(Sevkuely Scalded. On the afternoon of the 30th, Mr. John Joslin, one of the proprietors of Joslin READ, READ; Ladies' linen and cambric" snW latest styles, just received at Stone's! More Broadwav brown mnsli poses to put in a strong claim for the holding of the fall inspection and review of the Seventh Division at that place. An effort will. also probably be made to have the review made one of the features of the State Fair in Krie in September.

Orderly Sergeant John F. Rupert, ot the Couneautvillo Zouaves, is lying quite sick with intermittent fever, at Winona, Minnesota, where he was temporarily on business when attacked, lie is fortunately at the home of Messrs. tf U. lioynton's Sons, formerly of this place, where lie is receiving every attention. Capt.

John Crain, of the Sheridan (iuard, of Krie, celebrated his crystal wedding on Friday evening. Adjutant J. W. Leach, of the Seventeenth Kogiment, left Krie on Friday for a tour up the lakes, lie expects to be absent a month. The Krie Guard have under consideration an excursion across the Lake to some point in Canada next month.

The ollicers of the military organizations in Krie have received letters of invitation from Col. Magee, of the llattalion of Canada, to join them in an encampment at Simcoe some time in September. The Seventh Division will be included in the invitation in case there is any move made for its acceptance. The members of Knap's Dattory of Pittsburgh have concluded not to go into camp this summer, but instead will donate the funds that were to be for that purposesome 53(111 or $lt'ii to Wm. Neal, a member of the company who was injured by prema-ttne dischaige at Parkers, on the Fourth.

Capt. James Hale, of the Lawrence Guards, of New Castle, was last week appointed postmaster at Ilulliou, Venango county, in place of postmaster Sw.m, deceased. lli: dvkiikii 'AMAiKS. In the fall ol 1.S7.5, Mr. F.

S. Heath, of Cor-rv, contracted for a large amount of hay in this and Erie counties, to be delivered at bis option during the winter. Among others with whom he made contracts was Mr. L. F.

McLaughlin, of Spring Horo, who sold him twenty tons, which ho failed to call for, or at least receive. McLaughlin accordingly entered suit for damages In fore a list ice in Albion who gave a verdict in favor of tlie plaintiff. Heath appealed the case, to Court, and it was ruled out for trial before a Hoard of Aibitrators, who on the il awarded McLaughlin damages. The case will be again referred to Court as the plaintiff is not satisfied with the decision. A similar case against Heath was brought by Minus Colo, of Couneaut township, Krie county, and he was awarded fijli" damages.

The successful prosecution of these cases will open the door for all others who were similarly treated by -Mr. Heath, and he will soon have a healt hy lot of suits on his bauds. tWNKW Nauudw IIuaii. The latest railroad project is the building of a narrow gauge road from Meadville lo connect with the Lake Shore road at Girard, opening a new short route to the oil regions. While to our mind there seems no probability of the project ending in anything but talk, we should lie glad to bo disappointed and to see the" Toad built.

The proposed route would be from Girard along the old canal bed to Cranesville, via Lockport, striking Couneaut creek 'ranesville, following up the branch through Wellsburgh to Crossingville; then along Cussewago creek via Mosiertown and Lit tie's Corners to Meadville. Number of miles 32; estimated cost Kf, Kii.i.kii li LmiiTMNii. A son of Mr. George Miller, who lives two miles southeast of Meadville, was instantly killed by a stroke of lightning Thursday shortly before noon. The lad was about lo years old.

lie was standing under a tree when he was instantly killed. The lightning burned the hair on one side of bis head, made a black and blue mark there and one each side of the lower jaw, tore a hole in his clothes over the right breast and made a tear the shape of a cross in his pantaloons at the knee, and imprinted a perfect picture of a tree on his back. is a safe plan to have nothing to do with any man who offers to give you anything at half price. Don't bet with a man on his own ganio, don't sign your name to any recommendation or other paper presented by a stranger, even though he may tell you how ho wishes it because you are an intluential man in your neighborhood. This little advice has been repeatedly given, and had it been heeded by men we could name, would have saved them much more money than a year's subscription to all the papers in tho county.

ti'flu Thursday forenoon, during the prevalence of a thunder storm, the (lag staff of Scott's block in Krie, was struck with lightning and shivered into line pieces. The sidewalk in front of the, stores was strewn with splinters of wood about the size of matches. Besides a small hole in the tin roof made by the fall ol the cap of the flag stall, no other damage was done to the building. The fluid probably communicated with the iron front by the cresting and was thus conducted to the earth. KJfMrs.

Lydia, wife of Jacob Kich-ards, of Dorset, Ohio, was very seriously injured at that place on the 4th by being thrown from a buggy. Mrs. Richards, previous to her marriage, resided at Penn Line-. On Saturday, she was yet lying very low from her injuries, and her recovery was in doubt. Frank alitor, of this place, addressed the lliirmonsburg Temperance Union in the M.

K. Cliurch on the evening of the 3d. The house was crowded, and the meeting was one of the best held there since tho movement was inaugurated. 83f'Mr. 15.

