The fare for round trip to Phila

We know of several people who are

For the finest quality of farcy pa

We understand that there is to
be a first-class barber io town, to set
op a shop shortly. He is known to
ome of our citizens, w ho will proba
bly vouch for him. This would seem
superfluous, but our citineos who have
patronised some of the fornver tonsor
ia artUts, have lost heavily in ehn
Lacytowi Correspondence.
LacytoWn, Apr. 28, 1876.
Ed. Republican :
Most of our citisens liavo return
ed from their trip down the Allegheny,
aud are uow applying themelves to
the care of their gardens, which, de
spite the wet weather, we notice are
looking improved.
Sam. Grubbs has moved bis fami

Matha intends moving iuto the house
lately occupied by Mr. Grubbs..
Mr. Sam. Walker has been dan
gerously ill for awhile; wo notice
him walking around this morning and
so will report hiru bettor.
We were informed that a scries of
meetings has been held at Oak Woods ;
vi o have expected something of the
kind here, but as yet have not been
favored. There is encouraging talk of
a Sunday School being organized dur
ing the summer ; we hope it may be a
success.
C. F. Gillespie, George Matha,
Kaman, Adam Sipple, and Rev. More,

Prof. Ogden having closed a suc
cessful term of singing school in this

on Monday evening, with a class of
fifty scholars. He proposes to give
twenty-six lessons, one each afternoon

And they're playing croquet again.
Ah ! . well, beasons come and go ;
tides ebb and flow; times of prosperi
ty arrive, and ere gone: hard times
come again. Silver coin takes the
place of fractional currency, Presi
dential candidates are set up and
knocked over. Investigation spends
millions of the people's money, and
few are found guilty. Aud still, cro
quet moves on with or quiet, uuassum
ing, but steadfast hold upon tho peo
plo, and the click of the mallet is
heard in the land.
A. B. Kelly, Esq., who, some
time since, purchased the Oldtown
Farm, and who hf.s since beea steadi
ly making needed improvements, is
engaged in constructing some trout
ponds, on a stream which runs through
his property. We wish him success
in this enterprise, nnd would be glad
to record that many more of our citi
zens had gone and done likewise. The
expense is not great, and the returns,
in the course of a fewears, are large.
Messrs. Dcrickson & Co., in the
Fisher store, have procured the agency
for the salo of the Gowanda Plow,
manufactured by Adams, Jackson &
Bache, Gowanda, N. Y. It is claimed
that these plows once introduced, con
tinue to grow in favor ; that they are
what a farmer wants to work sod or
stubble; aud that they are adapted to
all kiuds of soil. Messrs. Derickson
A Co. solicit an examination of this
plow by all.
Mr. W. G. Irwin, who moved
here with the intention of starting a
handle factory, will not embark in
that business, owing to the fact that
such timber as is needed for handles
cannot be bad in this section. So he
iuforms us. However, he has got his
eyes open, and will undoubtedly start
up some kind of business in a short
time
G. W. Robinson is about to thor
oughly overhaul aud fix up the house
on the corner of Highlaud and Vine
Sts., formerly owned and occupied by
Wm. Diiuond. He will put a cellar
aud stone foundation under it, plaster,
weatherboard and paint it, and will
then have a first-rate house to rent.
Attention is called to the new

Mr. Andrew Cone, of Oil City,
with whom a great many of our citi
tens are acquainted, has been appoint
ed and confirmed as Consul at Para,
Brazil. We congratulate bim on his

We notice that work is going oa
up at the Jamicsjn wells. Believe
they are being drilled deeper. They

Farmers and others, bewaro of
parlies now traveling through neigh
boring counties swindling farmers by
appointing them agents for a patent

of iuducing the victim to sign an or
der, which proves with a littlo mani
pulation, to be a judgement noto.
Not much in the way of garden
ing has yet been done, but about next
week wo may expect to see a general
tearing up of the soil around here.
There were about a dozen men who
had the "Lent garden" in town last
year, and the number will probably be
increased the present season.
The oil well, of Grove t Hart
is being dtillad to the third sand, that
which' they struck at or near 300 feet
having been considered the third
stray. They jvill certainly got oil,
notwithstanding 'J. J. M." of tho
Derrick reported that tho well was
down, and was a failure.
We fiud the following in regard
to Mr. McSweeny, of this place, in the
Oil City Derrick:
"Henry McSwecney.who was admit
ted to the practice of law at Franklin
Monday, passed a very creditable ex
amination. He was a student with
McNair & Hancock."
A big fire occurred in Brookville
recently, and nearly a whole square
was burned. Our friend, D. A. Hen
derson, formerly manager of the Su
perior Store, came nearly being burn
ed eut, but fortunately the flames were
subdued in the building adjoining his
store.
PetrofT, Assemblyman from Phila
delphia, who was concerned in the
Boom Bill bribery business, was ex
pelled from the House on Monday by
k vote of 118 to 46. The case of Ly
iott, on the same charge was set down
for trial yesterday.
Somebody, we suppose G. G.
Sickles, has put fence on the hill
side along Vice St., which diminishes
considerably the pasturage of the
town cows. The land thus fenced in,
is being cultivated, but by wLom, we
are not informed.
It is said that silver is in circula
tion, but we would never have suspect
ed the fact. Nor would we be sure
that all the U. S. and National Cur
rency hud not been retired, had we
not seen some of our dealers paying
fur U. S. licenses.
Wm Blum is putting down a
well for water, by a process, the name
of which is unknown to us. Suffice it
to say, a tube, perferated at the hot
torn, is driven down to where the wa
ter is, and no digging, or walling up
is required.
Navigation on Chautauqua Lake
has commenced. We venture to say
that many of our citizens will take
advantage of the close proximity of
this resort, and the excursion rates
which will prevail during the Fair
Point meetings.
Some part of the engine of Dtr-
icksou's stave mill was broken last
week, and had to be sent away for re
pairs. This will account for the stop
page of the mill for Borne time past,
They will soon be running again.
We notice some of our citizens
planting trees this spring Centennial
trees, we presume. A hundred yearn
hence their posterity mar repose un
der those trees, and make maple su
gar from the sap.
M. Carpenter is canvassing for
subscribers to McCabe's Centennial
History of the United States. It is a
beautiful and valuable work, and is
