A goodly number of good-looking bircli-wiclders are expected to be present. Mr. J. II. Bowman well and favorably known to the most of our citizens, spent a few days in town last week. He is looking well. Messrs. Robinson and Dingman report the first good bag of pigeons this season, having brought in about 50 from the roost on Monday night. But fiv days more and you can lay away that little "Winchester." No more deer-slaying after that; and don't you let it escape your memory. Tho Clarion Democrat announces Dr. II. T. Helmbald as a dead beat. That's what we thought whejj we re fused to publish his Buchuvadverti&e ment without getting cash down Spectator. Ditto. Judge Ketcham, of the U. .S? Court, Western district, died of apo plexy in Pittsburgh last Sunday morn ing. It can truly be said of Judge Ketcham that he was a man of unus ual ability and strict entegrity. As will be seen by notice in this issue, there will be no court on the fourth Monday of this month, and jurors are notified not to attend. It seetaa there is not sufficient business to justify the expenditures uoceeaary for hcldiug a court. Hon. N. P. Wheeler and wife de parted ior Cincinnati on Wednesday last to attend the funeral of Capt. Alexander Smith, Mrs. Wheeler's father, who died in Florida, havirjg gone thither to recruit his health. We are without particulars. Pigeons were quite lively last week, but not a great many were killed. It is said they are occupying their old roost on Little Tionesta. If the weather remains open and warm they will increase rapidly in the next week or two, and we can look for good sport among them once more. Mr. Dingman lost a 3-bladed pearl-handled knife somewhere be tween his residence, on Water Street, aud his office opposite the Lawrence House. Any one finding the same will confer a favor and be liberally rewarded by returning it to Mr. Dingman. f . Orris Walters was bound over to court by Esquiro Breunan, on Satur day last, in the sum of $150, on a charge of assault and battery, on oath of Geo. W. Mealy. Also, in the sum of $300 for participating in an affray, which is said to have occurred three weeks ago, in the Mealy Settlement. Rev. O. B. Clark has received the appointment of Grand District Deputy I. O. G. T., of the district composed of Niagara, Erie, Cataraugus, Chautau qua, Allegheny and Wyoming counties in New York.

It is rumored that Morris Ein stein has becotoe converted and ac cepted the Christian faith, at least he was baptized by immersion on Mon day afternoon, at the mouth of the creek, and if it hadn't been for some benevolent bystanders who pulled him out, he'd probably "died in the faith." Geo. Hunter wishes to inform the public that, having lately put his grist mill in splendid tunning order, he is prepared to do any amount of grinding on short notice. Parties going to and from the mill will have free passage over the bridge. Mr. Hunter warrants his grinding to give entire satisfaction. There will be a shooting match for turkeys at Wm. Heath's place, on Dutch Hill, next Saturday, 13th inst. Any amount of fat turkeys will be on hand, so that you can hardly miss get ting one if you attend. If you haven't already got your Christmas turkey this will be a good place to get it, and who would be without a turkey, on Christmas? Rev. H. II. Hoffman, who has heretofore preached for the Reformed congregation on Dutch Hill, and who assisted Rev. Elliott at the Presbjteri au Church, in ihis place, on one or two occasions, died suddenly at his home, in Monroeville, Clarion Co., on the 27 tb, ult. Ho was very highly esteemed by everybody in his neigh borhood, and wherever he was known. Mr. Lawrence will give his cus tomary ball on the coming New Year's night. Of course the music on this occasion will be one of the principal features of the affair, as in the past. The tickets will be much less than usual, which will doubtless he the cause of drawing a much larger crowd than heretofore. Altogether the affair promises to be a success, and those who attend can rest assured of a pleasant time. Our raflmen have been blessed with another flood both in the creek and river during the past week, enab ling them to get out about all the lumber that was left back from the last freshet, a considerable portion of which had been stuck along the creek between here and Lacytown. Two "Alleghenies" of Ford & Lacy's lumber "tied loose" on Monday, with Nelt. Cole and Wm. Felton as pilots Jas. Ilaggarty contractor. The Tidioute News says: "Mr. James Green of Hickory, was prostrat ed by a stroke of paralysis, Tuesday evening last. For a month or two symptoms of the attack have shown themselves, without their danger being apprehended. Tuesday after noon Dr. Freeman went down to see him, and after a careful study of the case, announced- to his friends that Mr. Green was liable to a sudden attack. Aud while the Doctor was yet there the shock came. The right side is completely paralyzed and he lies in a comatose