Smearbaugh succeeded in catching 67 trout out of Tubbs Run, one day last week, the best score we have heard of in this immediate vicin ity for some time. Tubbs Run has probably yielded more trout in its time than any stream in the country of similar 6ize. The fishiug party which went up on Salmon last week, consisting of lion. L. F. WatsoD, E. L.. Davis and L. II. Freeman, Esqs., returned, after a three day's expedition, having caught, as they say, all the trout they could eat, and had hosts of fun, say about two funs to one trout. Those who stopped and looked over into the water between the two middle piers of the river bridge, last Saturday afternoon saw a tempting sight. The bottom of the river was literally black with bas3, salmon and euckers, ve never saw the like before in this river, but thoy wouldu't bite. The Titusville Morning Herald celabrated its fifteenth birth-day last Monday morning by a neat new dress, which is very becoming. The Herald is rapidly growing in public favor, and its circulation is steadily increas ing notwithstanding tho hard times. May it live to celebrate its one-hun-dieth birth-dav During the week Mr. Win. Felton brought to town a geological speci men, which attracted considerablo at tention. It was a line specimen, being about 2 feet long, and 4 or 5 inches io diameter, the same being a matter of geological interest. Being desirous to investigate, we called the attention of one of our gcologints who pronounced it a petrifaction of the palm tree. The specimen in question, wes a good one, as it represented that portion of tho tree, v, hero there was a lateral branch from tho main trunk. Our informant says, the indentations all clearly mark the tren as defined by Dana, Slemmono and other eminent geologists, and that the same belongs to the carboniferous period, when this became fossillizsd. In Pincgrovo township, Venango Co., about ten miles south of this place, many specimens of the fossil palm abound. Tho theory plainly is that at a warmer period the paloi tree (the same as is found on the plains of Arabia to day) flourished here, and that its record is in the petrifactions we find to-day. We aro Bony to state that the condition of our old citizen Daniel Iluddleson, who has been suffering for several months with that loathsome disease known as "dry gangrene," is growing worse each day. lie was taken down about the middle of Feb ruary last, and has been a constant suuerer over since. The disease broke out on his foct and has been gradually tending upward until it has reached his body, which is breaking out in different places. The flesh lias been eaten off in many places about his feet and limbs until the bones are left bare. It is hard to imagine what the old gentleman must suffer, and nothing but death can relieve him. He is a man about 75 or 80 years old, and the father of quite a largo family of boys and girls. His residence i3 in Tionesta township, about five miles south of this place, where fie has lived for many years. While his recovery is beyond all hope, we trust his suffer ings may be light uutil death shall relieve him. Au itenerant rope-walker and trapecso-perfurnier, calling himself Trof. LaVeer, hut for all we know it might be Jones or Smith, struck this place last Saturday. He stretched his rope across the street from the Law rence House to Mr. Dithridge's store, and at 7 o'clock p. m., made his ap pearance. Quite a crowd had gathered to witness the perfurmance. After throwing a few "flip-flaps" on the tra peeso he announced that he would coma down and take up his accus tomed collection, after w hich ho would perform the wonderful feat of walking both under and on top of tho rope, which he did. Loops were arranged under the rope in which he caught his feet on which hooks were-fastened to keep them from slipping out; in this way ho worked himself across the street. The show was worth all that it cost any individual, as we believe none gave more than ten cents. Rev. A. O. Stone met with a severe sccideut ct East Hickory last Sunday evening. While on his way home from the Church, the Dight being dark, he stepped off the bridge which spans Hickory creek in front of Bowman's store, falling a distance of about ten feet on the rocks below, causing a severe fracture of the left fore-arm. Dr. Elaine was called and reduced the fracture, and left the rev erend gentleman in good' spirits. He says his congregations will be obliged to put up with some single-handed sermons for a while. Charlie Hill informs us that oil operations will be commenced at his place, 3 miles up the river, within a week or ten days. Messrs. G. M. Kepler & Co., of Butler county, have obtained leases sufficient to justify them in giving the territory up there a thorough test, and they will proceed to do so at once. We believo they are to havo the first well completed within six weeks, or thereabouts. Our read ers will bo kept posted regarding oper ations in that section. The citizens all along the line of the P. T. & B. R. R., from Irviueton around to Corry, and wherever Mr. C. J. Hepburn was known will sin cerely regret to learu that he has ten dered his resignation as General Su perintendent of that road. Mr. Hep- Turn has been, during his long term of service, a most faithful, eiHuieut and popular oflicer, and we hope ho may bo iuduced to