A special trairf of five well-tilled ooaches passed down the road yesterday from Warron conveying Sunday School picnickers to Monarch Park, Oil City. About a car load of Tionesta people boarded the train at this point. Tho oil market seems still to be troubled with that tired feeling, having slumped two cents more within the last week. There is no apparent cause In sight for this weak tendency, and pro ducers are at a loss to know what's got into the situation. Hon.

The crop Is the finest and most abundant that this section has hail In many years, and will make up to a large extent for the partial failure ol other crops, sin h as corn, oats, etc. Foster, the weather forcaster, says "Indications are that September will be the hot month of the summer in most parts of the country. The backward con dition of the crops will need that warm September for maturing, particularly in the northern States. Frost is expected very far south not far Irom Septoinber 23." D.

At Celeron last Wednesday night, Miss Irene Boardwell and Miss Ethel Boyd were dangerously injured lu the "loop-tho loop."

Miss Broad well's chest was crushed and Miss Boyd was Internally injured. These death- dealing contrivances furnish business for the surgeons and undertakers, but they likewise provide great amusement for the people, and therefore we must have them. An exchange very pertinently re marks: Often times children will show a hesitancy in their speech. It is often the case that they are using some muscles that effects the nerve of the vocal chords. Have tli child change his occupation for a month or so and see if there is any Improvement. Send him a.vay for a visit. Of course your Dliild is a little darling ud your neighbor's is the sassiest thing you ever saw. That is always the case. But did you ever go and visit the school room in which your child was and lind that he was not the smartest child there? It lakes the concoitout, doesn't itf Individually, of course, we look up on death as rather an unwelcome visitor. But if it were not for tlie Grim Reaper this world would be a mighty poor place for young men. Socrates might still be teaching philosophy in his bsre foet In the back alleys and Plato discoursing from his portico. Alexander the Great would bo ruling Persia and Caesar lead ing his victorious legions. Besides, tl.e old fogies would bn so largely in the mi nority that progress would be impossi ble. And then if all the people who ever inhabited this globe wore here yet the world would be so much crowded that there would be no room for us. After all death is a great Institution.

If the closet be of any length whatever a number of dresses, coats, waists and skirts may be support ed on thia pole by means of coat hangers. If the ordinary stylo of hangor is used a separate one is required for each waist and skirt, but there are improved tyj es which easily accommodate both waist and skirt. In such a closet it is easy to keep the clothes in good condition and also an easy matter to find any particu lar garment.

