The Republicans of Crawford county have chosen delegates- to the state convention and instructed them for James G. Blaine. Mrs. Samuel Einstein, and daughter, Miss Florence, who have spent most of the winter in Philadel phia, returned yesterday. Mr. II. M. Irwin and wife, of Franklin, are in town on a visit to S. D.

Davy Ililands, Bacon, and "Dad." Hulings packed up their nets, "stool ers," "flyers," etc., aud started for pigeons last week. They have sent in no report as yet, and it is not known with what success they are meeting. The County Commissioners are in sussion this week. Their time is taken up with mailers concerning the trien nial assessment. As will be seen .by Dotico published elsewhere appeals will be held in the different townships during February. --Prof. Peck has organized a Bingiag class in this place, which promises to be a success. The class numbers between forty and fifty members, and is making fine progress under the ac complished professor's tutorship. Meet ings are held twice a week. The Franklin Independent Press entered upon its fifth volume last week. Under Mr. McLauren's editor ial management the Press has won derfully improved, and if kept up for the next five years it will be second to few journals in this country. Capt. Traverset of Union City, Pa , spent a few hours in town on Monday. The Captain owos a very eat boat on Oil Creek Lake, which he runs during the summer season, for the accommodation of excursionists. He is a "hale fellow well met." In viw of the near approach of the spring elections our citizens should be on the alert and endeavor to get the very best men to fill the various of5:es. A good municipal government may not in all instances be 'thing of beauty," but it is certainly "a joy for ft ever. The atmosphere has stiffened up somewhat this morning, but we don't pretend to say how loug this remarka ble 6tate of affairs, for this season of the year, will last. We've known the weather in January to be cold enough for an overcoat, right here in this town. Morris Einetsin is making prep aration to take a trip to the "Fadder land'' soon. He has engaged passage on the 6tcamer which carried Gen. Grant across the pond and will leave in about two weeks. He expects to be absent until next fall, and it's pretty well settled in tho minds of our citizens that Morris will take unto himself a fraulein. Mr. J. W. Ward, of Jetiks twp., was in town yesterday. He tells us that Dr. Towler has the material on the grouud for putting down a well on the head of salmon Creek, at Marien ville. He says the doctor feels confi dent of a strike there, and proposes to give the the territory a thorough test. May his faith aud pluck be rewarded by a big strike. Next Monday, Jan. 2Gth, being the 25th wedding anniversary of Mr, and Mrs. S. J. Wolcott, they will cel ebrate tho event with a silver wedding. Upward of a hundred invitations have been issued, and no doubt a large party will be present, it being the first silver wedding which has ever taken place in Tionesta. Quite a number of our citizens are in Erie this week on business con nected with the contest of the will left by the late Wm. Hunter, r. Upward of a hundred witnesses, clients, law yers, etc., will be in attendance at court, which has been called especially for this case. We understand the estate involves over $100,000, and some of the heirs seem to think there was hardly a fair "divy." A glass of liquor, price ten cents, is consumed in a moment and costs little to produce. On the same table lies newspaper. It is covered with half a million type; It brings intelli gence from the four quarters of the globe. The price of the newspaper is one-half the glass ot stimulant ; but it is none the less true a large number of people think whiskey cheap aod news papers dec r. Ex. Mr. E. E. Clapp, of President, with that promptness which has gained him the implicit confidence of everyone who knows him, dropped into our office last Friday evening and renewed his subscription to the Re publican. No man in Venango County has done more for his section in the way of substautial improve ments than has Ed. Clapp. Men like he are just the ones that ought to have wealth. One might think from the vast amount of staves which havo boen shipped at this station from Tylers burg and vicioity wilhiu the past year that-the timber must be getting scarce, yet in conversation with Mr. Geo. Stephens, who is one of the heaviest manufacturers in this section, he in formed us that he intended driving the business more than ever the coming year, and that his shipments from Tylersburg would not fall short of 1,000,000 staves. A gentleman informed us one day last week that he saw a striug of about a hundred fine large trout, which he supposes had crawled out on the bank of some stream to bask in the sun, when tho wicked wayfarer in whoee possession they were had gobbled 'em up. Certainly this must be the way it was done, as we can hardly believe anyone would be so cruel as to angle the beauties at this season of the year ; besides we hardly tbiuk trout would bite now anyway. In fact we know they won't if you keep at a safe distance. On Saturday last the Road Com mibsioners of Tionesta township let the contract of building a new road from the Huddlcson School house to the Clarion County line, a distance of about three miles. .The contractor, Mr. Samuel Clark, of Hemlock, agrees to put the road throngh according to specifications for $1.50 a rod. We no nothing of the natural advantages which that country possesses, but it strikes us that is a pretty small figure for building a road anywhere. How ever, we hope the contractor may come out all right on his bargain. Jim. Hulings, who went to Atch ison, Kansas, in October last, has sent us quite a curiosity in the shape of a pair of jack-rabbit ears, which for immensity flop over anything we have ever seen in this section, and we've seen some pretty big ears, too. When spread they measure just one foot from tip to tip. These rabbits are said to be quite numerous in some parts of the western couutry; they make fine game for sportsmen, being nearly as large