Our Holiday week has once more put in an appearance, and in coime- quenco we shall give our long-suffering subscribers a rest, promising 'not to inilict our presence upon them again during the year 1879. The country printer needs rest just the s,arae as common people just the eauie as people who have to work for a living, as it were, and during the holidays ts tho right time to take it, when everything and everybody is gay and fe.nive, audlhey are the least missed. The man who invented the custom must have had this fact in view. Let him, like the man who invented sleep, be blest. Our office will be open all week for the transaction of business, aud we shall be pleased to sec any of our partrons who may call on us, et cetera. Our next paper will be issued Jaa. 7, 1880. Wfa wish you all a Merry Christmas and ' Happy New Year. Merry Christmas! Mr. J. T. Dale returned home from Bradford last evening, intending to spend the holidays hew. A nice neck-tie, a 6ilk handker chief, or a book are suitable presents for a gentleman. Ex. Ahem I It is safe to predict 'that wo will not have a "green christmas" this year. But wo come "pesky" near it, though. Mrs. Ann Stow, of Cincinnati, is here on a visit to her daughter, aud son-in law, Dr. Blaine. She is looking well as usual. -Arc yon going to the party at the Central House this evening 1 It's going to be a very pleasant aflbir, and those who attend will have n gay time. Messrs. Orion and Hood Biggins were in town on Monday. Allegheny College must agree with Hood, he was looking so well. His brother, Jim, is also home ou vacation. The Week of Prayer begins ou the first Sunday in the New Year, being the 4th ult. Whether or not it will lie observed in this place we have not learned. The unabridged SI. 00 edition of Crudeu's Concordance, some time eiuce auuouuced as in preparation by the American Book Exchangs, New York is just ready. To-night the little folks must hang up their stocking if they expect Simla Cluua around. The maiden with a hole in her stocking will darn it now if never; before. Just a lilllo more snow and we'd have tip-top sleighing. Even now it is fair in some places. What a nice thing 'twould be to have a nico run during the holidays. Mr. Dithridge's public sale in the Partridge building is in progress every afternoon and evening. It's the place to go for bargains. Kead the adver tisement in another column. The revival meeting in the M. E. Church at this place, and at Hunter's Station, we understand, are attended with very fair success for the- short time they have betn in progress. Mr. J. C. Dayton, of Troy, N. Y., who is quite largely interested in For est county real estate, aud who is stopping in town for a few days, paid us a very pleasant call yesterday. Surveyor D. V. Claik with a posse of chain carriers wus engaged all last week running the line of the D. C. Spooner tract near Bear Creek. It'i quite a job aud will probably take another week to finish. The Library Magazine of select foreign literature is to bo increased to 192 pages monthly, and the type en larged, for 1380. American Book Ex chauge, New York. $1.00 a year. Oue week from to-morrow and the girls will bo at perfect liberty to ask the gents to go sleigbridiug, to accompany them to bulls, dances, &c, pay all bills, and do the honors gen erally.

Sunday afteruoou, Cora, youngest daughter of George and Julia Dimond, of Siverly ville, Pa., ftl 1 into a tub of scalding water aud was terribly burned that she died Monday a,fter ncoo at thiee o'clock. President Judge Wetmore, with Associates Dale and' Kerr, held nn. Argument Court on Monday of this week. Nothing of general importance was transacted.. The regular Febru ary term, it is thought, will be a large court. A large boat is moored a short distance above town, containing five families bound for the west. They are from Forest county. Emlcnten Regis ter. Must be some mistake about this. We have heard of no families leaving this couuty ir. this way. We have received a very hand somely gotteu up book entitled "On the lload to Riches," published by J. Fred Waggoner, Chicago. It contaius many valuable hints and suggestions to young tneu just starting out in bus iness, aud would be au excellent book for every young man in the country. We had a pleasaut call from Mr. A. W. Cook, of Cooksburg, this couuty, and S.im. W. Calvin Esq., one of the legal lights of Clarion, who is a partner of Hon. Wm. Corbet, well known to our citizens. They were accompanied by Mr. It. S. Macbeth, Judge Cook's book-keeper. Call again gentlemen. Mr. Jno. Hart, of the firm of Grove, Hart & Co., returned from Bradford last Saturday, smiling all over. They have just finished their fourth well in the Tram Hollow dis trict, and it was spouting at the rate of 55 barrels when he left. Their many well-wishers in this placo Will be happy to hear this. Probably the largest.hog ever killed in Foiest couuty was brought to town last week by C. F. Cropp ; it weighed 410 pounds dressed. Another weigh ing 375 pounds was killed by Fred. Lomyer, of Dutch Hill. These are fine specimens, and no doubt would take. the premium at tho couuty fair if we had the fair. A counterfeit $'20 legal tender note of series 1878, letter c, is in cir culation. Tho following description will guide you when such bills come to you. The engraving is blurred, and words Register of Treasury, under Al lisou, are crooked. The words Treas urer of the U. S. are irregular. Clar ion Republican. The editor talks as though he had seen lots of twenty dollar bills. Business must be booming on Bates Run these days. Mr. Avery has a large contract of getting out bolts for the new stave mill of Derick soh & Co. Je has sub-contracted part of the job, and about 30 men are now at work and are creating sad hovec with the white oak timber. Messrs. Noble & Carson have several meu at work on a job near the same place,aud some eight or ten men are bossed by 11. E. Moody. When these parties get through with that truct of timber there will be hardly enough left to tell the story. The time table of the P. T. & B. R. R., will be found corrected in this issue, and can be relied upon for accuracy. The present schedule is trie moat convenient for parties in this vicinity that we have ever had. During a conversation with Supt. Wil son one day last week he spoke very encouragiugly of the future prospects of the Road. It is evident from the way the road has been managed since he assumed control that he has studied the wants and conveniences of the public, and has admirably succeeded in supplying those wants. Mr. Wilson is one of the pleasantestand most agree able geutlemen we have ever met, and his winning and urbane manner is making him hosts of friends all along the line. Long may he superintend the P. T. & B. Our thanks are due to Messrs. Ssybolt and Reid, managers of the Brookstoa Dramatic Society, for an invitation to a Christmas entertain ment to be given by that society. The performance is. to consist of vocal and instrumental music, and conclude with the farce entitled "The Dutchman's Ghost; or, All Right,'- with the fol lowing characters : R. Hoffman as Haus Barth ; M. M. Seybolt as Iltnry Scliael ; B. D. McClure as Mr. Burple ; F. De Alvers as Charley ; Mrs. Mc Clure as Mrs. Burple ; Mrs. Seybolt as Catherine. We have heard tho performances of this company very highly complimented by individuals who have witnessed their entertain ments aud would bo pleased to accept the invitation were it not bo far to go. Why cau't our friends come down some time during the winter und give us a performance? We'll guarantee tbeoi a good bouse if they coino. OBITUARY. Of the late Capt. Alexander Smith, father of tho wife of lion. N. P. Wheeler, the Cincinnati Daily Gazette has the following sketch: Capt.
