Oil 95 5-&C Court week.' Frank Heck, of Straiten ville, has been in town iliit week. A great many strauge and famil iar faces are seen on our streets this week. Many of our eld friends and put roiia have calleJ on us, substantially, this week, for which they will please accept our thanks. Dr. 8. J. Fisher, Dentist, of War ren, Pa., is stopping at the Lawrence House this week, where all wishing his services should call. Judge Cook und son-in-law, Saru. W. Calvin Esq., ate attending court this week. Mr. Calvin is cue of tbe counsel in the case of Chas. Harris vs. Jenks township. Brookville, at one time a strong bold of greenbackUm, polled 4 votes for that ticket at the late elections. "Waneityl All is waneity an loss of votes," with the gbk's. . Mr. Orion Siggius, and Dr. Sham burg, two of the solid meu of Har mony township paid us very pleasant calls on Monday of this week. Buii lie ut court called them to town. Lieut. -Governor Stone, W. M. Lindeev, and D. I. Ball of Warren, 8. C. T. Dodd of Franklin, S. T Nelll, and J u 1 i u 3 Byles, of Titusville, are among the prominent attorneys at tending court this week. The Democrats at their committee meeting on Monday evening, elected Dr. Jeukius, of Neilltowu, Representa tive delegate to the Democratic State Cotiveution. T'jeir choice for Senato rial delegate was Mr. John Peterson, . Uafiiug has commenced at the different landings uloug tho creek, aud business in that branch is looking somewhat brighter. At Nebraska aiito ft large - lorco of men are at work, und at the other mills tho usual activ ity is noticeable. Lumbermen are looking forward to an early iud, all anxious to "get their" first. Much good weather for sugar making has been had within tho past week or teu days, aud we understand some of the citizens in the eastern part of the county are taking advantage of the warm days and making sugar while the fan runs. A considerable amount of "sap" is being laid in about bete this week. Auditor General Schell recently promulgated a decision under tho tux laws of Pennsylvania to the eflect that dr.y laborers are not taxable on their "occupations." IJa confines tho mean ing of the law to the technical defini tion of a trade or profession. This decision is a new departure entirely, and will reduce the volume of taxes ussessed and collected. JLx. Homo euterprising chap with a stock of ear-trumpets for sale, might have struck a big bonanza at. the court room Monday afternoon, when all tho old bai heads ot the place crowded up to the railing around the bar, to tho utter exclusion of every young mau in the room. It was a comical sight, and would have been a good subject for an ariist. Mr. W. W, Diamond, of Downs, Kausas, and old time resident of this place, will please accept thanks for the Times, a new and wideawake paper just started iu that rapidly growing town. We notice that Mr. D. keeps tho post office, and in connect ion therewith has n cigar aud tobacco store. Whatever else the place may lack it cau boast of oue square upright citizen so long at "Bill" Diamond leit.ainfc there. Last Thursday Prof. Peck's sing ing class voted to have a concert duricg court week, and the time was set for last night, Feb. 24. At the hour appointed for the performance to open the court room was comfortably filled. Frof. Peck had arranged a very good programme which was gone through with iu fine etyle. It is im possible for us this morning to partic ularize, and we will just state that all did well their parts, which we believe are the sentiments of the entire audi ence. For the short time the class had for rehearsal und practice we doubt if the entertainment could have been Improved upon. We should like to take the programme and comment on each performance seperately, but time will not permit. At the close Prof. Peck announced that a second term of lessons would be commenced on Monday next, and that il any new scholars wished to join, a rudimental oourse would be given, and an hour or iv.o devoted to that branch, asido from tho advanced course. The Pro fo8sor has certainly proved himself master of tbe art, and jsny one wish ing a thorough knowledgu of vocal music should take advautnge of the prcscut opportnnity. Next Friday evening, Feb. 27, the citizens of Tidioute aud viciuity will have an opportunity to show their liberality and sympathy toward suffer ing and famishing Ireland; and at the same time get the worth of their money and more to. . The young men of that place have perfected arrengemenfs for an entertainment to bo given at the opera house, by home talent, which, it former similar performances are any criteriou, will be worth goiug a loug way to see. The entertainment will be varied to suit all tastes, and many telling hits will doubtless be made on the old fogies of Tidioute, in the orig inal farces entitled "Our New Tan nery," and "A Slippery Day." But let the play be what it may, the ob ject for which it ja gotten up is a most worthy one, and should be patronized by all who can possibly make it a point to attend. It may be that some of our citizens would like to aid the cause; if so they can learn full par ticulars from Mr. D. W. Clark Jr., Tidioute, Pa., the poor man's friend and sympathizer of suffering humanity, and "the thrue frind ofthe hard-trod-deu down laborin' man." May success attend their every effort in behalf of thee starving people. Il becomes our solemn duty to chrouicle the fact that our staunch old Republican f'rieud and patron, Mr. Eli Holeman, has gone, went aud got married ; at lean the happy event is set down for to day at 12 in., accord ing to the invitations. The bride is Miss Julia L. Blaisdcll, a young lady of Viueland, N. J., where th cere mouy is to take place. Eli's many old friends in this section will be agreeably surprised to learn this piece of nows, nd will join us in wishing him and his helpmeat joy and peace forever. We are informed that he will hereafter make Tiouesfa borough his home moving . into his house, Judge Dale's old homestead which will also be good uews to our citizens. Saltpetre won't save you from a "racket" by the boys when vou arrive, Eli. It is reported that Itobert Guilon, au old hunter, was recently killed by a bear at a place called "Gee Buck," on little Coon Creek in Forest comity. When discovered, the man and bear were lying near each other dead