V. -Remember the meeting of .the Hayes and Whoelor Club at the Arbi tration Iloom of tho Court House, on Saturday evening next, at 7:30 p. m. sharp. Good speakers will address the meeting. : 1 ' Wc have no fresh news from Mar icnvillc, Jcnks twp., ahere two well are now being put down.' But if oil is struck in paying quantities, wq will undoubtedly hear of it at once, and our readers shortly after. ' The teachers and pupils of the borough schools closed their session on Monday afternoon a little earlier than usual, aud wentchetoutlingin a body. We supposo there will not bo many left now, for outsiders. j Capt. Knox has purchased a new hand Cider Mill, of ft very .' neat : pat tern, and will commence to squeeze out his cider shortly. We suppose be wouldn't bo induced to lend it until be ha fqueezed out at least one "cheese." The voters of Whig Hill aud vi cinity will notico by an announcement in auother column that there will bo a Republican meeting there on Fri day evening next. Let there be a full turnout, as there wilt be good speak ers in attendance. Croquet, base ball, summer bats, linen and alpacca. coats, low shoes, and other summer necessities have given place to indoor games and the jiabilaments of winter. Tho fact of the business is,' that if it were not for tho Presidential canvass, we would be decidedly dull about here ' r J. II. Fones has raised the Ilayci .and Wheeler flag on a pole in front of Jhe American Drug Store. The stars and stripes float proudly above the names of these who will take the first and second positions iu the govern ment on the 4th of March next. The addition, or splice, to Ein stein's store is finished, and he hag now a very neat and comfortable store room. When Haslet's store is finish ed, all our merchants will be well sit uated, as far as good store-rooms are concerned. Whether they are well fcituatel iu other matters depends Roberts, .the. torpedo, man has about eighty suits iu progress against parties infringing on his torpedo - pat ent.' i It is- ftmrored-UiRt he, intends pushing Geo. Newton, th'e'cngineer of the Ilell-Gato affafr, for using water tamping in the mine. 'Can anybody tell us whethei? Roberts' patent covers the ramming down of ant Ely-wad on powder and sliotj in a gun-barrel or shell ? If it doe, we propose t Invest that $80,000, which wo made on tho late rfee of oil, in the name of the woman Vhn bears our name and shares our fortune. Becanee we have used the Ely wad, and we couldn't do otherwise than plead guilty if wo were indicted, j . ' ' I Geo. Hunter has put up a rig, and is sinking a well naar the depot, di rectly back of the house formerly run by Reese Neil!, at . a hotel. Should the venture prove a succossitwill give the oil business a little start in this section, and hasten developments in Forest County. Prominent oil men are casting their eyes in this direction, believing that the next good oil field will be discovered within the limits of the county somewhere. This should encourage wild-catting, because when a wild-catter strikes it he generally comes out with much wealth. The Forest Press put in an ap pearance last week, and in it wo can not fail to notice the Randall case, be cause it takes up almost nil the avail able apneo in the paper. We must siy however, that Conver's style, of treat ing this particular case, is so faultless, his figures so elegant, and his argu ments so close, that there' is not much left to say on the subject.' We" will thcrefjro let tho matter rest as it - is ; becauso another aucU au tuteuse polit ical article would undoubtedly crush the life out of the Republican party of Forest County, and then Tilden would be elected, sure. , "The Democrats have carried Geor gia by a large majorityand there are a number of the "uuterrified" who re' joice as heartily over it as though they had earned a doubtful State. Georgia ii one pf those States "-which the De mocracy can count on surely, when they are figuring upon a "Solid South" to carry Soapy Samuel through. There is nothing alarming to the Republican party, nor 'anything particularly en couraging to the Democracy iu this last instrnce of "The Dutch taking Holland." Soft coal is scarco and high at present writing, ou account of the bad state of the roads. Only a fw loads have been brought in for the past three weds, and they sold at 15 aud 1G cts. per bushel. When once the roads dry up, however, coal will not "be so much of a luxury, and sellers will doubtless come down in prices. If we have any good sleighing during the coming win ter, wc expect to buy coal at low as 10 cts. per bushel. The price at the banks, we believe, is from 4 to 7 ctonts per