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.

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.

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

J. J. Landers, Secretary ; J. B. Sig
gins, Treasurer; P.M.Clark, Score

James D. Davis. A paper is in circu

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.

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.

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.
