Dotterer of Koss Run has the contract of ruuuiug them to Pittsburg. While at play on the ball ground Monday, Archie, son of Geo. Hole- man, fractured n bone in one of his ankles. The injury is not only very painful but will be tedious in healing. There was quite a sharp frost on the hills back from the river on Sun day night, but we hear of no material damage done to crops of any kind. Monday night was frosty but not as severe as tbe previous night, and no injury was sustained worth mention ing. County Superintendent Stitzin- ger publishes his list of dates and places for holding the annual teach ers' examinations in this issue. Ap plicants for certificates should take note and govern themselves accord ingly. Mr. S. intends rotaining his residence at Nebraska for the pres ent. Cha8. Corb cf the township had the misfortune to give his right foot a bad slash with a broad-axe, while hewing ties last Friday, cutting a gash over three inches long across the top of the foot. Dr. Bowman made the necessary, surgical repairs, and Charles, though likely to be laid up for a few weeks, will got along all right. Mr. G. W. Robinson is at Cham bersburg this week attending, as the delegate of Stow Post, the Slate eu campmeul of the Grand Array of the Republic. Mr. Robinson has the en dorsement of a large number of the Posts in this section in his caudidacy for delegate to the National encamp, mcnt to St. Paul this year, and there is little doubt but that he will be successful. Amsler is doing a fine business in iirawoerries tnese oaye, getting a fresh supply every day, and of the finest quality the market affords.

All other fruits and vege tables, fresh and abuudant at bis store. It Charles Klinestiver, sawyer on the band mill of the Watson Lands Lumber Co., at Mayburg, was in town Monday for a short time. He re ports business rather active at that place, tbe mill turning out about 35, 000 feet of pine daily, which is shipped by rail direct from that sta tion to market. Tbe company sends out a great deal of long stuff which is transported to Nebraska aud goes into tbe manufacture of barges. The copious rains at the head waters of the Allegbeuy raised tbe river to a very comfortable stage dur ing the past week, allowing a large number of boats and barges from tbe Nebraska yards to get out aud start for the lower markets last Saturday and Monday of this week. A num ber were also started from Robinson & Gaston's and Lawrence & Smear baugh's landing. About all these cralt were well loaded witb lumber. Mary, tbe 5-year-old daughter of W. S. Sutley, had her right knee bad ly cut by corning in cootact with tbe sharp blade of an ax while her bro ther was cutting wood last Friday eveuing. Neither of tbe children can explaiu just bow the accident happened. A gash about 2i iucbes long and quite deep was cut just be low the cap of the knee, making a bad wound. Drs. Morrow were called and rendered the necessary surgical relief, and they believe the child will not neceesaaily be crippled by the injury. John Wilson, who lives just across the line in Venango county, near Stewarts Run, met with a pain ful accident yesterday afternoon, while uuloading ties from a wagon at tbe railroad station at this place. Three ties rolled off tho wagon and caught his right foot, crushing tbe aukle bones badly. He was brought to Dr. Morrow's office where tho frac ture was reduced, leaving him as comfortable as possible under the circumstances, but "roni the nature of tbe injury it may be a long time before he is able to bear bis weight on that foot. Mr. Wilson earns his living by bard work, and this injury will thus be doubly severe on bim. Delia MetcaU, wile of F. E. Met calf, died at her home at Stewarts Run, Pa., Friday, May 29, 1890, aged 31 years. Her sickness was of short duration, nnly a fortnight pre vious enjoying good health. Mrs. Metcalf was a woiunu of exemplary character, and though uot a church member duriug the past few years of ber life, we - believe she sought and found the Lord on ber sick bed, as she was heard to praise the Lord very many times. She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, four small children, father nml mother and four brothers, besides a large cir cle of friends Htie will be sadly missed in the tnnie where are left so many tokens ot her deft and busy bands, which are now at rest. Fuue ral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Bullock, and her remains laid to rest iu the Weslcyau cemetery, on Saturday last. The steady decline in the market price of crude oil is not a pleasant feature for producers. Several ren- sons for the slump are assigned. One of these is, the pipe linn receipts have for some time exceeded the de liveries by an average of over 10,000 barrels a day. Another matter that operates to depress prices is the claim that an extensive oil-bearing area is being opened in Tennessee, where the territory is shallow and drilling far cheaper than in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The lower prices may soon stimulate consumption and curtail production, but at present the situation does not promise better prices. Franklin Kexvs. The Derrick of last Wednesday thus speaks of the Morgan-Gayeltv wedding, the groom being a former Tionesta boy : "A beautiful home wedding took place at the home of Captaiu J. M. Gayetty, of Hone avenue, at 8 o'clock, Tuesday night, when his only daughter, Miss Maude I. Gayetty, aud Charles C. Morgan, a popular young priuter, were united in mar riage. Tbe ceremony was performed by Rev. W. E. McBride, pastor of the United Presbyterian church, aud ViRS witnessed" by abotit- o" of .the most intimate friends and relatives of the young couple. A. W. Richards, of Tionesta, acted as best man and Miiis Minnie 8. Lowrifl acted as bridesmaid. The bouse was beauti fully decorated, the walls and ceil ings of tho parlor where the wedding took place being almost covered with festoons of flowers. After receiving tho congratulations of friends, tbe bride and groom were escorted to the dining room where an elegant wed ding supper was served. At about 10 o'clock, Mr. and Mi's. Morgan, accompanied by a large number of their guests, rode to their new home on West Third street, where they held a sort of informal reception un til midnight. The bride is one of the best young ladies of tho city and has been a resident of the town all her life. The groom is a young man, of steady habits, ami is the proprietor of a flourishing printing establish ment of his own. Both are well known and popular and have tbe bearty congratulations and sincere well wishes of hosts of friends." Court Minutes.

