On account of tho meeting of the fiynncl, nt Mercer the latter part of this week, on which Rev. Elliot is obliged to atteml, there will ho no services at the Presbyterian Church next Sunday. Sohhath School as usual, at 3 o'clock V. M. Those parties who have contracted to bring iu potatoes for us, are remind d that we are almost out, and are ready to receive them at once. Rev. Allen preached hia first ser mon on his second year to a good-sized congregation on Sunday evening last. Hereafter ha will preach hero morning and evening, every other Sunday. The School Board has procured a full set of Guy ot's wall maps for the use of tho upper school room. They are reliable, and will doubtless be of great use In teuchiug tho yung idea geography. A legal gentleman, Mr. Bakor, from Providence, R. I., spent about a week in town, starting for homo yes terday. He was hero on business, but found time to make himself agreeable to several social acquaintances. For a few days past, morning aud evening, pigeons have been flying here abouts. Not many have been taken, but if they get much bolder and mora numerous thev cau depoud upon losing several of their number during the fall. Some of our sportsmen who havo .been out six or eight miles from town, report rulled grouse, or pheasants, as they are called, quito numerous in l"U-ee. Just about heio they aro noC very plenty, nnd but low have been LaggoiL This U about the time of year that stoves hare ta bo put up, and it is just jis well to tatwl four euergies to the fitting togeuW ol tho stove-pipe as to .rack your hi ai Irving to find expic :tivos wherewith to express your disgust ,aud disapprobation, m civilized life.

Forest County Oil News. We have no news, or next to none, n tlits direction this week. Wo con fidently loohed for si communication u regard to tho Cooksbnrg well, but iavo received none. The Palmer well, at Bear Creek, is not yet started. The led Hot well is not vet down. The Woods Heirs' well has suffered a delay since our last issue, by breaking their nugur-stem and having to senditaway to bo repaired. The wells at Balltowu aro still drilling. The Copidand well, on the Kepler farm, in Harmony town ship, is prodncing about teu barrels per day, if wo are correctly informed. The McLaughlin well is pumping, but what it is producing, no man appears to know. We have heard it estimated at from 8 to 40 barrels. Mr. H. II. May has taken a lease on the Kepler farm, and the limbers are being taken out for the i ig. Operations will com mence as rapidly as possible. The Cornwell well, on Dutch Hill, is lo cated on Mr. Bonner's land, adjoining Lomire's, instead of on Lorn ire's place, as stated last week. The machinery for this well went through town yes terday, nnd the work will doubtless be pushed through rapidly. Mr. Jas. II. Foiies, who formerly kept the drug store at this place, met with a sad accident on Saturday last, which will render him a cripple for ife. About 4 o'clock p. m. ho was unloading a car of lumber at Imperi al, or Siverlyville, as it is called by the old inhabitants, when the car upon which ho was working was run into by an engine, knocking him off the car in such a manner that his left arm was caught under the moving wheels, aud cut off about two inches below the el bow. Amputation was performed the same evening, by Drs. Davis and Eg bert, and the sufferer is getting along as well as could be expected, having good care. All his friends will be grioved to learn of his misfortune. He is a membor ef the Odd Fellows' Lodge of litis place, ami it ia a comfort to know that ho receives a eubstautial benefit until his recovery. He is stop ping at tho house of his uucle, Walter Siverly. We feel ashamed, as a citizen of Tionesta, to report tho fact that during our absence, lust week, some illegiti mate son of-a-goat thief lugged ofl'thrco large Hubbard squa&hcs from our gar den. Wo 8ufTred tho same loss lait year, with the addition of a couple more squashes ; and it is not long since our crop of grapes whs stolen. Now we aro filled with tho milk of human kindness, an J, moreover, since the oil market docliucd wo havo been rather short of currency, but we stand ready to pay 4.50 for a pop at the thief or thieves with our 6hot gun 50 yards rise, 75 yards boundary ; 3i drams powder, 11 fz. No. G shot; dead jail birds to the field. Let tho illustrious cuss come forth. By reference to tho Borough Or dinance published to-day, it will be seen that our borough fathers do not proposo to stand idly by and allow themselves and their constituents to be sent to Paradise by means of nitro glycerine, dualin, djnamite, gun-cot ton, phosphorus, or other explosive or other dangerous compounds, as long as