papers that Prof. A. C. Porter, for
merly principal of our borough schools

Superintendent in that county.
Should the school directors select him

it, as he is unquestionably well quali

He has had many years successful ex

Learning that there was consider
able sickness iu town and vicinity we
called on Dr. Blaine, who reports that
Don. Davis, twin sou of Hon. E. L.
Davis, who has been very low with
diphtheria, is now convalescent. Gil-
bert, tho other twin, is still quite ill
with if Bruce Clark, of whom mention
was made in our last issue, is well, but
Ruth, the next to youngest, was at
tacked yesterday also diphtheria.
George Jackson is about the house
again and Miss Anna is able to sit up
both diphtheria. Mrs. Van Giesen
slowly growing better from her Jung
trouble. Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Chad
wick, both much better. Dickie,
grandson of Col. Peterson, of Trunkey
ville, is rapidly recovering from the
croup. Mr?. S. Burhen, of Dutch
Hill, much better from attack of fever.
Mr. Ercksoo, whom we meatioued last
week as having his leg broken, was
taken to his home at Irvineton by Dr.
Blaine on Monday last ; he is getting
along nicely and comfortable. Ijymau
Cook's children havo about recovered
from scarlet fever. Calvin Arner,
whose leg was amputated by Drs.
Blaine and Davis, in February last, is
up and about the house. This is par
ticularly gratifying to his lrieuds as
the leg was amputated on account of
gangrene extending up to the kute.
Mr. Peter Berry ailed upon ns
Monday. Ho ii busily pushing oper
ations at Balltown, and expects soon
to have the new well at that place
under way. The deep snow yet lying
in tho woods is and has been a great
drav-back to them, but it cannot last
a great while longer. Mr. Berry in
forms us that Maj. Good,inan has fitted
up the boarding house at Balltown in
good shape and is prepared now to
furuish accommodations to nil who
happen that way. A good bed, a meal
of victuals, cigars and tobacco may bo
had at any tim?. There will doubtless
be considerable travel in that direction
this summer, and those who stop with
the hospitable Major can depend on
being well taken care of.
Raftiug during the past week has
been unufually active. There ha9 not
been a day since Tuesday last but that
more or less lumber has been run out
of the creek; and many wero obliged
to start their rafts to market before
thev were entirely ready in order to
make room at the "mouth" for "coup
ling up." The lumber is by no means
all out yet, and judging from the out
look of the weather at this writing the
water will remain in good rafting stage
for several days, allowing all to get
out nicely. Considering the large
amount run out there was very little
lumber wasted or stove-tip." and
lumbermen and jobbers have been
quite fortunate. From the reports
from down the river wo judge the
market has no downward tendency
yet, but price promiso to remain firm
and good. It is hoped that such may
be the case and our lumbermeu re
turn with their pockets bulging out
with cash.
A second corps of eogineers arri
ved on Monday evening and com
menced at the mouth of the creek, aud
are working their way up theTionesta
Valley. Mr. Stevenson, of Oil City
is the chief. D. W. Clark, of this,
place, is along with them. The inten
tion, wo believe, is to survey up the
Valley to meet F. F. Whittekin's
corps, who are making down the creek
with the line. With such active and
efficient men the line will soon be sur
veyed and the route located for the
long talked of railroad. This route
will open up the resources of Forest
county more than anything siuco its
organization. Different opinions pre
vail as to the effect on Tiouesta itself,
but the people generally of the county
will bo benefitted by the road, and
"the greatest good to the greatest num
her" is the true motto. The treasures
of "The Big Wood," will be opened
up and a general prosperity will be
the consequouce.

