Mr. Jake Goettel, of the Oil City
oil exchange was in town a short time
lust week. Mr. G. is well-known to

somewhat interested in Forest county
territory.
We met Rev. Elliott, formerly of

-Messrs. Chas. B. Evans of tho B
P. & W. R'y, and J. P. II. Jones, of
Norristown, Pa., passed through town
Monday, en route for the trout streams
of the upper Tionesta. Going thus
early, and being well supplied with
the best of fishing tackle, &c, they
will doubtless have a fine time, and
come back loaded with speckled beau
ties. Next Monday will be Decoration
Day and as yet there is not the least
sign that the day will be observed in
this phice. The cemetery is now in
splendid order, better in fact than it
has ever been before, and we hope, for
the honor and respect of the town the
day will not be allowed to pass with
out tho proper observance. Let some
one move in tho matter.
From the present time until next
fall, persons will either be coining to
Tionesta to visit, or will be going
away to see frieuds. Now as we are
very desirous that the arrival or de
parture of every person should be duly
chronicled our friends will favor us by
dropping a postal card containing such
information or by calling at this office
and giving the uotice.
Mr. G. W. Sawyer, who repre
sented the Tionesta Odd Fellows at
the meeting of the Grand Lodge of this
State, at llarrisburg, last week, re
turned on Friday. While there he
stopped with Representative Davis,
who, by the-way, has bceu confioud to
bis bed with a severe attack of malar
ial fever for the past week or two, but
Mr. S. reported him somewhat on the
mond when he left.
Here is a good recipe for killing
a town: "Uudeirato every present and
prospective enterprise; speak ill of
the churches aud schools ; tell every
body the hotels are bad ; enlarge the
vices of the people ; withhold patron
age from your merchants and trads-
men, and buy your goods aud grocer
ies at some other place; never sub
scribe for your local paper, and, if you
are iu business, refuse to advertise."

D. W. Clark's daughter, Effie,
who was very low with the diphtheria,
had a serioua relapse, and at present
is in a critical condition. Miss Belle
Smith who formerly worked for Mr.
Clark, and did a washing there on
Monday ef last week, is at present
down with the tame disease at Mr.
Eagles' reeideuce. It will be well
enough tor our citizens to exercise
proper precaution in these matters and
thereby prevent a spread of the. dis
ease. The following cases were disposed
of by the court last week in addition
to those reported in our last : Moyer
vs. Haslet and Bhine ; verdict for the
plaintiffin the sum of'$17.96. Winans
estate vs. Nancy Dawson ; verdict for
plaintiff for 871.50. D. R. Walters
vs. Sam'l Whitten ; verdict for de

The constable election contest, Jas.

Mr. Philo Williams, of Barnett
township, met with quite a severe ac
cident Vhile attending conrt here last
week, He was helping to unload a
grain drill from a wagon in 'Squire
Brennan's lane, when his hold slipped
and the machine struck him a violent
blow on the head, knocking him
against the wagou box, and cutting
great gash in his forehead. He was
taken into the 'Squire's house, aud Dr,
Morrow dressed the wonnds. After
recuperating somewhat he was able to
drive home in the afternoon.
To-morrow (Thursday) Morris,
the well known Tailor, of Oil City,
will be in town with a full line of sam
ples of the newest and best cloths, and
take orders for suits. He will be found
at the Lawrence House, where all in
need of anything in his line should
call and take advantage of the oppor
tunity of gettirjg a splendid suit, at 20
to 25 per cent, lower than the same
can be had of any other tailor. Mr,
Morris ha3 a good trade from .this
place generally, and has always given
good satisfaction to his customers
Don't forget to call aud examino his

Last Friday eveuing Robert Pat
terson, who works on the Beaver Val

the left hand, and lurceratmg the
others. Dr. Blaine was called who
amputated the first finger midway be
tween the knuckle and the first joint,
diessed tho others and left his patient
comfortable. This case illustrates the
benefits of the telephone : the accident
occurred at 4:30 p. in. ; a messenger
went to Brace's mill and telephoned
to Hickory aud it was telegraphed
thence to Tionesta, reachiug Dr.
Blaine by 5 o'clock, and the Doctor
reached his patient at 7;40 three
hours and ten minutes the distance
being fifteen miles.
The election contest between Jas.
Swailes and Jas. Walters over the
Constabulary of Tionesta Borough,
was decided in our courts last week iu
favor of Mr. Walters, the successful
candidate at the late spring election.
The plaintiff charged that the defend
ant had not been a resident of the
Stats long enough to be eligible to the
office, but it seems the court thought
he had. The worst of the whole mat
ter is that the poor borough was sad
dled with the cost; but we suppose we
will not hear much about this matter
from those who sent up such a howl
about costs, Ac, w hen the contest of a
few years ago was going on in the
county ; several of those who growled
the most and made the biggest fuss at
th tim 6igned Mr. bwafles petition
for this contest. This is doubtless a
new type of Greenback reform and
retrenchment.

' FOREST OIL NOTES.
From a reliable source we leara
that the Blue Jay district is holding
its own.; that is, all ihe wells that
have produced pil are still keepiug up
their production. Several new rigs,
aro being started and new leases being
taken. The Richburg,- N. Y., district,
for a few days, produced quite a diver
sion to oil operators, but many that
have been through that country in the
last few days have returned, and think
Forest county is the next new oil field.
Mr. J. C. Cornwell, of Stoneboro,
has let the contract to Mr. II. II.
Keeler of putting down a well near
Root & Watson's mill, in Kingsley
township, about three miles east of
Tionesta creek. The well is located
on the Russell tract No. 5134, and
near the A. Palmer tract No. 5156,
owned by Bonner ot Cornwell. It is
on the 45 degree line connecting the
upper aud lower oil fields aud on
which the Blue Jay wells are bituated
If oil is found it will prove the cor
redness of the line beyond a doubt
and open up an immense territory. It
is expected the well will be completed
in a month or less.
Grove, Hart & Co. have driven
stakes for a new wildcat well on the
hill on the east side of the Allegheny
river, opposite Trunkeyville. They
are already getting rig stuff on the
ground and will start the dtill some
lime next week.
"Dr. Towler's well, on warrant
3171, near Marienville, Forest county,
has reached a depth of 2,000 feet aud
is pronounced dry. A number of
sands were passed through ; but, with
a siugle exception, they were all dry.
This sand, which was about seventy
feet in thickness, was found 1,700 feet
from the surlace, and on a level, it is .
claimed, corresponding with the oil- i
bearing sand at the Darling well, in
the Blue Jay region. The sand in
question contained some oil and con
siderable gas. The well will probably
be torpedoed in tb supposed Darling
sand, and until theu its fate will re
main a mystery." Kane Blade.
We learn that Dr. Towler has lo
cated another well a short distance
from the above one and will commence
operations within a week or two.
The Derrick Las the following :
"The Mfgee & Horton well is still
holding its own nicely, and doing
about five inches a day iu the 800
barrel tank.
"The work of drilling a pocket in
the Green Bros. & Darling well has
been completed, and is now tubed and
werking in gor.d shape again. Mr.
Green, one of the owners, said to-day
that it started off at forty barrels."
