Agnew has our thanks for a number of pamphlets and docu ments, sent during the past week. Alex., second son of Judge J. O. Dale, started last week for Akron, 0., where he will, become a student in Buchtel College. From the Press we learn that Mr. F. E. Allison, who has been doing the Black Hills, has arrived safely at his home in Hickory. Welcome home. Rev. Allen has taken up his resi dence at Stewart's Run, but that does not prevent his paying strict attention to the religious wants of his Tionesta charge. . The river closed above the bridge on Monday night. A few days of freezing weather would probably make a good ice bridge, to the injury of the toll bridge.

Tho County Auditors met on Monday last, and adjourned until next Monday, whsn the Annual Settlement will he made. This docunent will be published next month. Prof. Monday, teacher of vocal and instrumental music puts his card before the public in to-day'a issue. He is a very thorough man id his profes sion, and deserves encouragement. This being the Week" of Prayer services are being held in the two churches on alternate evenings. This evening the services will be held in the Presbyterian Church, and Rev. Klliot will deliver a sermon. - Capt. Knox has taken a job of putting in tquare timber, and also putting in and pawing logs, for May & Kelly, at Otdtown. Win.

Winter commenced last week, and we had two or three days of cold weather, and a fall of about eight iuches of snow. The roads are so rough, however, that the sleighing is not good. To day the weather is more moderate, and fears are entertained that what snow we havo will go off. Everybody agrees in the statement that "this is a queer winter." A week ago we received a letter from Mr. Daniel Harrington, who is perambulating the country from Eden burg to Bradford and intermediate points As the "news" contained in said letter is now "old," we do not re produce it. We believe Mr. II. pro poses to invest in some oil territory about Bradford, and if he does, we hope ho will get some good wells. On Monday msrning lust, as Mr. II. W. Roberts was "edging" in Der ickscu & Co.'s stave mill, the third finger of his left haud came in con tact with the saw, and wa3 torn so that one joint will probably be stiffened. Some ugly accidents of this nature are continually taking place in the various stave mills about here, from the effects of which some of our young men have lost lingers, thumbs, and sometimes the whole hand. Wm. Lawrence was sworn in as Treasurer of Forest County on Mon day last, having lurcishcd the required bail, which, on account of two sales during the term, was larger than us ual. We hope Mr. Lawrence may give as good satisfaction as his prede cessor, Mr. Setley, who leaves the of fice with the respect and confidence of all the taxpayers of Forest. Mr. Set ley is staying in the office for a time, initiating Lawrence into the mysteries of the position. Try Kuakel'e Perfumes lor tho haudkeicbief. For sale at Bovard's. School Report. Report of German Hill School for Month ending Jan. 2: Number of pupils enrolled 22. the following were not absent during the month: Amanda Eikenburg, Mary Burhen, Verna Heath, . Minnie Eikenburg, Vina Zuendel, Eddie Heath, Carlos Heath. Clara Heath, Teacher. Mr. G. G. ButterfielJ, after an absence of two or three years to his old home in Westmoreland county, has moved back to Tionesta. Wo are glad to welcome him back, as he is a good citizen and a straight-forward man. Mr. Brush, who has been having a long seige of pneumonia, is yet con fined to the house, but is improving in health. Mr. Qui on is convalescing. Mr. Dai rah has hd an attack of the quinzy, but is now out again. We acknowledge the receipt of "Vick's Illustrated Catalogue and Floral Guide," for 1878. It is some thing which should be in the hands of every one who pays atfy attention to gardening or floriculture. These cat alogues are forwarded twice a year to all customers of Mr. Vick. Address James Vick, Rochester, N. Y. It doesn't take very much to cre ate a panic in town of this size. A dry season will cause a number of wa ter wells to go dry and then there is a water famine. Just now there is a milk famine, nearly all the cows in town having taken a notion to go dry at the same time. Butter famines occur frequently, and egg famines are regular visitations. When our ship roues in, or iu other words, when this becomes the centre of a large produc ing territory, we shall probably not be bothered with these minor annoyauces. Tho attention of our readers is directed to tho new advertisements in this issue : Mr. H. H. Evans, well