—James Powell, of Penu township, met
with a severe accident on Christmas day.
just as he was starting on a hunt. He was
standing at the corner of the house talking
to some neighbors, and had rested the
muzzle of his gun 011 the toe of his right
foot, when ho accidentally touched the
trigger and the gun exploded, blowing oil'
the second toe, and cutting the other.-.
It was a very painful wound.
—On the arrival of the P. A W. train
from Butler Monduy morning the remains
of Mrs. Margaret Ross, a former resident of
this city, were taken for interment to
Greenwood cemetery. Mrs. Ro -. recently
lived at Allegheny, but it was during a
visit at Martinsburg, Butler Co., that she
died Saturday. The deceased was 83 years
old. She was a relative of the Xewell
family, of this city.—Xcw Castle Macs.
—Xow is the time to tie together the
limbs of those trees, both fruit and orna
mental, that have made a long spreading
growth, and whose limbs fork out. By
tying al the limbs together about a foot
up from where they leave tho trunk, they
are prevented from breaking or splitting
down with the snows and ice storms of
winter, as well as by strong winds. Use
a stout, soft string, and it will not cut into
or chafe the tree.
—The year 1880 has passed into history.
Tho first sensation of tho year was the
Samoan affair, then came tho White
Cap outrage*, then the Soldiers'

auguration (March 4); the Washington
Centennial; tho Cronin murder; tho Okla
homa riots; the Johnstown disaster (May
31); the Prohibition election (June 18); the
Brown-Scquard elixir fizzle; tho Gettys
burg meeting; Brazil proclaimed a Repub
lic, and lastly the influenza and a green
Christmas.
—"Don't worry, and don't cross the
bridge until yon come to it." This is good
advico and the man who follows it will be
a sunshiny sort of fellow, with a cheery
way about him that must have its effect
and influence on all with whom he asso
ciates. But, says one, it is easy to talk.
To not worry is almost an impossibility,
and "trifles light as nir" often cause the
most worry. But nevertheless don't wor
ry. It does no good, does not help mat
ters in the least. Tako things as they
como, which you will be compelled to do
anyhow, whether you worry or not. Read
tho CITIZKW and be happy.
—The Gerthude Happ, of the Eeonomite
Society, who died a few days ago, was the
only daughter of George Rapp, the founder
of the society. Geo. Rapp's only sou died
at Harmony many years ago. After the
Economites left Harmony they spent sever
al years in Indiana before locating 011 the
banks of tho Ohio. When tliey left Har
mony they sold all their property iu that
vicinity to old Mr. JCeigler, who afterwards
rued his bargain and wanted them to take
tho land back; but they advised him to di
vide it into small farms and put tenants on
each piece who would keep sheep, and he
would get through; and he did so and
came out all right.
—Mrs. Sadie Ann McGinty, the relict of
the late lamented Dan McGinty, says she
is fully convinced that her missing spouse
is not at tho "bottom of tho say," where
popular belief locates him, lint she feels
sure that he has gone across the water
with some fair charmer. Mrs. McGinty is
a woman of energy and ingenuity, and
she docs not propose to allow the recreant
Dan to escape HO easily by his submarine
subterfuge, so she lias planned to follow
him even to the uttermost part* of the
earth. She will not bring bim back if she
shall find him, but she proposes to give
hiui a piece of her mind and a touch of
her vigorous hand that will make his best
suit of clothes look worso than tho tatter
ed raiment that he cast aside when he
dressed himself in bis Sunday best before
ho went away.
—lt is a curious fact, says the Medical
i Record, that tho influenza prevailed in
America 0110 hundred years ago, and Dr.
