W. 0. Allen will preach iu tho M. E. Church next Sunday cycli ng. Services to commence promptly at 7:30 o'clock p. m. By bills posted in town, we learn that S. II. Mason, Esq., Greenback candidate for Governor, will speak at the Court Iiouse to-morrow evening. Itev. E. D. McCreary, of South Oil City, is on the editorial staff of the Assembly Herald, published at Fair oirjt. Mr. McCreary was stationed here iu 18G8. Jas. M. McKay, P.M., generoualy sent us up a larpe slice of watermelon, on Saturday last. That it didn't agree with us was out his fault, and he hat our thanks all the same. At a school meeting held on Mou- day evening last, Prof. J. W. Walker, of Brookville, was chosen principal of our schools for the coming term, which commences on the first Monday of September. Prof. W. is highly recom mended as a successful and efficient teacher of loDg experience. At the congregational meeting held at the Presbyterian Church last Wednesday evening, the Committee on Minister's Salary reported that $400 would be guaranteed the Minister, aud Rev. Elliot was called for another year. He holds the matter under con sideration. The fruin containing Grosh's ex cursion to Brokcnstraw, which passed up the road on last Wednesday morn ing, ran over and killed an old man at Cobham. lie was deaf and partially blind, and after being seen it was im possible to stop the train in timj to save bis life. Remember that all voters must be assessed on or before Sept. 5th, and State or county taxes must 1 e aid on or before October 6th, to qualify as electors. All otherwise qualified voters who were not assessed and did not pay taxes lust year, must be assessed sixty days before the next election, or they will lose their votes. Patrick Joyce, assisted by John Muenscnburger, is building the cellar walls and fouudatioci for the new addi tion to'the Central Iiouse. Th9 exca vation of the cellar and the laying 'of the draia tiles has bceen a big job, but everything is being done with a view to permanency. When the addition is finished the "Central" will be a big house. Mexicau dollars, the Director of the Mint decides, are only worth their value in bullion, which, according to the present price of silver, is about ninety cents. Our own trade dollar is in somewhat the same category. The standard dollar is a full legal tender. All this has been again and again pub lished, but it seems difficult to make even those who are interested in tho question understand it. The excursion to Fair Point last Saturday, under the management of Messrs. Squires & Hadley, of Tidioute, was a complete success. The delega tion from this place, though not large, was enthusiastic. Everything passed off pleasantly, and the mamgers would probably come out a little ahead of the game. Nothing but the stringency of the times prevented a large crowd going from here. Squire Gilliland, of Plum town, ship, sent Frederick Ilyren. the Tio Dentil Prophet, to the Poor House last Monday week. Th old man has been running down nil i tor some time, ins health is very poor, co doubt the re sult of fasting and exposure, and his wardrobe more dilapidated than ever before, and barely sufficient in quanti ty to wad a gun. Venango fyeetator, All rules have exceptions, and all laws provisos. In the new game law is a loop-hole which allows our sports men a chaoce to shoot a few squirrels occasionally without laying themselves liable to Cue. The law provides that it shall be lawful to kill squirrels or other game when found stealing or destroying grain or fruit on the shoot er's premises. Some of our sportsmen hold seveial Treasurer's deeda, which gives them a good deal of territory to watch. Prof. Weber, who flourished here some six to eight years ago, passed through town last week ou his way to Tylersburg, where he is making a short viit. Ho called at our olllce and fa vored ua with some choice music on the violin, of which instiumcut he is a master. He is located iu Greenville Mercer Co., where ha has a good sized class, beside having charge of a brass band. Fatal Accident. Information was received yesterday of the death of Mr. 'Ab." Butler, well known to our citizens us a hard working, energetic and reliable man. His death occurred under the follow ing painful circumstances : It appears that he bad taken a load of people out to the blackberry woods, in Jenks township, and on his return, alone, had slopped alongside a spring, about five miles northeast of Marienville, un hitched and proceeded to feed bis horses, aud to eat his lunch. It is sup posed that his horses started off, and that he ran after and caught them, and was kicked by one of the horses, kill ing hira instantly. Esq. Livingston and Wra. Hays, coming along the road, on Monday, saw the horses walk ing along the road, without their bri dles. They knew the team, and se cured it, and waited, expecting every moment to see Butler come along look ing for his horses. After waiting for some time, tbey began to suspect that something was wrong, and going back, they found Mr. Butler, dead, near the spring, with a small wound in one of his temples, presumably made by a cork of a horse-shoe, his dinner, uncov ered, sitting besi Je the spring. A cor oner's jury was summoned by Esq Livingston, and a verdict was tendered jn accordance with the facts. The de ceased enjoyed the respect and confi dence of ull who knew him, and his sudden aud violent death has cast a gloom over tho whole circle of his ac qifaintance. Ho left a family, consist ing of a wife, a growu-up son, and, we believe, two small children. II is home was about one-half mile this side of Tylersburg, aud his age was between forty-five and fifiy. Barnett Township Notes. August 10th, 1878. Ed. Republican : Business calling us to "Old Forest" a few days since, wo nvade a few notes of the transac tions thereabouts, which we submit to the cutting criticism of