Aa intimated in our last issue, we shall give oursclf nnd subscribers a rest next week and issue no paper. We . feel tlio need of a rest, if they don't, and beside?, the woodcock season opens to-morrow, and we want to utilize our boss shot-gun. Our next issue will be out on the 17th inst. Rev. V. O. Allen will preach in the M. E. Church next Sunday even ing. Services to commence promptly at 7:30 oclock p. m. The bank was subjected to a gen eral scrubbing out yesterday ; in other words, Mr. Kelly had a bank-wet. -England and Russia have put on their coats again, and matters across the pond wear a serene and peaceful prospect enco more. The Republican party made tho greenback, has maintained its credit, will make it as good as gold, continu ing it as part of the pormanent curren cy of the country. Mr. Robinson has thrown out a portico on the north side of his house, and Mrs Convt-r has had a door cut in the front side of her office and resi dence. It is now lawful to catch bass and those of our citizens who have been holding themselves in for fear of break ing the law, can now let go their hold, nnd go fishing as soon as they please. The young'Qucen of Spain died last week, ot gastric lever, l lie news of her death was received with pro found sorrow and sympathy through out all Europe. Though failing, in some respects, to equal the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia two years ago, the Paris Exposition is voted a success, and the atteudanco, already large, is iucrcas ng daily. Oil closed on Monday evening at 96S cents. This kiud of price makes hard times in the oilr egions, and un loss the market advances we needn't expect developments to amount to much in Forest county this season. A gentleman named Vndrows, who was visitiog in Warren, was shot by a burglar in his room, one eveniug last week, tho bullet entoiinjc the breast and making a severs flesh wound. The burglar escaped, and Mr. A. will recover. Tho 'primary caropiign is . over, and just in time, too, for the heated term has since swooped down upon us in a manner, which, if it had come when the passions of candidates and partisans were raging; might have re sulted in disastrous consequences. Consumers of the "weed" may be interested in the fact that Congress, before it adjourned, reduced the tax on tobacco to sixteen cents it pound. It is not probable, however, that the smokers and cbewers will be benefited as largely' by the reduction as will the dealers. 4 Mercury approaches par, and the Indians are getting on the war-path again. The disaffection is said to have been caused by the dishonesty of In dian agents at least that is the view expressed by a prominent army oflicer. Perhaps a few of these agents' scalps, worn at the belt of the Great Father at Washington, might help matters some. Alex. Dale and Floyd Proper, who have been absent at school for some months past, put in an appearance in town on Friday last. Alex, has beeu attending Buchtel College, nt Akron, O., and Floyd has been picking up knowledge nt Randolph, N. Y. Now is the long vacation, and the boys can put iu a good time hunting and fishing before returning. Hon. M. S. Quay, Chairman of tho Republican State Central Commit tec, has taken rooms at the corner of Tenth and Chestnut streets, Philadel phia, which will be headquarters for the committee during the coming cam paign. Colonel Lucius Rogers will act as Secretary, assisted by Sullivan S. Child, of Ilarrisburg. Tho intention is to make the campaign a most vig orous and effective one. Prof. Monday's mother arrived from Germany a short time since, and is stopping at present with Mr. Frank Monday, a couple of mile below towu She brought with her a second piauo for the Professor a large concert pi- uuo, of which he seems to think a great deal. It is the intention of tho Pro f'tsrior and his mother, we believe, to go to housekeeping in Plcas.'iutville, soou. It is a great pjty that our Legis lature couldn't let our came, laws alone, or else consult with farmers and others interosted, to know whether tho laws they propose to enact aro for the good of tho public or not. This year, everything indicates that we shall have shall have the largest influx of squir rels that we havo had for many years ; indeed, many of our farmers aro com plaiuing of the damage the squirrels have already accomplished. One gen tleman informs us that he has lost up ward of an aero of corn from the rav ages of these little brutes. And the new game law prohibits the killing of squirrels until tho 1st of September, two mouths