new bridge at 011 City, over the Alle

venial reputation, and it has cometo be
regarded as the organ of the crest 'oil
Interests of our Commonwealth.
In this locality the project for a new
county, with Titusville as the head
centre, is universally regarded with
fever. At a recent meeting of Councils
of the city 'a resolution was adopted
which guarantees that the entire cost or
the county building• of the 1313 W sub
division shall be wholly paid by the
municipal corporation of Titoaville.
They are prepared to propose more.
-They will relieve the taxpayers of Craw.
ford county, swallowed Into the new
county, of all taxes assessed on them
for the recently completed court - home
at Meadville. The course of Senator
Lowry, in betraying the Republican
manses in the-late State Treasurership
contest, has weakened the prospect for.
county very materially, inasmuch as
the project is solely in his keeping. Most
people have lost confidence In either
himself or his influence, and be may
as well retire from political life on his
own motion an to await the kicking out
process. Ile is not respected in Ma own
district any more than he he ^•
...riot any more than he is outside of
.i, bat to the contrary is looked awaits
a hardened old political reprobate, who
won sell the beat interesta of the cam.
mown:oth to aubserve a private and.
So far as we could observe, Bob Mackey,
defeated, has more than ten friend, to
every ono who, in hie own district, clings
to the coat tells of /seariot Lowry, the
ennoessfal in treachery.
ApproPos to Lowry, the Oil City
Time., an honest as It is outspoken and
fearless, says: •
' , Some peoples' ideas of economy are,
to say. the . least, .extraordinary. -We
know of one Sisk, Senator who claims to
bo the champion of rearm' and bitterly
opposed to oorruption ' one of whose
Plans of retrenchment is to have a per
son appointed to two offices in the State
Senate, draw pay for both, and act en
tirely as Meamanneneis, Instead of doing
the •Btate aome service.' See the rec.'
ores of the Senate .end Senate Com
mittees."
So much for Lowry. Let him be paned
along the line. The morrow be lowering
for some patriots, and he la oertalnlyone
whom the goda have made mad to de•
atroy. We nominate Benjamin, the
Pittsburgh hero of reform, as hie mucosa.
sor. If Ben hasn't the same unexpended
balance of brains at bla command, he has
at /east as much honesty.

This pretty little loin, the county seat
of Forest, is ea dead as dead can be, at
this part fouler seam= Without • bridge
across the river to tap a railroad, without
• plade of amusement and hardly a Sab
bath sermon once a month, the town is
as golft . as a country church yard. The
people are good, the Jail is empty and
the Criminal thmirt docket exceedingly
light; and these facts speak volumes In
praise of the citizens of the town and
county. Tionesta Is sleeping and dream
ing of agoidart harvest to be , brought to
her by outside capitalist., who have
already commenced to prospect for oil
about her doota. If they are successful
the town hi made; if not, the people Will
ba none the poorer.
Several wells are t o be put down at
once on the hill sides above the town and
several more on Tubbs' run and Tionesta
creek. The prospect. are quite flatter
ing and weleel confident that the future
will dibre than realize the dreams of tba
most enthusiastic pioneer operators in
this section.
On the farm occupied by Mr. John
Carney, a gentleman as courteous, hos
pitable _and clever and as much hon
ored !and - eateeed as any in. Forest
omnsty:llai Ms g m ood traits of character.
three new - Wells win be' sung
al many - months. On John'. account,
and or has estimable lady, we wish a
thorniest& barrel Bowing well may be
struck. and that be may own It all, for
few could make better use of a tartans
and few are more deserving.
