pretty close to business for the past
three months, and is now out for a few
days recreation.
Mr. N. G. Ball, of East Hickory,
is lying very low and hardly expected
to recover with "gravel." Mr. Ball is
a most worthy man and citizen, and we
sheuld be grieved to learn of his dis
ease terminating in his death.
These bright, sunoy days are ex

have bagged several of the short tailed
coru-thieves within the past week.
Strawberries are selliug in New
York for seventy-five cents for a little

Wheu we eat strawberries we like

Mr. S. S. Ilolbrook, of Cincinnati,
paid our town a business visit last
week. He still feels au interest in
the welfare of Forest county, notwith
standing be has disposed of his' prop

for his prosperity.
The March number of Baldwin's
Official Railway Guide is on hand
with its usual freshness, and showing
many marks of improvement on for

placing itself in the lead of all compet

energy of its publisher, Mr. Baldwin.
Judge Cook, who has for several
weeks lain seriously ill in Pittsburgh,
has nearly recovered, and experts to
be homo shortly. The loss Barnett
township would sustain by the death
of Judge Cook would be very great,
and we are pleased to learn with his
many friends that he has been spared.
May he live to a ripe old age.
If Venor and the ground-hog can
make any kind of agreement about the
weather rafting will soon commence,
and we wish to call the attemioD of
lumbermen to the fact that we have
tinner in our town who has a large
supply of raiting stoves, tin dishes &c,
on hand and sells them lower than the
same have ever been sold heretofore
Call oa Ed. Ilei bel aud examine his

It seems that the Bed. Ilogan we
mentioned last week a having been
killed in a saloon in Arizona, is not the
Ben of pugilistic notoriety. He is now in
New York carrying on hi work as a
revivalist, endeavoring to do good for
the Lord, so he says.
Bro. Carpenter has hung a new

opposition to disturb him in the least.
Now is the time to "secure the shadow
ere the substance fades." Give him a
call.
Our new Coroner, Mr. C. II.
Church, lifted hi commission and was
sworn in yesterday. The emoluments
of the office are not very great,
scarcely amounting to the commission
fee, but Mr. Church felt that he owed
it to the friends who honored him with
such a large support last fall to take
out his commission, and he accordingly
did so.
Mr. Calvin Arner and family are
surely receiving their share of trouble.
On Wednesday last their youngest
child, Minnie, aged about eleven
months died, which, coming so seon
after Mr. Arner's misfortune, is sad
indeed. The stricken parents, we
hope, will take comfort and consola
tion from the fact that in their sorrow
and affliction they have the tiucerest
sympathy of their mauy friends, and
remember that "Whom the Lord
loveth Pie chasteneth.
Some times wheu we gaze out of
the window and see the bright sun
beatiDg down on the surrounding hills
we make up our mind that spring has
come, and immediately throw open
the stove door. When we turn arouud
again, however, and look out and see
the blustering, blinding snow we slam
shut the door again and eettle down to
tho conclusion that this sun of York
is not making much headway on the
winter of our discontent, in the way
of transforming it into glorious sum
taer, &c, &c.
On Wednesday last a special car
took Mr. John Hunter to his home ia
Millvillage, Erie County. He was
accompanied by his brother, George,
and other members of the family, Dr.
Blaine going along to minister to bis
medical wants. The Doctor did not
deem it advisable to make the trip,
but Mr. Hunter was bent on going,
and so the Railroad Company fur
nished a special car for his conven
ience. The trip was made in safety,
and at last accounts Mr. H. was doing
quite well.

