Allen's reg ular appointment in tho M. E. Church in thia place, but k is hardly probable that services will be held at that time, on account of the proximity of the church to the cases of small-pox. Last Sunday Rev. Elliot held services in the morning, but announced that thero would be no service in the tvening, and further that there would be Sab bath School in the Presbyterian church for two weeks. We believe his action in the matter met tho approbation of the entire congregation. Gen. Harry White was in town last week, calling ou a few of his con stituents. His lime was limited, and he did not get around as he would have liked to. We were absent from town, and did not meet him. His course in Congress is approved at home and abroad, by the party, and his con stituency will see to it that ho is sent to Washington to represent them for at least two years more. The well on Charley Hill's farm, fur miles up the river, is down 300 feet, and we hear that the operators are being bothered by salt water. If, after the wter is shut off, oil in pay ing quantities is not found, the well will be put down 800 to 1000 feet. The well on the Wood9 Heirs tract is going down as rapidly as the drillers can get their work in. As to other ventures in the county we hear no par ticular nows, but if any of them get oil in paying quantities we shall, no doubt, be made acquainted with the fact at once. "Baldwin's Guide of the Pennsyl vania Oil Regions and Northwestern Pa." for July, has come to hand. It contains full and accurate Timo Ta bles of all railroads in this section, with their principal connections, distances, fares, expreas routes, telegraph rates, postal information, valuable oil statis tics, Ac, &c, and is published month ly, at $1.00 per annum, or lOcts. per uumber, by W. S. Baldwin & Bro., P. O. Box 362, Titusville, Pa. It is a publication that has long been needed in this section, and is ably conducted. On the 6th inst., in company with Messrs. Horace Jones, E. A. Baldwin and W. E. Stephens, of Tidioute, we hunted the islands from this point down to Holeman's, in quest of wood cock. This was our second veuture, and by reason of the old veterans, par ticularly Mr. Jones, holding their fire, and allowing us to take the best shots, we made a fair score. The weather, however, was too waim fur any sort of comfort, and it took us a day or two to "brace up." Whenever we go woodcockiug, if we may be allowed to choose our company, we will take a few of those big-hearted old gunners of Tidioute, and bet our pile that we have a fair show and a good time. A great deal of good and solid work has been done on the sidewalks during the past few weeks, but recent ly the work has been allowed to lan guish somewhat on account of the small-pox excitement. It is not at all likely, however, that any poor sidewalk will escape the attention of the com mittee. Bills have been sent to seve ral parties for whom sidewalks have been built, but we believe none hnve responded. If tho bills are not pnid forthwith, the amounts will be entered up against the properties, and collect ed by process of law, thereby adding materially to the expense. "A word to the wise," etc. Another Pioneer Gone. Joseph Allender was born in Center Co., Pa., Jan. 13th, 1802, and died at his late residence in Forest Co. June 25th, 1878. He camo with his parents to thiscec tion of the country when but 3 years of age, and lias lived and died upon the old homestead. He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at the age of 22 years, and has ever been a faithful member. The last eleven weeks of his life were spent hi a help less and suffering condition, through all of which he retained control of his mind remarkably well, and manifested no disposition to murmur at his lot. lie had a strong desire to die, and seemed to realize that his lime had come. Thus peacefully passed away an aged pioneer, a highly respected citizen and a father in Israel. The fu ueral, at Aabury Chapel, wus largely attended. W. O. A. Forest I-resstu Franklin papers please cpy-J Teams Wanted For Bark Haul iog, at Brookstou Tannery, Brookston, Forest Co., Pa. 15-3m For a Time after the first case of small-pox here, there were many of our citizens, indeed, we don't know but a majority of them, in the face of the fact that the physicians stated pos itively that the case was small-pox, who took the theories of others, and their own ideas, and boldly declared that they "didn't believe a word of it I" The most doubtful miod is now con vinced that not only was the first cas' small-pox, but that there has been at least another case of the same, beside two or three cases of varioloid which have been concealed from the public. The case now stands thus : A black smith and his wife and child are down with small-pox ; the woman is recov ering, the man was just taken down yesterday ; we understand that two of D. Walters' children have, or have had, slight attacks of varioloid. We be lieve this is the present extent of the contagion. The Sanitary Committee has built a pest-house on the poiu of the hill on tho north side of Tubb's Run, whence the small-pox patients will be removed to-morrow morning, before the town is astir. As regards the building of this pest house, several of the residents of the upper ward were considerably agitated, and a meeting he'd yesterday to protest against the location of the building and the transportation of patients through the streets of that portion of the town. Tie health officer replied that the place selscted was, in his opinion, the best suited for the purpose of anyplace in the neighborhood, and further, that the transportation would take placo in such a manner, and at such a time that there would bo no danger of in fection. Personally, we believe the officer knows what he is talking about. We trusted his judgment in the first