One dollar an fifty, cents is the subscription price of the Republican. Mr. Ed. IJrennan of New York Citv is visiting his broiher, 'Squire J.T. Men are busily at work putting in a new trestle at Dawson's station, three miles up the river. Mrs. J. II. Dewees arrived in town last week and is stopping with her father's family, Judge Dalo. Brookville had a $10,000 fire re cently. There being no insurance on the property the loss was a total ons. We cordially invite short, ipicy communications fram our friends all over the county. Send us facts; not falicie8. A Parly of young folks from this place attended the Stewart's Run Lit erary Society last eveningjlfff had good time, so they eay, All Soldiers entitled to arrears of Pensions, can have their claims for warded immediately and secure early collection by calling on J. B. Ag ue. It. Remember that the subscription price of the Rei ublican has been re duced to $1.50 per annum, thus plac ing it within the reach of everybody. The Committee on Invitation will pleaso accept our thanks for a "bid" to a giand masqurade at the skating rink, in Tidioute, to-night. Should like to attend had we ttmo. Rev. ktone is holding protrated meetings at the M. E. Church at pres ent, which are well attended to begin with. A revival iu Tionesta is sorely needed. May success attend his ef forts. Court convenes next Monday. A great many of our patrons and sub scribers will undoubtedly be in town thea, and we will be pleased to have them come in and get acquainted with the new boss. Attention Is called tothe new advertisement, in to-day's issue, of Messrs. J. H. Derickson & Co. This firm will take all the first-class bolts that can be brought in, and pay the highest cash prices. The new Oil Exchange at Brad ford was dedicated last week, mid great pomp and splendor. Bradford now takes the leal of all the oil re gion towns. The post office is already ranked as third iu the State. The Sunday Derrick is becoming very popu!r willi our citiztus. A weekly review of the oil news and all matters of importance is contained in its sprightly pages, Which makes it a welcome Sunday morning visitor. We direct atttention to the new card of Mr. Cbas. liaisig, in to-day's paper. Mr. Raisig keeps a supply of fine dry lumber on hand, and being a first-class mechanic, guarantees per fect satisfaction in every instance. The plague iu Russia, known as the "Black Death," still rages to an alarming extent, and is spreading rap idly. Hundreds are dropping off daily, and whole .villiages are being burned to prevent its spread. The distress is horrible, and the late south ern scourge seems as nothing com pared to it. Judge Dale, while eating supper the other evening, through someunex- plaiuablo cause, got a pin in his throat, which might have caused him considerable trouble, had it not been for the timely assistance of Dr. Blaine, who brought it out in less time than it takes to tell it. Valentine day was a busy one among the juveniles, and indeed some who were not s juvenile. The many burst of laughtsr and wild shouts which rent the air around the post office1, showed that some poor cuss had been bit square in the mouth by some very dear (?) friend. Mr. Wm. II. Steffee, with whom most of our citizens are acquainted, was in town last week. His family lives iu Clarion, while he is traveling, as agent for a Philadelphia clothing house. He is the same odd "Bill," less about 75 or 80 pounds of adipoee matter which he usod to carry arooud whi.'e io tbil plae. SPRING ELECTION. The elections here yesterday passed off quietly, as usual, although there was considerable interest manifested. The greenbackers met on Saturday night and nominated a straight out ticket. The citizens held a caucus on Monday evening, and nominated a ticket irrespective of party. The fol lowing is the ticket as elected. Those marked thus () were run on the greenback ticket the others on the citizen's : Hurgem N N Foreman Councilman ( J H Hood North Ward I F K Mable (MO Davl ( M EinHtein Ward L Agnew South I J A Proper Hiyh Coimtahle l J Camriltel Constable J Campbell W A IliUnds Juttices of tho Peace J T Hrenmin 1 8 Knox Assessor John Reek AssiHtunt Assessors 1 H Knox Jl O Davis Overseers of the Poor A II Kelly John Rwk Judge of Kleetlnn Ferd.