John Warreu, in u letter to Dr. Lcttsom,
says that "our beloved President Wash
ington is but now recovering from a severe
and dangerous attack of it." In 1830 an
epidemic started in China, it reached Ras
sia in January, 1831, and by May it hud
spread to western Europe; but it only
reached this country in January, 1832, and
then prevailed but slightly. Another and
moro severe epidemic started in Russia in
December, 18.30; within a month it appeared
in London, and rapidly spread over Eu
rope. This time, again, America w.»s not
affected. An epidemic of considerable ex
tent prevailed in tho Fnited States about
ten years ago, and there have been various
mild manifestations of tho disease. On
tho whole, however, Xorth America does
not seem to bo very favorable to tho de
velopment of epidemic influenza in its
worst forms, and it is unlikely that we
shall liavo a severe visitation. Tho dis
ease is not dangerous, except sometimes to
children or the aged, while tho former
often show a decided exemption. Tho dis
ease is undoubtedly do to some microor
ganism which flouts iu the nir, and which
infects the human system, but it is gener
ally killed iu so doing. For influenza is
but slightly if at allTcontagious. Wo ob
serve that some fooling of alarm prevails
lest this epidemic be a precursor to cholera
as was the case in 1831 and 1847. There
have been, however, plenty of cholera epi
demics without a preceding influenza, and
a great many influenza epidemics without
any associate cholera. The micro-organ
isms of the two diseases lire as essentially
different as are the diseases themselves.
Tho cholera germ lives in water and soil,
the influenza germ iu the nir.
New Lumber Yard.
Six months ago Messrs I*. S. Nit-bolls
and L. M. Hewitt, under the firm name R.
S. Nicholls.t Co.,established a lumber und
coal yard near the WeA Penu depot. They
started out with a good stock of every
thing, their prices were low,and they have
succeeded beyond their brightest expecta
tions. They keep rough and planed lum
ber, doors, sash, blinds, shingles, lath and
everything in wood that goes to make up a
house, und have made a specialty of ship
ping and delivering to the neighboring
country.
They ulso built coal «!icii.- ,nd keep the
best of hard aud soft coal, which they de
liver on order. Both gentlemen are
old railroad men and are thoroughly eon
vorsant on freight rates, which enable
them to buy to the best advantage aud ■-ell
at tho lowest possiblo figures. The next
time you need some rough or manufactur
ed lumber, or bard or -soft coal, they will
be pleased to show you their go,.ds and
quote you prices.
Oil Field Notes.
Phillips Xo. 1. on the Wagner farin,
reached the .-and last week, and is a pa- -er.
lie i- drilling two lanreon the Xegley, and
one each on the Byerly, Barn heir*, Benn
■ wits and Wolfe. A telephone wire is being
run to the field.
Golden, MeCluug .L Co. intend drilling
iu Worth Twp. and have 1,000 acres leased.
The Christie Bros, are also leasing in that
Twp. and in l'laiugrove Twp.
Lntehaw A Co. have a rig np 011 the Mr-'.
Mitchell place, a mile X. E. of Harmony.
Frederick .t Co. are drilling on Hie Jacob
Endre- farm, .oath of Zelienople.
It is reported that the crowd that own
the Wilson farm well and adjoining leases
have been offered $40,000 to step out.
McClnng A ('■>. on the K. W. Xesbit,
formerly owed by B. M. Duncan, reached
the sand Saturday and began spraying oil.
The showing is good.
It was reported in onr streets. Monday,
that the Artcr's well 011 the lieriuger farm
in Centre twp. was flowing. Some of our
people went .mt ;:nd found that they had
some oil there, and that the driller.: were
moving the boiler.
All abandoned \ffld-eat well on the John
Kennedy farm in Adams twp. began flow
ing last week.
1 »r. W. J. Kelly formerly of Parker twp..
John Bracken of Greenville and Judge
Stewart of Paintsville, Ky. have some val
uable interests in heavy-oil field of John
son, Magoflin and Morgan counties in ca.-t
--ern Kentucky. They have several hun
dred acres leased, and have two wells
down and doing 10 barrels each of oil that
sells readily at $lO a barrel. Mr. Kelly
speaks of the country there as being very
rich in mimcrals and lumber.
TheJuffOil Co. 011 the Loyal Welsh
reached the sand last week, and began
pumping Wednssday.
