Frank b. Newell committed suicide
at his boarding house in Allegheny City,
on the 2sth ult., using a penknife and
cutting the jugular vein. The unfortunate
man will be remembered by number of
our citizens as having been clerk at the
Central House number of years ago.
About ten years ago his eyesight began
to fail him and he became totally blind.
Despondent at being unable to get re-
lief and finding himself charge upon his
friends doubtless unbalanced his mind
causing him to commit the rash act. He
was aged about 55 years.

Mr.. J. II. Cook, of Cooksburg, an es-
teemed and old time friend of the
Republican, made us very pleasant call
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Cook is one of
the pioneer settlers of the Clarion river
district, and has had an experience of the
changing years that makes him pleasant
and entertaining gentleman to converse
with. lie can recall the time when mon
ster white pine trees were cut down and
burned up for the purpose of clearing the
grounds on the banks of the Clarion river
near his home for potato patch, and
many years later he was offered some of
the finest timber lands in that section at
sl.5O and $500 an acre. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cook were here visiting their son, who
was foreman on the A. W. Cook mills,
who now expects to find employment
elsewhere since that old-time industry
has finished its life of great usefulness
and been abandoned to the elements of
destruction and decay Brookville Re-

"A great downpour of rain at the head
waters of Tionesta crock last Thursday
night and early Friday morning caused
considerable CONSERVATION to the resi-
dents and business people living along
that stream for time. Many who re-
tired in the evening when the stage of
water in the creek was quite low awoke
in the morning to find themselves almost
surrounded by the flood that had come
on during the night. The S. at. railroad
was perhaps the greatest sufferer from
the flood, the tracks being washed out in
several places, and number of slides
having occurred, stopping transit for a
day or two. The losses sustained by the
lumbermen were comparatively light
considering the suddenness and severity
of the flood. An empty flat boat broke
from its moorings at Neblask and came
down and struck the creek bridge at this
place, where 1t broke intwo, about half of
it lodging on the piers. The boom went
out at Buck Mills and with it went about
enough logs to make 5000 or 10000 feet
of lumber. The boom in the pend at
Nebraska was also carried away.
In accordance with acts of assembly
all surviving honorably discharged SOL
diers OF Pennsylvania, who at any time
during the civil war were confined In
Andersonville prison, Georgia, are enti-
tied to transportation to and from Ameri-

of the memorial erected in the national
cemetery at that place. Also all soldiers
in Pennsylvania whose names are borne
on the rolls of Pennsylvania organiza-
tions in June and July of 1868, and who
took part in the siege of Vicksburg,
Miss, while members of the 45th, 50th,
5lst and Tooth regiments, and DurelPs
battery, are entitled to transportation to
Vicksburg and return, upon the occasion
of the dedication of the monument which
is to commemorate the services of the

said siege. The time for the dedication
of these memorials has not yet been fixed
but will likely occur in October or No
vember. Those entitled to transportation
should communicate with Hon. Thos. j.

delighted to know that Miss Emma

heretofore been made in these columns,
