Mrs. Mary Walters, wife of David Walters, deceased, died at her homo near Nowmansvillo, Clarion county, Friday Docembor 4, 1890, aged 88 years, 7 months and 24 days. The deceased was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., April 10, 1808. and was married ' Dec. 20, 1827. Three years later she camo with hor hus. band to tho place she over afterward made her home. At the time of their coming the country was all a wilderness, with scarcely a path through it. Tylers. burg was the last settlement on their ourney north. Here Mrs. Walters stayed with her children, while her husband and others cut a road through tho woods to the property ho had bought. A log cabin was soon put up and then began the work of cleariug a farm and getting it ready to cultivate. During these oarly years of hard labor and enduring priva tions of all kinds she showed her strength of character in doing the part that fell to her lot without a complaint. She was al ways cheerful and happy aud by her kindly manner and sympathy was a help to all who camo in contact with her. It Is almost impossible to appreciate the sacrifices this couple made in leaving their home and friends and the privileges of pleasant, Bocial and church relations, to come into a wild country to live, for many years almost cut oil from human society, that they might secure, a home for themselves and their family. Her lifo was full of kindness and charity. She was the friond of all in distress and was known for hor readiness to help those in need. After her husband's death, July 17, 1875, she remained at tho homestead and could not be persuaded to leave it for tho greater comforts she might have en Joyed, preferring as she said to live iu the old homo. She was the mother of eleven children, four oi whom aro still living : James, of Newmansville; Daniel of Tio nesta, and Henry and Josephine, who have remained at home to care lor thoir mother in her old age. There are also living twenty-five grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. At 10 years of age Mrs. Waltors was received into tho communion of tho Presbyterian church, of which she has ever since continued a faithfyl and consistent member. Al though of lato years deprived of altond- Inir the church of her choice she did not neglect the means of grace afforded her, and was especially lond of her -Bible. It was, her constant coinpauiou and she found it growing more precious with her declining years. One of tho lost times she took sacrament of the Lord's Supper, was at the home of her sou Daniel, a tit tlo more than a year ago, which was ad ministered by tho pastor and session of the Presbyterian church of this place. Her mind was clear and active up to the last, and her faith iu God was sublime, she never waverod for a moment, but could say: "I know whom I have be lieved." Her death was due to n lull re ceived a low months ago. Tho f uneral services wore held in the Lutheran church on Sabbath last and was conduct ed by Revs. Glass and Bowman. Kind frionds covered the casket with flowers as a token of love and esteem for one whose lii'o has boon so full of christian love and sweetness. Tho remarks, which were very appropriate, were rendered more impressive by the sweet songs ol faith, peace and resignation rendered by the choir. She w as laid to rest iu the Lutheran church yard by tho side of her husband to await the Master's call on tho Resurrection morn. Xoliic. At a meeting of tho Tionesta Gas Co, hold Dec. 8, 1890, tho following resolution was adopted, viz.: "The schedule of rates of gas, to con sumers, of Jan. 1, 1SU3, shall be re-estab lished, to tako ellect Jan. 1, 1897."

Joseph Sehapiro, well known to a large number of Forest county peoplo, ho hav ing followed tho occupation of peddler and junk buyer in this section for many years, died suddenly at the homeof John McDonald, Beaver Valley, Hickory township, on Thursday of last week. About noon of that day Mr. Sehapiro caino to Mr. McDonald's house and it was noticed that he was ill.

The burial was in B'nai Zion cemetery. Ho was aged about sixty years, and was well liked by all who knew him. School Ueports. WASHINGTON SCHOOL. No. enrolled: Malos 14, females 8 ; to- tol 22.

