Tho Independent Press, the former prohibition organ of Vonango County, has been bought by a stock compauy, aud will hereafter be run as an inde pendent Republican paper, with Mr. J. J. McLauren, the former sprightly reporter for the Derrick, as its editor. A bran Dew engine passed through town on Saturday last, destined for the stave .mill of Messrs. Jamiesoii & Copeland, on the Woods Heirs tract. This firm has quietly been turning out a large number of staves, and their old machinery has become insufficient to do their work. A New Orleans dispatch of, tho 15th inst., says: "The bark Sliepner arrived at passes yesterday from Rio in charge of its mate, w ho reports that during tho voyage the captain and second officer and a boy died of yellow fever. The vessel is now at quarantine." Wo hear of several .changes to tako place on the first of April. Tho timo i3 drawing near. The Free Methodist brctliern would have held their enmpmccting in this place last summer had it not been for tho small pox, which broke out about that time. Wo understand that an effort will be made to have it hear tho coming season, and we trust nothing will interfere ibis timo. Who of our sportsmen will make a move toward getting a barrel or two of class balls? 1 lie trap is still in good order and ought to be in use. Hie little practice last spring made wing-shots of quite a number of our itizens, besides it afforded consider! bio amusement for the boys. Who will crack the first ball ? By reference to the proper place in this issue it will be seen that the card of the Tionesta House has been chaDged. Mr. Jackson proposes to keep a first-class house, and invites lis many friends to give him a call when in town. Ho has gained a good reputation as a landlord, aud we hopo he may receive his share of public patronage. This has been a remarkably icalthy winter in this section. There has been probably le!s sickness in Forest county, and especially in Tio- iicsta than for many years past. But there is etill time left, and our citizens should exercise great caution during the spring months, they being consid ered the most productive of bad health of all the ether months in the.year. The grand jury of Jefferson county at the late term of court recommended tho orectiou of a county bridge across the Clarion at Cooksburg. We under stand this matter will be brought before the grand jury of this county at its next session. It is proposed that Clarion, Jefferson and Forest counties conjointly build the bridge, each county paying according to its assessed valuation. A fight to setth an old dispute attracted a crowd of nearly a hundred men at the creek bridge on Sunday last. Tho combatants, it is said, stood up and had it "off hand at twenty paces," neither, it seemed, cariDg to pet near cnousrh to cet huft. After striking and kicking at each othr for some time, they agreed to shake hands across -a mud-hole, and call all past differences "off." Mr. S. P. Wilson is th inking of buiTding a trout pond on Tubbs Run, providing he can get a lease of ground at a reasonable ficrure. There is not the slightest doubt but . that a pond, well kept would prove remunerative to its owner. Ihe site is an excellent ODe, and a very little work and ex pense would be necessary to build a first class pond. Mr. Wilson has had considerable experience with trout, and isjust the mu to take hold of it. Several of our Dutch Hill farm ers will erect new and substantial barns during the coming summer. Messrs. Adam Sippel, Geo. Matha, Jacob Smearbaugh and Ferd Wenlc, are all ready to commence as soon as the weather permits. It it encouraging to note that so many of our citizens are turning their attention to farming pur suits, aud wo predict that before many years Forest county will be ranked among the first farming counties of the State. Rowell of England carried of the champion belt in tho great interna tional pedestrian contest which has been going on in New York for some time. He made 500 miles in six days, his best time beiuz 110 miles in one day. O'Leary, who claims to have been drugged, left the track after he hud made something over ."00 miles. Ennis was next to Rowell, having made 475 miles: and Harrimao was third, his score being -150 milts. The gate money amounted to $51,000.

This makes eight fleets of boards and oua of timber. As each fleet of boards con tains about 300,000 feet it makes a total of about 2,400,000 feet. This is but a very small portion of the amount which ia yet to be rafted. There was none, whatever, run from above Bear Creek.

Gillespie, Teacher. --The Venango Citizen has this in formation, which it may bo well enough for our readers to know : "Just now there are a lot of scamps traveling through the country practicing a new swindling dodge on rural residents. Their mode of procedure is something as followj : A person representing himself as a United States dtective calls upon his man, telling him ho has a warrant fof his arrest for some vio latiou of tho revenue laws. He pro duces a nanct which ho says is the A " warrant, but which he refuses to let his victim icad. He then says he does not want to make any trouble, and will settlo the matter on the pay mentofa given sum. 'By this time tho victim is pretty thoroughly fright ened, and our bogus detective gets what loose money he may have about him and departs." A charter has been obtained for the Bradford extension of the Fox burg road. The new road will be called the Foxburg, Kan & Bradford railroad. It was' organized by the election of tho followiug board of di rectors : James Blakslee, II. M. Mc Cray, A. W. Smiley, J. V. Ritts, J. M Guffey, E. M. Grant aud F. II. Ball. The extension will be pushed through from Shippenville to Kane, and, it is thought, will cross the Clarion river near Cooksburg, passing through tho eastern portion of this county. The parties who have tho project in hand are men of uieana and energy, and it will not be long ere Forest County will have another railroad running through her territory. -The 4Gth Congress met in extra session yesterday, and Randall, Dem ocrat, was re elected Speaker.

