' Two of Mr. Djrickson's sisters, of Mcadville, hato been visiting him during tho pnst .week. Ono of Ctco. Hunter's horses died Inst week. It was a valuable animal, and quite a loss to Mr. II. A. II. Steele Esq., of Titusville, paid us a call last Thursday. He was well, and reports his family likewise. Tho school house at Holemati Flats has junt received a couple coats of paint, at the hands of Mr. Doutt. The Carson brothers, Jim. and Taylor.'are finishing a house belonging to Bob. McCloskey, beyond Tylers burg. Tho Hunter will case has been put ofl' until October, and will be tried in Erie county, instead of Forest as wo had it iu last week's issue. The report of Prof. Walker's term of school will be found in to-day's i-suo. TLoso three directors who viaited the school ought to have a chromo. Fred. Ilyren, better known as the Old Prophet, will never more be seen on our streets, lie died in the Craw ford 'county poor house on the 2Gth of March. The Free Methodist Camp meet ing, which will commence in this place on the 9th of July, promises, froki present indication?, to be well atten ded, and a success. Quite a large raft of boards, which ias been stuck in the river near Mr. Jamieson's is being "skip pered" off. We did not learu who the lumber belongs to. Mr. James Carson moved Ms family into the Dale homestead, on Council run, ono day ht.t week. Jim has now about the moat comfortable dwelling place in town. Wo received an interesting letter this morning form W. F. Jones Esq., who is at present located near the great Ciandin Farm, Dakota. We will publish it ia our next. Several gomes of base ball have been playeft, within the past few days, on Dust in Islancl. It would be an easy matter to organize a rousing club, if tsome one would take th ioitiativo step. -At thp recent meeting of the Re publican County Committee Mr. L. Agnfc'v wa3 chr.ten Representative Delegate to the Republican State Con vention. "Wo believe he was not in structed. We blush to mention it, but it is nevertheless true that not the first sign of any prcperations have bt-eu made to appropriately celebrate Dec oration Day in this place, which comes on Friday next. The greeubnekers had a committee meeting last Friday afternoon and chose the 5th nf July ns their day for nominating candidates. It is not probable that their nominations will have any political significance. Tho Democratic County Com mittee met. one evening last week and appointed the first Saturday in August as the day for holding tho Democratic primaries. Dr. Blaine was elected Representative Delegate to tho State Convention. Jim Blaek returned one day last week from-a rather extended trip dowu the Ohio river, wherp, ia company with Bruce Crawford he has been assisting Jairus and Frank Reek to peddle out their lumber. When Jim left, Bruce enjoined him in par ticular not to allow any of his friends to announce hi3 name for oflice, for he "didn't think he would bo back in time to run." The Venango Oilizen comes to us this wet-k looking as fresh as a daisy. It has been treated to a new head, and bran new dress throughout, and is now the handsomest paper published ij Venango county. The Citizen has always been one of the most welcome exchanges on our list, and it does our oul good to note this evidence of well minted prosperity. The local page, presided over by our old friend Frank Smiley, never lacks fur news and spice. Tho members of tho Catholic Church in this section, havo made ar rangements for holding services in this place once a month. Iheir meetings will bo held iu the Universalis! Church, which they Lavo rented for the purpose. Mr. II. Morris, Merchant Tailor, of Oil City, will be in town to-morrow, (Thursday) with a large line of sam ples of clothiug. Mr. Morris is a first class Tailor in every respect, UDd any ono in need of a soit of clothes' cannot do bettor than give him their patron age. No exhorbitant rates, and a perfect fit guaranteed. A gontleman who has given the subject considerable attention, hand? us the following: "At the Central House an advertisement reads : 'Culm bacher Beer.' This i3 a dark colored beer, quite invigorating aud potent. The word has puzzled several of our philologists; but one of them who thinks himself cute, says it is a beer that will come (go) back on you; but, notwithstanding his definition, says it means if you try it you will 'culm bach' for more." A couplo of young men brought into our otlice, the other morning a long, sleuder paste-board box, which they said they found on tho street, containing some sort of a new fangled arrangement, which our innate mod esty prevents us from mentioning, an exact representation of which, however, can be found in tho fifth column and fourth page of this paper ; just below the advertisement of the New York Sun. The owner can have it by calling at our sanctum. Oflice hours from 8 to 9, p. in. Only four weeks more in which to announce a.? candidates for office at the Republican primaries. Our col umns are open to anybody who has tho requisite amount of "wherewith," and hope our friends will be prompt in tli is matter if they have serious intentions.