NO PAPER NEXT WEEK.
Our custooiary holiday lias been do-
layed oue week, but as it ia of import
ance to ua that it should. Dot be lost
light of, we shall issao no paper next
week. The office will be opeo for
busiueea during our vacation.
Rev. Elliot will preach in the
Presbyterian Church, on Sunday next
morning and evening. Sabbath School
at 3 o'clock P. M.
Rev. Allen will move toBtewart'a
Run in a couple of weeks, there to
make his abode until Conference aenda
hint somewhere else.
The new prospectus of the Oil
City Daily Derrick, ia given to our
readers to-day. It ia the best paper
published, for oil news. .
. We received a cony of a paper
oubliehed at Elk City, Jast week, call
ed tho Enterprise. It ia email, but
seems well patronized.
Those of our readers who indulge
in dancing, can satisfy their desires in
thai direction by 'attending the party
at the Lawrence House next Tuesday,
New Year's evening.
Mr. McKim and lady, of Oil
City .are visiting t-day at Lsq. Tate s.
Mr. McK. favored us with a call this
morning, and we find him an intelligent
and agreeable gentleman.
Mr. Geo. Bluerock, of Minister,
left a beet weighing 9t lbs. at our of
fice on Wednesday last. He raised a
good crop of these vegetables, and some
larger than the specimen left with us.
Our borough schools are closed
for a short vacation. They will start
up fcgaiu next Monday. Mr. Dunn is
visiting his home in Crawford. Miss
Mays, we believe, is in town.
"The boys" (and their girls) had
a danre ou Monday night at Par
tridge's Hall. , Wo understand that
all who were present enjoyed them
selves to their utmost capacity.
'This is "Court Week," but the
Associates, in the absence of the Presi
dent Judge," held only a short argu
ment Beseiou, , The Commissioners
were in session, and did considerable
business.
" The pigeons are still in our neigh
borhood, and notwithstanding tbo vast
quantities which have been killed they
do not perceptibly diminish in. num
ber. They still get a few salutes every
time they go over our place.
Whether Turkey In Europe is
entirely vanquished, is yet an open
question, but Turkey in America was
so badly scooped yesterday, that there
is not enough loft for mediation "by
the powers."
Th Dutch Hill well is down
about a thousand feet, without getting
any encouragement to speak of. Mr.
Coruwell has decided to put it down
1200 feot, aod the drill ia pounding
away.
The election contest in Crawford
county, between Church and Hender
son has drawn Judgs Wetmore into
its toils as pne of the arbitrators. Mr.
Ilendereon charges that out of 5,812
votes recoived by Church, 1.493 were
illegal. It will be sorue time before
the case is settled.
Attention is called to the new ad
vertisement of William Read & Sona,
of Boaton, who are amoag the mo6t re
liable gun firma in the U. S., and who
make a specialty of the "Scott" gun,
the favorite piece of many of America'a
best sportsmen.
Too late for last week's paper we
received from the pastor t the M. E.
Church at Hickory, a communication
in regard to a revival in progress
there, conducted by Rev. H. Payne.
Much interest was being manifested,
and as the pastor expresses it, "Much
good is being done. "
Jno. R. Stroup killed a bear, up
near Balltown last week, and a roan
named Grove killed one of the cubs.
We are also informed that Davy in
lands recently killed a full-grown bear
in tho same neighborhood. And this
is not a very good season for bears,
either.
The proceedings of the Teachers
Institute, which we publish in this is
sue, will be found dry reading, by
those not immediately interested. We
have several orders for papen contain
ing them, but had we known that the
Preta was publiahiugthem, would have
filled our orders with that paper, and
filled ujp our space with other matter ;
but we had them almost up before the
les was out, and really coulda t at
ford to lose tho work.
The Teachers' Institute was a suc
cess in every particular. In addition
to the lectures, essays &c, chronicled
in last issue, Supt. Thompson, whose
name will be found once sr twice in
the "proceedings," lectured on Wednes
day evening ou "Schoola and Fami
lies." On Thursday even!ng Mr. T.
D. Dunn read an instructive essay on
"Educational Barriers." V. E. Lathy
Esq., delivered an interesting lecture
on "The Tower of Letters," and M.
W. Tate, Esq., read a polished essay
on "The Power of Education." On
Friday evening Mr. Kennedy King,
of Erie entertained the audience with
some choice readings and declama
tions, after which a gold-headed cane
was presented by Mr. A. C. Porter on
behalf of the teachers of Forest coun
tv f Prof. II. 8. Brockway. This
-
wound up the exercises, and every
body departed with their minds full
of wisdom and their hearts filled with
joy.
-Christmas was duly observed in
Tionesta. Numerous turkeys, chick
ens, pigeons, &c. were cooked, devour
ed bnd enjoyed. For the time being,
animosities of all kinds seemed to be
buried under a veil of benevolence and
good feeling, and we venture to say
that everybody leels better for the way
in which they spent Christmas. The
juveniles were all iu their glory, and
evidently wished that Christmas came
more than ouce a year.
Mr. W. S. Baldwin, Supt. of the
Woods Heirs' Farm, who ia at present
stopping in Oil City, was iu town last
week, and informed us that two wells
would be put down next spring on
said tract. Talking with one of the
drillers of the well put down there last
fall, he expressed his belief that oil
would be found somewhere on the
tract.
Chas. Taylor, Esq., an old and
well-known lawyer of Fanklin, has
been appointed President Judge of
Venango County, in place of Judge
Tiunkey, resigned. There were nu
merous applicants for the positioned
tho appointment hung fire a good
while. The people will elect a Judge
for the balance of the unexpired term
next fall. i '
New crossings have been pet in
at several placca in town, making a
vast improvement in that line. We
notice oue at the river bridge, one in
front of the Presbyterian Church, one
across Elm St. at the blacksmith shop,
one across May St., below the Court
TTouw. and one across Helen St. at
Cobb's. All are put down in a sub
stantial manner.
We have received Vol. 1-No. 1,
of Vkk's Illustrated Monthly Magatine,
for January, 1878. I.t ia devoted to
Horticulture, Floriculture, and useful
knowledge to farmers, gardeners and
others. It is altogether such a peri
odical as should cminate from such a
source, being the best of its class. The
subscription price is $1.25 per year.
Address James Vick, Rochester, N. Y.
Each week we put a label on the
paper of every subscriber, which, if
properly studied will give each one a
statement of how hia subscription ac
count stands at this ' office Fer in
stance if a label reads "John Take
abite 175," it shows that John is back
with hia subscription from January
1st, 1875 to the present time, and that
it is time he was squaring up.
Mr. J. I. Range informs us that
the case of small-pox which has been
accredited to Stewart's Run, is in fact
on Pitholo Ridge, and that no one has
as yet suffer red from his indiscretion.
The case was one of varioloid instead
of small-pox.
