Price 25 cents. The dwelling portion of the building in which Fred. Morgan's store is situated in Oil City, was badly damaged by fire last lust Thursday noon. All of Fred's household goods, were destroyed, on which he had an iosuranco covering about half of his loss. The fire was extinguished before it reached the store. Last week a young man by the name of Tanuer met with a violent death at Browns mill, this County. The young man was engaged as brake man on a log train that hauls into the mill at that place. While making a coupling last Friday eveuicg, one of the logs on the rear car shot forward catching Mr. Tanner's body between it and the front, completely crushing tho lower part of bis body. Mr. Tanner was 22 years of age, aud un married. His home was at Bear Lake, Warren Co. Marienville Erpre8. We observe by the press teports fruui Ilarrisburg that Governor Patti son, ou Thursday morning, sent to the Seuate' tho name of Dr. C. C. Rum berger of this place, to be Coroner of Forest couuty, vice Dr. Stonccipher, resigned, and that the nomination was at once confirmed. We don't know but this is about as good an appoint ment as could have been made under' the circumstances, as the Doctor, after "sitting" on any mysterious fatalities that might occur, can deliver a good sermon on the deceased, thus avoiding delays, which are often vexatious and .... irouuiesonie.

So says one of the leading mcmbors of the order. As to shoes! Lawrence &, Smear baugh lay claim to the possession of a stock, since their last invoice arrived, that has never been excelled, and per haps never equalled in Forest county. The stock consists of ladies', men's aod children's shoes, and for complete ness of variety, excellense of material, style of finish, and lowness of price, their equal is not found outside the large cities. They keep nothing but the standard makes, and are teady to stand over every pair as being just as represented. Before making your se lections call aud look over their line. We find tho following pleasant reference to our popular Presbyterian clergyman in a recent issue of the Clarion Jarhonian : "A correspond ent from Curllsville writes, 'the Rev. J. V. McAninch of Tionesta, Pa , preached last Suuday in the Oak Grove Presbyterian church to a large and attentive audience; his sermons eviuced both care and ruontal ability; his manner and address, pleased not only his old friends, but also all who listened to his touching and eloquent appeals in behalf of God's Sou. We bespeak for him a bright future the sequence of a devoted christian life.'" Easter falls on March 29, an un usually early date. Tho earliest date on which Easter can fall is on March the 22, aud this only in case the moon is full on March 21, when this date happens to fall on Saturday. This combination of circumstances is ex tremely rare. It occurred in 1093, 1761, and 1861, and will happen again in 1990, 2076 and 2144, while during ibe three following centuries it is not onco "on the books" at this early date. On tho other hand, Easter never falls later than April 25; this was the case in 1666, 1734 and 1886, and will only happen once in the next century namely, in 1943. Ex. Eugene Moynihan, father of Mrs. Goorgo Raab, of ibis place, died yes terday afternoon at ouo o'clock. Mr. Moyuihao, whose home was in Oil City, came here to v it it his daughter in December last, being then in deli cate health from a trouble of the throat from which he has Buffered for a number of years. After his arrival here he became more fteble and was unable to return to his home. During his last illness he was tenderly cared for, and all done for him that could be, but his end came suddsuly and rather unexpectedly, although he had for several weeks been considered past recovery. lli remains will be taken to Oil City fur burial. He was aged 72 years. Mother Stewart, who had been announced to deliver a lecture in the Presbyterian Church, lat evening, under the auspices of the W. C. T. U., was unable to fill the engagement. The following will explain: Parkers Landing, March 5. My Dear Sitter : I write you to say that I find myself so utterly broken down that it is neo essary for me to cancel further engage mcuts and get home at once. I have been very busy for a good while, and so very tired, but determiucd to finish my engagements. But yesterday's very long journey and the severe cold have been too much for me. I can not tell how I regret it, for I felt pleasure in once more, after many years, returning to help just a littlo in our blessed cause. Lovingly, your Motiiek Stewart. This certifies that I have used Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and found it to be what it is represented.

