MURPHY MEETING hon. w. c. n.uMMr.n, of Tilnsville, will address a Temperauce Mactlng, in Tioncsta, Pa., on RIDAY EVE, JUNE 8, 1877, at the Court llouwe. ADMITTANCE FRKE. All are Invited to attend. Mr. Plnmnmr I one of the most eloquent and effective speakers engaged the" cause. Come out and hear hint. Woodbull A Claflin's paper pub ished the first article which led to tho trial of the Beecher and Tiilou caso ; tho N. Y. Timet had the honor of first exposing to the view of an. astonished constituency the failuro of Mr. Tilden to make his affidavits jibe in regard to his income tax ; theTituiville Cour ier, we believe was the first papei to appeal from the decisiou of the Elec toral Commission to arms, and to de mand the blood of the Republican party ; but it is left to the Forest Preet to be tho first and only paper io Chris tendom to oppose the Murphy move ment. This is distinction enough 1 The editor of that paper should tie al lowed to retire on bis laurels 1 That paper only needs to know that some step is being takeu to elevate man kind, and it immediately takes a stand on the opposite side, and there.it will always be found as long as its present editor owns it. But does he suppose that his feeble arm will arrest the march of progross ? Does he suppose that t lias barricade of straw which he has raised will cUock the tidal wave of Murphyism which is flooding our land with joy aud peace and thanksgiviug? Dors he think by his puny resistance to palsy the powerful forces at work in this reform f If. so, he is terribly mistaken. This movement has al ready accomplished a great woik, and is destined vet to lead thousands ine briates to renounce their follies of the past, and help them to become sober industrious and manly men. But why is it that that paper is always found opposing moralitv in all its forms? Is il because it fears that if ail tho in habitants of our tawu and county be come meral, temperate, aud upright that its support will be gone, its mis sion at an end ? It looks very much as if this was the line of reasoning pursued by the editor of that paper Whatever it is, his course justifies this conclusion. Wo hope, however, that there is not within tbe boundaties of Forest Couuty a man woman or child who is so degraded as to allow him self or herself to be influenced by this lirado against MurphyUni. Hilliard & Hunting's Great Ta cific Circus was here venter i''. And j , exhibited ns advertised. The excel Ience oi the entertainment was a sur prise to all. The tumbling, trapeze performance and exercises ou the her rizouial bar were esecially excellent One man threw a forward double sum mersault, aud another a backward one ; being the only fair square double sum mersaults we have ever witnessed There was a side-show which had 8 largo t-erpent and an educated hog There was also a chap who took up a position on the corner next the black smith shop and sold two twenty-dol lar greenbacks at auction, one bring ing $19.00 aud the other 319.50. By this means he got a crowd together, aud proceeded to play a sort of a three card tnonte game with little boxes, in t .ich lie put bills of di liferent denom nations, mixed them up, and sold to those wjio believed they could pick out the one with the big bill in. Not willifctanuiug tne mamiolj warnings given in regard to theso games, some of ouflte and eulightened neighbors got stuck, one of them to the tune of 611.00. We understand tho show took about $500.00 out of our place. Wo understand that a reduction of 10 per cent, is to be made during the present month on the salaries of nil officers and the wages of ail cm ployees of the I. T. & B. Ry. This will again put the wages of the labor era at 99 cts. per day, aud oiler induce nieuts for a mi in Lor of them to bocome tramps. Auy amouut of them are lookiug for jobs at living wages, bat whether they oau get them is a que lion for the future. Lacytown Correspondence. Lacytowit, June 4, 1877. Ed. RueujiMCAN : Dear Sir ; As I expect to spend a few months in the above named place, and it beiug the supposition of the people generally, that I Da Clare has gone to the Black Hills or Oak woods, thought perhaps a few lines from the undersigned oc casionally would be acceptable theso quiet times. Business is quite lively here at pres ent. The hum of the grist mill and the buzz of the saws in the saw mill, greet the earn of tbe inhabitants from early morn till late in the evening. 8. C. Roupe is doing a rushing bus iness ; he has six men in his employ at present, rafting and farming ; he scarcely gives the mill hands time to breathe, his demand for boards being so great Rev. Koapp of Claiion preached to au attentive audience Saturday even ing in the School house just across the creek ; we hope he will favor us again at his earliest convenience. The Nebraska Sunday School reor ganized May 27th. Lyman Cook was chosen Superintendent for the present Summer ; the attendcuce is very good. It is a pleasure to notice the interest manifested by old and young in the school. W. J. Armstrong paid a visit to some of his friends here on his way home from Allegheny College. He is very hne appearing young man and makes many friends as he goes. Mr. J. Flynn's wife presented him with a seveu-pouud daughter last Thursday. Hence the happy smile on papa's face. C. M. Arner, caught a pike below the mill Saturday evening weighing something less than fifteen pounds. Miss E. E. Arner is teaching the public school for the Summer. Twen ty pupils have been enrolled aud at tendance good. As our time is limited we will say no more at present. Respectfully Yours, Mark. Hon. Jno. A. Dale has been quite ill for some days past, but we believe is improving at present. He has nov er been as stout as formerly since he was injured by a railroad uccident some five or six years ago. The pres- cut attack i not considered serious. The Murphy meeting at the M. E, Church on Saturday evening last was well attended, but there was not i great crush. The audience was ad dressed by Rev. Elliot W. E. Lathy, S. D. Irwin and A. B. Kelly, Esqs., all of whose remarks were heartily en dorsod by those present. Rev. Allen made no regular speech, but put in word occasionally where he thought it would do the most good. Five more signers to the Murphy pledge were gained. On motion the home orgaui zation was christened the Forest Coun ty Christian Temperance Union, and the Constitution and By-Laws of the National Chri&liau Teniperanco Union were adopted. For the information of the public we publish them in an other column. The meeting adjourn ed until next Friday evening, when they will meet to listen to Hon. W C. Plumraer, of Tilusville, one of the beet speakers in the cause. Notice of the place is givou elsewhere. Stato Deputy Grand Worthy Chief Templar, G. W.
