There are seveal very dangerous cesspools in town that should be abated at once, before they breed dis ease. Dmgman & Derricksou are mov ing their mill to the Edmonson tract, on Little Tiouesta, where they will saw oak. The Central House is being re- roofed. Our next Sheriff, Sawyer, and Landlord Browuell are roasting themselves at the job. Clarence Ward bad his right hand quite badly lacerated by getting it too near the slave saw of Cobb's mill, across the river, Monday. Dr. Morrow's children, Misses Martha, Nannie, Tillie, Sadie, and Master James leave to day for a four or five week's visit at their old home in Armstrong. Blackberries, which are said to be abundant in some sections of the county, have not yet touched this market. There would be ready sale for them here. Samuel Bush, who lives abont a mile below Nebraska, reports the kill ing of the father of rattlesnakes one day last week. The reptile measured over five feet in length. Drilling on the new well on the Joslyn farm, Stewarts Run, will com mence this week. It is sjtuate a short distance from the five barrel producer on J. G. Bromley's place. The fare for the round trip to Titusville, to those alio are attending the F. M. oampmeeting will be $1.55 from this place. The meeting begins next Wednesday, Aug. 17. Mr. McDaniels, one of Titus ville's prominent citizens, was visiting Mr. J, II. Dincman yesterday. The Republican acknowledges a short but pleasaut call from him. Burglars are getting in their work on Oil City residences, stores, Ac, and would be well for our citizens to be on the alert as there is no telliug what night a raid may be made. We are authorized to state that Worthy Grand Master, John W Haney and other Grand Oflicers of the I. O. of O. F., will visit Tionesta Lodge No. 369, on Monday, August 15tb. All Odd Fellows are urged to be present. Brilliant meteoric showers are predicted for to night, to morrow night and Friday night, and if the weather is fair the exhibition will be fine. Don't fail to look for them. Dr. Conners of Oil City, affable and pleasant, is circulating among Tionesta's citizens. The Doctor is giving his attention to life Insurance, and represents a very substantial com pany. Esquire J. C. Hoovler was called to Mercer county a fortnight ago to attend the bedside of his aged father, Jacob Hoovler, who died at hia borne on North Hill, that county, aged 83 years. Mr. C. W. Smith of East Hicko ry and Miss Louie Seigworth were married on August 1st, at the resi dence of the bride's father, David Seigworth, near Friburg, Clarion county. Wm. Carbaugb, of Tionesta town ship, reports that he has a stock of corn in his patch which stands nine feet and teu inches in its stocking feet. This doesn't look like a failure in the corn crop. Judge Henderson, of Lebanon county, decides that fruit overhanging a fence belongs to the man who owns the ground over which it hangs and that be can cut off the limbs of the tree if be chooses. Conundrum : If Kepler's income from the Carnahan well is 25 cents, and it takes 25 cents to buy a pound of coffee, (without milk or sugar) how many forged naturalization papers can be successfully cobred with a peach can full of coffee 1 Mrs. John Ciomer and Miss Ell, of Green township were in town yes terday. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Cromer is still laid up from the effects of a cut on the leg received last March, erysipelas having set in. -Mr. Fulton has at last struck water in bis well, which is now down G3 feet, the last 15 feet of which was kicked down by the old-fashioned pro cess of drilling for oil. And, by-the- way, they found bo roe oil in the well, too. Great preparations are making in Oil City for the veterans reunion to be held there on the 25th inst. It will be the largest gathering of old soldiers ever held in this section, no doubt. Slow Post of this place will attend iu a body, we bear. . Forest Coouty's Democratic pa per, the Vindicator, came out last week enlarged to seven columns, aud otherwise very materially improved. The Democrats now have a paper which is a credit to the party, and in which tbey can take just pride. A. B. Root, Sr., who accompanied the Hickory colony to Washington territory, returned last week to arrange his business for leaving and settling in that section permanently. He renorts all the Forestonians well and comfort ably settled in their new home. The premium list of the Venan go county fair to be held io Franklin, Sept. 6, 7, 8 and 9, is at hand, and is perhaps the most complete of any yet issued by the association. There is no discount on the Franklin fairs; they are worth going a long way to see. Mr. W. A. Grove came home last Saturday from Kentucky, where, with his brothers, Wilbur and Park, and Frank Hunter, he is engaged in drill ing for gas. The extreme beat so af fected Ab. that he was