Easter Sunday was one of the loveliest days of the Season, balmy as a May morning. Tbe churches were well attended, and the services of more than ordinary interest, The special services at the M. E. Church were highly pleasing to all who at tended. Doubtless but few people are aware of the fact that the so-called ''blood oranges" are sometimes simply ordinary oranges treated with aniline dye. The originator of this trick, an Italian, was imprisoned for ten years. But the swindle is still occasionally perpetrated, says an exchange. Mr. Orville Stright, of Mercer couuty, brother of our worthy friend W. II. Stright, was io town a few hours last Saturday. The latter gen tleman has taken the contract of su perintending the lumbering business of W. II. Mabie of Tidioute, and will move his family to that place shortly. Rev.

Hopkins returned from New York last Wednesday evening and immediately retired to bis home for a few days to nurse a dose of the grip. He held up long enough, bow ever, while in the East to lay in one of the finest stocks of Spring goods that has ever come to this market, and if you don't believe it go to the store and soe. The heaviest snow storm of the season occurred on Friday last ex tending into the night. It is estimated that eighteen to twenty inches of snow foil in about fifteen hours, much of which melted as fast as it came down. Tbe heavy clusters on tbe trees and shrubbery afforded a beautiful scene as they glistened in the gas light after nightfall. Colonel Samuel Young, editor of the Valley News, Zelieuople, Pa., died on tbe 27th ult , after a long and se vere illness and great suffering. He was born in Pittsburg iu 1821, and at an early age he went into tbe news paper business, and had been in it ever since with varying success until his death. He had many acquain tances throughout this section of coun try, his chief editorial work being confined to tbe county of Clarion while iu ibis part of the country. Messrs. Landers & BovarJ. have the machinery for their handle factory on the way, and will soon be at work setting it up in the rink building. They purpose, making everything in the line of bandies that are usually mado from wood, and will add ma chinery for other work as the demand opens. Our best wishes are with tbese enterprising young men in their efforts to make something for themselves and at the same time add an industry to the town which is bound to benefit it. Tbey should and will receive the en couragement of all our best citizens. Ia its oil report for the month March, just ended, tbe Derrick bat this to say : A well drilled to the third sand, on the Fox tract, in Forest county, surprised its owners by start ing off at a 300 bbl. gait. It will prove tbe inceutive to further investi gation of the region lying south of the Cooper tract. Tbe report further shows 275 wells completed, 218 rigs up and 401 wells drilling, with a new production of 7,751 barrels. As com pared with the previous month this is an increase of 34 in completed wells; decrease in drilling wells 9; increase in rigs 23; iucreaso in new production 1,133, for the Pennsylvania field. A meeting of Tionesta base ball association was bold at tbe gas office, Friday evening last, at which the fol lowing officers were elected for tbe ensuing season : James D. Davis, President ; Dr. J. B. Siggins, Mauager ; J. J. Landers, Secretary ; J. B. Sig gins, Treasurer; P.M.Clark, Score man. Committee on Fiuaoce, Cbas. Kirchartz, Chairman, Will Kepler, James D. Davis. A paper is in circu lation asking for subscriptions from all lovers of the sport toward the sup port of the club, for fixing up and keeping the grounds in good repair, and it is hoped tbe boys will be lib erally dealt with, so tbut Tionesta may again carry off the championship this summer. The Presbytery of Clarion will convene at Edenburg, Clarion county, on Tuesday, April 28, inst., for its spring meetiug. Those expecting to attend should notify Rev. II. F. Earseman, Knox, Pa. A narrative, prepared by each session acoording to the "outline" in Book of Rules, is to be sent to Rev. J. V. McAnincb, at Tionesta, Pa., by April 15th. Pastors or clerks of sessions receiving blauks for Statistical Reports and Sunday school work should make their reports for the year ending April 1, 1891. These reports should be made with care, include everything contributed to each object, and be sent to Rev. J. S. Elder, Clarion, Pa., by April 15th. Attention is directed to the new ad. of Scowden & Clark, iu this issue. This enterprising firm was never in better trim for turning out new work, and never bad a finer display of new work on band than now. They aim to give customers the very best for their money, never slighting a job nor using any but the best material to be had, aud can warrant every part of a vehicle that comes out of their factory. Tbey have lately taken tbe agency for some of the most approved agricul tural machinery and sell it down low. In fact their prices aro all down, when tbe superior quality of their work is considered. Don't go away from home for anything in their line. They'll do better by you than you caa do else where. The ladies of the Presbyterian Church were taken by a happy thought not many days ago, and immediately set to work to carry it into execution. It concerned their esteemed paBtor, Rev. J. Y. McAnincb, although he was kept in profound ignorance of what was oing on until the proper time arrived. Last Friday evening be was invited to take tea with Ihe family of Mr. A. B. Kelly, and at about 7:30 o'clock a large number of his congre gation rang -for admission to tbe cheer ful maosiou. At a given Bigoal S. D. Irwin, Esq., arose, aud addressing the rather astonished minister, in a neat speech, on bebalf of the ladies, pre sented him with a beautiful gold watch, as a slight token of the high esteem in which he is held by his con gregation. Mr. MeAninch attempted a reply, but it was evident he was too much overcome by surprise to do himself justice in expressing his grat itude to tbe kind donors. The inside case of the watch bears in handsome ly engraved letters this inscription: "Presented to Rev. J. V. McAnincb, by his congregation, Tionesta, Pa., 1891." "Down on your knees, and thank Heaven fasting," not for a good man's love this time, but because you have cured your cold so easily with Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. S0.nETHIXO NOVEL. We noticed lust week the entertain ment to be given at the Presbyterian Church, Friday evening, April 3d, in which an award of a Silver Medal will be made by three disinterested judges. The growing favor in which these contests are held, the many cities, towns, villages and country places taking advantage of tbe munificent offer, the advaotago to our young people, and the money boosted to this purpose by one man, J ake it necessary for us to briefly ontliu the conditions upon which contests are entered into: W. Jennings Demorest, of the popular ladies' fashion monthly, donates the medals. Any 8 persons between tbe ages of 12 and 21 years can contest for a silver medal of handsome design, and failing tbe first time may compete the second time for this silver medal. .igbt persons having been awarded a silver medal may together compete for a gold medal but once. Eight having wou gold medals can compete together for a grand gold medal but once, and eight persons having been awarded grand gold medals may together com pete but once for a gold medal stud ded with diamonds. Books are fur nished by tbe Demorest Bureau, full of compositions fur recitation from which those entering for a prize must make a selection. Three judges are chosen who make the award. Tbe first contest in Forest county, will occur, as stated, this comiug Fri day evening, and with a free admission there will hardly be standing room. Of course, we suppose, a collection will be taken. The silver medal will be on exhibition in May, Park & Co.'s window until Friday, 3 p. m.

