ED. H. WILSON, arrived home from Bismark, Saturday evening last, looking well, and seeming to liave enjoyed the "salubrious" climate in that region of country. IT is stated that drilling in the test oil well at Blairaville is to be commenced at once, and continued until a depth of 2,500 feet Is reached, when the stockholders expect their hopes for gas or oil will be realized.

JUDGE CLARK will remain at home until the first of January, the Supreme Court having adjourned until that time. His presence with his host of warm friends in Indiana is of the most cheering character, for they all heartily appreciate his genial cordiality. THE Ladies' Parish Aid Society, of Christ Episcopal church, Indiana, met at the residence of Mrs. Lichteberger, South Sixth street, Tuesday evening, last week. All the regular and some new attendants were present to encourage and aid the commendable mission.

LET us get the right word: Parricide is the murder of an ancestor; patricide is the murder of the father; matricide is the murder of a mother. Sarver is therefore a patricide because he murdered his father. Fratricide is the murder of a brother or sister. Get the right word, please. PROMPTED by an item which we recently found in the Indiana Democrat, we named S.

McDonald, of Brush- valley as having been connected in the recent "tar case." "We are pleased to state that there was no ground what ever for coupling the name of Mr. McDonald with the affair, and we cheerfully make (his statement in justice to the gentleman named. THK trial of young Xutt at Uniontown will come up during the first week of next month. Major A. M.

Urown, of Pittsburg, will assist the de- fence. The counsel for the Commonwealth are now witnesses to testify as to defendant's mental condition. Some of the teachers of the public schools, under whom he was a have been summoned to appear. THK Kast End Bulletin very jjroper- remarks: The lesson of the horrible jatricide in Indiana county is this: amily quarrels may begin -with trifles and end in bloodshed. TheSarverease is an extreme one, but none the less does it serve to show that civil war is the worst of all strife, and that family juarrels are things to be shunned and avoided by right thinking men and women.

REPORT of Hanging Rock school, Washington township, formonth end- ng November 11,1883: Per cent of attendance, males, 93; females, 92. Pupils missing no days since entering: Joseph, John, Annie and Jennie Cummins, Ed Johnston, Jennie Cochran, Adda Carnahan, Harrison, Celia and Louie Brandon. Nettie McCreight, James and Mable Fleming, missed one day each. REV. W.

W. WILSO.V, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, Kittanning, held service for Rev. Fisse, in Christ Episcopal church Indiana, Thursday evening last. The attendance was moderately good owing to the very inclement weather on that evening.

The jubjectof theeveningsdiseourse, and confirmation," was presented 'n a plain, convincing style, clear to the understanding of all. A MISSING heir to 5200,000 has turned up at Penn Station, Westmoreland county, his name is Carl Langenberg, and he is a native of Dusseldorf, Prus- jia. His brother, Gustave recently spent three months in this country ooking for him but was unable to find lim. He has learned of the fortune which he has fallen heir to and has sent to his brother for $200 to pay his debts, after which he will go to Germany. THE Johnstown Tribune says: The State Department at Harrisburg has ssued a charter to the Chest Creek Railroad Company.

It starts from near Kaylor's Station, on the Ebensburg Branch railroad, in Cambria county, and runs thence via Westover and Newberry to the mouth of Chest ireek, Clearfield county, a distance of thirty-five miles. The capital stock is John Patton ofCurwensville, Clearfield county, is president. THE official list of pensions, as published in all the Indiana papers, was composed by Frank Keslar, of the Democrat office, and all will agree with us in pronouncing it a neat and firstrclass job of work, especially when it is considered that he has not been years at the business. Frank will make a first-class workman, and we congratulate the young gentleman on iiis practical efficiency. THE Indiana correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, who sent a telegram to that paper under date of Nov.

13, in which he says in speaking of Sarver: "He was very jubilant and declared defiantly that he would never je hung, because he was a Democrat and so was Gov. Pattison," is lacking good common sense, and that journal ought to "jerk" him by the ear in special reminder that as a sensation writer he is a dead failure. DK. JAMES CAI.DEB, lecturer of the Pennsylvania State Grange, will deliver an address in Grove Chapel, Rayne township, at 7 o'clock, p. on the 2sth inst.

Dr. Calder is one of the most pleasant and gifted speakers in the State, and anyone interested in bearing Grange topics and agricultural affairs discussed in an intelligent way and in a practical manner, should attend this meeting, and to all such a cordial invitation to be present is extended. IN Westmoreland county the trial of McCauley, who shot and killed his father near Salina is set for Monday of this week, and the trial of John T. Moss, who shot and killed a man named McGugan will follow. Hoes was a prominent distiller At Port Royal and is largely known throughout the country.

Much interest is manifested in both of the above cases. Judge Blair, of Indiana, will be in Greensbnrg two weeks for the purpose of tiying cases in which Judge Hunter has certified disqualification. WE were pleased to greet ouresteem- ed friend, Geo. T. Swank, editor and proprietor of the Johnstown Tribune, and his brother, James M.

