Vatentine day, as far as this place
was concerned, was almost a tota
failure. There were no enmic valen
tines on sale in town, and those who
wished to send sentimental ones were
scarce, consequently the sale of stamps
did not materially increase the assets
of the P. O. D.
Burglars broke into J. C. Long's
hardware store, at Tidioute, one even
iog last week, and the News states tha
they got away with about fifteen dol
lars in- money, but that it was not
known that any goods were disturbed
The burglars entered the store through
a window in the rear end of the buil
ding.
The glass ball trap has arrived
and numerous spectators have enjoyed
seeing the boys miss the balls. In
theory it looks easy to shoot these balls
"on the wing," but in practice it looks
differently. None of the shootists have

Alter they "get the bang of it" a little
better we may publish some of the
scores.

Mr. J. H. Dingman of this place
received, on Saturday evening last, the
sad news of the death of one of his
brothers, which occurred in England,
recently, but the message contained no
particulars. The deceased was about
45 years of age, and wai a great trav
eler, having spent more than half his
days in strange lands, lie was some
fourteen years in South America, and
published in pamphlet form a short
account of his life there, which we had
the pleasure of reading a year or two
8go. While sojourning there ho was
robbed by some natives of a large sum
of money, and being a British subject
a native of Canada, he put his claim
in the hands of Lord Derby, for col
lection. The years dragged by, how
ever, and the money was not collected.
He told Mr. Dingman of this place,
who met him in New York last fall,
that if he had been a citizen of the
United States he would have had his
money long ago. We believe his trip
to England was in regard to this busi
ness. We tender our our respectful
sympathy to his bereaved friends.
Although we still have some cold
nights, it really looks as if the back of
winter were broken. And notwith
standing the old adage in regard to "a
green Christmas and a fat graveyard,"
we believe this has been one of the
healthiest winters on record in this
part of the country.
P. S. We wrote the above little
item yesterday, and woke up this mor
ning to find the ground covered with
six to eight inches of snow. And such
isiifo.
-Everybody, or nearly everybody
knows Bonn Pitman, by reputation.
Benn is the man who made phonogra
phy, or short-hand writing a success.
Well, Benn's wife died, a short time
since, and, at ber own request was
cremated in the fiery furnace at Wash
ington, Pa. It is not probable that
the prejent century will witness the
general adoption of this method of dis
posing of the ded.
- We are sorry to learn ' that Geo
W. Dean's house, at Ensworth's Mills,
was burned, with all its contents, on
Monday of last week. The fire caught
on the roof, and ws not discovered
until it was too late to save anything.
We sympathize heartily with Mr.
Dean and his family in their misfor
tune, and trust that they may be able
to make good their loss in a short
time.
Court convenes next week. The
present outlook is for a busy session.
We look for quite a crowd in town
during the week, and would just say
that our office hours are from 7:30 A.
M. to b P. m., and our omce is over
Robinson & Bonner's store, next door
to Post Office.
We are informed that Miss Polly
Hood, of Tionesta, was married on
Monday last, to a Fryburg gentleman
whose name escapes our recollectiou.
The young couple have our good
wishes.

CpU Knox has leased and moved
into the Lawrence House, and Mr.
Lawrence has moved into the Cap
tain's residence. Withouf loubt the

Bills have been printed at this
office for a vendue at the residence of
John Zenta, in Tionesta Twp., about
two miles down the river from Tiones
ta station, on Thursday, March 7th.
He has farm products, farming uten
sils, live stock and household goods to
dispose of.
J. D. W. Reck has sold out his
grocery business in Oil City to the
roan of whom he bought it. He has
been in business there for about five
months, and, we judge, has done well
We suppose he will turn his attention
either to lumber or oil, within the
boundaries of Forest.
Air. boutuard, at Koss Kun, is
still agitating the rock in one of Elder
Roberts' old wells. Nothing tangible
has as yet rewarded his labors, but
there's no telling what a week may
bring forth. It is altogether probable
that there will be more developments
near that point during the coming
spring.
Capt. Knox desires us to state
that a grand party will be given at
the Lawrenco House on Friday even
ing next, 22d inst., Washington's
Birthday. McCray's popular string
band will furnish the music, and of
the supper it is unnecessary to speak.
A general invitation is extended to
all who wish to participate.
We understand that Messrs. J. T.
Dale and Jno. Jamieson havepurchas
ed a couple of producing wells with
machinery and everything complete
near St. Petersburg. The wells, if our
informant is correct, are producing ten
barrels. We hope our young friends
may make thoir everlasting fortunes
out of their venture.
Prof. Monday has brought on an
elegant upright piano, of German man
ufacture, which is said to be one of
the most perfect instruments ever
brought to town. He Imported it di
rect from Germany. Those interested
in music or musical instruments should
make it a point to see and hear the
Professor's piano. lie has it in Geo.
Hunter's house, just north of the mill.
