The hunting season for all kinds
of game is now over and those who
indulge in the sport now will be sub

ago we heard of quite a number of
black squirrels having been seen aud
several killed in this viciuily. They'd
better not get too "fresh" about here or
our sports might enact a little hunting
season of their own and slay some of
the blood thirsty cusses.
On Sunday morning the 28th ult,
Rev. Elliott preached the funeral ser
mon of Harlem Adams, whose death
occurred in Bradford on December 1st.
It was one of those beautiful and
touching sermons for which he is so
famouf, and was listened to with pro
found interest by a very large congre
gation of the friends of the deceased.
In the evening of the same day he
preached bis last regalar sermon to
the peeple of Tionesta. His other
charge, Sugar Grove, Fa., Laving re
ceived a dowery by which it is ena
bled to pay a minister a sufficient
salary to keep him all bis time, has
issued a call to Rev. Elliot demand
ing his entire services at that place.
He has promised, however, to preach
here whenever he can make it conven
ient. During Mr. Elliot's ministry in
this place upward of five years he
has made hosts of friends and admirers
who are loth to see him depart, and
who will always be glad to listen to
him whenever he may return to preach
to tbsm. He has ever expounded the
gospel to his congregation in this
place In a fearless and straightforward
manner, regardless of where or whom
it hit. His text on this occasion was
a very appropriate one, being recorded
in Acta, 20th chap, and 27th verse:
"For I have not shunned to declare
unto you all the counsel of God."
Those who are acquainted with Rev.
Elliot, and bve listened to bis preach
ing can imagine with what force he
would handle the subject. We hope
that Providence may so will it that we
snail be able to listen to him frequent
ly, now that we are debarred of his
regular services.
For the past five or six weeks
Mr. Jas. Huddleson, who lives on
JamieBon Run, about three miles from
this place, has been suffering untold
agouiea from what is termed a "blood
cancer," which commenced in the
nose, and is rapidly spreading and
forking into the throat. He has had
it operated upon but the operations
have done hitn no good, and unless he
gets relief soon he cannot survive. Mr.
II.'s finaucial circumstances will not
permit of his going to the expense of
procuring such treatment as his case
calls for, and in consequence some of
bis neighbors have been circulating a
subscription paper to get the best of
skill to operate upon him. We believe
nearly everybody to whom the paper
was presented subscribed something,
we heard of but one exception and as
soon as he is able to be moved he will
be taken away for treatment. We
hope with his many frienda that he
may soon get relief and be once more
mtored to his usual health.
,r, t. B. O. Sullivan lied very
suduculy on Saturday Dec. 27th. Her
husband went West some time last
spring to seek a location, leaving her
with several children. Shortly after
his departure one of his creditors to
whom he had given a note sold nearly
all his household goods, together with
some grain and articles of food which
had been left for the sustenance of the
family. This left them in very des
titute circumstances, and they have
been dependant almost entirely on
their neighbors for the necessaries of
life. Their home was about three
miles from this place, on Hunter's Run,
near Capt. Clark's place. We have
not learned how the children have
been cared for, but presume they will
be provided for by the proper author
ities. Mr. L. Agnew retired from the
management of the Central House on
Jan. 1st, and Mr. T. C. Jackson
assumed control. Mr. Agnew will
remove to Oil Creek Lake, near Ti
tusville, in the course of a few months,
where he has rented a hotel. ' The
place has gained quite a reputation as
a summer resort, and next season en
deavors will be made to bring it still
more into public notice. There being
but one hotel in the place, Mr. A. will
no doubt reap a nice harvest, which
his numerous friends will be glad to
learn. Mr. Jackson's reputation as a
landlord is established, and any rec
ommendation from us is unnecessary.
That he will keep a first-class house
no one will doubt who kuo.ws him.
The J)errick' Calendar Supple
ment is a good thing. Besides the
large figures giving the day of the
month it has small figures iudicating
the day of the year. It contains a
synopsis of the postal laws, rates Ao.,
the price of oil each day during the
year 1879, aud other good information .
We have pasted it upon the wall and
can readily tell ti e day of the month
across the room, so plain aro the
figures.
The Holidays passed ofT very
quietly in this place. There were no
unusual demonstrations, and what is
particularly gratifying, there was very
little if any drunkeonees. The dance
given by Mr. Agnew, at the Central
House on Christmas Eve, was well
attended and a complete success. The
dancing room was not as large as
might have been wished, yet we believe
all who attended came away satisfied
that they had got their share of
dancing. The'suppei was a most
sumptious one, and received the praise
of every one present. On New Yoars
night a dance was given at Partridge's
Hall, whi ch was attended bv a number
of young folks from far and near, who
enjoyed themselves hugely.
We cheerfully direct attention to
the new card of S. II. Haslet & Sons,
dealers in General Merchandise, which
appears in another column. This firm
has just started a new store in the fine
Urge room lately occupied by Derick
son & Co., and known as Haslet's cor
ners. We dropped in there the other
day and were agreeably . surprised to
find the shelves all filled with the
nicest and freshest of goods, all taste
fully arranged. . Mr. Haslet is well
'known to nearly every resident of the
county, many of whom used to deal
with him years ago. All thee and
many more will be glad to bear that
he has again embarked in busiuess,
and will take pleasure in patronizing
thS new firm. Give them a call and see
what a nice lot of goods they display.
Everything will be sold at bottom
prices.
While in Oil City during the hol
idays and having considerable time on
our hands we took occasion to look
into fome of the principal business
houses of the city, .and among them
the dry goods establishments. We
found them all busy and apparently
reaping good harvests ; but the Queen
of them all was the establishment of
G. W. Milford. His room extends
from Centre to Sycamore street, and
is filled to overflowing with everything
pertaining to the dry goods line. Some
of the fiuest dress goods, trimmings,
silks, sa tips, sacks, dolmans, hosiery
&c, we ever laid eyes on met our gaze
while strolling through his store.
Upon inquiry as to how business was
Mr. M. said they were never so rushed
with custom than they had been dur
ing the jyesent season, and if business
kept on increasing he would be obliged
to call in nioie help. When asked
how his prices compared with others
he replied that he defied any estab
lishment in Western Pennsylvania to
sell goods-cheaper than he; that he
had goods at prices to suit everybody.
Whenever any of our ladies are in
Oil City, they ;hould not fail to call at
his place, if for nothing else than to
feast their eyes on the many elegant
articles of wearing apparel he has in
store. We feel confident they will
be well satisfied and repaid for the
trouble.

