Ifo thinks of locating cither in Tctrolia or in Colorado. Tho fiay car went through here yesterday, and we suppose the employ ees of tha U. Iv in this vicinity arc Hush juit now. Raspberry season is here, but few are o?ercd for sale, and those at high figures;, hence the conclusion that these berries aro scarce. ' Notwithstanding the notices by the boro fathers, wo seo no motion to: ward rebuilding or repairing side walks. Tho time is almost up. John Heck continues to Biipply tho town with fresh meat, receiving it twice a week. His next installment is due next Friday morning early. Oil is np to $2.25 now. It is about time for our Forest county ter ritory to loom up. It might have the eflect of putting down prices, but it's worth the trial. --liev. O. B. Clark, and two Misses Jlilands aro visiting Frothonotary Clark at present. Klder Chirk is look ing and feeling much belter than when lie was here last. - Daniel Agnew, who has been for e6ine time past a special policeman at the Centennial, resigned that position a few days ago, and will be at homo' soon. -Tho stave mill is not runuiug full time now on account of the scarcity of bolts: The firm has lots of bolts in the woods, a portion of which will bo driven down tho creek on tho first water. : , . -A meeting of tho members and congregation of the Preshyteiian Church is to be held this evening at eaid church. A general atteudanco ig requested, as business of importance is to bo transacted. Our physicians aro not wearing out their horses trotting over these hills just now. Notwithstanding the -extreme heat, we have not had so healthy a spell in this section for a number of years. This warm weather is producing numerous cases of sunstroke in our Harge cities. On Tuesday of last week, upward of sixty cases, most of them fatal, were reported. We hear of no nse3 in this section. The Pennsylvania State Building At the Centennial has been completed, ind we have received official notifica tion thereof, also an invitation to in spect it. We vill take plcasuro in so doing, when we go down. v A brother at Mr. John Hart of this place, who for somo years past Jias made his home in tho South, came to Williamsport, where his pareuts reside, on u visit, last week. A day iir two after his return, ho went bath ing in the river, and was drowned. Mr. Hart started for Williamsport, to attend the funeral jn Thursday last. We believe he had not seen his brother 4r about six years. -The following in regard to the oil developments in Forest county, which we take from the special correspon dence of the Derrick, will prove of interest to all who have property in the county : "The "Pennsylvania Oil aud Lum ber Association," recently organized by Marcus Hillings, of L'mlenlon, has over forty thousand acres of timber lands in Forest county, on which it is proposed to begin developments im mediately with n view to discover the value of tho property for oil purposes. By the terms of the leases the compa ny must put down thirty wells at rea sonable intervals, which will give the entire tract a , satisfactory test. Tho timber is worth a largo sum, and if oil should be found in paying quanti ty tho enterprise must prove nighly remunerative to its spirited projectors. Tho first wells aro likely to be started on or near Tionesta Creek, about fif teen miles east of Tionesta,. and in any case the result will bo of interest to tho petroleum trade." That was rather a funny scene which occurred during tho sittings of tho "peace" Congress in Philadelphia. Whilst the advocates of peace and non-combativencss were quicntly sit ting in (heir 'Seats, absorbed in the beauty and sacredncss of their belief, a crazy delegate mounted the stand, and imaging himself imbued with . tho warlike spirit of George Washington, snatched a-chair and threatened to demolish all before him. The lay peaco delegates rushed for the doors and windows, but the President of tho meeting, illustrating the efficacy of the principles and powers of his pet theory, stood his ground, until the madman was peized and placed beyond tho power of further mischief. Non combativencss in this instance carried the day ; but it waa fearfully at the expense of courage and will. Tho lunatis . was using what might be called a knock-down argument. ---As the particulars of tho recent battle, in which Custar , and his men were killed, begin to como in, all the savage atrocities which then took place become known. From eviden ces found on the field, and from re turning Indians, proof of these bar baritics furnished, and the story of the sufferings of our brave boys chills the oiood in tne stoutest heart, it is stated that Custer's great heart was plucked from his yet warm body and placed on a pole and made the subject of a horrid war dance. How it must have pleased tho savages to see dead beforo them the youthful general who had so often defeated them in open fight, and yet the kuowledgo of his courage and ability could not restrain their devilish passions and their thirst for blood. The watchman at the Sunerior Mills had a bad scare a few days ago. Being tired with watching, and some what overpowered wih the heat, he lay doftu about midnight, and was soon fast asleep. Shortly afterward the proprietor came in, and seeing the watchman in a favorable position, made a circle around him ivith kero sene, somo feet away, and set it on fire. Of course tho watchman awoke, and believing the mill was on fire, broke for water, and succeeded in putting soma on the five before he realized the sell. Tho thoughts of this individual when he saw- the position would not make good moral reading matter. Geo. A. Jeuks, Democratic Mem ber of Congress from this district voted against giving pensions to the widows and orphan! of the 6oldiers recently killed by Indians in the Cus ter massacre. There was a timo ho would not have received a soldier's vote after such a record, but there are those who now think more of party than of principle Of course this cannot be helped, but wo intend that