Some of the citizens of this place were successful in securing leases at the Wat- sou Farm oil Held and gutting good wolls thore, but the general opinion is that the sand Is too uhallow to make a very prolific Hold. Mr. Frank Dickinson of Rrookstou was in town not long since dickering for tho next bark crop. It is generally bolieved that bark will sell for hotter prices than j for many years. Application for liconso iu this place at the next term ot court is the general toplo of conversation at present. Some of our well informed citizens say tluy will be neither pro nor con. The people of this locality very general ly speak iu high terms of our new Presi dent Judge, Hon. Charles II. Noyes, aud are well pleased with his manner of ad ministering the law. NEWSY NOTES. Johnsouburg, Elk county, Is now an extensive shipping point for oil, about 1,000 barrels daily being sent by the iu depeudents. William Walker, of Circensburg, last week celebrated bis ninoty-third birthday. He has voted for evory Republican Presi dent, and is still halo and bearty. Nearly seven hundred members of the O. A. It. i this State, died during ISM. Tills is a larger death rate than any pre vious year, and shows plainly that the voturans are growing old. William Sweet, of Siverly ville, a freight brakemaii on the W. N. Y. fc P. road, was killed bv the cars at Warreir, at 8:30 Sunday evening. While stepping from a box car to the tank of tho engine, be fell benoalh the wheels. Twenty cars pujsed over his body aud mutilated him horribly before the train could be stopped. He was dead when picked up. He has a wile aud seven children living at Siverly. Ooo. M. Winchester, who keeps a cigar, fruit and confectionery store in Titusville, was troubled for a good while by the theft of goods Irom his place. On the evening of the 20th Inst., when closing the store, he set a loaded shotgun at the door where he suspected the man entered. Ho ar ranged it in such a way that lie supposed it would wound the intrudor on the legs In caso he opened the door. A string was attached to the door knob and to the trig ger, so that the opening of tho door would discharge the gun. About 8 o'clock that night the report of tho gun was heard. It was found that the load had entered the left breast of a boy named Johnny Barnes, killing him Instantly. The lad was in his 13th year and was sgiall for his no. The parents of the lad live in Titusville, The boy, It appears, was the one who had been committing the depredations, instead of tho tramps who wore suspected. A coro ner's Jury returned a verdict according to the facts, without comment. No further action was taken until Friday last, when District Attorney Host instructed Justice Strouse that it was his duty to enter pro ceedings against tho man who placed the gun. Ho says : "Whether a man has tho right to deliberately plant a death trap, and with it take a human life, even under such circumstances as thoso surrounding the case in question, is a matter to be de cided by a higher tribunal than mere street opinion." The caso is a novel oue and wilt excite general interest. KANSAS. McPherson, March 23, 1891. Ed. Republican : I received the Republican of tbe 18th ibis morning which I read with a great deal of pleasure. I always con sider it a treat to get it, for it gives me the news of my old home, that I have not forgotten. I presume that I never shall forget the good people of Tiones ta circuit. The year that I spent in your town was in many respects a very pleasant one indeed, and I always de sired greatly the prosperity of the town. Your last paper gives an ac count of the wonderful revival that you have had in the M. E. Church. I rejoice greatly with you, and would have been glad to have participated iu that great and glorious work. Between Tionesta and Nebraska the Devil must have had a bard time of it. He don't like Methodist protracted meetings, tbey give him lots of trouble. I tell you, Mr. Editor, when tbese protracted occasions occur, and God's people are oue, are a unit, as to faith and pur pose, tbe Devil gets routed completely ; tbe people triumph. I rejoice in your great religious prosperity. Please groet tbe pastor and people for your old friend. I do sincerely hope that it is only the beginning of the end, aud that greater things are in reservation for old Tionesta charge. McPherson greets Tionesta. We are just now in the midst of oue of the most wonder ful revivals that has ever occurred here. All tho churches are sharing largely in the harvest of souls; over seven hundred havo been converted, and the work is still going on glorious ly. It bas swept into its fold almost all of the busiuess men in our city e nave a business men a prayer meeting every day at 12 o'clock, and at every meeting some are converted or some take a stand for Christ. Our motto has been, "McPherson for Christ," and it does appear as if all was going that way. I have not at tended tbe meeting but a few times, having been confined to my home for three months with "grippe" aud pneu monia. I am alone in my house, and have a very lonely time since I have boen sick. My children are 1700 miles away-from me. I have felt the loss of my dear wife more Bioce I have beeu confined to my room, than ever I did before, but it is all right, when my work is done, my good Father io Heaven will take me home. I would like to see many of your friendly faces, but I presume this will be de nied me. God bless Tionesta aod Nebraska. Your friend, J. F. Hill. FOR SALE.