The well on J. S. Hay's farm, and ad
joining the Cable to tho East, reached the
sand Tuesday and is looking good.
At Glade Rnn —Phillips Xo. 2 well on
the Irwin is put at 10 bbls, and his Xo. 3
on the Emory is pumping 7.") bbls.
On Saturday last Taylor A Co. were of
fered $50,000 for their property on the
Cable farm, and refused it.
I'hillips' well on the Loguo, south of
Coylesville, made two flows Saturday; and
he completed a fifteen bbl. well on '.he
Wagner, Great Bell Field, same day.
During December sixty-three wells wore
completed in Butler Co., and the produc
tion of the whole Oil field as compared
with that of November showed a decrease
of fifteen-hundred bbls. There arc 132 well;
drilling in the county and 84 new rigs are
up. Speaking of the outlook the Derrick
of Wednesday says:
The new year of the great petroleum in
dustry begins under the most auspicious
circumstances, and never iu its history,
all things concerned, has the outlook been
no brilliant and glorious. There is 110 th
ing in the situation but encouragement for
the producer, and from one end of the
whole circle of oildom to the other bullish
features predominate. Nothing of a mark
ed character has transpired in any section
of the field, by way of new developments.
The gushers o prominent iu the begin
ning of last month are now conspicuous
for their absence. Treacherous Bakers
town oli the first of December came to the
front with a big well, but all subsequent
events in this locality have not maintain
ed the reputation of the geyser indicated.
The Southwest has mainly borne out this
state affairs and the waning tendency of
this exalted section is now viewed with
grave apprehension by the producer.
Mount Morris has not added one. tithe to
her prospective greatness, but on the con
trary has rather detracted from her repu
tation.
Washington and 'faylorstown still con
tinue to decrease in production and many
of the wells have fallen off to such an ex
tent that abandonment is seriously con
sidered by the owners. Tho fifth sand de
velopment seems the only hope of rejuve
nation so to speak, and generally speaking
this horizon has proved as treacherous as
the other sand of] this locality. .\ month
ago Shaunopin gave promise of big things,
but here, as elsewhere, large production
failed to materialize. However, it must
be admitted that the digging in this part
of Beaver county is from fair to middling,
which, under the bullish situation, has
inspired the large amount of new work
here. Butler county's pretentions lie iu
the hundred foot territory, which has been
slightly extended und in tho main is pro
lific in this horizon. Southwest Brush
Creek, especially in tho section of Duff
City, is in the soup, if tho recent develop
ments are any criterion.
The Crafton field lias by no means met
the expectations of its most sanguine ad
herents, while West Virginia is still a cost
ly conundrum. Venango and Clarion in
common with the other districts, show a
dropping off. The Northern and Middle
fields are also iu the same category. The
figures show a decrease of about 1,500 bar
rels of production, while the new work
also falls oil.

Etui of the Kelly Matter,
, Since Saturday morning the connty ha
had but two Commi- doner . a on that day
Mr. Kelly banded bis written resignation
to his a ociate ■. Then he gave tliein a
■ talking to, accusing thein of . tting a trap
for him, and telling Mr. Hutchinson that
as a minister of the gospel he had not done
liis duty towards him, anil Mr. Dili: .111
that he had not done h!.- duty towards him
as a,fellow church member: which, consid
ering Mr. Kelly's pretensions und the
trouble regarding tin- duplicate:. Mime
IHI I sun, was rather MB-ing. Ami o
ended Mr. Kelly's career a a public
officer, and as he is in good circumstances,
is worth from fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars, his conduct in the office is almost
inexplicable.
The next thing will lie the appointment
to fill the vacancy, and Mr. Louden, who
was on the ticket with Kelly; Col. Kerr, of
llarrisville; Messrs Pringle, Mci'rea and
Mnrriu, of Butler; Eli Graham, of Jeffer
son twp.; Flemming West, of Cranberry
twp., and Ed Duffy are said to lie appli
cants. Whoever is appointed will receive
93.50 a day under the new law, and to re
ceive the appointment he must have voted
lor Kelly as the last clause of See. 7, of
Art. XIV of the State Constitution reads
as follows:
"Any casual vacancy iu the office of
County Commissioner or County Auditor
shall be filled by the Court of Common
Pleas of the county in which such vacancy
shall occur by the appointment of an elec
tor of the proper county who shall have
voted for the Commissioner or Auditor
whose place is to be tilled."