state, paying no attention to anything. That be will rally from the attack can hardly be expected, owing to his years and the severity of tho 6hock." We learn from his son Mr. John Green, that his father was somewhat better on Sunday last, and that there were some hopes of his par tial recovery, unless another shock should take place. Andrew Tracy expiated his ter rible crime on the gallows in the Sroetbport, McKean Co., jail on Thursday last. As is generally the case in such affairs the job was a most bungled one, the doomud man having literally been hung twice. The Der rick gives the following particulars of tho sickening affair: "Precisely at 1:45 the Sheriff severed tho rope that held the drop upon which Tracy was standing, and he fell with an awful thud. The kuot had not been tied perfectly aud the weight of the body caused it to slip out, and the prisoner fell through the drop striking the stone floor, a distance of seven feet. Something like a groan went up from the spectators at this unexpected hor rible accident. Tracy struck on his feet, but in a second, his arms and legs being tied, toppled over on his head and struck the hard wall, relaps ing into insensibility. The sheriff and the attendants rushed up, caught him and raised him to his feet. Recover ing his sense), Tracy exclaimed, "I forgive all my enemies," continuing to repeat the litany of his religion. While adjusting the rope a second time be fainted again, and was launched into eternity unconscious of the means used. This time the neck was broken by the fall, the only indi cation of feeling being the slight con traction of the limbs. The heart stopped beating in six minutes after, making sixteen minutes in all. None of the relatives were present at the exectution." ScrofuU of thirty years' standing has been cured by "Dr. Lindsey's Blood Searcher." Sold by all drug gists. For sale by Bovard, 37-2t. ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY. A Daring Attempt to Burglarize May, Park & Co.'s Bank. Yesterday morning at the usual hour, as Mr. Kelly entered the Bank and walked into the room wheie the safe stands he was astonished to find the outside door broken open and a lot of implements scattered about pro miscuously on the floor. Upon exam ination it was found that the outer door of the Bafe had been pried open with iron wedges about 7 inches in length, one of which was yet fas tened in the door. The small rivets with which tho door-plates are fastened, were evidently cut with a cold-chisel. Theso plates were pried open sufficiently to allow the burglars to force tbe large bolls bock, allowing the door to swing open. Thus the first doors of the safe were opened, and oce obstacle over come. An attempt was evidently made to go through the second doors by out side force, as one of the handles was br6ken off, but being unable to work to as good advantage on them they apparently abandoned it, and under took to blow the doors open with powder. A hole was drilled through the top of the safe, back of the second doors, into which powder had been poured and touched off with fuse, some pieces of which were found in the room. From the appearance of things a considerable cbargo tnuBt have been used, ns the doors wero so badly bulged as to make it impossible to turn the combination, and the inside of the first doors were considerably blackened and marred by the burnt powder as it oozed out of (he crevices. Up to this writing Mr. Kelly has been unable to open the door, aud cannot tell what damage has been done on the inside. Of. course the money and valuables are all right, being deposited in tbe back part of the safe, which ia secured by a burglar proof box and locks, and it is evident the thieves did not get the second doors open so as to reach this box. Had they been successful in getting the second doors open, their work would have only begun, as it would be impossible to effect an eotiauce to the burglrr-proof box. The burglars were not entire strangers, it would seem, as they knew where to get tools to work with. A sledge-hammer, a bit-brace and monkey-wrench belonging to Blum's blacksmith shop were found ; and a crowbar, two iron wedges, and a round piece of J-iuch steel, sharpened at one end, and a ring bent on the other end, evidently newly made, were also found in the room ; no one seems to recog nize these tools. The half inch drill with which the hole was beared must have ben a loug and slender one, aud been made for the occasion, as the hole is over a foot deep. This tool could not be found. The entrance to the bank was effected by hoisting a window in the rear of the building. The" thieves probably left their work unfinished on account of the approach of day, as they no doubt were late getting commenced, several citizens having been in the vicinity as late as 11 o'clock, who saw or heard nothing unusual. A gentleman passed the Ceutral House, opposite tho bank, about 1 o'clock, but saw or heard nothing. Tracks made by