compelled to come north and get a breath of pure air. While Kepler is riding the county over blowing his bazoo to everybody he can get to listen to him, and beg ing the Democrats to everlastingly disgrace themselves by voting for him it wouldn't be a bad idea to explain whether be did not vote for Just is Shawkey against Maj. John Peterson ; J. B. Acnew against J. T. Rose; for N. 8. Foreman against Thos. Flynn for Judge Arner against Wm. Hood for C. M. Shawkey against John A Hart; for Peter Berry against J. B, Watson ; and whether he voted for S, II. Haslet in 1876 1 At the same time he might state how, according to his own words, he robbed the taxpay bra for five or six years. The following are the dates and places for the State fair and for county fairs in these parts: Pennsylvania State Fair, Pbiladel phia, Sept. 5 to 7. Chautauqua County Fair at James town, N. Y., Sept. 5 to 8. Warren County Fair at Warren, Aug. 30 to Sept. 2. Franklin Fair, Sept. 6, 7, 8, 9. Sugar Grove Fair, Sept. 15-18. Butler Fair, Sept. 13, 14, 15, 16 Erie Fair, Sept. 20, 21, 22, 23.

One of our exchanges mentions that an agent is doing the towns and counties selling little clocks, which pretend to be so constructed that you can toll the hour at night without the aid of a lamp or other light. It's a fraud, and we warn our readers against purchasing any such clocks. The new marriage law for York Stale goes into effect on the first of September. A liceose must be pro cured before marriage, and a man under 21 and a woman under 18 are prohibited from marrying without the consent of parents or guardiaas. This makes it tough for preachers living along the borders, as their revenues will be very much curtailed, and the average young man must now either fish or cut bait, The man Kelly, whom Esquire Towler, of Marienville, sentenced to six months in jail for petty larceny, made his escape Monday, by scaling the wall of the jail-yard, into which be had been let for a short time, by tearing a board from the wall, by the aid of wbieh he climbed to the top. He took to the woods, and when last seen was making tracks fur Marien ville, where he staid previous to his conviction. Sheriff Agnew was absent at the time. The storm of last Friday night, while quite severe at this place, was nothing compared with the effects in surrounding towns. Oil City was washed and drenched until the town looked so cleau the inhabitants hardly recognized it when they woke up next morning. Franklin was also quite severely dealt with. The effect at Grand Valley must have been won derful, according to a correspondence in this issue, in which the play of the elements is vividly described. Pleasantville correspondence to Titusville Citizen: Since the develop ment at Shamburg has proven so re munerative a good deal of attention has been paid to old territory and we confidently expect that sooner or later Pithole, Fagundas, Mew Londou and Enterprise will again come into prom inence as producing sections, indeed, considerable land has already been quietly picked up in those localities, and it needs nut the stimulus oi a aui 1 Kepler's Coffee Mixed Again. arjnoarket to cause this whole section to a rain assume character on an oil field of respective dimensions. We have the meagre particulars of the destruction by fira of the dwell ng of Daoiol Brecht, who lives at Beaver Valley, Hickory township, on Wednesday last. Everythiug, except the clothing from one bed, was con urned, even to a hundred dollars in cash which Mr. B. had laid away for rainy day. His barn was saved only by the greatest efforts of the neighbors. Mr. Brecht is a hard working industrious farmer and the loss falls heavily upon him. We are not informed as to whether there was any insurance on the property. Speaking of the proposed probib itory amendment, Kepler's sheet says it is "to be voted for at the November election." For consummate, inexcus able ignorauce commend us to Kepler, Any ordinary ignoramus, who sets himself up for an editor should know that the amendmont must pass anoth er legislature before it is voted on And still this lunk head has cheek enough to aspire to the county com mieeionersuip. Well, when tbe peo ple want a loud mouthed ignorant, blow-hard for that office, Kepler's claims cannot be overlooked. "Don't you understand." The Bradford Era gave the names of a number of producers who favor a shut-down. Among them are Van Vlock & Mitchell, James Amm, Cole man, Penny & Payne, John" Cochran, John Den man, Woods & Young, Ralph & Tucker, Captain Jones, Dr, Van Scoy, C. B. Whitehead, P. M Shannon and E. II. Jennings. These, it will be remembered, are all Brad ford producers, and Bradford wells are very small. We do not notice in tbe list tbe names of T. W. Phillips, John McKeown and other kings of tbe trade whose product offset many square miles of Bradford wells.

