Bradford, beside doing the bos3

grencral invitation is extended.
A party of young folks from town
started out on Saturday evening to
attend the Quarterly Meeting at Whig
Hill, but they either didn't start soon
enough or drove too slow, as they
didn't get there until the minister was
pronouncing the benediction.
By reference to the advertise
ment, it will be seen that the timber
and oil lands of the Superior Lumber
Co., will be sold by the assignee of
that institution, on the 25th inst. This
is a good opportunity for somebody to
accumulate some good property.
Woik is progressing on the new
stave mill, and it will probably be
ready for business in the courso of a
coupla of weeks. Bolts have come in
even more numerous than usual, and
the company has enough on hands to
keep the mill ruuning for some
months.
The spring elections occur next
Tuesday, but there ia as yet very little
stir about them in this section. We
suppose, of course, that many of our
born politicians Lave a programme
fixed for the occasion, but we are not
informed as to who will be candidates
fer tha principal offices.
Traiups seem to be getting scarcer
throughout the Union, but "pedes
trians" male and female, are multiply
ing rapidly. This class of people aim
at walking 5000 quarter miles in 5000
quarter hours. And if they happen
to accomplish the feat, some money
will chjgnga hands, but for every gain
er there is a loser. If theso pcde3-
tnans would "go west, and wain a
quarter inila corn row with a hoe in
their hands, every quarter hour bo
tweeu sunrise and sunset, clearing out
tho weeds as they traveled, we could
eee some tense in their peculiar lino
of busings. There will be big chauees
of thia kind ollered next summer.
Crystal Wedding,
The event of the season transpired
last evening, on the ocoasion of the
fifteenth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr.' and Mrs. A. II. Partridge.
Friends to tho number of one hun
dred or more gathered at their dwell
ing, bringing "wilh them generally
little souvenirs in the fhapo of glass
ware, and various articles having glass
in some form about them. Some of
tho articles were tasteful and elegant,
ot' ";rs useful, aud others laughable.
Lack of space precludes our giving a
list of the presents. The party was
tho most pleasant one that has taken
place in Tionesta for a number of
years. Tho boys privately sent up to
Fagundis, and had Messrs. Toy and
McCray come down with their little
music boxes, and shortly after nine
o'clock, they were stationed on top
of a counter in the Partridge store
room, and dancing commenced. This
was indulged in by almost everybody ;
some of whom had never been Been to
shaka their feet to music before. This
was kept up until word camo that re
freshments were to bo served, when
the store room was vacated in a hurry,
and tho parlors of the Partridge man
sion crowded. T'le refreshments were
excellent, varied and ample, and were
heartily enjoyed by all. After supper
the store room was quickly filled
again, and the dancing resumed, and
kept up until after 3 o'clock this
morning. Those who did not take
part in the dancing were interested
spectators, or passed tho evening in
visiting and conversation. The affair
was a grand success, aud those who
were there will carry happy recollect
ions of the event in their memories for
years to come, icn years ago, we
attended the wooden wedding of this
couple, w hich was as fine an affair as
this one. When their Silver weddiug
comes ofT, may we be there to see.
Tho town is smiling a broud-gauge
grin ovs;- a very naughty trick played
by a rude juvenile on a staid legal
gentleman of our place: It appears
that tho gar.tlcrr.an mentioned had
bought two packages of coOee at
Dericksou & Cc.'3 e-ore, and taking
them to his office laid them down un
til such liue as he should go home.
The rude juvenile, happening in, and
being incited by some evil spirit, fet
to work to put up a job on the said
legal luminary, and to this end, the
gentleman being busy, he wrote some
thing on two slips of paper, and partly
opening the boxes, inserted in each a
elip. The disciple of Blackstone car
ried the coffee home at noon. During
the afternoon his wife came down to
his office, carrying with her one of the
packages of coffee, and a slip of pa
per, which had been found in the box,
containing the following alarming
statement:
"CAUTION !
"This coffee 13 poisoned, Bucar of
lead having been spilled in it Y'
The thought camo like an inspira
tion to the lawyer that some conscien
tious employee of the firm that put up
the coffee, had taken this means of
saving the lives of those who were un
fortunate enough to purchase the cof
fee. So taking the coffee and the slip
of paper ho posted down to Derickson
Co.'s store, and taking Mr. Dingman
aside he laid bare tho villainy of the
Coffeo Co., and the disinterested hu
manity of the employee, at the same
exhibiting tho slip of paper. Mr.
Dingman promptly took the alarm,
and was about to write a bloodthirsty
letter to the firm of which ho had
purchased the coffee, when Mr. Smith,
the agent of the firm steppod in. He
was at once let into the diabolical se
cret, aud was badly worried about the
matter, promising to look the matter
carefully up when he returned to the
city. Daripg the afternoon, however,
the attorney again put in an appear
auce at the store, aud informed Mr.
Dingman that he guessed the paper
was a canard, and that he had been
the victim of a practical joke, at tha
same time exhibiting the klip found
in the other package, which read about
as follows :
"This is an inferior article of coffee,
intended culy or employees aud
seccud-ek.: .tivyerj."
Tho v;jLi:z cf the joke enjoys it as
well a& anybody else, but ve would
advue that depraved juvenile to kaep
his waather oye i-aeled, because the
lnwyer i3 breaking a mild sort of
veiieauce, aud id bound to bo even

Capt. Boynton, the inventor of a
life-saving apparatus, started down iho

Thursday morning last, and run the
river through slush ico, to Pittsburgh,
which point he reached on Sunday
afternoon. He was enthusiastically
received at Emlenton, Parker, Kit
tanning, Freeport, and other points
along tho route, and his journey was
a triumphal march, or swim, from tho
time he started until he reached Pitts
burgh. Ha is not much the worse for
his cold ride.
A petition praying for the legis
lation proposed by a notice published
in this paper, is in circulation, and is
being numerously signed. ' All, or
nearly all our citizens are more or
less interested in protecting not only
small grime, but domeitic fowls as
well, all of which is contemplated by
the petition. The petition has been
sent to each township of the county,
and from indications we believe four
fifths or more of our voters will sign
it. Whether it can be incorporated
into a law remains to be seen.