Judging from a note we have received
from Prospect, some people of the county
think it strange that Commi -donors Dun
can and Hutchison did not make informa
tion again t. Kelly, or in other words begin
criminal proceedings against him. When
Kelly acknowledged his crime* and asked
his associates for mercy, they yet had a
kindly feeling for him, and they told him
that if 110 would refund the money taken
from the county and then resign his office
they would not prosecute. Hut alter Kel
ly began to bully them, they told him they
did not care whether IK; resigned or not
and were willing that theii official acts
should receive the most searching investi
gation. Kelly saw lit to band in his resig
nation within the specified time and his
former associates will live up to their un
derstanding with him, but any taxpayer of
the county can begin proceedings anytime
within two year.-.

The Pittsburg Dispatch.
The wonderful growth and popularity of
theSumla, Kilition, which ha; attained a
bona tide circulation of considerably over
50,000. The matter selected for the liter
ary column of the mammoth twenty page
Sunday issne is supplied by scores of con
tribntftrs of the highest merit and reputa
tion. Each number i-° a monster magazine
of choicest pen productions, as well as an
accurate an exhaustive chronicle of cur
rent news. The special Cable Letters and
the Spoiling an.l Business Reviews are
also attractive features of the Sunday issue.
It is a newspaper for the people and the
home circle. With the New Year comes
new features.
The Daily issne of the which
has ever maintained the lead, will contin
ue to offer the best tilings going in the
news lino Its reliable market reports,
vast news-getting (including leased wires
to all the principal points, with hujeaus ill
the chief cities,) and its earnest, progres
sive and independent policy, has earned
for it a National reputation and made it a
household word ill Western I'eiuisylvania
and lias team Ohio.
With the New Year the already large
facilities enjoyc I by the Ihxjiatrh for pro
dncing a progressive Nineteenth Century
newspaper will be added to. The rapidly
growing circulation of both the Daily and
Sunday issues has necessitated the build
ing of another marvelous double perfect
ing press for its already well-equipped
press-room, lice A Co. will soon place
this wonderful machine alongside of the
other swift press, thereby giving the Ihx
jmlcli publi hing facilities only enjoyed by
a few of the metropolitan plants. The
improvements in other departments will
be on a scale in keeping with this extraor
dinary addition to the advantages enjoyed
by the Dix/xilcli.

f I and 17.
1 lEST SBSMUM
In the ab ence of the present, Kev.
I' M Small was cho en chairman and de
; livered the address of welcome. He bade
• all welcome to the churches and homes of
! the place. The future of the church, he
i aid, depends upon the Sabbath School,
• and surely yon will help to low the good
: seed.
UeV. J. M llazlett responded: We
come because the Sahhath School is a
I good institution, and we shall surely be
blest iu our meeting.
' llow prepare for teaching in the Sab
bath School." Kev. Mitllin .->aiJ the con
secration of the teacher is the very thing,
i and the study of God's word.
Mr- Hecknian said our every day life
I exerts a greater influence than we may
, ever know this side of eternity; hence we
are to teach by example. Teach that
I hri -t ii able to save every one who will
come to him. aud that there is nothing
so valuable as the soul.
liev. I>r. Pershing said begin early to
gather facts and illustrations. Investigate
independently; study Scripture by Scrip
ture.
J. W. Orr said, get the leading points
1 that belong to tho lesson; think of the
things yon need to help you teach.
••How can we induce pupils to make a
more thorough study ol the lesson at
home." Kev. Ila/leit: Parents should
help them, and teachers should visit the
pupils and talk about the lesson. Kev.