E. enk, who lor years nas publtsue J a newspaper worth double the price of subscription as newspapers run. Tbe addition of another coluiuo to each page is an improvement which makes the Republican equal io size to mauy papers published in much larger coun ties, while, in its able managemeut it is still further iu the advance. The republicans of forest owe a ddbt to their organ, which it is to be hoped, they will be more prompt to discharge than is the general custom, ileadville Gazette. In a two-column tirade, incoherent and befuddled as usual, Kepler makes what he doubtless intends for a con fession of his connection with tbe no torious and damnable coffee colored naturalization forgery, in his last week's sheet. If any man who wears bair can extract any sense out of bis tirade, other than that quoted from the Republican, we'd like to meet him. To divert attcntioo from him self he rings in something about one O'Mara, a witness in the coffee inves tigation, whose bad character be was called to prove. Ye gods! What a monstrosity I Jake Kepler called as a witness to prove that some one else is a bad man! Shades nf the notorious Guiteau! Turn over in your grave! Can you look with complacency upon this infringement on your reputation! But why parley. Kepler has pub lished the charge in his own paper that this infamous crime was commit ted iu bis hotel (?) Now listen to the sickening and disgusting explanation he made of the coffee business iu 1880, when we had occasion to stick it at him. Here's how he tried to slink out of it theu : "Since there has been so much said about coffee, we will give tbe true facts. During the last two years of the late war, we were proprietor of several stage lines running from 1 nil lipsburg to Clearfield, and one to Cur wensville, also proprietor of a hotel at Pbulipeburg, a terminus of Ibe rail road. Passengers took dinner at the hotel before taking the stage. During that time there were many soldiers who were returning home on leave of absence and other causes, and frequent ly some of tbe soldiers were without funds, and we, tbe proprietor of toe hotel and stage lines would always feed those without money the same as those who bad tbe money to pay, and many times luroisbed tbem with a lunch and good strong coffee to carry them through, besides giving tbem free transportations ou tbe stage lines. This is the cause of our notoriety. We were only waiting all this lime for our neighbor to give the facts, but as be did not, and wanted to make political capital out of it by so industiiously harping on the coHee business, we deemed it our duty to give facts in the case. The question now remains, in the light of your double confession, when were you lying in 1880 or in 1887? It is a matter of little consequence, to b? sure, since you bave lied, but it might be well to state when. A SERIOUS GAS EXPLOSION AT GUSHER CITY Result in the Destruction of Sever al Buildings, and Seriously Burnt Two Women. . On Saturday evening last about 7:30 p. m., the people of (Junher City, this county, were startled by a terrific ex plosion. On hasty Investigation, the St. Petersburg House was found to be n muss of ruins and till on Are, caused by a leaky gas pipe under the house. The house was occupied by a family named Phipps. The fttmily consisted of Jr. Phipps, his wife and child and a lady by the name of Lizzie Manaon. Jlflss Jason was In the act of light ing the fire in the stove. She struck a match and the explosion followed. aViss ilanson was seriously burned Internally, and Is not expected to live, Jrs. Phipps, who was standing close by with the bady in her arms, was badly burned, but neither mother nor child are considered burned futally Mr. Phipps lost his all, besides $33 in cash, which was In the house. The citizens are circulating a subscription paper for their relief. The number of buildings burned are as follows : St, Petersburg House, owned by John Reagan.loss $600 ; Conway & Graham, groceries, loss $3,500; Insurance $1,100 The next building consumed by the fire was the town hall.

