E. Church; also steps leading from said walk to the church. If put through it will be a comruendnble im provement, and oue which should have been made long ere this. Mr. Wilson, the "Buckeye Black smith," has just made us a G pronged spear w hich takes tho rag off the hush for fine workmanship aud skillful mechanism ; it is altogether tho hand somest ono we llave ever seen, and now if the 'finny tube" don't hunt their holts some of thtni will conic to grid'; "you bet." Treasurer Lawrence is at present making a pilgrimage through the county, gathering up w hat spare mony tho tax-payers may hate about them. Those paying before tho first of August are entitled to an abatement of f per cent. Henry Ewald, tho boss jeweler and repairer of Tidioute, will guaran tee his work in every instance.

Among the general laws passed at tho late session of the Legislature was one enlarging the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace. Hereafter they are to have concurrent power with the Courts to entertain actions for amounts within 300; tbr.t is, a party may sue either before them er iu Court, as at present, for sums not exceediug that amount. This bill was not signed by the Governor hut ho allowed it to become a law by limitation. W. II. Johns Esq., one of the old est journalists in the oil rpgions, and w ho has for the past four years enli vened the colums of the ClaTion lie 2ubliean, recently severed his conncc tion with that paper to take charga of a new Republican paper at Foxburg. His successor is Mr. A. A. Carlisle, of Brookville, a brilliant and spicy news paper man. Both geutlemen have our best wishes for a long career of prosperity aud usefulness. Last Sunday morning Mr. Lewis Keister, wifo and child, of East Hick ory, started iu a buggy to come to church at Tionesta. Just below their houso the horse frightened at some thing and ran off. Mr. Keister, being crippled in ono leg, could not brace himself in such a manner as to check tho horse, and it running into a ditch threw them all out. Mr. K. escaped with a few bruises. Mrs. K., besides being bruised, was hurt severely in the left side, but at this writing is much better. The child received a severe scalp wound, about four inches in length, laying it bare to tho skull. Dr. Blaine was called aud rendered thehi as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. We mentioned last week that the C. O. I). B. B. C, of this place would go to Tidiouto on Friday to play a friendly game of ball with the boys of that place. ell, thai was a mistake. They failed to make good their ap pointment. When Friday afternoon camo the boys wero ail ready to start, except one man, who did not put iu au appearance, nnd for this reason a part of the club weakened; lost all their sand, if they ever had any, and could not bo prevailed upon to go, because they were afraid of defeat. 'Ihe Tidioute boys were at the depot when tho train pulled up redy with bus to receive Tionesta in good shape, and had all arrangements mad for a nice reception and a good time generally. Their disappointment aud disgust can be imagined when two or three of the club got oir the train to tell them that tho balance would not be up. Tho Tidioute club were anx ioiis that our boys should come up that they might leciprotato tho god treatment received at the hands of the itter while they wero hero, if fur ijoIIuul; tlae. . On Monday evening last, as the 9:20 train was ncaring tho trestle at Buck Run the engineer noticed some thing lying ncross the track at the west end of the trestle. Ho had hardly time to etop his train ere tho obstruc tion was reached, which proved to bo a hickory pole, about ten feet long and four inches in diameter. An ex amination showed it to be the identical pole that had been laid on the track, at the same place, about ten days pre viously, A3 the marks whero the engine wheel had struck it at that time wero plainly visible. A strong ropo and a short shrift is what is needed most in the vicinity of Buck Run, as tho mis creant who will deliberately do that which will result iu death an; 1 disaster to innocent parties, in order to gratify his petty spite toward tho railroad company, deserves no mercy from God or his fellow men. Clarion llcpub: limn. . The attention of our readers i. called to the time table of the Buffalo, Chautauqua Lake & Pittsburgh R. R., in to-day's paper. This road which lias always been known as the "Cross Cut," has recently been thoroughly ovcrha uled and refitted, and i3 now under the managemjnt of a very effi cient set of officers. New aud elegant coaches hitvo been put on, and many improvements made, in consequence of which the travel is rapidly incro.ising. W. S. Baldwin Esq., with whom most of our citizens are well and favorably acquainted, has been appointed Gen eral Fassonger Agent of the road, and well do his executive abilities and fine personal qualities fit him for the position. Should any of our readers contemplate a trip in that direction by oil means go bv tho way of the B. C. L. it P. R. R. " From many parts of tho county comes the cheering news that beech nuts will be abundant this season; tiiis being the case we may expect another great influx of wild pigeona this fall, which will be hailed with joy by all our sportiug men, and lovers of the gun. Nuts of all kinds promise an abundant crop, especially chestnuts aad butternuts. The oak trees are also loaded with acorns, which will no doubt draw squirrels into the couutry. In fact small game of all kinds will doubtless bo plenty, except, perhaps pheasants ; nnd eveu' these choice birds will likely be numerous tu places where the forest fires did not touch. From a private letter from our young friend and former townsman, Sam. Bouner, we learn that he is loca ted at a mining camp called Los. Cer rellos, about 25 miles from Santa Fe, New Mexico. He writes that he, in company with a half a dozen young men, are developing some mines there which promise a rich thing. He con fidently thinks that $200,000 ia a rea sonable estimate of what their interests will be worth to them when they once get thoroughly under operation. Shake, Sam. May you fully realize your fondest hopes. The July numbsr of "Baldwin's Ofiitial Railway Guide," has reached us, greatly improved in appearance and make-up.

