The brokers, operators and deal era in oil, had ft grand clam bake st Chautauqua Lake on Fridaj Inst. It U said to have been a very enjoyable occasion. And still the Russians seem to b .getting the worst of it. On Thursday last a big battle was fought in which the Turks were ugaiu victorious. Tur kish stock is advancing. Mr. 1 Titus Itidgway, an old kii respected citizen of Franklin, with whom all our old residents were ac quainted, died last week; aged sixty-! two years. j Game being scarce, several ? our young genlemen of leisure have given their attention of late to the gather ing of blackberries and. whortleber ries. The New York Herald thinks it would he fortunate for the Pennsyl vania miners if tho bad and disreputa ble element among them could be starved out or killed ott'iu some way. Grant is going over Luropesomo tvVst after the fashion that Dora Pedro vent avar this country, and is evident ly scelug about as much. Ho is fav orably received everywhere. Whooping-cough U en the ram page in our place, and the little chaps nrt coughing and whooping at a gieat fate. Jt is a very anuoying complaint, tut everybody must take a twist at it. Our Western Correspondent in .bis latt letter mentioned the fact that v laborers were wanted very badly iu Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, and good wages were paid. We also hear that there is a great demand for labor iu the South, and yet the unemployed would prefer to tay iu this country r.tul starve thaa to go where they can noil; a-t.ood wactt. The press cast and west are notic ing Ihe indications of returning busi ness activity. In tbo commercial houses nt the Fast large purchases are being mndo ; nt the West preparations are being made to send to the sen board the largest grain yield eTer had. Accept the views of Mr. Jennings, London correspondent of tho New York World, nil departments of Amer ican industry are destined to share in tho coming prosperity. He says: "The longer the war lasts tho more certain ly must the United States become the meat emnorium of the world, ut C3 1 course, such an advantage is merely temporary, and it would not do to de pend tow much upon it. Still ft tern pory advantago is not to be despised in hard times. Grain, iron, even coal, will yet be required iu vast quantities. Where is it to come from Europe? Irou wo could supply, but as for grain and coal, we have not enough to "go round" fit home. Everybody sees all that, and if it had hot been for the recent strikes and riots American rail road stocks and bouds would have had a great rise in the markets here." It is evident that we have reached the limit of our busiuess depression, if wo are ready to take manly advantago of the opportunities heibie us. In place of strikes and controversies, let capi tal and labor harmonize, and prosper ity will come to both. Commercial- Gazelle. Tho Democracy of Pennsylvania held their State Convention at liar risburg on Wednesday last. They nbminated Judge Truukey of Venan go County tor Supreme Judge, Col. J. C. Noyes, of Clinton for State Treas urer, tiud William P. Schell, of Bed ford for Auditor General. A set of resolutions condemning the course of the Republican party, and lauding the past and bragging the future of tho Democratic parly wore passed. Only one of tho candidates is well known in this section, and that is Judge Trunkey. Tho Judge is a good man, and qualified for tho position, but we will nominate as good a man next WcduesJay who wiil lay him ou the shelf. The re-union of Butterfield's Twins, the 83d Pa. and tho 44th N. Y., took place as announced, at James town, on the 21 nt and 22.1 of A jgust. It was an occasion which all who par ticipated enjoyed fully, and so great was the satisfaction expressed, that it was decided to hold the next re-union of the two regiments together, ut Tit usvilla, Sept. 12, 1878. J. P. Siggins, of Cm. G., formerly of this county, was chosen President of the 83d As sociation, and Frank II. Couse Secre tary. The attendance from this sec tion was slight, but the next re-union will probably see ft majority of the veterans from this county present. The mineral tpring, whi:h is sit uated on the side of the hill about one-fourth of a mile north-east ofAthe watering troug'i, on the Dutch Hill Jvoad, is being visited quite frequently by those who have time, mus:le and energy t.i accomplish the journey. Tho spring is strongly impregnated with iron, and, doubtless would bo very beneficial to tho?e whoso systems need "bracing up." It is a very strong spring, am1 should it turn out to have healing quftlities equal to tho hot springs of Arkansas, we may expect this placo to become a resort for in- terciting invalids in the course of u few years. Don't forget the Chautauqua ex cursion to-morrow. No pains have been spared to make this tho mot satisfactory excursion ever projected in this section. No other