bushel. We understand that the well put down on John Thompson' farm, at Stewart'B Run, by McLaughlin Bros., was a failure ; but that such indica tions were fnund as to eneourag the operators to try it again, on another part of the place. The new venture wjll undoubtedly be commenced at once. In that vicinity, somewhere, there must certainly be oil ; as paying wells have been found on almost all sides of it. We only hope that the operators will continue developments until they find it. A large aud enthusiastic Repub lican meeting was held at Brookston, in this county, on Tuesday, Oct. 3d. Mr. J. C. Rowland was called to the chair, and Mr. D. Graham was made Secretary. Tho meeting was ably ad dressed by W. E. Lathy, Esq., of Ti onesta, at the close of whose speech three rousing cheers were given for Hayes and Wheeler, and the whole Republican ticket. . Brookston will give a good account of heiself at the coming election. - , . . It is now too la,te to pay taxes to mako that vote legal at the coming election. But it is not too late to scratch around and raise the money on general principles; and it had bet ter be done, too, because the duplicates, aro in the hand of those who will bripg the taxes or the body of the de linqueot. The Congressional Conference of the Erie district has nominated L. F. Watson, Esq., of Warren, a the Re publican candidate foi Congress iu that district. The ohoice is a good one, and Mr. Watson will undoubted- 1 V I. A Cil.W'U I . Diogman aud Derickson are bus ily engaged this week, driving stave bolts down Tionestft creek. They ex pect to get enough down on this water to run the mill steadily all winter. Mr. H. A. Adflms, we understand, Las taken a contract of cutting up the bolts, hence, the natural supposition is that the mill will be run to its ut most capacity, and money made both for the proprietors and the contractor. The Tate'stormy weather seems to have driven tho squirrels out of the reach of the average sportsman. Per haps they will come around again du ring our Indian Summer, which will soon put in an nppcaraoco. In the meantime, hunters are keeping a sharp look-out for pheasants, and occasion ally, one wastes much valuable time looking after deer. frs. P. O. Conver departed fof the ennial last week, in company with . Haslet and Gordon party. There are a number of our citizens who have attended tho exposition whose names we have not chronicled, because it was impossible to keep track of them. Mr. J. R. Chadwick started last week, and Mr. S. A. Varner will probably go this week. -The Republican clnhot Fagundas has raised the boss Hayes & Wheeler polo of Forest county. It is about 110 feet high, without a splice or flaw, and is as straight as . tho lecket it repre sents. The Democrats have also raised a pole there, a smaller one, bnt it is of hickory, and the bark on it is like un to Tilden's war record scaly. , We were last week informed that some oil oil wells at Little Hickory, about four miles north of this place, would be itartod tip on Monday last. There were some good wells at that point once, but they, with many ethers which would now be considered good wells, were abandoned during the Pit hole excitement. " -Tho bear element is making a vig orous, and somewhat successful attempt to reduce the price of oiI. Producers, however, are holding for better prices, which they will undoubtedly get pretty soon. There is no present dagger of oil going below three dollars, at which figure it pays tfie producer a very fair margiu. There is conBiderabfe1 tlilk going on of wells to bo put down nil around lis, but we believe the parties who arc talking of putting one down on Chas. Hill's place, mean business. Mr. Hill's farm is some three miles north of Tio nesta, ou the same 6ida of the river. . We have been enjoying a few days of very respectable weather, and, as a consequence, a great amount of buck wheat has been harvested and thresh ed. The buckwheat crop is rather light this year, and undoubtedly some of it has suiTered during the past spell of wet weather. The election proclamation is pub lished on the first page to to-day's pa per. This document doesn't say that is tho moral duty of every elector to go up to the polls on the" 7th day of November, and cast his voto for Hayes and Wheeler ; bufthen, of course, that is understood. There is no lack of weather-prophets who predict a long spell of Indian Summer before winter sets in, and we devoutly hope that their predictions may prove true. In case they do, the Centeunial wiil be a perfect jam until it closes. , 'Through the efforts of A. B. Kel ly, Esq., a library has been secured for the Presbyterian Sabbath School.
