A Bogus Marriage Notice.

A couple weeks ago we received n
Frankfort letter, containing marriage
notice of Mr. Conkle and Miss Steph.

by Robert Shannon. Thinking it all
right, we gave it place in orr col.

that we have been imposed upon. The
following letter fully explains itself:
FRANKFoRT, Pa, Mar. 26, 1871.
TO the Editor Of The Radical:
DEAR SIR IL see by your last pa.
per that you have launched my frail
bark upon the (to me unknown) sea of
matrimony. While reading that no.
tice l wondered, Mr.. Editor, if you
csGld he aware that you were being
duped by one of the meanest, most con-
temptible little bipeds of the male per-
suasion that has ever disgraced our
pleasant little borough. But, judging
from what know of you paper, you
you would not publish anything you
know to be false. Mr.. Editor, there
has been no wedding at our house; /
am not yet married, and, as far as |
know, am "ancy Free" and am still
likely TO remain so if all the young
gents are as bright and talented as the
one who has been treating you to this
pleasant little romance. What should
be done with this thing that thinks it
is such a smart young man? l have
told you my opinion of bin very plain
ly, and want every one to know it.
But you can write so much better than
can, who am but a poor bit of a girl
wish you would publish his name and
give him little advice of your own.
You may also tell him for me that most
girls, when they do marry, wish to
have husband who speaks nothing
but the truth. By so doing you will
greatly oblige Your friend,
FLORENCE STEPHENS.

Miss Mile Freeland, school teach
at Oleopolis, met with fatal accident
on Friday afternoon while engaged in
gathering flowers. The circumstances
of the case were as follows: After
school hours, Miss Freelond, in COM
pany with two little girls went to the
south part of the village of Oleopolis
for the purpose of gathering flowers,
and while attempting to cross small
stream few yards above the railroad
track, upon log which lay across it,
fell upon the rocks beneath it in such
manner as to cause almost instant
death. Her collar bone was found to
be broken, though the distance from
the log to where she fell could not ex-
ceed five feet. Miss Freeland laugh.
ingly made the remark TO her compan.
ions as they approached the log, that
"it would de good joke if they should
all fall off and get wet" the little
girls were not hurt.
Miss Freeland's parents reside in
Oil City. We learn she was very

loved by those who knew Titus

FOUND DEAD.-Last Saturday morn.
ing, 1st instant, the remains of man
named Joseph Meyer, were found on
the road, known as the mountain
road about four miles south of Cen.
terville, this county. When found,
the body was almost buried in the
mud, and was watched over by dog,
Mhich had accompanied the unfortu.
nate man, and, during the night, had
kept at bay pack of wolves, and
prevented them from devouringit; al
though nearly exhausted by his fear
ful vigil, it was with difficulty that he
could be induced to leave his dead mas
ter, or permit the body to be removed.
The deceased had been at Centreville,
the night before, with a team of horses
and a wagon, and had started for home
at about six o'clock. 1t is supposed
that he fell forward out of the wagon,
breaking his neck, and expiring with
out struggle; after he had fallen out
the horses went only few steps, run
ming against tree, where they were
found in the morning. He was a man
past middle age, and leaves a wife and
family to mourn his demise. Err Ad-
rocate.

Hickory oil region was FIRST discovered,
has prevailed among oil operators con-
cerning Cranberry oil territory, and
although lands unless directly in the

been Purchased or leased.
The well on the Milton Farm is ac-

We clip the following items from
tire Titusville Herald: .-
On Monday morning, Daniel Camp
bell, man who worked in the Gar
land quarry, was found with both legs
cut of, and the body badly mangled,
on the tack of the P. & +. railroad,
about three miles east of Cory. His
satchel lay near the body, and contain
ed some sausage meat, beefsteak, and
two bottles of whiskey. In one of his
pockets was found an under:aker's re.
ceipt for coffin. The theory is that
he fell off one of the trains while in a
state of intoxication. His home was
an Garland, where he leaves six moth
erless children, the oldest OF which is
only fifteen years of age.
A sad and fatal accident occurred
about two o'clock yesterday afternoon,
to the infant daughter of Mr.. John
Ross, who resides on the brow Of the
hill, south of Hoenig's brewery. 1t
appears that Mrs. Ross allowed her
little boy about years old, and her
little girl about Is months old, to 60
and play in the yard, and they had
not been gone more than five minutes
before the boy returned and said that
his sister had fallen into barrel near
ly full of water. The distracted moth
er pulled the child out, and Immediate
ly summoned Drs. Bailey and Varian,
to her assistance; all their efforts prov
ed unavailing, as the child was dead.
The barrel was sunk in the ground, 60
within almost ten inches of the top,
and the child must have ovarbalanced
herself and fallen in head first.
