William Silves, an employe of McNair & Co.'s saw mill at Sheffield, was instantly killed on Monday morn ing last. He was assisting in loadiug and placing some cars, and while be tween the card attempting to couple two of them together his head was caught between the bumpers and crushed killing him instantly. He was about SO years of age and leaves a wife and two small children. Our in formants are Messrs. Seybolt & Black, who arrived there about the time the accident occurred. Who is she ? The Derrick of yes terday says : A woman hailing from Tionesta was iu town yesterday, hunt ing for her husbaud, who had either strayed or stolen away. She made diligeut inquiry for him having called on ticket agents McCuen and Rich no fewer than twenty times during the day, asking each tinia if they had seen anything of him or sold any man of his description a ticket to iiTansas City or any other western point. At last Recounts the was in search of a justice who would issue a warrant for her. Jim Babb came near having a serious time with his mules on Mon day evening last.

When the mules got to the bottom of the hill there were very few staves left in the wagon, but no great damages was done. Jim hat bud luck with mules, it Beems, he having been kicked clear out of time by one not a great while ago. Better get oxen, Jim. Thomas Mack Dead. Thomas Mack, whoso family resides near Jauiieso'i's Station, about two miles above town, and who was well known in this community, died at Bradford, Pa., on Sunday evening last, May 1st, of lung fever, after an illness of a litth more than a week. This iisws was a sad surprise to many of our citizens who esteemed Mr. Mack high ly as an industrious and honorable cit izen. He came to this section when work on the Railroad fiist began, aud until a year or two ago had charge of tho section of the road between Jamie sou's aud West Hickory. IIo went to the Bradford region last October, and obtained u similar position on one of the railroads of that section. Person ally we had a high regard for Mr. Mack and are sorry indeed to learn of his sudden taking off. II id remains were taken to Ellicotville, N. Y., for burial. He leaves a wife and several children basides uiaoy friends to mourn hid loss. Ho was about 55 years of uge. Tli new superintendent. J.

Before tho balloting began a discuss ion arose as tj the eligibility of two directors from the Independent Dis trict of Green township. It was decided they were ineligible and the balloting commenced. After the third ballot the questiou again arose and considerable time was con sumed in diacussiug the matter. A committee of fiv was appointed to in quire into the matter ; they reported favorably, and the two contestants were allowed seats in the Convention. The first ballot stood aj follows : Hillard 21; Miss Copeland 14 ; Will iams 9 ; Ladds 1. The fifteenth ballot resulted as fol lows : Hillard 19, Copeland 18; Will iams 9.

