Knv. Sam Jones lectured in Green
ville on Sunday and among the tilings ho
said to the pooplo was this : "I intended
to lecture on Sawciety. but I find that
vnn have no society in Greenville Of
course you've got what you call society,
but they wouldn't be allowed to sweep
out kitchens in B-ltimoro." It wouldn't
do for tho Rov. Sam to make a stutntnont
ol that nature to a Tionesta audience, lor
he would bo used as the broom to sweep
out the hall In which he lectured.
-In our notice of "The Cuban Spy'

participants.
What might have been a very seri
ous fire at the mantel works was luckily
'nipped In the bud" Monday evening.
A barrel containing old waste and felt
used by tho men in tho finishing depart
ment took fire, supposedly from sponta
neous combustion, but was discovered
by John Dewaltintime to save serious
results.
Wild geese are flying southward, a
thing to which .old timers attach much
significance on account ofits influence on
the weathor. Of course they have noth
ing 'o do with tho good, bad or indiffer
ent weather, but 'tis argued that instinct
tolls them it's timo to "fly the coop" and
they got up and fly to ayoid the polar
wave. But all signs fail in all kinds of
weather.
Honry Roth, of Fredonia, N. Y,.
committed suicide in the Titusville-jail
Monday evening by hanging him sol I to
tho top of tho cell with an eloctric light
wiro. .Roth had forged an indorsement

Cora, tho 4-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. Whitten, of Kellettvillo.
died of diphtheria last Saturday, Nov. fi,
1808, and was buried on Sunday. Other
members of the family are afflicted with
this dread disease and a number of other
cases are reported in that vicinity. Ev
erything known to medical science is be
ing utilized to prevent the spread ot the
disease and it is hopod that the epidemic
will be of short duration.
"The law forbids the salo of pheas
ants and quail by markctiiien or em
ployes. The gunner may sell his game,
but it cannot be resold bjr the purchaser."
Ex. Tho foregoing item has been float
ing around, but is incorrect and mis-
lcadind. It is unlawful for any person to
soil or purchase "'any elk, deer, fawn,
wild turkey, pheasant, grouse, quail, par
tridge or woodcock killed or entrapped
within this Commonwealth," under a
penalty of $100 for every elk, deer or

feathered game species abovo named.

Delightful Social Event.
GROVE HENRY At the residence of
the bride's molhor in Tionesta, on
Tuesday, Nov. 4th, 1873, by Rev.
Brown of Tidioute, Mr. W. W. Grove
and Miss Emma Henry, both of Tio
nesta. Thus reads the only announcement un
der the heading "Married" in the issue
of the Forest RKrunut'AN, on Monday,
Nov. 5, 1873, and alter many years of
happy married life these good people had
the pleasure of greeting about one-hundred
and seventy-five of their friends at
their residonce, upon the twenty-fifth
anniversary of their marriage, Nov. 4,
1808. Fow indeed have been as well fa
vored as have Mr. and Mrs. Grove, in
having boon permitted to live so many
years of wedded life in the home town ot
their youth, and to bo reunited in mar
riage, as was done in a very pritty ser
vice by their pastor, Rev. J. V. McAn
inch, assisted by Rev. R. A. Buza, in
the presonce or their children and many
of their frionds who wittnessed tho firm
er ceremony. Those who wero present
and wore fortuuate enough to witness
this second marriage, will carry with
thorn the memory of one of the most do
lightful events that have taken place, in
our midst. The only shade of sadness on
this occasion was the calling to memory
many whoso voices, now still, mingled
witli theirs iu the happy chorus or con
gratulations and good wishes twenty-live
years before. Among tho names men
tioned were Hon. J. A. Dalo, Dr. Hunter
and daughter Jennie who was brides
maid on that memorable night in '73, Jo
seph Grove, Esq., fathor of W. W., Hon.
J. G. Dalo, E. E. Clapp, Esq., and Mrs.
Mary Henry, mother of Mrs. Grove.
However, tho "best man" of the former
occasion, Mr. Albert Grove, was present
on Friday evening, and added much to
the enjoyment of those present. Mr and
Mrs. Grove had tastefully decorated thoir
parlors and reception rooms with fern
and cut flowers, and their veranda with
Chiucso lanterns. One of the chief de
lights of the evening, for the guests, was
to view the fine disnlav of presents. If
the standing and estimation of Mr, and
Mrs. Grove aro to be judged from the
beautiful and costly girts of their friends,
we conclude they hold an enviable posi
tion. At all evonts, tho recipients of the
rich and useful gilts are delighted to have
beon so handsomely rornembered. A
rough estimate places the entire valuo at
$200. Most of the silver pieces are ster
ling and with so fow repetitions as to
make them doubly useful. Ono of the
most highly prized of all the gifts was a
lovely hand-pieced quilt made by Mr.
Grove's mother. Among tho gifts was a
solid silver colfoe urn that was of spocial
interest to many as it was tho girt or the
lato E. E. Clapp to the bride on hor wed
ding day in '73. During tho evening
choice refreshments, prepared by tho ca
terer, Mr. Fred Bristow, were served,
and at 12 o'clock a beautiful sernade con
sisting of a display of fire works was giv
en Mr. and Mrs. Grove while the guests
departed fur their homes.

