Coob Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Clara E. Hunter ; Librarian, W. D.Adams Assistant, Cora Knox ; Organist, Mrs Alice Shriver. A bill, now before the Legislature, relative to changing the mode of draw ing juries, will be found elsewhere is this issoe. As will be seen it proposes to dispense with Jury Commissioners. As the expense of keeping up theso officials although not very heavy amounts to something, we don't believe the taxpayers will growl if the bill should pass. Mr. D. F.

With this issue (the Forest Re- I'UnuoAN enters upon the fourteenth year of it existence. For thirteen years it has battled and stood the storms fo journalistic life, and has conquered every difficulty. To-day' it stands out with head erect, ready to battle for the beet interests of the com munity in the future as in the past. Its highest aim has ever been to be a respected and welcome visitor to its esteemed subscribers. . It has become a fixed and settled resident in Forest couaty, and is becoming more popular with each succeeding year if we are to judge from the many new accessions to its subscription list from week to week. Within the past two years near ly three hundred now and substantial names have been placed upon the books, all cf which is extremely grati fying ted oscouraging. The Repub lican has always endeavored to hi courteous and respectful towards its political opponents ; ne7er htd any selfish or personal epleao to satisfy upon any one, and has uavr been tainted with malice and hatred. Whatever rsay have been the personal feelings of its past or present publisher they have never been allowed to mar its fair pages. "With malice toward none and charity for all" the Repub lican greets you and makes its four teenth annual bow to its many patrons and friends. 1 The question of a new school building in this borough will be voted on next Saturday. It is a question of grave importance to every man, woman and child ia the borongh, and as euch ahould be acted upoa with cool and careful deliberation. The question has agitated our citizens considerably dur ing the past few weeks, and the discus sions have been rather warming at times. The only objection to the meas ure has been the probability of higher taxes, the opposers contending that the people could not stand the raise. To be sure, it would be unwise to vote up on ourselvts a burdensome and un reasonable tax, but such need not be the case. It is proposed to build a five thousand dollar school house. That seems like a pretty big figure for Tionesta, but we believe she could stand it without bankrupting a single citizen cr property holder. But we say let that be the maximum figure ; don't go above it. If a first claas brick building cannct be completed foi that amount, then build a frame atructure But by all meAns let us have a decent, comfortable and sightly edifice. The old house is, as all know, entirely in adequate for the purpose, and to build an addilion to it, as has been suggest ed, would simply be throwing money away, yet this will have to be done unless a new building ij erected, as the old Universalist church is uo long er fit to educate little children in Good schools are the best recommen dation for a town that can be had, aud will go farther toward building up a place than anything else. This no one will deny. When a stranger contem plates making his residence ia a town his first question invariably is : "What kind of Bchools have you ?" The 6chools are always first ia his miad and taxes afterward. W don't wish to dictate ia this matter, bud if we thought it was going to be in the least a detriment to the place we should be the last oue te advocate the measure, Let every voter cast hi ballot as he honestly believes ia right, but let him first cast oft all selnsh or penurious motives. Should the project fal through now it may be ten years be fore we will have another chance to vote on the question. An Aecident. To-day as Messrs. Braunsteia & Headman were passing through the wilda of Forest Co., they met with serious accident on their journey from Whiff Hill. Ta., to Ridgway, Pa While passing down Brush Camp Hi their horse, man and wagon were thrown over the read aud landed iu the valley below, a distance of about 150 feet : the hill has an angle of about 00 degrees, luckily the man es caped uninjured ; the horse was bruised considerably, and the goods were scattered from the place where the wagon ran over the road te the valley below ; the wagon is all brokeu up This road is in Howe townthip ; it is not passable for teams ; a man can get along by some exertion. It is a dis grace to the township, and has been returned repeatedly in our courts. Respectfully, J. D. C. Porckey, Forest Co., Pa Mar. 19, '81. Forest Oil Notes. The excitement in' 'the vicinity of the Blue Jay strike still ' rons high, and oil men are being attracted to that locality in spite of themselves. New rigs are going up 'and everything is indicative of livuly times in the near future. Shultz & Morck, who have the moat extensive leasos around the new well, have a rig up and will com mence drilling forthwith. The new strike holds out gond and is now a '25 barrel well, good and strong. It has never been shot but flows naturally, and has since it was struck, which is conclusive evi dence that the source from which it draws it supply ii unlimited for a time at least. Doubtless if the woll was torpedoed it wonld go oue or two bun- red barrels; competent judges think this to be the case. AT BALLTOWN Messrs. Grandia & Berry are start ing a new well, oa the west ei.le of the creek, about an eighth of a mile north of their No. 1 well. If oil is not found at the ordinary depth it ia their intention to drill deeper than has ever been attempted in Forest County. We understand Mr. Ja9. C. Welch, a driller of long experience, )&s the contract, and the well will be finished in a very short time. Neilltown Notes. Mud, muddier, muddiest.

