We publish tho oflicial vote of Forest County this week, hardly as a f. f i ufc , .uabla (hose .Uh to file tMfl for future rof.M-ence to do so. Our vote is con- siderably lighter than usual, and our majorities on the State Ticket smaller. We have nothing to complain of, so far us our County Ticket is concerned, From Jas.

We hear him very highly spoken of, aud huve no doubt but bis old friends and neigh bors will bo grieved to hear of his death. The following, which will be of interest to several of our readers, is a special telegram from ashington to the Pittsburgh Commercial- Gazette, and anneara in last Saturday's naoer: Washington. Nov. 16. 1877. The Government will perfect to tho purchaser the title to Government lands in Venango and Forest counties, Pennsylvania, on which forty four deeds were lost in transit from Mead ville to Washington by mail. These lands sold by the Government for about $12,000, are reported hero as worth ten times that sum now, owing to the oil discoveries. jiii). ivt.ri iu.iUAN hi my loner 01 week ago I said we had procured board in a German family, and in a feel perfectly conteutcd in the place of our choice in lact, 1 don t think we could have procured a better place in which to make our temporary home. The family, although German, speak the English language fluently, as is the case with educated Germans in Leip zig. The members of the household never address us in any thing but German, except when it is absolutely necessary, to make an idea known iu English, consequently we are compel! ed, I might say, to become acquainted the language of the country Every day I take a private lesson in German from a lady teacher of will only take two or three private les- sons a week. Charley is pursuing the same course. We are picking up words and phrases very fast and quite soon expect to express ourselves cor- . v . . 1 rectly aud readily, Leipzig is a place of about 150,000 inhabitants, and is mostly noted for its University and Musical Conservatory um, both of which are equal to any institutions of similar character on the continent I have heard it stated that there are about three thousand students here du- ring the school year; and I do not doubt it, for at any hour of the day hundreds of students, noticiceable by the caps they wear, can be seen on the ' streets. The buildings in the city are net conspicuous for their beauty, yet there a an appearance anout mem mat at once suggests that they have been vun mi I come impaired by years. The streets mm I . , .norai tu:n(T .,! . elegantly kept, being paved in the same manner as American cities, There are two theatres in the city, but as I have not as yet attended them, I cannot say anything about them. One thing I know, that when I do at tend a theatre in Leipzig I will hear I and see no common play, for a German audience is so critical that none but excellent productions, and those ren dcred in the best manner, are ever brought before them. There is a very fine art gallery in the eitv to which Charlev and I went aud spent a very pleasant afternoon, Of course it don't compare with the .. . , , w ...t galleries of Dresden and Munich, for tbnao ara cities fnmr.na fnr their art. w..Vww - v A crrent manv Americananend the! o J i - I winter here, and have an American place of worship, which is well attend- j ed every Sunday.

I We have not made any outside ac- quaintances as yet, and probably shall not until we become better acquainted with the lauguage. We could, if we desired, make the acquaintance of a few Americans, but our teacher don't think it advisable, for we would talk too much English with them, which would be a detriment to the object ot our sojourn here Yours Truly, Ben W.

She was the second daughter of Rev. Ilez- ekiah and Margaret (White) May. She married John Lamb in the year 1852. whom she survived fourteen years. Residing in Allegheny until the time of her death, she endeared herself I to a large circle of friends and ac quaintances as she had at her old Tio nesta home. Hospitable, uniform in kindness, winning iu manner, patient in spirit, in poiutof fact, was "beloved by all who knew her." Such lives as hers are subjects of happy contempla tion. Many hearts will lament her l0S3. She combined in an eminent degree the virtues of her father and her moth er. Her kind devoted attention to her mother throughout a course of years is a shining mark in her memory. A sufferer herself for some time previous to her death, ho received (let it be written) under a kind Providence, a portion of that kind treatment from ber friends in return that she had be stowed on an afflicted mother. A life like hers, iu short, adorns hu manity. It is scarcely necessary to add she died a calm, peaceful and hap py death. Let no more be written than to say the memory of her many friends is the beBt record of her useful life. S.
