The rainy weather we have exper
ienced, for several days past, has tilled
the streams nearly to overflowing,
Our lumbermen have, with few excep
tions, succeeded in getting their lum
ber out, aud in consequence they feel
in good humor. Now, with a fair
price and ready sale, we may expect a
large amount of money to be brought
back to this section.
Judge RoKS says we were in error
as to the age and builder of that old
house, formerly ou the site of M. E.
Lessor's new one. He says the house
was built by Thomas W. Barb jr in the
year 1830. At that time the Judge oc
cupied a 12x12 shop, near the same
place, in which he worked at the trade
of tailoring. Judge Dickinson also
corroborates these acts. Subsequently
the house was owned by Caleb Dill
B. F. Rhoades, of Fox township,
has invented a new saw tooth, for cir
cular or upright saws, which planes
the lumber as It is sawed. The planer
is fastened to aud runs a sixteenth of
uu iuch ahead of the old-fashioned
tooth. He has also inven ted a saw.
for the use of carpenters and others,
which has two chisel teeth and a clear
ing tooth, these being repeated the
lencrth of the saw. He claims that
this saw will rip a board better than
the old-fashioned rip saw, and it will
also cut a smooth joint, thus conibin
ing t wo saws In one.
Mr. Gemmill informs us that the
total number of birds shipped from
Sheffield, up to April 27, is 353,846,
Lately the price of dead birds is low
and 14,600 live ones were shipped dur
Ing the last week. Counting 50,000
from Tionesta and 40,000 from Tidi
oute, which is no doubt below the ac
tual figure, we have 443,810. Some
have been shipped from Kane and
other points, while many have been
carried away by shootists. It is proh
ably safe to say that half a million
nitreons. dead and alive, have been
taken in this section. Warren Mail
Now is the time to fix yourselves
lip for summer, and now is your great
opportunity. We see that some of our
merchants, noticeably Powell & Kime,
the old stand by firm, are filling up
with an unusually line stock of goods
of every description. They appear to
be supplying every body with Grocer
les, Provisions, Feed, &c. They also
have a very handsomestock of Carpets,
Floor and Table Oil Cloths, Clothing,
.Dress uoods, Boots and Shoes, Crock
ery, and everything else. They an
pear to be doing a fine business, not
withstanding they do not advertise.
They are very fair dealing men, and
always, so far as we know, give their
customers their full money's worth
They ought to advertise, and they did
until they laid the foundation of their
splendid business. We submit It is
not fair for them to quit patronizing
their own town papers, after having,
in times past, received so much bene
fit from printer's Ink, Yet, they
know how to buy and sell goods, and
people will pay out their money where
they can get the most for it.
