"Cooning" has commenced, but as yet we have heard of uo catches. Summer overcoats were quite comfortable during tho grcntcr part of the past week. Kov.

May Irwin, tho genial newppa- per wit, is here on n visit to his brother S. D. Irwiu Epq. Mips Mary Riser departed for Edinbnro on Monday to attend the State Normal School. Mr. and Mrs. May, and Mr. and Mrs. Kelly spent a few days at Chau tauqua Lake last week. Camp meeting begins at Lick- ingville to day. Quite a number, wo doubt, will attend from this place next Sunday, ns uyual. Ab. Grove and Frank Hunter angled a very fine 6lr:ng of hnfs and salmon in the river above Tubbs Run, one day last week. Lightning struck a tree within a few feet of Judge 1'roper'a bam during the storm on Wednesday last. It was a close shave fur the buildings about there. Mr. Collins is building more rail road at Lacytown this summer. He expects to lay a half mile or more, and the iron rails arc being hauled from this station nt present. A gentleman lost a shirt stud, imitation diamond, set in solid gold. If the finder will leavo it at this office, ho will be suitably rewarded, and receivo the thanks of the owner. The derrick of Geo. Hunter's new well near the depot opposite town looms up mnjcstically. George is very sanguine of a good striko there, and judging from the surrounding territory ho has a legitimate right to be. The work of putting a new tin roof on the Court House has begun, in fact, is over half finished. It will bo a vast improvement on the old nhingle roof, and will have the effect to keep cut the rain. Some of our shootists experimen ted with the new explosive balls of C. V. lioiightou's patent, one day last week. They are considerable of a novelty, and send out quite a volume of smoke when hit by a shot. ' Rv. Hatch of Pleasantville preached a good sermon in the M. E. Church li ft .Sunday evening At the conclusion Mr. IJauks, of the same place, sang, "Have you any mom or Jesus," with good efliect. lie is a very sweet singer. "L. L. I)." wiites from Star P.O., asfullows: We aro all alive and kicking up here yet, Th young folks .had a nice little dance at Mr. Wal ler's last Thursday evening. The most of the farmers have got their oats in in good shape, and it makes them laugh in thuir sleeves. Threo Oil City sports passed through town last week, on a woodcock huut od the islands between -Tidionte and this place. They got a good 'ducking," several birds, and, as we understand they squared up their bills at the Central before leaving, we have no fault to find. Miss Nellie Brett, a former belle of this citr, was married at tho Kent House, Lake View, last Wednesday, to Mr. Will Page, the assistant post master at Oleau. Tltwsville Herald. Miss Brett has many friends and ac quaintances in this place, who vill wish her much joy in her new life. The jury list for September term, which is published this week, com prises 74 names; 26 more ihrfn usual. Tho unusually large number of crim inal causes on the calendar necessitates tho drawing of this extra number of jurors, by which the county will incur an additional expense of several hundred dollars. Mrs. W. E. Lathy departed for Newton, Kansas, last Thursday. She was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Rodgers as far as Cincinnati, where tho expects to visit a few days, before starting on her long and tedi ous journey. She- will meet her hus band at Kansas City. May she have a sale and pleasant jourucy. Mrs. Col. Thomas has gone to Norristown to attend tho funeral of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Selden May. Tho death warrant of Andrew Tracy, tho murderer of his cousin and sweetheart, Miss Mary Ileiley, in McKean county early last spring, has been signed by the Governor, and Tracy will swing into eternity on the 8th of next October. Yellow fever in Memphis still rages to an alarming extent, and the death rate is reported as greater than at any previous time. The inhabit ants aro fleeing in all directions, and other towns and neighborhoods have quarantined against the doomed city. Tho wife of Mr. Johu Wiles, who lives at the mouth of Litttlo Tionesta, was stung by a wasp or spider on the forehead on Sunday morning last, causing severe swelling of her entire face and causing great jiain. She is much better now. Jairus Reck and Bruce Crawford returned last week from an all-summer's lumber perilling trip down the Ohio. Mr. Reck disposed of the last of his lumber at Portsmouth, and reports the market very dull in that section. He brought with him a handsome pointer dog. The squirrel season will commence one week from next Monday, but it is not worth while to warn hunters against shooting them until the season opens, as we have yet to hear of the first squirrel of any kind being seen this summer. They will probably be around when nuts rippen, however.. A Brookston, Forest Co., corres pondent writes: "The amateur enter tainment held here last FViday night passed off very pleasantly ; the lady performers acting well their parts. Mrs. S. goes on a visit to Meadville to-morrow. Mrs. McClure, our school ma'am, is on a short vacatiou to Waterford, Pa." Tho Millerstown Company, Mr. Geo. M. Kepler, Supt., have a rig up on the Hill farm threo miles up the river, and drilling will commence next week. We understand this company will put down several wells in the eastern part of tho county this fall. The company is solid, and we ..may ixpect thorough developments when they get ttarted. At Newtown, the other day, as the workmen of Wheeler &Dusenbury were sliding logs down a slide from tho high hill opposite the mill, a drove of cows chanced by. One log going iulo the group killed three one each of Messrs. John Halliday, Jas. liar kinson and Esq., Catlin, and wounded several others. The meat, market has taken qnite a tumble in that vicinity. Last Friday evening as Mr. Henry Miller, of Beaver Valley, was hauling a load of logs to T. D. Collins' mill, one of the wheels of the wagon going into a ruf, threw Mr. Miller off, striking the ground partly on his elbow. He received a fracture of one, and dislocation of the ther, bones of the forearm at tho elbow joint. Dr. Blaine was called and regards the injury as quite a serious one aa to the usefulness of the elbow joint. At present Mr. M. is doiDg very well. The walk in front of the M. E. Church has at last been built, and the improvement in appearance and con venience is immense. It beats oil what a little pride on tho part of our citizens will do toward the looks of the town. Tho Council has decided to extend tho walk from tho church to Partridge's store, and connect with his walk, thus giving the citizens a chance to travel the east side of the street, without wadhtg in mud to their knees. Several parties who aro interested in tho Balltown territory, from Pitts burg and other points, were in town last week, and visited the new well. They all seemed elated over tho pros pects of a good strike, and were well satisfied with the well just struck. Mr. Berry informs us that the oil is the heaviest ever yet fouud in this State, and that it will bring from 810 to $12 per barrel in market. He says it is nearly if not quite equal to the Mecca oil, of Ohio. No new operations have begun there yet. Wantod agents, for City and State.

