ing. County Superintendent Stitzin-
ger publishes his list of dates and

ingly. Mr. S. intends rotaining his

ent. Cha8. Corb cf the township had
the misfortune to give his right foot
a bad slash with a broad-axe, while

right.

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."

NEWSY NOTES.
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

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.:

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