It is rumored that Andrew Carnegie intends to purchase the old iron works at Brady's Bond, Armstrong county, and put the same in operation. The man who goes Ashing and sits in a cramped position on a narrow thwart from early morn 'till dowy eve and calls it fun is the same chap that never goes to church because the pews ain't comforta ble. A sound philosopher ouce said: "Ue that thinks innocent pastime foolish has eithor to grow wise, or is past the ability to do so; and I have always counted it au impudent fiction that playfulness is inconsistent with gratness. Many men and women have died of dignity." An uproar was created at the funeral of George Brougher of Tfork by his son-in-law, Oscar Blaszer. The latter insisted that he could not, be happy until he had shot a few bullets into the corps. Quiet remonstrances were of no avail, and when Blaszer brandished his weapon and declared he would shoot the dead man, tho excitement among the people present becume Intense Ever since Blaszer first paid attention to llroiighor's daughter there had been ill-feoling be tween tho two men. Friday of lat woek John Adams, of near Greendale, shot his son-in-law, Peter Cravener, in the leg. A warrant has been sworn out and Mr. Adams is now in juil awaiting trial at the coming torm of court. It appears that Cravoner aud his wile had had somo difliculty and the latter had loft him and went toalier father's. Cravener went to Adams' and asked for his wifo, aud she not being there began to abuse old man Admits, who in order to protect himself, shot his son-in-law, but claims that he took care not to wound him in any of tho vital parts. Cravener is laying at his father-in-law's house, aud it is not thought that his injuries will prove fatal. Kittanniiig Press. Teachers' Examinations.

Kin.lNuKit, Co. Supt. MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES. Memorial day was never moro annro- prinlely nor beautifully honored in Tio nesta ll. an on hist Saturday. In tho morning a goodly number of tho com rades of Wow Post drovn to tho two cem eteries on Oermim Hill to pay tho tribute of lovo to deceased comrade there bur ied, holding a short servlco at Mt. Zion church-yard, where they were addressed brietly by Amos K Ledebur, and return ing at noon In timo to partake of the ele gant lunch provided by tho ladies of the Holief Corps. At 1:15 the line was form ed at Post headquarters, and, headod by the Sabbath School children and the sil vor comet band, marched to tho ceme tery, followed by a larije concourse of citizens. Tho coremony of docoratinir the graves was performed in accordance with the bcautilul ritual of the O. A. H., when all Immediately reimlred tn tlm court house whore tho afternoon program was to be carried out. Tho lariro court room was never so packed on a previous occasion, yet all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the exorcises. The program as published last week was carried out to tho letter occupying nearly two hoiirH. After selections of music by tho band and Prof. Henry's choir had hnnn en joyed, the new G. A. H. piece entitled. "Columbia" was beautifully rendered by 12 boys and 12 girls, Mii-s Iva Holeman taking tho part of Columbia. This was one of the charming features of tho ocea- "hmirairy teseived very liberal applause credit is duo Miss' ftotnieen Joyce lor tho careful training of these'iiftie - i!lt2. Mr. I. E. Dean, orator of the day, was then Introduced and held the large aud ience for nearly half an hour in the do livery of a very patriotic address, paying many glowing tributes to tho. bravery, valor and heroism of America's soldiers and loyal women during the dark days of the rebellion. After moro music by band and choir, Hev. Henry Rhode' pro nounced the benediction, and the au dience was dismissed. A number of the Hickory bandboys were called into re quisition on this occasion, and by con solidating with Tionesta's playors made up a band that rendered some as nice music as our people would care to listen to. Everything passed off decently and in ordor, and despite the shower of rain Memorial day in Tionesta proved a de cided success. The town was never more beautifully bedeckad with the embloms of patriotism than on this occasion. . RKSOLUTlON OF THANKS. At the close of the ceremonies on Me morial day the following resolution was passed by Stow Post, 274, U. A. It.: Ttesolved, That the thanks of the Post, and voterans assembled, bo tendered to the Woman's Kelief Corps for their ex cellent lunch, and efforts rendered in making the proper observance of the day a success ; also to the cornet band 6i Tionesta, and Prof. Henry and his choir of singers, for the good inusic rendered on the occasion ; to I.

