Draths fio::i uitio Ivreriue liuva generally orcuru d to stranger and at distances from Forest county which had a t.-tu'ency to le.jeij the hor ror always felt when a friend or ac quaintance meets with a violent death. Hut now we ore called upon to chron iclo the death, from the effects of thie explosive, of a life-long citizen of For est county, Mr. John Allison, of East Hickory, who lost, his life on Sunday last, near Scrubgrase. The deceased was running a light raft ot bill-stuff down the river for Mf. Collins; part of the raft was to be de livered at Sct ubgrass, and the raft was tied up about a milo above that plsce on Saturday evening, to lay there un til Mondur, ns the bill could not be delivered and receipted for until that time. On Sunday morning, Allison and a young companion called "Em." Witherell, took a walk down the beach to the monument, about one fourth of a mile above Scrubgrass, which was erected to the memory of of two men who were killed there by a nitro glycerine explosion a few year ago. Near the monument Allison and Wilhertll found sonic old torpedoes, someoflhem being cast, and otheia made of tin. Allison picktd up the largest one, and told 'Witherell ithat he "was goiug to seo wh it it was made of," at the same time pulling out his kuifo. Witherell begged him not to meddle with tbo torpedo, and called his attention to the great danger of explodiug it. Allison replied that he understood what ho was uhout, and commenced picking nt it with his knife, while Witherell walked away a distance of twenty-two feet, as after wards measured. Directly after ho sat down the explosion occurred, blowing Allison to atoms, and knocking With erell ovtr and rendering bin sense less, the blood gushing out of his uosic and ears. He also received a slight scratch on the neck, and one of his hands was somewhat bruised. He tbiuks he recovered his senses quid Ir, and immediately started for tbo raft to inli.rm his comrades of the fate of Allison. On their return tbfy met persons from Scrubgrass who had been attracted by the explosion. Poor Al lison's body was so scattered and man gled that the largest single piece of him found was that jurt of one leg between the knee and hip joints. His leaiuiiio were gathered up and buried on the spot. Mr. Allison was about twenty-four years of age, mid leaves a wife and three children, to niturn his untimely death. His fiii her, F. E. Allison, is in the Black HilN, having started there a few weeks fince. The Doio Council, ut their last meeting levied boro taxes as follow: The general boro tax, levied for gen eral expenses" was laid' nt 3 mills on the uppriiiscd valuation, and will raise a fund of $150 to meet old debts and eti rrent expenses. Fred. Kopp uian was appointed Collector of this tax. In the South AYard, Jus. Doyle was appointed Street Commissioner and Cl lector of work and cash Uxes. The work tax levy is 4 mills and tbo ca-h tax 2 mills. Mr. D. has his du plicate and will commence work soon. The North Ward has not yet appoint td a col lector or street commissioner, but wo uuiltituiid will prolmbly ap point J. S. Hood. The pay of the Street Commissioners was fixed at $1 75 per day ; laborers 15 cts. per hour, and mau and team, 35 cts. per hour. A monstrous Murphy meeting was held in the Court House on Sun day evening last, which was adJress td by ltev. Allen, Col. Rogers, Ilev. Grove, W. P. Mercilliott und S. D. Irwin, Esq., and others. It was the moi-t enthusiastic meeting we have ev er attended in Tionesta, and a num ber of sigucrs to the pledgo were ob tained, and among them were some who have been regular drinkers for years. Another meeting was appoint ed fir Saturday evening next, at the M. E. Church, which, it is understood will be addressed by Esq. Parr, of Clarion, one of the most suceessful lecturers engtiged iu the movement. Turn out, everybody. From a late copy of the Colorado Jluuucr, published at Boulder, Col., we learn that C. L.

