Death ot Mrs. Hep lor.
Mrs. Moses Heplor, nee Mary Byers,
was born in Armstrong county, Pa. .April
5, 1815, and died at the home of her son,
Moses Hepler, in Tionesta, Monday
morning, Jan. lit, 1899, of infirmities of
old ags, which possibly wero hastened
in culmination by her being an invalid
for over eight years.
Being a helpless invalid so many years,
shut in from the world, and suffering as
onlvan aged invilid can suffer, death to
her must have been a welcome release,
Our deepest sympathies are aroused at
the thought of such an one ; and bow
must the great loving heart of our Master
and Saviour.who suffered "many things"
for us, and who is "touched with the
feeling of our infirmities," be touched in
sympathy and pity for such ; und that
being true of the mortal, how much more
is it true of the immortal.
Deceased whs the mother of nine child

who have the sympathy of a large circle
of friends. The survivors are: Mrs. F.

homo, a distance of a mile or so, and Dr.

the voters at the election in Novemlior
iast, and in doing so have made what near
I y everyone who has expressed an opin
ion on it calls a wise selection The site
will be on tho banks overlooking the
beautiful Allegheny river, four miles
north of the county seat, the S J. Wolcott
nnd John Walter farms having been He
cured. This plot of ground covers one
hundred and fifty acres, about eighty of
which are under a gocxl state of cultiva
tion, and nearly half of the balance of the
land is of such a chnrai-ter ss can le
easily made tillable. Each of the proper
ties contains a largo and substantial barn
and fairly good dwellings. The ground
lies high and dry, with an abundance ot
tine running water for all domestic pur
poses, and an excellent opportunity to
secure an ample supply for fire protec
tion from neighboring springs. The nat
ural drainage advantages are perfect, and
all told it is ail ideal location for an insti
tution of this character. We doubt
whether its equal could bo found in the
State, all things considered.
The cost of the property is $5,000, which
good judges claim is a very fair and rea
sonable figure. The Commissioners are
now considering plans and specifications
for the building, having hail submitted
to them perspective views by Architect
Robinson, of Altonna, Pa. Those are
very handsome iu design and of modern
style in point of beating, ventilating, tire
proof qualities, etc. As to the adoption
of theso plans, the Board, we believe, has
not dec.ded, but will look farther before
making a choice. It is the intention to
have all matters in readiness to begin
active work on the buindings as soon as
settled weather comes.
East Hickory.
Tho Local Institute at East Hickory,
the programs for which were printed at
this oflice, hold there on last Saturday
was quite successful. Owiug to the very
bad weather prevailing the attendance
was not so good as it would otherwise
have been. Some good papers were read
and some of the discussions were quite
spirited. The next one will be held iu
four weeks.
Hal I io Raugher, grand-daughter of Mrs.
Blooinfield, re-idiug at Trnnkey ville,
narrowly escaped drowning there one
day last week. She fell from a skiff while
crossing the river.. She was sitting on a
board when a cake of ice strurk the boat
and caused the accident. N hen taken
from tho water and carried to the house
she whs unconscious, but soon recovered
and in a little while seemed none ti e
worse for hot adventure.
Considerable ice of quite a good quality
and thickness has been harvested in t lie
past week and previously from Bow-
niHn's pond. Some of it was hauled
across to West Hickory.
There has been considerable sickness
in and about this community recently
bud colds and on up by easy stages to
real grippe. Everybody, however, seems
to be getting better.
By the wav, it a butter school of the
same erade can be found anywhere about
than the one at East Hickory we'd like
to know and extend congratulations.
We'ro proud. So there.
