Mabie, nro nt work settling up tho accounts ot the borough for the year 1878. To-day Is tho anniversary af the surrender of Lee. The event was duly celebrated in this place, at tho time, and will bo remembered by nearly every citizen of Tionesta. Miss Minuio McCurdy, who has been engaged teaching school in this county during tho winter, departed on Monday for her home iu Cooperstown, Venango Co. The Edcnburg Dully Herald has suspended, hereafter a weekly will be issued from that office. The poor IicrIiu of the editor is the principle cause of this important change. A letter fry.m Whig Hill reached us th's morning, and we are sorry to nay it was to late for insertion. Hope our correspondents will try and get their communications in a little earlier. A veritable worm Doctor was in town last week, and from the amount of slippery elm bark used by some of the denizens of tho town ve judge some of our people are a little "wormy." Prof. Walker has broken up housekeeping and has shipped his goo'ds to Brookvillc, his former place' of abode. Tho Professor will leave for that place with his family cs soon as his school closes. Prepare yourselves to digest the tisual amount of,hard-boiled eggs next Sunday.

Mr. II. is a first-class barber, and we hope our cit izens will extend to him their patron age, and thus encourage him to stay. We understand that Mr. Pat; Joyce lias purchased the unfinished building just abovo Mr. Ilichards res idence, and will completo it as soon as the weather will permit. Pat. is one of our best citizens, and wo are glad to learn ho has concluded to become a property owner in cur town. Mr. A. N.

I larva's many friends will be agreeably surpiised to learn of his having lately taken unto him self a wife, which important event took placo in January last. You and yours Lave our heartiest congratula tions, Harvey, and may your journey through lifo bo ever pleasant aud prosperous. W are every day moro and more convinced that Forert county isppeed ily to bo developed ns au oil territory, which it undoubtedly is. Tlire is more inquiry fur leases e.vcry day by a clas of men who seem to mean busi ness not to speculate in oil leases, merely, but men who want to devel ops The low price of oil for (ho laet two or three years has been tho main cause of tho neglect of our county; coupled with tho flou risking condition of tho Clarion and Bradford oil fields. That it will rival, if not surpass those fields in the near future, we do not doubt ; it is only a question of a short time. Alreudy the oil men of the lower districts nre looking how the lands lies here ; they see we aro cen trally located, and no mistake. Wo had a conversation with Mr. Geo. M. Kepler of Butler Co., who is a man of many years experience, and who is looking at this county with the idea of putting down a few wells at an early date, provided he can obtain leases at fair rates. He expresses himself well pleased with the certain prospects of Forest county in the jlirection of oil in the near future. But there are many who will try it in this section this season, if our information is cor rect. The Grandin Bros., of Tidfoute will, without doubt, continue testing the Salmon creek region; aud the Woodland Oil Co., under tho able management of A. B. Ilowland, Esq., will probably develop some this sea son, as well nj Dr. Towler, Dr. Sham burgh, Kepler & Co., and many others. It needs no prophet to say that oil de velopments of a successful naturo are upon us, and we expect to chronicle many strikes iu Forest during the sea son. ' The following is taken from a Bradford correspondence to the Der rick. Tho Jack Stroup mentioned i3 John Wcs. Stroup, with whom aeaily all cf our citizens are acquainted: "This morning at nine o'clock a wager was made by W. J. Tozet, of this city, that Jack Stroup of Tarport, could not walk from tho oil exchange crossing to Sawyer City, a distance of three miles and a half, in thirty-five minutes. The challenge was accepted and Jark started off . at a high rate pressure, tvo men on horseback accom panying him to see that ho did uotget a lift from some train, or use wiugs on the journey. Reaching Tarport a mile from Bradford like the traveler in -Esop, hothrew his coat and hat and increased his speed. He made the trip iuside the thirty-five minutes, with fifteen seconds to spare. The starting was witnessed by hundreds of citizens in thii city, all of whom expressed as much anxiety in the result as if the presidency of 1880 depended upon it." All the borough officers elected at the spring elections, except school directors, were sworn in on Monday. The new list as it now stands is as follows: Burgess, N. S. Foreman; Councilmen, North