The prohibitory law of Kansas
does not seem to glide along as
smoothly as it might after all, accord
ing to the Newton Republican : "The
prosecutions commenced in the city of
Topaka, against the saloons were either
defeated or compromised on Tuesday
last. So the saloons are to be kept
open until May 2nd. Jo many parts
of the State uo attention is given te
the law, and if the saloons are to be
kept open in the Capitol of Kansas
under tho dobs of Gov. St. Joha, why
have them closed in Newton."
The Czar of Russia was assassina
ted on Sunday last, by Nihilists. The
Emperor was riding io his carriage
when a bomb was thrown out cxplod
ing under the carriage. He alighted
whea a second bomb was thrown and
exploded under his feet which maagled
him terribly, from the effects of which
he diod in about two hours. Attempts
have frequently been made to tike his
life, the first being as early as 1866.
The Grand Duke Alexis, who it will
be remembered, made a tour of the
United States, some years ago, will
succeed his father as Emperor.
Hark Wentworth reports the fol
lowing singular case : He had seta
tiap for foxes and on Wednesday
night last some kind of animal carried
the first trap away leaving nothing but
a part of tho chain. Hark immediate
ly planted another trap on the same
bed, and on Monday morning last
went out to take a look at the situa
tion, nnd there found Reynard, wbo
had evidently caught his foot in the
first trap, carried it around for nearly
a week aad then came back and
canght himself io the second trap, the
jaws of which had caught in the spring
of the first trap, and Mr. Fox was
held secure.
In a little over two weeks the
trouting seasou will commence, and as
usual a grand rush will be made on
the neighboring streams for the little
beauties. In this connection it might
be well to state that the place to get
your outfit for fishing is at Papa Bald
win's, Tidioute, who always keeps the
best and most approved material in
this line and sells it at a very small
margin. If yon cannot spare the time
to go up, an order by mail will answer,
as he understands what kind of
tackle is best adapted for this section
and will deal squarely with you. Give
him a trial.
The survey of the Salamanca &
Irvineton Railroad has been comple
ted as far as the Statin line, and the
engineers have been engaged in the
past week in making up near approxi
mate estimate of the entire cost of
building the same. We understand
that the cost will be somewhere in the
neighborhood of $21,000 per mile.
About twenty-five men are now at
work near Kinzua on the above road.
It will be pushed along as rapidly as
possible, and it is confidently hoped
that the road will be completed and
trains running from Oil City to Sala
manca by the first of September. This
will shorten the distance from this
place to Bradford about 13 miles, and
owing to the low grade, not, we be
lieve, to exceed 18 feet per mile, one
engine can haul 30 to 35 cars from
Oil City to Salamauca, while at the
present time the N. Y. P. & O. Rail
road can movo but 15 to 18 cars. This
will give this division a big "send off"
ia the freight business, aud be remu
nerative to the euterprising B. P. &
W. R. R. Co, which is just now on tho
"push."
Blue Jay No. 2.
Late news from the Blue Jay dis
trict, on Tionesta creek, are to the
effect that the second well just comple
ted, would be good for a hundred
barrel gusher. Of course this report
is exaggerated, at least we think so, but
that a good well hasheen struck there is
no doubt, and it is probable that
it may go fifty or sixty barrels when
properly torpedoed and tubed, which
is pretty good for a starter. The sand
is said to be first-class.
This well is situated about one mile
from the first one, on a diiect line
north, in the direction of Sheffield, and
is owned by Shultz & Co., of Warren.
Should it pan out anything like as big
as it is reported the reputation of that
territory is made, and soon or late
that section will witness active and
lively operations.
Church Meeting.
At a meeting at the Presbyterian
Church, pursuant to notice, A. B.
Kelly was elected President, and S. D.
Irwia, Sej'y.
G. G. Butterfield stated the object
of the meeting to be for the purpose of
engaging a minister, nominated Rev.
J. Hickling, of Allegheny, Pa., and
at the close of hi remarks moved that
a call be made to Mr. Hickling, which
was seconded by C. A. Randall. Re
marks favoring the motion for the call
were made by Ritchey, Randall, Kelly
aud others. The vole was uuanimout,
aud the Elders were instructed to
make out the call and forward it to

half the time, the other portion of the
time to be devoted to the Churches of
Tylersburg and Scotch Hill.

The Literary Revolution Chango
of Base.
This very remarkable enterprise con
tinues to make such progress as to
astonish its fiiends and astound its
enemies Its greatly increasing pro
portions have compelled the removal
of its head-quarters from the Tribune
Building to the very large and beau
tiful building, No. 764 Broadway,
which is in the very midst of the
"book district" of New York City, aud
therefore, of the publishing enterprise
of the nation. This building, though
six stories in height 25 feet front aud
100 feet deep, is sufficient only for the
offices and retail store of the Compaoy.
The manufacturing is carried on in
several large buildings located in other
parts of the city, though it is contem
plated conceutrating them soon in one
immense factory to be erected.
The list of recent and early forth
coming publications are extremely in
teresting to all who enjoy what is
choicest in literature. The Library
Magazine is unique in both form and
character and altogether delightful in
the richneos of its contents. Of the
books anxouueed, Green's larger
"History of the English People," re
duced froot $10 to 81 ; Carlyle's "His
tory of the French Revolution." re
duced to 40 cents ; Carlyle's "II rots
and Hero Worship," 25 ceuts, and tho
"Revued New Testament," which is
promised to be manufactured with
rapidity heretofore unheard of, will
attract special attentiou. It is worth
while for every one who has uot al
ready seen it, to send nnd get the il
lustrated pamphlet, "Boo. Making,
and Type Setting by Steam," which
will be stut free upou application.

Ed. Republican :
Dear Sir .'Having been
the happy recipient ef your paper for
a few weeks, I have renewed my ac
quurntance. with some ot my Tionesta
friends. Since learning of the sad
accident that befell Mr. Arner at Foik
Run, I have been anxious to hear of
bis welfare. He has nty sincere sym
pathy in his eovere afilict'on and my
earnest wish for his speedy recovery.
I think of him as a lad as he was, when
last I saw him at home with his sisters.
I find my memory at fault wbile try
ing to place the members of Mr. Ar
ner's family, although I have spent
some happy hours with thera. ' The
girls will recollect the tunes we sang
together in those days. I dou't siDg
now. Mr. Lewis Arner and I tried to
make our fortunes in the oil business
on the Blood farm ; I did not ; I hope
Lewis did better. ' , .
Your last paper brought sad news
to me iu the death of A. W. Heath.
I can hardly realize that the child that
Mrs. Heath used to bring ia hef arms
to tho old school house above Newtown,
where we used to worship, had become
a man, aud has beeu taken away so
suddenly. Haviug passed through a
similar.-affliction, I can sympathize
with the mother in her severe trial,
and while she has the sympathy of the
community, she will need the support
which Jesus alone can give in this
her gruat sorrow.
In looking over the past few years,
how forcibly the fact is impressed upou
us that we are passing away, and that
here we have no continuing home. Our
friends are passing over one by one,
and soon it will be said of us, "they
are gone." It is a pleasure to think of
the home over there ; where the inhab
itants are never sick, and where death
will never invade the family circle.
Hoping to meer, my Tionesta friends
in that house made without hand, I
remaiu, Yours truly, -J.
C. Percival.