Our Christmas passed off "all right."
Christmas Eve Santa Claus visited us
in our Hall, coming down into an old
fashioned fire place and making the
children happy.
The programme that was gotten up
for Christmas night to conclude with
the "Dutchmans Ghost" fell through
on accdunt of the sudden departure of
one or two of the members of the
society to spend Christmas at their
parents' home. However, we were not
to be put out ; we got up an impromptu
performance and bad a good, jolly
time. The sketch entitled, "A Dear
Lamb," on New Years was a rich
treat, and provoked much laughter
and merriment. Mrs. Reid kindly
consented to fill tho part of "Mrs. Bur
pie," in "The Dutchman's Ghost," and
the play passed off very handsomely.
The by-word here to-day is "It's all
right." Our people thiuk it was the
best performance we have yet hud.
The Maude Oswald troupe are to be
here to-morrow night, (Saturday, 3d
inst.,) and play Kathleen Ma Vour
neen. It promises to be a rare treat.
Yours, Jones.

Christmas at East Hickory.
The Holidays passed off pleasantly
in this valley. The M. E. Sunday
School, Mr. George Warden Sopf,
Mr. Phil Long Asis't Supt., Mr. and
Mrs. N. P. Wheeler, Mrs. Williams
and Mr. and Mr. Henderson, Teach
ers, gave a Christmas Tree entertain
ment on the eveuing of the 2-5lh,
which proved to be an enjoyable affair,
judging from the bright faces and
happy looks ol he chilJreu. Every
scholar received a useful precent, con
sisting of a hood, mittens, or leggins,
besides pictures for the girls, dolls and
toys for the little ones, and knives and
school companions for the boys. Candy
bags and oranges were also'distributed
to the school. The church was taste
fully decorated with evergreens and
Florida moss. Tho motto "Merry
Christmas" in green, with a large star
above it, crowned the arch back of the
pulpit, while those beautiful words of
the angel chorus, "Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace good
will to meu" appeared in black letters
on either side of the arch; crosses, fes
toons &c, filled the blank spaces, and
three hemlock trees gaily lighted held
the gifts. There was singing by the
school, recitations by several scholars,
responsive scripture readings, and last,
but not least, the distribution of the
presents. Much praise is due to the
members of the Christmas Tree Socie
ty, who for months have worked dili
gently fashioning the hoodb and mit
tens for so many heads and hands.
The school has had an average at
tendance, for the year of 39, which is
a prettj good average when you con
sider the bad weather and long dist
ance for many to come.
The Free Methodists also have a
Sabbath 6thool in their church near
by which is well attended by young
and old of their congregation.
The warm wet weather is good for
sawing at the miUs but not very fa
vorable for timber jobbers, who would
rather see fine sleighing for their busi
ness. Veeitas.

Neil I town Notes.
Christmas has come and gone ; New
Year has followed, ns usual, and we
dale our letters 1880. Apropos of
Christmas, our friends at Carsouville
commemorated the day in the enjoy
ment of a Christmas Tiee. We were
not present but understand from those
who were there 'twas a nice affair.
Mr. Bowman's heart was made glad
and his house filled by the presence of
a goodly number of his friends Christ
mas. Hospitably and good cheer
seemed to prevail and great was the
number who invited and were invited
"out to dinner." May we live to
enjoy another "Christmas tide," e'en
as good.
New Year passed off very quietly.
The "Dime tociety" met at Mr.
Joseph McCaslin's on New Year's eve,
and out of respect to the memory of
the Old Year and in honor to the New
did not adjourn until 12 ni., had been
indicated by all well regulated time
pieces.
Wo are sorry to learn that Mr.
Bowman contemplates leaving our
village ; ho has sold his stock and
feed and thinks he will go about the
first of April. Maybe do well, not
forget his mauy friends here, and find
many more in his new bomo.
Mr. Park Black is with us again.
Mr. Jas. Penncl baa left us ; he has
