At their last session, the Couuty Commissioners rc-iippoiuted M. "V. Tate, Esq., as their counsel for the onauing year. King Victor Emanuel, of Italy, is no more, and tho Pope is said to be failing fast.. Prince Humbert has been crowned King of Italy.

Prof. Monday, beside being an excellent teacher of vocal and instru mental music, is an expert tuner and repairer of pianos. Do not bo afraid to employ him he ia all right. The Brookvillo llepullican comes to us this week in an enlarged form, and materially improved in other re spects. We are glad to note this evt deuce of well merited prosperity. -Slush ice is again running this moruin?. but the sun has come out warm and bright, and will soon dis slve tho ice and the hopes of those who are looking for ice bridges. In the year 1877, Warren county had 2 bankrupts ; Crawford 15 ; Brad ford 3 ; Butler 2G ; Elk 1 ; Forest 1 ; Venango 14 ; Erie 24 ; McKean 10 ; Mercer 24. Tho decrease over 187G is considerable. Tho good people of Stewart's Run called upou Rev. Alien and lady in their new home, on Monday evening ust, and left with them a bountiful supply of provisions, etc. A good trick. M They had a little scare at Charley McCray's this morning. The sitting room stove fell down and set the car pet on fire. A few buckets of water settled tho difficulty, and in a few mo ruents poace and quietness prevailed again. Our jail is tenautless at present, and from the indications is liable to bo so for somo time to come, as everybody seems peaceably disposed, and nobody who commits acts of potty larceny ever eeems to be caught. Our sidewalks were very slippery yesterday, and we were sorry to ob serve that whenever a man slipped down thero was always a crowd of his fellow-citizens around to ask him if he hadn't "heard something drop." An effort will bo niado in tho Legislature, this winter to re-pass the j old "local option" law, with gome im provements and amendments. Such a measure will meet with determined opposition among tho friends and ad vocated of "John Barleycorn. ' ' Last week being the Week of Prayer, was observed by services in the M. E. Church on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and in the Presby terian Church the balance of the eve nings of the week. The attendance was good, and considerable interest was manifested. -A bear bunt is being loudly talk ed ofby the veteran hunters of this place and vicinity. Bears are said to be very numerous up the creek, and if a hunt is organized and carried out in good shapo there will undoubtedly be bear meat in the market ere long. We shall undoubtedly have a grand hunting season next winter, as this year has been so unfavorable that very deer have been killed. Two or three winters like tli6 present one and a due observance of the law, would nako deer so plenty that it wouldn't bo much of a trick to kill them. 1 lie Ureenbackers have started a paper in Meadville, called the People's Advocate. It is a joint stock company, and the paper is edited by Mr. A. A Stello. He branches out right lively io his first issue, cutting and slashing like a man running muck-a-muck. some ot the trreat ministers on both sides of th-Atlantic aro tryiu to make out' that there is no place of future punishment or, in Bhort, no hell. Henry Ward Beechcr is a streu uous advocate of this doctrine We were forcibly Btruck by a remark iu the Venango Spectator, to the tlFoct that "it might have made a material Jifftreuce in the peace of mind of sev eral people, had Henry Ward beeu more orthodox io his views." Last week we published the chal engo of Dr. Carver, of San Francisco, whereiu ho proposed to shoot several, glass ball matches under various con ditions. Captain Bocardus, who has recently accomplished the unparalleled feat of breaking five thousand glassi.on, Maggie Mack, Ettio Dawson, balls in five hundred minutes, accepts three of the matches as follows : New York, Jan. 5, 1878. Editor Fored and Stream and Rod and Gun: Sir In your papor of January 3d I have read the challenge issued by Dr. W. F. Carver, of San Francisce, Cal., dated Dec. 12th, 1877. I shall beglad to thoot with Dr. Carver, and will accept tho three matches, num bered one, two and three, as follows : No. 1, To break more class balte thrown from a Regard us trap, 25 yards rise, than any man iu the world ; 2, To bieak 1000 glass balls quicker with a shot gun than any man living ; 3, To bicak more glass balls from a horso's back, the horse to be on a run 21 yards from the balls, than any man in the world can break at 'SO yards and stand on the ground. I will wager $250 a side and up wards iu each of the thrco matches. '. will agree to let Dr. Carver name time and place, providing the matches are shot East. Yours truly, CAPTAIX A. II. BOQARDUS. Since the abave was in type we have been requested to re-publish Carver's challenge, which is as follows : . 1 San Francisco, Cl.,-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 : Iirst, I cau break more glass balls thrown from a Bogar dus trap, 25 yards rise, than any man iu the world ; 2i, I can break 1,000 class balls quicker with a shot-con than any mn living; 3d, I canWak more glass" balls shooting from f horse's back, the horse to be on a run 21 yards from the balls, than any man in the world can break, 30 yards, and stand on the ground ; 4th, I can break more glass br.lls with a rifle, the balls to be thrown into the air, than any man iu the world can break with shot-gun and shoot 30 yards, using Bogardus trap ; 5th, I can break 100 glass balls quicker with a Winchester rifle than anv man in the world can break with a shot-gun; bth, 1 can break two glass balls thrown in the air at the same time, making a double shot and loading the gun once while the halls are iu the air, using a Win chester rifle; 7th, I can make more fancy shots with a rifl than any man in 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 roan in the woiv3, and if buffalo aro not to be found, will shoot elk, and go on the prairie at any time. Dr. W. F. Carver, San Francisco, Cal. John Aguew Sr., died at his lute residence in Shippenville on Friday, 4th inst., in the 78th year of his age, after about a month's illness, and was buried near his former homesteadjjn Barnett township, Jefferson Co., two miles beyond Cooksburg, on Sunday last, a very large number of hU old friends and neighbors, among whom he had lived for upwards of 25 years, attending tho funeral. John Agoew wa3 the father of 12 children, 9 sons and 3 daughters, of whom 8 sons and o daughter are still living, 4 of his sons (J. B., Leonard, Prituer.-aud D. W. Agnew) being citizens of this place. He was one of the old Democratic land marks of the country, and will bo missed. Press, 12th inst Among the list of causes set down for trial at the Court atr Warren last week, was one of M. B. Dunham vs Hall & May, a suit of ejectment and to recover damages for one hundred acres of land in Warren county Messrs. May, Breunan and Irwin from this place attended. The suit was de cided in favor of the plai; tiff, the re markable verdict beiug rendered that the land belonged to tho defendants, but that they must pay the plaintiff somethiug over $800 for removing the timber from their own land ! Of course the case will be appealed. Prof. Sands' wonderful exhibition of startling sensations, although ex tensively advertised and puffed, did uot succeed in drawing much of a crowd on either even'ug. These 25 cent pieces are gazed upon and fon died a good while ere they are parted with in these latter days. Dutch Hill, thus far has uot de ccived the expectations of thoso who havo prophesied regarding her oil de velopmjuts. lne corn well well is hopelessly dry, and while it may not be a pleasant thing for Mr. C. to con template, it is undoubtedly better for the oil market that it is so.

Meadville is agitatirg the subject of buildiug a railroad from that place to Lincsville, where it will form a junction with the Erie & Pittsburgh R. R. This would cive that city com peting lines of road, and have a ten dencv to reduce freights. Only $75, 000 more is needed to insure the build- inc of the road. The amount will probr.bly be raisod.
