Postmaster McKay had an attack of sickness last week which came very nearly fetching him. He is a great deal better now, which will be good news to his many friends. These are splendid coon days, but we don't hear of many having as yet been caught. It is customary for these chaps to come out on bright spring days and bask in the sun. The Leadville tuauis has struck this place, and several of "the boys" are talking of making a break for there. The "break" wjtjl be easier made on the "home stretch." Mr. D. V.

He was convicted of mur dcr in the first degree, but has not yet received his sentence. We received a communication from Stewarts Ilun, which will be found in another column.

Mr. W. II. Dunn departed on Mou day last for Brack en ridge, Minnesota, where he expects to start a paper as soon as ho can look over the field and perfect arrangements. Mr. Dunn come to Tionesta a little over eleven years ago, with Col. Ilcisinger, who started The lice, which was afterward changod to I ho Fouest IIepubucan. When the paper changed hands he became its editor, but after a short lime he gave up the position and went west. He remained in the west a little over a year, and was then prevailed upon to return to this place aud renew his connection with the Republican, which he did in October 1870. In 1873 ie bought the cilice and started out for himsolf, and with a very few excep- , .hich all newspaper men must encounter, he has had the good wilf of all who had any dealings with him. Having been connected with him more or less ever since his residence in Tio nesta, and having had a great roauy dealings with him, we know whereot we speak when we say that a more honorable, square-dealing, and uprig'it gentleman can not be found anywhere. In Mr. Dunu's departure Tionesta loses ouo of her very best citizens, and the town of Breckenridge gains one of whom it may be proud, and we cheer fully recommend him to the generous patronage of its inhabitants. And now, Will, may you ever nourish and prosper "like the Green Bay Tree." Mrs. Dunn and little daughter, Louise, will remain in Tionesta uutil Mr. Dunn gets permanently settled. The Committee appointed by the Presbyterial Society of Clarion, con sisting of Rev. T. D. Carnahau, Mrs. Dr. McCullough and Mrs. D. H.Boul toti, of South Oil City, met at tho Prefcbyteriaa Church according to announccnent, on Friday afternoon, and organized a Ladies Foreign Miss ionary Society. Ihe officers elected were as follows : President, Mrs. A. W. Conver ; Vice Presidents, Mrs. J II. Diugman and Mrs, G. G. Butter field; Secretary, Mrs. A. B. Kelly; Corresponding Sec'y, Miss May Sloan ; Treasurer, Mrs. P. D. Thomas. A meeting will be held this (Wednes day) evening, and it is hopod there will be a goodly "number present. The icn having gone out of tho creek considerable rafting was done yester day. Root & Watson brought out four or five pieces, with which they had a little bad luck. At Coon Creek dam one piece broke in two and got away. Thi'ec platforms of it were caught at the mouth of the creek, but two went out into the river and are probably lost; the remainder of their rafts, although somewhat ra'cked were landed here safely. Jas. Haggerty succeed in getting out all right with six or eight pieces. His reasons for running on this flood was to make room in the pond at Lacytowo. There seems to be an impression in some pnits of the county that the bill prohibiting the running at large of cattle, hogs etc., of which we made mention some time ago, was presented and urged by Mr. Wheeler. This is a mistake. He did not present it, nor was he in favor of it. When the bill came up, Mr. Wheeler knew that it would be a matter of considerable importance to Forest county, and so ho sent a copy of it here merely for inspection. The bill has been defeat ed, which will dispel all anxiety in the matter. W. E. Lathy Esq., sold his books and office furniture and has gone to Kansas, where he expects to carry ou the legal profession. We believe he has no objective point in view as yet, but thinks he will settle somewhere near Kansas City. Mr. Lathy has long been identified with the profession in this county, and his friends will re gret to hear of his departure, and will be pleased to hear of his success in life. Of Mr. L.'s legal abilities there is no question, and we wish he may prosper. The river is "booming" high, overflowing her banks ou all sides. Hunter's Island is entirely submerged, and so is a gooJ portion of the low ground on River St. Notwithstanding all this, we believe there has been no damage done, and as the water is fall ing some, there is not likely to be. Considering the amount of water a mere thaw has made it's a blessed fine thiug for this neck o' woods that the snow didn't go ofl'with rain, as it would doubtless have made things