A. J. SlliWORTH, ot. East Hickory, Pa. Fatal Accident at Stewart Ron. On Friday evening of last week, Ralph Dawson, sou of John A. Daw son, living at Stewarts Run, this coun ty, accidentally shot himself, death resulting almost instantly. The particulars are as follows, as near as we can learn them: A few days prior to the time of the accident, it seems that the deceased had come into possession of a singlo barreled old-lime style of pistol ; the pistol had been fished out of a barrel of old rubbish, and the boy, as any boy is more than likely to do, without any fear or thought of harm to follow, had proceeded to use the weapon. The pistol was uot in good shape; the trig ger was broken, and the hammer would not stay cocked, it being neces sary to bold it back when a cap was placed on the nipple preparatory to shooting the weapon. The weapon was fired off by pulling the hammer back with the finger or thumb and then letting it go. The deceased had had the pistol at school and he and the other boys there hnd used the weapon considerably, and it would seem had been in the habit of loading the pistol with very heavy charges. On the evening referred to' above he had come home from school aod came into the house to where his mother and an aunt who was visiting with thorn, wero. His mother said something to him about their going out that eveuing to make a call on somo friends, He made the remark that he did not care to go, and soon after went up stairs to his room. Not long after ho had gone up s'airs his mother and aunt heard a noise that sounded like the report of a pistol ; they thought however that it came from out of doors and so thought little of it. His brother George, who was out at the time, had also heard the report and came in and spoke about it, and started up stairs, Mr;. Dawson, his mother, following. On entering the room a sad spectacle presented itself. On the bed, face downward, feel hanging down on the floor, and arms outspread lay Ralph, and near his right hand lay the pistol, dis charged. They turned him over and laid him on the bed, but the only sign of life he gavo was tho opening and turning around of the eyes in an in voluntary way. Dr. J. B. Siggins of lioucsta 4 miles distant was hur riedly sent for and came, but when he arrived tho only sign of life remain, ing was a very slight fluttering of the heart and that soon ceafed. It is supposed that after going to bis room he had loaded the pistol with a heavy charge of shot or it may bo it bad been Laded before and he was putting a cap on wheu tho shooting occurred. He had probably taken the pistol in his left baud, muzzle toward him, with his thumb was pressing back the hammer and with Lis right hand placed the cap on when his thumb slipped and the weapon was discharged. The charge had entered his breast about halfway between the two sides making a hole where it entered almost as large as a silver dollar, rather oval in shape, and lodged in the lungs tear ing and lacerating the in fearfully. Ralph Dawson was boru May 20, 1877, and so was aged 13 years, 9 months, and 16 days. He was a boy of excellent traits and character. His friends, of whom he bad many, uuite their sorrow with that of the grief stricken parents, and extend them their warmest sympathy in their great bereavement. The funeral services will be held in the M. E. church at this place, to day, at 1 o'clock p. m., Rev. C. C. Ruuber ber officiating. Interment in River side Cemetery. Death of Mrs. Robert thrUty. Susanna, E , wife of Robert Christy, died at her home, in Kansas City, Mo., Friday morning, March 6, 1891, aged 56 years, 6 mouths aud 26 days. Mrs. Christy was born in Tionesta, her parents being the late Jacob and Margaret Shriver. Thirty-nine years ago she was uoited iu marriage with Robert ChrUty, and for some years they resided iu Tionesta, afterward moving to Tidioute, Pa., where they made their home until about twelve years ago, when they went west, about six years of which time has been spent in Kansas City. Three children were born to them, Charles, Bells aud Elliott, all of whom are living and grown up. About one week previous to her death she was takeu with chills which resulted in pneumonia, aod despite the best of care and attention ended in taking ber life. Mrs. Chtisty was a devoted mother aud aliecliouate wife, much attached to her girlhood home, and but a short time before her demise ex pressed a dcsiie to be buried beside her parents. Iu accordance