It., will be found corrected in to day's paper. There is a roan in Tionesta too confounded lazy to keep tally for a game of quoits. A now fence ha? been built around tho M. E. Church lot. It is a very substantial one. The National Hotel, Tidioute did the boss busines on show day, feeding upward of 300 persons. Tho fizz and sputter of the soda fountain has not yet been heard in our midst. It's about time. The wife of Wm. Cowman, of Newmansville, Pa., died of consump tion on Monday morning last.

Asa- Packer, one of the richest and beet known men in the State died at Maunch Chunk on Saturday last. Mr, Packet will be remembered as the Democratic candidate against Gov Geary in 18G9. Mr. Robert Shriver, who resides in the southeastern portion ofTionesta township, has moved into his new houEO, recently built. Itob. is one of Forest county's best citizens, and we are glad to know that bo is thriving. The stave mill has been shut down fur some time, owing to a lack of ma terial to work on. There must be upwards of a thousand cords of wood piled ou the common around the mill It will no doubt find ready sale this summer. I lie rains last week were a "won derful blessing. Thoy had the effect to start vegetation of all kinds, put out the forest f.rcs, and give our lumber men a email "skipper flood." The spearing was also spoiled for awhile, which is not considered so much of blessing by our sports. Read in to-days paper tho new advertisement of L. Simon, dealer in Ready-Made Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gents Furnishing Goods, Tidioute Fa. Mr. Simon is selling ofl'his largo stock of goods, aud is going to leave the place, consequently he is ofleriugsome immense bargains. He cordially in vites the people of Forest county to call and examine his goods and prices The Republican County Com mittee met at the oflice of tho Chair man, E. L. Davis Esq., on Monday evening last, pursuant to call. We were not handed a copy ot the pro ceedings, and can at present only give the time set for holding the primary elections, which is the last Saturday in June, being the 28th day of the month. We will probably publish a call by the chairman for the Primaries next week. We have frequently heard that toads buried in the ground would live nine years, but never more than half believed it until we were told a etory by Tom. Ilassey, which runs thiiBly : Over three years ago he wii9 building a fence, wh n a toad came hopping along, and Tom, having heard how in terment tended to the longevity of a toad, concluded to try it, and accord ingly dropped him into one of the post holes, aud carefully covored him up. A short time ago, while tearing up the feuce, tho thought of digging up his toad occurred to him. He did so, and to his astonishment found the toad alive, aud apparently in good health and spirits. NO OIL TAX. IlAitRiflncno Pa., May 20, 79. Ed. RnruM.iCAN : Oil tax finally killed. Thirty-seven to ninety-nine. in". P. Wiieklkr. We aro sorry to announce the departure of Mrs. Mabie's family, who take up their abodo in the city of Eric, whero they hare purchased, and will hereafter conduct the Commercial Hotel. They have lived so long in Tionesta, that they will be very much missed by our citizens. Frank, who left on Salurduy lant, has always been a great favorite with all who chanced to make his acquaintance, and he leaves behind a host of friends who will never cease to remember him, and rejoice at his success in life. Harry will bo particularly missed by the young ladies, however; we don't pro pose, in this connection, to mention any names. Mrs. Mabio's many lady friends will always heartily welcome her whenever she may pay them a visit. May they all prosper and be abundantly happy. A party consisting of nine per sons aud a dog, the family of Isaac Johnson, passed through town Mon day, in a sort of "Prairie Schooner," on their way to Lycoming county, Pa. Thirteen years ago Mr. Johnston moved to Iowa from the aforesaid county, for the purpose of making his fortune by farming, but after this long term of years he concluded that his home in Pennsylvania was "just as good a thing as he wautod," aud ac cordingly, on the first day of last April he packed up and started, making the eDtire trip with his team. He says they e.veraged about 25 miles a day. Tho Odd Fellows of this place have, we understand, in contempla tion the erection of a large building during the summer, for the use of the Lodge, and for other purposes. Tho dimensions of the building are to be about 30 x 80 ; the first story to be made a store-room ; the second into offices, and the third into a lodge- room. They have already a good bid for the first story, and the