Kerns recommended to give a list of ijues
tions for the class to answer on the follow
ing Sunday.
I>. and Kev. Stark thought best
to let the class understand that they can
help the teacher; aloe let them ask <)ues
tions about the lesson.
J. W. Orr: Cse the lesson for reading
during the week at family prayers, keeping
it before the children till they become
familiar with it.
SECOND SFCSSIO.V
Kev. Stark showed how to conduct Bilde
class reading and Sunday school work.
Kev. Hazlctt spoke of special hours lor
prayer.
Kev. Small alluded to the benefit of the
use of tin' Chautauqua system of Bible
study.
••How to induce better attendance at the
Sunday school by parents ami adult." Rev.
Mitllin: Let all"(eel it their duty to study
the word of God.
Kev. llazlett said those who are not
church members ought, to attend Sunday
school.
YL'KSTION EOS.
llow much time should he occupied iu
review? L. C. Miller: Make it as brief as
possible; impress one fact.
What harm iu taking the les.sou help in
to elasst Rev. Hazlctt: It crowds the
Bible out.
How can the singing be conducted so all
the children will join? Rev. Kerns suggest
ed to have some one teach them a few
weeks. Kev. Small suggested the use of
blackboard by a leader until all would be
come familiar with the pieces.
Would it lie well to have a committee of
young folks to increase the attendance of
the Suuday school? E. 11 Adams said
better have both old and young.
How can we best cultivate a benevolent
spirit in the Sunday school? T. (!. Camp
bell: (let the school interested; get up
enthusiasm; have them feel that they are
doing gcod. J. W. Orr thought they
should know what becomes of the money,
aud report also the success and Ihe good .t
is doing. Kev. Small showed how each
one can educate a heathen to preach for
bim by sending money to educate them.
Kev. Stark said teach the children to give
systematically.
TIIIIC!' .SKSSIO.N.
"W hv aud to what extent should tem
perance LIE taught in HID Sunday school?"
Kev. Starks: Because of its necessity to
the church it should be taught to the ex
tent of influencing the youug.
Kev. Kerns insisted on teaching temper
mice in all thing, especially to the youug,
to whom the church looks for its future,
and upon teaching it so that your pupils
will not feel that you are forcing it upon
them.
J. W. Orr showed the amount of rum
shipped to Africa to be K.OOO casks; showed
what the foreigner was lbistiug on us, and
the danger to our Sabbath, to our sons and
daughters, and how all must be given up
to please the immoral God hating bad men;
showed that conservatism i; only handing
over your best boys and girls to the enemy;
teach it because it's the duty to teach it,
and no parleying about it.
Kev. llazlett thinks w.» should talk of it
in our homes, to our neighbors; spoke of
being temperate iu the use of tobacco;
teach total prohibition; teach by example;
teach it for the good we can do our nation.
Mrs. Ileincr spoke of her experience in
teaching a class—asking her class of boys
to inake a pledge, and the interest they
took in keeping it, mid the safeguard it
threw around them.
Kev. Small gave his experience with
tobacco and drink. Showed how many
men and women are dying by inches from
the use of tobacco.
J. AV\ Orr said the Sunday school was
the place to teach the principles we so
much need, because the press is too liberal
in its views. What is the church to lie in
the future? Just as yon make it in the
Sunday school.
Kev. Mitllin said, we are not aggressive
enough in bringing the world to Christ.
Rev. Small spoke of guarding against
spiritualism. •
Mr. Fithian spoke of teachers in the
common schools counteracting the good
the children received in Sunday school by
teaching inlidelity,spiritualism and heresy.
Kev. Garner spoke of the importance of
studying the Bible.
Kev. Kerns said as we train the children,
so we have them for the world or the
church. They need the word of God to
help them in life.
The Secretary urged to greater efforts to
secure better attendance, better methods,
and above all that all study the word of
God more, as the good we receive there
from goes with us an aid iu life, and lits us
better for the future than all we may
gather while here, lie invited all who
to attend the annual convention at Evans
City, June, ISOO.
