MoAnicch entertained a goodly number of the older members of his church and congregation at the residence of Dr. Sigglns last evening. Dr. Nason returned from Leeoh burg Monday and reports Mrs. Sloan some better from her attack of pneu monia, wilh fair hopes of her ultimate recovery, Man's greatest eneray is the wine glass; woman's, the looking-glass.

A trout less than that length never was heard of from the fellow that did the Calling. Harry Moody has become a citi zen of the borough, moving into the house of Wm. Heibcnlhal. Willis Brace has also come to be one of us for a time at least. He will occupy D. W. Clark's vacant house. Jas. n. Fones was called to Pitts burg last week by the llluess of his sister, Mrs. Clara Haydcn, who is critically ill with inflammatory rheu matism. At last aocounts she was little or no bolter, her friends will be sorry to leant. Mr. S. J. Campbell was called to Euclid, Butler county, last week, to attctid the funeral of his daughter, Mrs. Oliver Piser, who died on the 9th inst., cged about 30 years. Sho leaves a husband and 5 small children to mourn her loss. License court was held in Warren this week, and the work of bearing petitions and reraonstraocrs consumed Mouday afternoon and all of yester day. The court reserved his decision till Suturday at 2 o'clock. Meanwhile both sides are on the anxious seat. Will Morrow is home, and ex pects to start for Pittsburg to-day to take a position as drug elerk iu the store of E. II. Hyatt, formerly of this placo. Will's sister, Miss Nannie, has gone to the Watson Farm, Howe twp., to finish his term as teacher of the school at that place. Twelve tbouband trout, furnished by the Corry hatchery, were distrib uted to citizens of this county last week, upon the applications reoently made to the State Fish Commission. The trout, which were about of an inch in length, were all deposited in streams within the county. Walter J. Smith, father of our former townsmon, C. W. Smith, died at his home near Warren on the 30th ult , as a result of tn accident from a pistol shot which terminated in blood poisoning. He was well known to many of the old time lumbermen of the Allegheny, amongst whom he spent many years of his life. An exchange is responsible for the statement that there is an element in the common pineapple similar to pepsine, and of such remarkable strength that the juice of a single apple will digest ten pounds of beef. It further states that the juice of the fruit is a very active solvent of tho incnibraue caused by diphtheria. The Memorial Home cook book, going through the presses of the News, will probably bo completely printed next week. It is a work of two hun dred and forty to fifty pages and will be ready for delivery about the first of May. The contributors cover a wide range of the States and include many valuable recipes. We have no doubt it will find a ready sale and that the W. R. C. will make a cice revenue therefrom. Tidioute Neivi. To those who would enjoy a really rich musical treat, we would say, go and hear the famous New Orleaos University Singers, at the School Hall to night. It is not often a town of the size of Tionesta is favored with a per formance as meritorious as this will be, and it should be well patronized. There is nothing fiuer on the road in the line of jubilee singers, and to miss bearing them will be to miss the mu sical event of the year. Admission 25 and 35 cents. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kirchartz arrived in town last Friday, and will soon begin housekeeping in tho houso lately occupied by R. L. Haslet. Charlie was given a royal send-off by his friends in Brookville, where he and his better-half are deservedly popular, and if there is any rice or old shoes loft iu the place it is because his rig was not large enough to carry them away.' The Republican joins in ex tending the happy young couple a cordial welcomt to our midst. Mr. J. II. Robertson, who left here about four weeks ago for Wash ington State, intending to embark in business, returned last week, fully sat isfied that tho chances for a man of moderate means were a half better in Forest county than in that section of fair wages and very high prices. He didn't propose to remain there long enough to spend all bis funds, either, and will once more settle in business in this county, which we are glad to know, and welcome him back. Mr. and Mrs. John Walter, in company with Charles and his wife, loft on tho noon train yesterday bound for Washington. John passed a year of his life in that State and liked it, but he found it "not good for man to be alone," and so came back to Forest county and took unto himself one of ber charming young daughters to share his fortunes on the distant Pa cific slopeB. Good luck, good healtb and much happiness go wilh them, is the wish of all their acquaintances here. Senatorial and Judicial appor tionment bills have been introduced in the legislature, but as both are by DemocraU they will not pass in their present form. The Senatorial bill puts Forest in wilh Warren and McKean couutics, a very desirable place, and one which would be satisfactory to our county. The Judicial bill leaves us where we are, with Warren, also a very satisfactory condition. Whatever changes maj be made in these bills it ia hoped the arrangement of these two districts will remain as now proposed. The borough council held its reg ular monthly meetiug on Monday, P. M. Clark was elected clerk for the ensuing year. Settlement was made wilh Street Commissioner Hood, and