- We have yet no candidates for District Attorney, Coroner, or Surveyor, all of which offices tire to be filled the coming election. Don't bo backward, gentlemen ; our terms aro remarkably reasonable, but strictly cash in advance. A letter in to-day's paper from Mr. Dunn, telling about some of his fishing expeditions in Minnesota, will bo read with interest by his many friends and former patrons iu this sec tion. SnakeB and ginger-bread 1 Think of itl Oue hundred and twenty three bass iu one afternoon 1 It fairly makes us lonesome to think of it. What a sporttmeu's Paradise that must be. Mr. Dunn's letters will always bo eagerly sought after by his friends here, and we hope to hear from bim often. A valuable ram belonging to Mr. Kelly, which cost him $75, died on Saturday last. It was the finest spec imen of sheep ever brought to this county. Sheep-iaisiug is becoming quite an industry iu Forest county, aod wo have reason to btlieve that before maDy years our county will rank with any of tho larger oouuties of the State in this particular. Capt. Clark informs us that he took a fleece which weighed eleveu pounds from a yearliug lamb; and from another a nine pound fleece was takon, which is bard to beat anywhere. The lambs were twins. Iho closing exercises of our borough schools took place on Wednes day afternoon last. A programmo embracing dialogues, declamations, essays etc., had been arranged and we understand the scholars w ho took part acquited themselves quite well, espec ially the little folks. Both teacher left on Thursday last for their re spective homes, bearing with them the good wishes of our citizens. Prof. Walker, by his gentlemanly and cul tured manners, und straightforward course won the esteem of all who made his acquaintance ; his scholars all liked him, and we havo every reason to believe that ho did his utmost to advance and improve the school. We had hoped that ho would settle hero, and become a permanent citizen among us, but as brighter fields seemed to present themselves to his vision ho concluded to go, and we hope his greatest expectations may be realized. Mrs. Etta M. Wood, who had charge of the primary department, made many friends ia Tionesta who were loth to seo her depart from their midst. A lady of refiueruont and culture, she left a warm impression in the hearts of her many acquaintances, by whom sho will always be kindly remembered. Tho body of John Blair, Mis. D. Andrews brother, whoso drowning in tho Clarion river we made mention of some time ago, was found, accord ing to the Clarion papers, a long ways below tho place where he is supposed to have fallen in. The body being too much decomposed to move, was buried near where it was found. Zip Guiton and Ed. Hunter visi ted their rattlesnake den yesterday, but, as Zip said, it was a poor day for snakes, and so they only got four, which would average about 3 feet each. This deu is situated ou the top of tho hill just back of tho depot, aud Zip says the first good da' that comes he'll give us a snake story that's worth telling. Some big sawing was done at the May & Kelly mill, yesterday, which is superintended by Wm. Richards. They started out in the morning to see what they could do. In three hours they had sawed 13,500 feet of boards, when something about tho engine gave out, and they were obliged to shut down. They are at it again to-day, and the result of their days work will appear in our next. Letter from W. R. Dunn tsq. Fergus Falls, Mlsn., May 20, 79. Mr. J. E. Wesk, Dear Sir : I shall not in this short epistle attempt to give you a description of t'lis grand and glorious countrj, uor to enumerate its tfiany present and prospective advau tagss. Sufik'o it to say that if a man has health, "sand," and a small capi tal, there is nothing to prevent his becoming "solid," iu the course of a few years. If any capitalist can come here and view the land, and look over tho natural advantages of this country without investing his loose cash, ho will ree things through different eyes from those parties who are flocking in here from all quarters. In two words I will tell you what is the matter with Fergus Falls: We hava one of tho best and most capacious Water powers here, and for some miles above and below this poiut, that ever I saw ; the laud is all or nearly all good, and is peculiarly adapted to raising the best wheat grown in the Union ; moreover a railroad is under construction which will probably reach. here early in the fall, oflbrding us direct communica tion with Minneppolis and St. Paul. But I didn't start out to write an emigration document, but merely to tell you and your numerous aud rap idly iucreasing list of subscribers of a little fishing scrape I assisted in last week, which I am afraid will look largo to you, but which can be vouched for by several Fergusonians. On Thursday morning last, a party of four of us loaded up a boat in a lumber wagon, und went out to Jewelt Lake, a beautiful sheet of water lying about eight miles north of this place. Launching our boat, three of us let out trolling lines while one rowed. The day was windy aud the rowing was tho hardest kind of manual luhor, but by dint of steady fiihing until about 6 o'clock p. m., we managed to secure eighteen black bass, which would average perhaps 3 pounds apiece. We left the boat locked to a stub, and us the sky bad tho appearance of rain, we hurried to hitch up and get home. In