Death of Mrs. Harriet strOup.

Mrs. Harriet Stroup, wife of John r.
Stroup of German Hill, died Wednesday
afternoon, Feb. 6, 1895, at the advanced
age of 20 years, 10 months and II days.
Mrs. Stroup, whose maiden name
was Webster, was born in the state
of Connectict on the 18th day of
April, 1918. She afterward moved to
Venango county, Pa. She was united
in marriage to John r. Stoup, March l6,
1896, and after living in Venango county
for number of years removed to Forest
county in lS49, aud has lived in this vi
cinity ever since, and while experiencing
the hardships and toll of the earlier set
tiers of this county, raised large family
of children, seven of whom survive ber,
viz; j. w. Stroup, Mrs. John Hood,
Mrs. j. A. Huling and A. w. Stroup of
this county, Mrs. Chas. Leeper OF Clar-
ion and Mrs. Thompson of Montana.
She is also survived by her husband
who, at the present time, is prostrated
with kidney trouble, and was unable TO
attend the funeral.
Deceased was of a bright and cheerful
disposition; always had kind word of
encouragement for those in trouble or
distress, never tired of doing good, ever
willing to lend helping hand to those
whom sickness or need oppressed, was a
true Christian and had been a member of
the Methodist Episcopal church for twen-
ty-tive years, and it seems sad indeed that
one so useful should be called away by
| Hfniwho doeth all things well, but it is
cOnsoung'to think Chat a true Christian
spirit predominated within and that her
life was one of Christian fortitude.
The obsequies of Harriet Stroup were
held in the NJ. e. Church at this place,
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 8, and were
conducted by Rev. w. w. Dale, who de-
livered very impressive address.
There was quite a large number of sym.
pathetic friends present, in spite Of the
blizzard which was prevailing at the
time.
The remains We're inferred in River
side cemetery, and thus endith the career
of one oI our oldest aud most respected
citizens, who was loved best by those
who kngw her beat.

The blizzard Of the Past Week

has undoubtedly been the most severe
that has prevailed in this section Of the
country, and. in fact. in the greater por-
ton Of tho United States for a long term
of years. The oldest resident hasn't a
word to say, and the venerable express
ion, "dont be clam" cuts no figure
with him for he has closed himself up
like the smallest, most Insignificant BIZ
valve you ever saw, and says "nit."
1t has been holy terror, and every
body acknowledges it, and when every
body acknowledges it, it must be So but
VIC venture the opinion that our little
hamlet among the hills has Jared about as
well as most of the larger towns in this
part of the country and we are not max
ing any kick. We have had plenty of
gas 70 make good warm fires, and that is
better than we have heard from any other
town.
The river division of the w. n. Y. &
p. road has been in fairly good shape all
the time and trains have been running
within an hour or two of schedule time,
which is good deal better than can be
said of most roads. The overland mail
routes from Tylersburg and Kellettvile
have missed a couple of days, but are all
right now, and coming and going at the
usual time.
Some of the towns of the county have
been completely shut Off from the outer
world, and the residents have exper-
fenced considerable inconvenience. We
understand that that P. d w road has
been tied up for three or four days and
that no trains have reached Marienvile
in that length of time, but the worst is
over, IN all probability, and everything
will be running in proper shape in few
days.
Throughout the west the storm has
been the worst ever heard OF and has
caused great suffering and distress, and a
great many people have frozen to death.
Steamships have had hard struggles on
the ocean, but are coming into port
now in safety, but quite number of
sailing vessels have gone down and a
large number of lives have been lost.
While here has been no actual suffer-
ing in this vicinity we should not forget
that there is suffering in other parts of
the world and we should do something to
help those who are in need while we have
plenty.

WinterinR Bees.

indispensable requisites for success
full wintering are good laying queen,
some 80 pounds of good sealed honey
and enough bees to cover the combs. "
The foregoing is quoted from The Farm
Journal, which says:
The fall is the proper time to pack
bees and to keep them III good condition
all winter. This can be easily done, IS
we have frequently said, by putting the
hive proper in IL box of such dimensions
as TO leave some two or three inches of
space between the walls, which may h.
packed with wheat chatf or dry sawdust
A cover over this, with tunnel for tho
bees to get out, is all that is necessary
to give ample protection to the bees. I'm
the absence of such protection, a few
sheaves of corn fodder or bundles Of
straw Will be Of great benefit, providing
the hives are well protected against ro-
dents at their entrances.