and favora bly known here, has embarked in the boot and shoe business in Tidioute, and invites the public through our columns to give him a rail when that place. Miller Bros, of Cleveland, advertise their Chemical Puint, which has been sold for upward of a year by Robin son & Bonner of this place, and who will continue to keep it. This paint has given perfect satisfaction herc.and will undoubtedly have a large sale as soon as spring opens. , Solomon Byers advertises a steer which he has taken up, which the owner can have by complying with the law in such cases made and pro vided. Messrs. Kelly & Robinson advertise a sketch of some proposed legislation on tho dog and sheep question. We hope to make enough money on the ad. to pay our dog tax for a few years, after which we suppose we will have to kill the dog. Sheriff Shawkey advertises some valuable real estate for sale on the 28th inst. A rare chance for some body to acquire some oil territory. As our lumbering business is not what it onco wa9, a great many of our young meu are obliged to Beek work elsewhere, and naturally drift into the oil regions. When they come home for a holiday they tell Borne large sto ries', and indeed some which cannot be fully believed without unbounded faith or further confirmation. Hero is a story one of them got off on New Year's day : "They had a mush und milk festival at "Bullion. The yeomanry of sur rounding districts was engaged iu hauling milk to town for a week be fore the festival A four thousand barrel tank was filled with mush, and the manugetneut flattered themselves that the arrangements weie complete, and that such a thing as getting short of mush or milk was one, 'of tho im possibilities. But, such was the rush of the people of the surrounding coun try, and such the popularity of the festival, that the milk was used up en tirely iu the early part of the evening. What was to be done? 'Necessity is tho mother of Invention;' they torpe doed a cow, and sho commenced flow ing milk at the rate of four hundred barrels per day. They attached fcomo hose, and wheu a man wanted milk they inserted the nozzle in his mouth and turned on the stream. When he had enough all he had to do was to throw up his hands aud tho stream was shut off. "But some folks never know when they havo enough, aud some of this class neglecting to throw up their hands, buttons were bursted off and thrown with great violence' in all di rections, many bystanders being dan gerously wounded by being hit with them. A churn full of buttons were picked up the next morning, and enough money was made at tho festi val to lay a pipe line from Bullion to the sea const, and the line is to be con structed at once." He Offers to Shoot. As about four-fifths of the adult population of Forest County is pro ficient, not to ay expert, in the use of fire-arms, we feel justified in publish ing the challenge of Dr. Carver, of California, taken from the Forest and Stream of the 3d inst. The glass balls are about 25 inches in diameter, and are thrown into the air from a trap, by a spring, and shot at while they are in the air. One or more shot will break them. They are used to give practice for wing shooting, and have, to a great extent superfeded the traps from which live pigeons are thrown. The following is the challenge: San FitANCiwo.-Cal., Dec. 12 '77. I will wager from $250 to' $500 that I can beat any- man in the world shoot ing the following eight matches, or any one of them : First, I ca, break more glass balls throwu from a Bogar dus trap, 25 yards rise, than any man in the world; 2-1, I can brer.k 1,000 glass balls quicker with a shot-gun tliau any mrn living; 3d, I can break mote glass balls shooting from a horse's back, tho horse to be on a run, 21 yards from the balk, than any man iu the world can break, 30 yards, and stand on the ground ; 4tl, 1 can break more glass balls with a rifle, the balls to be thrown into the air, than any man iti the world can break with a shot-gun and shoot 30 yards, using a Bogurdus trap ; 5th, I can break 100 glass balls quicker with a Winchester rifle than any man in the world can break with a shot-gun; 6th, I can break two glass balls thrown in the air at the samo time, making a double shot and loading the gun once while the balls are in the air, usiug a Win chester rifle; 7th, I can make more fancy 6hots with a rifl than any man iu the world; 8th, I will wager $1,000 that I can kill more buffalo in one run, shooting from a horse's back, than any man in the world, and if buffalo are not to be found, will shoot elk,and go on the prairie at any time.
