fact that he was tbe man who bad driveo to the magazine and that some of the frag ments of clothing, including pieces of a rubber coat, were all that Could be found to identify him. His body was literally blown to pieces. The largest part discovered was a piece of oue foot, which was lound by Mr. Dibble fully 300 feet from where the wagon stood. And yet, notwithstanding tbe fact that the body was blowu iuto thousands of pieces, so peculiar was the power of the explosive iu its fearful execution, that scarcely a drop of blood was any where to be seen. The magazine is in a bullow a few rods from the road aud iuto this hol low Rew had evidently driven bis team and backed the wagon up to tbe magazine for the cans. Though the roanuer iu whir.b tbe accideul occurred will never be koown, tbe supposition is that iu loading the caus, or after be had tbein loaded, through some slip of his own or of the wagou or horses, two of the caus must have struck each other, and that as glycerine is panic ularly sensitive on a morning as cold as this morning wa, the explosion was the result. The wagou, as previously noted, was backed op to the magazine and toward the road, tbe horses facing tbe woods. After the explosion the auimals were f und to have beeo lifted bodily aod thrown about twenty feet over some barrels aud brush and laud ed upon their feet. Neither of them was killed, though both yes badly siifldued aod cut somewhat .y tbe fly ing debris. Oue of the horses had apparently been lifted clear over the other as their positions were found to have beeti reversed aud there Weie no tracks to indicate that tbey had so changed themselves. All tbsrwas left of tbe wagon was the tongue aud the underbrush surrounding was torn to shreds. And yet only the glycerine on the wagon exploded that in the magazine was untouched though but a few feet awsy. Rew was seed about 35 vears. and leaves a wife and three children living at 1 ranklin. Milling From Home. The L-iuisville Commercial of Jan. 7ib, mentions tbe mysterious disap pearance from his home in tbat city, of Archie. K. Bates, son of the late Hun. II. S. Bates of Titusville. Ar chie is well known iu Tionesta where he bas been a very frequent visitor, and where he bas a host of friends among the young people of our town. About four mouths ago he -was mar ried to Banker Quigley's daughter of Louisville, where be bas beeu living for a year or more past, having a po sition as clerk in the office of his uucle, Will H. May. Tbe Commer ciaC$ report says : "Their married life has apparently been a happy one aud the young peo pie seemed greatly devoted to each other. Nothing whatever transpired to mar their happiness. "Ou last Friday afternoon Bates left the house, sayiug tbat be would return in half an hour. Coming up towo he met a friend, and it is said they got a cigar in Kick and Jake's saloon, ou Jefferson street, above fourth. When the friend left him Bates said he was going borne, and he started In that direction. That is the last that has been seen of bun. A search has beeo instigated, but with out avail. At every place that he bas beeo accustomed to visit inquiry bas been made, but a negative answer is always the result. No cause can be given by his friends for his disappear ance, except that, a few days previous to his disappearance from home, he bad been somewhat despondent, though nothing was thought of it at the time. His friends aie unable to offer an ex planation for bis absence, and they fear tbat something serious has befall en bim. "The day following his disappear ance. after an unsuccessful search had been roide for bim, Mr. May tele graphed to his mother in Titusville, and be received a reply staling that the young tuau had not been there. His wife is almost distracted over bis disappearance." Barnett Notei.

An es teemed coteinpnrary is dazed over that new fad tho game of "Tiddledy Winks," and undertakes to explain the mystery by saying that "Any number of players may engage In the game. Each player takes n dlnges. Tho winks are divido I equally, likewise the doflli ities. Take a wink, put it on the dingus,' then by pressing a tid dledy on tho wink, make it lump into the wlnk-jKit If you can. If you succeed you are entitled to a duflielty, and for every wink you jump into the ding-pot from the duwiuk you count a lictiddledy, and con tinue so to operate the tonk-wlnkle upon the pollywog until tho points so carried shall equal tho sum total nf the hogwip multiplied by the puterinktum and added to the contents of tho aforesaid wink-pot, or words to that efl'eet, you may be said to havo won the game." Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages are the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in society pastures without a muzzle on. They have children before they do mustaches. They are mar i led and the father of twins before they are possessors of two pairs of pants, and the little girls they marry aro old women before they are 20. Occasionally one ol these gosling's marriages turns out all right, but it is a clear case of luck. If there was a law against youug galoots sparking and marrying before thoy have cut ail their teeth, we suppose the little cusses would evado it In some way. Hut there ought to be a sentiment against it. It Is time enough for those bantams to think of finding a pullet when they have raised enough money to buy a bundle of lath to build a hen coop. But they see a girl who looks cunning, and they are afraid there will not bo cuougb to go 'round, and then they spark real spry, and before thoy are awaro of the sanctity ol tho marriage relation they Aro hitched for life, and before they own a cook stove or a bedstead they have got to get up in the night and go for the doctor, ao frightened that they run themselves out of breath and abuse the doctor because ho does not run too. And whan the doctor gets thero, there is not linen enough in the house to wrap up tho baby. I'eoria Ctll. For .Sale.