Swank, Secretary of the American Iron and Steel Association, Philadelphia, in a brief call at the PROGRESS office, Tuesday afternoon last. The former gentleman has one of the neatest and best edited daily Republican journals, outside the cities, in Western Pennsylvania, and the latter can tell you more about iron and steel than any other man in the United States. THE Kittanning Republsean says: Mrs. Hugh Williamson, of Boggs township, Armstrong county, cut her throat wilb a razor from ear to ear in a cave near her house on Friday, November 9. Her husband had occasion to go into the cave shortly after she committed the rash act, for sacks, in which to put grain he was about to thresh, and discovered her lifeless body.

When she left home told her daughter she was going to pay a visit to Mrs. William Swartz, and from there she would go to call on another neighbor named Oliver, at which bwt place she would stop over night Hhe bad dressed herself carefully before leaving her home. No cause can be be assigned for her conduct. W. A.

SHEBMAN, a former resi- dentof Kittanning, says the FreePress, has just been elected County Judge of Ouray county, Colorado, where he is now residing. About three years ago Mr. Sherman went to Ouray to superintend a silver mine for a company composed largely of Kittanning capitalists, and during his leisure time it seems gave his attention to the study of law. From the books to the bench in three years is climbing the ladder with pretty rapid strides, and in this instance evemplifles the truth of Horace Greely's West, young man, go West." THE Kittanning Caloric Company may be called the pioneers in the use of natural gas. Heretofore its use was confined to stores and boilers, says the Free Press, but under the Caloric Company's management gas has been introduced into stoves for all purposes, boilers, grates, heaters, bake ovens and puddling furnaces, and last week Mr.

George B. Daugherty burnt a kiln of brick with it, and pronounces it a great success. Messrs. Henry Smith are experimenting in the matter of compressing gas, so as to make its transportation not only possible but practicable. We hope their efforts may meet with success.

A HUGE black because it weighed about four hundred shot, in Washington township, Friday last, by Lowry Johnston and William Adams. The hide and carcass were brought to town Saturday last by the lucky hunters, and hundreds of our citizens feasted their eyes on the rare sight. Joe Clements, of the Indiana House, purchased the hide, paying therefor the sum of twenty dollars. It is stated that he will have it stuffed and set up in his billiard room as a rare curiosity. A small portion of the carcass was sold at the rate of twenty-five cents per pound, to gratify the taste of a few Indiana epicures.

A TELEGBA3I received from Lincoln, Nebraska, states that John Brubaker, who shot and instantly killed James Coketon, Westmoreland county, has been captured. The murder was committed about four years ago. Brubaker and Wolf fell out about the ownership of some whisky, whereupon they got into a fight, in -which Brubaker was worsted. He procured a revolver, and followed Wolf, shot him through the body. Brubaker fled the country, and after a fruitless effort to capture him the matter was dropped.

A tew days ago Brubaker was recognized by a gentleman who went from Coketon to a locality near Lincoln. Word was sent to the relatives of the murdered man and arrangements were effected for the capture of Brubaker, and officers are now on their way to Westmoreland county with the prisoner in their custody. A BOMOB was current last week that Dr. William Blakeney, of Atwood, a village in Armstrong county, a suort distance from the line of Washington township, this county, shot and instantly killed a man named Shawl, who lives between Atwood and Rural Village. The reason given for the shooting was an alleged undue intimacy between Shawl and Blakeney's wife.

A later story is to the effect that Shawl was only wounded, perhaps mortally, and was under the treatment of Dr. Mateer, of Elderton. A still later story was also to the effect that the said Shawl had been arrested while in the act of running away with Mrs. Blakeney, and that she had been sent adrift, and that there had been no shooting in the case. The latest supposition is that the sensation was batched here in Indiana in the interest of journalistic enterprise.

THE Hon. Joseph H. Kuhns, a prominent lawyer of Greensburg, West moreland county, died at his residence in that place, on Friday evening, November 16, in tBe 83d year of his age. His remains were interred in the German Cemetery, at Greensburg, on Sunday afternoon last, from Christ Episcopal Church, Bishop Whitehead officiating in the funernal services. At the time of his death be was the oldest ranking member of the Westmoreland bar, but he retired from actual practice about six years ago.

In the year 1850 he became the nominee of the Whig party for Congress, the district then being composed of the counties of Westmoreland, Indiana, Somerset and Fulton. He was elected and served one term in the National House of Representatives. He was tendered the nomination second time, but declined preferring to resume his practice of the law. THE origin of thanksgiving day.and its perpetuation, is thus stated: Dr. Franklin relates that in a time of great despondency among the first sellers of New England, it was proposed in one of their public assemblies to proclaim a day of fasting.

