The committee appointed to organ- izo & Lady Aiismonary COcicty in this plact, of which we made mention layt week, will meet at the Presbyter inn Church on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A cordial invitation Is ex tended to all tfio Indies of Tionesta to be present. Hot. T. D. Camahan oi Oil City will preach In the evening. Communion services will be held at tha church on Sunday morning. Also, the usual prcacYiug io the evening. Kev. Jtr. Stone has requested his church here to ' observe Thursday, of this week, as a day of Fasting aud Prayer iot the conversion of souls, lie invites all Christiana to unite with them in this scrvrcc. Exercises to be gin in the M...E. Church at 10 o'clock a. m All are invited. M. K. Sunday School at 10 o'clock a. m., and Presbyterian Sunday School at 3 o'clock p. rn. The grceabackers are all dead in a horn. Why just hear tham 'blow.' Mr. Bonner, of Stoneboro, spent a few days in town the fore part of the week. -Wolves are said to be so numer ous in Clearfield county, that it's dan gerous to be eafe ihere. A few ducks have been seen in the river above here. It is not out of season to kill this game now. An Indiana countj Greenback orutor hft8gonecraiy. Ex. We have the first one see who xeatnt crazy. The skating rinks at Tidioutoand Warren lire in a flourishing condition, and are netting the owners handsome profits. The new Post Office on Dutch Hill, of which our old friend Wm. Heath is the worthy P. M. is called the Star P. O. Warren talks very strongly of building a railroad to Bradford. From the list of names at. the head of. the project we don't see how it can fail. The skating on the Back Channel has bceu excellent for several days past, and has been improved by the ''rkativo" portion of the community. The little lamb Marched in on the first inst., ana has remained very quiet and peaceable since. Now let 8 see what Mr. Liou is going to do about it. A ladies kid glove was feund and broueht to this office. Tha owner cau have it by calling and paying charges, which can be better agreed upon when we hav learned her age. A sled-load of houf-ehold goods, three men, two Newfoundland dogs and a pup pasted through town ou Sunday last ; and the pup was the best looking one in the lot. A switch sufficient to accommo date about one car is being built below Dawson's station. We believe the company U going to take out some railroad timber at that place. Tho protracted effort at the M. E. Church is brightening up. Several have signified their intention to live better in tho future by embracing the faith. May the good work go ona Charlie Bonner is instructing a class how to ' shoot" in German, and we understood the? are progressing nicely. We expect to hear a great deal of German gibberish before long. Mr.' P. M. Clark has a very haad sorae gray fox, which was captured by Billy Wilson, about threo mileiupthe creek. It is at the Rural House, and is well worth going there to see. L The Iron City College whole ad vertisement appears in another column is the odIv, institution in the United States exclusively devoted to toe prac tical education of young men. Alexauder Greenwood, the won derful one-legged hurdle-rider, who was here last summer with Hilliard & Huntings circus, pasted through last week. He looked just like any ordin ary person. A. piece of iron fell striking Pat. Joyce on the head, while working on the stave mill, one day last week, in Aiding quite a severe cut, and giv ing Pat. the headache for the rest of the afternoon. We earnestly request our friends throughout the country to send the local nws of their respective localities. Interesting happiugs of all kinds will be gladly received-. It is immaterial whether or not you feel competent to write it up in proper shape, send us the facts, and we will "set 'em up" in proper maimer. Always give ud your name as a guarantee of good faith. Mr. Doult, Is at present' engaged painting and groining Mr. J. I. Baugo's house, at Stewart' Bun. Several interesting communica tions wjjl be found in .to day's pnper. Our correspondent- at Harrisburg promises to lay or us with regular let ters' while. the Legislature is in eess- Mr. Geo. Kribbs, father of the editor of the Clarion Democrat, died at his residence, in Beaver City, Clar ion Co., on the. 2:3d ult., at tho ad vanced ace of 74 ycais. He was a highly respected citizen. "Where shall wo rest?" asks a re ligious weekly. To which one of our exchanges answers, "My dear sir, tho vsry best place to find rest and plenty of it is to become n clerk in a dry goods store that doesn't advertise." A calico parly is talked of by some of our young folks. The last "hop" of ibis description was a very pleasant and enjoyable affair, and by all means don t let the matter drop, bnt let us have the "calico."