Miss Mjera, who officiated as priestess in the temple of learning, will care for the "rising" intellect. Pov erty Hill is two meah ahead of the rest of civilization in the 24 hours.' Mr. Black has gone, and now Dr. Jenkins talks cf going as Eoon as the weather permits. Mr. Black's goin is a loss not easily supplied, and while he doesn't hardly deserve it for leaving us nevertheless we wish him prosperi ty, peace, end if there be any other good thing in his new home. Via. NeiHtowu, March 28, '81. - Lineville Locals. Thinking that a few items from our pleasant town and vicinity would be acceptable, we send tho following : Mr. David Ebinger, our produce man. is still drivinc "d mools." but he says Oil City ia a bad place. Miss Lutisha Kahl, who has been eeriously ill for nearly four months is no better, and her recovery is still doubtful. Mrs. Fannie Seigworth, who has been on the sick list for a while, is fast recovering, and is again able to be up and around. The farmers here are all well pleased with the present Mate and appearan ces of their crops, and are looking forth for a season of luxuries, no preventing Providence. W. F. Bower and A. F. Korb have been tunning a threshing-machine for two past seasons ; this winter they have been running a school-marm in Co The former works very well, but as to the latter we are not as yet able to state. Mr. A. Markley and A. Ditz, Fryburg, have bought and set up a limestone crusher t that place, and are at present busily engaged manu facturing lime-dust, which it is claimed ia more beneficial to the soil then burnt lime. The price of crushed lime is from three to four dollars and one ton it is baid. is equal to about ten of burnt lime. J. II. L. Lineville, March 28, '81. Card of Thanks.

Mabie & Hunter will have about seven rafts this spriDg to go down the river, of which several have already gone. There were no services in the Pres byterian church last Sunday ou ac count of the death of the mother of Rev. Gilleland. C. G. Coltman has given his cigar and confectionery store a general dressing clear through, which makes it look very neac. The Tidioute Savings Bank will have their new door for their safe the first of this week. It was shipped from New York last week. The M. E. Church social at Dr. Kemble'8 last Tuesday evening was the best attended considering tho weather, of any this season. The net cash receipts were thirty-four dollars, which is the best yet. A sad accident occurred last Friday across tho river about four miles below town, hy which a German named Cas per Kraua was killed. They were rafting timber at that point and while Kraua and stv 'al othera were start ing a stick dowu the bank, Krau?, iu trying to get out of the way, slipped and fell on his face, and while in that position tho timber passed over him killing him almost instantly. He was conscious only for a miuute. They carried him to Mr. Funks, who lives a short distance from the place of the accident, where he died iu about twenty minutes. He was a single man about twenty-five years of age. Ha lived with his aged widow mother, who is about seventy years old aud of whom he waa the only support. J. ' Tidioute, March 28, 1881. DIED. NYKUIU.. Iii Xoilltown, Forest Co., Pa., at her homo in her mother's house, March 17, 18S1, Mrs. Lucy M., wife of CO. Nyburjr, and daughter of Peter Landers, deceased, and Mrs. Caroline Landers, of puerperal fever, aged 20 years, 1 month and 1 days. This sad event, so sudden and un looked for, falls with a double sorrow upon hearts already filled to the full. Mrs. Nyburg had been sick for a short time about four days preceding her death, and it seems more a dream, ter rible phantasm, than the sad reality it is. The tuneral services took place on Saturday following her decease, her body being laid away iu its last sleep in the churchyard at Neilltown. Rev. McLaughlin coDducted the services. The number ii attendance attested wfcll as to the high estimation and re spect in which the had been held while living, and also to the sincere sorrow awakened by her death. Mrs. Nyburg was a member of the Presby terian church uud a christian; aud while her calling awy brings a cup of bilterucs, overflowing, to the lips of her husband ami family there is sweetness in the thought, there is liht in darkutes fioin tho lUiUi'tince, that she has gone "to bo with C'luift which is far better."