tho bustle, I left my two rigs, a spoon-hook, a double-bitted concern, presented me by Jas. II. Ilulings, oue giveu me by Mr. Richards, of Cincinnati ; a long lino denoted by O. W. Robinson, and the braided liue which you will prob ably remember, having used it. I felt that it would hot bo treating my friends well to lose their parting gilts, so on Friday morning I hitched up Capt. Coniptou's horse and buggy, uud putting in the oars, which we had brought home with us, and a lunch, I prevailed upon a gentleman named Crego, to accompany mo iu search of my lost tackle. We arrived at the lake at about 11:30 a. m., and I found tho lines at once. Unhitching aud tying the horse, we jumped into the boat aud let out a line. Rowing about half a mile, we succeeded iu catching three good sized bass, the largest weighing perhaps six pounds. Comiug iu we fed tho horse aud ate our lunch. Looking at my watch I found it was nearly 1 o'clock. The day previous wo had tried fishing iu a smull bay, where tho fulling was said to bo good, but ou account of tho high wind wo .were obliged to abandou it and row to ti e other side of tho lake. To this bay, therefore wo rowed, aud luckily found it comparatively smooth. No 6oouer had wo struck the bay than the trouble commenced. I hauled in three bass in about the time it would take to tell it. From this on we pulled in a bass every few minutes, and in a short time the bottom of tho boat was covered with bassdead, because wo killed them as fast as we took them, by runing a kifo into the spine just back of tho head. About 4 o'dock, the sky looking threatening, wo pulled in, thinking that we had enough fish for ourselves and all our dear fivo hundred friends. Lauding, wo 6trung our fish, twenty at a time and carrying them up a little hill, loaded them in the buggy. Each string made a good load for both of us. We found that wo had seventy bass. Now, you will be inclined to remark that we had enough fish for any two creatures who didn't have bristles between their shoulders; but, you sec, tradition had it that a party of four or five, a few years ago, had brought iu eighty-odd bnss as tho result of one afternoon's. fishing. The same thought occupied both our breasts : "Let's bsat the biggest catch on record 1" Now nothing; but the excitement of beating the best would have tempted us back, as it wa3 sprinkling slightly by this time, and promised a good rain. But our blood was up aud back we went. Now Crego is not a very heavy built mau, and fearful that tho strain of pulling in the fish would be too much for him, I let him row, while I did the fishing. The fish were evidently glad to bco us back again, and more hungry for spoon victuals. Hardly would tho spoon begin to revolve until "jerk" she went, the lino straightened out, and in four seconds that fish was a corpse with an orifice in the back of his neck, where his life went out. Several times the spoon was actually takeu bcfoie it commenced to revolve ! But why dwell? Suffice to say it was altogether the most exciting, and the most prolific sport I ever tumbled to. . We rowed back to tho landing, reaching there a littlo before seven o'clock, and countcd an.d stowed our fish. WTe had caught one hundred and twenty three bass, four of which wo threw back because they didn't weigh quite a pound apiece. We must have had thee hundred pounds of fish. Arrived at home, wet and tired, we had quite a time peddling out our fish, "without money and without price." Nearly everybody had fish for breakfast ou Saturday morning. I took revenge on a couple of small ones, and must say that they were by all odds the finest bass I ever tasted. With the Ilulings spoon and the Robinson line we lauded G7 of these fish. I remark this so that these friends will know that their presents were well bestowed. Game of all kinds is plentiful here. I sigh, however for my dear littlo "Parker," as I often havo occasion to reflect how sho was one of the salt of the earth a treasure a beauty a staunch friend aud a deadly weapon. I receive the Rki uelioan regularly aud enjoy tho perusal of it very much indeed. You ure getting out a very creditable paper, at which I am duly elated, considering you in some sense a dcsjiplo of my own. With regards to my friends, and best wishes for the success of the Ri: ruBLicAX, I an; Yours truly, W. R, Duxm.

J. V. Walker, Teacher. A C.'Cst.LileraryWorlv, A work that overy lover of good literature wants at coa?taut command, because, while it is superlatively at tractive and interesting in itself, it is also a key und index to all other good English literature, enabling oue to see and judge fur himself what authors and books arcjnost desirable for him to read suclis the new Acme edition of Chamber's Cyclopedia of English Literature. In its nearly 3,500 pages it gives biographies of nil noted British and American authors from earliest time to the present, with choice aud characteristic selections from their writings, thus being a concentration of the best productions of modern in tellect. It is published in eight handy and beautiful lCmo volumes, at prices so low as to seem really astonishing to most book buyers, viz: in paper, com plete, 82.00 ; cloth, $3.00 ; half mo rocco SI. 75 half morocco, the four volume edition, $3 75.