Dean, orator of the day, for his excellent patriotic ad dress; to Miss Kathleen Joyce, for the tasteful and beautiful rendition of the new Memorial piece, "Columbia aud Her Children," to the Sunday Schools ; to the patriotic people who participated with us, and aided us in properlycomruoniorating the day. This resolution ordered to be published lu the Rm-uiiucAK and Vindicator. By Ohdjsk of thk Commander. CKItKMONIES ON WniO HILL. The morning of May 30th dawned amid the falling of gentle rain, but Boon the clouds broke asunder and permitted the beautiful rays of the suu to cheor tho heart as we urgod our loaded vehicles towards tho place of attraction and com memorative service, Whig Hill. On reaching tho beautiful grove in which stands the M. E. church we fouud others alroady there. Soon the grove became a moving mass of patriotic humanity, many dressed in a manner indicating their somber heart pangs of sad rocollec tious. Others, and by far tho majority, were gaily robed in white, the emblem of purity, and crowned with tho beautiful roses of early spring, whilo up from the very heart of the old soldier went the si lent yet visi bio adoration and thanks to Almighty God, for the real earnest patri otic dovotion to our flag and free institu tions as manifested in those who erelong will be called upon to take our places in the important events that go to make up American history. After forming for the march to the cemetery wo took position on the road sido for the purpose of counting them as thoy passsd by. First came tho post hand in now uniform, then the various Sunday Schools with their olllcors and teachers as filo-closers ; next came Eli Borlin Post, thon the K. O. T. M. of Hickory in uniform, followed by a long lino of ladies and citizons, keeping step to the strains of martial niusio. Two hundred and seventy-one passed lu lino of march, whilo perhaps one-half were not in liiio and were not enumerated by us. We have beheld many thousands maneuvering upon one great Held, their bayonets brightly gleaming in the sun light, yet to us that sight was not so grand as the one now passing before us on tho mission of lovo. Tho program at the Cemetery was carried out as usual upon the part of tho G. A. K., and in ad dition llio service "Columbia'' wits beau tifully anil perfectly executed in honor of our unknown dead by twelve little boys and twelve little girls. Why those tears, my comrades ? Ah yes, the terrible rour of cannon, the bursting of shell, tho crashing of luusketiy, all mingling to gether failed to touch the heart as did the sweet young voices of those little heroes as they paid honor to our unknown dead. Hack to the grovo we solemnly wend our wuy where iu a few moments a sumptuous tablo is spread by tho ladies. Some of tho old boys tried to inako themselves useful by showing their abil ity iu properly arranging mutters, but wo believe tho ladies will, if not too modest, Hgreo with us in saying they were poor help, only iu tho wuy, at best. The supplies for tho inner man were im mense, Willi a plenty to spare. Alter dinner the uwmihly was sounded and the people became scaled. Alter all ad dress by 'ommaiidor Morvin, Comrade Uev. J. A. Hume of l'leasuutvillo was announced lor the annual address of the occasion. Comrade 11 nine alter paving tribute ot praise to our kind, not only of to-day but referiug also to one year ago ut Mead illc, on the occasion of the re union of tho Northwestern Association, passed on to subject of American patri olihio exhibited from Lexington to Ap pomattox. This address was cloijiicnt from beginning to end. Kev. J. K. 1 1 1 1 -lard was the next speak-r. Mr. Millard is too well and lavoi ably known among us all, hence wo need not pass our mind on him as a public speaker. Just In the midst of his thrilling address tho ele ments let loose In a shower of rain, ami wo were compelled to flee for shelter which fortunately was near at hand. Ell Berlin Post feels as though Rov. Hil lard was one of ohr reliablo friends and worthy of our fraternal greetings and re spect on account of his ability and pa Iriotic dovotion and love for tho causo of right. Our band fully maintained its good reputations as on former occasions, and whilo it deserves praiso, yet It needs nono; its ability is acknowledged by all among whom it appears. Whig Hill may well bo proud of those young ladios who added so much to tho real enjoy ment of the sad memorios of tho past by their singing The selections wero new appropriate anil perfectly rendered by them.