benco. Why these crea tures are protected by law we cannot understand ; they are simply vermin, and when they are numerous enough to afford good hunting, they are num erous enough to do an immense amount of damage to the crops. We hope this part of the law will bo observed this year and repealed next. Tho Fourth of July occurs to morrow, but the eagle screameth not in Tionesta. The days of glory and gunpowder, firecrackers and patriot iBui, seem to have given place entirely to political agitation and argument However, because we havo grown so morbid, so lifeless, so morose, so un patriotic, it uoesn t louow that our neighbors are neglecting their oppor tunities in the same manner, by an)' means. Whig Hill, for instance, ha3 a Sunday School picnic ; Tjlersburg has a regular old Fourth of July jam borce ; Fryburg has a dance, moistened with the beverage of the Fatherland, and President, we hear, proposes to indulge in a platform dance. Warren will have the largest celebration in these parts, llus railroad sells ex curiion tickets to all points, on to-day and to morrow, at veiy reduced rates We think it would.be the part of wisdom for the Republican party of this District to settle on a man to run for the office of State Senator, as this may be our year. We have elected our Senator when the majority against us has been greater lhau it now is Ninety-six cent oil ha3 a tendency to make the producers selfish, and if their Democratic candidate. Hon. R. B Brown, is not made the district no mi nee, the Republicans can put an oi man in nomination who will carry the whole vote, Republican and Demo cratic, of the Clarion oil region. "A word to the wise is sufficient," and aa we said before, it is time to bo looking around for our man. The School Board of this place met on Wednesday evening last, and settled with the Treasurer. They also decided to have eight mouths of Bchool during tho current year, to commence on the first Monday of September, have two weeks vacation about Christmas, aud then continue until the entire term was fiuished. A levy of 6 mills for school purposes, was made, and' the duplicate is now in the bauds of the Treasurer, A. B. Kelly, Esq., who will receive taxes until the 1st of August, and allow 5 per cent, abatement there on. After that date the duplicate will be placed in the hands of a collector, and no abatement allowed. Mr. Aarou Elliott, of Newtown MilL-i, desires us to inform our readers that he has taken tho agency for For est County, for the'Remiugton Sewing Machine, oue of tho standard machines on the market, and one which it is per fectly safe to buy. The Remingtons make ui inferior articles. Mr. Elliott has put down the prices of the3e ma chines to hard-pan, and will doubtless canvass the county during thesumnver to show up the merits of his machine. As an instance of his rates, we will only say that he sells the full- cabinet machine for $55. Those in want of a machine should not fail to seo Mr. Elliott. . As awituess. Mrs. Jenksia nearly as great a success as Moulton, the "mutual frieud." She has not only succeeded in baflling Butler, but has utterly confounded Potter and his committee and brought to light some of tho devious doings of the Democrat ic party in Louisiaua, which tho "man agers" supposed were securely hidden and covered up. It is to be hoped that the iuvestigatiou will be kept up. "Bottom facts" are what the couutry wants, and they are now being brought to the surface iu a way that is entirely satisfactory to Republicans. Tlams Wanti:i For Bark Haul ing, at Brookston Tannery, Brookston, Forest Co., Pa. 15 Oiu Tylersburg Topics, The following letter was received on Wednesday last, too late for inser tion. However, as some of the "top ics" are of general interest, we give it to our readers. Ed. Tyi.ersbukq, June 24, 1878. Tylersburg is on a whirl and every thing Democratic ; we pray for the reform of Tylersburg. Ed. the rain is over and peace is declared. Green Bros, are selling more goods for the samcnouey than any other man excepttug D. Bowman, who never fails to get all that is coming. Dr. McCorniick has built a very fine Drug Store, the nicest in town ; glass front, brick chimney, and not marble floor ; to be lighted with gas. C. Weber, our popular Landlord, is in Clarion, looking after his license. The cheese-poddlar who put down a well at Haskell's Mill, has returned to Crawford Co., and engaged in his for mer occupation. George Albaugh is at Payne's Mill, sawing staves. lie is a very thorough sawyer. Payne and other parties are making preparations