We were led to believe from thotremendu ous howl which has been kept up for pomo timo past about "balauce of pow er," &c, that the greenbackers were going to accomplish something, that they were going to organize the 4G h Congress, and "raise Ned" generally; but then this is only another illustra tion of their braggardisra.

Mr. Aaron Elliott, of Newtown Mills Pa., has lately been making a tour of soma parts of '.his county can vassing for the Remington Sewing Machine. Considering tho stringency of the times ho has had very good success. He had one of theso machines in town the other day, and we had an opportunity to look at it, and can pro nounce it a marvel of beauty and sim plicity. Any one in need of a machine can not do better than consult Mr. JOlliott; he sells the Remington at less thati half the usual price, and guaran tees satisfaction in every instance, The machine neods ouly to be seen to be appreciated. Morris, the Tailor in Oil City, has just received his spring stock cf wollen goods, which ha will make up cheaper than any Tailor in the Oil Regions. Come and leave your order tor a suit. Opposite the Post Office, Sycamore St. 50 5t. There has been much argument about the effects ot the development of oil, ns proving destructive to fish, in the oil regions?. ... Certain it is that Oil Creek and l'ithole have almost ccasod to contain fish of any note, there being nothing but somo kinds of chubs of tho sucker species in those creeks. Bass, sunfish, salmon and fih of that class having becomo almost a story of the past iu those streams. A zreat chango has also occurred in Tionesta Creek as regards fish. The waters of that creek being fed by mountain springs were formerly uncom monly clear, and pike were very numerous; but of late years there are but very few of them. Nine saw mills have contributed some to cor rupt the waters, and render them unin viting to pike, pickerel and salmon; but the worst thing is tho tanneries, the refuse of which, consisting of acids and extracts from tho barks used in tanning, have fearfully contaminated that stream. In Jury and August in particular, when the waters are low it looks like a river of poor quality of ink, and the fish of former days have rapidly disappeared. A bill, I under stand, is pending to Etop tho polution of streams, which appears to be pretty general over tho whole country. Damti, also, prevent their migration. In the river there is not so much change ; yet an observer will notice that the kind of fish differ each year. About four years ago there was a great influx of spoon-fish, of which large quantities were secured. Later scarcely any of this species was to bo found The sucker has been called tho "Alle gheny Shad." They always appear when the ice breaks up, and seem par ticularly plenty at the time of a "sucker flood," which is a flood unfit for raft ing but ii understood to do goou enough to bring up these kind of "shad." Fishfng for "red-house" aud run-sucker is more liko business than any thing you can imagine, as they are no game fish, but are caught by setting rods with lines, with three and four hooks, and with heavj plum bob's, the fisher going in for quantity rather than quality. They come up in shoals or schools, and it is hard to make a failure if you bait enough, or "salt" a hole with old cheeae and meal two or three days before you want to fish. Bass are with us most always, but the quantities differ in different years very noticeably. We' havo really three or 'four species of them. It h wonderful what qnautitie3 of fish thrco or four persons often take out at one fishing. It seems as ii three or four can always do more execution than the same number can seperately. What is the philosophy of this? as it is against the law to fish with a seine, and the law says you canoDly fish with hook and line, it is truly marvelous. Z. Last Saturday night within n few moments of the timo for closing up for tho night, it terrible accident, occurred at E. E. James stave mill. Mr. Win. Morris, who was running the shinglo mill, attempted to clear tho box under tho saw of sawdu.'t. The saw caught his shirt sleeve, drawing hii loft hand against the saw and culling tho hand completely in two, diagonally, from about the middle of the little finger to' the wrist joint. Drs. Shugcrt and Kenible wcro called, and took tho hand completely off. unjoin! ing it at the wrist. Mr. Morris suffers trrribly on account of the infUmalion in his arm, but the doctors think that w:!fi usuul good luck, they can bring hi nl through all right. Tidioute Xaw.