with this request her remains were brought to Tionesta yesterday moroing, and were laid to rest iu Riverside Cemetery, where ber parents, and other kindred gone before, lie asleep. Tho funeral services took place from the residence of her brother, Z. T. Shiiver, at half past two o'clock, tho services bcicg conducted by Rev. Rumberger. All our older class of citizens will join in extending sympathy to the be rcaved husband and family in this hour of deep affliction. OIL KOTF.N. Within the next two or threo weeks the territory in the vicinity of the Cropp farms, out beyond Tubbs Run, in Green and Hickory townships, will be known to contain either oil or no oil in paying quantities, as develop ments are going on there which will test the mutter pretty thoroughly. S. J. Wolcott has a well down ou the farm of E. E. Vockroth, but re fuses for the present to disclose its contents. It is about 1000 feet deep, through the sand, and shut in aud boarded np. I. N. Patterson's No. 1, about 300 feet west of the Wolcott well, has been down and locked up for some time a mystery, thus far. Patterson No. 2 is down in the neighborhood of 500 feet, and may finish this week. It is located about 300 feet northwest of No. 1. Patterson No. 3 is located on the Jas. Albaugh farm, some 200 rods northeast of No. 1, and the rig is up. It will be drilled as soon as Messrs. Grove & Shields, contractors, have finished No. 2. It is scarely likely that any of these wells will be opened up until all are completed, at least that is the talk now. And then we shall see what we shall see. ' Toverty Hill. During the winter some good wells have been drilled on the Waterhouse property, in fact the best yet drilled on the hill. One well was finished this week, but it doesn't show up nearly so good as tbe last two preced ing it. But then it was a little off the "line" and was intended rather as a "feeler" after unknown possibilities, Waterhoso has leased property ad joining his first purchase. Whether much will be done during the spring and summer up here in drilling it will probably take the spring and summer to determine. Most all of us have beeu taking our installment of la grippe and mumps. Stowe Sdtley is the latest victim so far. He takes his quota calmly as possible, but for a man of profound peace he has shown a vast amount of jaw we must say. John Wiles is able to be out just a little bit. Uncle Sam is a little tardy, wo think, with John. Our friends up at Fngundas have beeu, and ure still, having a revival in the M. E. Church there. John Ep.go. Representative Towler Talks. A few days ago a bill to introduce the practice of physical culture in the city schools of the Commonwealth was before the House, and called forth a good deal of oratory from the mem bers, but uone more to the point or neatly put than the followiog remarks from our wide-awake member, Dr. Towler, who received flattering com pliments from his brother solons: Mr. Speaker, I hope the gentleman from Cumberlaud will withdraw his amendment. I have so much respect for that gentleman's intelligence that I thiuk if he fully comprehends tbe nature of this bill he will withdraw it. I am very much interested in this bill. I cau see what a vast amount of good it will do. It will confer a lasting benefit upon the children of the Com monwealth, who, I have no doubt, will feel like passing a vole of lhauks to the gentleman from Eiie, for intro ducing it iuto this House. It does not apply to common schools iu the coun try. So far as my county or your county is concerned it does not apply, uor iudeed does it need to, for our boys are as healthy as the breeze that sways our mountaiu pines and as sup ple as the sapling that beuds before tbe storm, while our girls are as rosy as the crimson liot that beautifies our skr when the sun has suokeu behind our Western hills. But the majority of the boys aod girls of our city schools are njt so, aud more' the pity. One meets tbum so often with their pale faces, pallid lips, flattened chests and listless, uervous tread. The rea- bou for this is not hard to fiud. It lays in ibe system of our city schools. The miud is over taxed while n attention is paid to the body. You kuow, sir, that after all our boasting wo are not a thinking people. We let the parson do our religious thinking, and quite often the practice also. We let our lawyers legislate us without a thought iuto bankruptcy. We select our doc tors aod never find out that they did not