instance, and time proved him correct. We are willing to trust him now, and believe that time will justify him, even in the eyes of those who ore now most bitterly opposing his views. An item, taken from the Titusville Herald, is going the rounds of the pa pers, saying that several persons have died here of small-pox ; that numbers are down with it; that the hotels and stores lire closed, and business suspend ed generally. No part of said state ment is true. Excursion to Niagara Falls. The new route "between Pittsburgh and Buffalo, over the P. T. & B. R. R. is to be taken advantage of by Messrs. Bristol and nadley, of Tidioute, and Orion Siggins, of West Hickory, to give the people along the route, from this point to Irvitieton, an opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. Under their management an excursion will take place on Wednesday next, July 24th, starting from this place at G:30 A. m.; Hickory, 6;4 5 ; Trunkeyville, 6.52; Tidioute, 7:00 ; Irvineton, 7:30. The train will reach the falls at noon, and leave there at 5:30 r. m., giving excur sionists five aid one half hours there, which will be ample time to see every thing of interest. The fare from Tio nesta and return, will be $3.50 ; from Hickory and Trunkeyville, $3.25 ; and from Tidioute, Thompson, and Irvine- ton, $3.00. These rates are at least a dollar less than half fare, and should be taken advantage of by all who have any desire to boo the great falls. The managers of the excursion will furnish a car for the Tionesta people exclu sively, if they will fill it. All who contemplate taking in the excursion, are requested to purchase their tickets in advauce, so that the managers can provide cars enough to seat everybody ; they cannot agree to furnish seats for those who do not secure tbem befoie the excursion. Tickets can be pur chased from Dr. BUino or Mr. J. L, Craig, for this point; from Mr. Siggins and the ticket agent, for Hickory and Trunkeyville ; Messrs. J. D. Bristol and Squires & Iladley, of Tidioute, will sell for that place and Thorapscu ; aor the statiuu ngt: at Irvinetou will sell for that point. A baggage car will be attached to the train, to trans port baskets, etc., without extra charge. As a suitable place will be provided for lunching, all had better go pre pared to consume their own refresh ments. Any further information in regard to the excursion, will be cheer fully furnished upon application to Messrs. Bristol, Iladley or Siggins. It is altogether probable that our people will never have another opportunity to make tho trip bo cheaply, in so short a time, and have so much time for sight-seeing at tho falls. Those who contemplate visiting Niagara during their lives can never do better than to embrace the present opportunity. A young man named Geo. Mar tin, aged about 22 years, was found dead, hangiug by the neck, in the woods between John and M ra. Hood's, about two miles up the creek, on Wednesday afternoen last. He had come in with a woman whose name is Mrs. Sterling, who claims to be a cou sid of the deceased, and a young sister of the woman,' on the 3:17 train from Oil City, and all were on their way to tho bouse of Mrs. Sterling, some dis tance further up the creek. At the place mentioned he left his compan ions, fixed a strap to a tree, and swung off into eternity. He was doubtless laboring under a temporary attack of insanity. Tho body was interred in tho cemetery in this place. The pa rents of the deceased are said to reside in the vicinity of Meadville. The fol fowing is the finding of the coroner's jury: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Forest County, ss. "An inquisition indented, taken at Tionesta, in the County of Forest, the 10th and 11th days of July, 1878, before me, C. A. Randall, one of the Justices of the Peace in and for said county, and acting as Coroner in and for the county aforesaid, upon the view of the body of George Martin, then and there lyiag dead, upon the oaths of D. W. Clark, J. A. Proper, G. W. Robinson, P. M. Clark, J. H. Ding man, and J. D, W. Reck, good and lawful men of the county aforesaid, who being sworn and chargea" tot Jn quire on behalf of the Commonwealth when, where, how, and after what man ner the said George Martin came to his death, do say, upon their oaths, that one George Martin, late of ; , not having the fear of God before his eyes, but being seduced and moved by the instigation of the Devil, at Tionesta township, county aforesaid, in a certain wood at said township near the house of John Hood, standing and being,' the said George Martin be ing there alone' with a certain leather strap, of the value of 25 cents, which he then and there had, ai)d held in his hands, and one end- thereof then and there put about his neck, and the oth er end thereof tied about a bougTi of a certain pine tree, himself then and there, with the strap aforesaid, voluu tarily aud feloniously, and of his mal ico aforethought, hanged, and suffoca ted ; and so the Jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths aforesaid, say that the said George Martin, then and there, in manner and form aforesaid, as a felon of himself, feloniously, voluntarily, and as of malice aforethought, himself kill ed, strangled and murdered, against the peace and dignity of the Common wealth. And the Jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths aforesaid, do say that the said George Martin, at the time of doing and committing of the felony and mur der aforesaid, had goods and chattels, contained in the inventory to the in quisition aunexed, which remains in the custody of Henry Swaggert, Con stable Tionesta Boro." The above voluminous paper is sign ed witnessed by the acting Coroner and Jurors, and we publish it, believ ing that if anybody has auy notion of committing suicide, a perusal of the above will cause them to change their mind.
