A private letter from John W. Solby
stales tLat his rather, James Solley, Esq ,
died at bis home in Parkershurg, W. Va ,
on February 13th, last. This will be fad
news to many old friends of 'Squire Sol
ley still residing in Forest county, where
he had made his home for many years,
and whern he was held in high esteem by
those who knew blm. He was aged 8.3
years, and kept his health remarkably
well up to within few hours of his
death, which came from more exhaus
tion, or a silencing of the heart beats.
Mr. Solley was a justice of the peace in
Tionesta nearly 50 years ago.
That this has been a strenuous winter
no man will dispute who has been at alt
mixed up with it, but there have been
others. In running over the files ofthe
Rki-ublican, In a search for something
that might compare with it In a measure
at least, we find that on the 17th of March,
18H5, St. Patrick's day, (which, by-the-way,
occurs to-morrow) the thermomoter
registered 12 degrees below zero, and
three days later, March 20th, first day of
spring, the murcury dropped to 22 below.
That year the river was frozen over solid
ly for nearly lis entire length, and the Ice
did not pass out at this point until the
7th day of April. So it will be observed
that the winter of 19(13-4 is not the only
winter.
The Central Pennsylvania Lumber
Company, whose main ol'lces are kept at
Williamsport, Pa., Is "no small potatoes"
In the lumber business, says the Ridgway
Advocate. "This company now owns all
the vast tracts of timb' r and bark lands
formerly belonging to ths Peno, Elk and
Union Tanning Companies. They have
in the neighborhood of two hundred
square miles of timber lands, located in
twenty counties of Pennsylvania. Their
possessions extend from Pike county on
tho east to Warren and forest comities on
the west. They have nine saw mills,
several of them each largo enough to
turn out 150,000 feet of lumber each day."

-A Sunday or so ago, while conduct

one of the speakers lu the course of bis
remarks, mentioned the fact that he ob
served a couple of strange faces among
the Inmates frank, honest appearing
countenances, that he had not seen on bis
lormer visits to the bavile. He didn't
know what they "were In lor," but hoped,'
and judged from their appearance, it
could uot be for a soi lous offense, but in
any case ho trusted they would receive
mercy and pardon from the Great Judge
ol all flesh, and that they would lead bet
ter lives iu the future. It developed later
that Sheriff Brown and Commissioner
Hegberg, of Warren county, having offic
ial business with Sheriff Noblit, had
come down on the Saturday evening
train, and were taking a view ot the in
side of the jail on Sunday afternoon,
when the good people arrived to conduct

Wagner, died at her home in Tionesta
township, on Sunday, March 13, 1001.

the first. Mrs. Wagner came to this
country from Germany along in the ear
ly fifties, and has resided on the farm
which hor late husband cleared, 'or near'y
half a century. She was aged about 77
years, and is survived by five sons,

Crain, both of Foxburg; Charles James
Fox, of Henry's Mills and Edward
Stabler Fox, at home. In hei various
relations ol life, as daughter, sister, wife
and mother, Mrs. Fulton was loyal, lov
ing, devoted, true. The fine qualities of
heart and mind which she inherited
through a long line of honored ancestry,
were well cultivated, and all who knew
her learned ' to love the charming
young woman whoso tenderest sympa
thies were always extended, in a practi
cal way, to those who were In need. She
took an aetivo part in everything which
tended to the uplifting of humanity, and
was especially helpful in the work of the
Sabbuth school Hor devotion and rev
erence lor sacred things were enriched as
the truth was preseuted, and her little
children bear living testimonies to her
faithful instructions as a mother. Her
life work was short, and before her
frionds were aware, God's linger touched
her and her barquo reached the 'un
known and silent shore." Af er a brief
illnes with pneumonia, aud on the morn
ing of the day set for her and ber bus
band's departure for a westeru home,
she went to be with God. Such is the
uncertainty of life, even with the young
and hipeful. Funeral services were con
ducted Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
by Rev. Mr. Ellis, ofthe Methodist Epis
copal church, of Sheffield, and the body
was laid to rest in the family burial
ground on a beautiful knoll overlooking
tho Tionesta creek. The beautiful floral
offerings, the closing of all places ol bus
iness and tho large number of friends
who attended the funeral from tho sur
rounding country bore witness of tho
high esteem in which Mrs. Fulton and
tho members of the family Wi re held.

Dear Sir: As your business is to get
people into and out of tionble, suppose
you consider their paint; it makes 'era
almost as much troublo as mon'y, except
of course matrimony.
They buy poor paint a gor d deal ; they
don't mean to ; they don't know any bet
ter; they buy without thinking. Bad
paint Isn't good. It looks good enough
for a year; then begins to get rusty; but
changes so slowly, one doesn't notice it.
Looking isn't all. The business of
paint is to koep a bouse dry Inside, the
wood and iron ol it; keep it fioin rotting
and rusting. Takes good paint to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't go by the
price at all; as with lawyers, the price
has nothing to do with goodness or bad
ness; and costs are worse yet; the paint
er and sheriff come in for their share.
But the probability is thai a man, who
paiuts Devoe, will come out on top.
Yours truly,
F. W. Dkvob A Co.,

Pensions fur Spanish War Soldiers.
The lollowing special sent out from
New Castle is going the rounds of the
papers :
District Attorney Joseph V, Cunning
bam, who was a captain in the 10th Regi
ment in the Spanish-Am rican war and
later captain of the 4 2d United States
volunteers in the Philippines, has just
won a victory which will result in the
distribution of more than $2,000,000
among the 42,000 United States volunteer
troops. An Act of Congress in 1001 gave
two months' extra pay to all troops serv
ing in foreign lands in compensation for
the loss of furloughs on pay. Adverse
decision by the Comptroller of the Treas
ury prevented payment on the ground
that the Act applied only to the Spanish
American war soidiers. Captain Cun
ningham has fought this through the
courts until he has gained a favorable de
cision. It will affect several thousand
soldiers in this State.