offices win be taken as soon as finished. The pro ject is a good one, and tho building would undoubtedly pay for itself in a fchorl time in rents. We hope to see the building finished before snow flies. Last Friday Andrew Wellercame to town with the fiuest lot of trout we have seen for many years. Iu one jar he had GOO, which, according to his story, he and his two sons, Abe and John, caught ou the branch ofSalmon creek, in one day. The other jar con tained 350, weighed 19 pounds, and were all caught out of Salmon creek, on Thursday last by himsclfand John. This makes a total of 950 trout in two days, and if any party beats it we Ehould be very giad to hear from them, but we doubt if it can be done. Andy took Ihem to Oil City, but how well he sold them we did not learn. The celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Coburri'a crystal wedding, on last Thursday evening was a very pleasant occasion. The guests assembled rather late in the evening, - but as most all stayed until the wee sma' hours, it made up for what time was lost in getting there. Dancing was the prin cipal amusement of the evening, and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The refreshments were very nice, and rel ished by all. The presents were nu merous, varied, useful and ornameii tal. Altogether the event was very enjoyable, aud will long be remem bered by many who were present. Two weeks ago Mr. A. n. Darrah took his child, a bright little girl about five years old, whose feet were badly deformed, to Pittsburgh and placed her under tho treatment of Drs. Dixon, who performed the operation of straightening the feet. The child is now under tho care of Dr. Blaiae, of this place, who gives it as his opinion that the operation will prove anontire success, and that iu a short time the little girl will be able to plod about with as perfect limbs at any one. The parents, as a natural consequence, are very happy. Owners of dilapidated side-walks have been notified by the boro coun cil that they must "fix-up," or build new ones when repairing is impracti cable, within ten days of notification, else the same will be done by the bor ough, at an additional cost to the said owner of 20 per cent. This will prob ably have the desired effect. We notioo already that work has com menced iu some portions of town. Again wo would remind our citi zens that Decoration Day draws nigh, and as yet there is no move making toward a fitting observance of tlio oc casion. Wo wish again to urge our people to mako an effort in that di rection. It is the duty of every true American to see that this ceremony be preserved in all its beauty and sim plicity. Let s then not allow the day to pass without a proper observ ance of these beautiful and touching ritca to the memory of our country's dead. Court, this week, amounted to nothing,. so to speak. They met on Monday afternoon, read tho Argument List, swore the Constables, of whom there were seven present, and took their returns. Licenses were granted to Wm. Lawrence and Jno. Wood cock, for hotel, and to Wm. Toy for eating-house. Chas. Bonner was ap pointed Borough Auditor. A charter was granted to Tionesta Lodge, I. O. of O. F. The adjourned term was fixed for tho Friday before the first Monday of September terra, 1879. The following from the pen of J. P. W'ckersham, State Superintend ent, is a very wise suggestion, and should receive the careful considera tion of County Superintendents all over tho fltate : "The signs of the times indicate the application of largely increased num bers of persons for teacher's certificates during the current year. They will come to the examinations possessing all degrees of qualification for the work of teaching, very good, good, fair, poor, and very poor. The pur pose of this article is to request super intendents to adopt at their examina tions such a standard of qualifications as will shut out all applicants except about enough to supply the Echoolc In this way the schoola will be pro- tected fron the rush of incompetent teachers, the teacheis' profession will be strsngthened and elevated, and the educational interests of the public will be greatly subserved. The threatened evil is a swarm of incompetents in our school rooms at very low salaries. If not checked, it will drive the best teachers out of the profession and greatly decrease the tfiiciencj of our schools. The men to guard the school interests thus jeopardized are the su perinteodents. It is their duty to do it without fear or favor." Nebraska Notes. Nebraska, Pa., May 20, 1879. Cowslip greens are all the rage ! The lumbermen are preparing for a flood, but as yet have been disappoin ted. Mr. Fred. C. Laoy departed