Anderson, Captain J. J. Haight's cottages, the Captain was on business at Warren On returning at 10 p. m., he found his pleasant home in ashes. The next came the residence and postofflee of our worthy postmaster. The fire then spread to the residence of Charles Beebe and W. B. Rice, where by the heroic efforts the fire was got under control at J0:80 p. m. Conway & Gra ham, grocers. W. S. Cole, Charles Beebe, A. L. Anderson, and W. B, Rice, will all rebuild again. C. W.

Remarkablo Electrlo Display. A remarkable display of electricity was witnessed by lovers of the sublime at Grand Valley, Pa., on Friday eve ning, Aug. 5th. Rain fell in torrents from 5 o'clock until 8; there wus but little atmospheric disturbance. Tbe clouds coming from the northeast meeting others apparently coming from' the.Bouth west and for two hours the elements appeared to be at war. The most vivid flashes of lightning darted from the clouds to earth, fol lowed by deafening peals of thunder. Like a mighty pall the over hanging clouds of blackness remained motion less. But the roost remarkabl" rstiite of the phenomena was tbe frantio dis play of luminous meteors, differing from ordinary meteors, by paying no respect to the laws of gravitation, Ralls like hre would tall to within a thousand feet of the treetops, then burst or explode like a bomb or rock et, seuding innumerable fragments at right angles from the travel of tbe mass. These explosions were followed by a tbud not uulike that of distant artillery fire. Other bodies of the strange matter would form, dart off horizontally in an easterly direction for a considerable distance, then turn squarely upward aud fade away ; and others assumed a serpentine figure, leaving a lurid trace of their travels, Then another rivaled all other freaks, by towering upward in the form of a spiral ; at limes large masses of the mysterious matter would form, then dissolve and descend in a shower like drops of molten gold. Beautiful, grand and sublime was the pageant that provokad emotions of delight and fear, from the astounded beholders. J. G. W Report of Hunter Station School. A price has beeu put upon the head of the sea serpent by showman Barnum, who oilers $20,000 for the monster dead or alive. Here is an inducement which induces.

Auciist weather proverbs : When the dew is heavy In August the weather gen erally remains fair. When In the beginn ing of August thunder storms are passing they will generally last to the end of the month. When in August the aim Bhines warm and moon and stars are bright it is good for grapes, because they then ripen well. When it rains In August it rains honoy and wine. If tho first week in August is unusually warm, the winter will bo white and long. When tho months of July, August and September are un usually hot, January will be the coldest month.

In the contest about collateral iuliori tance tax upon the estate of John DuBols a decision has boen rendered in the Clear field courts by Judgo Krebs in favor of the Common wealth. Tho largo amount Involved, and the nature of the enso bave ctaaed it to attract general attention. John DuBois was one of the most extensive and wealthy lumbermen in tho State. IIo lived at DuBois, Cloarlield County, where he had a largo body of timber land and extensive saw-mills. He died May 5, ISSfl, unmarried, aged 77 years and reput od to be worth millions of dollars. His nephew, John E. DuBois, claimed nearly all tho property under a deed of January 17, 1KK4. Tho unpaid collateral Inheritance tax amounts to $136,000. It is supported tho case will be carried to the Supremo Court. The Clarion correspondent of tbe Pitts burgh Sunday Leader says : "David King, the murderer, whoso case has been taken to the Supreme Court, grows more conn deut each day that ho will never hang. The future does not soem to bother him much, and ' is for tbe present, many a mau would worry aud fret more shout being shut up for a few dollars cost than King does for his life. During the trial It was said the confinement waa telling on his health, and that he would not live to be hung. Thore is no complaining now, and he doos uot look as if bo had any notion of quilting this world in a natural way( but struts back and forth In his cell like a well fed, bale aud hearty dude. He longs for the companionship of Mrs. Dinsmore, his associate in iniquity and murder who, occupies a coll on the same floor, and ploads Io tho turnkey to permit him to visit her. But it is iu vain ; he is never out of Ids coll, and will be kept there un til he marches out under the shutlow of the fallows."
