Sucker fishing ha9 set in, and several good Hiring have been strung. As usual Dr. Coburn has the honoi- of bringing in the largest bunch at "cue fiihiu " thus far. Mr. II. A.

The first Tuesday in May is the time for holding the convection, and those ex pecting to be candidates should not delay announcing too long. Now is the time to clean up old rubbish, "decayed vegetable matter, etc., which has accumulated during the winter and been covered up by the snow.

We make this sUttmout be cause it'ss fact, and not on account of any particular balmineaa noticeable in the weather on that occasion. Had we been allowed to name It we should hare said it was the first day of win ter, and a mighty good starter at that. A ' special" from Mercer to the Commercial Oazctte has the following complimentary notice of our new und popular President Judge : "Judge Wm. D. Brown, of Warren, is holding court this week for Judge McDermitt, and has made many friends among our lawyers by his gentlemanly and schol arly bearing upon the bench." The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co., have purchased the Pittsburg & Western, Butler & Parker, and Fox burg & Clarion narrow gauge railioads, and intends building the connecting links from Evansville to Butler, and from Parker to Foxburg, and a road from either Ridgway or Warren, so as to make the whole an important outlet for the oil producing and lumber country. New Bethlehem Vindicator. On Monday there came near being a drowning accident at Nebraska. 7t happened in the usual way. Below the dam the ewirls in ,the water are very strong, and unless the man at the forward oar is very cautious he will be thrown from the raft, when the oar takes the water. This happiBed to Colwell Hoover, and he was thrown some distarce from the raft, but had the presence of mind and grit to hang to the oar-stem, from which perilous predicament he was with difficulty rescued by the other mea on the raft. The best swimmers cannot navigate if they once get into these swirls. Mr. E. G. Jackson, of Tidioute, father of the bey, George Henry Jack sen, who met with the fatal accident on the railroad on the 22d of Febru ary, was in town last week. It was reported that the boy bad both legs cut off, but this was not the case. He attempted to jump on the moving train, when he slipped nnd fell in front of the wheels, but held himself from going under.and the wheels did not pass over him. He lived 5 or 6 hours after the accident. His are was 10 years and 7 mouths ; was considered a bright and promising youth, and his untimely end was a heavy blow to his parents and playmates. Wo see by the Pittsburgh Com mercial- Gazette that the lumber firm of Ford & Lacy, of this county is in danger of being dissolved, aud that Miss Sarah A. Ford has brought suit against the other members of the firm, and served an injunction on. them to suspend operations. The plaintiff al leges that the business has been carried on in a reckless and extravagant man ner, and that sho has never received returns from lumber sold, etc. How this is we know not, but as the firm has given employment to a great many workmen and been a vast benefit to our coonty in that direction, we hope that matters may be amicably settled and business go on. lue suspension of so heavy a firm would be a great detriment to the laboring and produc ing interests of this community. We believe Miss Ford asks that'a Receiver be appointed. Mr. Thomas D. Dunn, who was principal of our publio schools here and resigned in 1878 for the purpose of studying medicine, his many old friends will remember, graduated with honor as an M. D. at the University of Pa., on the 15th inst., and was the recipient of one of the two gold medals. The following concerning him we copy from the Philad'a Press of March 1G "The contest for the Anatomical prize of a gold medal was so close that the Demonstrator of Anatomy caused two medals of equal value to be struck, awarding them to Thomas D.' Dunn of l a., and ueo. iu. de bchweinitz, of Pa." The old University sends forth 115 graduuates for 1881, in Medicine and 47 Dentists. We chronicle the success of our former townsman with pride. P. S. Mr. Dunn stopped in town over last Sunday to shake hands with his many old friends, all of whom took pleasure iu congratulating bim on his success, aud bright prospects for the future.

