Save your trouble, gents. Laft week, one day while Messrs. A. B. Kelly and J. M. Kepler were riding out into the country towards Tylersburg, they saw a large black bear crossing the rood beyond the Haslet farm, about three miles from this place.

Over 600 build ings were burned, rendering nearly 3.000 reonle homeless. The lofs is ' a estimated at 82,000,000. Appeals for aid by Gov. lloyt have been liberally responded to by citizens all over the Stato. Tho change in the time tablo of P. T. & B. 11. H. is very slight. We have not received tho new schedule yet and can give only the time of passenger trains at this station, which is as follows : North, 7:23 a. m., 2:47 p. in., and 10:15 p. m. South, 10:20 a. m., 2:07 p. m., and 8:30 p. m. The corrected time table will appear next week. Dutch Hill seems to be afllictcd just now with 6ueak-thieves. lho cellars of several of the farmers have lateiy been robbed of meat and other eatables. Granaries hare also been robbed of their contents, and the peo ple are becoming considerably worked up about it. A few army muskets anJ a. bull-dog or two ara very effectual in such cases. Baldwin's Railway Guide for May is better, if possible than its predecess ors. It contains a beautiful and com prehensive map iii addition to tho other useful information found in its bright pages. Every traveler should provide himself with a copy. W. S. Baldwin, Publisher, 15 Exchange St., Buffalo, N. V. The second of the concerts, given by the Tiouesta- singing class, under the able leadership of Prof. M. E Pock. was rtndored last evening at the Court IIoiidc, to a fair and very appreciative audience. Tho perform atice wero numerous and varied, aod wero highly creditable to all con coined. The class was ably assisted by some of tho leading singers of Tid ioute, to whom much credit is due Our epneo forbiih a moro extended notice, but it suffices tu soy that all who attended, went homo well pleased and satisfied with the skill of the Prof. as a leader and teacher. Several thousand feot cf 6-inch pipe was hauled through town yester Jay eu route for the eastern portion of the county. It is to be used in the construction of the pipe line now being laid from Kane to Foxburg and the lower oil country. Tho line will pass through portions of Howe, Jenks and Bhrnett townships of this county It will give that section a more busi- nesrdike air, and in a measure relieve tho monotony of the wilderness, as a telegraph line will be erected, besides several pump stations will be necej sary along the line. IS est wo expect to hear of a railrcad ia that neighbor hood. Last Sunday being a pleasant day and just the kind to make one feci like riding or strolling into the cool retreat ot the country, two 01 our young gents concluded to take advant age of the same, and accordingly, after considerable fussing around, got a horso and buggy and sallied forth. As intimated they had soma trouble in getting a buggy, but finally succeeded iu procuring a bran, splinter new one, (it was "splinter" new when thty re turned.) After driving up aDd down street several times, and exciting the envy of their less fortunate chums, they turned their steed in thedirection of Tubb's Hun, there to enjoy the loveliness of that pleasant "Dale." Pro ceeding but a short distance their fiery 6teed became frightened at some object and commenced turning around very uncermoniously. At this juueture some Doutt arose as to what should be done, or what would be the result of such proceedure, but the horse soon settled that Doutt, and the buggy, too, by a few well directed blows from the .tear. i? ortunateiy the onggy sus tained the only injury inflicted, and the young gents were able, by taking turns iu the shafts to haul the vehicle down to Baisig's wagon shop, where it remained on exhibition the rest ot the day. Costs about $10. Court Minutes. Court called at 2:30 p. ra., Monday, with President Judgo "Wetmore, and Associates Kerr and Heck present. After the usual routine of swearing coustables aud taking return?, charg ing Grand Jury.itc, was gone through, court adjourned until Tuesday morn ing. The Grand Jury fousd a true bill against Elmer Gill. This is the youth of 17 years, who stole Jerry Ilcplers' horso about a month ago, au account of which we gave at the time. Ihe young man, upon tlje advice of his counsel pleaded guilty to lho charge, whereupon the judge sentenced him to pay one dollar fine, costs of prosecu tion and uudergo an imprisonment 111 the Western Penitentiary for one year and one month. Judge Wetmore made the seuteuce as light as possible on account of tho young man's tender years. In tho case of Commonwealth vs. C. G. Hinkley for perjury a nol. j?ros. was gtanted. Tito case of Cbas. J. Harris vs. Jenks township was on trial Tuesday evening. . The grand jury was discharged on Monday evening with the thanks of tho court for the expeditioqs manner iii which they transacted the business before them. Milwaukee. The Ist named, bandied exclushely by thoso veil-known gen tlemen, Mayer Bros., is pronounced by Mike aud other eminent judges of beer to be the best in Market. Iu conclusion let me say that we are on tho highway to prosperity. Hav ing passed through thick and thin, high and low priced oil we still stand on solid footing, and long after other towns have passed into history Oil City will bo among the wide-awake and flourishing towns of America.

They are a solid firm, and givo a great many men employment. Long may they live. Business is said to be quite brisk at BrookEton this season in the bark bus iness. We saw Prof. McCluro of that place at Sheffield, but as we did not get an opportunity to speak to him, it may have been his ghost. Some of the boys were relating "big snake stories" ia the Williams House at Sheffield this morning, but as I think I can tell as big a snake 6tory as the nex t fellow I paid no attention. The pigeon business is hot so brisk here as it has been. Several hundred tons were shipped at this station this season, and it was quite a source of revenue to the R. H. Co., alone. May 18, 18S0. X. OIL CITY, As we are such near neighbor!, and as the interests 01 our city are so nearly identical with those of Tio nesta, I thought a short letter men tioning a few of the improvements etc., of our place might prove interesting to your readers. Our city is not so dull as some of our neighboriag towns would like to make it. Everything here is bustling. Our boiler woiks, of which we have quite a number, have a great many orders ahead : enough to keep them busy for some time to come. We have also a Tin-Shop here which employs a large force of men. The United Pipe Lines having moved their shops from Petrolia hero bring a great many families with them, adding materially to the population and thrift of the city. Improvements of all kinds seem to be going on on all Bides. South Oil City, at piesent looks gay with its vast improvement iu tho way of repainting and remodeling of buildings, as does also Cottage Hill. Our Merchauts areloiug a spanking business, and they say that their trade compares very favorably with this time last seasou. Our hotels seem to bo well patronized with strangers and commercial travelers. Tho all-absorbing topic with us now is the new depot which the railroods uow have iu contemplation, and work upon which will commence very soon. A new iron bridge for the A. V. H.
