Some who were present thought the show a very credit able one but scarcely worth fifty cents, which some of tho seats were held at. The boat is an Immense affair to be navi gated with only the ordinary raft or boat ing oars, and if it reaches tho Ohio river in safety It may be counted as inoie in the nature of good luck tbau manage ment. The High School commencement at the court house last eyening was a complete success from ttart to finish.

The class ol uineteen four is to be congratulated on their auspicious commencement. Charles Cook, a resident of Warren county, committed suicide In Kane last Friday shortly after the noon hour. He had arrived in the town ouly a short time before, and had gone into the Kane Sport ing Goods store, apparently in good spir its, for be was whistling when be entered. He was recognized by the gentleman in charge.who had stepped behind thecoun- tor and reached bis hand into the cigar case to get biin a tobey. As be was thus engaged Cook took a revolver from bis pocket and sent 32 calibre bullet crash ing through his brain. He died within a few minutes after committing the rash act.

Tuesday of last week, just after the dinner hour, the farm dwelling of An drew Mealy, located In tin southern end of Tionesta township, about a mile fioni Johulowen postofllce, caught tire, and there being none but the old folks at bouie, ihe building and nearly all Its con tents were consumed. The dwelling is some distance from neighboring farmers, and before help could reach the scene the tire bad about done its wirk. Besides the household effects there was stored in the cellar all of Mr. Mealy's provisions, seed potatoes and other vegetables, all of which were consumed, leaving him prac tically nothing. Mrs. Mealy is somewhat of an invalid and could render her bus band no assistance in saving their goods. The loss will probable amount toa thous and dollars, with no Insurance, and falls heavily upon the aged couple. Charged Willi Attempting to Crack Sheriff Noblit's Safe. On the night of the 22d of last July, an attempt was made to crack the safe in Sheriff Noblit's office, an account of which we gave at the time in these col umns. On the night in question a sledge hammor, carpenter's brace and some bits, the property of Hepler A Hopkins, had been taken from their tank shop on the west side of the river. From E. E. Flem ing's barn, on River Btreet, a quantity of nitro-glycerlne, some drills, luse, a horse blanket and a band-satchel used by Mr. Fleming in going back and tortb from bis leases, bad been stolen, and most of these articles were found in the Sheriff 's ollice next morniug when that official entered. The combination knob of the sale had been battered oil' and Into the receptacle thus made a quantity or the glycorine had been poured. A piece of fuse partly burned, had for some reason or other failed to explode the Btuff. With these evidences the sheriff determined to make an effort to apprehend the perpe trator if possible, and posted the author ities of Titusvllle to be on the alert for a certain individual whom be suspected of being implicated. On Saturday last Sheriff Noblit receiv ed word from Chior or Police Laley that an arrest bad been made near Enterprise, and that be could secure the party at Titusvllle, whereupon he went over and brought the mau in during the evening. His name is James Hlgley,. and he has made his home in the vicinity of Titus vllle for some time past.