has ever bson so cheap ; in no other has the ex cursion ticket included a trip over the entire lake ; no other has ever allow ed twelve homy at the lake ; uo t-ther, in fact, has ever been gotten up' iu which the excursion ticket paid all the necessary expenses of tho trip. Everybody who can raise the necessa ry amount of scrip should go cn this excursion. Wm. Iluddleson, who lives about four miles up the river, while opera ting u cutting-box, one day last week, cut the fore finger of his left band off at the second joint, leaving it bauging only by the skin. It was cobbled up and raficd ou again, aud will doubl ing grow tojid and Bound again, al though it may leave the joint stiff. Col. Thomas is in poor health again. In the I art three years ho has Buffered a good deal from these spells, the naturo of which we do not know. We hope to sie him M-out in a shut time. Lacytown Correspondence. Lacytowx, Aug. 28, 1877. Rr.r fiiucAN : Ei. Henry Norris met with a slight accident few days ago ; a log rolled ou one-of his legs and bruised it quite badly. But foi the timely assistance of some of the men it might have proved serious. Among tho numerous visitors in the past week, wo noticed Mrs. T. D. Col lins and son, and Mr. C. W. Taylor of Pittsburgh. Mrs. Henry Ledebur, presented her husband with a very handsome daugh ter a few days ago. Henry is as hap py as a clam, and should any one hap pen to call on him soon, we believe he would grind a grist free of toll. The Nebraska school closed Wed nesday of last woek. John Metzgar built an addition to his house this summer ; now he has an addition to his family. It is n girl, and as pretty as a picture, and John is happy. Mrs. S. S. Holbrook of Cincinnati, who i well known and highly esteem ed by all her friends in this place, has been dangerously ill for the past fix weeks, but is slowly recovering. Makk.' Dr. S. J. Fisher, Dentist, of Un ion City, is at present ("topping at the Lawrence IIouso, for tho purpose of attending to the wants of those in need of work in his line. He is. a son of Dr. FUher of Warren, and is said to be a good operator. Charges reasona ble and satisfaction guaranteed. It Tho correspondent of the Derrick writes from Edenburg the following account of a parricide near that place on Monday last : "Isaac Sen hart Hess shot his father, Isaac Hess, about one p. m. to-d ly. The old man lived about a mile be yond tho Stone House in the pike. The old man is about sixty ; the young man thirty. The cause wasa little dispute. A rifle was used. The old man is dead." Hero is what the N. 1'. World says about tho platform adopted by the Democracy at their Convention last week : "If platforms in these days ever meant anything, and if candidates elec ted on platforms ever thought, after election, of the platform on which they were elected, the platform yesterday adoptei by the Democracy of Penn sylvania might bo bailed with delight by all friends ofrec trade." The Forest and Stream and liod and Gun, is the publication peculiar ly adapted for all hunters or fisher man. Tho information contained in each number is alone worth the price of a year's subscription $4.00. Iu clubs of three 25 per cent is deducted. Address Forest and Stream Publish ing Co., Ill Fulton St., N. Y. Tho United States is bound to make somethiug out of the present difficulties between Russia and Tur key. The Bridgeport, Conn., Metal lic Cartridge Works have lately ship ped thirty-two car-loads of cartridge to the Turkish Goverment. We doubt not but many a Russian will get the benefit of some of those cartridges. Squirrels are very plenty in Wash ington county, tlm State, if we are to judge from an item to the effect that threo gunners recently shot 101 squir rel8 thcro in one day.. Perhaps it would bo a good idea for Canfield to get up an excursion to take the boys down to Washington county and give them twelve hours on the epot, in which to murder squinels. This is about the time of year when the summer tourists begin to come home. If it hadn't been for the Centennial last year the summer re sorts all over the country would prob ably have been crowded with Tiones tiaus ; but as it is comparatively few of our citizens have troubled the wa teeing places this season. Apples, potatoes, radishes, cu cumbers, cabbage, green com, etc., are brought to town with some regularity, and sold at reasonably figures to those who have the requisite amount of curl-en cy. The Bradford Argus says that the grasshoppers in Eastern Bradford oc cupy a space of about four miles long and two milts wide. These, combined with the terrible hail storm which vis ited that section recently, make things look decidculy plague-like. For Stoves, Stove-Pipe and Stove Castings, go to Robinson it Banner's. 2I-::t. A MOONLIGHT EXCURSION I TO- Mayvillc, Fnlr loln, mid .lauiCKtowii, nnd oilier point ofliitertMt on CnAUTAUCUA LAKE!