lively in the extreme. a A good suit of Imported goods well made aud trimmed for $25.00 by Morris, tho Tailor, Oil City Pa. o0:f. Mr. Will Cornwell spent a few days in town this week. Mr. Corn- well is the partner of Mr. D. F. Rob inson in the mercantile and lumber business, at Water Cure, epposite Bea ver, on the Ohio river. He reports Dave in good health and spirits, and as fond of the ladies as ever, but not yet ready to marry. Mr. C. is a very pleasant gentleman, and if Dave gets as agreeable a partner to help him in his domestic affairs as ho has in his business, he cannot be otherwise than happy. Mr. Peter Berry will, as soon as he can get his materials on the ground, test the BalltowH well which has been lying dormant for some time. This well flowed considerable oil at one time, but for reasons best known to to the operators, was never fully test ed. If the well shows up pretty fair a number of others will be put down during the summer; and if the pro posed now railroad to Bradford goes through, that territory will be right on the belt. Last week it was found upon ex imination that the heavy chaius with which the booms in tho mouth of the creek were coupled together had been snapped off by the pressure of the ice as if they had been so much twine. The chains are ma do of about three- quartet-inch iron. After this dicov cry was made there was lively work done to get the ice cut away from the booms in order to save them. None were lost. John Kcil in Conewango, has been doing some business in skunks tho past winter. Ho is said to have killed a skunk, from which he got two quarts of oil, which he sold for 60 per quart, and the skin of winch he sold for SI. 50, making total receipts for one skunk $13.50. It was certainly a healthy skunk. We are determined not to bo beat by our Chautauqua neighbors. Warren Ledger. Pretty strong story that. Sheriff Williams of Armstrong county, who was convicted and sen ' need to the penitentiary a short time since ou account of irregularity iu securing his election, has given bail in the sum of five thousand dollars, and his case will be argued before the Supreme Court on a writ of error in October next. In the meantime he will coutinue to perform the duties of his office. Congress having ueglected to pass the required appropriation bills, the President has called an extra session of the 46th Congress, which will meet on the 18tb, inst. It is thought that Speaker Randall will have to take a back seat ; in fact it looks very much as though the Republicans will have the making of the net Speaker of the House. Mr. T. B. Cobb has our thanks for copies of Texas and Colorado pa pers. The "Weatheiford, Exponent,' printed at Weatherford, Texas, the terminus of Tom Scott's Texas Pacific road, is a well patrouized paper. It is interesting to get hold of a froutier paper occasionally. They are so differ euf. from tho eastern style of make up We are clad to welcome Mr. S J. Wolcott and family back to town They arrived lat week, and moved into the old homestead. We hope that Mr. W. will now conclude to make Tionesta his permanent home Mr. Z. T. Shriver, we understand also talks of coming hero to live. Come along Zach. Mr. M. L. Range was in town last week, and not feeling satisfied with taking a copy of our paper himself, had us send one to a friend in Kansas, Capt. Clark, also, wanted another copy Both are gentlemen of excellent taste which is amply displayed in this in stance. Now that the snow has disappeared from the side-walks and the broken boards and yawning mantraps present themselves to the gaz3 of the pedes trian, it might be a good idea to slip in a plank occasionally, until such time as the weather permits of better repairs. Maple sugar lime is upon us. The citizens of the eastern portion of the county areabout the only ones that reap any benefit from this source iu this section. Remember that old sugar boiled over counts the same as new. Morris, the Tailor in Oil City, has just received his spring stock of wollen goods, which he will make up cheaper than any Tailor in the Oil Regions. Coma and leave your order lor a suit. Opposite the Post OHico, Sycamore St. 50 5t. Tionesta 16 Bradford. The Derrick has hit tho nail fquare on the head at last. There has been much talk and some active steps taken, within the past few days, both in Ti tusville aud Warren, regarding the building of a narrow gauge railroad to Bradford. Prominent men in both these places all agree that a road from the lower oil country direct to Brad ford would be a big paying institution, but, knowing tlip.t it takes cash to carry a scheme of this kind through, they seem a little backward about taking holJ and rushing it on. The Derrick of Monday has an article which will be read with interest by our citizens, and we would say tothein to give