It is likely there will be another drilled beforo the terri'ory is abimloned. L. C. Wynkoop, at ono tiino largely interested In Forest county timbering and lumbering operations, and lor many years a resident of Jefferson county, died at his home in Allegheny on the 7th inst. Mr. Wynkoop will be remembered by many of our older citizens as a prominent lumbermen on the Clarion river. He was aged about 73 years, and leaves an estate valued at a million dollars. A Colorado paper tells of a traveler who broke something about his buggy and asked a Swedish ranchman if he had a monkey wrench, and ho shook his head and said; "No. A got a cattle ranch, my broder Ole lie haf a horse ranch, Nels Nolson haf a hog ranch by de crick and a Yankee foliar haf a sheep ranch 'bout live miles down de road, but Ay bet no foliar bane fool 'nough to start a monkey ranch in dese country yot."

The leapyear party given by the young ladies of Tionosta In Bovar.l's Hall last evening was certainly the most swell affair In the torpslchorean line that has been attempted here this winter. The hall was tastefully and appropaiately decorated for the occasion, the imiiie was rendered by the popular Fesseudnu or chestra, of Oil City, an appetising lunch was servfld and those who did not enjoy themselves were probably not present.

The amount realized at this market will be for the Presbyter ian church fill nlsbing fund, so the En deavor Society earnestly solicits the lib eral patronage of the members of the church and congregation, and of all who are interested in tills undertaking. Take it out on the bills in most of the country surrounding, tho sleighing is still fairly good, and if it wasn't for the bare spots here and there a sleigh would run better than a wagon. But it's the safest to go on wheels if your trip is one of any distance. There has now been a stretch of fully three mouths during which the sleighing has beon what one might call pretty good, although at no tiino has il been excellent. But for stay ing qualities "the winter can safely lie ranked as tho leader lor several genera tions past, and there's more to follow, it would seem. Local exchanges are pas-ing around an item which seems to indicate that there Is some truth in the adage that" his tory repeats itself." Twenty-one yeais ago Louis Rosenzwig, an Erie attorney, was ejected from a train on account of not l.aviug the proper kind of a ticket and in walking back to the station fell through a cattle guard and was permanently dis abled. I he Lake Shore paid him JfiO.OOO damages. At tho last term of court in Erie county 'jo had a claim against the P. it L. E. railroad which was settled out of court.

Range, constable, collector and assessor of Harmony township, met with an accident last Saturday afternoon in a rather peculiar manner. In his duties as tax collector he has persuaded himself that it would be a pious idea to have some means ol defense in case some fel low might want his "wad" worse than he did, and so he provided himself with a 32 calibre revolver. While on bis way home from a tour of bis township he slipped and loll, striking on the weapon, which was in his overcoat, and hurting his thigh considerably. He concluded that bis inside coat pocket would he a better place for the revolver, and was iu the act of making the change, having the weapon iu his right hand and pulling the lapel of the coat with the left. In this position the pistol was discharged, the ball passing through the little linger of his left hand between the knuckle and joint, teaiiug the bone eniiiely away. Len thinks that iu his fall the revolver was cocked, and when be wa making tlie change he must have gotten his lin ger on the trigger and pressed it hard enough to discharge the shot. Dr. Dunn was called and made the necessary re pairs, and thinks the finger can be saved. Len. says he never beforo carried a re volver, and considers that since he man aged to hit the smallest linger on bis left hand the first shot, without taking "half aim," ho might, with a little practice, be come an expert in a short time.

