Church Meeting. Tho Annual Congregational Meet ing of the Presbyterian Society will be held iu the Church, this (Wednesday) evening, Aug. th, at o o clock. Ihe members of tho church and congrega tion are requested to attend. By Oiider of Trustees. Itev. Elliot will occupy the pul pit of tho Tresbyterian Church next Sunday morning. Services commence at 11 o'clock. Wc6teru tramps decline to work in the harvest fields for $2.JjO per day. They sny "the world owes them a liv ing and they are goiDg to have it. There is not very much change in the price of oil, which lingers nrouud 1.00. It doesn't look as if tho price would advance very much for some to come. Alexander II. Stephens speaks of the Potior committee as "thimble-rig- gore. Ibis man bleptiens is becom ing outrage msly saucy siuco his re nominaliou is assured. At the convention in Oil City yesterday Wesley Chuoibers was made the nominee of the Greenback party fur Congress, for the district composed of Erie, Warren and Venango coun ties. y It is noY unlawful to catch brook trout, and those who have failed to catch them in season had better not try it now, for fear they might have better luck, and get themselves ar rcBtoi'. The borough has but one case of small pox on hands as present, the blacksmith, Beverly. The babe has recovered. It is supposed that Bev erly will be entirely free from the dis ease in a week or two. Several of our young men are now in Forest County, ii&lmig and striking at tho goats. JJrookville Graphic, 2d These young men have broken the law if they have ce.ught any trout since the 31st day of July. This Morning's associated press reports give ao account of a pigeon match between Batrardus and one Coventry, an Englishman, for 1000, The score stood 78 to 79, in favor of Bogardus, at the close ol the match. Some of the Erie delegates' are dissatisfied at the nomination of Os mer, and are doing their best to have Mr. Heed run at the general election Whether they succeed or not will de pend upon bow much scuse Mr. Heed has. The amount of oil which the well on Chas. Hill's farm is producing is nut known, probably on account of salt water baiDg pumped up with the oil. Those mho talk about it estimate the productiou at from fire to seven barrels per day. -As wo bond oursflf to our (ask this morning, we hear the cheerful notes of the hand-organ stealing gent ly up through the fog, and speculate upon the probable amount of lucre tin; musician w ill have when he strikes the other end of town.

Diugman, II. A. Adams and Jos. (Jr.ve. G. W. Buvard is figuring on u flag wulk, which he con tern plates hav ing laid down in front of his store and warehouse. In the eud tho flag walk would be the cheapest, as it would not need repairing or rebuilding for two or thrco generations. We had a big storm of raiu and hail on Thursday afternoon last. The hailstones were sufficiently laigo to crack several panes of glass in town, and the wind was so violent that it blew down several trees within the boro limits, and took the top off Mr. Kelly's chimueys. There was also quite a hard rain yestsrduy, accompa nied with hail. Work on the Woods Heirs well was stopped a little ehort of 1000 feet. On Monday lust an attempt was made to explode u torpedo iu the well, but, from the effect of the explosion, it was thought that the torpedo wa a failure. When it exploded it did not even fill up the hole, nor batter down the sides of the rock. The experiment was a failure "in every seuse of the wont. The torpedo used was the Swett, or Producer's torpedo. To day a torpe pedo of Ilobeits' manufacture will be put in and we will probably bear from it this afternoon. WAIT AII C40 WITH t.'3 FAIR POINT!

In accordance with the advice given by the Ledger last week, the Democracy of Warren couuty have endorsed the nominations of the Green back party in that county. Perhaps this will operate to open the eyes of of those Republicans who have joined the party. In this place when such a junction is talked of on the Member of Congress, we have heard at least one prominent Democrat say that if this was done, he would vote for Harry White. It is also reasonable to sup pose that several of the Republicans cf the Greenback party will take the same course, when they see how they are being "worked in." The Brookville Graphic 6ays that it is probable that Hon. Geo. A. Jenks will run for Congress od 'he Demo cratic side this fall, but this is not the latest news in this direction ; the pro gramme now is for the Democracy to make no nomination in this District, but to endorse the Democratic Green backer nominated at Parkers, thus using the Republican Greeubackers as a cats-paw to pull their Democratic chestnuts out of thi fire. Had Teylor been nominated the Democrats would probably have made a nomiuatiou. Int lligenco from the officers in command in thj West clearly indicates that the Indian war is rapidly ap proachiug a close. The hostiles have been so closely pressed, without com ing to a general engagment, that they have been compelled to divide, and are rapidly making for their reserva tions. Should they succeed iu reach ing them they will then claim to be "good Indians," and probably escapo arrest by liberal promises such as they are Iti the habit of making under such circumstanced. The agitators aro busy predicting a general strike, to commence on the 15th itist. The truth is that nowhere iu Peunsy. vauia is there at this mo ment any indication whatever of a strike, either iu August or at any time this year. It is little less than a crime to alaim the country with foundation less rumors of impending strikes, etc. If the time should unhappily come