And yet another attempt has been made by the prisoners in our jail to escape. Last Thursday morning, about four o'clock Mr. Shawkey was awak ened from his slumbers by some sus picious noises about the jail, and im mediately dressed himself to mako nn investigation. He repaired to. the hall door of the jail and stopped, when he heard Sanford calling for hcLp. Upon examination ho found tho window cas ing of Sanford's cell to be on fire, and so far had it progressed that it was Willi considerable difficulty that tho fire was extinguished. Thinking everything was all right Mr. Shawkey went back to bed, but was awakened in a short time by Jas. Swaverly, who on passing the jail, had noticed smoke issuing from the cell wiudow.' An examination showed that the building was still on fire, and was making rapid progress between the timbers and the window casing. After waking his son, Curt., and Luther VouglA, who were occupying a room over Sanford's cell, which was rapidly filling up with smoke, they tore up some of the floor ing, and in this way succeeded in get ting water to the firo and extinguish ing it. Sanford had started the fire with some paper and shavings which he had whittled off a bed-slat with a case knife while eating dinner, and could ho have kept the fire under con trol would have made good his escape; but it gut the better of him and io order io savo his own life he was obliged to give the alarm. This is Sanford's first attempt to escape, and, while he didn't propose to attempt it every morning, he was only waiting for an opportunity, and make sure of escape when he did try. Every at tempt of this kind makes their keeper more watchful, and lessens their chances for escape. They will now be obliged to do without their accustomed smoke, as it was by this means they got matches Their cells adjoining one another, one would light his pipe and shove a lightened paper through a hole in the partition to tho other prisoner, giving him a chance to save his match. In this way they accumu lated enough matches to start the firo. Sanf:rd said the next morning after tho occurrenco that he expected at that time to be a free man, and .when asked if he would go off and leavo his partner in the lurch, ho said ho had no fear but that Wcslen would get away, as he wis "capable of crawling through a very small hole." They will be closely watched in the future. A most terriffio- and disastrous ta.ik explosion occurred on the side hill opposite Parker City last Saturday morning. Lightning had struck a tank on Thursday, setting it on fire, the burning oil from which ran down tho hill and communicated the firo to the tank in question, which contained 32,000 barrels of oil. It was kept under control by stopping up all tho vent holes, and in a measure smoth ering the fire, until Saturday morning, when tho gas generated by the heat became to voluminous and the tank explodsd with terrible force, and the burning oil lushed down tha hill, across tho railroad track, and into the river, playing havoc with everything with which it came in contact. Other tanks were iguited and exploded, and the loss of property is estimated at $95,000. Twelve men were on the roof of the tank when the explosion occurred, and strange to say, none were killed, although three of them were quite severely burned. We un derstand that Jud. Childs, a former citizen of this county, was ouo of tho men on tho tank when it exploded. It was by all odds tho greatest oil fire ever witnessed. Monday's Derrick gives a diagram and very full and graphic description of tho disaster. Dutch Hill, Pa., Aug. 1G, 79. Mr. P., I did not intend thoso few remarks I made in last week's Ri: ruBMCAX to hit you, but if tho shoo fits put it on. We are not very wise in this vicinity, but I think if we were to keep on reading the groeuback papers wo would iu a slnrt time know a great deal less. One gets tiled of tho same old story over and over again, week after week. Mr. P., we would be very glad to see you over iu tl is part of the county making stump speeches once more. If you come don't forget to bring that "litllo brown jug" along, and next fall we will give you alt the "Grant League" you want. Yours truly, O. G.

May, Esq.; on Tuesday announced that Mrs. Elizabeth Selden May, wife of Selden May, formerly of this place, had died suddenly that morning at her home in Norristown. Tho lady who has thu3 been called away was well known and highly respected in 1 1iia community. She was a daughter of the lato Rev. Sylvester Selden, of New Haven, Conn., who was a relative of the May family, and also of tho mother of our townsman, Dr. J. E. Blaine. About twenty-eight years ago, on the occasion of her marriage, Mrs. May came to Tionesta and took up her res idence. She resided here until 18GG, when tho two May brothers, Benjamin and Selden, sold out and removed to Norristown. Mrs. May was a lady of culture and refiuenieut. All who cume in social contact with her were made to feel the charm of her intelligent con versation, her delicate and kindly hos pitality, and her gentle and lady-like manner. She was a woman of stead fast principle and of Christian virtues. Her home was the abode of' elegance, tasto and beauty. The sympathies of this community will go out to the hus band iu this hour of his bereavement, now that that cherished home of theirs is left unto him desolate. Tho annual meeting of the mem bers of tho Presbyterian congregation look place last Saturday evening. It was decided, and a committee was ap pointed for tho purpose, to solicit sub scriptions, and ascertain how much could be raised before a call should bo made for preaching for the ensuing year. We Lore the numbers and citizens will subscribo liberally so that the congregation will be ablo to retain their minister. Should Rev. Elliot leave it will be many years ere the Presbyterians of Tionesta will get another minister as good as he.