A double fatality, one of the saddest happenings to occur in this county for some time, is reportod from Harnett town ship, the accidental doatli of two broth ers. Albert and Wayne Cousins, sous of James R. Cousins, one of our oldest citi zens and who byes about two milos from Itedclylle, were working together in a coal mine near Thomas, West Virginia, on Saturday, the Oth inst., when a cave-in occurred, letting a largo quantity of slate down. The men were about to set a num ber of pit posts to sustain the roof of the mine w hen the slate came down upon them crushing out their lives almost in stantly. The men were promptly ex tricated, but it was too late, as lilo was extinct when they wero rescued. Their remains were prepared for burial and sent north, arriving at the homo ol their parents, from whence the funeral was held on Wednesday last, both bodies being interred in one grave, In Green wood cemetery, In Barnelt township, a large concourse of sympathizing friends attending the sad obsequies. Both were men of families, Albert, the elder, leaving a wife and four children. Wayne leaves a wile and one child and both were men of excellent character, noted for their industry and honesty, and their tragic ending has cast a gloom over tho community in which they were rear ed and wire so well and favorabl. known. Fanners' Institutes. The iinportanco of tho farming inter ests of our great State is shown by the creation of a Departmont of Agriculture, organized for (lie sole purpose of benefit ling the farming communities of tlis Commonwealth. One of the principal features of this De partment is the holding of institutes in the various counties of the State. Speak ers are provided for these popular gath erings; men who are specialists in their subjects, and known to be successful in their particular vocations. As an added feature, opportunity is given to local talent to coutiibute essays and other interesting ma'.ter and in this way the institutes are provided with a great variety of entertaining subjects, which are a delight to those who attend the Best-ions. ' Our Forest county institute was hold last week in the court house, beginning on Friday atiernooii and continuing till Saturday night, the address of wilcome being delivered by S. D. Irwin, Emi., and it pi oved to be one of the finest in the county's history. Chairman C. A. Randall had arranged a rich and varied program ot subjects es pecially interesting to farmers and that theo subjects were appreciated, is shown by the large attendance pre-ent at every session of the institute. The Agricultural Department had placed at his disposal a splendid corps of instructors including Prof. M. S. Mc Dowel, of Slate College, who addressed the gatherings on the subjects of'Lime," "Why Educate," aud "Value of Pertil izeis." Mr. Robert Seeds, ouo of the most pop ular institute lecturers, delighted his au diences not less with his popular talks on the "Mistakes of Life" and "Ideal Farm Home," than he instructed them by his presentation of agricultural sub jects. A third nu mber of the corps was J. Y. Patton, of New Caste, who devoted his attention to the poultry question, show ing the profits to be made by the iotelli gent breeder and raiser of chickens. Successful stock raising was discussed by Mr. A. B. Lehman, who has an envia ble reputatiou throughout the State as a specialist in this department of animal industry. Iu addition to tho above Chairman Randall was very heartily supported by our local talent who furnished the music aud contributed essays aud addresses on various topics. Noticablo among these was an address on "Hygiene," by T. F. Ritchey, Esq., another instructive talk was made by the Rev. O. II. Nickle, on "Tho Family Gar den," another able address on "The Higher Education of Woman," by the Rev. R. W. Illlngworth. while Mr. T. I). Collins discussed "The Fanner's Duty Under the New Road Law." The musical parts of the program wero by local perlormers. Especially com meiidable was the work of the male oc tette on Friday evening, Miss Randall presiding at the organ, while the essays of the Misses Thomson and Carson, with tho reading of Miss Joyce were warmly received, A most interesting feature of the eve ning exorcises was a flag drill by the children of the public schools under the direction of teachors, the Misses Morrow and McCrea. Some enjoyable vocal se lections were also ren lored by tho schol ars to the satisfaction of the audience. The institute of l'.lnJ has passed into history, but to th many who attonded its sessions, it will be ploasantly remom- bored as ono of tho most interesting and entertaining ever held in the cunty of Forest. Wl-'ST HH'KOHY INSTITUTK The session of the Farmers' Institute hold at West Hickory under the direction of Forest county Institute Chairman Randall, of Tionesta, was held in the M. E. church and was a decided success, Tho same Stato cerps of lecturers gave addresses on agricultural subjects as those who spoke at the Tionesta gather ing, and they wero heartily supported by the residents of the town. Noticeable among the latter, were the papors read by Mr. Geo. King, on "Sheep Raising," and the essays of Miss Frances B. Siggins and Mrs. S. L. Vail on "The Home Garden," and "The Model Teach er," respectively. Mr. T. D. Collins, of Nebraska, also spoke instructively on "Eloments of success for tho Farmer." A very Interesting discussion took place at the evening session on the "Ad vantage of Electing Lady School Direct ors." When, after the arguments, the question was submitted to a test vote of the audience, but two opposed tho plan. This discussion was introduced by Dr. W. O. Morrow, In an address favoring tho women under certain conditions. A pleasing featute of tho session was the music. This was under the direction of Mrs. W ilk ins, and proved to be of an umisualiy high order. The State lectureisand Chairman C. A. Randall were entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Orion Siggins, at their home on the evening of tho institute, and were delighted will) the generous hos nilalitv and rourlesv extended to them j by the pooplo of West Hickory.

