Yesterday morning was an ex ceedingiy slippery one, aud we Dave a personal knowledge of at least one chap who took two tumbles to himself in going less than that many rods. There was but oue way fur the right eous to avoid siaudiog on slippery places along with the wicked, and that was to "keep in de middle ob de road," which we did after that.

A goodly Dumber of the Odd Fellows from Tionesta Lodge paid a visit to Yokohnma Lodge at Licking ville, on Saturday evening last, and bad a very pleasant time. While there a team from Tionesta Lodge did some work in conferring degrees in the initiation of t ime new members, which was very creditable to it. Jfore leaving our boys were treated TS an elegant serenade by the Tylersburg brass band, fur all of which they re turn thanks. Mr. R. S Pierce, who fur several mouths past has bad charge ot Alfred Short's lumberiug affairs at Little Tionesta, has closed up busiuess there aod returned to his home in North E-tst, Erie county. During his stay here Mr. Pierce has, by bis pleasant manners, prompt and genllemaoly dealings with (he people, made mauy friends, and all of them will be pleased to learn that be has been appointed postmaster at his place, aud will lake charge in the course of a few weeks, The great Kiozuu railroad bridge, which many of our citizens have seeo, is lo be painted the coming summer. It will lake a large force of men about four month to accomplish the work, costiog $20,000. It is a very difficult as well as a dangerous piece of labor to perform, aod but few men will trust themselves to climb about the dizzy height of three hundred feel from the ground. This will be the first lime the bridge has received a coat of paint siuce it was built, about eight years ago. The chances are that Tionesta will shortly have an industry which has long been considered a feasiblbone fur this section. It is a handle factory the projectors beiog Joseph Landers and Cbas. Bovard, and the base o operations is to be at the skating rink which it is proposed to fit up with machinery for manufacturing all kinds of turned wooden ware.

I will try and personally answer all these letters, but fur their benefit, and that of others who may wish a copy of this book, allow me to say through your journal, that uot a copy of this work cumes iuto the baud of the new members. The act authorizing the preseut edition, alio provided that they should be given for distrihu tion to the members of the last Legis lature. Hence, while I would be glad to do this service for all who wish a copy, it is utterly out of my power. The copies fur distribution in Forest couuty go into the hands of Mr. Ran dall, aud he will not have more than oue copy for each twenty or thirty requests, so some, even many must expect to be disappointed. Very Truly, S. S. Towler. We might state, in this connection, that Mr, Randall his had applications for these books oo file for over a year, for more than ten times the number of copies he will receive under the act. We think the preseot legislature will do well to have another edition print ed in order to satisfy the great demand for the book. Kd Decision on the Fence Law. Tho Clation papers report the fol lowing decision by the Supreme Court, touching the fence law over which there has been such a wide range of opinion throughout the 8tate. In all probability this decision affects Forest as well as Clariou county ; at any rate we give it for what it's worth : In 1889 the Legislature repeated the Fence Lw of 1700, but there was a difference of opinion among the legal fraternity as to its effect in this county. Some of the members of the bar claimed that Clarion county was under the Fence Law of 1784, and that the repeal of the law of 1700 made no change whatever in the Fence Law of this county. About a year ago Messrs. Reed & Wilso brought suit for O. B. Stewart, of Toby township, against Jacob Ben ninger, of the same place, for damages done to Stewart's garden aod crops, by Benninger's hogs which were suf fered to run at large without rings io their noses and yokes about their necks as required by the law of 1705. On the trial of the case it was claimed that the hogs were of tbo slab sided, long snouted breed, agaiust whose daily and nocturnal visits there was no barrier. Stewart proved that the hogs were of an exceedingly rapacious i.ature aud that six of them, at one anting, bad destroyed and devoured 50 pounds of paiot, 30 gallons of soft soap, 4 bushel of apples and 5 bush els of potatoes. Beoninger admittid that his bogs had been foraging upon Stewart's premises but claimed and offered lo prove that Stewart's fences were so bad that a hog could walk through them at various places without "ruffling bis feathers" io the least. To this Stewart's attorneys objected, bas ing their objection on the ground that there was no law in furce in Clariuo county which required one man to fence against another man's bogs Judge Wilson sustained this objection, aud ruled out the testimony, and the jury relumed a verdict in favor of Stewart fur the amount of damages sustained by him, whereupon Benuing er appealed the case to the Supreme Court, where it was argued by John W. Reed, Esq , for Stewart, and M. A. K. WeiJuer, Esq , for Beoninger, last Octobei,atid in view of the serious charges which had been made against Ibe lings, the court of last resort no doubt made careful inquiry into their pedigree, and on Monday last handed down an opinion adverse to the afore said hogs in which the Supreme Court affirms the opinion and ruling of Judge Wilson, which seems to settle the ques tiou that Clarion couuty was under the Fence Law of 1700, aud that law being lepealed, there is no Feuce Law io force in this couuty, aod therefore every man must restrain his stock, as well as his hog, or answer in damages for any iojury they may do when suffered to run at large.

