His themo Is Southern prison life giving much of his personal experi ence, and those who attend may expect a good treat. A man named Ovid Swanson was brought over by Constable Kellogg last Thursday and lodged with Sheriff Walk er to await trial at the coming quarter sessions court. He is charged with "wontouly pointing fire arms with in tent to kill," the prosocutor being M. E. Graybill of Sheffield Junction. The dwelling house of R. E. Moore, on his farm on Hunter run, took lire on Wednesday afternoon last, but before they had gained much headway tho flames were extinguished by a liberal applica tion of water. The damage to furniture and building was slight, amounting to about 30, which will be adjusted through insurance agency of Aruer A Sou. An exchange correctly says that a newspaper may publish column alter column in laudatlou of a man or firm and they think it only a duty you owe to the public to commend them , but print one line that can be construed as a reflec tion, and they are on their high horse in a minute, and all the good things you have said count for naught, and yet a majority of people will claim that they like to see a paper fearless and outspoken Judge Albright, of Monroe county, decided last week that a woman testify ing in court need not divulge her age to gratify the whim of theopposiugcounsel.

The story of one of the most remark able rescues at sea ever roported was brought in by the American line steamer from Southampton, says a N. T. dispatch under date of 12th Inst. The St. Louis, which reached her pier at noon, had on board the 127 passengers and the crew . of 85 of the wrecked steamship Veendam, of the Holland-American lino. The Veen dam struck a submerged wreck hi mid ocean Fob. 6, which tore a big hole In her bottom and carried away her propoller shaft. Not a life was lost in the danger ous transfer of the passengers in mid ocean in small boats. Tho Veendam was sot on fire and sank before tho St. Louis was out of sight. Notono of the passen gers nor any of the crew of the Veendam saved anything except what they had on when they were hustled into the boats. The steeiago passengers were compelled to man the pumps In order to keep the Veendam afloat until the last soul had been taken off. What adds local interest to this remark able escape Is tho fact that Miss Mary E. A Dinger, a member of Hon. N.P. Wheel er's family of Endeavor, this county, was a passenger on the ill-fated vessel. The young lady was returning from a six- month's sojourn in Europe. She lost all hor personal effects and wearing apparel except that which she had on at tho time tho rescue took place. Miss Ailinger is exj eolod to reach home to-morrow. Pennsylvania is not generally classed as one of the great daiiying Statos, yet she has 1,100,000 cows, makes more than 90,000,000 pounds of butter and produces 410,000,000 gallons of milk. These cows are owned by more than 211,000 farmers' families, consisting of fully one-fifth of our entire population. Testimony was taken bofore 'Squire Randall of this place last Friday and Sat urday, as to the necessity for a public road up Hickory creek in Hickory township. A large number of witnesses was examined, and the matter will be submitted to tho court at its sitting a week from noxt Monday. The Pittsburg Westorn narrow gauge road is about to resume the run Into Clarion town, so It is said. Some time ago the road abandoned the branch which crossed the high trestle spanning the Clarion river because of the expense in repairing the bridge, but the threat ened boycott of tho merchants of the town in having their freight hauled from Bligo on the Low Grade road, ' has evi dently made the railroad peoplo see tho thing in a different light. C. E. Allen was considerably scalded last Saturday night while dumping leaches at the Extract Works, by the liquid in the leach next to the one in which he was working boiling over. He was saved from moro serious injury by a large heavy cap pulled down over his head and having on two heavy shiits, as he had just come in out of the ecld. As it was the scalds were severe and he will be off duty for somo time. Dr. Towler is caring for him. Mnrienville Ktpress. A meeting of the trustees of the Insti tute for the Feeble Minded of Pennsyl vania was held at Polk Woduesday. The superintendent reported that there were at present 437 inmates and that the num ber was increasing at an avnrago rale of one per day. The averago health ol tho pupils is excellent and the educational work is progressing in a satisfactory manner and during tho recent cold spell 1,000 tons of ice were harvested and placed in the ice houses from the artilic ial pond. Etta Rebekah Lodgo No. 107 was instituted at Marienville on the 9ih inst., with the following list of ofllcers; N. G., Mrs- Susan Ludwig; V. G., Mrs. Jennie Reyner; Fin. Sec'y, Mrs. Ida Miller; Ree. Sec'y, Miss Kathariue McClullan; Treas., Mrs. Delia Blanchard. The new lodge starts under very favorable aua pices, having a largo membership. Mrs T. F. Ritchey, District Deputy, was as. aisled in tho ceremonies of installation by a number of the Rebehahs from this place, who drove over in a four-horse sleigh. The ceremonies at the hall being over, a banquet was given at the Key stone Hotel in honor of the new lodge and guests. The spread was a royal ouo if we are to take tlio words of thoso who wore so fortunate as to be there.

The Dr. was elected chaplain of the Grand Coun cil for the ensuing yoar. Charles B. Hood, one of the best known residents of Utica, died Thurs day, after a brief Illness, of pneumonia.

The deceased was a brother of William and John Hood of this place, and had many friends among our older citizons. ' His brothers and Miss Kate and Wm. Hood, Jr., attended tho funeral, which took place on Satur day last. Seidell Whitman of the township, re ceived a letter from his son, Georgo, of Findlay, Ohio, in whicn he wrliw that a company capitalized at $250,000, of which he has been elected treasurer, has beon formed at that place, and in a few days a party will depart for the Klondike gold fields, fully equipped with their own steamer and all the necessary parapher nalia for a thorough campaign. George will accompany the party, and all his frionds in this section will hope to hear of his return with a ship load of the yel low stuff. The many Forest county friends of George II. Higgins will learn with pleas ure that he is prominently spoken of as a candidate for Congress in the Erie-Craw ford district, now represented by Mr. Sturtevant, but who has declined a re- nomination. Nothing would pleaso Mr. Higgins' friends more than to hear of his success in his Congressional aspirations. Should his people nomlnato him his elec tion would surely follow, and the district would have a representative in Congress who would immediately tuke rank among the able, energetic and tireless members of that distinguished bodv of statesmen. Dedication of Mt, Zlon Lutheran Clinrcli The dedication of the Mt. Zlon Luther an Church on German II1I1, which took place last Sunday, was, notwithstanding the muddy road, well attended. The soats were all well filled, over two hun dred being present. The dedicatory ser mon was delivered by Rev J. G. Trout man, of Greenville, Pa., whose discourse was full of interest and sound logic. There were also services again on Sun day and Monday evenings, by Rev. J.H. Iloimann of Oil City, which meetings wero also well attended. A member of the church writes as fol lows ; "Since our church has beon dedi cated it is our desire to thank the good peoplo of othor churches who have so liberally donated toward our new build ing ; they Laye done far more than was expected ; few indeed that were ap proached that did not respond, and all with a willing heart and hand. This is evidence of good faith that all are work ing for the same cause though slight dif ferences in forms, the essentials are the same. This is as it should be; all Chris tians should work in common good. The writer would hail to see the day when all the world would worship as one univer sal brotherhood. What wo as members of this congregation have done it does not behove for us to say. Whatever there has been done, it has only been ourduty. But all Is not done with the finishing of the building; a more noble work is yet to be done; a work that let us hope will never be tlreaome.that it will always be a work that will benefit each and all alike."
