It was the Herald that called the at
tention of the oil trade to the petroleum
beds that probably underlie that
county. Titusville Herald.
Oil is on a mcst terrible boom at
present, it having closed at $1,182 on
Tuesday. The prico ran up as high
as $1.20 at one time during 'the day.
It is predicted that it will reach $1.50
before the first of January, and that it
a ill not go below $1.00 again this
winter.
The qew stave mill of Dertckson

piled about the mill. Tho railroad
company will put in an extra switch
at that pluco for the accommodation
of the mill.
Tho suggestion of our Stewarts
Run correspondent that Forest county
organize an agricultural society is a
most excellent one, and should receive
the careful consideration of our farmers.
There is nothing so conducive to the
farming interests of any county ns a
good agricultural society, and now is
the time to agitate the subject.
There will be a shooting match
io Tionesta next Saturday, 22d, which
all are cordially invited to take in.
About 40 turkeys and as many more
chickens will be put up, which will
enable all to get a supply. The match
will begiu early, and no one should
miss it who wants a thanksgiving
fowl.
Colonel J. W.II. Reisinger, of the
Meadvilla Jiepublican, and J. K. Wenk
of the FoklstRki'UIsucax were in the
city yesterday. We did not meet
them, but the proprietor of a wholesale
liquor store assured us they were here.
Dcriuk. If that's t'ie way the

Having occasion to visit Oil City
last Friday, wo boarded oue of Mr.
Jackson's rafts in the morning, and
worked (?) our way to that place,
arriving there about one o'clock. At
the start the weather was fair, and
gave indieations of a pleasant day's
rnn, but about nine o'clock a heavy
rain set in which drove us away from
the oar on which we were pulling with
Charlie Bonner, and we took to the
shanty. Being only a passenger we
concluded we had earned our dinner
and ride, and so didn't come out again
until it had ceased raining, which was
not until the raft bad nearly reached
the City, where it tied up for the
night.
While in tho city we made several
new acquaintances, among which were
Mr. J. M. CJro6h, whom everybody rec
ognizes ns the popular ticket agent, a
position he has filled for many years
with credit to himself and the best of
satisfaction to the company and the
traveling public.
That host of hosts W. II. Roth, of
the National Hotel, better known
"Bill" Roth, was another of our uew
acquaintances. No one ever stopped
at his hotel and went away dissatis
fied with the hospitalities or attention
shown them. He is a great lover of
the rod and gun, as one can see at a
glance, while passing his place and
gazing at the numeious specimens of
game so tastefuily exhibited. When
iu Oil City stop at the National, and
our word fur it you will be well cared
fur.
Having a little business at Supt.
Wilson's office we called there and
found his clerk, Mr. E. H. Witter at
our service, ready to accommodate and
answer all questions in a roost gentle
manly manner. While there we also
met Mr. C. B. Evans, whose acquaint
ances we made some timo ago at the
pigeon" roost on Little Tionesta. Mr
Evans is a brother-in-law of Supt.
Wilson, and his confidential clerk.
He is passionately fond of gunning,
and promises to come up and take a
huut on the first good tracking now.
At Mayer's establishment we met
Mr. Ulrich, who lakes delight in
showing visitors around, not forget
ting tho "bottling works," underneath
the store. For fear some of our read
ers might not understand what the
bottling works are, we will state that
that is where beer is taken from the
keg and put into p.ttent bottles, of
which process we might give a descrip
tion but for lack of space and time.
Suffice it to say, it is done very rapid
ly. Mr. Ulrich informed us that they
managed to keep up to their orders
except wLjn the Derrick force lit down
on them, which frequently put them
several days behindhand.
It is ueedless to say that Oil Cuy
was "booming," for with oil at a do!
.lar aud rapidly advancing how could
it be otherwise. Every oue you met
seemed to wear a pleasant smilo and
have an air of satisfaction about there
that betowkened their hearty appreci
ation of the return of good times. Oil
City has always been and will continue
to be the hub of oildom.
We learned last week of tho death
of Mr. Wm. Patterson of Howe town
ship, which occurred on tbe 13th of
October, 1879. Mr. Patterson settled
in Forest couoty, (Ihen Jefferson)
about 45 years ago, and was, therefore,
one of the earliest pioneers. He built
a house of cherry timber, with a cherry
puncheon floor, in which he lived until
his death, his nearest neighbor being
about four miles distant at the time of
his death.- He was a soldier of 1812,
and was always very highly respected
by his acquaintances aud ueighbors.
He was the father in-law of our old
friend and patron Thomas Porter. Mr.
Patterson was 86 years old wheu he
died, and during his life passed through
many scenes and incidents which
would make an interesting chapter
were they written up. Peace to his
ashas.
The heavy rains of laft week were
a boom to our lumbermen. All the
lumber lit th uouth of the creek
nearly four million feet was run to
marked As the price has advanced
about three dollars on a thousand the
lumbermen have cause to feel elated.
It will be the means of setting several
thousand dollars alio at iu this county
during the coming winter, and the
effects of the great business boom will
be felt here as well as iu other locali
ties. 'J lie hard times are at an end in
this country, aud wo have reason to
believe that no man who wants it need
be out of work any length of tiuie.

-A new time table went into effect
on the P. T. & B. R., en Mondayubut

change, which is slight, is only tem
porary and the table will probably be
changed again in a week or two.