Mr. Wheeler spent Sundaym towo, and in conversation with him he informed us that the bill imposing a tax on oil in some shape could not be averted, although they would fight it to the bitter end. He thinks the bill imposing a license on oil rigs, although reported favorably from the committee on Ways and Means, will be killed iu the . House. He has left with us a copy of each of these bills, which we cannot publish on account of their length, but nearly everybody knows about what their purport is. One is to put a tax of five cents on every barrel of oil now iu store, or hereafter produced in the State. The other infamous bill pro poses to lay a tax of $500 oa all rigs commenced on and alter the 11th, day of February, 1879. This latter bill be thinks they can prevent, however, those Allegheny salamanders, backed by the eastern blood-suckers will make a desperate fight for its passige. Mr Whteler thinks they will succeed with an Anti-Discrimination bill in the House, but says it is doubtful about the Senate. We see by a correspondence in the Brookville Republican that the good people of Clarington, this coun ty, have been fleeced and considerably taken in by a rogue representing him self as Dr. Pomeroy, r.f Sulphur Springs, N. Y. He camo there ac companied by his servant and put up at the hotel kept by "Sirs. Reed ; gave free oyster suppers, (at the landlady's expense,) and proposed to lecture on "phrenology," &c. He tried to con tract fur sixty thousand feet of lum her to build a hospital in Clariugton for his patients. He did business on credit and is said to have stolen the affections of a worthy widow and bought her house, which he had taken down to be replaced by a new one. He got in to trouble and skipped out, leaving his bills in Clarington unpaid and his servant without any money. He ap pears to have been one of those who devour widows' houses, and for a- pre tense make long prayers. . He prom ised to invest eight thousand dollars iu Clarington, but instead left there a demolished house, disappointed hopes, broken hearts, and uupaid boarding bills. At last we have the pleasure to record the fact that the Messrs. Grove of this place have struck it big. The well which they have been putting down near Bradford was finished last week, and commenced Cowing at a terrible rate blowing: the tubinarover fthe derrick. They have it under con trol now, and we are informed it is good for a 60 barrel spouter. We presume now that their luck has taken a turn, they will strike a good well wherever they sink iiole. And we wouldu't feel sorry ifthey did. A postal card from Hickory this morning co-jtaius the f'ollowiug : "The full citizens' ticket elected in Hickory twp. . The greenback ticket in the "banner greenback twp." nicely dress ed out. Hope you have beeu uble to do as well." i Tho rains during the foro part of last weok raised the water so that on Wednesday the ice broke in the creek. A large gorgo came down and lodged above the bridge, which backed the water up over the flats, and for some time it was feared that consider able dnmage would result, but the water finally got vent and fell away. At the Blue Narrows, four miles up the creek, it gorged aud piled the ice into the road rendering it unpayable, in which condition it will probably remain uutil thawed out. At the foot of Jug Handle, about 10 miles up the creek it also gorged, backing the water up and submerging tho entire flats. Ex-Treasurer Setley, who lives near the creok, was obliged to flee to the hills, the water having backed up into his house to the depth of over a foot. We understand that in this stuge it froze, and for a time he had a miuiature skating rink in his domi cile. The water has fallen away now, but the ice s'.iil reuiaius in the creek, and if it uuoui.i g out with a heavy rain it may create sad havoc among the lumbermen. It is hardly necessary fer us to remind the publio of th dance which is to take place at the Lawrence House next Friday evening, 21st inst., as it seems to be the Upic of conversation wherever you go, and from present iudications we think this party will he the best attended of any yet given. The Bupper which will be served on that evening will be nothing short of excellent, we will guarantee; and as to the music, it is enough to say thai McCrays band will furnish that. Don't miss the dauce if you want a glorious time. Jefferson County is organizing an Agricultural Society; a very commen dable step. It wouldn't bo a foolish idea for Forest county to begin to think about a society of this kind, as the time is coming when our citizens will have to turn their attention more to farming than