ward, J. S. Hood, F. E. Mabie, II. O. Davis; South ward, M. Einstein, L. Agnew, J. A. Proper; High Constable, S. J. Cambcll; Constable, W. A.IIilanda; Assessor, John Reck; Assistant As sessors, D. S. Knox, II. O. Davis; Overseers of the Poor, John Reck, A. B. Kelly; Auditors, J. T. Bren nan, F. E. Mabie, P. M. Clark. With such men as these at the helm our borough affairs will be carefully looked after. Stewarts' Run is excited over some cases of severe fever which- have occured during the past wiutcr. A young mau in Mr. Vandalin's family came from Bradford with the fever aud died ; also his brother evi dently from infectious from first cae. Then all members of the family had the fever iu succession, and now a Mrs. Hotchkiss, who does the washing for the family, has tho disease. From her physician we learn it is nearer a typhus than typhoid fever. Her life is dispaired of by the physicians. It seems to be contagious, and is proper ly causing alarm among the people on account of its communicability. Mr. P. C. Button last week re moved his family to West Almond, N. Y., where he has been stopping for sometime. Mrs. Button has been in very poor health for some timo past, and the change may prove beneficial to her, which her friends will bo glad to learu, although they are sorry to lose the family as neighbors.

Wc did stala last week that we were through with the jV'i('o;ia"tlfing," aid that we would havo no moro to soy to him regarding his infamous piece of Molly Maguirism; but wo didn't say that w couldn't have any moro tn say. However, wo would have 1st it drop there, had ho been smart enough to have let well enough alone. But when ho becomes so utterly devoid of all decency, honor, and common manhood as to lie his very soul to per dition, as he has iu his last issue, and expect ua honest man to keep his mouth shut about it, he shows to the public that he is a much bigger fool, if possible, than liar. It is true what we stated about his boy "letting the cat out of the bag," however we merely threw that out to bait him, and the poor devil gulped it down like a hungry hound, lie thought that was the only information we had of his piece of deviltry, and as he could whip the boy into submission, all he had to do va to add more stain to his character by villainously lying himself out of it. We might have overlooked all this evej, but when ho challenges us and drfies us to prove our assertions correct, there is but one alternative, and that is to furnish the proof. We wish simply to quote one little sentence, which appears in his last article, and let our readers and tbe public judge for themselves who is the liar: "We emphatically deny the truth of his charges, and we have as yet found no positive proof who did the dirty work." And now we give him the proof which he seems to be so anxious to have us furnish, and how he ia going to lie himself out now is beyond our compre hension. Read the following: TiojfissTA Pa., April 5, 1879. Ed. Republican-: Thcic having been considerable agitation among our citi zens, and particularly between the uewspaners of this place as to who did the marking of people's buildings on the night of March 19th 1879, and having a full knowledge of the entire affair, I wish to state that W. C. Co burn, editor of the "Forest National," made the "Coffin Cut," (which ap peared iu bia paper of March 21st iotv,j previous id mo nigni on wnien the marking was done; that two shingles were made, coffin-shaped, around which tlio marks were made on the buildiugs ; That W. C. Coburn made one of thy shingles ; that he (Co bum) gave the young man whom he has in his employ as printer, a list of the buildings which he wauted marked iu the lower end of town, on the night in question; that I put the maiks on Cuburn's own office door, and calling his attention to it, he pronotiDced it a good job. And lastly, that W. C. Co burn had full 'knowledge of tho entire affair from beginning to end. C. M. Siiaw key. It would be just like tho illustrious liar to now open his batteries on Mr. Shawkey, but we would advi3o him not to. He was warned by Mr. Shaw key not to deny the charge, but ho did not heed tho warning, and so the young man deemed it his duty to come out aud make a clean brest of the matter, and ho has shown his manhood iu doing so. If the worthy pill-peddler knows when he is well off he w ill have uothing to say about Mr. Shawkey's course in this matter, as the young man knows of certain other schemes which he proposed to perpetrate on tho innocent people of Tionesta, pro vided this one worked to suit him. Wonder if this stultified cur thinks now that we have "not a particle of proof to sustain our chprges." Dutch