Wonder if tho Indians ever get after him ovtr there T. C.x; CI S. .On Thursday -morning last some of our citizens were considerably alarmed on going out and finding the above mysterious letters, encircled by a rough drawing of a coffin, upon their oors, nn.l whou it was learnod that the same signs were found in various places through town, the excitement and scare became quite general. The anxiety kept up during tho day, and at night the people-were on tho look out for something terrible to occur, thinking it was the work of tramps, who were about to burn the town. The night passed quietly, however, and Friday morning the citizens awoke very much relieved to find that noth ing strango or heinous had taken place. There was still considerable speculation as to what the signs meant, but when the Fored National came out tho whole matter was explained, it being very easy for any one with "half an eye" to discover where the matter originated. It contained a full ac count of the affair, illustrating the article with a coflin gouged out on the back of an old stereotype, with the letters arranged in about the same order as those scrawled on tho build ings. Tho cut is a good representation of the chalk marks; or rather, the chalk marks were good representations of the cut, for it was made first, and the marks were fashioned after the cut, and not the cut after tho marks. You sec the way-it all happened was this: The very f'ertile(?) braiu of "ye editor" of the National conceived the idea of giving the people of Tionesta a great scare, create a sensation, have an item for his paper, and at the same time advertise his cough syrup. In order to iW this he makes a cut of a coffin; then he puts on the initials, T. C. X C. S., which are interpreted, "Take Cuburn'a Cough Syrup;'' (the X is to represent the tross-boucs), the coffin, of course means that' you will need one immediately after taking the syrup. After the cut h?s been made to suit him, be seuas his "devil put with a piece of blue chalk to do the marking on the buildings, giving him a list of those he wants marked. The "worthy Doctor," we understand, put the letters on himself, and they resem ble his hand writing very closely. No doubt the Doctor thiiTks this an excellent joke ou the citizens of Tio nrsta, and it may be, but just where the particular brilliancy or wit iu conceiving and carryiog out such a "joke" lies we are at a great loss to know. A man might go to his neigh bor's house after night and write on his door, "I will burn yuur house!" and call that a "joke," but he would no aoubt have trouble iu making the neighbor believe it; besides ho might get the peualty of the law meted out to him. But, we think the Doctor is excusable in this instance, as he wanted merely to advertise his cough syrup, and took this method of setting forth the true effects which it would produce on the individual who was. so unfortunate as to get a dose of it'. "Curt," Shawkey's explanation, we think is the correct one: "Take Coburn'a Cough Syrup, and you will fill a Consumptive's Coflin !" e are inclined to think, Doc, there are others in town who will save you tho trouble of "ferreting out this mystery," aud when they do it will probably amount to more than a mere "expose" in a newspaper. The thiuest thing in the whole busi ness is the wiuding-up ot'the National's article, which says : "Since going to press, we think wo have discovered a clue to the above mysterious- affair." Discovering a thing after going to press, and telling about tho discovery in the same issue is an accomplishment few editors can boast of. Doc, we think you had better lay by the quill for a while. You are making alto gether too rapid piogress in the edito rial harness. In answer to your query : "Have wo an organized baud of house-burners and thieves in our midst?" wo will Bay no; but we have a couple of damphools iu town who will be taught a lesson some day that may make thera sicker than a dose of your cough syrup, if such a thing is possi ble. When you go to a church and wish to conform w ith tho rules and forms of worship of that church, you have tho privilege of doing eo; in fact, you show your good breeding in doing so; but when you kneel don't take advantage of your position aud gawk all around the church to see what is going on, particularly if you are a I member f the ohuiv'u. It may be of interest to our rea ders to learn that the proposed law to iucreasc the bounty on gamo destroy ing animals and birds of prey, was received by Mr. Wheellor, our mem ber of the Legislature a long time ago. And notwithstanding tho petitions wcro sigued by a largo sharo of tho tax-payers of tho county, thus showing the actual desjro of the people for the passago of the act, tho bill, as fur as we cau learn, is still iu Mr. Wheeler's coat-tail pocket, and the probability is that it will remain there or go into the wnsto basket. Mr. Whcller could have presented the bill several weeks ago, had ho so desired. Evidently he dons not want the bill to pas3. Mr. Wheeler has the leputation of being close around the pocket, when the tax collector conies around ; and it is barely possible, that if this bill should becomo a law our Honorable represen tative might have to pay a dollar or t t ..... 71 r, tf. .r, nrtirtil.if I I.

It is sad to contemplate how far that man Coburn will go to get an item fur his sheet. Marking people's buildings in tho way ho did, aud laying himself liable to the law, might be overlooked, becauco ho duin t know any better; but when he comes right out in a square-toed, bare-faced false- hood, for no other purpose, that we car conceive of, but to have something to put in his paper, wo think it inex- cusable. He knows very well that Mr. Wheeler had the bill presented to the committee as soon as he received the petitions, and it was n ported favorably from that committee on the 7th iust., which fact was published in our paper two weeks ago. The pack- ago containing the petitions was held at tho Ilarrisburg Post-office a couple of days for insufficient postage, and this is all the delay tho bill has suffered 6iuce it left this place. We make this explanation fur fear some one not acquainted with the editor of the National might be mislead by his statements ; those who know him know that it is p irt of his business to manu facture these misstatements. It ill- becomes a man of the Doctor s stripe to try to bring into disregard such a man as Hon. N. P. Wheeler. The Derrick in an article on the nrnnnsed extension to Bradford of the St. Petersburg road, has this to say of .1 t... u ing the next oil field. The Derrick is the authority on matters relating to oil developments "There is one qucstiou of importance which should bo taken'into considera tion in urging the building of a road. We may confidently rely on the mass of oil business remaining to the north of us for many years. The northern limit of the Bradford field has been reached, and tho developments have set southward. It ia generally ex pected by all operators that the belt of oil will carry the operations south ward through Forest county, and this expectation in the face of the present, outlooks seems probable of becoming a reality. In such a case the proposed railroad would place Oil City in close couuection with all such developments for mauy years to come, and give it the great business advantages to bo derived from such a location. If our citizens have any regard for the future of this city, let them at onco push through this connection, either by themselves, or by inducing the pro- jectors of the Bradford extension to aid them." With this issue, tho Fomcsx Re publican enters upon its twelfth year. We don't propose to make any prom ises for the future, but. will, by close application and hard work, endeavor to give our subscribers a readable paper, and we have no doubt our efforts will be appreciated. We have already gaiucd quite a number of uew subscribers, and are steadily increas ing our list, and we think before the present volume is ended we shall have nearly if not quito doubled it. We hope our friends, and especially tho Republicans of this county, will take hold aud aid us iu our endeavors as much as possible, and w e shall try and cive theiu a paper of which we trust thev will havo no cause to feel ashamed.