thev aro able to raise u voice or pass an ordinance. Long live our bor ough fathers! May their eyesight uevcr falter, their ears never grow dul nor their hands palsy until there are no more suspicious vehicles to spy out, no ro ro nitro-glycetino explosions to hear, nnd uo more ordinances to or dain. Our woods aro now radiant in their most beautiful colors. In the fall, when the life-blood of the leaves is poured forth like tho death-song of the swan, and iu the spring, when they come forth garlauding with beau ty the graves of their predecessors, our scenery is as euchantiog as that of the Alps. Of course, when a person tramps all day over these everlastiug hills after game which ho doesu't get, he ainnot properly appreciate the beauty of the scenery about him, but it is t(ere, nevertheless. Randall captured the Speaker fjiip of tho House without any trouble, gat ting 107 votes out of 140 in the iJJleKkicratic caucus. Little. Sunset Cox was withdrawn before the first ballot W,a tiro very much afraid that he wil iieier "get there." A rumor was prevaleut last Sun dav tlut Samuel Varner had beeu cap tur.cd and was in jail at Uiookville, ,but .we could trace it to no reliable uqrqo ry;vtaUy it U a mistake. Borough Council Meeting. Wo are under obligations to S. I). Irwin, Vji., tho Clerk of the Borough Council, for the following minutes of a meeting of that body held on Saturday evening last, Oct. 13 : Council met at oflico of D. S. Knox, Esq., pursuant to call of Burgess. Present Burgess, Councilmen Selley, Knox, Kelly, Randall and Richards. Minutes of meeting of July 12th, read and approved. Tho ordinance on the transportation of nitro glycerine and other dangerous compounds through the borough, was read, and an ordinance passed prohib- ting parties from carrying the same through the borough, all the members of tho Council voting affirmatively. It was approved by the Burgess. It was then resolved that the prop erty-owners of tho borough repair side walks in front of their respective lots forthwith, and keep the same in good order. Also that the Street Commis sioners repair all crossings now iu bad ouditinn. Hesolvcd, That a side-walk four feet wide be built from tho corner of Wal nut and Water streets to II. O. Davis' ot ;also that the street commissioner of the North Ward build a crossing over Water stroet to the north side of the bridge from the said walk. Resolved, That ten days notice be giv en property-owners to build said walk, stating that if not so built within the time stated in the ordinance in such case made and provided that the same will bo built by the borough at their cxpeuso, under the penalties of said ordinance. Bill of H. W. Roberts (use of S. J. Setley) for repairing side-walks, 75 cts., presented and allowed. Also bill of D. S. Knox for lumber for side-walks $1, allowed. Resolved, That the ordinance rela tive to Nitro-Glycerine bo published in both newspapers of the borough. On motion adjourned to meet at the call of Burgess. Mr. Thara Snvago, who had been suffering for some weeks past with par alysis and asthma, died last evening at 8 o'ebek, at the hotiso of James Swailes. Mr. Savage has been for many years past a resident of Tionesta and although for the last ten years or more he has been in ill health, yet he was always cheerful, always trying his beat to make a respectable living for himself. As far as we knew, he leaves the world with few enemies, and waB satisfied to go hence and cud his eurth- ly sufferings. May he rest iu peace. A poor tax of three mills has beeu levied for the borough, and has been, or soon will be, placed in the bauds of Kopman tho Irresistable. The wail o the poor tax-payers is already heard iu the- laud. In this connection, it is occasionally Btatod that the valuation of the borough is higher in proportion than that of the townships. If this statemont is correct this discrimina tion is unjust to the tax-payers of tho borough, aud should be remedied at once by the proper authorities the County Commissioners. What won't people complain of? Philadelphia complains of having too much Bilver I We hope to see the day here when silver will be so plenty that every man will have to procure a strong box to hold it ' but when that glorious day arrives, if we ever heai any ono complain of having too much silver, we ffill recommend that ho be shot to death with five-cent nickles. Geo. W. Bovard it about to build a large granary on the lot south of his storo building, which he recently pur chased from the M. E. Church. We believe the dimensions are to be 16 feet in heighth, 24 feet in length, and 16 feet in width, and is to be finished off and painted in goodshapo. Messrs Knox & Sawyer have the job.