partial settlement with Collector Can field. Mr. Hood was temporarily en gaged to look after such repairs in streets and sewers as required imme diate attention. The tax levy for the ensuing year was fixed as follows: Cash tax, four and one-half mills; road or work tax, four mills; bond tax, two mills, aud light tax, one mill. The death of Whitman S. Davis, a brief skotch of whose life is furnish ed by a friend of the family, will be a sad surprise to very many in this county, where he was so well and fa vorably known. A private, note from his bereaved widow, written on the day of his death, was received by us on Friday last, two days after the fu neral, and was the first intimation friends here had of Mr. D.'s death. The Republican joins in the general sympathy that will go out to the fami ly in the loss of a devoted huBband and affectionate father. Mr. Oliver Byerly returned a few days ago from Kelso, Washington, where he tins speot the past two years, in the management of the mercantile establishment of Collins & Co., who are carrying on a large lumbering in stitution there. He called on the Republican yesterday and be had grown so fat we scarcely recognized bira. Mr. B. is here fcr the purpose of disposiug of his farm aud house hold effects and lo take his family back wilh him. Notice of the sale appears elsewhere iu this issue. He reports all the Forestouians in that section well, prosperous and happy. Hopkins & Co. have their store well stocked with seasonable goods and at prices very low. People make no mistake when they trade at their store. It If you want a fine spring suit of clothes HopLius & Co.'a U the place to get tho latest. Don't forgot it. It Here's a pair of 'em from the Blizzard : There are men who never have any use for a newspaper until a hopeful son or daughter displays some phe nomenal brilliancy. They then want a long account of it written and as like as not tbey will "support the paper" by buying three copies. But they will insist on getting them at dealers' rates. It is amusing to see some of the old skiu flints, who never advertise nor subscribe for a paper, come belly aching around for a complimentary fiuff when they change their business ocation in tho spring time. They always get a sweet little notice in tho Blizzard when they bring the price with them. Some of the sick: Quintain Jam ieson, who has had a severe attack of the grip, was slowly mending at last accounts. George Klump, who has been confined to his house for nearly three months, is still very weak, but hopes to be able to go out again when pleasant warm weather comes. Fran cis Watson, the aged father of George F. Watson, has been having a severe attack resembling grip, but is gaining a little now. G. W. Robinson wao taken with a sudden and severe attack of grip last week, and his friends were considerably alarmed about him, but be is now in a fair way to get out toon, if taken with no backset. A member of the Junior Order of American Mechanics says that when that order presented flags for the school buildings one of the conditions, as agreed to by the School Board, was that the flags should be run up in tbe morning, taken down in the evening and otherwise given good care. Tbe wind continues to blow through the whiskers of the one on the Cottage Hill building. Blizzard. This is not the case with the flag presented to the Tionesta school board by the P. O. S. of A. It is regularly run up at tho calling of school, and lowered and properly cared for when school i3 dis missed. And while the flag is floating on the breezes the fond parent may content himself with the thought that his boy is poring over his books and rapidly growing in knowledge. Un less, perchance, the young rsp scallion has silently stolen away to the sucker fishing grounds. Tbe marriage of Mr. Chas. Walter and Miss Gertrude Gilfillan, at the home of the bride, at Nebraska, last Wednesday afternoon, was one of the pleasaot social events of the season for that busy littla village. Guests to the number of sixty or more were in attendance to witness the ceremony and participate in the festivities. The wedding took place precisely at 4:00 o'clock, after which all eat down to an elegant wedding dinner, and not until late in the evening did the jolly guests take leave of the happy bride and groom, leaving their best wishes, and very many beautiful and useful pres ents as souvenirs of tbe joyful occa sion. Mr. and Mrs. Walter departed yesterday for Chehalis, Washington, where tbey expect to make their future home, and where the kindest regards and best wishes of a large circle of friends, of which the Republican is ooe, go with them. There's nothing half so sweet in life as "love's young dream." Now about this there is some diversity of opinion. Some giving preference to a good article of tally, but there are few things any sweeter than ease after a racking pain and this is only gotten by using Salvation Oil. East Hickory. Derrick correspondence. Brown Bros, are down about 1,300 feet, with no show for oil or gas. At the depth of 900 feet the Queen sand, 30 feet in thickness. They will drill the well 1,800 feet. Herbert Stougbton was rolling logs from a pile near tbe river on last Monday, and was caught by two large logs, which rolled completely over him, injuring bim severely, but at present be is in a fair way to make an entire recovery. Prof. Reno, the magician, gave a very creditable performance in Whit ton's hall on Saturday night. John Metzger is home from Cobban), tbe mill crew being down sick with grip- T. J.

