Mrs. Carrie Petrikin, aged abou
sixty years, dropped dead at her hom,
in Benezette, last Friday. She wa:
apparently in her usual good health
that day, and about the house working
at the time of the sad occurrence. Mrs
Petrikin had lived in Benezette many
years and leaves large circle of rela
tives and friends to mourn her death
Her son, Winslow Petrikin, was in
Fort Worth, Texas, at the time of hel
death, and the news of the terrible be.
reavement was telegraphed to him
That evening words came flashing
back over the wires from tile Lone
Star State TO the effect that Winslow
Petrikin had received the message
from BeneZette, and started on the
long journey to attend the funeral ser.
vices of his beloved mother. The re-
mains of the deceased lady passed
through here on Saturday evening OH
the way to Lock Haven for burial.
The funeral will take place in that
city to-day, Thursday ).-DrVtvood

Mr.. Hoar spoke coldly and with
out apparent passion when Mr.. Conh-
ling's nomination was read, but the
Senators who listened were under the
most intense excitement. When he
had finished, says the Ney York Su,
correspondent, no one in the chamber
seemed to care to reply in Mr.. Conk-
ling's defense but Don Cameron aud
John P. Jones, and they could not. II
Senator Logan had been present, there
would have been q vigorous response.
Only one point in the speech reported
in the newspapers on the day follow
ing the delivery appears to have been
wrong Mr.. Hoar did not liken Mr..
Conkling to Mr.. Webster. He merely
said that of all the public men he
knew, Mr.. Conkling used words more
adroitly than any one. except Webster

The following sensational item is
from the Brockwayville correspondent
ofthe Dubois Courier; On Wednesday
22d, our little town was thrown into
great excitement by report that
some raftmen had discovered the BODY
Of an infant floating on the water in
Clark's pond. Several men started
for the described place and soon were
seen returning with the little mystery
in a paper bag. Squire Greene placed
it in care of r. A. McElheny, under
taker, until examination. The sack
was taken 10 his room and when
opened displayed large well-formed,
but perfectly nude. infant. AS is usual
in such cases some one is always ready
to point the finger ofsuspicion in some
direction, but nothing definite is
known. 1t is to be hoped that the au
thorities will not allow a little ex-
pense to deter them from attempting
to trace out the mystery, and perhaps
they will be the means of bringing to
light hideous and unnatural crime.

Ridgway Business Men.
Cameron Press,)

Ridgway is "a pleasant, thriving
town, but If we were to judge the place
by their home papers, we would say it
was the " deadest town on the line
Of the p. & E. road. We do not mean
to say that the papers are deficient in
any respectively are good, live jour
mails; well conducted, and jealous in
their efforts to build up the town and
develope the material interests of the
county, but they receive little or no
encouragement from the business men
in the way of newspaper advertising.
In the ADVOCATE we find few bust,
ness locals, seven business cards, one
hardware and one livery stable adver-
tisement. In the Democrat there are
nine business cards; one dentist ad.;
one planning mill ad.; one hardware
store; one foundry, and-and-one
cemetery advertisement, the remain
der of the advertising space being fill
ell with foreign advertising and legal
notices. Our Driftwood, Sterling Run
and Cameron neighbors give the Press
more advertising than the Ridgwa ay
business men give both their papers,
and we find in one issue of the Drift
wood Gazette more home advertising
than both the Ridgway papers pub
lish in one year. The business men of
Ridgway should simply be ashamed
of themselves.

de-spitting minstrel entertainment
Fred. Patton, the electric snare drum
mer; Mr.. L. w. Newlands, American

one individual would be impartial, as
one and all carried their different
characters through to perfection. But
Mckillop & Brown and cNearney
Bros. are hard to surpass. McClos-
key close your Valver is good song,
and " Jim" is just one of the boys
that can take it all in, he being one of
the heartiest applauders in the audi

After the Grafton on Monday Mr..
Blaine told friend that he had feared
in the morning that he would not be
able to get through without giving
way. When complimented on his
description of murderer in the first
of his oration, as being SO accurate a
picture of Garfeld's assassin, he said
it was quotation from a speech by
Daniel Webster in a famous murder
trial in New England. Many who
heard it though 1t original, aud sugges-
ted wholly by the cold-blooded career
of Guiteau.

Burglarized.
Warren Ledger.)

The Warren postofiice was burglar
lied last Sunday morning. They
effected an enterance through the back
door and drilled hole through the top
of the safe, with the Intention of put
ting in powder and blowing open the
safe. But there being cans filled
with water i'm the safe, put there by
the builders for the purpose of creating
the preservation of valuables, they
were unable to explode the powder.
There were large amount of stamps
in the safe which were wet by the
water, some Of which were saved,
while the remainder will have to be
exchanged. The burglars succeeded
in gathering trfle from the money
till of the postot1ice, and about seven
teen from Louis Wall1ernan, who
keeps cigar and stationary store in
the postoflice' Burglars are mistaken
in supposing any large amount of
money is kept in the postoflice safe.
II is deposited as rule. Mr.. Robin
son, the barber, was on his way home
at about four o'clock on Sunday morn
ing, and passing the postollice noticed
two men inside. Supposing them to
be the clerks, he ratified the door, call
ed their names, and passed on. No
doubt it was about this time that their
work wits proven a failure, and they
left. Where was the night watchnian ?
Well, there was soD,e trouble in the
lower part Of the town and he had
been called away. One man cannot
be every here.

LAYMoN On Friday afternoon, Feb.

daughter Of AL. Laymon. aged 8
years, 10 months, and % days.
The child had attended Miss Barrett's

Friday. An unusually bright an in
teresting child, she will be missed by

sympathy of the entire community.
JENNIE.
Down where the willow is weeping
Close to the rivers broad breast,
With the sweet violets sleeping,
Jennie has gone to rest;
Gone to her rest as the flower
Folds its bright petals at even;
Gone to her rest as the star
Fades in the glory Of heaven.
Spirit so pure and so holy
Soon didst thou weary Of earth,
Longing to fold thy bright pinions
In the sweet land OF thy birth,
Oh, / shall miss thee when spring time
Comes in its beauty again,
And with It's sweet scented treasure
Covers the hillside and plain.
And when the bright golden summer
Comes In her glory once more,
Oh, shall miss thy sweet presence
Miss thy light step on the floor.
But all In vain are yearnings
And all in vain are my tears,
Never again shall greet thee
Not through the long coming years.
But when life's short dreams are over
And shall go TO my rest,
Then once again shall meet thee
In the sweet land OF the blest.
