A daily paper has been started at
Edonburg, by Mr. J. M. GitTord, pub
lisher of the Herald. It is a good

A slight full of fduw occurred

The clerk of the weather at Washing

The wildest kind of wild-catting
is going on at present. Rigs are up

Again.
We notice by tho Republican that
tlicro is loud talk of establishing an
oil exchange in Meadville, It has
generally been considered that Mead
villa was "off the belt," but if the sol
id men of that place put their bauds
to tho work they will undoubtedly
make a success of it.
The departure of fifty-four fami

were of the most affecting character.
Prof. G. Adlphus Weber, whom

Several sets of the New Ameri
can Cyclopaedia were delivered in
town yriaterday by the agency of Mr.
Jos. Clary. This is a work which eve
ry one who is able to buy should pos
sess. The extension of the Einlenton &
Shippenvillo railroad to Clarion seems
to be a fixed fact. The building of the
road from Edenburg to Clarion, in
cluding a bridge across the Clarion
river, has been let, and the company
expects to have the road completed by
the 10th of September. This will be
a good thing for Clarion.
The war in the East, it seems has
actually begun. An engagement is
reported to have taken place between
some of the forces of Russia and Tur
key on Thursday last, in which the
Russ'aus were driven back with a loss
of about 800 men. From the tone of
eastern dispatches there is every rea
son to believe that this war must in
evitably draw other powers into the
cocflict. If so we may expect a long
and bloody struggle.
Black Hills emigration contin
ues brisk. The arrivals at Sioux City

Mr. D. E, Davenport, of New York,
has contracted to build 75 miles of the

sections will soon be let to - contract
ors, insuring the building of thfe road
150 miles west of Ponca before next
winter, and to the Black Hills within
eighteen months.
Judge Jenks with his usual promp
titude has looked Bharply after the
constable's returns at this term of
court. One result of his previous care
iu this matter is the return of no less
than eighteen peisous from Elk City
alone, fir violations of the liquor law.
In fact all the townships have made
lair returns, which adds materially to
the list of Commonwealth cases. A
most excellent judge. May he con
tinue the good work of justice so well
begun. Clarion Republican.
By the Greeley (Col.) Tribune, of
tho 25th ult., we notice that Mr. Chus.
L. Hanna, for several years a resident
of this county, has been appointed
sheep inspector for Weld County, that
State. We also- notice that Charley
has been elected Vice President of
the Weld County Wool Growers" As
sociation. From this it would op
pear that Charles is growing up with
the country, end giving LU undivided
attention to sheep.
"The Poor Old Tramp," is the

Alex. Wilson, of tho boat "Ven

A silly young lady of Titusville

Mr. F.'s father whom he went to see,

and came east with him as far as In

Three tramps called at our office
on Friday last "to get some exchages
to read." They were hard-looking
customers, but they believe, in the old
saying that "he who runs may read."
There is an ordinance in force here in
regard to tramps, but we believe it
wasn't enforced lat Friday.
The machiuery for Derickson &
Co's new stave mill, at Tylersburg
passed through town on Friday last.
It is the purpose of this firm to-put up
a good mill, pay good prices for bolts,
make good staves and get good prices
for them. They have contracted for
a large amount of boll's in that viciui-
On Wednesday last Judge Jenks
entenced a man to a certain term iu
the Clarion jail. When the man
heard the sentence, be seemed to think
it was funny, and so burst out L. igli
ing. That laugh cost hiia ten days
additional in jail. It is not wise to
provoke the Court when it has your
liberty or freedom in its-hands.
Mr. J. T. Dale arrived home
from Pittsburg on Friday last, aud
informs us'that when be came up he
observed the steamer Iron City, stuck
on Pithole Riffle. We me not in
formed whether she has yet been got
off. Should the boat be obliged to
wait for high water it will prove a
dear trip to tho owners.
At Knox's mill, ou Wednesday
last, Prit. Agnew got one of his hands
too near the saw and got the flesh torn
somewhat. No bones injured, wo be
lieve, but he is carrying that hand
very carefully iu a sling and "will
probably not be ready to take his usu
al place in the mill for a few weeks
to come.
rAn Allegheny merchant has put
up a sign : "In God wc trust ; all oth
ers cash." This is a safe way of do
ing business, but when laborers get
only about a dollar a day, and are
obliged to pay $12 per barrel for flour,
and $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel for po
tatoes, it is going to be hard for him
to raako ends meet, if the merchants
trust only their maker.
There appears to be a gang of
highwaymen in tho neighboihood of
Elk City. We hear of one Mr. Long,
a resident of that place, who, while
going from that place ti the Stone
Church, one evening recently, was at
tacked by three men, fctruek on the
bead with a bludgeon, his skull fra3
tured, and his pocket-book, containing
upward of thirty dollars, taken. Oue
Cumn..ng9 was also attacked and rob

Finding of tha Body of P. P.'.DIin.
Ci.fvklanp, April 29.
On Friday last a party of sports
men of this city, while gunning along
the lake shore at Euclid village, ten
miles cast of here, found a dead body
of a man on the beucb. The had
was burned on the back, one leg brok
en and the other had a large flesh
wound. The bead was perfect and
covered with black hair and the face
with whiskers. Thpro was no cloth
ing on the body. There was no one
bad any idea who the body was. They
dug a grave near by and buried it.
Alter tho burial a description of 'the
body was told at the railroad station,
it was at once recognized as 1. r.
Bliss, of Chicago, who was lost on Fri
day night, December 29, at Ashtabu
la, in the great railroad accident. The
theory is that the body was frozen to
a cake of ice and can ied up the lake
trt the point where it was found. Eu
clid is fifty miles west of Ashtabula.
The body will be taken up to-morrow
and further investigation made, prob
ably. Latkk.
Cleveland, April 30.
Henry W. Stager, of tho Lake
Shore Railroad, and D. W. Whittle
went down to Euclid this afternoon on
a special engine and had the body
thought to be the remains of P. P.
Bliss disinterred. The body is not
that of Mr. Bliss. The corpse is that
of a man about five feet eight inches
high, thick set and in appearance a
German. Both Mr. Stager and Mr.
Whittle are "confident from personal
experience at Ashtabula in search for
bodies that it is extremely improba
ble if not impossible that any of the
bodies from the wreck could have
passed under the ice and down, the
creek into the lake, and Unite in send
ing this message to assure friends of
those lost at Ashtabula that in their
judgment no more bodies will ever
be found.

A paper containing full information-
will ho sent upon application to CHRLES
K. LAND1S, Vineland. N. J., free of cost.
Tho following is an extract from a do
scription of Vineland, published in tho
New York Tribune, by tho well-known
Agriculturist, Solon Robinson :
All tho farmers were of the "well to do"
sort, and some of them, who havo turned
their attention to fruits and market gard
ening, have gj-own riuli. Tho soil is loam,
varying from sandy to clavey, and surfaen
gently undulating, Intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows in
which deposts of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fortilizo tho whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted of its
natural fertility.
It is certainly one of tho most extensivo
fertilo tracts, in nn almost level position,
and suitable condition for pleasant fann
ing, that wo know of this side of tho West-:
ern prairies. Wo found some of the old
est farms apparently just as profitably
productive as when lirst cleared of forest
fifty or a hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover tho
cause of this continued fertility. Tho
whole country is a marine deposit, and all
through the noil v o found evidences of
calcareous substances, generally in tho
form of indurated calcareous marl, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
of tho tertiary formation ; and this marly
substance is scattered all through tho soii,
in a very comminuted foriv, and in tho
exact condition most easily ussimmilatod
by such plants as the farm r desires to
cultivate.