Davis, known all over Forest county, died at bis borne in Marienville, April 6th, 1891, of pa ralysis. Mr. Davis was born June 15, 1841, near Jamestown, N. Y. He came to Forest county at an early age, and went into the employment of 8. S. Holbrook, in Hickory twp. Soon after the opening of the war of the rebellion he went into the army and served nearly two years as Corporal of Co. F, 74th ReZ., N. Y. Vols., and served his country bravely in some of the most severely contested battles. He was known in the county as a hearty, good natured, companionable man, intelligent, ready to please, and an expert in running and managing sawmills. He was at times in the employ of Holbrook, Brace Brothers, Geo. S. Lacy & Co., and Curll, Camp bell & Co. He was married on June 12, 1864, to Miss Ellen Kady, who, with two daughters, Mrs. T. S. Mooney, and Miss Blanche, survive him and mourn his loss. February 1, 1890, ho went to Mississippi and took the management of tbe large saw mill of No rwood fe Butterfield. Ilis descrip tions of the training of his darkey crew, their shiftlessness, antics, ex cuses, etc., wero graphio and amusing. He returned home on Feb. Sd, 1331, was stricken with paralysis on March 16th, and died as stated. He was a member cf the American Mechanics, and G. A. R., both of which orders attended the funeral services in the Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, April 8. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity. The joint choirs of the Presbyterian and M. E. Church es furnished the solemn music, and Rev. Shawkey, of the M. E. Church, officiated. After the church services the body was accompanied to tbe Presbyterian Cemetery by a large number of friends, the services of tbe Mechanics and the G. A. R. were read, the guard fired a final salute, and all that was mortal of W. S. Davis was left in the "silent city of the dead." Peace to his ashes. Miniature Oil Field. Peter Gruber and Dr. C. J. Rey nolds; of Oil City, are now completing a unique piece of work, on which they have been engaged in their spare hours during the past year, and which will probably be one of tbe oil region's exhibits at the World's Fair. It is a miniature oil field about 6 by 12 feet in dimensions, complete in detail and operation in all its appli ances, which include four pumping wells with sucker rod and twin table attachments, by means of which they are all pumped at once; a drilling well on the side hill with the bluff so cut away as to show the various form ations aud tbe operation of the tools; a pump station with pipe lines and loading rack ; a railroad encircling the farm, half of the way through a tunnel; an oil train equipped wilh the tub cars of the past, the tank cars of the present and cars filled with oil barrels; a gas well and an unfinished derrick, on and around which rig builders are et work automatically. The oil and motivo power for operating these equipments are supplied from beneath them. On the farm are shown the home of the owner of tbe land, who has evi dently done well on his bonuses and royalty ; a railroad station from which tbe agent promptly emerges upon the arrival of the oil train ; a well-shooter halting with bis torpedo rig on a wagou road ; a gully down which flows a little stream supplied by a spring near the top of the hill, and beside it a counterpart of the Colonel Drake well, which will be readily reo ognized by any one who has seen the famous oil well or its photograph. Tbe reproduction in dotail is accurate and forms a uniquely clever exhibit. A Card of Thanks. The members of the G. A. R. re siding outside of the Borough of Tio nesta, desire to return their thanks to the directors and taxpayers of the town for so cheerfully opening their school-room for the benefit of our or ganization on the evening of April 6th, in order that we might fittingly, and agreeable to general orders, pub licly celebrate the quarto-centennial of the Grand Army of the Republic. Respectfully submitted in F, C. & L.

