Some of our citizens have been fortunate enough to capture' an occa sional "wild sheep." These are a dis tinct variety of sheep ; are of a reddish color; somewhat larger than tho com mon, breed, and, while not particularly adapted to wool raising, aie very choice ealitig. --The time table oti tho P. T. it 13. It. J!., was somewhat changed on Mou day. We have not received the new schedule, and can only give the time at this station : Trains going noitli, S:2i a. m., and, 0:04 p. in.

The communication of "Tax payer," in another cohiniu, will bear a perusf.l, especially by those mote directly interested, tho Township official. The writer is lirgely inter ested in lands in this county, and pays a large amount of tax every year. The Auditors of Tionesta Township have not published their statement this year iu tho papers; whether they have done so by posters we do not kuow. Last Friday was "beechnut day ;"' if it rains on tho 2oth of July, ac cording to an old theory, beechnuts will be "drowned out." Should this tlieory prove true in this instance, we need not expect a largo crop of these nuts, as it rained oil that particular day. Notwithstanding this, however, tho present prospects are goodj as parties tell us who have traveled over tho greater part of the county re cently, and took particular pains to notice. Saturday's rain raised the creek and river to quite a neat little rafting stage, and as a consequence quite, a number of rafts were run out on Sun day lust from Coon creek. Twenty six piete3 were brought safely to the mouth, and one stuck at Forgo island. These, together with those run out on a previous flood, will make something over forty creek pieces, or about nine "Alleghenies," all of which would have been run to market had the river been high enough to have allowed them to got over the dam. Those prisoners in our jail aro bound to break out if such a thing is possible. On Monday morning, Mr. Shawkey's suspicions having been aroused by some peculiar actions on tho part of Weslen, ho concluded to mako an investigation of lps (Wes ton's) cell. This he did, and was not a little surprised to find that the piis oner had succeeded in raising one of tho boards in the floor, and had burned u hole through the timbers into I he cellar. The holo was not large enough to admit the man's body, but ti very little more fire would have had the desired effect. He claims to have raised the piece of flooring with a case-knife, by cutting the seam w hero tho boards aro matched together they being only matched and not nailed. It is supposed he used kerosene oil to start the fire, having had a lamp in his cell on different occasions. Mr. Shawkey also noticed that he used a great deal of water, which ho always called for about bed lime, and it is thought he wanted this in case the fire should get beyond his control. This is the second attempt made by Westen to esctipe, nnd his plans have both times been thwarted by tho sagacity of Mr. Shawkey. Stanford, the other prisoner, eiuce hia incarceration, has been Very civil, and if he has any plau of escape in contemplation, ho is sharp enough to conceal it from his keeper. A more careful watch than ever will bo kept over them in the fu tuic. P. S. Since the above was in type Westen made unothcr attempt to get out, by taking down tho stove pipe, which pases from the cell into the hall of the jail, thence up through the ceiling. Mr. Shawkey was standing within ten feet of the prisoner while he was working, and so quietly was he about it that Mr. S. could scarcely hear a sound, until the pipe acciden tally came down with a crash. This happened last night about 12 o'clock. He will no doubt be treated to a ball and chain now. Last Saturday the lower oil country experienced the most terrific st.rm and deluge ever known in that section. A torrent of rain, or water spout, commenced to descend iu the forenoon, and in a short time houses, barns, saw-mills, bridges &.c, were being swept away, Martinsburg, Millerstown, Kama City and Petrolia all sustained great damage to property of every description. Several miles of the Parker & Karus City railroad track was washed away, and it will be many days before travel can bo re sumed. The greatest damage was sustained at Petrolia, a large portion of tho best part of the town having been carried away by the overflowing of Bear Creek, which passes through the" city. No lives were lost, but many persons narrowly escnped. The Derrick, which publishes a diagram of the place, showing the liue of the flood.gives a summary of the losses sus tained, which aggregate $130,900. Ove thirty buildings were destroyed at Petrolia ahnc, to say nothing of those demolished iu the other towns mentioned, and along the lino of tho flood. On last Friday evening, as Mr. F. F. Whittckin was on his way home via Wilderness Itoad, ho somewhere iu Little Tionesta Hollow, heard an owl hoot au J drew his revolver to get a shot at the same, when, upon nearing a thicket iu which he supposed the owl was, a large ragged dresicd man sprang forth aud fired a piKtol nt him, the bullet passing less than an inch from his face, aud made it3,way through the brim of his hat. Mr. Whittckin, having his revolver in his hand aud cocked, instautly returned the fire and think he hit the villain Bomewhere about the head or neck ; at any rate he says that he fell to tho ground, and his horse leaped over him nnd gal loped away. An accomplice on tho other sido of tho road fired two shots after him a3 he rode away, both balls passing over him. Mr. Whittekin is in hopes that he marked him by the wound sufficient for detection. In company with a number of ladies aud gentlemen we were right royally tutertained with some choice selections of music on the violin aud piauw by Prof. Weber and his accom plished lady, at the residence of Mr. Z. T. Shriver, last Saturday evening. It was a rare treat, and wo hope to enjoy a repetition of the same at somo future, time. They leave for their homo, in Greenville, Pa., to-morrow,! where the Professor has n clas of over forty scholaio, and U doing well. Mr. Ed. LVcnnan, who haa been stopping with hia brother J. T. Prennan Esq., in this place, for several months past, takes his departure for Now York to-morrow Mr. 1. is a courteous and affable gentleman whom it is a pleasure to meet. During his