Lee per, Clarion county, corre
spondence Clariin Republican : "It is
reported on good authority that a new
manufacturing industry is about to be
opened near this town, on the land
owned by J. S. Krauser. It has been
known for many years thot a body of
fine fire clay underlaid the largo coal
bed in this vicinity, and last summer
J. Krauser, had some tests made of the
mineral by Pittsburg and Washington
parties in bis presence, and they certi
fied that it was the fluest ihcy had ever
tested. Negotiations aro now under
consideration by several capitalists
from a distance to operate the clay,
and manufacture fire brick and crock
ery. If it is a go the company it is
said will build a plant that will
employ from 300 to 350 men "
As we went to press List week the
case of Iluttie B. Riley vs. The Na
tional Insurance Company of Alleghe
ny, was ou trial and it lasted until
Thursday afternoon. The jury gave
a verdict for the plaintiff' ot $845.33.
Tbe case of Uattie B. Riley vs. The
Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance
Company, was next taken up and oc
cupied tbe attention of the court for
the balance of ihe week. Verdict for
the plaintiff of $792 62. The cases of
George E. Hare et si., vs. The Anchor
Oil Company, aud Fred. Siitzioger vs.
Moses Ilepler, wero continued. In the
caso of Peter Ham, against whom a
true bill was found for larceny, the
amount stcleu being under $10, he was
sent back to Justice Foreman of Hick
ory, who issued tbe commitment, aud
was seulcuced by him to 90 days in
jail, where he now is. Court adjourn
ed Saturday at 4 p. m , to meet ou the
third Tuesday of March for argument
court.
We publish this week the text of
a bill now before the legislature, which
tbe title explains as ''Ao Act to pro
mote the business of lumbering," but
whether the citizens of the Common
wealth, who don't just happen to be
directly cogaged in that buiness, will
look upon it as promoting the welfare
of the individuals, is a questoin some
what mooted. To one "up a treer" it
looks as though the privileges intended
to be granted by this bill were "all
crow for Injun." Least io0 it appears
like goiog a trifle too far, and it would
not be a bad idea for all interested,
aud that includes a good many, to
read the bill and see how they'd like
to see it enacted iuto a law. There- is
an old law slill on our statute books,
but which is very little used, that seems
to pretty well cover tho ground. Rf
ereuce to this law is made in an item
in this issue, Mr. MafTett having made
use of it in a petitiou to our court last
week.
Salvation Oil has the enviable
distiuction of being a synonym for
rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, and
kindred affections, such as sciatica,
ticdoulcroux, etc. It is growing more
popular daily. The people beleive in
it, and will have it. 25 cts.