In addition to the above business, the Grand Jury recommended that the Commissioners procure a suitable bell to put up ou the Court House, and made some other recommenda tions in regard to the condition of the out-buildings. Court adjourned on Friday evening 25th inst. Billy Blum has a hen whose am bitiou seems to ba to produce eggs as large or larger than Wenk's geese, next door, lie brought two of said fgS8 our office yesterday, and we measured them. The I jrget one was 74x6 inches in circumference, and the other 7ix6i inches. Thx two weighed 7 ounces. A dozen such eggs would weigh 2 pounds, 10 ouuecs, and at 12J cts., the market price, would bo considerably cheaper than beef steak at 18 cts. per pouud, aud have about the same aiuouut of susleuuuco per pound. In the Clinton Democrat of May 24th, published at L-'.tk Haven, Pa., left at this office by Mr. A. II. Darrah, of the Superior Store, we notice the following item, which we would per haps uot have gleaned elsewhere : 'Harvey, Easton A Co. have, dnr ing the past week, shipped one gang lath mill to Collins A Co., East Hick cry, Forest County, Pa., aud one gang lath mill to T. D. Collins, Tionesta, Pa." It is probable that the mill shipped to Tionesta is to lie taken to Collins A Ilolbrook's mill at Lacytowu. Derickson A Co.'s stave tniil at Tylersburg is runniug on full time, under the management of Mr. Adams, of this, place. Tho null here is being run whenever thcjc are bolts iiiougli xv. ri-titv it. Tho Forest Vow of last week publishes the nflidavin of forty five voters of Tionesta Township to tho effect that they vrted for S. H. Haslet for Assembly at last fall's elections. Mr. Agnew s iys he ditcs not deem it Lis duty to meet this last charge of the enemy at the present time, but if in the future it becomes necessary to vindicate the position of himself or his friends, he is able and willing to do so. A "balloon show" has been tak ing in our neighbors of Clarion and Armstrong Counties. We encounter ed the show at Tylersburg on Monday last, and from our observations whilo there, assisted by reports of their op erations while at Edenburg and Elk City, we feel justified in saying that tho members of this gang are as pre cious n set of rascals as ever cut a purse or robbed a till. We have read of several parties being victimized at Elk City", and saw two men at Tylers burg who claimed that their money had been taken from them while in the show, by members of the troupe, who had littlf games which they (the vic tims) didn't even bet on. , Ouc of the parties was trying to get jiutice from -justice of the peace out there when we left. The A of operations is to advertise a free balloon assertion", and to mention nothing about the show inj connectiotriherewith, aud thustogalh er a large crowd ; then to hold the bal loon until all present have an oppor tuuity to patronize the six, w, which is a very inferior museum, and to "rope in" the verdant guitlemcu who have confidence in their ability to pick out the right card, number, r whatever else promises the surest returns. So far these villians have been allowed to proceed without much trouble, but we aru expecting dai'y to hear of -the "show" being destroyed and tho plun derers roughly handk'd. The balloon ascension is a bona fide thing and was performed according to contract at Tylersburg. We give this subject on extended notice because we are to have a circus in town on Tuns-lay next, aud because, whether with or without the consent of the proprietors, gamblers always follow . such exhibitions and make their living by swindling those who aic foolish enough to bet on their games. We would advise our readers to leave their tuirplu change at home on that day, and to bet irnui nothing, uo matter bow plausible it looks. The only safe way is to avoid everything of the kind. The case of little Chat lie Ross is brought prominently before the pub lic again, by reason of a reward of $10,000 ofTered by P. T. Barnum, the great .diowman, for his return. In ad dition to the reward, the showman aud the father of the boy, Christian K. Ross, agree never to appear against the party or parties having him in charge or reluming him, uml to use every endeavor to shield them from exposure. Should the child be return ed, Mr. Barnum, who is to advance the money for the reward, is to have the privilege of exhibiting him until Much time as the money can bo repaid him by th parents, or uutil the pro ceeds of the exhibition amount to that sum. If this attempt fails, it is prob able that the little Charlie Ross will utcver be found.
