Tho Hanlan-Courtney Sham. .
Last Thursday morning eight or
ten of our citizens started forMayville
to see what was expected to be cno of
tho greatest boat races ever witnessed
in this or any other country. A
special train left Tidioute via Oil
City, but was not very extensively
patronized, most of the excursionists
from here and Tidioute going by way
of Irvincton and Jamestown. The
topic of conversation all along the
route was, of course, the great race,
aud as the train neared Chautauqua
the interest became greater, until all
Imd worked themselves up to a high
state in anticipation of the wonderful
event. When the train pulled up to
the depot thero was a general rush
among tho passengers to get off, and
in the rush the pocket books of one or
two turned up missing. 0 sooner
had,the crowd alighted than they
learned that the race would not take
place. Courtney's boats had been cut
the night before, and rendered en
tirely unfit for use. At first the new
was rather sneered at, everybody
thinking it was a put up job just to
keep the crowd there another day, as
.had been rumored, but when it wns
ascertained to a certainty that the
boats really had been destroyed the
sulphurous outbursts from the disap
pointed crowd made things look blue
for a time.
It appears that the two men who
had charge of and were watching
Courtney's boat house, some distance
down the lake, went up toMayvilleon
the previous night, leaving the house
unoccupied for a couple of hours, and
when they retuined the mischief was
done. At the time Courtney was very
much censured, and, really it looked
very much as though he was at fault ;
his friends even believing he did it
himself. However, recent develope
meuts go to show that the deviltry
was the work of Ilanlau's crew of
backers and gamblers, they having so
much staked on him, and being fearful
that he would lose the race were
obliged to resort to these measures to
stop it, after finding Courtney could
not be bought off.
At the appointed time, 4 o'clock,
Hanlan came out and rowecf over the
coune, makiDg the fastest time on
record for five milos, which was thirty
three minutes and fifty-six and one
fourth seconds. Very little interest
was manifested in the matter, and
long before the sculler had got back
to the starting point the people began
to rush for the trains, thoroughly dis
gusted with the entire affair.
The crowd was anything but as
largo as was anticipated, there being
scarcely six thousand people present,
two-thirds of which, it is safe to say,
were gamblers, pick-pockets and cut
throats. The gambling den, the prize
ring, the thieves' haunts, the low dive,
and the groggery were all fully repre
sented, and in fact it was by odds (.he
roughest crowd taken as a whole
that the eyes of a decent person ever
beheld. It is a hard matter to find a
man who will acknowledge baviDs
been to Bee the race.
The most worried and seemingly
worked up roan on the ground was
Passenger Agent Baldwin, who was
most instrumental in bringing about
the race at Chautauqua. After having
perfected all arrangements for the
grand display, and having everything
in the best of shape, then to have the
whole affair wind up in such a com
plete fizzle, must have beeu provoking
in the extreme. Whoever else may
be at fault, the public can rest assured
that Mr. Baldwin did well his part.

