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

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

gratulate Dr. Kumberger on his ap-puiutmeut.
Old soldiers are not generally
aware that the badges and buttons
worn to designate membership of the
U. A. K. are protected by letters pat
ent, therefore all persons wearing the
same when not members of the G. A.
R. in good standing, subjoct themselves
to prosecution and fine of one hundred
dollars for each and every offence, by
act of Congress, approved January 2'.),

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.,

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. I can safely
say that it has helped my cough
(which I might say was chronic) and
I cheerfully recommend it to all those
afflicted. II. W. Dcuuclly, 64 East

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.

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

which neilhor tho equipment of wealth,

Henry Hall, of Morccr county, ex-member
ol tho Legislature, is now tho legisla

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

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
