Grand Time AnticipatedJ ALL ARK I!fTITKl! COME OUT AND CELEBRATE! At a ma S3 meeting of the citizens held in the parlors of the Forest House last Moddav evening,' it wnt decided that we) have a "good old style cele bration," in this place, to which all the citizens of the county are cordially invited, and requested to participate in. Committees were appointed to make all necessary arrangements, but as the committees do not report until next Saturday eveniug, when there will be a second meeting at the .Universalis! church, we are unable at present to give a complete summary of the ways that may be devised for the occasion. But we are authorized to sny that these will consist of orations, reading of the Declaration of Independence, recital of the History of Forest county, poems, songs, &c.. Basket Picnic, to which all the Sabbath Schools, and all other societies iu the county are most cordially invited. Fire works will also be provided, and music and dancing of course. ' ' ' In our next issue we will be enabled to give a more detailed transcript of the matter: in the mean time we would call the attention of our renders to the subject, and invite them to turn out and join with us, and by their presence and united elfurta help to make tho occasion a success. Mr. T. J. Van Gieseu was elected Marshall of the day, with the power to appoint assistants. The following Committees were ap' pointed : ( Comraitteo to procure Orators, Lit erati, &c. : J. B.

Joy Star, who paid this place a short visit during court week, publish the following in regard to it, in the last issue of tho Star : "TioDesta is the county seat of For est county, and its prospects are bright. It is situated on the cast bank of the Allegheny river, and on the line of the A. V. R. R. It lias four or five well-conducted hotels, a bank, a largo and beautiful court house, and two newspapers, the Republican and the Prcm. There nre also a number of fine residences, a great many of which have lately been erected, which is an evidence that the town is improving, and has a steady growth." Laud plaster, a fresh lot, jutt re ceived at Robinson & Bouiicr's. 10 2t W have received from tho offi eers of the Tradesmen's Induslrial Iu stitnte, of Pittsburgh, a blatik applica tion for ace to exhibit artiolee of interest, at the second exposition' of this association, which is to be held :'n Pittsburgh, commencing on the ICth day of August next, and closing on the 23d day of September. Person ally, wo have nothing strange or new, to exhibit, and if any of our. readers wish to display anything belonging to them, the blank is at their service, The buildings will be opened August 1st, for the reccptiou of machinery and other goods. Goods at the risk of exhibitors; but efficient watchman or police will at all times be.ou duty A littlo son of Mr. Geo. Albaugh, who lives at the foot of Hiland St., fell into the back channel on Saturday last, sank several times, and was final ly Carried over the riffle, some rode in to the river. Mr. John Hood happen ed to get sight of the boy, and plunged into the water, and brought the little chap safidy to shore, and be is now all right again, but he came very . nearly passing in his checks. It is a wonder that we do not hear of moro accidents of the same kiud, as scarcely a day passes but numerous boys frem five to twelve years are paddling all over tho eddy, where tho water is from four tOi fifteen feet deep. ' ' The Black Hills bubble has been effectually punctured by the hatchet of the Indian. The telegrams giving an account ef tlioir depredations are sickening in their details of butchery. The poor fellows who have "been led to the Hills by the false reports, in hopes of making a fortune, lose their lives instead. , The latest report from . that section is of the killing of a party of forty-nino men, a wholesale butchery, which will cause tho deepest feeling of indignation and sorrow. This is the last issue of our pa per in which candidates are ? allowed to announce themselves, previous to our primaries, according to the roles. So the Republicans must make a choice among thoss whose name are already announced. Personally, we would be ounui aausnea u mere were niteen or twenty persons announced for each office, as in that case, we would by this time, have money enough to make us comparatively inucpenaent tor a time. ' ; ; The Democrats in this i county and district are working just as hard for nominations as if they expected to make the election provided they are nominated. With the exception of State Senate, they will certainly be mistaken, and on that office they may bo. It is a great ruistako, however, for these individuals to buttonhole Republicans; for according to the rule they are not allowed to voto at the Democratic primaries. The Republican primary elections in Butler county were held last week, and, at the convention, held at Butler on Friday last, it was decided to throw out the entire vote from, the oil dis tricts. The oil men are very indignant and, if the vote was straight, iu their respective dijtricts, they have a per fect right to be. The result will be bad splits in the vote at the Novem ber elections. 1 : -- ' ! Ex-Speaker Blaine has exhibited those letters which he refused to give up to the committee, and has shown up Mr. Knott, who received a telegram establishing his (Blaine's) innocence, and who suppressed the same. Speak er Kerr, is now having a chance of personal explanation, 'having been charged with taking money for secur ing one Green, a commission during the war. ; ' ' , 1 ' - Petroleum V. Kasby dictates the platform on hlch the Democrats should go into the campaign. It must meddle with no man's views on the currency question, or any other ques tion which will divide the votes. Re form, is the whole of the platform. He publishes letters received from Tweed, Connelly and Sweeney, all of whom recommend "reform" as the watchword. Some one has removed our hatch et from the office. It was not our intention to dig up the hatchet at this time, but it appears that some indi vidual believes that it is time it was raised. Now if said individual will bring said hatehct back, we will bury it in a Btlck of kindling wood as coon as cold weather sets iu. There were Free Methodist ser vices, last evening iu the Universalis! church. A lady conducted the services. Peoplo talk of tho inconveniences of silver as change, urging that thci pockets will be worn out, and their money lost, and their legs made soro by the weight of the roone,y. This may be true in exceptional cases, but we can assure our readers that there are no boles i'l our pockets, and that our legs are as sound as they ever were in the days 6f fractional eurren cy. . 'Talking with Capt. Howe, of Franklin, a few days ago, he informed us that the work on tha wells iu the old part of the county, about Balltown, would commence shortly. The com pany have ad much to contend with, in dealing with some of the large laud-holders, the latter holding the price of their, leases too high. We belie'o all things are now ready. A smart Illinois girl who had been cruelly jilted, rose up in her wrath and recovered 85000 for breach of promise, and she had no sooner got this suit out of the way than she took some of the proceeds and went right to work on another a handsome black silk made after . the "Domestic Fashions." , Mr. Cbas. Hinton Street Com nussioner gives notice to tax-payers that he will commence fork on the roads on Thnrsday morning next, at 7 o'clock. . All who wish to work out their road taxes, to meet him on that morning at Haslet's cornerand they will be set at it. At .the primary elections, held in Amstrong county , last week, Gen. Harry White received the entire vote of. the Republicans, having had no op position. Ho will undoubtedly receive the instructions from every colnty in the district, and will be triumphantly elected. Ice cream and soda water are in fashion here. In larger places, people are now indulging in strawberries, cu cumbers, radishes, &c. Our. garden stuff will soon be ready for business, and then we can all get sick without having to pay such high prices for the stock. ; " Henry McSwecney, ' Esq., who was admitted from Venango county, to practice at the bar of Forest county last court, has stuck nut bis shingle in St. Petersburg.

We publish tq-day- the card of Drs. Blaiue & Egbert, who have form ed a copartnership for the practice of medicine. Dr. Egbert is a regular graduate of one of the best medical colleges in the United States, aud is undoubtedly well qualified to practice. It is a lamentable fact, that no one. of our activo, robust, healthy young . men has ever broached the subject of base ball this seasou. If this state of things is allowed to con tinue, crooked fingers and black eyes will become unfashionable. , The July number of Ballou's Magaziue is superb, for it contains such a large variety of reading matter that all must be pleased with it. In addition to the storiua, there are quito a number of excellent , engravings, some of them of a handsome charac ter, and all worthy of particular notice. There is a continuation of the great serial called "That Taylor Boy," by M.
