Near Maricnville, tfii.i co'inty, there i9 a largo tract of cleared land known as tho "Beaver Meadows," from which the citizens living near by cut arge quantities of hay and stack it up for winter use. The continued drouth has caused the soil to become very dry, and it recently got afire and de stroyed quite a number of hay-stacks, entailing quite a serious loss to the citizens, who depend upon the hay thus gathered to winter their stock. It is almost impossible to extinguish a fire when it once gets a start in these meadows. The present drouth is theK"mo?t general in all parts cf tho United States than any that has occurred in many years, and it is becoming very alarming. In many quarters the peo ple are suffering for water. In Rich mond, Va., the inhabitants are obliged to carry water a great distance, and it sells for 5 and 10 cents a pailful. Fall crops are drying up, and pasturage is almost entirely ruined. The corn crop of the great West it is thought will be a total failure. The buckwheat and potato crop of this section of country will bo very slim unless rain soon comes, of which there is little prospect now. Our old friend and" patron Thos. Porter, of Howe twp., was in town last week. We are sorry to learn that he contemplates going west in a short time, having disposed of all of his property in this county. Mr. Porter came to Forest county, we believe, in 1846, when all was a howling wilder ness, and when he was yet a young man. 1I toiled hard and maintained an honest livelihood for himself and family, and now that he has become comfortably fixed we would like to see him remain and enjoy himself the bal ance of his days ; but we are not tbe doctor, and wherever he may cast his lot we wish him peace and prosperity. Presuming that an act abolishing the office of Jury Commissioner had passed the Legislature last winter, many of the counties in the State did not place candidates for this office on the tickets. Forest county was among the rest. It uow turns out that the act did not pass, and it will be neces sary to elect two Jury Commissioners in this county this fall, as the terms of the gentlemen now serving in that ca pacity will expire on tbe first of Jan uary. Would it not be proper for our County Committee, to hold a meeting, say ou court week, for the purpose of placing the names of good men ou our ticket to be voted for this fall This matter is important and should not be overlooked. There are many persons who seem to have but little, if any idea, ot tho cost and labor of conducting county newspaptr, and appear to think it is the duty of the editor and publisher to serve them free of charge Men who would not think of going into a grocery store to ask for a pound of sugar for nothing, or to the tailo or shoemaker to have their coat o shoes repaired free of charge, will walk into a printing office and requst a notice of their business, or something in which they are interested, without even thinking of offering any compen sation. Ot course it never occurs to them that the paper, ink, labor, etc., have to be paid for as any other com modity. A newspaper is as necessary in a community as is a grocery, a hotel, a shoe shop, a blacksmith shop, as anything else, and the publisher is as much entitled to bo paid for his time and services and material, as any other person. And it is high time all persons should understand this fact, and act upon it. Exchange. We have just received a copy of an elegant new song and chorus, called, "God Bless the Little Woman."

BALITOWN. : May & Kelly's well, in which drill- i ing was stopped last winter at about j 1250, was drilled 40 feet deeper and torpedoed last week. About 25 feet ) of excellenf sand was found and the i well made a very haudsome flow. They J succeeded in getting it cleaned out last Saturday, since which time it has j filled up 1200 feet with amber oil, with very little or no gas. The well will be tubed tlus week if the material can be 5 got on the ground. The well U loca- j ted on tho north side of Tionesta creek, about three-fourths of a mile ' south of B.illtown. Tha owners are i confident ot a good producer when it gets rightly under way. The lowest estimate that has been placed upon it ; i 10 barrels, and from that to 30. Our , young friend Ben. May is one of the lucky owners. .; The rig of the new well of Grandin j & Berry Bros, is completed, and drill-: ing will commence in a aay or iwo.j This well is located on a small stream colled Berrv run. about one-half mile north of the well recently struck by these parties ; it is also on the north side of the Tionesta. It will be watched with considerable interest. ' The operators of the Balltown ter ritory will put some tankage in before they do much pumping. The pipe line at Blue Jay will be extended to Balltowu'before long, and then we can expect considerable activity in that section. As it now is they have no way of saving their oil, and it would be folly to pump without sufficient storing facilities. Obituary.
