Congressman W. C. A mold writes
tlio Rki'UIii.ii an that he called on Mr.
Gary, tho Postmaster General, a few days

that all postmasters would be permitted

for cause, and that he was informed by
him that such a policy hail been definitely
determined upon by the present a '.minis
tration, so applicants for postollices in
this locality may know what is to bo ex
pected. One of tlio non-partisan tradereviews
says : "Tho volume of general business,
while still much below that of prosper
ous years, is increasing Iroin week to
week. The weekly gain is small, it is
true, ami expressions of disappointment
from business people aro frequently
heard ; yet there aro more men at work
and more mills and factories in opci ation
than at any time since last spring. There
was a larger distribution of general mer
chandise last week than in previous
weeks, and taken as a w hole ihcsituation
is encou raging."

Denth of Ira Church-
Ira Church was bnrn in Genesee coun
ty, Now York , March 81st, 1817. Three
years later, in 1820, with his rater's fam
ily, ho came to what Is now known as
Harmony Twp., Forest Co., Pa., whoro
ho grew to manhood. On February 7th,
IH3H, he was united In marriage to Phlle
na Barnes, who preceded him to tlio
Glory World, June 7th, 1H04. On July
27th, 1805, he was again united in mar
riago to Matilda, daughter of Samuel
Dempsey, deceased, who lining depressed
with age and physical Infirmities, is now
loft to mourn tho loss of a kind and lov
ing husband.
Besides tho three children buried in
theif youth there Is to-day left to mourn
tho loss of a good, kind and afl'ectionafe
father, tho following, viz : Charlotte, wife
of J. II. Weiitworth, of Tionesta Twp j
Mary E., wife of Jacob Shaffer, of Kcl
lettvillo, Pa.; Laura M., widow of J. S.
Rango, deceased, of East Hickory! L. II.
Church of East Hickory; Sarah E., wife
of W. J. Foreman, of East Hickory;
James M., of Church Hill; Lucetta A.,
wife of J. Hall, of Fleming Hill; John
C, of East Hickory, and Samuel C. of
the homestead. In addition to the above
children, thcro are left behind 23 grand
children and 11 great-grandchildren.
Two brothers still survivo, viz.: C. H.
Church Esq., of East Hickory, and Win.
Church, residing in the state of Iowa.
With tho exception of a very fow years
his long and useliil life was spent near
the place ho died. Around his remains
are assembled those who as citizens hav-j
learned to love and respect him for more
than forty years of his useful life, they
too "weep with those who weep." After
sull'uring for more than four months, his
sufferings wore ceased by the hand of
death, a few moments past 5 p. m., March
24, 18!l", his age being 70 years, 11 months
and 21 days.
"Uncle Ira," so called by friends far
and near, was a worthy example of true
Americanism, was among the first set
tlers on Church Hill. He was converted
to God at the ago of sixteen years and at
once became a useful member in the M.
E. Church. Unlike many others he re
mained faithful until death. The fixed
purposes in lifo wore such as endeared
him to all with whom he came in contact,
tho lessons he learned in the school of
Christ reflected forth the purity of the
soul as well as tho harmony existing bo
twicn him and a merciful God. He was
possessi d with a wonderful power in
prayer, many of those seasons of earnest
supplications still ringing in the ears of
his neighbors. Physically he was a
strong and very active man during the
greater part of his life. Being a hard
Working man, the accumulations of the
world's goods were gathered by him in
tlio hVlds of honesty. What more could
be said of any man. During his last ill
ness amidst tho severe suUering of body
ho often expressed a desire to depart and
