Matilda Catharine Morrow, daughujrui Dr. J. W. and Rebecca M. Morrow, was born at Atwood, Armstrong county, Pa., Jan, 4, 1870, and died in Tionesta, Pa., May 15, 1899. The anncunceineii1 of tho death of Miss Morrow was so sudden and unex pected as to come in tho nature of a shock to the people of Tionesta, all of whom had a very kindly feeling toward tlio young Udy, and among whom her sud den demise has caused a very general and most sincere feeling of sorrow. She had been ill but two weeks, having been taken suddenly with an attack of appen dicitis,wkicb, while severs from the start, seemed at limes to yield to treatment and at the last the symptoms seemed quite fayorable to her recovery. About a week prior to her death Dr. F. F. Davis of Oil City was called in consultation and gave the family considerable encouragement, but a sudden unfavorable change oc curred a few hours before her death, which dashed the hopes of frieuds for her recovery, and she expired a few minutes before noon on Monday. Miss Tlilie was a bright, kind-hearted, sympathetic young lady, always in a good humor, full of life and vivacity, and well liked by all who knew her. In her ill ness and great suffering her patience and fortitude wero wonderfully beautiful, and by her manner she plainly told the anxious loved ones who were so solici tous for her comfort, that they must not allew their solicitude to overcome them. It gives t. e members of her family, who loved her so tenderly, great joy and com fort to know that duing her illness she was perfectly rational and fully realized she was nearing the unseen portals of etornity, and though life was sweet to her, yet she met the issue with the calmness and resignation of those who, from earli est infancy, have been instructed to place theii faith firmly in the tonder care of the Good Shepherd. The sympathy expressed for the family in this sad affliction is very general and most sincere, a father, stepmother, three sisters and two brothers, with a large cir cle of frieuds being left to mourn 'ho loss of one just in the morning ol life. Funeral services were held at the house last evening at 4:30 o'clock, Rev. J. V. McAninch officiating, the interment be ing in beautiful Riverside cemetery, by the sid i of a loved mother gone before. Robbery Near Tidioute. The Neic of last week gives this ac count ol a nest of thieves which it i hoped may be rooted out. This section has been pestered a good deal with simi lar gangs: Last Saturday night tlio barn ofEugene Morrison at Thompson's was burglarized of ten bags of buckwheat and 500 or 600 pounds of feed. Daylight discovered tne wagon wheel tracks, one wheel of whicli was partly dished and wobbled along making a distinctive track. A young lad on a wheel followed this track aided by a line of spilled buckwheat, and traced it to Tidioute and up the creek road to the old Porterfield mill bkek in the woods from Hemlock. A warrant was issued by Squire Gibb and a man nanieJ Ly man Moore was arrested and brought be fore him. The evidonce was conclusive and Moore was fully committed for trial. A side partner of Moore's named Mat thews, came down Monday in a buggy to help his pal with an alibi. The buggy he rode in was mounted on the wheels lately stolen from Henry DcRocher and Mat thews and another man named Asa Moore wero arrested and after preliminary ex amination were also sent to Warren Tues day afternoon. Mr. DoRocher went up to the place and identified his buggy wheels, tools and robe, and recovered thnni. Quite a large quantity ol other portable miscellaneous property is at tlio thieves rendesvous which the owners could probably Identify. It is said the men are from Little Cooley, Cravford county, and that they are part of a gang of thieves operatiug through this section is evident. There is still one other mem ber of this division ot the gang that the officers are after and will probably get. Decoration Day Program, E. Hickory.

If there is anything in this world that makes a man feel like indulging iu stub and twist profanity it is when be is iu a hurry to catch a train, and, putting on his coat in a splutter, finds that the sleeve lining is loose and his hand gets tied up in a hard knot in it and he can not get it out either way. We know whoreof we speak. Job, no doubt, bad sovcro afflictions, so much so that one would almost swear he was a condidate for Assembly, if it were not known that such expensive luxuries were unknown in his day. Everything worked against him. Subscribers stop .ed their papers and would not pay their subscriptions. Nobody had any J b work done. Not a soul would adveitize, though be ottered tliein spaco "top of column, next to read ing matter," and offered it for 10 per cent, less than any other paper in town. His hogs had the cholera; his horses got tlio ep'zootic; his cows got the hollow horn; his hens wouldn't lay, and the people talked about him because be was opposed to sewerage and street paving. He was actually talked about worse than a mem ber ot the State Legislature, and finally he was dcleated as a member of the school board. When we think of all these things, we are ready to drop a tear iu his behalf. But still Job did not reach the acme of misery, the ne plus ultra of human dis tress. He never wore a coat wiih a loose sleeve lining. In all these troubles Job never got mad nor used cuss words, al though his wit'o advised him t swear a big hole in the atmosphere, but he never even said "dog gone it." But had he been compelled to wear a coat with loose sleeve lining, things would not have been thus. Satan would have gone home well pleased with the genoral condition of things. Jnrin Slanilird. Memorial liny. Department Commander W. J. Patter son, in his General Orders, No. l:t, rela tive to Mcinoriel Day, makes use of the following patriotic words : The blossoms of spring time remind us that Meinirial day is again at hand. Our Memorial Day is one of sacred memories and is to be devoted to the loyal dead of the land ; a day in which a grateful peo ple pay loving tribute to the men who died thnt the Nation might live; a day set apart by the 'irand Army of the Re public to fittingly commemorate the glor ious deeds of heroic men who foil defend ing one country and sue Hag. It is our hallowed duty to participate in tlio observance of the ceremonies of the 30th of May, and no consideration should turn us asiie from our sacred obligations. Let all tho comrades unite in the privi leges and duties of :he day ; none should fail to join the column of those engaged in loving and patriotic services to the memory of our dead comrades. The grave of every comrade should be mark ed with flags and (lowers, and not cue f those mounds should be neglected. If those not of our organization desire to join with you bid them welcome, yet let rone but loyal hands touch the hal lowed ground. Let us all unite in these offices of love to the memory of our comrades in arms whose lives were cut off by the fratricidal darts of treason, or having passed through the tiro of battle and the barbarism of rebel prison pens, have since joined the Grand Army Encampment in tlio shades of the other shore. When we make our annual pilgrimage to tho silent cities of the dead we will find many new mounds marking the final halting places of comrades who have fal len out by the wayside during the year, and who are now at rest under Hie sod and the dew. The new-made craves of soldiers and sailors rising so rapidly in our cemeter ios admonish us that we are on the west itii slopo i f Hie and that our great organ ization is fast growing smaller iu nuin bers, and that many of our comrades who have heretofore assisted iu doing honor to the memory of the dead are now in the ranks of those who have passed on beforo. Let us continue to keep our patriotic Memorial Dav bright before the Ameri can people, "Let w so nutnlier our days lliat we may apply our hearts into wisdom," so thai when done with the toils ami duties of this litu our names mav bo lound anionic those who have been faithful lo the end. Tho roll ol the inustered-oiit will con tintin to increase until ere long the entire membership of our maiiniln-eiit order shall bo at rest ill the bivouacs of Iho dead and tho Grand Army of the ICcpub lie will livoonly in history. "Step by step our ranks are thinning, no by one I bey pass ausy. Hern the loyal blue are fallini:. Yonder lull their vanquished gray ; And the solemn bells are tolling Dust to dust and rlv to elav."
