DIED.:

In Lawrence township, Clearfeld county, of
consumption. on the 1lth inst, RICHARD C.
MEAD, in the 2ith year of his age.
He converted in his seventeenth year.
since which time he remained firm and faith
ful member of the NJ. E. church. In his
death his friends have sustained an irrepara-
BILE bereavement. Not murmur escaped his
lips during his illness. AS man he was en-
gagingly amiable, ingenious, and agreeable.
As christian, his piety was deep and uni
form. AS friend, he was warm, ardent and
confiding, and not less generous than constant.
In all these relations | knew him well, and can
therefore speak from the confidence of perso-
nal knowledge, and accredited information.
His intimate friends, however, were few and
well selected, his disposition being exceeding
ly reserved. He a student of Allegheny
College, and truly did he say, when asked what
shonld be said to his classmates, in case he
met them no more, ssTell them died Meth
odist." Such am sure he lived. The last
time saw him in health was in April. Little
did | think at this interview that his ripened
virtues were so soon to receive the rewards of
the heavenly world but so it was, and l., less
fit to die. am spared, perhaps another and an
other year. His dying testimony was too
clear to doubt for one moment his acceptance
with God. Well may it be said of him, ''that
religion which he had so long professed, was
sufficient to sustain him in dying hour" His
last words were s'glory, glory G.
On the 9TH inst, Mrs. HANNAH TATE, wife of
Joshua j. Tate, aged 49 years, m. and q d.
Having been converted to Christ at an early
age, she joined the NJ. E. church, and remain
ed an acceptable member till her death. Hum
BILE and consistent in her profession, kind and
affable in her disposition, tender and devoted
in her domestic relations, her loss is deeply
deplored. As wife, there is one living
whose tears have been her eulogy. AS mo-
ther she was worthy of her children, and in
pointing them to another and better world,
She was careful to lead the way herself. Du-
ring her illness, she seemed conscious that the
hour of her departure was drawing near, and
eyinced desire to depart.
She's gone-a weeping family mourns,
And all around in tears ] see,
But she's in biss-yet, oh grove,
For she on earth is lost to me- u

For the Inurnal


Rafting time is at hand. The business of
rafting is hard and laborious job. In order
TO save some hard work, venture some sug-
gestions to tie many raftsmen. I will men
tion the oars: as they are the main dependence.
VOW, to make good oar, you want TO study
the philosophy of it. 1t is the lever power
that makes it work the raft with ease / have
met with some men who said the lever power
Is OF no use, and good oar is way out in the
water; but such men are not the kind that 7
write to. and the quicker they kill themselves
with their club oars, the better. Now, you
that want to save your bones, make good oars /;
have them with as much lever in your favor as
possible; have broad blades, and light and
stiff stems. With good oar made right. a
man can work a raft with ease and one-third
the bone labor. With an oar that is longer
into the water than it is out, your strength oD-
crates as much to move the.raft back as for
ward: like as if you get into tub and try to
lift yourself up;by the handIes-your feet push
down as Much as your hands pull up. Or,
like boy whom saw once in my time. He
was in the bow of a skif, and it started out
from shore The stern was next to shore the
boy got the chain and pulled back like a fine
fellow, but the skiff went on out. He did not
know that his feet pushed as much out as his
hands pulled in. He was just such a philoso-
phcr as some of our oar-mlkers. Some of
them are under grandimistake by some means
or other; but it is a self-evident fact that the
oar with a leverage works more on the raft in
the direction you intend it, for if you are close
up to the oar pin your feet push back as much
as your hands push forward. a second tho't
will convince any of the truthfulness of
this fact l have experimental on this i'm
pOrtant and stubborn fact. like middling
straight oar--that is, the blade straight with
the stem-it takes the tightest hold in the wa
ter. B.F. CARR.

THz WINTER ABRoAD.-The Winter appears
to have been very severe in all parts of Europe.
The'papers by the Europa furnish the follow
ing items:
''In Scotland, man on his way 10 his we'd
ding was lost in the deep snow, and when
found was frozen to death, within a mile of
the residence 6shis bride. For the first time
in the present centurJ- the river Pc has been
frozen over at Ferrara, in Italy, for some time,
admitting the constant passage of man and
beast. The unusual severity of the Winter in
that part of Italy has caused great mortality.
Accounts from Asia Minor describe snow
storms, in one of which Greek monastery
was buried, and the five monks had to be ex-
cavated by the Turks. At Malta, the snow,
which had not fallen since the Russian cam
paign of 1872, was some feet high, and accom-
panied with hail and tempests.
A letter dated Constantinople, February 8,
says: sSnow has fallen, until yesterday,
without any interruption for fifteen days.
There has not been Winter of equal severity
for more than twenty years. The snow has
extended to Smyrna and the adjacent district
of Asia Minor, and even the Greek Islands
are clothed with white-an appearance most
unusual and remarkable. The navigation with
Odessa is entirely clossd. The disasters in
the Black Sea, Sea of MaTmora, and the neigh
borhood of the Dardanelles, have been numer-
Gus. The casualties have been chiefly among
native craft and Greek vessels but there have
also been a few losses of British ships. The
sufferings of the poor are very scute; their
habits and habitations are not prepared to re-
sist so inclement a season. Many !ofthe poor
est dwellings have tumbled down from the
weight of snow on their roofs, for they are
little more substantial than castles of card
board, and very few are weather-tight.''

LUMBER IRADE.-It appears that an enor-
NOUS amount of lumber has been hauled out
and prepared for market, during the past few
weeks; and, as the people in the lumber re-
glon are suffering from tightness in the mon
ey market, 1t is presumed that all the lumber on
hand will put into market at almost any price.
We copy the above item from the Middle
town Journal, of the 11th inst. Whether de-
signedly or otherwise, it is calculated to Gre
ate wrong impressions. The quantity of lum-
Der hauled out, if the remarks in the above
paragraph are intended to apply to this region.
is not SO s'enormous'' as to excite any alarm
here We have made inquiry into the matter.
and, as stated last week, we are well satisfied
that the quantity this season will not be quite
as large as usual. 1t is true enough that fl
nancial affairs are tight here-just as thev are
all over the country but still we do not ap-
FFehend that our lumbermen are so sshard up''
that they will put their stock into market ..at
almost any price, or at a sacrifice. If the
prospects are not favorable, many of our deal
ers are IN situation to keep their lumber at
home for another year, or run it to Port and
hoat 1t themselves. 1t is high time, we think,
that our iumbermen adopt some measures to
protect and control their business, and the
sooner they go at it, the better.