they are at present doing, and then the need of au agri cultural society will be keenly felt, as there is nothing so conducive to the interest of the farmers as a first-class society of this character. Jane E. Weeden, who is recom mended by the Temperance Unions of Ohio, as one of the best temperance lecturers and workers in the State, will visit Tionesta about next Friday or Saturday, and would like to hold some Temperance Lectures if way opens in one of the churches, er some other convenient place. She will bring references from J. V. R. Hall of Titusville, Brother Shraeder of Plensantvillt, Rev. Bray of Tidioote, Rev. A. O. Stone of Tionesta, and others. Mr. D. A. Henderson is again the gentlemanly and popular salesman in Mr. H. Matson's Dry Goods estab lishment. His many friends will be glad of the opportunity to patronize, through him, the house in whese in terest he labors. Brookville Iiepublian. Dave's many friends in this vicin:ty are always glad to hear that be still prospers. A commuroication from Stewart's Run reached us yesterday, but, alas! the writer fails to send us his name, therefore, we must respectfully decline its publication. When will correspon dents unJcrglaml that I heir name must accompauy their ctl'i.i nn in order to insure the iierti n ti.ii .ul ? We mere ly want the name as u guarauteee of good faith, and not fir publication. A fiend named Wm. Tease at tempted the murder of two men naoied Swanson and Johnson, both Swedes, at a place known as the "Swtdisb Set tlement," near Kane, on the P. E. Road, last week. Johnson's wounds, it is thought, will prove fatal, while Swanson's are very critical. Ttase'a object was robbery. Ha now awaits trial in the McKean couoty jail. Mr. J. W. Jamiesou dropped in on us on Monday lust, looking well, and feeling confidcut that the Lord won't suffer the Legislature to put the proposed iniquitous tax on rigs built afttr the lllh inst. The wells of Dale & Jaraiedoa in Butler County are go ing about eight barrels, while their Bradford well is produciog thirty-five barrels per day. Messrs. Derickson Co., are etill receiving large uumbers of bolts. They lave already nearly five hundred cords piled ou the ground. By the time the new mill is ready to ruu they will have enough bolts to keep it going until late in the spriug, which will give, oar towa a livelitr kree'.- Messrs. J. II. Derickdon and Wm. Reck have each got hold of a fine bred cocker spaniel recently. This breed of dogs is No. 1 for birds, but what on earth Joe wants of a bird-dog we are at a loss to know, as be seems to have no taste whatever for hunting, but perhaps the possession of a good dog will create a taste. The addition to the Tionesta House which was formerly used as a billiard room, has been taken down and moved to Judge Propers' farm on Dutch Hill, where Mr. Sawyer is busi ly eagaged putting up in the shape of dwelling, with some addition. 'Spect Oliver will be getting married and move up there before long. A terrible boiler explosion oc curred at Bradford on Wednesday last, by which Peter Moore, and Brent McPherson were instantly killled, while Frank French was, perhaps, fatally injured. John Reynolds suf fered severe wounds in the neck aud head from splinters, but will recover. The cause of the explosion is attribu ted to low water. The Postmaster General issues the following notice: "Owing to the rapid increase in the mails and the estab lishment of new postoffices throughout the country, this department finds it necessary iu order to secure a rapid transmission of the heavy mails now passing, particularly over the trunk lines of railroads, to request the public that iu all cases the name of the county as well as the postoffice and State, be subscribed upou letters, newspapers and other matter forwar ded by mail." Newtown Jottings. Newtown Mills Pa., Feb., 19 1879. Ed. Republican: We are having a right good winter for lumbering, and if the sleighing remains as good as it is now, for a couple of weeks there will be a pretty good stock of logs at the mill. Mr. Dusenbury has secured the ser vices of Butler Rice, of Portville N, Y., to assist him iu the store, and as Mr. Rice is an experienced valesman, will fill his new position with success. Mr. Matthew Elliot recently caught a very large wild cat. It weighed 14 lbs. Coon. Paul has, by strict examina tion tnto his financial affairs, found means to resume, aud consequently is happy. Our district school will close in couple of weekg; the teacher, Miss Villa Painter, has managed the school in a very commendable way, and has won many friends, who will wish her success wherever her occupation calls her.