sojourn in Tio nesta he has made many friends, who will be sorry to hear of his departure. Good-bye, Ed. Services are still being held nt Universalist Church by the Free Methodist congregation. Their efforts are being attended with good success, and many new converts are being gathered into the fold. Rev. Hart, who has been conducting the services, left on Monday, but his place is being filled by Ilev. Piarnhart. Hie meetings will be continued as long as there are any new converts. P. S. Meetings closed last night. While down on tho islands last Thursday after woodcock, in company with Mr. J. T. Dale, we killed a black snake measuring 5 feet, and a rattle snake that would go 4 feet strong. The blacksnake didn't scare us much, but when we discovered the "rattler" just in time to avoid stopping on him, why, we jumped, didn't measure it, but will venture to say it was a good jump. We don't mentiou these things in order to scare off hunters, but if it has that effect wo won't bo worried much. The Forest and Stream came to us 1 nst 'week dressed in a bran new suit, and looking ns bright and cheerful as a Saisy. It is altogether the loveliest and best paper for sportsmen and lovers of the rod and gun extant. It is the standard authority in this country on all matters pertaining to the sporting liue, aud has gained a worldwide reputation as such. The editor, Chas. K. Ilalleck, is indefati gable in his efforts to make the Forest and Stream the bet publication of its kind in the world, and he succeeds admirably. A note from Major Goodman, of Dalltown, on Tionesta creek, conveys tho news that well No. 4 at that place, which is being put down by Berry it Co., struck oil at 200 feet. Tho hole filled up 100 feet with heavy oil in a very short time, and at last accounts they were getting leady to pump. We are unable at this writing to give par ticulars, but that the well will be a paying one there is no doubt, it being heavy oil. That oil in paying quan tities exists in that territory is a settled fact, and it will not be a great while ere thorough developcments will begin there. About Township Auditors' Reports. Ed. Kjii'L'ULiOAN : Dear Sir: Can you telhme whether the Road Commissioners and School Directors of Tionesta Township have in any way published tho Annual Financial Statements required by law ? The statements for last year have ccrtaiuiy not been published in the Republican. The intention of the law is, that a statement of the receipts aud expenditures of the road ana school officials of the several town ships, bo published annually, for bene fit of tax payers. Now you know a good portion of the land in Tionesta Twp. is owaed by nou-residents, who think they have a right to see those statements in the newspaper. It is bird enough to have to pay into Forest Co., every two years as taxes, all the nard-earued savings of those years, without being denied the priv ilege of knowing whether tho money has beeu judiciously expended, cr whether it is lost, strayed or stolen. It may bo that the statements have been published in baud bills, and the letter of the law thus complied with ; but is it not asking a little too much of the non resideut, that ho spend a couple days looking at tho trees ia the township, in order to know how the tax money has been expended, or remain iu ignorance? Land iu Tio nesta Twp. is now taxed more than twice what it was previous to 1870, aud tho same land up to 1801 paid less than one-eighth of the present taxea, so there can bo no excuso for grudging the printer a few dollars for publishing the statements so that everybody may see them. ' It is just possible that tho. ftate incuts have not beeu published at all. The only shure proof thero can bo thut a public officer has nothing to conceal, is his manifested willinguess to publish his official acts. Please give mo what light you tan, aud obligo Taxta vii: Text Books. It is with pleasure that I hear from our school directors that thero is but one district in Forest ccunty which has a non-uniforraity of text books. The old editions havo "given way to newer and better books. The opposi tion which was waged against thoso who, last season endeavored to secure county uniformity in text books in our common schools has now given way to open comnisndation for thoso who dilligcntly labored to secure uni form series in the various townships. Although wo now havo uniform series of Readers, Spoilers, Geogra phies and Arithmetics, wo yet lack an adopted scries of Grammars in several districts. It is to be hoped that these will be decided upon as soon, as pos sible. This done, Forest county can boast of what few other counties in tho "Old Keystone" can elevate them selves to. The schools of many counties, however, aro much better supplied with apparatus than ours arc. Several districts are supplied with wall-inapa and a few schools with globes. TJiesc ought to bo in every school in Forest county, and in con nection with them several good works of reference for both pupil and teacher. I know of but one school in the county in which tho "board" has furnished any works of information whatever, and that is Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. I have before me a letter from one of our directors in which he asks: "We intend to furnish our schools with a few works of reference. Which, iu your opinion, would you advise me to purchase this year, which next year, and how many ought wo to have in each school to make a good, thorough condensed library ?" The above question is what called forth the remarks made by me preced ing the above interrogatory. Now my answer: This year I would supply each school with a copy of Webster's Unabridged. Next year with a copy ofDavies' Mathematical Dictionary, or Brown's Grammar of English Grammars; then might follow copies of each of tho Natural Sciences, aud a few works on English Literature, nil of which need not exceed twenty dol lars per school. I hope your "board" will commence the good work at once, and then that the other districts will follow your example. If you have any other questions to ask relative to tho establishment of a school library aud will deign to ask my opinion, I shall be very glad to answer either by letter or through the medium of our county papers. Very truly yours, F. F. Wiitrnaax. NEW GOODSr Received by George W.