Wo cx pericDce, as does tho rest of mankind, all those little incidents of every day life and serve us as topics of conversa tion and comment when neighbor meets neighbor, but as for news, or "items," that would be of gpneral interesi wo aro wanting in this par ticular, somewhat. All are busy now, here, haying and harvesting. Hay, owing to the late frosts and tho dryness of the earlier part of the summer, is not a very heavy crop; the crop will bo below the averrgo when cut and stored away. Corn is looking firstrato con sidering the lateness of tho spring. Oats bid"fair to be a good crop. Wheat was not materially injured by the lato frosts, and the yield per aero will be equal to tho general average. Po tatoes, if one is to judge from tho ap pearance above grouud, will bo good. Now, Mr. Editor, it will be seen that we like tho great mass of man kind havo to depcuj upon tho favora ble influences of climate, tve, aided by our own exertions for our temporal well being; the above notes in regard to grain ttc, proipocts, if you will eousider what efiocis such things pro duce upon the mind of man in general, will give you an insight into our wel fare at least in a certain way. Some of our farmers have been attempting to rid their fields of the daisy about which there is more nui sance here than poetry by diggiug it up and hauling it out of the fields into the road, where it is thrown out to be cut up by travel and scorched -by the sun. This method, it is true, is some what laborious, but it appears to bo the only remedy. The good people of Faguudas tickled their musical palates with a musical feast last Wednesday evening. Mu sically, the concert was a success ; the receipts were not very large. Perhaps fhis was owing to the fact that the "to be' of the concert was not generally known. The proceeds go to enrich the S. S. treasury. Byron Landers has moved his ahingle mill up to within a short dis tance of Tidioute; it is now running, and, we understand, doing good busi ness. Mr. Landers intends to move his family out to his mill sometime during the coming fall. 1 he cherry season is about over, and us yet no tale of injured limbs resulting from the harvesting of this fruit harrows our soul or cheers our pen. SoJOUiXEJi. Hickory Doings. W eather is oppressively warm. "To the harvestfleld" is the order of the day, and the farmers appear very .well pleased with the hay, wheat and rye crops; also with the spring grains.

Ihe new road up Beaver Crock is being slumped and put in shape ibr grading. We intend to have ono if tho best loads in tho county w!;sn finished. Our schools aro in operation and wo believe, uro doing good work. But in looking over the various reports wc find patrons do not respond as heartily to their duty-calls and thereby lend their aid and sympathy to teacher and school, as they might. We also notice that the blond director's genial face and manly form seldom darken tho door-way of our school houses. Whyiait? The following aro tho sentiments of numerous greenbackers in the Banner Hickory. This hurrah and huzza for our 05, is t)heap, but it takes money to buy flags! We thought when "ye editor" of the Nulioml mado promise of a $10 flag, that it was bona jdc, but wo arc coustrained to believe it was merely an advertising dodge.

Crops of oats and corn look "fair to middling;" rye and wheat aro good, but hay is short and thin. Eli Bcilin, E.-p, of this locality has "Hanged a wing into his house from the sonthca.st corner," ns ono of our local "grammaiists" said the other evening. This makes a decided im provemciit in the appearanco of his residence, and makes his heretofore small house rather roomy, to to speak. Mr. N. S. Fotcman, of Tionesta, aided by Mr. Geo. Zucndcl, of Dutch Hill, did the principal part of the work. Mr. Foreman is, nt present, working at putting on tlio finishing touches. When finished it will bo a very nico residence. Mr. Berlin ha3 al3o had erected on his farm a very large and commodious barn. Mr. C. F. Gillespie with his brother Read Commiisioners has had the road stumped from the creek, above New town, to the Whig Hill corner3. This, which was at first denounced as a piece of extravagant fofli.hncss is now seen to be oue of tlio wisest measures looking toward improving tho roads. Mr. Geo. Klinedtivcr and Mr. W. Decker did the "extracting." Mr. Barnes has, also from this board of officers, a contract for building the road from Mr. Beck's to the "corners." He receives $1.10 per lod for which, he is building a good substantial road. Whig Hill will soon figuro among the places whidi boast of having a Post-office. The appointments have, we believe, all been made and con firmed, and as soon as the necessary correspondence with the Department at Washington is completed, we expect to have to travel no longer to New town for our mail. The school at this place will closo about the last of August.