- Representative Wheeler has again placed us under obligations for a copy of the iState Treasurer's Annual and Detailed Reports, for the year 1878. Wo have not had time to look it over yet, but will peruse it at our leisure. Petitions anywhere from thirty to forty feet long are daily pouring into Harrisburg praying the Legislature to revive the Local Option law, aud it appears that the measure is gaining in popularity among tho lawmakers. Mr. W. A. Hilands, our newly elected Constable has been appointed deputy' by Sheriff Randall. He has not been sworn in as Constable yet, but when he is we warn all evil-doers to sUnd aloof. Davy will give good satisfaction. The bill to restrict the immigia tion of Chinese into the United States, which Congress passed recently, was vetoed by the President on the 1st inst. "John" may now stay and "washee, wasliee, alle samce, Melican nianee cheapce." Since winter set in we hate hardly picked up a paper but that has had some account of coasting ac cidents. Tho winter is about over now, and we are glad to say we have not had a local of this kind to chroni cle. Morris, the Tailor in Oil City, has iust received his spring stock of woilen goods, which h will make up cheaper than any Tailor in the Oil Regions. Come and leave your order for a suit. Opposite the Post Office, Sycamore St. 50 5t. Tho boilers of the new stave mill have been set in shape, on! the other machinery is about all iu order. Tho hum and buzz will soon enliven the monotony of our town. Over 500 cords of bolts which are on, the ground will keep the mill running till late iu the spring. By reference to another column it will be seen that the auditors of Harmony township, wishing to avoid any embarrassment that a neglect to publish might bring upun them, have sent in their report. Hope the other townships will be prompt about send ing in their statement. Many of our subscribers were in during last week and paid their sub scriptions a year in advauce, and in doing so assured us of their sympathy and best wishes for our success. We thank you, gentleman, for these words of encouragement, and hope to proye ourselves worthy of your much appre ciated patrouage. The Bradford Era has swallowed the Breeze, and the whole concern has been bought by W. II. Locgwell and F. II. Taylor, both of the Derrick. The Era will now have full sway in the northern oil fields, aud with the energy and ability of the above gen tlcmen at the helm it conuot but prove a success. Our subscribers will see, by con sulting the labels on their papers that they have been changed, and all marked up to the first of January '79, from which time we will collect the subscriptions. Mr. Dunn will collect all up to that date. Those which were paid in advance have not been changed and wilt be filled out by us. It had hitherto escaped us that Mr. W. R. Reck had moved to Strat taa ville, Clarion county, to take charge of the extensive lumber mills of Ru loffson & Co. We are very sorry to lose so good a citizen as Mr. Reck, but trust that he may do well in his new field. Wm., we will miss you in the hunt next fall. The work of taking tho ice out of Lacytowu poud is going on at present, Mr. J.F. Overlander having tho job. The lumbermen being fearful lesttiicro should come a sudden flood and "clean them out," are taking the method of averting it. The work is being done by torpedoes, which are shoved under the ice and touched off. This breaks it up fine, and while doing so, kills innumerable numbers of suckers. A gentleman informs us that after one of these blasts had been made t'te creek "was alive with dead lish, which sup pliod the whole neighborhood with a mess. Mr. Ittcl, who has a large num ber of logs piled on the bank near Jug Handle, on the opposite side, says that gorge still remains there perfectly solid. He says if we don't have sufficient warm weather to melt or rot the ice before a heavy rain comes, it will clean the banks from that place to the mouth of the creek. The Foxburg & St. Petersburg Railroad Company has purchased the Emlentou, Shippenville & Clarion road, and the roads will hereafter be run by the former company. We un derstand that the line will soon be ex tended through Forest county to Mc Keau, $50,000 of the $100,000 re quired having been subscribed by Mrs. Mary Fox, and the remainder will probably be taken by Philadel phia parties who are interested in oil aud lumber lands lying between Clariou and McKcan counties. If the project is put through, of which there is little doubt now, the roa'd will prob ably run through'the eastern portion of this county, which will be a great benefit and relief to the citizens in that sectiont Besides it will undoubt edly open up a new market in the Bradford oil regions for our lumber. This has been a most severe win ter on small game in this section. There has not been a day pince about the middle of December that the pheasants could get any food except the buds of trees. Quails, of which there were a few flocks seen last fall, are probably all destroyed ; either for want of foodj of by vermin, such as foxes, cwls and hawks. Rabbits have no doubt fedffered from the same cause. Kjfow if the forest fifes arc Bet agoing in the rizht time next summer to de stroy the nests of pheasants the slaugh ter of our small game will bo com plete. It begins to look now as though a new court house and jail will be erected during tho coming summet. We understand the commissioners expect to visit Warren, Tionesta, Clarion and Brookville the early part of next month, for the purpose of taking observations of the public buildings located iu those places, prep aratory to agreeing on a plan lr the proposed new public buildings for Elk county. Ell: Democrat. If you want a perfect model by which to build your court house by all means come to Forest county. We think our public buildings lay over anything