a lateral railroad from their mill to
the P. & W. railroad. The viewers

WEDNESDAY MOnHIKO.
Devotional exercises conducted by J.
W. Work. "Tho Model Superintendent"
was the first subject taken up and discuss
ed. J. II. Dingiuan opened the discussion.
Nearly all tho delegates present took part.
Here are some of tho points made : lie is
a Christian ; he is an exemplary man ; he
has oxecutive ability ; ho is a man of sym
pathy ; he is deliberate J he is punctual ;
ho is a clean man. "The Teachor's Prep
aration," oponed by J. K. Ilillard. Dis
cussed by all members of convention. Tho
following points were mado: No one can
teach without preparation of hoart and
of mind ; the teacher should bo in full
sympathy with his class, tho lesson, and
the spiritual truth to be conveyod by the
lesson. In preparing he should mako use
of tho teachers' meeting, lesson helps, and
of his bible, lie should begin to prepare
very early. lie ought to bo ablo to teach
without the aid of helps when ho appears
before his class. Lesson helps are to be
used at home. Bibles should bo used ex
clusively by pupils in tho recitation of the
lesson. It will pay evory school to koep
up its Teachers' Meeting. Queries an
swered: The Sunday School Associatiou
is supported iu this way; each school is
asked to contribute at the rato of one-half
cent for each scholar in tho school each
year. Tho Field Socrotary is tho only of
licor who receives any pay, and ho Is paid
a regular salary. Occasionally tho associa
tion receives a personal donation, from
persons interested. Less than two-thirds
of all the boys and girls in the State of
Pennsylvania attend Sunday school. There
aro 1,500,000 boys and girls iu tho State.
So that more than 500,000 of them do not
attend Sunday school. More than this
number yet do not attend church.
Tho advisability aud possibility of hold
ing District-Sunday School Conventions
iu the county was discussed.
To teach the primary department with
any success it Is necessary to have a sepa
rate room. Ono can be mado with calico
curtains, if in no ether way. A teacher
for littlo ones should have a young heart.
Teach with maps, charts, objects. Teach
concrete truth. Ask questions to bring
out what the child knows j for every child
knows something. At 0 a bright intelli
gent child has learned half ho will ever
know.
WKDSEaDAY AFTERNOON.
Devotional exercises conducted by J.
II. Dingrnan. Queries: An ideal of any
thing should be placod high, but always
inside the limits of possibility. Why not
eloct ladies as Sunday School Superintend
ents? Yes, why notT Nevor under any
circumstances lot anything interfere with
class study and recitation of tho lesson ;
begin on time, close on time. As a rare
exception In an extreme case tho timo for
the review of the lesson may be prolonged,
but the timo for a recitation never. A
Union Sunday School is a great deal better
than none. Where it is not possible to or
ganize and conduct a denominational
school by all means orgauizo a union
school. Prof. Sprcnkol song very effect
ively, "I was onco far away from tho Sa
vior," Mrs, Sharpo accompanying on the
organ. Prof. Sprenkol occupied tho re
maining part of the session in a talk to,
and with, and about, the children. Never
ask attention ; just get it by deserving it.
A children' meeting is more liko Ileaveu
than any other kind of a meeting, because
there are more children iu each place than
there are big poople. There is no praying
in Heaven. It is all praise. The Bible
has ten commands to praise God to ono
command to pray. We ought to think
more of Heaven than wo do. How do we
know there is such a place as Heaven f
Just in the same way that we know of any
other place; sonio ono who knows tells
us. Jesuscamedown froui Heaven. John,
tho belovod disciple, saw Heaven; both
thoso persons toll us of Heaven.
Prof. Sprenkel expects to be In Tionosta
some time in November noxt to hold a
Sunday School Institute.
Tho following dolomites were present at
tho convention :
Mrs. A. Bean, S. S. Whaley, Hickory;
Henry Manross, Mrs. Sallie Gorman,

Life of General Sherman.
No literary an nouiicemont of the year
is of grearter interest to thegenoral public
than that of a comprehensive Life ofGen
eral SUerman, which is aUnit to be pub
lished aud bold through agents by the
noted hoiuo of Hubbard Brothers, of
Philadelphia. Admirable biographies of
Grant ami Sheridan, complete to the timo
of their death, are already familiar to tho
public, but a lifo of tho third great com
mander, to finish the series, has been
lacking. The variaus biographies of
Sherman hitherto published have neeos
sarily been incomplete; and even his own
memoirs, written In 1ST5, said almost
uothing of liia intensely iulerwliiij; lite,
ami not a word of course, of the more than
twenty years of social activity and frater
nity with old comrades since the war.
Tho work which is now to be issued will
splendidly supply tho w idely felt demand
for a history ol the great strategic eoni
luandcr. It Is beiug writtcu by General
O. O. Howard, a man ot lino literary
attainments, who knew Sherman belter
than aoy ether of his commander now
living, and ranked next but one to him In
the army, and by Willis Fletcher Johnson
whose ability as a historian is familiar to
the reading public of America through
his t'oiun-i- uiiuaiially popular works,
whirli had milleoiH of n-a leis, ami the
sales of their vast oditions enriched an
army of book agent. That this history
ol Sherman, the last of tho great Generals,
will surpass all others in popularity is not
to be doubted.
The story of this groat General's career
Is ofa marvellous march from the moun
tains of time to tho sea of eternity. Of the
three gi eat war heroes, Sherman was by
far the most interesting personality. He
was tho best known to tho nilblio and the
best loved for his genial disposition and
wai m sympathy with the popular heart.
Holms Joined 'hix illustrious compeers
In his eternal blvounc of the the death.
His is a lifo to Ktlldv tn ntmilnla niul
a profound inspiration. Tho forthcoming
volume win ion mo Whole story or his
marvellous career, and from the author-
ship engaged upon it wonro assured it will
lie told in a way that will enthral the
Interest of every reader from first to last.
It is a book everv American will want
and ono eveiy American youth should
read. It will douhtlcss be the liest life of
the great chieftain published, and we
predict for it wonderful popularity.