rubbers were discovered about tbe premises. Messrs. Doutt and Raisig who have their room over the blacksmith shop say they heard a slight noise in the shop some time during ftunday night, but, listening and hearing nothing more,they paidTw further attention to it. As Mr. Blum missed his sledge on Mouday morning it is just possible the burglars stole it at that tine, intend ing to make the attempt on Sunday night. The whole affair is yet a mystery, and wo have heard no surmises as to who the perpetrators could have been, there having been na suspicious char acters lurking about for the past tow days that any of our citizsns know of. Mr. Kelly has dispatched for an ex perienced mechanic, who will proba bly be here to-day aud open the Later. Since the above was in type U has been discovered that the knob or handle of the outer door was broken off, and sufficient powder in serted to cause the plates to bulge out enough to allow a wedge or crowbar to enter. The same plan was tried with the second doors, but the handle had broken off too close to the edge to allow any powder to enter, conse quently they were obliged to drill the hole through tbe top. A limb struck Jim McClintock on the bridge of the nose yesterday, -while getting out stave bolls, breaking it (the nose) and blacking both his eyes. This makes the third time that same nose has been broken, and Jim thinks it's getting sort o' monotonous. An accident occurred on the A. V. R. R., opposite Reno, between Oil City and FrankMn, on Saturday morn ing last. The mixed train which leaves Pittsburgh at 8:50 and arrives in Oil City at 5:50, struck a land-slide, causing eight freight cars and the lo comotive to jnmp the track and roll down the embankment. The fireman, Arthur Simpson, was instantly killed. The engineer and forward brakeraau were both slightly injured. Quite a number of passengers were on board, but as none of the pasnenger cars left tbe track, no one was injured beyond a good sbaking-up. This is the first serious accident this road has sustained for several years, it having been very fortunate in this respect, owing no doubt to its guod management. , Miss Burley, teacher of the Mor risdale Mines school, and a cousin of Miss Melissa Burley, last week met with a full fledged pugilist in the per son of one ot her female scholars. Miss Burley had occasion to correct the girl who was old enough to be a young lady and approached her to force compliance with her command, but the girl, her intention not having beeu diviaed by Miss Burley, rose up in her seat and struck square from the shoulder, knocking the teacher down, and upon tho attempt of the latter to get up, repeated the operation, felling her senseless to the floor. She was at once carried to her boarding place and a physician summoned, and at last accounts was not able to be out of bed. Iltr assailant was arrested and placed under bail. Clearfield Journal. A social club. If such a society were to canvas its members, and they in turn carry on tho work of introduc ing the Home Cook Book, we would feci that cookery was soo.i to be all that health could possibly wish, or tbe palate crave. Right here we will say that the publisher, Mr. J. Fred. Wag goner, Chicago, is desirous of securing a worthy and intelligent agent in this vicinity, to whom liberal pay is prom ised ; and this pamphlet, "Practical Hints on Canvassing," specially adapted to this book, is mailed to all applicauts. -Peterson's Magazine for January is already out, and a magnificent num ber it is : a triumph of art, literature and fashion. The principal steel en graving, ''A Message from the Sea," is one of rare beauty. It and its companion, "The Runaway Pair," which illustrates a ctory by Frank Lee Benedict, are alone worth the price of the number. The double-size, colored, steel fashion plate is unri valed, and will fuscinate all the ladies. Then there is a largo colored pattern, in Art needlework, a really superb affair. By all means subscribe for this Magazine for 1880. It is both the cheapest and best of its kind. The price is only two dollars a year. Address Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.

One of the inont euergetic and suc cessful operator? of the Venango re gions is at work in the oil fields of Forest County, as the extensive opera tions of Dr. Shr.rnburg on tbe Fogle aud Manross farms iu Harmony town ship amply attest. In that section he is pumping some thing like a dozen wells, with a yield, it is said, of about 1500 barrels per month. It is said ho is projecting other wells to be located scientifically from the wells at present in operation. His machinery and fixtures are first class in style, and from his past suc cess and intelligent search for oil nothing but a bright future for his operations can be predicted. Under his management the barren bills of the West Hickory and McArthur run valley will bud and blossom as the rose. He is doing a great work for Forest ss well as for himself.