The few warm days of last week wsre sufficient to tbaw the ncavysnow still ia the woods, and raise the creek to good rafting stage, and on Sunday afternoon rafts begun running out. The harbor at Little Tionesta was filled with "creek pierei," and a large number were landed at the mouth of the creek. Codsiderable ice still re maining above Newtown, none were run from above that placo. The rirer is now too high for running, buY "coupling-up" will begin forthwith, and as soon as the water falls suffi ciently the rafts will start for market. It is estimated that between 18,000,000 and 20,000,000 feet of boards and manufactured lumber will be run out of Tionosta creek this spring, which will be divided up about as follows: Lacytewn will furnish about 6,000,000 Ford fc Lacy 4,000,000, and Payne and Haskell about 1.000.000 each: Bear Creek 6,000,000 Root & Wat son 3,000,000, Russell 2,000,000 and Shonp 1,000,000; Newtown Mills, Wheeler & Dusenbury, ia the neigh borhood of 1,000,000 ; Salmon Creek, Salmon Creek Lumber Co., about 500,000; Buck Mills, Bob's Creek and Poickey about 4.000,000, divided among Hall, May, Gillespie and Tobey; Eli Berlin will have about 500,000 to run. Besides this there will be in the neighborhood of 300,000 feet of'square timber run out of Tionesta Creek. From East Hickory, this county, there will probably be ruu from four to six million of lumber, and upward of 200,- '9 feet of timber,the bulk of which is owned by Allen, Brace & Co. This will make an aggregate of nearly 25,000,000 feet of lumber, and about 500,000 of timber from this county, exclusive of the Barnett township lumber, which is run on the Clarion, and of which we have heard no esti mates ; we can, however, say it will run into the millions. It wonUl'seem that this rather unu sual amount of lumber from this county, together with proportions tely large amounts from other sections, would overstock the market and bring down prices, but from what we can learn it seems that Pittsburgh dealers are anticipating a large run, and yet are predicting good prices and a large demand. This product ought to bring j from $300,000 to $400,000 iuto this section of tho county this coming sum mer, which in turn ought to make times good, aud we predict they will be. Tidioute Talk. Nellie Arters returned to Glean last Friday. II. M. C. wants to know who tore that gate off. Over a dozen from here went to Ti tusville last Wednesday to see Bern hardt. Miss Dolly Hood and George, of Tionesta, visited Miss Mary Gorman during the week. The "crows" ar still "cawiog." The "old crow" has skipped out, and has not got back yet.

We httve nothing particularly rr.7 to chronie lo Tegari)int the recent strike at Blue Jay. The nety.well has been tubed and wakes an occasional flow, but ju?t what size producer it will be seems to be one of the thing which no fellow can find out. We understand several new rigs are going up in that section, aud busiues' i9 assuming quite active proportiou'. Yesterday's Derrick has tha following concerning Blue Jay No. 2 : The reports concerning this well are as" much exaggerated as were thoss from Blue Jay No. 1, and the true condition of th J well will not be knowu until it has blcj wn off its head and settled down to steady business. The only thing which it has settled so fur, is that oil exists near the Sbtfiielu gas streak, but bow wide, long, narrow or short the belt or field 'vf, the drill can only determine. It may lay alongside of the gas streak, like tho Cole Creek belt, or it may be a pool in the norh era part of Forest county. To the southwest several dry holes determine where it does not go, and in the north the gas wells shut it off", while several miles to the east one or two ventures have prnven bad speculations. The Derrick this rhorniDg has the followiug dispatches : Sheffield, March 22. The oil in the 250 barrel tank at the Blue Jay well No. 2, was within fifteen inches of the top this morning. An other tank has been ordered and will be put up to-morrow. Between seven o'clock last night and 7:15 this moru ing it made eight inches, and betwecu 8:15 this morning and two o'clock this afternoon it made two inches. It looks at present like a thirty barrel well, but a better idea of its production can be obtained when the head is oQ'. It' it holds up for teu days at its present rate, nobody will dispute that a new and prolific field ha9 been struck. But if it drops like its twin, Blue Jay No. 1, it will be of no rnoro interest to oil men. second DIf patch. Sheffield, March 22. An actual gauge shows the Blue Jay did iurty two barrels in twenty four hours. T.
