It will he aeeti that our county is steadily getting upou her feet, and i.i a few year! more wo may hop te be entirely out of debt The burnt district at Edenburj; has already been covered with new buildings, and water works are bein constructed with which to fight the next fire, which may bo expected almost any time. Last Wednesday morning the up freight, which pastes here about 5 o'clock a. re., met with an accident near Cubhain, and five cars were bad ly wrecked. We had no mails on that day until about 7 o'clock p. ra. A daughter of Aqnila Mong died ef diphtheria en Friday morn iog'lust, and was buried on Sunday looming. Mr. Mong lives two miles fip the river from this place. There re aew no ec ef thif dread mala dy in- town. t Trotting matches on the ice are eery much in vogue in those sec tions where there are cenveoient bod its ef water. No real fist ftock U Awned here, which will account for (he ice being used for skating and filling ico houses. -The party at the Lawrence House en Thursday evening last while nol very largely attended, is said to have len an enjoyable aflsir. Should the leighing hold Mr, McCray propesea to cive a grand varly on the evening of the 2'2d iuet, iu commemoration of Waihiiii'lcn'-i liirlhdav. The river is clear of ice below Kmlenton. There hns been no signs of a break-up i:i tho river here as yet. Greundbog day was A failure in this section, and consequently we sup poie our winter will have to give up the ghost.

Mr. May'a health is rather bet ter than it haa been for some time past, if no change for the wsS. takes place ite will prouauiy recover. " A voluminous correspondeuce on religious subject! haa beeo priuted for seme days past in the Derrick. Quite a number of well-written letter! have been published.

Conse quently he may not be at home for none time vet. A narrow gauge road from Fox- burjj to Turkey City is now consider ed a sure thing by the citizens of Fox- burg and St. Petersburg. These little roads seem to pay larger dividends according to the capital invested than any oilier roadu in the country. Since our lat insue Mrs. Henage and Mrs. 1 1 i ii to n aro reported better. Tho condition of Mrs. Hood in about (he name. Miss El I a Davis ia a little belter. I). V. Clark'a youngest child is reported sick, but we believe is not dangerously ill. .lohn F. Brown, Associate editor f the Clarien Drmorrni haa fallen frein- grace and gone into the insut ance business. We wonder he delay ed so lng getting into his niche. Such a i keck as his about a printing office was a pure waste ef tho raw material. St. Valentine's Day is coming on apace, and will be here on the 14th inst. This will be a good c'lance to take out that little tpite you have npain.st anybody and 'everybody, by sending them a caricature which will either insult or annuo tho re ipictit. Mind that the spring elections occur on the 20th. It is about time for the politicians to make up slates to bo smashwd by the peoplo on that day. Thus far we haven't seen a man who secma ambitious for au ofiico at this, election. Hut jut look out for next fall's election. Huuter'i well has been pumped ao' unsteadily since it wai torpedoed on account of the difficulty of keep ing up steam, that it would tako professor of mat hematic! to tell how much oil per day the well is produc ing'.. - The County Commissioners are now visitinz each township in the Coanty for the purpose of holding ap peal from tho triennial assessment limes and places are advertised in this paper.

It will bo well for owners of property to make preparations for'meuding their ways on short notice from the new council to be elected on tho 20th iust. A man named Jidui H. Wyatt, licket agent ef the Parker A Karne City It. K. at Parker's, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver in that city on Monday morniug last. It was thought that he was insaue nt the time the deed was committed. J. N. TietswortU ia itill hobbling around on crutches, from the effects ofthofallhe got from Judgo Dale's houe some weeks ago. His foot is badly swollen and it ia his opinion thit gome of the bones of the heel are either injured or out of idace. His injury was considered a slight one at fi.-st. - Kx-Gov. Wells has been accused of trying to sell out the voto of Lou- isiaua to tho Democracy for $1,000 000,000. Ha testified in regard to the matter before the congressional com mittee yesterday, and donin the whole business, and his side of the story U "ciK'i':llv believed. S. A. Varner is laid up with a bad leg, tho effects of a aevere wound roceived in the late war. It catues him considerable trouble at times.

Waltere' pocket-boot ie aiuwng the missing. Na clue has been found af to who U the thief, or if there has Mr. Walter! keeps '.it religiously to hinieclf. We khouldn't wondr if the thief waa apprehended in time, and if he is he can expect no mercy at the hands of a jury in possesion of the facts. If there are no, more afu"n roenta Court will nref t on Mislay next to review the testimony and give decision in the contested election case. It is to be hoped that the, end of thii tedious contest is almost reach ed. Scarcely a citizen iu the. county but has beon and is more or less inter ested, and the sooner the case is de eided the better for all concerned. Chris. Johnson ia at work fixing up a rigging by means of which the Hunter well will be pumped 'by. the mill raachiuery, which ha! water for iU.niolivo power. The connection is made bv sucker rods, and t-hns. is coufident that it will werk liko charm. There are quito a number email wella in the oil region which are lumped by water power, which is great saving of fuel and machinery. One thing looks very favorable for our side of the house, and that is that tho. N. Y. &ui is down on the Electoral Bill, and its provisions, and claims now that the bill is contrary to the Constitution, dangerous and in cendiary. Now if this were the case, and there was no doubt of Tilden be ing elected by this moans, tho Sun would cease to fchino ere it would open its mouth against it. Au altercation took place in a hotel in Bradford a few evenings, ago in which the conduct of tho bar-tender is severely censured. A lumberman walked up and slapped the bar-tender in the face, and the bar-tender m;ide that a pretext for knocking tho lum berman down and putting a tolerable sized "head" on him. These belliger ent bar teuden should be sharply look ed after. The officers to bo chosen at the election on the 20th inst., according to notice posted up, for Tionesta boto. are as follows: 1 person for Burgess, 0 persons for Council, 2 persons for School Directors, 1 person for Judge of Election, 2 persons for Inspectors of Election, 2 persons for Overseers of the Poor, 2 persons for Boro. Auditors. Amidst all this excitement iu re gard to the electoral Court our news gatherers seem to have entirely lost sight of the great nnd good Wm. Tweed. Where is the old patriach anyway? Has ho again eluded tho vigikucc of Sherift' Conner, aud is he again oil' on a trip? And, hy-the-by, w'lere is Jim. Bennett now ? It is not well to get so interested in national affairs that all our greateit individu als ijiust needs be forgotten. 'Reports from the West declare tU.t the wheat rrop is short and poor, and we suppose wo may look tor a itill further advance iu flour. With potatoes at $1.00 per bushel and Hour at 17.00 and $8.25 per barrel it is pretty tough for a man of a family to live high-with wages at 1 per day, and should the prices of these necess aries of life till advance tho laborer will have a hard ti.xc to mako ends meet. Monmouth Co., New Jersey, is be ing dug over in search of Capt. Kidd'i buried treasure. Thii reminds uitbat it ii about tins fur some of our citi zens te renew the search after that sil ver mine which tradition tells us exists somewhere within the boundaries of Forest County. A good veiu of silver would nt lean vary the excitement, and wuke a teu-barrel oil well seem very small potatoes. The secret of the whereabouts of the mino is supposed still to be known by the descendauts of the CornplaBter tribe, bet if they know it they don't divulge worth a cent.

Gipson decoyed two very nice pike to the surface of the ice re cently, which he secured with a epear The largee t weighed ten pounds. Messrs. Arner and Gilfillan have laid in a good supply of ice. The oualitv is uot so pood, owing to the a 0 - ' quanity of snow frozen with it. It has been considered uussfe to raft on the ice as formerly, consequent ly a break-up is looked forward to with interest by the contractors. Mr. O.
