The bars of this place were closed owing to tho election cn Saturday, from Friday night till Monday morn ing, something which has not happeued within the recollection uf the oldest inhabitant, we guess.

Col, Beisinger, of the Meadville Republican, has purclinscd the Index, or Ibex, ns he once delighted to call it, and has consolidated the two. Col. Ileisinger is one of tho few who makes money in the newspaper business and will doubtless make a success of this last venture. The continuous lingering of winter in t he lap of spring has caused quite a hard coal famine in town. Many stoves have been running fteady for six months, with a fair prspect of a full month yet. The question which pow agitates tho average denizens is, Vennor w going to have our spring? The sleighing siuce Thursday bos beon nearly as good ns any tima du ring tha winter. There is yet between three and four feet of snow in the pine forests. Should we havo the usual Apiil showers, our people may expect to see soma high water, and it may be well enough for our lumbermen to bo on their guard. -At a recent meeting of the Venan go County Agricultural Society we notici that a resolution was adopted endorsing and recommending the pass age of House Bill No. 300, which i.s the Road Bill we recently called at tention to Htid invited an inspection of by the citizens, s.nd which was intro duced by Representative Davis of this county. Judging from this and the opiuions expressed by some of our ex peritneed citizens tho bill must be what is wanted in that line and ought to pilES. Tho County Commissioners were in session last weefe and made the annual levy of county tax. They evied a sevjn niill tax for county pur pose, which is lower than, it has ever been before ; the bond tax was done away with entirely, and wo believe it ij the intentioi; of tho board to call in and pny off the bonds duriug the year. Forest county will have no debt, and will need only such taxes as are neccs sarv to tun the aliiirs of the county, and the outlook is now that the people will have a good, long breathing spell. Frederick Ilyren, "The Prophet," a peculiar character wtll known in this city, whoee death occurred some years ago, could claim tha honor, were he on earth, of correctly prophe sying the death of the Czar. In one of his speeches from the band stand in Diamond Park some years ago be pre dicted the death ot the Czar of all tho Kussias at the hands of assassins in 1881. Other personage?, whost future was known to him by Divine revela tion, will do well to look up to the Prophet's utterances. Meadville Re- publican. The 'Legislative Hand-Book" classifies the pursuits of tho members of the Legislature. Exactly one-half of the whole number of members of the Senate are lawyers nnd the others are divided up in various ways, there being four farmers and three each of doctors and editors. Iu the House there is no such proportion of lawyers, the whole number being twenty-nine. The forty farmers outnumber tba representatives of any other pursuit, the thirty-two ruerchauts coming next aud the law yers after. There are a number of manufacturers, doctors, teachers aud people of that sort. Tha following new officers of Tio nesta Lodge, I. O. O.

Km miner and Clironuk. Hon. H. L iHvia came home from the Capitol on Friday evening last remaining over Sunday, and re turning on Monday. He reports active times at Harrisburg, and says that notwithstanding Attorney General Palmer's decision that the Legislature roiiBt work for nothing after tho 100 days have expired, they will tAt adjourn until several important reform bills are passed. Whatever may be the opinions outside, those in and about Harrisburg who havo occasion to know whereof they speak, are ofthe firm belief that the Attorney Geheral's decision was "brought on'', by a desire to have the Legislature adjourn early aud avoid the passage of these reform rueasu res. We are informed by reliable par ties that tha extension of . the Buffalo Pittsburgh & Western railroad from Irvincton to Salamanca i a fixed fact. We understand that the contract was awarded, on the 28th ult., to the Tyler Construction Compauy, and that work will commence on tha 15th inst. Should the company conclude to build the line from Brocton to Buffalo the B. P. & W. Ity., will assume propor tions among the various Railway cor porations. With a branch from this mint to Sheffield it would be among tho most remunerative investments that could be made in this vicinity. It is to be hoped that the company will not delay their engineer nny longer in completing the survey ofthe Tionesta Valley, as the Baltimore & Ohio Railway will "cook their goose" for them if they succeeded in heading off Mr. ' Whittekia, the engineer in charge, and get their line into Kane before bo can to Sheffield. Wo New School Mouse. At the election last Saturday the project of erecting a new school build ing was voted dowu by a majority of eight, and as a consequence there will bo no new buildiog for a time at least. It may bo that this was a wise decii ion ; we hopa it was, but we can hardly bring ouraelf to believe that there is much prosperity in store for a town which will vote down a measure which seemed so plain to be for the best in terests of the town, in the way of build ing it up aud bringing immigration to our shores. However, we believe no one has the disposition to grumble at tho result, and it may bo that lio nesta will be better able to stand the expense a year or two hence. . Tidiotto Talk.

The so-called field is what is known to the outside world ns the Blue Jay well No. 2, and being manytirnes asked concerning its exact locality wo are furnished the following description by a party w ho h:is boen on the ground and mndo surveys in the immediate vicinity : The well ii locife 1 on too southeast corner of tract 2,!))7, known us the Cooper Iriict, in Howe township, about 400 feet from Tionesta creek, and about 3-5 feet above the waters of said stream". A little to the north of it is a small stteam known as Messenger's Run which enter the Tionesta from the west, oae-half mils above the Mouth of the Blu Jay, which enters from the east side of the Tionesta and abut GOO feet below Blue Jay No. 1. . The well has been drilled to a deptd of 1,284 foet, so said by cno of the drillers. From Saturday roon until Sunday noon the well pot three and one-fourth inches in a 600 barrel tauk or a little less than 15 barrel. The saud is the same as that at Stone ham and Clarendon. As it is situated only about one aud one-half miles from to Forest County line it may be con fidently expected to open up the ter ritory from Stoneham to Foxes, and then continue on South taking iu the whole central part of Forest County.

It flowed so frequently aud made such large flows that the most skeptical could not but believe that it was drawing its supply from a largo de posit. Its average for the first few days after connection was made with the tank was '45 barrels a day. When it was turned into a new GOO barrel tank, a week ago yesterday, it was still doing nearly 35 barrels. But the most trustworthy reports do not place its production to day at above 18 barrels Oil was struck in this well at 1280 feet. Thi3 point corresponds with a formation which was drilled through in Blue Joy No. 1, in which gas was found, but no oil. In the latter well, the crude was struck nearly 200 feet deeper. To this latter saud, if it ex ists there, Blue Jay No. 2 has not been drilled, but it is drawing its oil from the same depth at which Blue Jay No. 1 found gas aud no oil. The differ ence in the oil from the two wells also proves thut it comes from district for mations. The petroleum of Blue Jay No. 1, ia 36 gravity ; of Blue Jay No. 2, 49 gravity, aud the latter is a lighter color than the other. North aud east of these two strikes, rigs are building, and more tests of that section will be made iu a month or two. Dr. S. S. Towler writes from Mar ienville that the only operation iu that viciuity is his own well, which is beiug deepened. The Doctor adJs: "Every thing calm enough here.