understand the cade uutil a muuu meut marks our folly. But iu none of these things do we do so little think ing as in the educatiou of our children. Tbe child is expected to learu much. Our instructions are to make him a prodigy. The result is the cramming process. He is urged to more menial strain than the body and brain cau staud without a thought that the body must weaken under it, for there is nothing more depressing to the body than an over-worked braiu. Our remedy for this is found in this bill. The exercises are simple aud graceful and coujift of easy and graceful move ments of the arms without any appa ratus whatever; but, sir, simple as the movement aud process i, tho trans formation is wonderful. After ten or twenty minutes of this exercise tbe blood flows freely through Ibe entire body, reddons I lie pale cheeks and tips with pink the pallid finger ; it restores the wasted muscle and tones the nerves ; it does all this and more it nourishes and invigorates tho overworked and poorly nourished brain, and the boy and girl goes back to study refreshed aod happy. Such is what this bill is intended to do and will accomplish, and the simple, practical method and souud common sense incorporated iu the measure will, I trust, commend it to you personally, aud to the honora ble and intelligent gentlemen over whom you so gracefully preside NEWSY .NOTES. The nob' est quality in human nature is kindnex and the lack of It is something which neilhor tho equipment of wealth, education or professed religion can con ceal.

Blizzard, Henry Hall, of Morccr county, ex-member ol tho Legislature, is now tho legisla tive correspondent of tho Pittsburj? Dit patch, and his frionds call him "Harry" fortdiort. Harry A. Hall, of Kilt county, ia a dignified Senator now nerving for the first time from a district so ably repre sented by his distinguished brother, John O. Hall. Mr. Hall is in lumber and law and banking business up iu St. Mary's. Somehow the people who deliver tele grams and lettors hero mix these two gen tlemen up very much to their groat dis comfiture. Tho other day for instance Senator Hall received a telegram which said) "Lookout for Flinn's wharf bill. Try and scoop an interview with Oov. Pattison. If Leo is there, talk Burdiek bill with hioi. Cut things to tho bone. We aro all bunged up. Madden." This was all Greek to tho young Senator. What had bo to do with I-'linu'a wharf bill, and why should ho look out for it? On what should he interview tho Governor and why should ho scoop it? And why should he talk to Lee on tho Burdiek bill, when he had had Burdiek bill talkad into him for twenty-four hours at a stretch ? As to cutting things to the bono, ho never cut anything. He didn't carry anything but a small pen-kuifo and he had no disposl tion to cut anybody skin doep. And what Interest was it to him that somebody was all bunged up j And who was Madden? It was most mysterious, thought the Sen ator ; it must bo a cipher telegram. That veiysaiue day Hall, tho correspondent, received a telegram that read something like this: "Can sell a big bill of squaro hemlock and some pino to go down Sin- nniuahoning early spring on first water, Jim says he will soo you soon uliout that discount. Court meets noxt week to hear argument." This was a poser fur the newspaper man. "What tho dickens do 1 care for lumber?" said he. The only lum ber ho cared for was a lead peucil. As for it going down tho Sinncmahonlug, that was no concern of his. It might go over tho Niagara Falls for all ho cared. And who was Jim, and what did this discount business mean? Was it possiblo that iu a lit of abscnt-mindodiiess he had given somebody his note ho, a rowspapor man, Kivo his note? And what scrape was be in now that the court was going to hear argued? By Jove, this was tough luck, just as he was getting sottlod down in Harrisburg, to have all this eonio rushing down on him. He scoured his memory, but it did not come to his rescue. Then ho looked at the telegram again. It was dated St. Mary's, and light began to dawn on him. This w-as not for him. It was for a St. Mary's man, aud it only nocdod a littlo reflection to show that he had Sena tor Hall's telegram. Ten minutes later the two Hall's wore exchanging telograms and enjoying a hearty laugh. But things aro still mixed and will be for a while uutil messenger boys and post offlce clerks get tho bang of thing. HarrUburg rdegraph. WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.
