ceriained In order To give the ala-rr
to the settlers and array posts located
on the line u their forays.
Bennett was attached to the post as
n scout. The troops were drawn up
In Inc dismounted and the command
ing officer stated that as matter of
life and death to the settlers and
other cavalry troops, information of
the movements of the bucks was alb
solutely necessary. He could not un-
der the circumstances send Il soldier,
to what was almost certain death.
and he could not direct any man of
his command to go at his order. Hard
ly had the words escaped from his
mouth than Bennett stepped forward,
saluted the officer and said that H.
was ready to go, and that his only
request would be that a volunteer ac-
company him until near the Indian
encampment, and wait while he crawl
ed forward on his perilous mission.
If a shot was fired the duty of the
accompanying volunteer would be to
dig spurs into his mount and return
to the post to announce that the mis-
sion had failed
The commanding officer pointed out
to Bennett that there were nine
chances to one of his coming out alive.
Bennett said he would take the oil
chance. Then, obtaining the com
handing officers permission, he callai
for a volunteer. A diminutive Iris
man stepped out of the ranks, sayi; z
in a broad brogue, "Shure, cap'n, III
help you take yer chance"
He was the smallest Irishman /
ever saw in the army, but he was
wiry little fellow and full of pluck,
although he hadn't been with the,
troops long" said Bennett to an Ad-
vertiser reporter not two weeks since.
IL told him of the danger of going in
the vicinity of nearly 5000 bucks on
the warpath, but he said he was TAX
ing the small end of the odd chance,
so l accepted him"
Captain Chaffee tried to dissuade
Bennett from going out on that mis-
sion, but finding he was bound to keep
his word, assisted him as a brave OFF,
Ger would assist brave soldier. Ben
nett and his comrade rode to within
a few miles of the camp where the
braves were holding their pow-wow.
Leaving his companion, the scout care
fully crawled to within hearing dis
lance OF the camp, Wnere ne nearu
enough to convince him that the In
dams meant to make a sudden attack
upon one of the garrisons. Although
almost surrounded by hostiles he was
happily not seen. BY careful crawl
ing, so as not to disturb the grass, /
he managed to get back to the Irish
man, and safely back to camp. The
information impaired was of incalcu-
liable advantage to the United States |
troops in the subsequent campaign, |
but was only one of scores of like
deeds performed by the dead hero.

Public Installation at EndeavOr.

The installation of the newly elected
officers of Eli Berlin Post. which oc-
Cured at Endeavor recently was perfect
success in every wag. A series of meet
ings being in progress in the church, the
boys in body marched from the hall
over Wheeler Il Dusenbury's store to the
church, where they were greeted kindly
and listened to beautiful song service
followed by an able sermon delivered by
Rev. J. V. McAninch of Tionesta. His
theme was "The Prodigal's 8 Return" The
discourse was from bible standpoint
and eloquently delivered. At the con-
clusion of the services at the church all
marched to the hall which was hand
somely decorated for the occasion. No
time was lost and the installing of Off
GERS was rapidly gone through without a
missing note in the whole affair. p. p.
c., w. E. Witherell, was installing officer.
After the services and while Comrado
Witherell was explaing how he became
an NJ. D. in the army, the banquet was
spread by the ladies of the W. c. T. U.
assisted by others. TO the G. A. r., and
we believe to all others present, this was
one of the events to be remem bered. @aa

Severely Injured.

Daniel Fellows, whose residence is
midway between Nswmansville and
Lickingvilie, in Clarion county, was ser.
iously hurt last Friday. He has been
hauling logs for James Landers at his
mill out near Hemlock. and on the day
mentioned was dragging an average log
on boat when the loose end of the log
slowed and struck hinI, knocking him
down and rolling across his abdoman,
holding him in this predicament. His
cries for help could not be heard, and af-
ter en-, uring this until nearly chilled
through, he urged the hel ses on and hey
pulled the log off in6ictidg serious inter-
nal injury, as can be imagined. At last
accounts he was in critical state. though
his friends hope for his recovery.

Jacob Simon Severely Hurt in Fall.

Jacob Simon, Oil City's well known
merchant tailor, was very severely in
jured here yesterday. He arrived from
Oil City on the morning train, and had
started for Mr.. Lawrence's pleace, across
the creek, on business errand, crossing
IN the swinging bridge. At the west
end he slipped and fell backward off t. o
bridge, distance of about ten feet, strik-
ing on the back of his neck and shoulders
rendering him unconscic us. In this con-
dition he was discovered by Albert Law
renee shortly afterward, and conveyed by
him and his father to the house and DR..
Morrow summoned. The Doctor soon
had his patient feeling easier, although he
suffered severe pain all day. He is re-
ceiying the best of care, and this morn
ing is reported much better. Mrs. Simon
came up this morning and is with her
husband.

The Death Roll.
JOHN w. WILES.

John w. Wiles, whose serious illness
we have heretofore mentioned, died at
his homo on Smoky Hill, on Friday
evening at IL o'clock, from a series OF
ailments, which almost from the first
seemed to battle medical skill and the
very best of home treatment. Mr.. Wiles
was born in CloriOn county, Mayl 1851.
The death by accident of his father
soon after his birth and the poor health
of his mother, compelled breaking up
OF the home, and little John was adopted
into the family of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
Robb, with whom he remained until he
became of age. On January 8, 1877 he
was Joined in marriage with Miss Mary
Black, eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel Black. Four children were born
as result of this union, viz: John D.,
M. Blanche, James NJ, and Frank G..
Wiles, who with the mother are left to
mourn the loss of a kind husband and
father. Mr.. Wiles was one of our most
industrious and highly respected citizens
and as result of his thrift and economy
he leaves well equipped farm and COM
Portable home as heritage to his family.
His death will be generally regretted by
all who knew him. The family have the
sympathy of all in their bereavement.
The burial took place at the Wilderness
church near Crown on Monday after
noon. Besides his family he is survived
by one brother, E. W. Wiles of Tylers-
burg and a sister, Mrs. Cathrine Porter,
of Cedar Springs, Michigan.

James McMillen died at his home near
Newmansville, Pa, on Thursday, Feb.

Butler county about seven years ago and
purchased the farm which he occupied at
the time of his death. Many years ago
he had resided at Oldtown, about three
miles from this place, on Tionesta creek,
and dun ing that time had become well
and favorably known to most of our cit
izens. He was a veteran of the civil war,
being a member of the 4th Pa. cavalry,
He is survived by his wife, mother and
four sisters, five brothers having preced'
ed him TO the grave. The funeral was held

a decrease of 2l3 completed wells and sol
barrels of new production. In The Penn
sylvania field alone. 633 new wells were
completed, with l4O dry holes and new
production of s,l9S barrels. This is d. =
cline from December of lS0 co npleted

a. This was decrease from December
of 50 wells, 2 l45 barrels new production
and dry holes. The new work at the
close of January shows 4j9 rigs and 653

aud loss of IL wells over the beginning
OF January. The average production OF
the January wells in all fields was l5s

stated that the "egg came into the pos
session of the writer" but in no way is
the reader given the slightest clew as to
how it came into his possession. Is II
not the case hat such omission can only
give rise to the natural query: why
should the means by which the egg came
into the possession of the writer be APP
parently so carefully concealed, or held
back ?" Again, would it not be the fair
and proper thing to do to give the name
of the chicken raiser, through whose ef-

was made possible for such an egg to be
laid before the public This would be
but common Justice. But, aside from
this consideration, and blushing at the
