J. B. AGSEW DEAD. aa Fxplres After An Illness dl Oolj One I Day Appoulexy the Cause of Death. Notwithstanding the fact that at some timo in the near future, the tall of the uirtain on the tragedy of life is considered final in every sense and the thought of avoiding death is looked upon as an idle dream by even those in good health, yet the attitude of the human family towards this one great enemy is such that when the Grim Reaper snatches a loved one from tho household, or the community, no one is prepored for the shock. We are so unable to foretell the events of the futureeven for a day, that we are sel dom able to answer the question correct ly, "who will be taken next?" When this question was propounded but little over a week ago, when death last visited our midst, our thoughts little centored on some one, at that itme, in the best of health, and this is why our com munity was so severely shocked yester day morning when it was announced that Hon. J. B. Agnew was taken sud denly from among us, and that Tionesta was again deprived of one of Its beat clti zens. Being but twenty-tour nours un der the care of a physscian, to many his death was the first announcement of his illness, From the history of Forest county, we learn that Joshua B. Agnew was born in Clarion county, Pa., May 24, 1840. His father, John Agnew, came of that sturdy Scotch-Irish family of Agnews, well known In this State, aud was born in Centre (now Blair) oouuty. in 1800. His mother, Ellen Bailey, was born in Lan caster county, and was a decandent of the early settlers of that section of the state, and from Holland. John Agnew was well known to te early settlers of North western Pennsylvania. When a young man be came to Clarion county, was mar ried there, and engaged in various bust ness enterprises of that day. He was one of the barly pioneers in the first settle ment and developeinent of the eastern part of Forest county, which was then at most an unbroken wilderness. His fam ily consisted of nine sins and three daughters. J. B. Agnew being the fourth son, and no doubt inheriting the enter prising spirit of bis father, at the early age of fourteen years commenced to make his own way in the world, and to provide for himself and render such as sistance to his parents as he oould. He had commenced to lav the foundation of his education at the old Agnew school house, erected throuirh the effofts of his father about one mile from his home, There ho improved such opportunities as he had up to the time of leaving home at the ago of fourteen years, which, with sovoral months ol schooling afterward providod for by himself at public school, and his own perseverance and efforts of self-education, fitted him to commence tho study ot law In after years, Aftor first leaving home as a boy, be for a fow months worked in a saw-mill, after w hich, with a friend, he took con tracts for taking out square timber, his first contracts beinir on the waters of Spring creek, Forest county, four miles from any habitation, where he spent his first winter, iu a lumber camp, with the men under his employ. After complet ing his first contract, he went to school for a lew months ; then to work agaiu at various jobs in the lumber business, run ning on the river, a pilot on the Clarion when vet a bov. and followed this life in which ho was always succeisful, until about the year 18.8, when only eighteen He then purchased a team and wagon antl for some time was engaged in freighting and delivering goods that were then shipped by water to points alang the Allegheny, to Claringtou, Shippen'a Mill, Cooksburg, and to various towns and lumbering establishments along the Clarion. In 18(i0 he commenced to read law, studying, however, only in the eve nings and such times a he could spare from his work. Having engaged in put ting In timber raits, staves, etc., for the Pittsburg market, he hoped to be able, after his return from marketing, In the spring of 1861, to complete his education and law studies, and enter upon the prac tice of law. But on hearing the news that Fort Sumpter was fired on, aud when President Lincoln issued his call for voluntoers, he, with his father and three brothers John, Samuol and Leon ard were ready to go In defence of the "stars and stripes." For three years he was a member of Co. E, Tenth Regt. Ponn'a Reserve Corps, then having ra- enlisted ho was transferred to Co. I, ol tho Ono Hundred and Ninety-first Penn. Vet. Vol., and la June, 1864, was, by special ordor ol Gen. Meade, detailed and placed in charge of the ordinance train of the Third Division of the Fiah Army Corps, in which capacity he acted as cap tain and a staff officer until the close of tho war. He declined a commission as captain for the reason that it would ne cessitate the resignation ol a wounded captain and thus deprive his friend of a captain's pay. His record as a soldier is a brilliant one. he having participated In somo twenty-seven battles and engage ments, and having received special men tion in general orders for bravery in ac tion. He was mustered out of service in July, 1865, when he returned to his home in Forest county. In the fall of '66 he was unanimously elected sheriff ol his county. Before his time as sheriff ex pi red lie was elected prothonotory, regis ter, recorder and clerk or the several pourts of Forest county, and befon bis first term as such had expired he was re elected. Before the close of his second term he was elected a member of the leg islature, boingthe first member from the county under the constitution of 1873. lie served in the legislature of the state from 1875 to 1879, winning a reputation for proibty and ability. In 1879 be accepted a position tendered him by hia fri'-nd, Hon. A. K. Dunkle (then secretary of In ternal atlarirs) in the office of the secre tary of Internal affairs of Penn'a, wblcb nosition ho filled for the term of four years. Having completed his law studies un der the direction of Hon. George A.Jenks nntl W. E. Latbv. Esq., fa commenced the practice of law in 1874, aud oontiDU. in the practice as much as his official du ties and the various enterprises in which be was engaged would permit. Asa lawyei he was successful, and en joyed the confidence and respect of all who knew him In that connection, hav ing, aside from being admitted te the county courts, for many years been prac- ticing pefore the supreme oourt of Pens., and the U. S. district ooarts. For the last few years he was engaged ia the practice of law before the Court ef Claims, Supreme Court of the U. 8 and the de partment at Washington, D. C, where he had accumulated quite an extensive prac tice. Having arranged his work so that but part of his lime was taken in Wash ington, he brought his family from that city to Tionesta in July, to the pleasant home they had occupied previous to their removal to Washington about five years ago. For maay years Mr. Agnew was a prominent oil producer, haying had him self at on time a production it almost a thousand barrels a day. M uch of the do- velopsotent of the resources of Forest county in a business way, and especially as to its developsmentforoil.lsdueto Mr. Agnew, who was a leading politician, a popular official, a reliable business man, and whose nine, during his life-time, carried with it weight and influence. He was a man of noble generosity that anew no sounds, aud a man of strict integrity. In June, 1866, he married Miss Jennie K. McKsy, a woman of beautiful character and a true help-meet. For more than thirty-two years the death angel bad nev er visited this happy home, and to the heartbroken wlfs and children this death is a cruel blow. The enly son, C. M.

I gave it such remedies as are usually giv en in such eases, but as nothing gave re lief, we sent Tor a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty-five opera tions of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unlesslt soon obtained relief It would not live. Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and i de cided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the bettor; by its continued use a com plete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va. ror sale by a. w. Bovara.