remain with tho road. The Company cannot well spare such an oflicer as Mr. Hepburn. Fourth of July. Wo are requested to announce that thore will bo a meeting of tb citizens of Tionesta at the oflice of E. L. Davis Esq., to-morrow (Thursday) evening, at half past eeveu o'clock, to consider the matter of a celebration on tho coming Fourth of July. Neighboring towns generally are making great preparations for the celebration of the Fourth, and we see no reason why Tionesta should not. The expense is comparatively nothing, and by all working in uuison a rousing time and successful celebration can be had. Let all our citizens be on hand to-morrow evening, and vote for n old-fashioned blow-out. The new school board of this borough met on Monday evening last, and organized for the ensuing year. The first thing done was the election of C. A. Randall te fill tho vacancy caused by the resignation of W. R. Dunn. J. T. Brennaa was .elected President; D. W. Clark, Secretary, and A. It. Kelly, Treasurer. The levy for school purposes was put at 6 mills. It was decided to have 8 months of school, commencing ou the first Monday of September. It was al-io decided to have three schools. This action ou the part of the board will, without doubt, meet the aproba tion of our citizens. Tho schools kt fall and winter were entirely too crowded. Jake Stitzinger tells us about a candidate coming out in his section, and calling at a neighbors and 6nding no one at the house, walked into a cornfield where he saw a man, as he supposed. Going up to him he briefly stated his business, at the same time taking from his pocket a bundle of tiekets, which he hoped his friend would uso, aud do all ho could for him. After talking about the cropp, frosts, etc., for a short time, and finding his companion a little indis posed to converse with hint, the can didate extended his hand to bid him gootf day, when, lo ! he had been wastiug all this time on a well-designed scarc-crow ! There will bo a glass ball shoot in Tionesta on the Fourth of July. Parties from Pleasantville will come over, bringing with them a trap and a supply of balls sufficient to last all day. The sport will be comparatively inexpensive, the balls costing but two cents each, and no doubt all our local shootists will take a hand, aud we expect they will carry ofTsomo of the prizes. Mr. II. Morris, the popular Tailor, will be in Tionesta ou June 19th, with a full line of new samples. AH those in want of suits for tho' 4t h of July will do well to wait. Goods made lower than any Tailor iu the State, and satisfaction guaranteed. . 12 2t. Dutch Hill Notes. Dutch Hill, June 13, 1879. W. B.

Amid the clamor and clah of polit ical and sectional strife and the excite ment engendered thereby, we are apt to neglect matters often of the moH momentous nature. New doctrines must be tested, sifted, and discarded or approved as' the case may be, and men in the strugglo for political ag graadizement lose sight of those edu cational Interests upon which the pejpetuity and enlightenment of the government depends, nnd which they by their carelessness reuder abortive. But neither Republicans, Democrats nor Grcenbackcrs can afford to ruth lessly turn tlm disfavoring counte nance upon tho solid rock of educa tion, upon which alone all permanent foundations must rest, and all doc trines, all platforms, should tend to solidify all strength, to tho perfection of free government of the people an! by the people. Our schools must not le neglected ; our educational interests must be kept alive and bright. The Grecians, so long as thoy were guided by enligtenment, love of truth, jus tice and morality, flourished; but when ignoiance and Persian gold crept into the assemblies of Grecian law makers, her fall was a3 astonishing as her rise. There is an astonishing similitude between tho government to-diy and the Grecian government when it first became a prey to venality and corruption. But let us not be discouraged if ominous signs darken our horizon ; let us as teachers improve the taleut that God has given us, that it may be Baid to each "Well done thou good and faithful seivaot." What we want is a thorough, earnest awaken ing upon the part of teachers and school officers, an earnest efrort to improve the children in the districts where we teach or have charge; incul cate a lovo and desire for learning ; make the school hours interesting, by explaining and talking about the reci tations and telling historical stories, and then you will not have to uso the rod so often. Get the parent! out if you can, whioh signifies a good deal, but can invent some way to keeg the interest up, and by so doing you will faithfully even aud merit the appella tion of benefactors. Mc.

The Best is the Cheapest, The announcement that a new edi tion of Webster's Unabridged Dic tionary has just been published, con taining many new and vuluablo feat ures, suggests the thought that buying a Dictionary is a good deal like buying an egg or watch : a bad one is not cheap at auy price. Webster being tho standard authority for tho English language, ho naturally has many imitators, but imitators are usually held nt their truo worth by the public: who wants a wooden nut mpg, though it may look ever so much lilio tho genuine, article ? The popular ity of Webster is based upon t'lis principle.