and very much resembling the animal from which they derive their name. Those who have any curiosity are invit ed to call and see them. For a day er two past there has been noticeable among the gentler sex of our town sort of an unusual flutter, or mysterious'air, from which the casu al observer might infer that there's something brewing. Last evening it was whispered about very faintly that there was a leap year party on the tapis, which explains all, and which has caused no little anxiety iu the hearts of some of our young men, for feai the damsels might improve this occasiou to retaliate some of the "slights" inflicted upon them by the said young men on former occasions. The party will no doubt come off if each girl's "pa" can be prevailed upon to come dowa pretty haudsomeiy. -Pursuant to call of the Chairman tho Republican County Committee met at the office of E. L. Davis Esq , on Saturday afternoon last. Ihe meetiug being called to order Mr. A. B. Kelly was elected Secretary. The townships of Howe, Hickory, Jcnks and Barnelt were represented respectively by Messrs. A. B. Kelly, Lewis Keister, H. S. Brookway and W. R.Coon, the regular members of the committee from these precincts being unable to attend. The election of Delegates to the State Convention being the first thing in order resulted ai follows : E. L. Davis Esq., was unanimously cbosen Senatorial Delegate; Mr. Peter Berry was chosen Representative Del egate. No instructions were given the delegates. After appointing Saturday, June 26, as the day for holding the Republican Primaries, the committee adjourned to meet at call of the chair man. Capt. C. W. Clark tells us we were somewhat in error in stating that Mrs. B. O. Sullivan died in a destitute condition. He also states that the levy upon which the goods were sold was made before her husband left her, and that he (Sullivan) wae cognizant of the whole transaction. We got our information from what we considered a refiable source, and we cheerfully correct any misstatements that may have occurred in our columns, nothing beiug farther from our intentions than to cast any reflections upon the good citizens of that neighborhood. The woman, ic seems, had all the necesta saries of life, and was in no way un comfortable on account of her poverty. The children have been taken in charge by'the authorities and will be well cared for. It is very gratifying to notice the advance of stock of the Pittsbuigh, Titusville & Buffalo Railroad which has been going on for some weeks past, and . is still continuing. It is now quoted touch higher thau for years, and probably higher than it has ever been before. Its business is daily in creasing, which must be a gratifica tion to Supt. T. II. Wilson, to whose excellent management this steady ap preciation in the stock may be mainly attributed. Mr. Wilson is not only very popular with the officers and em ployees of the road, but is gaining new friends every day along the line of the road by his gentlemanly bearing and disposition to please and accommodate. On Monday morning last, a stranger giving the name of Williams, presented a check at the First National Bauk, payable to his order, calling for $1,041, signed by A. Cook. The check wasn't paid, however, for the very good reasons that the teller sus pected' the signature to be . a forgery, and that Judge Cook had no account with the First National. Upon being closely questioned, Mr. "Williams" became greatly confused, and finally rushed oat of the bauk and struck for the train at a 2:40 gait. That the check was a forgery, this action of the stranger fully confirmed. Clarion Republican. Last Wednesday morning Mr. W. S. Setley, brother of ex-Treasurer fietley, met with a severe accident. While assisting some other parties in falling a tree on Judge Proper's farm the tree slipped from the stump strik ing Mr. S. on the leg near the ankle, crushing the bones and producing a very severe compound fracture. It will be some time before he will be able to use the injured leg, and he will probably always be more or less crip pled. Baldwin s Official Railway Guide for January has reached us. The pressnt number is a vast improvement on all previous ones, which, when we consider the excellence the Guide bad attained, is saying a good deal. Besides the official time tables of rail roads in the oil regions and the prin cipal road outside, corrected monthly, the periodical contains a large fund of useful and interesting matter. Its low price places it withiu reach of all, being but $1.00 a year. W. S. Bald win, Publisher, 15 Exchange St., Buf falo, N. Y. Business at the Recorders' Office.

Peterson's Magazine for February is already on our table, ahead, as usual ; and is even more beautiful, iu some respects, than the January one. The double-size colored fashion plate ; the illustrated story, "Alice Gray's Trial;" and some new and exquisite designs in Japanese embroidery, in cluding a colored pattern, are among these. The stories are all remarkably good. Mrs. Burnett's "Fair Barbari an," is continued, aud is brighter than ever. "Lost," by Mrs. Ann S. Ste phens, is the best novel even she bus written for years. We have so often praised "Peterson," that jt is almost useless to do it again. We cau imagine nothing belter in tho way of a lady's magazine. Specimens are sent, gratis, to those wishing to get up clubs. Back numbrrs from January cau always be supplie. Price $2, a year in advance. Addre&3 Chus. J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut St., PhiPa. The February number ofBallou'o Monthly Magazine the best and the most popular of all the ueriuls in the country is issued, and can be called a model number. There is not a dull article in it. There are romances, stories, adventures, travels, poetry, wit and humor, excellent illustrations, nice engravings, and a fine view of Nassau, N. P., and a very readable article about tho same place by the author of "Running the Blockade." With its improved appearance, en larged form, new type, and so forth, Ballou's Magazine is gaining thousands of new subscribers, and we are glad of it, for it is worthy of support.
