Lacytows, Feb. f!, 1876.
Dear Editor :
It was well that you reminded u
of our duty; we were about despair
ing of life, did not know, until last
Monday, t lint . we were "cross-eyed,"
"reel footed," "pumpkin-headed," etc.
Never had becu called "old flirt" be
fore, and as yet have not proponed
that we should receive the "mittcu."
Guess we'll have to join tb A. S.. B.
for consolation.
The township election held on
Tuesday, wn one of interest ; thore
being much opposition, consequently
much electioneering. Voting ran
high fvr certain candidates, each
man tupporting birotelf. Our elec
tions are noted for good order, in gen
eral, never being disGgurod by high
word or drinking.
If you waut bail, political aid, or
hymeneal service, just address him'
a 'Squire Siverliug after this.
The mail bag this and last week:
have been unusually full; no doubt
owing to the oceam of valentines
received. Post matter Ledabur in
forms us that we handle as much if
not more mail (tun any other office on
the line. , t.
One of our politicians was seen
rushing around on Wednesday search

had run for Justice of the Peaco.

Ei. Ri:rfBUOAjr: : ,
After quite a pe
riod of silence I again forward a few
items for your paper. At present
writing the ground is hare aud every
thing indicates April went her. We
have had,' thus far, one of the pleas
antcst winters on record, for this State ;
yet we are fearful of the next two
months, for our winter must come in
someaherc, uuless the Centennial has
a bearing on the seasons that we are
not awnre of.
, By way of improvements here, I
will moution that tho Stevens Point
and Pine River Valley Railroad Co.
have now determined to continue the
above Railroad to Freeport, III, for
the southern terminus, aud to Lacrosse,
Wis., to make a junction at the latter
place with the Milwaukee and St,
Puul Railway. There will be a great
demand . fur laborer when . spring
open, to do the grading,
Considerable excitement it found
here In political circle, concerning
the next Presidential campaign. The
feeding here is io favor of Gov. Hays,
and our State. Delegate are instructed
to upport him at the coming National
Convention,' ' ' . . ;
Busiuess i very dull at present,
money belug very close; our bueiness
men find it difficult 'to exteud their
busineis, consequently we look for
better limes not iu resuming specie
circulation but iu a larger supply of
greenbacks ia the market. We are,
generally speaking, "rag money" meu
here and all that we ask is plenty of
that "promise to pay" by Uncle Sam.
The Black Hill are the point oi
attractiou at preseut, and as soon as
spriug opens many intend visiting
this new Eldorade, iu hopes of mak
ing their fortunes ia a few days ; the L
glowing accounts given by several
who have returned to this quarter
excite mauy.
More anon, N. B. Hood.
complete' history of Peunsyl
vaniu is being compile j at the preseut
time, by Dr. Y H. Egle, of Harris
burg, under the auspices of the His
torical Society, of Pa. The aim is
a complete work,' geographical, his
torical, and descriptive. Each couuty
is to be treated separately, the history
aud resources of each county described
and set forth. The work is to be on
a larger scale than auy thing hereto
fire attomptcd, and is designed to be
a fit memorial of the Crnteuuial year.
Mr. Carpenter, our artist, ha been
taking views illustrating this county
for the work. It will go to press and
be issued iu May. The compiler, Dr.
Egle has secured corrctpoudeuts in
each ccuuty to socure the accuracy of
the work. Forest Co. is written up by
S. D. Irwin I'cij., who is a member of
the above named soriety.
We are In receipt of J. R. Mur
doch's descriptive catalogue of flowers
and seeds. Their place of business is
112Smithfield St., Pittsburgh, Pa.
A lnrgn boiler was taken through
this plnoe bit Monday last en reufa for
Edenburg. We did not learn for
what purpose. Probably to extroct
the dry holes of that region.
A Kerr Hill correspondent of the
Titusville Courier says, "the girls want
something more about striped stock
ings." And now ws'd like to know
what the youug men of that place are
made of.
The Forest Prett office was gor
geously illumiuated lost night in hon
or of- Washington's birthdays The
display was magnificent, and is the
only demonstration of .the kind that
took place here.
A Butler county minister will mar
ry a couple when the bride is pretty
for nothing, but for marrying a home
ly girl he charges double. Derrick.
That minister would starve in Tio
ncsta, even if he had twenty ceremo
nies of this kind to k every day.
, -Clarion narrowly escaped a large
fire last week. - It was checked by the
fire department find water works, the
workings of which are receiving much
praise from the papers of that place,
lucendiarlsm was the cause of the
fire.
Davy Hilands has collected a
string of rattlesnake rattles about a
yard long, and is steadily increasing
it. He expects to make the string as
much longer; and then send it to Phil
adelphia. Thus Forest county will
have a rattling representation at' the
Centennial.
- A tramp printer stalked into
our office the other day so thoroughly
saturated with "tangle-foot," that on
inhaling the odor thereof we became
pretty comfortably boosy.' We gave
him 20 eta. aud told him it was train
time. Its the cheapest drunk we've
had since Lee surrendered.'
Old Sol. united the Groundhog
and Old Prob. iu the bonds of matri
mony recently, and they have ever
since been rusticating at Niagara, which
accounts for the unsettled weather.
They are expected .back about the
first of March to see how the lion and
the lamb are going to make it.
As will be seen by notice else
where in this issue, there is to be a do
nation at the residence of Mr. T. J.
Payne, near Newman ville, on the 29th
insL Should there be such a thing as
sleighing at that time it would be an
excellent opportunity for the young
folk of this place to enjoy a nice
sleigh-ride, besides assisting a noblo
cause.
W. S. Welsh, Republican, was
elected Mayor, of Franklin at the re