That Bountiful (J Ions. comes from the varnish in Devne's Var nish Floor Paint ; costs 5 cents nioro a quart though, bold by James I). Davis. Death ot Mrs. J. A. Proper. To few people bave come such mani fest blessings from tbe band of God, as bave been given to the family of our ven erable fellow citizen, tbe Hon, John A. Proper. It bas been theirs to enjoy an unbroken family circle for more than half a century. In the evening of life the aged parents bave enjoy, d tbe privilege of having children, grand-children, and great grand-children gather 'round their hearthstone in tbe large commodious home, and the children bave lived to see the balo ofpeaca and prospority crown the honored leisure or tbeir parents. But, during the past week, tbe uninvited guest or Death bas entered this favored home and has robbed it of its best and richest treasure the mother. Although her deathless soul, freed from Its earthly body, racked, tortured and paralyzed by disease and pain, triumphantly passed through the mystic vale, far beyond the touch of disease, suffering aud death, yet there is weeping for the heart is lonely and yearns "For the touch of a vanished hand, And the Bound of a voice that is still." The mother "has gone from sight, but not from hearts and memory j she lives on, embalmed with love and garlanded with affection." Sarah A. Groye was a daughter of Jacob and Mary (Bolt) Grove, and was born near Diamond, Venango county, December 16, 1823. She was a grand daughter or Peter Grove, the famous In dian fighter with Samuel Brady, who was one of the pioneers of Centre county, and whose service for bis country was of un told value. On Sept. '22, 1840, she was united in marriage to John A. Proper, or Venango county. Shortly after tbeir marriage Mr. and Mrs. Proper came to what is now Forest county, where Mr. Proper was engaged in the manufacture of lumber. In 1867 they removed to Ti onesta where tbey bave since resided. To them were born seven children, who grew to manhood and womanhood and whose sad privilege it was, with their father and as many of their children and grand-children as were near, to see their mother quietly, peacefully and uncon sciously breathe the last breath of her life on earth. Tbe chldren are: Mrs. Rosllla Walters, Mrs. Jennetta Varner, Oliver W., Mrs. Alice Lanson, J. Floyd, EuRetta, and Forest C. Mrs. Proper was one of nine brothers and sisters, four of whom survive her: Mrs. Eliza Paup, of Tionesta; Mrs. Mary A. Beers, Granison Grove and P, II. Grove, of Venango county. It was also the privilege or these devoted kindred to be with tbeir beloved sister during ber last illness. In the death or Mrs. Proper tbe com munity has lost one or its best and most valued members. Unselfishness, that rarest or gifts, was one of tbe most at tractive.traits in her beautiful character. Her ever ready and sweet tboughtfulness for others, with never a thought for self, caused nany a borne to be benefitted with the comforts which they lacked. It also shed Its genial light in the home, and caused her to brighten and gladden tbe hearts of all who shared ber unstinted hospitality. Loyal and loving to all, pa tient and brave in Buffering, her life re flected the image ot ber Savior, to whom she gave ber heart, in tbe Methodist Episcopal church at Tionesta, some twenty years ago. Her simple faith and childlike trust In ber heavenly Father, stood as an anchor as she neared eterni ty's shore. Her work was done, but the lasting perfume of a sweet life was pour ed into the hearts of those who remain, and "to live in hearts we leave behind is uot to die." At 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, ber pastor, Rev. O. H. Nickle, assisted by Rev. R. W. Illingworth, conducted Im pressive funeral services at her late borne, after which, amid a profusion of fragrant flowers and mingling of tears, the body, followed by a large concourse or relatives and friends, was laid to rest in beautiful Riverside Cemetery, there to await the resurrection of the just, who die in the Lord. Burglars at Kcllcitvlllc. Some time Monday night, probably af ter midnight, tbe town or KeUettville was visited by burglars. The general store or Day A Watson was broken into, the thieves entering by the front door which tbey pried open with a chisel tak en from Wesley Whitebili's wagon shop, and tbe till, which contained about $8.00 in silver, was ritled. The tannory office, on tbe opposite side of tbe creek, was also visited, tbe entrance being gained in about the same maunor. The safe was not locked, and the thieves broke open some of the safety boxes, but lound noth ing apparently that they wanted, as none of tbe private papers were taken. A sledge hammer was taken from the black smith shop of Nick Arnold. Tbe thieves left no clue by which they could be de tected. Two strange men were seou short ly after miduight by tbe watchman at the kindling wood factory. Temperance Lectures. Mrs. E.

Their 23th Wedding' Anniversary. One of the pleasantest events or the season took place on Saturday last, 23d Inst., at the comfortable borne of Mr. and Mrs. Will S. Clark, when upward or seventy cr their neighbors and friends assombled at their residence, on Hunter Run, to remind them that it was the oc casion or their 2")th wedding anuiversary. The affair was intended as a surprise and had been In contemplation for three or four weeks. How well the friends suc ceeded in making it such, and In "keep ing the secret," may be imagined when It is stated that as, oyer sixty strong, tbey marched iu upon the genial couple, they found Mr. Clark busily engaged out on his farm, while Mrs. Clark was wrestling with the problems of the kitchen and general household duties. It was more than a surprise, and if the recipients had not been possessed of good stout hearts and constitutions it would have amount ed almost to a shock, so unsuspectingly were all the details arranged by tbe the chief ones in the "conspiracy." Tbey brought with them many well filled bask ets aud took' complete possession or tbe household atlairs, relieving tlieii host and hostess of any responsibility for the re mainder of the day. Among the pleasing features or the oc casion was the presence of Mr. Clark's lather and mother, three brothers and two sisters, together with their families. In fact the Clark family connection was all present wi'h the exception of four of the nieces and nephews. And besides the near neighbors and frieuds there were also present Mrs. Hoag, Mrs. Hubbard and Mis. Metcalf and grandson, of Titus ville, and Mr. and Mrs. Bryner and daughter of Pleasautville. At one o'clock the company sat down to a most bounteous feast to which all did great justice, and after aday most Joyous ly spent the guests took leave of the gen ial bride and groom of a quarter ceutury ago, wishing them yet many very happy returns of the day. -Several very hand some and useful presents were left as mementoes of an occasion long to be pleasantly remembered by all the partic ipants.