'
The editor of tho Democrat once
more takes occasion tn vent his spleen
and personal hatred, through the col
umns of his paper, against oua of the
most peacablo and universally re
spected citizens of our borough, in last
week's issue ; we have reference to his
unwarranted attack upon Esquire
Brennan. The owner of that paper
has long held a bitter personal grudge
against Mr. Brennan, aud after weeks
and months of diligent search has
found what he considers a pretext for
opening up his slander-batteries upon
him. He has fouud that in his offic ial
capacity as Justice of the Peace he has
charged the lawful fee of 15 cents for
writing and making out a probate for
a fox scalp. He states that it is the
custom all over the county, where a
man brings iu two or more scalps to
probate them in a lot. This is a de
liberate falsehood ; deliberate because
the editor knew and vaw differently
when he was huuting up evidenco
aeainst Esq. Brennau. It is almost
the universal custom to make them
out separately, which the law gives a
Justice the right to do. Tho very
blanks used for the purpose show that
it is the intention otthe law to allow
Justices the fee upon each one, as but
onescalpcan be described ou each blank
To show that it is the custom to make
Beperate probates wo have been shown
four by Esq. Allison, of Hickory, to
cue man ou the same day and date,
for fox scalps; three by Associato
Judge Kerr, of Baruett, to one Man
ou tbe same date; two by Jas. A.
Scott Esq., of Jenks, same man, same
date, &c. ; five by Sheriff Randcll,
formerly Justice iu the borough, same
date, Ac, acd six by D. S. Knox Esq ,
to one mau ou same date. There are
mauy other like instances we might
mention but these are sufficient to
prove that the editor lied about the
mailer, and kuew that ho was lying
when he made (he uteition. Does
the Danorrat ray that all thefe gentle
men acted diahonescly in tho matter?
wo hope not. A to Kepler's imputa
tions of Mr. Brennan's neglect of duty
as Commissioneis' Clerk, that is so
much of hiii over-abundance of mind
wasted, as all who havo ever had busi
ness with the county know that no
mora efficient or accommodating gen
tleman could be placed in that capac
ity. He attends to tho duties of the
office in a superior manner and to the
entire satisfaction of the honorable
hoard of Commissioners, and the pea
pie rrenerallv. We do not know as

Mr. Brennan will thank us for pick
ing up this matter, but we are not
trying to vindicate him, for he ueeds
no vindication from any slanders etna
uating from such a source ; we only
mention the matter to show the animus
of the animal, and if Mr. B. will over
look this offotiie on our part wo will
promise not to notice any further slush
that may flow from the owner of the
Democratie slauder-slinger.- The same
malicious and dastardly motives have
prompted him iu all his attacks upon
peaceable and highly respected citi
zens. Forest County Oil News.
From the Derrick we glean the fol
lowing news concerning oil operation
in this county : 1
BLUE JAY DISTRICT.
Horton & Kerbeger's No. 2, near
tho Blue Jay No. 1, lost the tools in
the hole Friday. Mike A"eenan, the
driller, got fishing tools, and iu an
hour and a dalf had the last stem out
upon tbe ground, and to day it was
being fixed iu Clark's machine shop at
Clarendon. The well was 800 feet
deep wheo the tools broke.
The Darling well, or Blue Jav No.
2, fell off to two and one-half inches
for thd 24 hours ending Sunday morn
ing. This sudden drop was a surprise
to all, until the oil made its appear
ance through tho casing outside the
tubing. It is supposed the well is
choked up with . paraffine, and has
bursted the packer. Workmen started
for the well to-day for the purpose of
cleaning it out.
Pratt, Filkins & Dimmick will soon
locate a well on the Stewart property,
three miles south of Blue Jay.
As soon as pipe line connections are
made with tho Blue Jay district,
shot will be put in the Darling well,
and her capacity as a producer thor
ouphlv tested. No. 1 will also be
c
cleaned out and shot in tho upper sand
from which tho Darling draws its
crude. No. 1 has beeu making an
inch a day for nearly two months, be
sides a showing of oil out of the casing
which the owDers thiuk. may come
from tho second sand.
The pipe to make the line couuec
tions with these wells is now ou the
ground, and work will be commenced
on it as soon as the snow is out of the
woods.
MARIENVILLE.
Dr. S. S. Towler's well, on Salmon
creek, near Marieuville, Forest
county, is down betweeu 1,000 an
1,700 feet with a broken band wheel
and a dilapidated sand whoel and 6hut
down for repairs. The well has passed
through two sands. The first was
struck at 1,400 feet ; the Becond at
1.490. This well U north and west of
four wells drilled by Dr.Towleron Mill

the other side from them of tho divid
