Dou't neglect it. Now is the proper time. It is reported that the chestnut crop will bo small this year, owing to the dry weather, the burs having dried up, and many of them falling off. Some excellent work has been done ou the Tylersburg hill road; and the school directors aro fencing the school yard on SaUegiver bill. Mr. Lnnders expects to have his boat scaffold finished this week, and thinks they will be able to turn off a pair of boats before cold weather sets in. Mr. A. II.

Mr. McKay, who was very low last week, has grown very much better, we are- pleased to state, and with a fev more day's gain will be able to be out. Three of Jas. Rurkett's children -who lives near the river bridge aro down sick ; one of them quite dan gerously so. The family i In dis tressed circumstances, aod should re ceive the attention of our charitably iuclincd citizens. At the postoffices throughout the country coins with holes punched through them or otherwise mutilated have, by order, been given the follow ipg values: SI is worth 75c; 50c pieces, 35c ; 25rj pieces, 15c ; 10c pieces, 5c; 5c and 3c pieces not taken tall. Miles & Shenstey, at their mill on Coon Creek, received an order for 12,500 feet of "bill Bluff" last Thurs day. Tho timber was cut in the woods, hauled to the mill, sawed to order, hauled to the creek and rafted on tlio same clay. This we consider pretty lively work for a email mill. Mr. J. Y. Saul, who has been working for some months at Brace & Allen's mill, cu Reaver creek, had a severe stroke of paralysis on Monday last. His right side was entirely par alyzed, and his speeoh is severely im paired. It is feared that his chances for recovery'are not very good. The Niagara Excursion was quite well patronized from thU place, con sidering the limited notice given the public. Something over 30 tickets were sold at this btatioo, and every body who nttcuded was highly pleased with the trip. There is no discount on the excursions gotten up by tho R. P. & W. R. R. Co. It is said by those who have seen it that Mr. T. J. Payne's new mansion at Tylersburg, will, when finished, be secoud to noue in Clarion county. It there is one Democrat in Clarion county who deserves to live happy in a haudsome residence, built by a boss Forest county carpenter, that man is T. J. Payne. It should be remembered that every voter rou.t pay a tax, properly assessed within two years, and that the last day for paying this tax is Oc tober 9th thirty days before the election. Attention to these provis ions of the law will save the time of the election boards, lost by swearing in votes, and will enable every citizen to get his vote without trouble or an noyance. ' The intermediate school building; i. e., the old Universalist Church, got afire on Monday morning and but for the timely arrival of several taxpayers would have gone up in smoke. It would have been too bad had it burned down, 89 the fire would have entirely ruined tho beautiful shade troes which cluster around the build ing, and necessitated the building of a decent school house. George Washington Waterman, the man who was found in the woods near the Tylersburg road, beyond Hark Wentworth's place, in a nearly nude condition, and brought to town and lodged in jail, was released ou Friday last. It appears that some time ago he had a severe sun-stroke, from the effects of which he still Buf fers. He was properly cared for by his friends. A friend writes us from Liueville, Clarion county, that on Thursday of last week Albert, son of Godfrey Rower, was accidentally thrown off his horse and had his arm broken about one inch above the wrist. Dr. Cary was called, who fouud that both bones of the arm wero broken ; he re duced the fracture and Boon had the young man feeling as comfortably as could be expected. Last Saturday tho fun-loving young people for miles around gath ered together near Tubba Run school house on Dutch Hill, where a largo platform was erected, and epent the day and evening iu tripping the "light fantastic." If we are to judge from reports it was the pleasantest affair that has taken place for some time, and must have been tho event ol the sea son. The platform will be left for future utility iu the dauciug line. . r. J. M.

As showing the extent of tho lumber business in Jenks township, this county, tho fodowing items will prove interesting as well as surprising to many of our readers : A. R. Howland associated with the Enterprise Transit Co. will have 800 000 of cherry and ash. Dr. Towler, associated with Henry, Rayard & Co., of Philadelphia, about 1,000,000 feet cherry and ash. L. D. Woods will cut this season about 2,000,000 pine on the Tearsall lot, which goes to Henry, Rayard & Co.. Philadelphia. Taylor & Crate, of Ruffalo, will have 500,000 of cherry and ash cut on the Means & Dempsey tract. Williams, for Vankanford & Eaton, Albany, N. Y., have about 200,000 feet of hardwood left yet to ship. A party named Byron is putting in a mill to cut piue near the L. D. Woods lot. Jenks township has six steam mills. Tho above wo get from a reliable source, and it can be depended upon for accuracy. It will be seen that the lumber business of that section is ex periencing considerable of a boom much more so, in fact, than we had any idea of. Last Saturday's Hunt. The match hunt came off on Satur day last according to programme, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all the participants. The day was hot and game scarce, yet the courts averaged pretty good. It was pretty much a gime of chance, as tho ones who hap pened in the right places got good strings, while ?oma of the good hunt ers got badly left because they riidn't strike the right hunting grounds, which is very natural, as a matter of course, &c. The sides wero paired off not chosen the object being to get them as nearly equal as possible. All showed up at the Lawrence Houso in the evening, where the game was counted and supper devoured.