An old farmer arose, spoke of their provoking heaven with their complaints, reviewed their mer- jies, showed that they had much to be thankful for, and moved that instead of appointing a. day of fasting, they appoint a day of "thanksgiving," and the old farmer's motion prevailed, and that originated our now generally observed Thanksgiving day. For many years the day was only observed in New England States, the Governor of each State issuing his proclamation. Then one by one many of the middle and western States adopted the day, until in 1862 President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the first national thanksgiving to be held on the last Thursday in the month of November. JTJMBO writes us from Bmicksburg under date of November 19: This town has caught the spirit of improvement.

for a 150 barrel set of rolls to be put in his mill at Clayville, Jefferson county next spring. StWDAY, November 11, 1883, witnessed a notable celebration not only in the United States, but in all parts of the world. A wonderful man, considering the times in which be lived, Martin Luther, was successful in founding a faith that has transmitted his name to posterity in a connection that basal ways been noted for keeping memory green. The man who turns religious thoughts into a new channel will always -be remembered long after and potentates contemporaneous with him are forgotten. It has proved so with Martin Luther.

The monk who disapproved the teachings of his elders, and threw aside cowl and rosary to preach a new creed, is spoken of now by millions could not tell the name of the Emperor ruling Germany when Luther was born if their lives depend- on it The general celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of his birth will be an event long to be remembered, and we trust, with pleasure by all creeds and nationalities. Here in Indiana the event was observed with due solemnity and services appropriate. In the -Lutheran church, Sixth street, Rev. A. C.

Ehrenfeld, pastor, special services marked the occasion, and generally a lively interest was manifested by all Christian people. THE story of the stealing of a colt, the property of Job a McClaran, of Brushvalley, by John Stewart, and how McClaran got a trace of the animal by a gray horse minus a tooth.and how he also cornered Stewart at a blacksmith shop in Burrell township and riddled him with bullets from a. revolver, and how subsequently the dead body of Stewart was found in the woods and the dead colt beside him, has been told at length. The sequel now comes in a letter from Frank E. Colvin, dated Schellsburg, Somerset county, Pa.

November 16,1883, addressed to James B. Sansom, of the Democrat, in which the story of the recovery of the colt and the arrest and escape of Stewart is told as follows: "My brother and I arrived at home with the gray horse on Monday afternoon. On Wednesday afternoon James Bowser came here with the news that Stewart was in our neighborhood, and that he still had tbe pony in his possession. My two brothers and myself accompanied Bowser, and a little after dark we made a dash upon our man Stewart, who had been working for a widow lady, Mrs. Stofer, about two miles and a half from our town.

We succeded in arresting him and getting possession of the pon3 saddle and bridle, but on our way to Woman's Choice, whither we intended to take Stewart to have him committed, he broke away and escaped into the woods. We have not seen or heard of him since. From what we can learn Stewart has been in our immediate neighborhood for over two weeks, while we were looking for him elsewhere. XESto writes from Blairsville: Eev. Brown of Latrobe, and Rev.

He was standing between the railroad tracks endeavoring to stop a passenger train when a freight came along and struck him, throwing him under the passenger, and killing 'him instantly.

His remains were brought here on Thursday and were buried on Saturday Dr. Villers gave his entertainment here last Friday evening. The doctor is a most wonderful mimic, and is beyond question the funniest man that ever appeared before our people. Everything he said or did was chaste and refined. There is a unanimous demand that he visit us again.

It is said that the God Jupiter once made a lottery in heaven and allowed both mortals and gods to hold tickets. The grand prize was wisdom, and Minerva held the winning card. This caused trouble among the mortals, and Jupiter, to appease them, offered folly as a second prize, which they all drew and were highly pleased with it. Ever since that time folly has been held in high estimation by mortals. If they wish to be noted for wisdom they should buy Peruna of the nearest druggist, and use it for the various ailments which are known to humanity.

Thousands are learning wisdom in this regard, and are loud in their praise of these wonderful discoveries of Dr. 8.B. Hartmao.

About sixty million copies of the Son have gone out of our establishment during the post twelve months. If you were to paste end to end all the columns of all the Huns printed and sold last year you would get continuous striper interesting Information, common sense wisdom, eoand doctrine, and sane wit lone enough to reach from Printing Hoase square to the top of Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to Printing House square, and then three-quarters of the way back to the moon But the Son is written for the Inhabitants of the earth; this same strip of intelligence would girdle the globe twenty-seven ortwen- ty-eight times. If every buyer of a copy of the Sun during the past year has spent only an hour over lt and ifhis wife or his grandfather has spent another hour, this newspaper in 1883 has afforded the human race thirteen thousand years of steady reading, night and day. Jt is only by little calculations like these that you can form any idea of the circulation of the most popular of American newspapers, or of its influence on the opinions and actions of American men and women. The Sun is, and will continue to be, a newspaper which tells the truth without fear of consequences, which gets at the facts no matter how much the process costs, which presents the news of all the world without waste of words and in the most readable shape, -which is working with all is heart for the cause of honest government, and which therefore believes that the Republican party must go, and must go in this coming year of our Lord, ISM.

If you know the Sun, you like It already, and you will read it with accustomed dilll- gence and profit during what is sure to be the most interesting year in its history. If you do not yet know theSnn, it Is high time to get into the sunshine.