for a strike to be inaugurated the country will know it soon enough. Scarcely a week passes but we re ceive one or more communications on Wednesday, after our forms are closed. Before our next issue tho news therein contained is stale, and hence the letter does not appear. We should have all commuuicatiou3 iuteuded for publica tion previous to Tuesday uoou. "Hickory Chips." Ed. Republican : Thinking that an item or two from this townnhip might not be nut of place at this time, I venture tho following items for your columns : Men have been at work upon the "Narrows" between East Hickory and the mouth of Little Hickory Creek for some time. It is to be hoped that a good road may be opened between the above places, and thus form a direct road from this and other points in Hickory Twp. to Tionesta, where most of our citizens have, for some time past, had considerable business. It is doubted by many whether or not a good road can ever be built as the so called "narrows, from the fact that the hill-side is very steep and thoy think that there w ill bo "slides" every spring and fall. There is, however, but very little soil covering the rock , which is a kind of shelving Mate, und not liable to slide in. A ne'w road is also beiti built from East Hickory creek, at u point about two miles above the month, up Bearer creek, which promifts t be a good, substantial road. With the opening of roads comes prosperity, generally. Faimers are nearly all through with their harvest in this section, with the exception of a few fields of nats. Crops were very good, hereabouts, c insider ing the late frosts in this part of crea tion, which seem to have done but very little damage. But one or two piece? of grain wero injured, to my knowl edge, in this vicinity. Corn promises an abundaut yield. Potatoes and buckwheat look good. The schools of this District ore, at present writing, in a prosperous condi tion. Teachers manifest rm.re interest in their work than formerly, and the patrons work more with the teachers to raise the efficiency of the schools. In some of tho schools the children have collected quite a number of curi osities. In the Church Hill school, taught by F. F. Whittekin) the pupils have collected one hundred specimens of woods, all that were obtainable in this part of the country in a living or growing state. Fourteen specimens of woods and some stones, ten or twelvo different varieties, were brought from the vicinity of Niagara Falls, by their teacher, on the 24th ult. All are care fully labeled and kept in the school as the property of the children. All the other schools have something equally interesting, collected by the teachers aud pupils. Gamma. The first labor riot of the season occurred at the capital of the nation some days since, and was on a small scale. A crowd of three hundred or more attempted to drive the working men from the new building being erect ed for the Printing and Engraving bu reau. A collision occurred between the crowd and the mounted police, in which several of the former were shot, and one of the latter severely wound ed. The mob posted up notices threat ening the workmen with death if they persisted in wotking.at the low wages they were receiving. One of the riot ers ha3 been sent u jail for three months, aud the other ringleaders will probably keep him company. Toue of them are workingmcu. They arc demagogues who live upon the labor of others. Tho authorities are deter mined to protect men ivho aro willing to work, aud if tho police shall prove inefficient troops will doubtless be used. The annual cougregatioual meet ing was held in the Presbyterian church on Wednesday evening last, ou which occasion Mr. G. G. Butterlield was made Chairman, md W. R. Du n Secretary of the meeting. Tho Trea- surer, Mr. A. a. Jveiiy, submitted a statement of the funds for the rear, ending Sept. 1st, by which it appeared that tho amount subscribed for the ministers salary was in arrears about $30. Messrs. A. B Kelly, C. A. lia..- dall and W. R. Dunn er t( o. led a committee to circulate a paper ior subscriptions to the minister's salary for the ensuing year. Adjourned to meet this evening, when the committee will report and officers be elected for the coming year. Some dastardly thief took fiom Mrs. Heath's clothes line last night, some garments, four pieces, belouging --to"- to-"' - ' J """o lady, who is a soldier's orphan, has been prepariug to go away to school, and the fruits of her labor, as well as or her money, goes to beneut some thief. It is to be hoped that juntico may overtake tho guilty. The following item is taken from the Derrick of the 5th inst: "On Friday evening, as Mr. Porter Has kell, of Tylersburg, was driving along the rond not far from that place, he was thrown violently from his buggy to the ground, and was very badly in jured. His horse ran away and made a wreck of the buggy. He is a man well up in years and is one of the largest dealers iu lumber in Clarion county." he School Board of Tionesta Bor ough met at the Commissioners' office on Monday evening last, and elected Miss Woodin, of Jamestown, N. Y., to tako charge of the lower school. The choice of a teacher for the upper school school was deferred until next Monday evening, when it is expected that the board will ho better informed as to the qualifications of the applicants. An excursion train of three coaches passed up the road this morn ing, with Jerry Gtoch's picnic party to Broketislraw Island. A brass band accompr.uicd the excursion and dis coursed some sweet iuuic at tho Tio nesta Depot while the train stopped. If it don't raiu the excursion will probably b a success. . Hon. W. C.