The Brook villo Republican says:
"The prospects of a large business in
the woods this winter continues, and
already a number of jobs have com
menced. AVe understand that an ad
vance will be allowed workmen iu
their wages generally, which seems to
be fair, the indications being that
lumber will be worth an advance of
three to five dollars per thousand next
season." The same suggestions may
be applied to this couuty. If lumber
is going to be worth from $3 to 5
more iu the' spring it is but fair that
there should be an advance iu wages.
We quote the following from a
private letter to a citizen of this place,
from a prominent leader in the Re
publican party : "We do not think it
strange that the Greenbackers carried
this county, because our county is so
isolated from the general current of
our nation's political doings, that it
was in ignorance that the grand old
Republican party had carried every
thing, and that the Greenback party
filled it's own grave, which it dug a
year ago. We think ere long our
Forest county Greenback friends will
"see the orror of their ways," and wilh,
with humility of spirit and great peni
tence, return to their father's bouse,
(the Republican party), but will not
be received as the 'Prodigal of Old
t. e., the fatted calf will not be killed."
Morris Einstein had bad luck
with his lumber which he slatted for
Pittsburgh last Friday morning.
Judge Dale had run the raft as far as
Big Sandy and landed it safely.
Charley McCray came along with a
raft just at dusk, and in attempting to
land knocked Einstein's raft loose
which went on down the river with
but three men and one oar to guide it.
It soon became so dark that the men
coul 1 do nolhiug with the raft, and
striking Foxburg piers about mid
night it broke into a half dozen pieces,
leaving the men scattered about on
the different pieces. Seeing they could
do no more with it, aud that their
lives were in iminent danger, the men
jumped off leaving the lumber go to
sticksf The raft contained about
175,000 feet of lumber, of which oue
half may be saved. One of the men
was obliged to ewim ashore, and nar
rowly escaped drowning.
Tbe "Life and Travels of General
U. S. Grant," by llou. J. T. Headley,
i3 one of the finest books now being
offered to tho American people. It
furnishes a' complete history of one of
the greatest men now living; also an
account of his recent "Journey Arouud
the World." It is a book of nearly
900 pages, giving a large number of
beautiful illustrations of battle scenes,
and views of tho most interesting
points of his tour. This book should
be in every family that cau possibly
afford it, as it is hardly probable that
auother opportunity to procure such a
complete history of one of America's
most illustrious generals and states
men will ever present itself again.
Mr. John Heath, of Star P. O.,
has the agency for this county. He
has just finished delivering the first
order, and will soon commence can

of course, the colored fashion plates

these are uo exception. Then there is
a pattern in Berlin work for ottoman,
chair seat, etc., which is one of the
finest we have ever seen. The princi

It seems that this place has been
slighted for some time past by your
correspondents, but the fact is we still
exist. -
We hear of the great business boom
that is waving over the country, but it
does not wave over this section very
proudly, and we feel none of its bene
fits as yet.
Suppose you have heard we have
had an election in Harmony; if so,
you noticed that the great National
Greenback wave did not strike us
hard in this neck of woods.
We were glad to see that you
noticed the loss sustained by Mr.
Deruun and family. Mr. Demun is
one of our most industrious citizens,
and his loss falls heavily upon him.
They had, by hard labor, furnished
their house both tastily and comforta
bly, and had plenty laid by for the
whiter, but they are like Burn's mouse
turned out without house or home.
But kind hearts were opened to them,
and they will soon be all living
together, ready to give a hearty wel
come to all their friends who sympa
thized aud aided them. We say that
aid given them is worthily bestowed.
The Wesleyaus have services in their
church every four weeks, by Rev. Jas.
Spear. Services in the school house
ouce in two weeks by Re,v. Martiu ;
he is a new man for iu.
Our school is presided over by Miss
Kerr who gives good satisfaction.
C. E. Jjanders teaches the Alleuder
school.
Rufe Copeland has falleu beir to
the old homestead, and we see he is
planting a young orchard, and mak
ing some substantial improvements.
Artemus Handy is buying out the
other heirs and fixing up the old farm,
I guess, for a pernancnt home.
J.-J. Range has out quite a large
amount of wheat, which is looking
well.
Jno Thompson is improving slowly.
He is not as active as he was before
his sickness.
Some of our old neighbors .that
moved to Kansas some years ago write
that this year they have had a most
splendid harvest and got good prices.
They feel quite elated over their suc
cess. "Killin"' time will soon bo here. If
you want pork steak and "sassage"
come out this way, and you will be
treated to buckwheat cakes and Bass
age till you can't rest.
Soma of our boys thought they
would kill a few deer while the snow
Isted, just foi family use, but not a
deer did they get. They are scarce
on this side of the river.
Would it not be a beuefit to the
farmers of Foiest county to organize
an Agricultural Society to meet and
compare experiments, and sometime
'in the future hold a Fair and see what
we can produce? Other counties have
such institutions; why not Forest?
What say you, farmeis? Jit can bo
done; all we want is this thing agita
ted a little to insure its surcess.

There is quite an excitement among
the excitable over the finding, of a'
stone which resembles a human arm
and part of the hand. Some aver that
it's a petrefied arm of some "big injun,"
while others thiuk it is petrified wood
the latter I think is correct. It is
evidently part of a limb or the trunk
of a fur Palm, of which numerous
specimcus are found iu this locality.

The December number of Bal
lou's Magnziue is just issued, and
makes a very handsome appearance iu
its new form, new type, rules, head
lines, and engraving. It is the best
number that was ever issued, with
heavy white paper, wider columns,
and all that goes to make up a first
class monthly. The patrons of tho
magazine will be delighted, and those
who have not seeu it for some time
should procure a copy, and then sub
scribe, or buy it regular at the news
depots. In the December number is a
piece of music which is worth more
than the price of the magazine, and
will be a great favorite with piano
forte players and vocalists. Published