The Late Mrs. Hills.
On Sabbath evening, Oct. 23, at 6
o'clock, thero passed from eaith one ofthe
most brilliant minds that Forest county
has ever known, and there closed a life
that was, for almost eighty years, one of
greatest activity.
Juiiette Granville Brightman, the
daughter-of a sea captain, was torn in
Fall River, Mass., and was reared and
educated in tho city of Now B dford in
the same state. When scarcely twon y
years of age, she married Daniel Hills,
Esq., a young man of storling worth and
of groat enterprise, and with him emi
grated to the western part of New York
where they made for themselves a home
in the forests of Chautauqua county.
Buffalo was then but a village of a few
hundred inhabitants, and the western
terminus of the Erie canal over which
route Mr. and Mrs. Hills reached the
lake city. One would think that a young
woman who had enjoyed the many pleas
ures and advantages that Mrs. Hills had
in her Massachusetts homes, would re
gret exchanging it for the meager com
forts of a pioneer's life, and the privation
of seeing or hearing often from loved
ones.in the New England states. But not
so with her. She was perfectly delighted
with tho primitive forests and never for
ono moment regretted their seloction or a
homo. To her "The groves were God's
first temple," and through them her soul
looked up to Him the mal'er or the
Universe. A student all hor life, she
here found time to continue hor nature
stud hs and to satisfy, to a great extent,
her lovo of botany, minerology.and zool
ogy. But being a diriot decendent of a
member ofthe Pilgrim band who sought
reluge on a foreign shore and was one of
the first to touch the rock that afterwards
became the cornerstone of our Republic,
and also of one or the worthy Huguenot
families, we do not wonder that sho
should bo possessed orsuch great courage
and fortitude, mingled with all the noble
characteristics of her ancestry, and tem
pered with love aud good will to all.
Mrs. Hills will never be remembered as
a woman of selfishness among those who
ever asked help of her. To hor it was a
pleasure to give, even to the last dollar
with no prospect in view ol more to come
when neoded, only through the unyield
ing faith in the love and care of a Heav
enly Fathsr. But the home iu the torest
soon expanded into broad fields and
acres, through the diligent care of its
owners, and a home of comfort took the
place of t. e woodman's cabin. In this
homo three sons and one daughter were
carefully trained to become good citizens
and honored members of society. But
two are now living George Hills, Esq.
of Jamestown, N. Y.. and Mrs. C. frank
Fox of Foxbnr, this county, with whom
she made her home fur many years.
During her lifetime the culture and nat
ural ability of both her and her daughter
enabled them to become tho hostesses of
tome of tho most distinguished men and
women of our nation, and perhaps no
oilier homo in Forest county, a tew years
ago, could claim the honors that belonged
to this household. Brilliant eonversa
tionalists, witli an extensive knowlodge
acquired by reading, travel and associa
tion with the best people, gave them a
placo in society that might bii coveted by
a peoplo less lavored than they were.
And with all this a deep interest was felt
by them in every one, and it was consul
orcd a real privilege to do an act ol kind'
ness for nnyono, from those emp loyed in
the household to the most intimate a
qusintances. No doubt tho same spirit
ef patriotism promptod Mrs. Hills to re
ply to her son when ho asked her per
mission lo become a volunteer in the late
Rebellion, "Daniol, I would be ashamed
to tlnuk I bad roared a son who would
not bo willing to go in defense of his
country when it needed him.," that filled
tho soul of hor maternal grandfather in
the war of the Revolution, and -enabled
him to go barefooted during that noted
winter at Valloy Forge. Mrs. Hills said
she often counted the scars on hor grand
father's feet that wore caused from ex
posuro in that war. It might be interest
ing to nolo that this grandfather, when a
boy live years of age, had a very narrow
escape from being killed by tho Indians.
A party of Indians came into their yard
one day, picked him up and were about
to dash his brains out against a griud
stono when his mother begged of them
not to do so.saying ho had been very sick.
They granted her request in this, but
picked up a slave boy, dashed his brains
out, picked up a little girl and two start
oil' with her. The mother followed bog
ging piteously for them to give her her
child, but they were deaf to her entreaties
and threatened to kill her il she did not
go back. Scoing sho could do no good,sho
returnod to her home t find tho feather
beds ripped oon and hvorything out of
order, but not a child about the house.
She started for tho blockhouse, hoping to
find thorn thero, and on the way one of
tho Indians tried to kill her by shooting
at her. Tho same Indian was killed
when near the blockhouse by a shot from
someone within. When there she found
a daughter 15 years of age with the baby,
but no little boy. With a heavy heart,
sho returned to hor home, began a search
for hor little son and found him in an old
clock whoro he had fled 'or safety. Many
years after tho mother had a visit from
an Indian chief and his wile who proved
to bo no other than tha little daughter,
stolen from hor so many years before.
She prevailed on hor daughtor to remain
witli her, but the Indian life hail more
charms for her than the civilised world
and sho returned to her captors.
Mrs. Hills charmingly entertained till
whoso privilege it was to visit her, by re
lating incidents iu her own lilo. She ro
memberod Lafayette's visit to America
and of having seen him. Also of having
attended a reception giveu iu honor ol
Gen. Jackson when he was a Presidential
candidate. She was fond ol reading, and,
besides keeping well posted in regard to
the events ofthe day, she reread Macau
ley's History of England a few months
ago for tho third time. For many years
sho kept a dairy, and not long since she
finished an autobiography fr her niece,
Miss Julia Brightman of Fail River,
Mass. She took a lively interest iu poli
tics, although not a woiimn's-righls wo
man in the sense now used, and always
claimed lo be a believer in the Jelforsoiii-
I an Democracy, yet wan an advocate ol
the "lust man for the best place."
Of hit e she I'd t her work was finished
and she anxiously waited for the Lord lo
come. Sho was very happy in the assur
ance that her Savior wa near her and
had never forsaken Iit.
