Church on Sundny evening next. W. E. Lathy, Esq., aud lady, of Erie, are at present in town, on a vUU to their friends. - The turkeys nnd gnese bo numer ous in bnck yards, bogiu to read their fate in the unusual abundance of feed these dnyg, The sheriff is kept on the jump these "ripping hard timoD," and there doaent seem to be any probability of a let-up soon. This issue is dolaved on account of the New Constitution, which wo herewith present. Next week we shall bo out on time as usual. Thnt yoke of. oxeu from the hill looked supremely sorrowful after they reached town; having coma sixteeu miles and things so dull. Persons with colic will find relief by riding over our street early in the morning in a springless wngou. Noth ing is so soothingly smootjt. Blind horses may bo niado useful by shootinAij-hcm, and trying out their fat for .boot grease this winter. Their hoofs may bo sold to make into combs. To-day wo present still another change in the O. C. & A. R, Ry. time table. Our readers should read it rap idly, or auotlicr change may take placo before they have become familiar with this one. f Robert Guyton, an old hunter of these regions, has slain from fifteen to twenty dcera this fall already, aud he Isn-'t rightly started yet. ' Wo hope to be able to present the sum total of his hunting after the season expires, Tionesta township has been doing the handsome thing by' the road just over the railroad track, throwing some seventy load of stone and earth iuto the mudholes which havo heretofore made that road both difficult aud dan gerous, J. P. Savag, one of the aborigi nes of Tionesta, who for some yoara has been making his home iu Louis ville, is at present in town on a visit. He proposes to pursue tho pauting deer and do a largo amount of hunt ing while he is here. Robinson &'Bouncr with their characteristic fpresightre erecting a shed 13x40 in the rear of their store for tho purpose of sheltering the teams and vehicles of their customers wheu they come to town. Feed-troughs will be placed Iu position, aud everything conveniently arranged. All our readers should carefully peruse the supplement herewith pre sented. The New Constitution, ani a rush of legal advertising takes up so much of our spaco that we find this the only way to give all our advertis ers a chance. Look it over and you will probably save money. I stood on the bridge at midnight, and watched the dark waters roll ; and was thinking that lifo is a river, on which floateth the poor humau soul, when a voice canto clear through the darkness "Jut givo roe your ten pennies toll." I gave him four postage stamps and walked thoughtfully home ward. Among the many preeminently peculiar characteristics of this lovely rural diatrict.is the custom of every mau being Ljs own street lamp. There is a talk among the couucilmen, of hiritig small boys of good education, to serve out imitation day-light with lanterns ou corners. They wish to pay them in eouutv orders. It is feared tho scheme will not succeed. lleiffiMiCiiii NOVKMJJElt 19. 1373. Next week, in addition to what we already have in print, wo have to publish the Election Proclamation, for a vote on tho new constitution. In the Canada lumber regions tho wages of the lumbermen have been cut down $5 to $7 per month. Tho wages Is this region, we believe have Buffered a small reduction. Coal is coming in very slowly now, owing, we suppose, to the bad state of the roads. We will take a couple of loads if some of our customers will bring them in soon. Sam. Young, the veteran dead heat of the lower oil region is sending out begging circulars, offering his duo bill for the money if he receives any. If any editor except Sam. would con descend to such tricks, his reputation and business would be forever ruined. Peter Fitzgerald, a practical prin ter, who learned his trade in Clarion, has recently purchased an interest in tho Jucksonian of that place. Here's hoping that he may have good luck with his purchase, and may not follow in the footsteps of his illustrious prede cessor. Ilogan aud Allen, the bruisers met at some point near Omaha on Tuesday last. Three rounds wore fought, Ilogan being allowed first blood and first knock-down. During the third round llogsn's friends claim ed a "foul" and rushed into the ring with drawn revolvers, creating a row and breaking up the fight. The ref eree declares the fight a draw. r-iTu many places throughout Ibis city tho holes in the side walks, deep arid dark, do gape JJke hungry'mouths for small pieces of shin, or perhaps, a whole shoulder. Those in any way connected with these horrid and dan gerous caverns, can offer up thanks for peace and plenty with quieter con sciences and greater eclat, by seeing them closed. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, the well known proprietor of Sage's Ca tarrh Remedy, and other pateut medi ciues, was up at -Hickory last week, visiting and hunting with C. L. Han- ua, of that place. We had the plea sure of meeting the Dr. and find him a gentleman of ability and education With his fine dogs, which ho brought with him, he made great havoc among the partridges of Hickory. A fricud of ours, and a frieud of hit, went out hunting during tho late snow, and struck a track early in the morning oud followed it till dewy eve, and came upon a sheep 1 They were perfectly confident Jhey were ou the track of a deer until they camo upon that sheep in the very act of making ihose same deer-tracks. - They have proven dear tracks to those chaps since. T. V. West, the bridge man, has finished work on the bridge at Irviue ton and ucxt goes to Niles, Ohio, to superintend the erection of a bridgo there. After that, we suppose, ho will come back aud put up the Lacytowu bridge, the stono work of which, we understand, js nearly finished. The iron for said bridge is now at the de pot, awaiting transportation to its rest ing place. The river bridge is now in the hands of Hunter, the proprietor there of. Geo. Scott, the former ferryman, now takes his stand ji) tho little house at the west end oT the bridge, and col lects toll without any compunctions of conscience. Mr. Breckenridgo the contractor, has left towu wo believe. Din ing his stay among us ho has gain ed many friends, and won tho respect of all. Should ha ever be called to this place in the future, he will be cor dially welcomed. Several coal houses in towu are infested with thieves, who carry the same away in whatever quantities they can secure. We would advise them to change their tactics, or they may pos sibly fetch up iu a placo where the State will pay for their fuel for some time to come. Furthermore, we would sny, that some of the thieves are "spot ted," and will surely be apprehended if they keep on. So, as a matter of safe ty to themselves, we would recommend thei buy their coal. $2 PER ANNUM. Tho Proposed Constitution. Iu this issue we present tho proposed Constitution of tho State, which, if adopted, takes the placo of that now in force. It is not a political ctuina tion : having been framed by good men of both parlies, with n view to meet tho wants of tho whole people. We wish every one of olir readers "to carefully peruse the document, nnd from his own opinion on it, unaided aud unbiassed by any suggestions or hints of ours. It is a notorious fact, that under the workings of the old constitution our Legislature has had powers, which in their abuse, have niado that body almost totally corrupt. Lobbyists havo passed whatever bills, their'intcrcsts, or those of their em ployers suggested, while bills of gen eral utility were held itt the back ground. Members have been bought and sold by brokers in the persons of lobbyists. We do not pretend to say that even the majority of our legisla tors were so worked upon, but between those who honestly differed on any subject, there was generally a balance of power in the hnnds of those who bought legislation with money or its equivalent. This then is sought to be remedied. Several other points, too numerous fur mention lu it short arti cle,, cry aloud for a new constitution by which we are to be governed. For these reasons was tho constitutional convention called., We present the result of their labors. Tho question to be decided, is : Docs this docu ment meet the wants of tho whole peo ple of tins Commonwealth r is it so fiamed as to keep honest men to the front, and foil viHaiuy in high aud in low places? If your judgement says yes, vote the ticket "For the New Constitution." If not, vote the ticket "Asainst the New Constitution." The election is to be held on the third Tuesday of December, at the usual places of holding general elections, Let the full vote of this county bo polled at that time. On account of tho seizure of the ship Virginius by the Spauiards, while sailing under the Amcricau flag, aud the subsequent execution of upward of one hundred men, part of whom were Americans, the papers through out tho length and breadth cf the land are clamoring for war with Spain The vessel was captured iu neutral waters. It is said that thcro were niu- nitious.of war.aud recruits for the Cu bau army on board tho Vaginitis, but if this were so, it would not justify the wholesale butchery indulged in by the Spaniards. Such barbarisim was here tofore supposed to beloug entirely to tho dark ages, and the revolting hid eousncss of this slaughter of helpless captives is such as to draw down upon tho perpetrators and the powers they serve, the, just condemnation of all civilized nations. The Government is busily engaged in collecting from all available sources further inf'urma. tion regarding the capture of tho Vir giuius and the particulars of the re rolling executions which followed When Congress meets, which will bo iu a bliort time, the question will un doubtedly be taken up at once, and settled either for peace or war. Mean while our navy is being prepared for auy emergency that may arhie, and should there be a declaration of war, an army of 100,000 can be raised in two weeks' time. The whole country will await future developments with anxiety. Monday eaw tho last icsuo of the Petroleum Centre liecord as a daily. The reason for its shutting down is tho hard times, low price of oil, Ac. Mr. Wicker will issuo a weekly so long as he stays there if he receives proper support. Among others, wo aro sorry to iniss the Jiecard from our exchange list, having always been sure of find ing something in its columns worth reading. Should oil come up to u liv ing price, and Petroleum Centre onco more take her place among tho thriv ing towus of tho oil regions, tho lice ord will again illuminate and enlight en tho country at large.