for Pittsburgh this morning to be absent soiuctimo. They are building a new house at the mill. Mr. Sim Metzgar has moved into the house lately occupied by James Stroup. Mr. Ed. Chase, who moved from here several weeks ago, has located in Miles Grove, Erie county, where ha is working with his brother, F. M. Chase, who does a largo business in carriage painting, and job work for the Lake Shore R. R. Mr. Lyman Cook caught 25 trout Saturday, which is the largest number caught by any citizen of Lcytown this season. Early in the spring, while honest men are working, some idler from a distance comes and spends day or two, fishing all the small streams around, marches oil with a hundred or woro fine trout, add the sport for that year is over. Mr. Morgan to-day landed his first load of freight from Tionesta by boat. We believe tho load consisted of oar stems. Sartoras. To School Directors. Tionesta, Pa., May 19, 1879. It will be important to have your Annual District Reports sent in at the earliast date possible. The State ap propriation has been greatly delayed this year; some of the townships haye not yt received their quota. A like delay may occur next year. There aro 2187 districts in the State, and as the appropriation is paid in the order iu which the reports aro received, it is important to be at tho head of the list. If you can hold your meetings the first Monday of June, aud send in your reports at once, your townships will be in position to receive the ad vantage of your promptness. Very Respectfully, II. S. Bkockway, Co. Hupt. of Schools. The Fox Bounty Bill. Alas for our fox bounty bill. As will be seen by tho following letter from Mr. Wheeler, there is no hope for it. Our only hope is in the general bill which ho speaks of, and we trust it will be reached ere this session comes to a close : Harristjurcj, May 1G, 1879 J. D. Huongs and Lewis Arner Esqs., Gentlemen: Yesterday the Gover nor returned with his veto "A Bill placing a bounty on foxes, hawks and owls, in Snyder county," as regulating the affairs of counties contrary to tho provisions of the constitution. This Bill passed before the constitutional question was raised in the House, and being vetoed there is no uso trying to do anything further with the BiK you sent, as it involves the tamo question. There i3 a general Bill on our files on the subject, but so far dowu on the calender we are not likely to reach it this session. Yours &c, N. P. Wheeler. Newtown Mills Pa., May '20, 1879. I am informed that parties repre senting the Singer Sewing Machine, are canvassing portions of this county, and trying to injure the reputation of the Remington Sewing Machine; telling that it is an old "played-out" machine, with no improvements since its first introduction, etc. Now, where the Remington is known, this foolish talk would be harmless, but in locali ties whero it has not been introduced it might create falso impressions, which I should like to correct. The Remington Sewing Machine is a first class standard machiue, and keeps up with all the improvements. There have been two very important im provements since I commenced selling it. One is iu threading tho needle, and the other is in winding the bob bins; which i3 done without running the machine. I havo sold about 12 of these machines in this county within the past year, and the parties to w hom I sold are allacquainted with the Singer, and most of the other machines on the market, aud they all pronounce the Remington the best iu every par ticular. In selling I always make this offer: You give the Remington a trial, ard if you are not satisfied that it is a better machine thau the Singer, I will refuud the money any tioie within six months, and they are all satisfied. Respectfully, Aaron Elliott. Wanted, by Robinson fc Bonner 20,000 pounds ool, for which the highest market price will be paid. Goods sold at the lowest possible cash price. 9 4t.

New' Word 3 Whilemany words once iu common use are now nearly obsolete, few per sons are aware how large a number of new words are constantly coming into our language.'; The Supplement of tho new edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, recently i.-sucil, contains among other attractive features, an addition of over 4G00 New Words and Meanings, and yet it is but a few years since a general revision was made aud great caro taken to insert all the word3 then properly Jjelonging to tho English Language. Where these words come from and what they are, is a surprise to persons who have not examined them. That they have not been hastily compiled is cvideuced by tho accuracy of aud careful study given to their etymology and defini tions. MARRIED. ELLIOTT CLARK.
