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

"John" may now stay and "washee,

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.