to hold their staves until winter and then run them across to Eagle Rock on the ice. Payne says he will not let the Tionesta Bridge Co. bnlldoze him. As soon as he com menced to ship staves they doubled up the toll and charged him ground rent, and he will not stand that. Parties offer to'haul all his staves to Eagle Rock in the winter, at the same price he pays to Tionesta, aed the merchants can stop their goods there and get them hauled up at the same price as from Tionesta. Payne won't stand to be milked by the Tionesta Bridge Company. The Clarion River is an other outlet for the stave men ; it is six miles to the river, and boats cau be rented at your own price. . A new oil rig is to be built one fourth of a mile from our place, and a well sunk immediately. Come up Forest County men, and iuvest on the bell. Yours Truly, Jkff, REMARKS. After the reception of the above let ter, we interviewed a member of the Bridge Company on the subject of ex cessive tolls, and his explanation of the affair was that the stave men weragiv en special rates of toll to carry staves only, but they had taken advantage of the rates to haul u return load freight, thus keeping others from cross ing after freight, by which the Co was the loser not only of the toll of those kept from crossing, but the amount which the special was less than the regular rate. But alas! this explanation is some what neutralized by a gentleman who claims to bo posted, and who tells us that the stave men have always paid full fare, when they hauled a return load of freight, and in mauy instances havo been charged fifty cents, the. full fare for a round trip, after having paid the special rate in going across with the stavos. If this is the case, the amount charged is not only exorbitant but un lawful, and the company lays itself liable to the law for exceeding the rates allowed by their charter. We thought there wero two sides to this question when we commenced our remarks, but if our latest information is correct, the indignation of tho stave men is not only natural but justifiable. Such charges not only drive tho stave men to seek other outlets, thus reducing the traffic of the bridge and station, but injures the town by driving trade in other directions. We will try to get at the bottom fact3 of this case by tho lime our next paper is issued. Happening to bo on the up train on Thursday morning last, wo encoun tered a portion of Hilliard & Hunt ing's 6how, and wero surprised and grieved to have the young man who tumbled so nicely, turned summer saults on horseback, rode bareback, etc., tell us that he had been drunk in Tidioute, the day before, aud unable to perform, and the Company had fined him fifty dollars. Making iuquiry we learned that the first part of his story was true, but as for the size of the fine we had to take tin young man's word. For Sale.

A. ercival, of Central City, Nebraska, for files of late papers of their respec tive cities. Mr. Ilanna is doing a bit; hardwaro business, and Mr. Percival, we believe, is employed In the Central City Bank, and conducts a department in the Central City Courier. The boys are "though lost to sight, to memory dear," and we wish them all kinds of good luck. -The Derrick of Monday has a let ter fron Clarion, which tells of a young ady of that place, ill with consump tion, who was brought into Forest County to be treated by an Indian doctor. Said doctor is represented a3 iviog in a log cabin roofed with hem ock bark, and is credited with having cured several cases of consumption This is the first we have ever heard of iliis wonderful physician. Can any of our correspondents write him up for our next issue ? Christian K. Rosa, father of the lost Charley, and who has spent an ample fortune in a fruitless search for his missing offspring, has been appoint ed by Gov. Ilartranf't Master Warden of the port of Philadelphia, a position worm $,ouu per annum. Iho ap . K tr mi pointment was mado without solicita tion from Mr. R. and without his knowledge, facts that contribute to the worthiness of the - Governor's motives and the tppronriateness of the ap pointment. We are in receipt of the Fifty- Third Annual Catalogue of Franklin College, situated at New Athens, O., of which the Rev. George C. Vincent, D. D., is President. Thia gentleman will be remembered as one who occu pied the pulpit of tho Presbyterian Church in a very acceptable manner, one evening last symmer. We believe he has some land interests here. The College appears to be well supported, and has a large list of students.