This is tbe striking title of Judge's Library, or Monthly Magazine of Fun, for April. It tells of the funny doings of other people's children.

KEWSf JiCTES. Judge Ilenry Souther, formerly or Erie, died suddenly on the 4th InBt. at Fredor Icksburg, Va., aged 61 years. lie held Im portant positions in tbeStato. About four years ago he removed to Fredorieksburg. He made a fortune in this State and was extensively engaged in business in Vir ginia. A bill which has passed first reading in the Sonate has a definite offect on leases or deeds for oil or other mineral rights in lands. It provides that where persons claim aueh rights by conveyance, lease, reservation or any other writing, and the right has beon exercised at any time and subsequently abandoned, or not worked, for a periodof 21 years, a release of the said conveyance, to., shall be presumed, and such writing shall be void, unless the claimant shall proceed to assert or exercise the same within one year from tho passage of this act. Now Is a good time to prune trees of all kinds. Prune for shape first, then prune forfcit; cut clean and leave no ragged stumps. Carry a sharp knil'o, a keen law, and a pot of thick brown paint. After every limb Is finished, touch with paint to keop out tho wator, prevent rot, and make the wounds look sightly. Every good limb must be savod. All limbs which cross another should be cut out. All crowding must bo remedied by thlu ning out. Make the whole tree look rath er thin, as tho summer's growth will rem edy all that. Trim off all suckers, wheth er on tho trunk, at the roots or on the main branches. Ex. The thin little wire loop in the glass bulb of tbe electric light is about tbe most cost ly thing about the lamp. That loop of wire passing through the glass stem in the base of the lamp, so fine that you pan hardly see it, Is made of platinum. Its present market price is t'20 per ounce, or about the same as gold. In a IB candle power lamp there are from 4 to 8 grains. If six grains be taken as the average, thore is an ounce iu 80 lamps. The cost of platinum for electric lamps this year is estimated at $2,000,000. That metal is used because it is the only metal In which the expansion and contraction aro the same as in glass, and a great fortune awaits the man who can produce a cheap metal or alloy in which this valuable property of platinum can be preserved. DAVE NICELY'S CONFESSION. When tho Nicely's, Dave aud Joe, were hanged, a great many people believed, or rather feared, that they might bo innocent of the murder for which they wero con victed, owing to the repeated and stren uous denials of the accused. Tho follow ing confession, made to Rev. C. V. Oran gor, Dave's spiritual adviser, was made public one week after tho hanging, in ac cordance with his request, and sets tho matter of their guilt at rest, and Is a relief to many who contemplated tho honor of hanging innocent men : Somerset Jail, 1 Somerset, Va., April 1, 1891. J I, David Nicely, make, concerning the murder of Herman Umborger, for which I am convicted and sentencod to be hung April 2, the following statement: I was present when Herman Umbergor was murdered. I loft my homo about 1 o'clock on February 27, 1889, to go to some place in Somersot county, for the purpose of robbery but not murder, and did not know who was to be robbed, not learning Umborgor's name until well along on the road. The murder took place about 7 o'clock in the evening. I arrived at home about I or 2 o'clock next morning. I had a pistol aud fired into the coiling, but not with tho attention of hitting Mr. Umbor ger, nor did any shot I fired hit him. I intended only to frighten him. As to my evidence in court part was true and part was not. My evldonce was not true in this i I said I was not preseut at Herman Umborgor's murder whoa I was. The pocketbook produced in court as mine waa not the one which I gave to Will Thomas, as I testified iu court. It was bogus. Hamilton Smith's testimony In the case against me was false in this: I was not in IJgonlor on February S7, 1389, as ho swore. Lew Beener and Ed. Mc Crarken did not meet me on the pike as stated in court. Charles Vaueer and Lew is Vaneor, his son, could not have recog nized me, as their testimony says they did, on the Pittsburg and Philadelphia pike, February 27, iaS9. I mako this statomont in view of approaching execu tion, in fear of Ood truthfully, to C. W. Granger, my spiritual adviser. D. C. Nicelt. l'UULIC YEJiDlE.