redeemed herself by electing D. II.
Mitchell, the first Republican Mayor
for three years. Hurrah for Titus

A week ago last Saturday, 12lh
iust., while chopping wood for Mr. J.
A. Da wson of Stewart's Run, a young
man named Oliver Lefferd, about 16
years of age, cut his right leg just
above the ankle, severing two arteries
and some of the cords. He nearly
bled to death before medical aid reach
ed him.. Dr. Coburn dressed the wound,
and says the young man will proba
bly be crippled, in a measure, for life.
He is a son of Jas. Lefferd of Troy
twp., Crawford county.
Here it is girls ; if any of you
would like to be immortalized uow

The New York Graghie offers to en
grave and publish the portrait of the
baudsQnieat ladjr in any community,
without charge. The lady must be
choson by ballot. The geutlemen
can make nominations, and a ballot
will be had to decide the matter.
We will publish 'any number of an
nouncements aud print tickets free of
charge. Dou't be backward.
.Osborne ' the quack doctor of
whom we spoke recently as having, by
malpractice, murdered a young lady
named Mary Jennings, was caught
and lodged in Meadville jail, and
Is awaiting his trial. The Crawford
Democrat says ; "Ooborue the quack
sent from the jail ou Tuesday to bor
row a spriug lancet of Dr. Chase to
bleed himself. The Doctor took the
laucct aud offered to do the bleediug
himself, but that did not suit Otborne.
He evidently was meditating uuieida
by tapping an artery."
Dr. Blaine and Vogel, who are
attending Mr. M. Ilaggerty, ho. se
verely froze his feet recently found
it necessary to amputate part of the
right fret, taking it Off about an inch
back' of the toes. This leaves him
about two-thirds of a right foot. Off
the left they took four tqs, loayiog
the fifth,' or little toe. Since this opera

. Our Court, at its last session, ap
pointed ' viewers for' the purpose "of
laying a new and vacating the old
road from the Tiohcsta creek bridge
to a point below Dhhridge's mill. The
viewers have located the new road at
the foot of the bill, directly back of
the farms of Wo. Hood aud .G.- W.
Dithridge, connecting with, the creek
road about fifty rods below the mill,
which, if built, will at all times insure
a highway unobstructed by high wa

sides shortening the distance to that
point at least one-half.
: ''A petition is in circulation,' and
is being numerously signed by our
best citizens, for the purpose of organ

1 Next Saturday, 2Gth inst., there
will be a sale of several large tracts of
