The Ville contains twenty-five buildings, exclusive of barns and out-liouses. We have two stores supplied with the general merchandise required for country trade; two black smith shops, one vacant at present; one wagon rejiairing) shop; a saw-mill; a grist-mill; one boot and shoe shop; one of the prettiest little school houses in the country, white, with green blinds; one hotel (the Evergreen; which is one the best liostelries in the County, whose gentlemanly proprietor, M.

We have had some heavy rains during the present week. One on the 25tli inst. raised the streams considerably. It was accompanied with some thunder.

Wr Clip The following front the McKean Miner: COLUTKseoKT. I*a , Sept 17.1873. MESSKS. EDITORS :—Learning that there is a supjiosition prevailing in the minds of some of our friends in McKean countv that the wolf bounty act for that county was rejiealed last w inter, I would ' say that that act has not been repealed, but stands ujon the statute book tL same as it has for the last 33 years, i The mistake arises from the fact that Senator Playford of Favette county in trod need a bill to repeal the fifth section of the act of March 20, IS4O, which was j passed. The title of that bill was an Act to encourage more effectually the destruc tion of wolves and panthers in the coun ties of Luzerne. Wayne, Potter, Mc- ! Kean, Ac. The fifth section, whh h alone of that Act wasvejiealed last win ter, related to the fox a id wild cat bounties in Fayette county, and makes no reference whatever to any other county. Hoping this explanation will lie satis factory to our friends in your county. I remaiu Yours truly, C. S. JONES.