of the kind in seventeen counties. The citizens of Whig Hill are going to have a new M. E. Church forthwith. . Messrs. C. F. Gillespie and Eli Berlin let a contract to Mr. G. W. Sawyer, on Saturday last, who iso have it completed about the first of July. I he building is to be silua ted in a grove, near Mr. Gillespie's house, which has heretofore been used for a pic-nic ground. A nice church has long been needed at that pla:e, aud we congratulate our Whig Hill friends on the decided steps which they have taken in the matter. The Lawrence House has again changed hands, Mr. Lawrence having assumed the management. Cupt Knox, the retiring landlord, has made a good reputation, and will be missed by those who have stopped with him. The entire management of the hotel, and particularly the table lias received many praise by its patrons within the last year. Mr. Lawrenco's reputation as a landlord, is fully established in this section, aud he needs no recou mendation from us. The following complimentary notice of our former citizen, Mr. Greaves, we take from the Warren Mail : Mr. Greaves has on exhibition at Wyman's the portrait of Mr. Logan's boy, who died last Summer. It is a capital likeness. Mr. Logon and family are much pleased with it and think Mr. Greaves deserving of much praise for his skill in making such a faithful picture under such difficulties. Of course it U very highly prize'. On Saturday about noon, as Mr. Chas. Hill was on hU way home from town, he discovered co'isiderable raoke issuing from a place where A. Mong's house stood. Urging his team, he was soon iu sight, and was very much sur prised to find that tho house wa3 nearly burned to the ground. He went dowu to the place, but was to late to render any assistance in the way of saving goods. On his way to town a couple of hours previous, he saw nothing wrong about the premises, and there were no signs of fire. The house is situated about three miles up tho river, on this side, and at the time of the fire there was no one at home except Mr. Mong's son, a boy about 14 years old, Mrs. Monjr and her sister having left a short time before, and were on their way to town. The boy succeed ed in saving nothing but a bureau and a few bed-clothes. It is thought the fire originated from n defective flue. NEILLTOWN. Neilltown, Pa., Mar. 3, '79. Ed. Repurlican' : On last Friday eve ning our usually quiet little town pre sented a degree of activity such as is sel dora seen here. It was the evening of the regular meeting of our Debating Society, and as the sleighing was good visitors came iu from all sections. Scarcely had the sun gone below the horizon when a couple sleds contain ing members of both sexes of our sis ter society at Stewarts Run drove iuto town with flying streamers, and stop ped at Maj. Woodcock's Hotel, of which the Major is the efficient and popular landlord. . Au hour or so later the triefry tink ling of bells was heard, and yonr cor lespoudent, on going to the door was agreeably surprised at seeing two sled loads of young folks from Tionesta. Properly speaking they were noi.aled loads, for there were only two couples besides the driver in each sled, whereas either sled would have, held all with eveiy nece3sary comfort. Perhaps they had their reasons for coming so. But most surprising of all. to me, was the maimer in which they drove into town. The first load evidently con tained the pious, for they sat erect add sufficiently far apart to pcrtult the cold wind to sweep uninterrupted be neath the robes; and, moreover, were proppod up by means of hemlock bark and cullings of stave bolts, which they undoubtedly slipped into their sled from the numerous piles on the road. The other I almost refrain from mak ing mention but as a just co-respondent "truth" shall be rny motto: By the glimmer of tho moon I could see the robes neatly spread out and was about to ask the driver where he had left his load, when a smothered voice asked: "Where re we now?" "Neill town," cried the driver, There was a slight shaking of robes and four hith erto concealed persons arose and as a second one remarked, "Now where are we?'' passed quickly into the hotel. At the proper time all repaired to the school house where the discussion was to take place. The meeting was called to order by Prof. J. E. Hillard. Mr. Bowman: wa3 elected President pro tern, when, after the appointing of three judges, tho following question was read : ''lletolved, that the warrior is more benefit to his country than the statesman." Considerable prelimina ry discussion then took place between the debaters who had been previously chosen, as to whether tho question should be debated in its broadest sense or should have a definite limit ; that is w hether or not Webster's definitions for warrior and statesman should bo accepted in their various divisions. It was finally decided to take it the broad w ay. The remarks on both sides were to the point, showing ou the part of some considerable preparation and study. Tho discussion lasted two honrs and I say with u feeling opride that from beginning to end not a de bater persisted iu the use of acrimony. The judges, Messrs. R. L. Haslet and Chas. Bonner of Tionesta, and Lacy of Stewarts Run, decided simply according to the merits of the argument, in favor of the negative. X. i BANIV ear Always tho Best.