Koudehush, of Meadville, recently lost a valuable horse, by the animal being impaled on a high picket fence which it failed to clear by jumping. Tho horse was disemboweled and died of its injuries. a Our Cussewago correspondent mailed us a full report of the accidental death of Mr. Francis J. Whipple, of that township, in time for our last issue, but it did not reach us, and we prepared our account from the best information at hand.

From bis letter we glean the following additional par ticulars: His tail was caused by a misstep as he was descending the ladder, after having sawed off the beam, and he fell backward with bis shoulders across the sill. At the same time the beam turned from the top of the post and fell outward, striking him transversely across the face and temple, the concussion instantly killing him. The beam, which was twenty-four feet long and six by eight inches square, was hindered from striking with its full force by other timbers lying on the ground. The accident was witnessed by his daughter, who had just befoie went out to call him to breakfast, and a son and three work hands who were standing near. Mr.

Whipple was born in Tompkins New York, and came to Cussewago township in LSD. He gave himself in early life to the service of the Master, and has long valued the privileges of the Church as among tho greatest of his life. He had been Deacon of the Carmel Baptist Church at Mosiertown almost twenty years. Old Citizkx Dead. Mr.

Stephen Ilackett, one of the earliest settlers of Beaver township, died at his residence on Thursday, in the 75th year of his age. Mr. Ilackett emigrated to this country over forty years ago, and settled upon the farm upon which he died. At the time of his settlement, there had never been a stick of timber cut on the tract, and there was not a wagon road in the township, the only means of travel being on horseback or with a single horse or ox hitched to a "dug out." With the exception of four years spent in this place he always resided on tho farm. He lost one of his legs about nineteen years ago, by an accident while at work in bis sugar camp, the pole-sweep used to hang the kettles on falling and crushing the limb so badly as to necessitate amputation.

He united with the M. K. Church at Beaver Center upon its organization, twenty years since, and died in full membership. His last illness was of upwards of a year's duration, much of the time conlining him to the house. He was an enterprising citizen, an excellent neighbor, respected and esteemed by all.

The remains were buried in Conneautville Cemetery, and were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of relatives and friends. IX SHARON'. Col. Wm. McGilvray, one of the leading citizens of Sharon, died on Thursday morning from the effects of a blow re ceived at tlie hands of Kichard K.

Bell, a young man well known and highly esteemed in the community. The circumstances of the sad affair are related as follows: On Tuesday, about noon, Miss Kate McGilvray was driving her father's horse leisurely down street, when she was overtaken by Mr. W. C. Bell, driving a lumber wagon and the latter being in a hurry drew out lo pass, somewhat frightening Miss McGilvray's horse.

On reaching home she told her father of the circumstance, and he coming up town and meeting Mr. Bell assaulted him, knocking him through a store window. A couple of hours later, Mr. McGilvray, while standing in a store, was confronted by II. K.

Bell, sou of W. O. Bell, who picking up a weight and going up close to Mr. McGilvray threw it at him. The missile struck him on the cheek bone, and he fell senseless on the side walk.

He lingered until Thursday morning, when lie died from the blow. Mr. Bell surrendered himself to the authorities. The parties had always heretofore been warm friends, and great sympathy is manifested for all concerned. i At i a a Excursion'.

We had expected to be able to give in to-day's issue full particulars in reference to the proposed excursion over the Krie ec Pittsburgh Railroad to Ni agara 1' alls, but Imd it impossible lo do so. Th(! excursion, however, will come off the latter part of the present month or early in August; the train will be started at Shenango, and the fare from all points on the road in this county will be $4 for the round trip, and from Jamestown, Greenville and Shenango. Kvery arrangement for the comfort of the excursionists will be provided, and no pains spared to make the trip a pleasant one. the death of Mr. Thomas Stockton, which occurred at his residence in Couneaut township, on Sat urday, another of the old settlers of Western Crawford is called to his long home.

The greater portion of his life was spent in this county, be living on AV at son's Run previous to removing to Couneaut township. He united with the Presbyterian Church upwards of half a century ago. He had been ailing for upwards of a year, but was able lo be about only a few days previous to his death. The remains were buried in Conneautville Cemetery. the report of the Uiiionville, Ohio, races, held last week, we find that C.

G. Dempsey, of Spring Boro, carried off first money in the running race, with his bay mare Florence, three year old by Bigaroon. Best time 1:00. AVe understand Mr. Dempsey has entered his horses in tho Iron City Jockey Club races at Pittsburgh next week.

In company with three boys of about the same, age, he bad been in and on coming out they got an old skiff and went riding, when by some means the boat was upset. All were able to swim except Stanford, who was drowned in spite of the efforts of his companions to rescue him. The body sank in fourteen feet of water, and was not recovered for two hours after. The boy was employed in the neighborhood for the season.

