Iu the meantime prepare yourself for the excursion. Tho Democratic primaries took place a week ago Saturday. There was no contest except on the Sbdrifl- ality, and that could hardly bo called a contest. J S. Hood of this borough was nominated. T. F. Ritchey Eq., was elected Chairman of the Co. Com mittee. 119 votes were polled. No. 19 of Saalfield's 10c. Libra ries contains the following beautiful selections of music: "King's High way;" "What Jack will Say;" Pearly Dewdrop.". This is the cheap est nnd best publication of tho kind extant. Twelve numbers for 81.00, or 10 cents each. R. A. Saalfield, 839 Broadway, N. Y. We learn with regret that Dr. Blaine has dispoeed of his iuterests in Tionesta and will shortly move to Plensantville, there to engage in the drug business and practice his profess ion. Tionesta loses an excellent phy sician in the departuro of Dr. Blaine, and the town of Plensantville gaiDS one of which it may well feel proud. We wish the Doctor aud bis family pros perity and happiness in their pew field. The Fourth passed off very quietly in this place owing to the critical con dition of the President. Several of the young people "picniced" iu the grove at Tubbs Run and report a pleasant time. On Thursday another pic-oic was arranged and would doubt less have proved an enjoyable affair had not a heavy rain storm in the afternoon put a damper on it. .Not to bo bafiled, however, tho picnicers re paired to the Lawrence Hall aud had a happy time. At a meeting of the borough school board last Wednesday evening the following teachers were elected for the ensuing year : First room, Miss Minnie Freeman, a former resident of this place ; second, or intermediate room, Miss Sue Evans, of Tidioute; third, or primary department, Miss Kerr, of this county. These ladies aro all highly recommended as teachers, and will doubtless give good satisfaction. Let tho patrons give them all possible help aud encourage rneut. The echools will besin on the first Monday in September. The Newtown end of the Whi Hill mail route has been cut off. The mail now runs from Whig Hill to East Hickory and return every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, thus giving the citizens of Whig Hill and vicinity three mails per week. All mail mat ter intended for Whig Hill 6hould hereafter bo sent by way of East Hickory. Our ueighbors feel very much elated over their success in securing such favorable mail facilities, and the individuals who were instru mental iu bringing them about ought to f- "eivo the thanks of the cominu- V lhursday morning of last week Judge Taylor, of Franklin, arrived in Tionesta ou the bunt of his favorite setter dog, "Night," whom be had lost while hunting woodcock near Trun- keyville a day or two previous. We bad the pleasure of accompanying the Judge to that place in a buggy, where, after considerable inquiry and fussing around the dog was fouud at Russell Brown's, opposite Trunkeyville. To say that the Judge was pleased to get his dog back is putting it mild ; a boy with his first pair of red-top boots, or a new pair of skates would have been away in the shade. Ou Friday, in company with the Judge and Mr. Jairus Reck we scoured the islands above town for woodcock, and although tho birds woie very 6carce, enough were fouud aud bagged to prove that the distinguised Judge can dispatch woodcock on the wing as skillfully as he does legal business. Tho first of May last Mr. Hen derson, of East Hickory, one of our candidates for County Commissioner, was attacked with a severe pain in his ear, caused from taking cold on a raft, Though bo was in Pittsburgh at tho time be thought it would soon stop, and came homo to be disappointed For seven weeks ho euflcred the most terrible torture. A large tumor grew up in the ear and was removed, when another took its place. The side of his face swelled around his ear to the size of half of a trood sized orange. Ou tho 22d of last mouth he went to Pitts burgh again, to Dr. Sadler tho Oculist and Aurist, who was so successful last month in restoring the son of Mr. John Hunter, of Tidioute, from a disease of tho ear which threatened his life, few of his neighbors thinking ho woul uovtr recover. Mr. Henderson says the Doctor rlicvd him vt u!l puiu tho first day, nnd though there were holes in his face and behiud the eir iulir.it iny t"ic probo an inch and a half, he ha9 improved rapidly uatil ho fetU about us well as ever and can hear a watch tick. Mr. II. will be able to make it warm for some of bis oppo nents in the canvass this fall. A Happy Occasion. On Monday evening, tho 11th inst., before the sun went down in the occidental sky, a party of tho friends of J. L. Craig, our popular railroad agent, met under the maples in front of his residence, on the left bank of the beautiful Allegheny, where they sat waiting his arrival. Soon he hove in s'ght, nnd beheld tho group, con sisting of an ex-Judge, a Colonel, Cab inet mau, "a grocer nud baker and a candle atick makr." a member of tho Legislature, Ab. Grove, and last but not least, three lawyers and three fiddlers. Perhaps it flashed through his mind just then, it was the anniver sary of his birthday. V e are not going to give Mr. C. away by saying just what birthday, but it was one of them. A feast of humor and a flow of soul followed, but his estimable lady wisely thinking Mr. C.s' friends could not live on fun and music alone, got up such an excellent repast that those present will not soon forget. A nickle plated lantern, a gift of railroad friends, supplemented the moon in its bright light on the auspacious occa sion.. Forest Oil New3. The following notes from the Foiest County field, aro tho latest wo can obtain before going to press: The well put duwn by the P. & E. company on the Cook lot stopped short of the sand for reasons best known, perhaps, to the owners them selves. We are reliably informed that it will be drilled deeper, and a good well is expected Tho well on Bush Creek, on 150 acres of tract owned by W. D. Wopd & Co., was due Saturday night. The Green and Darling well on the Cooper tract, No. 2991, is now due, and the Fox and Reed well will be due this week. There is a rig being builded on sub division 44 on tract No. 2995, and one almost completed on the west end of the Stewart tinct, No. 2848. Mageo & Horton, No. 2, on tho Doualdson farm, i3 at tho top of the sand, awaiting tho construction of suitable tankage, The Ashley lot will bo punctured shortly by D. D. Clark Esq., of this place Thomas Porter's lot, west half of No. 318G, controlled by Tate, Wolcott & Co., was sold out by thorn to Cham bers and Fisher of Oil City, who iuteud to operate their purchase. They have leased one bundled acres in the south end of the lot. Tho Balltown well, delayed some two weeks by a fishing job, was due yesterday. Maiuwarring and Vandergrift are pushing their well on the south end of C. W. Hares' tract, No. 5102. Follow in' on down the belt we come to the last venturo on this line in tlio county. It is located on the soutb end of tract No. 5134, Kmgsley township, and owned bv J. C. Cornweil Esq. At the present writing the drill is thuinpin away for succoss, somewhere below 150 feet. Grove & Wolcott, on this side of the river, opposite Trunkeyville, will surely strike oil or nothirg insido of thirty dys. Meanwhile the Blue Jay district keeps up to the usual production Lands along the line are eagerly sought after, and not readily ob tamed. rending operations are pushed forward vigorously and cheer fully, and we think within ninety days it will be pretty certainly determined whether or not tho Blue Jay wells mark the southern portion of the pool Notice.