Tionesta Is to be well represented in the National Guard for the next three years, it seems. Eight of our stalwart young men have enlisted in the 10th reg iment, joining the Warren company. Hero are the names of the new soldier boys: N. A. Caulkius, corporal; Samuel Fitzgerald, Lewis Arner, Linus Shriyei, Silas Shriver, Archie Clark, Adolph Blum and John Jamieson, Jr. The boys go to Warren Monday to be mustered into the service. They are all hus ky young fellows, and we doubt if the regiment will have any better soldiers if ever called into hostilities. Fred Bris tow, of this place is also a member of the guard, having enlisted two years ago. Insurance Companies Sot Seriously Affected. The probable effect of the great Balti more conflagration on the insurance com panies has been a matter of considerable concern to many, and inquiries have been numerous at the different tusurauce agencies on this point. It will reassure the people to know that while all have sustained heavy losses, none of the larg er companies will be seriously affected, In conversation with Mr. C. M. Arner, of the firm of Arner A Son, he stated that the insurance loss has been estimated at from eighty to a hundred million dollars and that it was probable that no one com pany had been Involved more than one million. He also stated that he has had assurance from all the companies repre sented by his firm that the losses sus tained will not in tho least affect their standing, and that their large surplus funds will be much more than ample to meet all their losses. Mr. Arner sub mitted a number of letters and telegrams from his companies of which the follow ing is a sample: Philadelphia, Feb.lt, 1901. C. M. Arner A Son, Tionesta, Pa. Although Royal loses a considerable sum in Baltimore, such disasters are an ticipated and stability of company would not be affected by many such losses. We are adjusting and paying claims.

Assurances ot similar purport come from tho Insurance Company of North Amer ica, the Delaware Insurance Company of Philadelphia, the Home Insurance Com pany of New York, and in fact all the companies represonied by the Arner agency of this place. Letter to John Wolf, TiotwMa, Pa. Dear Sir: The way to reckon the cost ot paint is to put both costs together: the cost of the paint and tho cost of putting It on. It would save this country hundreds of millions of dollars a year; It would save you alone (if you happen to be a victim) several dollars a year. See how it works. It costs as mucti to put on one paint as another, don't it T Yes, il you uso the same number of gallons. Well, don't I? No, you'll use twice as many gallons of adulterated paint as of Dovoo; and you've got to pay twice as much for putting it on. Mr. Avery, Delhi , N. Y., has two houses alike and in same condition. Painted one house with Devoe: ti gallons. Painted the other house with a paint that whs half adulteration : 12 gallons. Same painter, Goo. Gilbert, did both jobs. One eost$J7; tho other f .VI.

Thirty seven years ago I was hunting on the headwaters of Queen and came back by the old Warren road and over German Hill to Tionesta. Conrad Zuendel, undo or the present Conrad, was living on the Kiser place. Win. Heath, then a strong, powerful man. was living on tho Heath homestead. We had a wagon load of deer. We took dinner at Mr. Heath's, stopping for a while during a downpour of rain. Mr. J. A. Viele, mauager of tho Wil berine, Pipe Linfs, was a caller at tho Cook Oil Lease oflice Friday. Tho High Constable, II. E. Gillespie, was at the Justice's oflice on business Saturday. I see by the papers that a service pen sion bill has been put before the House of Representatives. That is about the only way to do justice to the men who stood the brunt of ihe tight. Years in Llbby Prison or Andersonville should be paid for at a greater price, tl an a trip down South, and no smell of powdor, maybe lor three months, and then dis charged. The spirit ot the enlistment was probably the same, but the suffering of some was greater. Mouey cannot re pay many of the old veterans for what they went through. A service pension would ease It up somewhat, but never in lull. The controversy that is going on over Governor Vardanian's theory that edu cation makes the negro worse calls from the Memphis Commercial Appeal the statement that Major Vardamau's argu ment is iucontrovertable, aud among other things says, "this lack ot moral sense makes thieves and robbers and muiderers of them by the wholesale. Education has not benefitted him men tally, morally or spiritually. The most eloquent, most scholarly, and the most brilliant negro. Bi-hop of America a man who was educated et Harvard is one of the most notoriously lewd aud profligate members or his race. He rep resents what we know to be tho worst status of the negro ministry." To show the worthlessuess and humbug of such argument, consider LortUByron, his life and character. Does his life condemn the whole Anglo-Saxeu race? Not at all. Aud yet bis race had about 1000 years of experience and education before his time. To make things equal iu our judgmeut of the negro and Anglo-Saxon races, we would have to go back to the conquest ot the British Isles by the Romans. I have no doubt but that the Roman senators and generals thought about the same concerning the natives of England that Governor Vardauian does about the ne groes of the Southland, yet the Roman senators and generals, representing the highest civilization of that time, were lewd beyond compare. How about Nero and his fiddling at Rome, and his life? How about Bloody Mary? HeuryVIII did not slop at one murder to satisfy his ungodly lust and lewdness. How about those that murdered our veterans at Lib- by and Andersonville? What had edu cation done for them ? How about the civiliziug influence ol burning a negro at the stake? The lewdness, lust, rapine and murder is not all on the side of the negro. Mokk Anon. F. M. tjiiartetiy Meeting.