A correspondent of the Brookville Democrat gives some interesting figures on tho supply of hemlock lumber still to be manufactured in Elk county. ' Ho es timates the amount yet to bo cut at 1,530,- 000,000 feet. At the present rate of con- aumption this supply will last about ten years, aud as the greater part of the tim ber lands are owned by the parties now operating in the county, there is not likely to bo any new enterprises of any consequnce established. Haul & Kaul alone control 800,000,000 of the 'available timber. It is also estimated that the amount of hemlock lumber standing in that county before the work of wholesale destruction began was no less than four thousand million feet. Since that time about two hundred million feet have been wasted in clearing land and in cutting for bark. In closing, the writer adds: "Successful as tills business has been in furnishing employment to men, and freight to railroad companies, apart from this there are at least two extremely sad circumstances connected with its past history. The first is In having cut away so much of this natural wealth in so short a time, and the other, still sadder, iu fact, is that so much of all this vast volume of business has been done to al most no purpose, other than to render tho ouco magnificent forests into desolate aud dreary waste. A few have been suc cessful, and aro using their means in de veloping tho various other industries of this locality. The many have nothing to show but tho desolation thoy have mailo. In this samo connection we may briefly view the situation in some of the adjoin ing counties, which is incomparably worse than our own." Wauled to Trade Wives. Two Hungarian men and a woman called at Squiro Wilson's office the other day to settle a domestic difficulty. It ap pears that the woman was in love with the man who was not her husband, and wanted to live with him. Tho husband who was much older solemnly objected. Ho said to the 'Squire: 'Deosa mini want my wife. Mo no like. Ilo bad man. Ho love my wife. Mo good man. Mo go church. Me do nothing bad." The woman expressed her preference for the mau who was not her husband. Tho gay Lothario said: "Dessa woman love me. Sho no like dcs&a man. Ho too old. Myn iletoo old. ' Sho fomo over here purty soon. Mo give hueiii my wile. Me tako doesa woman. But the old gentleman objected. 'Squire Wilson informed them that there was nothing in the law or Constitu tion that enabled him to legalize a swap of that kind that the only way was lor both to niilaiii divorces and then remarry. Ho told them to go homo and bo good, and not permit Iheir minds to be per plexed by such worldly thoughts. Ami they departed thence, evidently under tho impression that thoie was something seriously wrong with a law that tyrauized over the empire of the lm until heart. J'unx'y .Spirit.

In referring to my "time book" I find Mr. Rudolph commenced work at the Newtown Mills on the 30th day of May, 1S04, and continued to work for me until the 9th of January, 1808, when I finished my work there. When I read of tho sad accident that resulted in the death of my old and high ly esteemed friend, Mr. Lewis Arner, my heart went out in sympathy for the fami ly, so suddonly bereft of a loving father. The last notice that I saw of Mr. Arner was that he was in Florida with a daugh ter, since which time I have not heard of him, and have' wondered, as I have thought of him frequently, where he was and what ho was doing. I was privileged with enjoying the society of his family while they resided at Minister, and when he took a lease on the Blood farm, I went in with him, and we put down a well, and I wish to say that in all our dealings the most friendly feeling always existed between us, and I found in Mr. Arnor an honorable friend. His daughters that were girls in those days, but who are now married, will remember me no doubt. I wish to extend my slneerest sympathy to them, in this tln lr sad af fliction. While they have lost a father, I have lost a friend ; one whom I esteem ed. Mr. Editor, I congratulate you on the splendid run you made In the late cam paign, and feel like giving three cheers for tho old Koystone state. Michigan, a doubtful state, did not do very badly. I am Hearing my 81st birthday, and am glad that I had the privilege of voting a good straight Republican ballot for Mc Kinley and Hobart. Dec 1st was the 50th anniversary of our wedding, and we are enjoying com fortable health, and enjoying lifo as best we can. I congratulate Mr. May and Mr. Stroup In the enjoyment they got at their timo of life. I would lie glad to meet the friends that are still living at Tionesta, but I think that may never be my prlv ilego. I am always glad to hear of them through the Republican. Thanking the editor for his continued favors, I ten der my respects to all my friends at Tio nosta. Yours truly, J. C Percival. Palo, Iona Co., Mich., Dec. 3, 'i6. Between Onr.-elves. Silence goes a goou with some folks: if a fool keens still lonir e.i.'1" he may lie takaif lor a wise man. There is more danger in being deceived by those whom we love than those whom we distrust. Ho is truly generous who bestows I favor as if it were a favor to bestow it. He. who has to obey nobody is the mi happy protii .ate whom evorybody will own at last. There are people who havo so many kinds of temper that if you scratch at one the rest will go off like a box of parlor matches. Although a vain woman may parade in all kinds of fea1 hers, the moths will get into their wings sooner or later. Liars , should cary memoranda pages inside their coat sleeves. Every brave man is humane; no but a coward is cruol. Mako poace with an enemy if you have no firearms. JV. Y. Recorder, TEKTI.IIO.NIAI.M.