Arnold is so well pleased with the success of his party, that he will make arrangements for another grand ball on the 10th ot September, which he intends shall eclipse anything of the kind ever got up in Linesville. Farmers Take Notice. Agents selling the "Anson AVood" mowing machine are representing them as the improved AVood mower and improved Walter A. AVood mower. AVe want the people to understand that the "Anson Wood" mower is a compar-itively new machine, entirely unlike the AValter A.

S. Kkick. to THE DAY WAS OBSERVED WESTERN CRAWFORD. The Fourth of July just past was allowed to come and go, so far as Conneautville was concerned, with no public observance. Our citizens, however, did their full share in assisting in celebrating the day, as fully half of our population left town to participate in the celebrations held in this vicinity.

Our streets throughout the day wore almost a Sunday quietude, enlivened occasionally by the crack of a torpedo in the hands of the small boy, no fire-crackers having been placed on sale in the town. In the evening. Prof. AVhite sent up a large paper balloon, which ascended in fine style and sailed eastward until lost to view iu the distance. Tho concert of his orchestra, assisted by members of the Musical Association, was a rich musical treat, and was enjoyed by a good audience.

The hop afterwards was a most pleasant affair. The ladies of the Presbyterian Church kept open house iu the store room iu the Court-right Block, dispensing ice cream and lemonade during the day and evening and meeting with a liberal patronage. AT LI TER'S OROVK. The majority of our citizens leaving town for the day made the picnic grounds iu S. B.

Leper's Grove, in Summit, the objective point, and as the people of the surrounding town ships also turned out in full force, the gathering there was the largest held in A estern Crawford. 1 hough orig inally a basket picnic had only been arranged for, the affair blossomed out into a regular old-fashioned celebration, in i ti us the time-honored National salute, martial music and procession, and these little omissions didn't seem to detract greatly from its success. An organization was effected by calling Hon. AV. S.

Crozier to preside, with Col. Daniel Landon and John F. McDowell as A'ice Presidents, and the exercises opened with appropriate music by a strong choir, with Miss Sadie Smith, of Summit, at the organ. Prayer by Rev. A.

R. Rich, of Conneautville, was followed by reading of the Declaration of Independence by Mr. Geo. B. Luper, of Ilarmonsburg.

After another piece finely rendered by the choir, Col. Frank Mantor, of Conneautville, was introduced, and, if we may believe the numerous reports reaching us, delivered one of the best speeches of his life, iiiecess for dinner was then taken, Mid a couple of hours was consumed in discussing the contents of the well tilled baskets with which all were provided, and iu renewing old acquaintances forming new ones. It was not expected that there would be other exercises, but Rev. Rich was pressed into the service and made a short but entertaining speech, and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. H.

Hover, of Dieksonburg. Many of the picnic-eis did not leave for home until late in tlie afternoon, the pleasant grove fur nishing about as comfortable a place for solid enjoyment as could be found" at si in Nci no no. The Fourth was duly celebrated at Spring Horn, the programme previously arranged being fully and most satisfactorily carried out. A procession was formed about half-past ten, under direction of Mr. George II.

King as Marshal, and headed by a martial band, marched to Sturtevant's grove, which bad been fitted up in line style for the occasion. In the absence of Capt. M. AV. Oliver, who had previously been selected as President of the day, Mr.

Henry West, was called to preside. Short addresses were made by Revs. Summcrbell and Cobern, interspersed with singing by the Glee Club and music by the martial band. Dinner was then served, after which short speeches were made by Rev. Franklin, of Spring township, and Rev.

Morrison, of Meadville, and several patriotic songs were sung by Mr. F. A. Temple, of Conneautville. The procession was then reformed and inarched back to town to witness the.

parade of tho fantastics. Kxtensive preparations had been made for this feature, and it was even better than the'excellent one made last year, and furnished material for a large amount of fun. A paper balloon was sent up after the parade, and tlie air being still, it came down near tho residence of AV. D. AVetmore, where it was se.

cured and sent up again with three others in the evening. A lino display of fireworks was given in tho evening, which was witnessed by a large crowd. AVe never saw a better natiired or more thoroughly satisfied lot of people than filled the streets of our neighboring borough during the day, and all interested have reason to feel proud of the success attending the celebration. AT I.IXHSV1I.LE. The celebration at Linesville was under the auspices of the Temperance Union, and the programme was well planned and successfully executed to the complete satisfaction of all in attendance.

The procession was formed on Main street at about half-past ten o'clock and headed by the Linesville Cornet Band marched to Gehr's grove. Rev. L. L. Luse presided, and speeches were made by Col.

Geibner, of Sharon; Rev. A. A. McMaster, of Lineaville, and Mr. Calhoun, of Niles, Ohio.

Tho speaking was interspersed with excellent music hy the Band and Choir. A basket picnic followed, at which it was successfully demonstrated that though the people were not drinkers, there was no discount upon them as eaters. In the afternoon, game of base ball was played between the Murphy Club, of Linesville, aie1 the Adauis-ville Club, resulting in a victory for Linesville by 31 to 1G. In the evening there wre three dances, all well attended, that given by Mr. Arnold, of the Commercial House, being the largest, some seventy couplo taking part.
