' Iu connection with State Treasurer
Berry's policy of paying tlie state school
appropriation, Is an Interesting statement
made from Hnrrlsburg to the effect that It
has been the moans of losing the state
some twenty thousand dollars interest
without conferring any corresponding
benefits upon tlie school districts of the
state. This looks like reform of a rather
expensive brand. If it is a fact that the
various districts have no particular use for
the money until the fall term of school
opens, the old practice of delaying tlie
payments until the money is needed,
might be returnod to with profit by "Lid
Lifter" Borry.
Tlie first requisite for business suc
cess Is to establish a reputation for the
prompt payment of all bills. No man
will succeed iu business unless he is
thoroughly honost and pays his bills
cheerfully, and with au apology rather
than a yammer. A man who does not
take pride In giving to every man his
duo cannot maintain a standard of re
spectability iu the community iu which
he resides. Young iiihu just eutorlng
business should have this truth forcibly
impressed upon them, for credit is tlie
best part of any man's capital, and with
out a reputation for the prompt payment
of his debts it is impossible to establish
that coufideuce which one good business
man should have Iu another. Punxy

John Charleston Dies From Accident.
John Charleston, a citizen for ninny
years of Tionesta, was fatally injured on
Thursday evening last, while driving
down an old road on Tubbs Run with a
load of ties, He was seated on fop of the
load when crossing a bridge when the
braces underneath gave way, tipping the
wagon completely over, and throwing
Mr, Charleston violently to the ground.
The accident happened within a few rods
of the home of Martin Saulsgiver, who,
with bis son, and Mr. Charleston's son,
James, were almost immediately present
and gave what assistance they could
The Injured man had s'ruck his right
side Just above the hip against a stone or
some hard substance, and was so pain
fully hurt that be had to be carried to his
home, a distance of about two miles, on a
cot. Physicians were summoned, but it
was Impossible to determine at once
whether he had sustained any internet
injuries, Friday night Dr. Siggins, of
Oil City, was called in consultation, and
on Saturday morning an operation was
determined upon as the only chance of
saving Mr, Charleston's lite. It was
found that tbe concussion had been so
great as to rupture the bladder; and con
ditions were such as to render surgical
skill unavailing, and at 10:30 the unfor
tunate man passed away.
The death of Mr. Charleston, especially
under such distressing circumstances was
a great shock to this whole community,
where be was so well known and much
respected. He was born near Stockholm,

25 he came to this country locating first
at Youugsville, Pa, Iu 1874 he camo to

Charles, Benjamin, James, Huldah, El
len, Anna and Harrison. Besides those
children the deceased is survived by hs
widow, one brother, August, a well
known resident of tills vicinity, and a
brother and sister in Sweden. Mr
Charleston was a tnemberof the Lutheran

hood iu Sweden.
The funeral services were held at the
family home Sundiy afternoon at 2:30,

Mr. Charleston was one of our best
citizens, quiet and unassuming but pos
sessing all the qualities of a good man
He will be greatly missed by a large circle
of friends. The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to tbe widow and
children in their Bad bereavement. "

RECENT DEATHS.
CHRISTINA S, OSOOOI).
The subject of this sketch, who died at
the residence of her ton, J, Edward Os
good, on Monday, Aug. 13, 1008, at East
Hickory, widow of Hiram Osgood, who
died on January 21, 18S0, was an old resi
dent of tills county. Hor maiden name
was Christina Shelace, and she was born
September 11, 1832, at Roherda, Hesse
Cassel, (iermany. Coming to this coun
try with her uncle, Bernard Bush, in a
sailing ressel when right years of age,
she might be called a life long resident of
Pennsylvania. The voyage was made In
seven weeks, which was considered to be
great speed in those days, but very slow
compared with tlie voyages now made in
as many days. She left Germany about
May 1st, landing in Baltimore in July.
Went thence to Pittsburg by canal boat
and up tlie Allegheny River to what is
now Nebraska in a lumber wagon. These
journeys are given to show the hardships
and difliciilty of travel in those early
days and are Interesting at the present
time. Site remained in hor uncle's family
one year and lived in the family of A. B.
Root one year. In 1811 she went to Ross
Run, living in the family of Atnasa
Purdy, an old pioneer of happy memory,
where sue remained for six yea's; thence
coming to Tionesta, and lived in tlie fam
ily of Robert McBiide, whereslie married
Hiram Osgood in 1851, the wedding tak
ing place at West Hickory, Oct. fith, Wm.
Siggins, J. p., officiating. This history
of her life is indeed interesting, as it re
calls tbe names of i lie pioneers Forest
county worthies who made "the desert to
blossom as tho rose," and whose memory
is revered to this day by their numerous
descendants.
She had eight children, all of whom
mrvive her cave one, viz: Jennie H,,
intermarried with W, F. Jones, who died
Dee. 3, 1888. The names of the surviving
children areas follows: George W. and
John R., of Tionesta; William L. and
Warren B., of Kingsley twp.j Mrs. La
vinia Rudol h, of Endeavor; Mrs. Annie
Behrens, of German Hill, and James
Edward, of Fast Hickory, all of whom
are numbered as descendants of an old
and respected family.
Mrs. Osgood's life was marked by en
ergetic attention to" her family and tbe
full perfoimance of all the duties and
responsibilities of a good woman and
was best appreciated by those who knew
her best. She was generous and hospita
ble and had a kindly interest in the wel
fare of others aud of course the retained
a large circle of steadfast friends all
through ber exemplary and usolul life.
In faitb she was a Christian and from
early lite was a devoted aud consistent
member of theGormau Reformed church,
Tbe funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Dr. Slonaker, takes place today,
Wednesday, the interment being in the
Evangelical church cemetery, German
Hill, beside her beloved husband. She
Is mourned by her relatives and her
memory will be cherished by hosts of
friends, s. n. i.
In this connection the family of the de
ceased desire us to express their grati
tude to the friends and neighbors at East
Hickory and Endeavor for tlie many acts
of kindness shown their mother during
her last illness.
FREDERICK LACY.
Many Forest county Irionds will sym
pathize with Mr. Frederick C, l acy, ol
Philadelphia, in the death of his son,
which occurred last week while on a visit
to relatives at Erie. The Evening Times,
ol the 8th lust., has tbe following account
of the young man's death :
"The death of Frederick Lacy, Jr., at
the home of his aunt, Mrs. Chester W.
Stranahan, at 4 o'clock this morning, Is
one of those strange providences that can
never be solved on earth. He was the
son of Frederick C. Lacy, of Philadelphia,
and came here a few weeks ago to spend
bis summer vacation, as bad been bis
custom for several years. He was 15
years of age, cheerful and sunny in dis
position, and dearly loved by all who
knew him. He was always desirous of
doing some kindness for someone and it
seems such a strange thing that so sweet
and pure a life, with so much of useful
ness and helpfulness ahead of it, should
be thus suddenly cut off. It is only a
fow days ago that the young man was

An Oxford
There's a stir among the Men's, "Women's,
Misses' and Children's Oxlords.
We would rather count money than Ox
lords. J udging from appearances we must have
too many Oxfords by about 1,000 feet, all good
styles and bought this season, but they don't
want to be counted. They would rather be on
somebody's feet, and our low prices will put
them there.
