It Dr. Swallow, candidate for State Treasurer on the Prohibition tecket. will be In Tionesta on noxt Saturday morning for one hour. He will deliver an ad- ress at Lanson's cornor at 8:45 a. m on that day. Wm. Sllzol of Nebraska had the two first fingers of his right hand badly lac erated on the saw of the shinglo mill of .ollins A Kreitler last Friday. Dr. Bow man made -the necessary repairs and thinks tho fingers can be saved from ani mation. A killing frost is reported on the hills back from the rivor yesterday morning. About the only damage done, however, is to tho corn-fodder, which should have had at least another week of warm weather to put it out of harm's way. The buckwheat crop will not be materially injured by the freeze. Stakes have been set at proper inter vals between Marienville and Tionesta, via Tylersburg and Nebraska, to indi cate tho places for setting the poles for the new telephone lino.

Every ix mouths the names of the poisons who take out the licenses arc published in the local papers so thai the public may know who are not authorized to drink. A law of this kind would lmvo the merit of be- inu a revenue raiser also. Reports of house-breaking are rife again. Manager Ryan believes that Bomo one was in his cellar last Saturday night but failed to get up stairs. W. J. Grandin, Jr., was arroused by his bur glar alarm sounding. A kitchen window was found open and ho reports getting shot at some one, without result. We hoar of one or two other reports, but failed to vorlfy them.

Matthew Elliot of Newtown Mills mot with an accident last Wednesday which will lay him up forBevoral weeks, In falling a tree near the publio road tho tree struck a telegraph polo and knocked it down. In falling tho pole struck Mr, Elliott on tho left arm with such force as to fracture ouo of the bones belweeu the wrist aud elbow. Dr. Detar of Kellett villo reduced tho fracture, and Mr. E.

Edward Brewster died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Jacob Miller, at Tylers burg, on Sunday morning last, from the ellects of a doso of poison taken, it is be lieved, with suicidal intent. Whou Mrs, Miller arose in the morning about six o'clock sho heard unusual sounds com ing from the room occupied 03" ber brother. Entorlng tho room she found him struggling in the throos of death. A physician was suuimonod, but life was too nearly extinct and tho man soon ex pired. It is stated that he loft a note, but itsimtonts had not been divulged at last accounts. Mrs. Brewster, wife of the deceased, and a son, reside at Kellettvillo, this county. The road between Tionosta and Hick ory, for many years a terror to travelers is now about as lino a driveway as you will encounter in any country. The "narrows" are again open to the traveling public, and although by no means as com plete as tho road commissioners of Hick ory intend to make them, aro so much Improved as to bo scarcely recognized by their oldest acquaintance. There is no place now where loadod teams may not pass each other wlih comparative ease, and when onee smoothed down the road will be an excellent oue,capable of being drivon over at all times with perfect safe ty. So tho distance between Tionosta and Hickory, once a dozen miles or more, counting the bad reads, will be shortened to scarcely more than six by the im proved condition of things. The attendance at the Warren fair lat Thursday was very largo, being esti mated at nearly or quite four thousand persons, all of whom seemed to enjoy themselves in the sights to be soon. The main attraction was the display of live stock from Col. Carter's Riverside Stock farm, at West Hickory, this county. J. Paul, tho elliciout manager of this magnificent farm was iu charge of the display, and took prido in showing thoso around who were interested in the splon did display. He hail forty-one head cattle anil horses on exhibition, and almost everv instance Inst prizes wer awarded to this stock in t lie coiupotiliv cxainiiiat ions, and it might be said that he "swept the hoard." Such stock issel doui seen at any fair, Stato or County, and thu Warren association may, and we believe does, congratulate itself ou its good fortune iu securing these prize beauties lor its fair. Mr. Paul has taken tlie stock to tho Stoneboro lair this week, uiul u doubt not will lug home about all the prizes that are ollered.