John Root died at the residence of his son, Mr. A. B. Root, in Kingsley to A'nship, Forest Co., Pa.. July 9th, 1881, in the 89th year of his age. Bro. Root was born of respectable parentage in Madison county, JNew Yoik, where ho remained 41 years, an honored and respected citizen by all. lie served his beloved country as a soldier during the war of 1812, faithfully and honorably. Thus these old Patriots are falling; one by one they are passing away. He moved to the State of Michigan, where he remain ed a much respected and useful member ol society for 40 years. The last four years of his life were spent iu the fam ily of his son, Mr. A. B. Root, Forest Co.. Pa., by whom ho received tho tenderest care that loveing hearts aod ready hands could confer, making his last days pleasant and happy. lie gave his heart to God many years ego, and bis name to the M. 1. Church, in whose communion he rcmaiucd a fai'.h ful and coneistant member until the weary wheels of lifo stood still. He left many loviug hearts to mourn, (and yet they need not mourn, for as a shock of corn fully ripo, ho doubtless has been gathered into the garner of God on hieh), they hope to meet again. J. F.

Silvkr Cliff, Colo., July '81. My Dear Mr. Wenk : I told you when I left dear old Forest that if there was anything worth recording that I would indite you a short epistle. I cannot say that I adm'uo this country very much, the days are warm, with cool nifrhts. many high winds - a carrying clouds upon clouds of dust ; ono's dresses get spoilt entirely, and it tans complexions to the color of Mftxican's. Oh. for ihe dear grateful shade, and purlin streams of charmin;; Tionesta; no such delightful walks bore, nolh ing but the bare "mesa ; a Jew, very few scatteriug, stunted piuos, not eh.i.lo enough to L'ivo one's beau !i n - a chance to hug you. 1 should enjoy th.) ililves around here, if it wero not vtr KieaelU dust : it eutei cupboards, bureaus, trunk?, fills your oyea, ears -nnd at timr.3 it is ahuot Etifling: Wo h:vo r,o rain hero ex cept in tho "rainy f.eanon," which will commenco about tho 45th iujt. t In driving over tlio'mepa" you bco lots of the- cunning, lltlla. prario dogs, and gopher?, a .fow blue birds,-ml cf i chattering magpies. I have -one a ; gentleman ffie'nd caught for me ; it is real tamo, and I urn teaching it to say Jakf ;" aiu't that thoughtful of me? I would teach it tq.pay "Davy" and "Billy," but th'6n yo would be so jealous. Oh! I had almost forgotten : we had a real, live circus a few days since ; Mr. CoIes. It was" rather tame ; tho performers said the air was so light at this altitude that they had no energy. (I think that's what ails tho men hero.) They, charged $1.50 ad mission, 'allee sameo')":I guess the al titude affected that, too. This city lias seven or eight thousand inhabitants but business is quite dull. Houses very poor; rents high ; soRre provisions aud dry goods. There are , lots of nice mines hero but they have very few Mills, or Smelters, I think they call them. There are soveral strangers here to spend tho summer, as it is considered very healthy. "Ten- derf'tet," a3 they call newcomars, ara liable to pneumonia, also mountain fever; for tho fever, mountaiu sago tea, or "Burro punch" is a specific. Tho majestic Langre de Christo is on our west a few miles off ; on thu East almost in the city limits is Round -Mountain, from whose apex can bo seen the Spanish Peako on the South ; Pikes Peak on the East, and the Con tinental Divide ou the northwest. Grape creek runs along our pretty valley, but the trout are gelling scarce ; I went fishing one day, and my beau put a nasty hopper on ; I believe it frightened tlio trout ; at least I did not catch any. Tho banks were bo rotten he had to hold me to keep me on terra firrua. We enjoyed ourselves hugely, evou if we caught no fish. I went on nn excursion to the Lake of the Clouds), a four horse team, and lots of gentlemen ; 'twas an awful job getting there, the snow in some places was 15 feet deep ; wo had to walk and scramble for two miles up the moun tain. There aro several gentlemen from Pennsylvania, and Bome few ladies here. Rich miners are scarco and not much on the marry, so I advise my dear sisters to bo content with a Buck wheat if they caunot catch an Oil Prince. With kindest regards to J). W.
