--The Cnthollc Church sooietr about

under roof, the floor and gallery in.
The tower is to be 80 feet high, and
the structure when completed, will
cost $4,000 OF this amount e10, 1000
have been paid in, and all except $500
has been raised among the members of
that church, who comprise about fifty
families. 5000 was raised by picnics
given for the purpose. This will be
one of the most beautiful church struc-
lures in this section, when completed.
The priest of that charge, whose name
just now escapes us, has superintended
the whole affair, and will continue to
act in that capacity until the it is fin
ished. st. Mary's Chnrch is to be the
name Of the edifce. We do not know
of an instance where more energy,
selfdenial and generosity has been
manifested among any sect than in
this.
We learn from the Clarion papers
that sad accident occurred near FL
lison's mill on Monday 18th inst,
which resulted in the death of high
y esteemed young man, Clement Seig-
worth. He and some others were re-
building an oil derrick which burned
down few weeks ago, while at work
twenty-four feet up, plank gave way,
he fell down through the derrick tim
bers into the we'll which contained
nine feet of water. He was picked up
Immediately in comatose condition,
and remained so for nineteen hours
when death gave him relief. No
means were spared for his benefit, but
without success.
On Tuesday last, being in hurry
to get some of our mails off, we went
to see boy who had previously been
our Devil pro tenn, in other words had
rolled for us, when we were in hurry.
We interviewed him on the subject,
and he informed us that his father had
gone away leaving him some work to
do, and furthermore volunteered the
information that the paternal parent
was "a funny man that way" that
"when he goes away and leaves work
for me to do, aud l don't do it, he gets
mad" We came away, pondering
about the peculiarities of parents.
Decoration Day will be observed
here on Thursday of this week, 30th
inst. All are requested to contribute
flowers, which can be handed in to the
committee in the Court House grounds,
at 30 o'clock of that day. The pro-
cession, headed by the brass band, will
be formed at the Court House at 4
o'clock and march to the Cemetery,
to decorate the graves of soldiers who
died in the defense of their counry.
Let everybody attend punctually. q,
Maj. Goodman has returned from
his trouting expedition on the head
waters of the Tionesta, and we hear
that during his absence he safely
landed the enormous quantity of 1890 |
trout, some of them being eleven
inches in length. Some gentlemen
from Petroleum Centre, whose names
we did not learn, were with him. The
Major is an experienced hunter and
fisher, and bags as much game as the
next one, when he puts his mind to it.
Last week just after closing our
forms, letter was handed us from
Jas. Green, Esq, dated at Cincinnati,
and relating to the Liberal Conven-
tion recently held at that place. Had
we received the letter a few days
earlier, we should have made some ex-
tracts from it. In the communication
Mr.. Green predicts that the Democra-
cy will fall in with the Liberals, and
endorse Greeley, a prophecy which
seems likely to be fulfilled.
Robert Gillespie, son of c. F.
who has been sick for four
or five weeks, unable to get home,
desires to return thanks to the citizens
of Tionesta for kindness received at
their hands during his illness. Es.
pecially does he wish to express his
gratitude to Mrs. Riddle and family
for their care and attention to him.
Should it ever be in his power, he will
reciprocate in kind.

Jury in the United States Court and

Penitentiary, and to pay a fine of two