May, which occurred last Wednesday, Sept. 15, 1 85)7, removed from Tionesta one of its oldest and most highly respected resi dents.. It would be difficult lo find in any community one who had so com pletely won the love and admiration of all, many of whom, on account of hor long invalidism, had never seen hor, but learned to know hor through others and the nftny deeds of kindness and benevo lence that was so characteristic of hoi life. Although for almost seventeon years she was seldom ablo to leave the house, and then only when assisted, sho never lost hor Interest in the busy outside world, nor dnl the people forget thnt she still lived as really among them as In thodays of her active life. Blessed with a mind of more than ordinary power and a spirit that never grew old nor out of sympathy with human life, sho kept Informed of all that was going on In the world about her, and manifested a deep lot rest in it. Mrs. May (whose maiden namo was Thatcher) was born April 23, 182S. In 1H41 she was united In marringo to Mr. II. Huntington May, and aftor living a while at Oldtown and Muck Mills, this county, enme in 18.12 to Tionesta, where she resldod during the remainder of her life. When the Presbyterian cliurch was organized In this place in 18."S, she was one of the charter members In which her step-father, Mr. Hamilton Stow, was an elder. To her energy and generous gifts, both of time and means, is due in a large measure the life and activity of the church, especially during the earlier years of its existence. She was untiring in her efforts to build it up and thus ad vnnco tho Kingdom of Christ in this place. Sho loved the House of God and enjoyed the privilege of Its service. In later years, on account of her Illness, she was rarely permitted to attend. The last service she attended was July 12, 18tl, at which communion sorvice several young people were received into tho church, among whom were two nephews of hers. To the joy and privilege of this day she frequently roforred afterward. As a christian she was consistent in the fullest sense of the word her life accord ed with her profession. The Bible was God's message to her and prayer a de light. Nor did she keep her light hid but liko her Master she went about doing good. Surely she has entered into the reward of the promise "Blessed is he that considcieth the poor." She lived as always hnving before her the Savior's words, "In as much as ye did it unto the least of these, my brethren, yo did It unto mo." Her life abounded in good works and there are many who could testify to her thoughtful care and aid as saving them from snfl'oring, or the neces sity of applying to publio charity. Her door was never shut in tho face of the hungry, suffering or destitute. Her heart was in the work of the church and in every movement for moral and social reform. One of her last irifts was to the Sabbath Observance Society, While she was not able to take her place iu active work she "did what she could" by giving of her means and hor prayers. During her long sickness from rheu matism and heart trouble the suffering nt times was intense, but she bore it with that Christlike spirit of submission that impressed all with the closeness of her walk with God. The severe pains that racked her body loll no permanent iin pressiou on l.er lace. Her countenance was always calm and peaceful, revealing the soul within at rest with God. She al ways had a smile tor everyone anil was never hoard to muriner nor complain She was the last but one of hor genera. lion in tills pluce. Mr. Benjamin May, now in his ninety-first 3'car, s'ill remains Sho leaves four daughters, aud two sons, all of whom followed her remain- to the last resting place, viz : Mrs. J. B. Leg nurd of Waukoegan, 111., Mrs. II. S, Bates of Titusvillo, Mrs. A. B. Kelly and Mrs. Suie M. Sharp of Tionosta, Mr. Win II. May ol Louisville, Ky., and Mr. Bonj. W. May of Chicago.

It eon. tained a field-glass which had been lent the gentlemen, hy Mr. F. M. Arnold, of this place, a revolver and gold watch. Oftou things of little moment prove of great value. When Mr. Shott placed tho satchol by the side of Mr. Lccner he lit tie thought Its contents would be tho means of identification, yet it was. Mr. Shott Instructed the undertaker, who had arrived to tako charge of the remains of tho dead, tliBt along side of Mr. Leep er's body would bo found the revolver, watch and field-glass. This proved to be the case and was the means of restoring the body to the sorrow ing relatives and the contents of the satchel were sent to Clarion with the corpse. "The smoking car tMosoop,.d the day coach following and the rear tru-ks of the smoker passed over Mr. Leeper's body, causing instant death.