The Last, Best, Cheapest, and the Most Enjoyable Excursion of the Season ! It has been decided to run the ex cursion, which we have noticed hereto fore, on Thursday, the 20th inst., leav ing Tiouesttv at 7:30 o'clock in the morning, arriving at Fair Point about 11:30. A picnic will be hail there, at 3:30 the boat will start for the head of the lake. After giving the excursionists two and one-half hour3 at Jamestown, the steamer will statt back to Mayvillo at 8 o'clock, and an opportunity will be given all to danco to the music of McCray's cele brated string band. The excursion train will arrive nt Tioncsta at about 2:30 o'clock in the morning. The faro from all points along the mute will be uniform $2.25, which pays for the whole trip, including tho run to Jamestown and the dancing. 'Ihe train will start from Tionesta.and will stop for excursionists at Hickory, Trunkeyville, Tidioute, Thompson's, and Irvineton. The above is officio, and will be carried out to the letter. Since the announcement last week, the manager, Mr. Canfield, has secured tho services of Rescue Cornet Band, which will accompany tho excursion. This will be the last excursion of the season, and all who think of going to the lake this year should embrace this opportunity which gives them twelve hours at the lake and very low fire. The tickets are good on either of the two largest steamers on tho lake the "Jamestown'" nud 'May ville." DENTISTRY. Dr. S. J. Fisher, Dentist, of Union City, Pa., formerly of Warren, will be at Tionesta, at the Lawrence House, on Sept. 22d, to remain one week during Court week. He will be prepared' to do all work prctainiug to his profession in a thur ough and skillfull manner. Good reference given. 21-8t Joseph Busier, of Cumberland county, Pa., obtained from twenty-six acres of land 2,730 bushels of shelled corn, an averago of 105 bushels to the acre. A heavy crop of clover turned under did the business. It may bo news to most ol n readers that Mr. Sliney has struck five barrel well ou the old Gordon Farm, and is pumping it steadily. The Gordon Farm is situated ou tho west side of tho Allegheny River, about thrse miles above this place. Ihe West Hickory wells ar pumping away, paying expenses, and perhaps more. It is the intention of the proprietors, in time, to put up a large water-whell, on West Hickory creek, with which to ruu the wells, thereby saving fuel, machiuery, &c. We might as well say it now as later: The registry lists aro now iu tho bauds of tho assessors, and it is important that every one should tee to gettiug hiiueclf registered especi ally every Republican. Banks all over tho country have! under consideration tho question of ceasing to pay interest on deposits. This would not indicalo any great scarcity of money. We have heretofore neglected to montion the fact that Hon. W. C. Pluinmer, formerly of the Titusville Courier, has become associated with the Crude Local, published at St. Pet ersburg. He is an editor of exper ience and ability. The Philadelphia llccord, a Dem ocratic organ, says that "the Demo crats have reason to fear that the wretched compound of froth, twaddie aud quotations constituting tho plat form constructed for them by the Con vention may prove a millstone about the necks of their candidates." Our mills are taking a rest, and Billy Blum's blacksmith shop is the only establishment that is nt present making any noise around here. Jam ie.son'8 well is going down into tho bowels f the earth, but the Bound of the bull wheel and pulley are a little too far off to add to the sound of our industry. 1 1 KA DQUAKTICKS pLTULLtCAN Statu ( 'omiiitttk. 1 IIakrisiiuucs, July 12, 1877.