Hill Notes. Dutch Hill, April 5, 1879. Ed. Republican : Again we have sleighing, which make our farmers lmng their lowor lips like a motherless colt iu a penny-royal pasture, as some of them are about out ot feed ; if winter hangs on much longer there will bo plenty of poor beef lying around. We noticed a couple ofT. D. Collins teams pass over the hill moving some of his men over to Fox creek. By the way, wo were over there about a week ago and should judge by the amount of snow there, that they could take a sleigh ride the fourth of July. We will try and let the readers of your paper hear from this part of the county quite often this summer, and perhaps from other parts, as we expect to travel as an agent, and of course will see every body, and perhaps more. Jack. If you want a pet feet and hand-snmcly-finished picture, call on Frank Bobbins, wln in Oil City. 3-lt. Letter from Hon. N. P. Whuelu.-. H Anp.isnri:t Pa., April 5, 1879. Ed. Republican: It being represented to me that some of our citizens are do sirous I should support tho "Pittsburgh Riot Bill," I have thought it might be best to define my position, with some of the reusons. The bill, in substaue :, provides for the appointment of three commissioners by the Governor to de termine and settle the amount of the loss caused by the Railroad Riots of 1877 throughout tho State, and appro priating $4,000,000 for its payment. Also, that any county made liable fur losses by riots should pav 25 per cent of the losses. In our State, Philadel phia Co., iu 184 1 and Allegheny Co., in 1849, by petition of her priucipal business citizens, which petitions are still preserved, were made liable by special law. .In all other counties the loss from riots failing to be recovered from those destroying the property would fall upon the individual losers. Neither of these counties desire to havo the law repealed. In several States counties are made liable for los3 by riots. In other States, cllles Aud towns, but never the State. Tho reason is plain:. Establish the precedent that losses will be paid by the State aud '.here is no inducement for those living where the riot occurs to attempt to quell it in the beginning, when it can generally be controlled. Make the State liable and you place a premium on crime, for no one would risk life or limb to prevent the destruction of properly then. Now where does the responsibility of these riot damages rest ? Judge Agnew, Representative Faunce, and other eminent authority claim the county of Allegheny is not liable. It is more certain the State is not. The destruction fell mainly upon the R. R. Co. We are aSked out of sympathy for Allegheny .county to help the county a little, ana the Penn'a Rail Road Co., a great deal. This same coiporation, which had for years so discriminated against Pittsburgh that when her trouble came she had n friends there to help protect her property. I havo opposed and do oppose estab lishing such a dangerouj precedent, and giving $2,000,000 or 83,000,000 to a soulless corporation, which still refuses to accept the provisions of tho New Constitution. When she does accept these provisions, which would require her to go far toward carrying out the very anti discrimination that we so much need, it will then bo ample time to confess judgment in her favor. In doing jo I have believed that I was truly representing the wishes of my constituents. N. P. Wjieelek. Or . The rafts which' started from this place last week, were caught in tho storm at Oil City, and were compelled to tie up. After the storm had abated the water had fallen so that ii was im possible for them to get away. The men have nearly all returned loaving the rafts about tweuty in number, tied up in the eddy at that place. There being about 300 raftsmen in Oil City at one time, it gave tho placo quite a lively appearance while they staid. Miss Lilly Ililands, with whom nearly all our Tionesta citizens are ac quainted, was married, April 2d, to Mr. W. 11. James, of Frcdonia, N. Y. Mr. James, wo understand, is a very estimable gentleman, aud Miss Lilly's many friends in this place will be pleased to congratulate her, and hear of her complete happiness in lifo. The young couple expect to take up their abode in the West shortly. May suc cess attend them. We might have known that the Derrick-, with its usual enterprise, would come out with the first big tiout story of the seasoc. Last week it told a snake story which knocked the noise out of anything that might be said about snakes in the future, and now it conies to tho front with a well it tells about a man having caught a trout which measured twenty inches in length, and weighed seveu pounds I that's all.
