telligent men and the love of little chill
dren; who has filled his niche and accom-
plished his task; who has left the world
better than he found it, whether by an
improved poppy, perfect poem, or a
rescued soul; who has never lacked ap-
probation of earth's beauty or failed to
express it; who has always looked for
the best in others and given them the
best he had whose life was an inspira-
tion; whose memory benediction."
"A private letter from w. j. Gayley,
formerly of Nebraska, this county, states
that he has removed with his family from
Raleigh, to Ronceverte, W. Va, and they
are pleased with the change. They have
had no snow worth mentioning this win
ter, and grass on the lawns is still green.
Ronceverte is town OF about 5000 popu-
lation, about third Of which are colored.
Good schools and seven churches, with a
graded school for the colored people and
two churches, "We enjoy the weekly
visits of the REPUBLICAN and could not
live entirely happy without it, Best
wishes to all our Forest county friends"
says Mr.. Gayley.
The Titusville Herald gives this ac-
count Of queer superstition: Emil
Meuer recently sent live rattlesnake to
Samuel Tate of Salona, Clinton county,
Pa, for the purpose of securing the heart
of the reptile to be used as a consumption
cure. Mr.. Tate has written Mr.. Meuer
a letter, stating that the snake was re-
ceived in good shape and that it was
killed and its heart, still warm and beat
ing, taken out and swallowed by young
man who was in the last stages of con-
sumption. The patient revived for day
or two, but the disease was too far adj
vanced and he sank and died. In closing
his letter Mr.. Tate says: 81 believe the
cure is all right in the early stages of the
disease, but this case was too far gone.
All the doctors had given him up"

According to the jamestown Journal
of the 666 marriage ceremonies in James
town one-half we're from outside of New
York state, many couples coming from
this section. In this connection the pa
per savsi "There is a sort OF reason why
Pennsylvania people come across the
| line to tie up. 1t is the only way of pro-
cedure where the parties are under age
and the consent of parents is hard to Sc
cure. But in large number of instan-
ces the couples could have found happi-
ness in their own State. Still jamestown
is not going to object. Local ministers
and justices, hackmen and the general
public who profit from such transactions
are Just so much the better of for having
had something like 500 couples think
Jamestown the Ideal place to begin the
married state"
Speaking of the boiler explosion in
the Norton saw mill, three miles from
Emlenton, noted in the REPUBLICAN last
week, by which r. N. Grant was fatally
injured, the Emlenton News says; 1.-The
force of the explosion was terrific. The
dome of the boiler was blown high in the
air ard landed over 400 feet north from
the mill, while the other part was blown
about the same distance northwest and
the flues were scattered all over the terri
tory about the mill. The boiler house
was blown to splinters and the engine
was turned half over. Buildings were
shaken in town and the force of the ex'
plosion was felt for several miles away
Mr.. Young, who resides in town, anc
several employees were within sight o.
the plant on their way to go to work when
the boiler let go, but no one was hur
though the shock was terrible"