the project all possible encour agement, as the benefits which our county would derive from it may be very plainly seen. After showing that the narrow guage roads which have been built through the oil regions have proven most successful invest ments, the Derrick says : "There is a chance at present for the people of Oil (Sty, and that diancc lies in favoring tho building of a road from Tionesta to Bradford. There are many reasons why the former place should bo one terminns of tho road. Oue is that it would make the shortest possible route, from the lower oil country to the upper, which is one of the principal purposes for building such a road. It would also open up the extensive mining ami lumber ter ritory of Forest county, bringing to Oil City the products of this now un known country. Tho travel and trade, so long as Bradford lasts, will be prin cipally between Oil City and that point, even that from the lower oil country passing through hero. As it is now people are obliged to travel nearly 150 miles, a loss cf timo and money, which makes the trip very expensive. With the railroad from Tiauesta, or from Oil City to Brad ford, over ouc-half the distance would be cut off, Oil City is only sixty miles from Bradford iu alraight line, and Tionesta only forty five. The exten sion of the Erie road would make a good connection, so that the building of only forty miles of road would prob ably be necessary. We might also mention here that there is a piobabil ity of the oil belt extending south west aloug the proposed route of the Bew road, and it would therefore be "on hund" when new fields were opened. This is really the only sensible route for a road to the northern1" oil fields. Travelers do not wish to go around by Warren or Titusville to get there, and the road would draw the entire busi ness of tho oil country to and fro. Capitalists who want a good invest ment for their money could not do better than look into this scheme, for with the precedents iu the life of other narrow-guages, this road could not be other than a paying institution." Bounties on Foxes, etc. Mr. Huliugs bauds us a letter from Hon. N. P. Wheeler in rogard to the bounty on foxes, owls, hawks etc. As bills must be acted upon in their reg ular order, and this being rather late getting in it may not be reached this session. Below is the letter : Hakiusbuko, March 7, 1879. Miss. J. D. Hulixgs and Lewis Akneu : Gents : Your letter with petitions etc., praying for additional bounties ou foxes, owls aud hawks, received : The Bill waa favorably pre sented from committee to-day, and aside from being 60 far down on the calendar, stands fair prospects of be coming a law. The package was held at tho Post Office a number of days for deficient postage, and a line sent me that it was there. Mail, when fully prepaid, conies directly to the capitol.

IlErrfci.icAN : Having been a mem ber of the Stewart's Run Liter ary Society for over thre6 months, aud seeing no abatement in the interest that has been manifested freni tho bo ginning, I feel it a duty to bestow a few words of prauo upon those among us who have b"ceu 6 assiduous in' their labors. Starting out, as wo did, with Tittle or no help and tho words r "Mutua Improvement" for our motto,' and "Good Humor" as our standpoint, we have moved along until we havo gained the spmpathy, interest and co operation of the Hurronndfn Commu nity. We will begin with our first officer. They, together with oar editors, gained the highest respect of all by the able and unbiased manner in which they performed their several duties. The second set, having had the benefit of the experience of their worthy prede cessors, took hold with a will that made things tell. Our brave editors came forth with a paper that has never been surpassed by any editorial staff on record, aud passed from their office with due honor. Then came thethirdr term officers and a better selection could not havo been made. They perforni2d their respective duties witlr a will, and edited a paper both sound' aud spicy, aud never failed to notice all interesting local matters with nrv editor's scrutinizing eye and ability. Whilst we are writing about our soci ety we shall leave out the present term' and turn to sociability, the one grand result of our meetings. Oue improve ment closely follows another aud during the last three months there has? been a degree of sociability existing in our neighborhood such as was never before known here. The confidence aud affection that has been manifested towards one another is beyond ex pression. To do ample justice to our singers 1 can not but say the selections' were invariaWy of the best and most! appropriate. Tho gentleman of Neill town and Carsouvillo v'siled us on several occasions and favored us with' several eloquent speeches. Also, Mr. Chas.