those who vote for Mr. Jeuks this fall shall do so with their eyes open to his extreme lovo for the soldiers, and their orphans. We have received from the Col lege of Physicians and Surgeous, lo cated at Baltimore, their annual cata logue, alfco tho privilege of nominat ing a beneficiary, student for this county. The bencficiury students ore only known as such to the Professors of the college, and their fees amount to $50 per session, while the regular fees are $155. If any of our young readers, wish to go through this college, we will be glad to hear from them at once. Geo. Sawyer, who was flopped by & spider some time since, is again on his tap, aud dots his regular day's work and eats his regular rations as usual. He u still a little stiff-necked, but that w.ill wear off by degrees. I The water well on Ferd. Wenk'a farm on Dutch Hill, has been put clown 1311 feet, and a fine vein of wa ter was struck at 130 feet. . It is drill ed nearly all the way through solid rock, and is not liable to givo out soon. 1 Tho bear at tho Forest. House continues to be a source of great in terest and amusement! He is full of queer notions and likes sweet-meats. It is no child's play to hold him now, when ho takes a notion to go. How ever he is not ugly. Speaker Kerr is steadily improv ing in health and will soon be ablo to take the Speaker's chair again. Aud Jim. Blaine of Maine, has been ap pointed U. S. Senator in placo of Moirill. Neither Blaine nor Kerr appear to suffer much from iuvestiga tion. Apples, grapes, potato bugs, &c, bid fair to be a good crop this year Watermelons might grow, but nobody plants them about here, and indeed, citirons, as garden fruit are not culti vated hereabouts any more, on ac count of the boys mistaking them for watermelons. Gov. Hartranft was prostrated by sunstroke in Philadelphia, some thing over a week ago, but has almost entirely recovered from the 'effects thereof. Benj. Singerly, for many years State Printer received a sun stroke about the same time, which caused his death in a short time. Peterson's Magazine for August is to hand. The steel engraving "Pick-a-Pack," is ' magnificent. The other illustrations and contents generally, are fully up to Peterson's high stand ard. Terms $2 a year. Address Chas J. Peterson, S06 Chestnut St., Phila delphia. Fresh news from the Black Hills say that gold is plenty, and being scooped up at the rate of about $20 per day per man. . This good news however is qualified by tho .statement that the Indians are shooting, scalp ing, mutilating and burning .miners, at a rate that is discouraging to the average miner. Hon. C. W. Stone,' of Warren, was nominated for State Senator by the Republican district convention of Warren and Venango counties, on the 13tb inst. Mr. Stone is a man of ability and honor and will do good service in the Senate, where he has experience previously. H"i3 election is a forgone conclusion. The "fast mail," which was made a success by means of a good deal of expense and good management is to be discontinued after next Saturday, to suit the economical '-iews of the Lower House of Congress, which also agitated the subject of reducing the army recently. The latter project will probably be given up for the pres ent. From the Tidiouto News we learn that Mr. L. Klein, tormerly of this place, has bought out tho jewelry store of his brother iu Tidioute, and will carry on the business there. We have received no orders to discontinue his advertisement, and presume that all goods left with G. W. Bovard will be attended to by him at rugular inter vals. Several of the old wells AtFazun dus were to have beeu started up last week, but we have had no word from them, and do not know whether they are yet pumping. When they get at it, thtfre will not be such a very pro duction as to make any material change iu the oil markets, although there aro quite a number of small wells there. Croquet, base ball, and even po litics aro at a discount this weather, nobody seems to think of going to the Centennial, nor to the seashore, nor, iu fact, to any other place; such contem plation requiring a degree of energy which is simply unreachable at the present altitude of the' mercury. Peace, blessed peace, is ono of the advanta ge now throughly enjoyed. Siribucr's Monthly for August is to be aq immense thing, and is called their Midsummer Holiday number. It is to contain one hundred aud sixty pages, contributed by tho mott emi nent writer of tho ago. The illus trations will be profuse and artistic. 75,000 copies will be issued on the 20th inst.

I2tf Boy's there's less than n month of the trouting season left. If you1 want a mess you'll have to catch it quick. J In this town everybody tries to beat everybody else on early garden stuff. Now all have had green peas, string beans and new potatoes, but Mr. J. II. Dingman is the only one who has eaten green corn of his own raising. He raised the plants in a hot-bed, and set them out the same as cabbage plants are managed, and bchol 1 the result I Hot-bed corn will undoubtedly have a run here next season. Davy IHlands' swan died last week, and he immediately skinned and dissected it. A bruise on the back of its neck wns all that could be found, and this, it is supposed, caused , its death, which Davy thinks was done with a croquet mallet, by some of the boys. He boxed up the skin and sent it to Williams & Co., Taxider mists, Meadvillc, Pa., to have it ''set up." When this is done, it will present its natural appearance, and cost less trouble and expense for its keeping. He was a very common looking old man in a very common looking light wagon, drawn by a very common looking horse; but when a young chap, who trusted to appearances, came along in a stylish livery rig and tried to pass him, the common looking horse, at a word from his master, just twisted his mouth into a easy confidence and in forty seconds was out of the astonished young chap's sight; going as light and free and easy as a "Light-Running Domestic" sewing machine.