"Talk about your crowded houses here in Pittsburg," said an old oil man to me as we came out of a theater which could hardly have hold more than it had that evening, "thcy'ro nothing to the crowds I've seen J mumped into tho Opera House at Petroleum Center, when tho old Venan go field was at the top of Its boom, along about 1S05. You'd never believe it to-day if you wero to see Petroleum Center witn Us paltry hundreds of population. But at the time I speak of there wero 25,000 people or more in the town, and it was the gayest place of its size I ever ran across, The theater used to be packed all the limo, and to a degree that Pittsburg managers dure not approach even on a holiday Once when James T. Sherry came to town and he used to come often, for bo was great favorite and sometimes stayed two or three weeks at a time there were so many men still clamoring for admittance when the evening's performance ended that he gave the play, a blood and thunder drama, over again right away and packed the bouse a second time. Now a traveling bear or patent medicine band is enough to exhaust the supply of amusement lovers of Petroleum Center." Pittsburg Dispatch The Unpardonable Sin. Rev. Dr. MeCurdy, in his sermon at tho Presbyterian Church in this place, on tho evening of Jan. 15, 1891, folectcd for his toxt Matt, xii., Zi: "And whosoever speak eth a word against the Soil of Man it shall bo forgiven him; but whosoever speaketh against tho Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world neither iu tho world to come." The speaker staled that by request of the pastor of the church the attention of the audience was invited to this most difu cult spubject. Difficult because we di not study it by the light of God's word Asa key to the text he announced tho 26th verse of 14th chapter of John, which reads, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send iu my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." Th special poixit upon which he placed th emphasis ot this verse was the authority of the Holy Splrl. The present enorgiz ing Christ, the h'jpo of the soul. First, ho announced the question, who Is the sin against tho Holy Spirit? H answered by say ing, upeaking agains Christ in the light of the Holy Spirit. T apprehend tho light of the Holy Spirit wo must study tho functions of tho Holy Spirit, viz; To convinco tho world of sin, of righteousness, aud of judgment to come. The speaker thou referred to our prautie.il experience: our liiuat- kuowledgo of de praved nature, our I .d of fitness or the righteousness of Christ as presented to us in tho Gospel, and tho anticipation of doom as Shu result of a sinful life. Again he said, this sin consisted in tho rejection ol Christ in tho light of the Holy Spirit. 1 1 eio the speaker illustrated the point by referring to the resurrection of Lazarus, and the centurion's daughter; and by reference to the hatred of tho Jews iu sending officers to bring Christ bound to their court. He said the black seal of death was not fixed till- Altor the resurrec tion of Christ, when they, knowingly, spoke against Christ with the evidence and the light of God's Holy Spirit pertain ing to the resurrection; anil especially against tho grand operation of the Holy Spirit on tho day of Pentecost, "whos-i-ever speaketh against tho Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiveu hiiu." In tho second place, he nsknd the ques tion: Who may com m it tl)is sin? Ilia answer was, any one saving V, no, to tho Gospel invitation. Here the speaker add ed, our danger was much greater than that of the Jew or Pharisee, in that we have all the light they hud and tho increas ing light of almost nineteen hundred years. Here a fow words of warning and earnest entreaty were given. Again, anyone cherishing hatred against the Church of Jesus Christ, or against any member of tho Church, or even indiffer ence to the cause of Jesus Christ was guil ty of tbia sin ; that these were a poor sub terfuge in tho day ol God's wrath. " How shall we escape If we neglect so great sal- vailon." 3d. Why Ood cannot pardon this sin. Bo- cause In its very nature it ignores the only remedy Ood haa provided for ain ; which Is the blood of Christ. Here the speaker Illustrated by referring to the fiery, flying serpents In the camp of the Israelites, remarking that no doubt many of the serpent-bitten Israelites objected to the rem edy. But with them It was either look or die, and so It Is with us. "Without the shedding of blood thoro is flo remission of in." God cannot pardon this sin because by it the sinner turns his back to the only door that leads from a state of mlsory to a slate of delight. The bleased Son of God, when on earth, said, "I am the door," and no man can come unto this door unless bo s drawn by the Holy Spirit. ' The sermon throughout was a most clear elucidation of thla very difficult and, to so many, troublosomo passago of Scrip- uro. Under the powor of tho apeakor's gi'-al reasoning and apt illustrations tho darkest places became light, and the ab struso plain. Ho said tho mistakes so often made in tho study, especially of tho offices of the difforent persons of tho Trinity, was in taking thorn In thoir sep aratencss rather than in the mutual rela tion they sustain to each other, which truth became quito evident in tho exposi tion of the text.