FOfiEST OIL NOTES. From a gentleman who has been thero wc learn the following reliable news from the Blue Jay district: The Darling well, snaietimes called Blue Jay No. 2, was shot and is doing nicely. Dimmick is building a rig on the east end of the Cook land. Pat terson & Leedom are building a rig on warrant 2735, north of the Darling well about one mile. Conley has a rig up on the Fox Farm Oil Co. lands, about one mile west of tho Darling well. There is a rig also started on the west end of warrant 3189, on what is known as the Ashly land. Mr. Fox has laid out a number of lots, and is renting them at fcl.zo per foot front. A hotel will be oponed the first m next week, which is very much needed. Blue Jay No. 2 fiuished drilling Friday at a depth of 149G feet. She struck the same at 1482, and had 12 feet of fair sand. No. 2 is 25 feet higher than No. 1, and No. 1 struck the sand at 1454. No. 2 filled up 700 feet from 10 a. m. to 5 p. in., Friday, with considerable gus. She was shot Saturday and made a good flaw. She will be good for 10 bairels. The Magce & Horton well, on the Donaldson farm, four and one-half miles northeast of Blue Jay No. 1, is reported good for from 10 to 40 bar rels. uperators who have land near them say it is good for 40 barrels, and those that have land farther away think she will not be good for over 10 barrels. Time only will tell what she is. Iu summing up and commenting on operations for the month of April tho Derrick has the following among other things : "During tho month of May, the principal points of iuterests will be Cornen's well, south of Clarendon, w here there is a chance of fiuding an oil saud below thatatStoneham ; Roth it Crowell's well uear the above and to tho northwest, and some of tho ventures in the Wellsvillo field. Dr. Towler has a well 1.C50 feet deep in Forest county near Marieuville which will also be an important venture Beyond these, there will be nothing to attract special attention among the wells for this month." Will S. Reynold of tho Ilryn- ohhvillc l'apcr goes to New York to take a position on one of the city papers. Mr. Brandon takes his place on the J'aper. Mr. Reynolds in his good-bye says: We do not wish to be understood that we are progressing in importance by exchanging the rural for the metropolitan press, for there is no calling more responsible, more im portant, than that of a country weekly 1 lii ideas go into more homes and 4 .... awaker more tefcliog ; draw nearer around a greater number of hearts; wield more political iufluence than the greater publications of the citien. Not at the seat oT government, but at the hearthstone where opinion is made, and where are chosen the reprcseuta tatives of a "government of the people by the people, and for the people." Possibly this power in the State is not conceded by persons who know the rural editor, who have looked upon the squalor of his home, and have been importunately urged to satisfy a small I subscription or advertising account; but go into the macbinesbop of the nation, examine its workings and you will find its motive power is the en gine of rural journalism. No states man or geueral, however eminent, will deny the country press its credit, What said Hume? "Its liberties and the liberties of the people must stand or fall together!" And Wendell Phillips? "Let me- make the news papers, and I cate not who makes the religion or the laws!" What the first Napoleon? "Four hostile newspapers are mora to be dreaded than a hun dred thousand bayonets !" Railroad Notes. 'lho engineers engaged in surveying the railway line in the Tionesta Valley met last Friday at noon and connected their line in good shape. Messrs. Ste venson & Whittekin came to town the same evening and departed on the 7:49 p.m. train for Oil City, where they will map up their Hues and get things in order for the final touch to put men to work at grading and make the necessary estimates of construction. We did not get time to talk with either of them iu relation thereto, and in C3usequence can not, at the present time, give as complete an account of the line as we should like to, but will gather as fast as possible and give it to our readers as fresh as can be ob tained. We did learn this much partly from the engineers and partly from Mr. Clark, that tho line is a trifle over 40 miles iu length including the biidge across the Allegheny river at this placed and various other little ad ditions which the line of '67 did not have. Mr. Clark informs us that the difl'erance of elevation between Tio nesta aud Sheffield is 2823 feet or but a trifle over seven feet per mile. This grade can not be beateu in this part of the State and through as rough a country. With a road up the Tio nesta Valley all of our vast lumber and timber tracts could be reached and made remunerative to the owners and profitable to the parties hauling their product over their line. Thous ands of cords of bark would find a ready market which at present cannot be reached at all. Present appearan ces a that Forest couuty is to be the objective oil field of the future and with our other mineral resources would certainly warrant the building of a road in the Valley. Probably not less than 10 to 15 million of lumber and timber was run out of the creek this spring. With shipments like that would soon pay for a road and leave a handsome balance for stockholders. What will be done with the enterprise is Dot yet certain, but it is hoped that it will be built the coming summer. The contract for building tho Buffalo and Brocton division of the B. P. & W. Railroad wai let oue day la6t week to the Simpson Construction Company of New York. This is the same company that last summer did the work on tho Chautauqua Lake road that of filling the numerous trusties on said road. The company is solid and what it undertakes to do w ill turely be done. Oh, Yes ! We are ready to furnish all standard goods at lowest possible figures. Talk is cheap, but goods and prices tell.

Mr. Irwin has spent. much time, rarofully revising it, from.1 drafts of original surveys, examination of the Recorder's Books', Records 'of ' roads, &c, and alt the 'source of in formation ho could avail himself of, in order to render it n perfect as itwelV -could be. After a careful aud'triliciil examination of it, and comparing' u 1 with so-called maps of Forest County; ' issued by stranger's to tfie land and fry the people, we believe it is the only reliable map. The roads and stream are laid, down so plainly that a taveler, the business man, the hunter, and the fishermau can with the aid of one of these map.i, a pocket rule and a coin pass, find his bearings at all times. While complete in general particulars it is wonderfully accurate in detail.' Iu short haijj, iu our opinion, a great amount of accurate information than' all the maps purporting to represent our territory combined. The engrav ing is doue by the hand of that master workmau J.