the editorial Ciesars (scissors): There had been some cases of Diph theria in Clarington, hence we did not finj, and are not able to report, the good state of health we would desire to. The blackberry the magnet that attracts from the surrounding counties torses, wagans, buckets, barrels, and eople who delight in scratched hands, torn clothes and loud yelling, and those who are unable to go to the sea side that luscious fruit Iroui which am is made, and which, with lumber and Republican votes, has made Old Barnett famous, is a minus quantity as compared with the crops of past years. The frost did it. The bridge over the mouth of Cole man Run has been finished aud taken off the hands of the contractors, Messrs. Thompson & Darr. Thompson & Darr having sawed out what stock they bad in, have shut down their mill. Work on the new school house at Cooksburg has been begun by the con tractor, Daniel Black, Esq. It is 32 feet long by 26 feet wide, and will have a 12-foot ceiling. The building is to cost $630. It is situated on the south side of Thorn's Run, 40 rods from its mouth and about 80 rods east Judge Cook 8 house. A very com- meudable feature of its location is its proximity to a good spring of water. Oscar Hottel, wh was shot by the accidental discharge of a gun some time ago, is recovering from the effects of his wound. The greenbacker, with his verdant paper and equally verdant project for making good times, has sought out Barnett, and a meeting was advertised for Tuesday evening last, to be held at Pleasant Grove School Iiouse. The wheat crop has ulmoet proved a failure. The failure is attributable to the 6priug frosts and the depredations of squirrels and the fly. Buckwheat aud corn look well. Rev. Payne was to hold a grove meeting at Clarington, August 10th aud 11th. Nothing Moke. Mr. M. Ittlc, Jr., has handed us the Catalogue and Descriptive Price List of Rudolph Wurliuer & Bro., 115 Main St., Cincinnati, O., Import ers and mauuf'ueturers of Musical In struments, Pianos, Organs, aud every thing in tho musical line. Mr. Ittel tells us that this firm is perfectly reli able, and that orders sent to their ad dress will meet with prompt attention, and goods will bo sold at as low rates as by any other house in the United States. . Nebraska Notes. Nebraska, Pa , Aug. 12, 1878. In behalf of the people of Nebraska, we rise, hoping to prove that although the pen of "I. De Clare" has long since been siknt, bis townsmen are not idle. Probably never before in the annals of Forest County, has the lumber busi ness been so extensively pursued in the summer as at the present time. Ford & Lacy have constructed from their mills to the creek, a plank road, over which they send daily some 80j 000 feet of boards, which, as soon as received under the charge of L. Arner, are rafted, and then run as the case demands, to Pittsburgh. T. D. Collins has completed the rail road begun last summer, and cars large loads of logs, which are imme diately sawed by another gang of men in the mill. There are no idlers here, and a tramp is something unknown. I might mention that, at the head of the Coon Railroad, Mr. Collins bas erected several good dwelling houses, one of which is occupied by Geo. Blue rock, formerly of Minister. On Saturday evening last, Mr. At- wood, supported by a staff of Honora able Judges, Divines and Legislative gentlemen, delivered a greenback speech in the old school house. The meeting was largely attended and con tinued until a late hour, but Deitber the ladies or gentlemen experienced any weariness, as the speaker's manner was perfectly original, and the com parisons vivid. There were a fewBign ers, but not many from here. We look forward to another meeting, not far distant, when Mr. Gilfillen, our worthy Justice, will reply to the arguments of Mr. Atwood. A number of friends gathered at Mr Arner's, on Sunday afternoon, to wit ness tbe baptism of three of Mr. A. 'a grandchildren. Rev. Elliot performed the service, after which he delivered an eloquent and practical discourse. It is a treat to listen to the Reverend gentleman, as his sermous are filled with original thought, pleasantly ex pressed. We understand that in the course of a few weeks there will beser vice3 held here regularly, If that be be the case, and the minister is an in telligent one, the people will be happy to attend. And still there's more to follow On the 10th inst., at the house of Mr. Rudy, at Galenza, Mr. Henry Tre maine and Miss Annie Sarvey were united in marriage by JamesGilfillen Esq. Extensive preparations had been made before the event and all passed off joyfully. May they never feel the want of greenbacks. Miss Gertie Lacy, of Warren, also Mr. Clarence Lacy were visiting here to-day. The young lady expects to spend several weeks in the woods. Blackberries 7 cts. a qt. Rattle snakes lying around regaidlessof cost. Miss Emma Arner is teaching at Newtown. Mr. Perry Button is in Portville, N. Y. Five loads of people from Dutch Hill went to Red Hot to-day, and re turned with 200 quarts of blackber ries. Pedro. Those who intend to use hard coal during the coming winter, should see Mr. J. T. Brennan, who is ordering daily. We believe that Mr. B. is the only party in town who has handled this article for the past two years, and he is able to get better figures than those who order only one or two car loads. He delivers the coal at $6.75 for the best, and $6.30 for chestnut, the customer to pay for the weighing. This is low for hard coal, and we be lieve this is the best time to lay in a supply. Call on Mr. Brennan at the Court Iiouse and leave your orders. THE BEST I EVER USED. 1 had a sore on my kg for four years, and all remedies failer1 till I got me a bottler of E. K. Thompson's Great Healing Ointment, use three of the 25 cent bottles, and to my great delight it healed up my very troublesome com panion in two weeks.