and horribly lacerated, indicating there hud been a desperate struggle between them. We are without further par tieul ar s. CYorrt'on Jaehtonian. Well, if that isn't the very worst insult that could be offered to our veteran bear-slayer. The idea that old Uncle Ilob't GuitoH, the man who has done more to rid our forests of these ferocious animals than auy one in the State, should bo eaten np by ono in this day and age, is simply preposterous. If the man who started this report should ever meet Mr. Gui ton he'll probably find him tho liveli est "dead" man he ever met. -The Practical American, an in. dependent monthly especially devoted to Engineering, Manufacturing and Build ing, is the latest journal out. Il is published, monthly, by Dr. Vauder Weyde, the editor, aud will deubtlesa be successful. The Doctor is one of the ablest editors in American 6cien tifio journalism. Ilia the hadaomest publication that has found i(s way to our table for many a day. We hope to be remembered everv mouth. Ad dress 34 Park Row, N.'y. By the Intel! postal decision, bus iness men cau actually make money by getting their bills and statements of accounts printed. Statement of account and bills of sale that are made out ou paper that is printed at the head, can be sent through tne mails for one cent if the envelope is left unsealed ; whereas, if made out ou imprinted paper they will cost three cents. Thus, by patronizing the prin ter, two cents can be saved on every bill or statement that is sent -through the mails. From some of the citizens of Jenks township, and the eastern part ofthe county, who are attending court, we learn that the pigeons are very plenty in that 3ection, and netters are beginning to scoop 'em in quite lively. One mnn U said ta have had close on a hundred dozen in his net but couldn't hold them, and all but 16 dozen got away. Another man scooped ia 30 dozen at one strike. Some of our local "pigeouers" started for there yesterday morniog. Tbe pigeons will probably commence nest ing about the middle of March. Duff's Comhekcial College. We take plensure in commending this old, well-managed and successful Bus iness College, which is one ofthe pop ular institutions of our city, and a "household word" in the community ; its fame is widely spread, and its grad uates are everywhere. Besides the superior business training imparted, the principals and endeavor, by exam ple, to inculate gentlemanly manners, und exert a fine moral influence under their care. PUttburgh Christian Advocate. Cooksburg. If you will grant U3 a short space in your valuable columns we will inform your many readers of the re ligious doings at Cooksburg. Rev. Dimiuick, of Methodist per suasion, a bright, energetic, christian gentlemau opened a series of revival meetings iu the school house at this place, on Jan. 20, and closed same Feb. 20,.'80, by virtue of which thirty eight persons, discarded their well worn garments of sin, and put on the shiniug robes of Christ's righteousues. We trust that as they have been "born again" and fcava eaten of the "Bread of Life," the remainder of their days Vn1 bo an honor and not a reproach to the cause of Him, who doeth all things well. We wish Rev. Dimmick success wherever he goes, and that he miy go ou in the good work of con verting sinners from the errors of their ways, to the knowledge of the Truth in Christ Jesus, till ut one vile creat ure is left iu our land for llie Devil C.

Everything is serene ou the Hill and news being scarce I thought I would attend tho Teachers' Educa tional Association which was adjourned to meet to-day. On account of the inclemency of the weather tho teachers did not assemble until about 10:00 a. m. President F. F. Whittekin convened the Associ ation at 11:00 a. m. General business was transacted and speedily disposed ot. Au informal meeting then occupied the rcmaiuder of the forenoon. Afternoon session opcucd nt 2 p. m. The programme as arranged and pub lished in the Republican was carried out to the letter excepting the part assigned to Prof. Brock way, Co. Supt. who failed to put iu an appearance. The evening session opened at 7:20 p. m. The objects of the Association were given and a lecture of about one hour and twenty minutes in length was delivered by F. F. Whittekin." The very best of. order prevailed throughout the entire session. The speaker held the attention of his audience, there was no listlessness, and the evening session, as the day sessions were, was a g(and success. The Dutch Hi'.lers have tho thanks of every member of llie Association, for the manner in which they received, welcomed and treated, iu words and deeds, all who came to take part in this woik. Tho next meeting will be held on Whig Hill, March 20, '80. This organization, if it receives the support of those educationally inter ested, it will prove a.power for good. Let the good begun work go on. Ocserveh. v Last Friday evening , we had a "Spelling Bee" at Piuegrove School house which was the best attended affair of the kind we ever heard of in Forest county. There were not less than two hundred people in attend ance, and five counties were represent ed. This shows that Barnett township is not dead, but wide awake in the cause of education. We chose sides and spelled about three-quarters of an hour, witlall tho school spelliug, even little six-year-old boys and girls, Borne of whom didn't miss a word. The bouse was so crowded there was no chance of "spell ing down," so we can't say who would have been tho champion speller. After the spelling was over the following programme was gone through with: First, Dialogues : "Woman's Reform Meeting," by Mrs. White, Misses Rilla Hottell, Emma Kerr, Sadie Kellogg, and Mrs. Johu Moore. 2nd, "Mrs. Smith's Boarders," by Misses Cilia Mays aud Louie Cosjgrove, and Messrs. Casiy Stevens, Bob Blick aud Put Hottel. 3rd, "Advertising for a Hus band," Emma Kerr, Rilla Hottel and Sammy Ward. 4th, "Timothy's Trousei loons," by Mrs. White, Miss Phoebe Kerr, John Black, Johnnie Davis. Declamation aud music were had between each dialogue, and lastly but not leant, a paper was read by Casty Stevens and Cilia Mays. We had spleudid order considering the way tho house whs crowded, and everything passed off quietly and pleasantly, Mks. White, Teacher. Report of Huddlcson school for the mouth ending Feb. 21, '80.