Hunter. Through tho courtesy of Rev. Dr. Rumberger, we publish the following 8 '(etch of our late friend, Miss Clara E. II outer, which was gi von by liiin at the fuueral services, Sabbath afternoon, Clara E. Hunter, daughter of Dr. W. F. and Elizabeth Holeinan Hunter, was born In Rockland, Venango county, Pa., January 13, Ik-17, and "loll asleep" July 15, 1IH4. The whole ol her earthly lite except the time she spent in acquiring a collegiate education and a few years teaching, was lived within the bounds of what was originally Venango county her parents, after a short slay in Rock land, returning to Tionsta, theu a part of Venango county now the county scat of Forest county. It is a good thing in every way to he born well, and sister Clara enjoyed the advantage of good birth from both the paternal and maternal Bide, the Hunters and Holeinaiis being among the most highly respected of the pioneer families of this section of the State. But better still, the enjoyed the incomparable advantage of early birlh into the King dom of God. In eaily life she sought and found favor with her Lord and hav ing identified herself with the Methodist Episcopal church, she continued faithful to the profession she had made until the Master deeming her probationshlp suf ficient said, "Come up higher." And so, In the providence of God, on Friday, July 15th, she was not, for "God took tier" home to himself. Tho life story of our departed sister, Is tlie record of faithful preparation for work, faithful discharge of duties as sumed and faithful submission to the will of the One whom she gladly owned as master. After a lull collegiate course, she graduated in 1371 from the Beaver Female College, and for some time held the position of instructor in ber Alma Mater, Prior to this, she had taught in the public schools of Forest county. Some one has said that it is only when "bruised and crushed that the fragrance if the rose is fully brought out," and the royal poet, David, finds himself praising God for the aflliotions which have de veloped the highest good in him. So It may have been that ibe years ol suf fering endured by our patient sister, Clara, developed the grand, lovable traits ol character which gained for her tlie ad miration and loving respect of all who knew her. For years she lived under the pall ol suffering no day exempt from discomfort yet in all that time, no mur muring word escaped her lips, her cheer ful smile ever testifying to the bright ness of the "inner light" the supporting presence of the"iudwelling Holy Spirit." As friends of the deceased, and of the family, we gather to-day to pay the last tribute of respect to one whose life exem plified every christian grace. Wo come not as mourners. The ending ol her eartli 1 pilgrimago was the ending of a life of pain, Her life's course for so many years had been so thickly bestrewn with thorns that surely the coming of the Messenger whom the Father sent to summon her homo was the bearer of "Glad tidings" of happy deliverance from a world's woes into a kingdom of inedible peace and rest. So we come to pay our tribute of respect aud we say in our hearts, "Sister, we extend our heartiest congratulations. Thou bast eutered into rest." Duriug those long nights when bleep was driven away by pain, how she looked for the hour when God's good ploasuro having been served in her, she would be "released from the body to bo forever with the Master whom she loved" in that laud where the inhabitants never say, "I am sick," that land of "unclouded day" where there is neither sorrow nor sigh ing, where God himself shall wipe away all tears. We cannot sorrow for what must be "everlasting joy" to her, for although surrounded by loving friends whose pleasure it was to anticipate and min ister to her every waut, yet were ber days full of weariness and paiu. In the church record where her name has boon recorded these many years a new entry will be made "Died in the Lord," but the angels have been saying ever siuco last Friday evening, "Behold she lives for- overmore." Uer days wore clouded by suffering, but at "evening time" there was a "groat light." It was my good fortune as pastor and friend of the family, to havo an Intimate knowledge of the Christian life of sister Clara. And it is not in tlie way of lulsume eulogy, but ofa woll-desorvd tribute to tlie christian life of the departed, as well as duo testimony to tho faithfulness of tho Friend who makes good his promise, 'Lo, I am witli you even unto tho end," that I have spoken of tlie assurance that death to our sister moaut a victorious en try into the land ol light and life. "I go to prepares place for you, that where I am, there ye may bo also" lhat promise whicli brought peace to the troubled hearts of tho disciples was suf ficient to cheer and comfort the heart of Ibis patient sufferer, for she folt that these light afflictions which do indeed appear grievous, were working out iu ber and lor her "an exceeding and eternal weight of glory." Sister Clara had tried, fully tested the religion of the Blessed one in the most crucial way. Hers was no holiday experience the stoop hill climbing and the darksome deserts where, had thore been no whispering palm tree's grateful shade or "Ellin's wells of wator," her soul would have fainted with dis couragement. But iu the darkest hour she rested in Him who had promised, "I will never leave then nor forsake tlieo," and abundantly situ lealized the promise, "Thy grace is sufficient for then." Such a life sp jiiks fur more eloquently unil emphatically lltati any sermon of tho 'exceeding riches" of tho ttrauu which GodgivustJis trusting child iu Christ Josiis. May tho rich lesson of this life so full ol loving trust not bo lost upon thoso who have known mid respected litis one whom God hns railed hoii.e. On S.ililialh afternoon, a Inrge number of friends met at the beautiful Hunter residence at 2 o'clock, when the funeral services wore conducted by Miss Hun ter's pastor, Rev. O. II. Nickle, assisted by a former pastor and friend. Rev. C. C. Rumberger. Her body was borne away from In r late home, amidst a prolusion of Moral offerings hy Messrs, J. P. Grovo, W. W. Grove, A.
