A Pleasant Reminder.

In the issue of the FOREST REPUBLICAN,
of March 81. 1871, appeared this briet an
nouncement:
MARRIED In Philadelphia. on the 18th
inst, by Rev. r. M. Luther, Samuel ID.
Irwin, Esq. of Tionesta, and Miss Mary
Thomas of Philadelphia.
Friends to the number of half hun
dred or more we're spprised OF this happy
occasion last Friday afternoon, 18th inst,
and embraced the opportunity to call at
the quiet home of Judge Irwin and wife
to felicitate with them In the celebration
of this forty.third anniversary OF their
happy marriage. 1t happened also to be
within day of the Judges 10Th birthday,
which was on the 18th day of March, l845.
The occasion was entirely informal and
quite in the nature of surprise, and
many and very heartfelt good wishes
we're extended TO the well-mated couple,
who have passed 80 many years in the
ompsnionship ofa happy welded life.
and we are pleased to say, bid fair to be
spared to their friends vet long time.

The many friends of Miss Blanche
Pease will be pleased to learn that In q
number test given recently in the pull lie
schools of Akron, Ohio, her pupils re-
ceived the highest average, 9S per cent.
In the second grade in the city. When
you stop to consider that there are go
teachers and approximately 2. 500 children
In the second grade in the city, this is a
record of which Miss Pease may justly
be proud.
-"Captain" J. A. Lawrence, who is
having the time of bis life down among
the Florida alligators and sand fieas,
mails card to Tionesta friend with the
evident intention of rubbing it in" on
the friend. The card features q party of
sports exhibiting "before break fsst'
catch OF three fish of the tarpon species,
the combined weight Of which is 147
pounds. The picture looks mighty
tempting to norlherner, but the recip-
lent thinks both weight and size are
greatly exaggerated, besides the fish
have the appearance of being kept in cold
storage and used for pulling in gullible
tourists who like to send pictures home
to excite the envy of friends.
"A very unusual excursion was run
from this county last Thursday night
over the Pennsylvania Railroad, when
about 45O persons journeyed to Oil City
to attend the Biederwof revival meetings
in the tabernacle. Starting at $40 at
West Hickory the train brought 1893
persons from Endeavor, East Hickory
and West Hickory. About 230 persons,
young and old, joined the party at Tio-
nesta and the train arrived in Oil City at
6:45. The party marched to the taberna.
Gle and we're seated at o'clock In a sec
tion of seats specially reserved for them.
After an inspiring song service Of nearly
an hour, in which they were specially in
vited to join by choir director McEwan
and also complimented for their good
singing, the party listened to good
sermon by DR.. Biederwolf on "Blind
Bsrtimseus," who before beginning his
discourse complimented the up-river
party on its religious zeal In making such
an unusual pilgrimage. Rev. j. F.
Scherer, in behalf of the Endeavor dele
CATION, presented DR.. Biederwolf with a
beautiful bouquet of flowers, saying in
part: "The people from the town in
which live have taken for their motto,
'Endesvor,' and so we are endeavoring to
live up to our name and do things, and
consequently have not time for long
speeches. We present you with these
flowers with the hope that they will
symbolic the beautiful work you are
doing" The party left for home at 1890
and all we're loud in praise for those who
had made it possible for them to enjoy
such an inspiring religious service. The
total attendance at the melting was 4 200
aJd the converts who walked the saw
dust traip' numbered 56..

Forty-Five Years Ago.

Culled from the Forest Press, Pete
Converts old paper, of March 81, 1869:
We expected to issue last week when
outside went to press, but very severe
attack of neuralgia, which is nearly as
bad as drunk" changed our plan. In
the mean time we have concluded on and
are making change in the Forest Press
that will be- to the advantage of all con-
cerned, which we expect to commence
exactly one week from today, and which
will be made apparent at that time-suf-
tice 1t for the present to say that we ex-
pect to increase the already enviable rep
utstion of Forest Press locally, and con-
sequently its circulation, and like Bill
ling's "silent perambulators" will attend
strictly to business.
The Soap M ines of Butler and inter.
mediate points have been raftingly repre-
sented in Tionesta as usual during the
present "high," among whom we recog-
nize numerous old acquaintances.
Either owing to the superiority of our
whiskey, or our people, or both, or some
equally happy cause or causes, -Tionesta
appears to be quite model town in the
way of temperance, especially when we
consider the very large influx here peri
odically ofjolly, rollicking raftmen, and
also that we have Good Templar lodge
flourishiDg in full blast with a popular
grocery store right underneath, to say
nothing of good licensed hotel al each
end of the town with the Forest Press in
the center, etc. Perhaps the liberality OF
popular opinion may have something to
do with it.
Notwithstanding tho protracted chilly,
soggy, sickly weather. perceptible shade
OF green is stealing over the ground; but
whether it shall all be covered with foot
of snow, or freshen into livelier beauty
by the time this is read, the good Lord
only knows.
Mr.. G. F. Cropp, of Hickory township,
has already commenced grubbing. HIS
brother, Mr.. - Cropp, IS also about
moving from Clarion county to Hickory,

zens to settle among us. a. they develops

will be "sure and stead fast' after all the

Golden Wedding Celebrated.

We we're privileged on Tuesday of last
week to be a guest at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. l.. S. Wolfe at Whig Hill, the
occasion being the fftieth anniversary
of their wedding and also the birthday OF
MIR. Wolfe. The day was an ideal winter
day aud while the guests were not
numerous all arrived in the best Of
spirits. The hostess was moved to ex-
claim, "Oh. that this day had come long
years ago." while some weren't of that
mind, for they would not have been
mum bered among the honortd guests.
The guests on arriving, some at least,
were chilled by their ride in the cold air,
but were amply repaid for their efforts in
the grand good time spent at the home of
our friends. The table was filled to its
utmost capacity and all present pro-
nounced this occasion a grand success.
All did ample justice to themselves as
well when seated around these we'll pro-
vided bounties.
The guests present we're, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leon Watson, Mr.. and Mrs. John Silzle,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Grove, Mrs. K. j..
Flynn, Mrs. George Paul, Mrs. Steven
Lyle and son, and Mrs. e. Bsbcock and
son. all of Kellettville, Mr.. and Mrs.
Clemer Wolfe of New Kensington, Pa,
brother of our host, Mrs. Beck and son,
Miss Alice Decker, MIR. and Mrs. John
Skunk, all OF Wing Hill.
All we've loath to leave even at a late
afternoon hour the comfortable freside
home of our aged friends. All left wish
ing them many more years of welded
life sud good health.

The general discussion for several

Railroad managers and employees ap-

people more clearly understand their

cause Of the fact that a railroad is a
public highway on which all travellers

such that single company must eXer-