Quite a lively war of words, ac
companied by some dog blood, occurred
near Buck Mills, on Tionesta Creek,
the other day. It appears that some
foreign parties had struck that place
with dogs, guns etc., and were hound
ing doer into the creek, very much to
the chagrin and disgust of the old
hunters of that neck o'woods, and
against the peace an j dignity of the
Commonwealth; whereupon tho o. h.'s
turned out and commenced the slaugh
ter of hounds promiscuously. The
foreign parties of course "kicked" on
this style of procedure, and the
trouble commenced. Winchester,
double-barrels, and muskets were
drawn all round, and for a time it was
thought a regular fkirtnish would
follow; but 3eeing tho old hunters
evidently meant business the f. p.'s
withdrew from the field, and, as our
informaut states, left minus a couple
of dogs.
The weather prophet of the Pitt3
burgh Commercial- Gazette has the fol
lowing to say regarding the weather:
"I am not able to give a positive
and dehnite answer to the many in
quiries made as regards the prospects
for rain. It appears that the roots of
tii 0 atmosphere are dried up through
out the east, north and west of the
United btates. Ihere is no indication
of a storm at present, but will present
an answer in a negative sense. If
there is no rain storm between Satur
day and Tuesday upon, next, 18tb
and 2l8t inst., you may expect the
lunar month to be nearly destitute of
storms as the last mouth. If a free
and extended copious rain storm
should ensue a change for cooler
weather will ensue, and if frosts fol
low, there will be an abundance of
rain storms, yet a high river is not
probable to flow before the 20lh to
30th of November."
Last Thursday afternoon some of
the little boys playfully set fire to the
woods near the campmceting ground,
and the leaves being so dry the fire
soon got out of their control and
spread rapidly. Ihe citizens were
obliged to turn out aud fight hard to
save the fences and buildings near the
edge of the woods.- The fire spread
all along the side hill back of the
Court House, placing some of the
buildings in that vicinity in consider
able danger. It was finally fought off
without doing any serious damage, but
only after a good deal of effort. Boys
should bo very careful how they
handle matches in the woods during
this dry weather.
And still the drought continues
Many of the wells about towu are
waterless, and the bottom of the river
keeps showing itself more and more
each day. Our lumbermen are
beginning to feel a little uneasy lest
we should not have a flood before
winter sets in. There is now lying at
the mouth of the creak upwards of two
million feet of lumber awaiting suffi
cieut water to run it to market. This
will all have to be drawn out and, re-
rafted In the spring should the much
hoped for flood fail to put in an ap
pearance.

The November number of the
Nursery is at hand with more than its

extant for young readers, and when
saved up and bound at the end of
each volume makes one of the hand
somest little books that can be had.
Especial attention ts directed to the

it embraces some rare opportunities to

The November number of Ballou's
Magazine is issued, and can be found
at all the newsdealers in the country,
or.is sent to subscribers at the low
price of $1.50 per annum, postpaid.
This is cheap enough for a first-class
family magazine that contains so much
interesting reading-matter as Ballou's,
with its excellent illustrations, nice
stories, thrillicg eea-yarns, aud first-
class poetry. It is a serial for old
and young, and no one can fail to find
something in it that will interest and
iustruct. Themes & Talbot, publish

Peterson's Magazine, which a co
temporary calls "pre-eminently the
first of the lady's books," is on our
table for November, ahead of all
otlierg. It is astonishing how this fa
vorite continues to improve. The
present number leads offwith a charm
ing steel engraving, "The Little Ilaj
maker," and is followed by ono of
those double-size steel fashion plates,
only seen in this periodical. Then
comes a powerful engraving, "The
Oriel Window," illustrating a story,
and then Bonie fifty wood cuts of
dresses,patternsinembroidcry,crochet,
&c, &c. The price of "Peterson,"
remember, is but Two Dollars a year,
or less than any other first-class mag
azine, postagofree; to clubs the terms
are even lower, viz: two copies for
83.50, with a superb, copyright mezzo
tint (size 24 inches by 20) "Washing
ton at Valley Forge," as premium.
Or four copies for $0.50, and an extra
copy of the magazine itself as premi
um. Or five copies for $8.00, with
both an extra copy and the "Wash
ington at Valley Forge," as premium.
For larger clubs the premiums are
even more tempting. Now is the time
to get up clubs for 1880. Specimens
are sent, gratis, if written for. Addiess

DIED.
WALTERS. At her residenco in Tio
nesta, on the morning of Thursday, Oct.
16th, 1879, Mrs. Dorcas D. Walters, aged
41 years and 12 days.
The deceased was taken sick about
three weeks ago, with typhoid fever,
and was obliged to give up teaching
school. She lingered along, and at
times was thought to bo growiug better,
until a day or two previous to her
death, when she was taken suddenly
worse, and never rallied again. Mrs.
Walters was born and raised in this
section, and has always enjoyed the
universal esteem of her largo circle of
acquaintances. Her hu.sband, Mr.
Philip Walters, died about fivo years
ago, since which 6ho has employed her
time attending and teaching school.
By her kind disposition she greatly
endeared herself to the little children
who attended her school, and her
memory will long be cherished in their
young heart. She leaves a mother,
brother, and several sisters to mourn
her demise, and these fricuds have the
sympathy of our community in their
afllictiou.