Bill Blum holed a ground-hog and tried to smoke him out, but the con founded thing "held the fort," and blew the smoke back into Bill's face. Jim Carson got sick and had to quit hunting early. Guess Jim got too much of the Greenback meeting at Nebraska the night before. Rill Smearbaugh says if he had been compelled to get a black squirrel or bang, he would have been hung, sure. Adams had the largest string, and Jimmy Haslet second. Geo. Al baugh had the nicest Btring of black squirrels; live of them, and all shot iu the head. A number of the boys are not satisfied with iheir count and want another hunt about the first of October, when pheasants come in. Good Oats Crop. Stewarts Run, Pa., Sept. 8, '81. Ed. RErur.LiCAN : Having heard of large crops of oats being raised in Forest county this season, and being a farmer mysolf, would like to hear how they cultivated the ground, the kind of seed used ; and weight of oats per bushel, &c. I have had a tolerably fair crop myself and will give you particulars : Ground, 3 acres, rolling gravelly loom ; cleared over 40 years and under cultivation ; no fertilizers or raauure the la.H 12 years except last year ; ground plowed this spring aod towed to oats, 3 bushels to the acre. Result: 147 dozen sheaves ; 3 bushels cleaned up on barn floor after hauling in, and 20 busLefcs thrashed by Car- ton A Feotl loinl' 211 . bushels; weighed ono bushel, P,3 pounds, mak ing a total of 0,003 pounds ; this is an nvcrpge of 70 bushel;) t') tho ncre. Ground measured by T. W. Allender. Seed, White Holstciu. Let us hear from Neilltown. J. I. Range. It strikes us the above in a "toler ably fair" crop of oat?, and we doubt if it can be beaten in Forest or nnv oftho adjoining counties, all things considered ; but if it can we'd be pleased to learu of it. Mr. Range adds in his letter that Mrs. Cummins' best cow choked to death on an apple, and suggests that people cut their ap ples before feeding to their cattle. -Ed. far Away Kansas. Marquette, Kan., Sept. G, '81. Ed. Republican : As a great doal is being said in regard to crops, dry weather, etc., everywhere this year, perhaps it will not.be amiss to say something jn regard to this portion of Kaunas. The wheat crop has not been a total failure, neither has it been a success. In some places it has been quite good averaging about 20 bushels per acre, while in other places it has not been worth harvesting. I see by one of our county papers that a careful estimate has been mado as to the pro duction of wheat here, the result of which is a yield of 1 million bushels in McPber8on county this year. Cars loaded with grain are being shipped daily to Kansas City and elsewhere, prices varying from $1.00 to $1.20 per bushels." The corn crop has been injured greatly by the chinch bugs, also by tho hot winds, yet it is thought there will be enough raisea throughout the State to feed the vast amount of stock in it. I see here and there fields of the best corn I over saw raised (but the stalks are not as large as coffee cups, ft least not ours) while I see many fields that will hardly py for husking. The price of corn is about to cents. e have had a good bit of rain here, yet at times it has been and is now very dry, owing to the hot winds which so soon absorb the mo is ture ; we have not, I think been with out rain for a greater space of time than 3 weeks, and then our rains were not merely 6hovers, but steady drench ing rains. The soil here is fertile and crops grow well when they are not destroyed by insects, and sufficient lain falls. Potatoes are a failure ex crpt where sufficient mulching was put on tj ietain the moisture; in these cases good crop3, bofi in quantity and quality, hava been raised. Owing to the unusually lonz and severe winter nearly all the straw as well as tle hay was consumed, making it difficult for the farmer to procure either to cover his potatoes, and as a result they bring from $1.50 to 82.00 per bushel in market. I have seen some very nice sweet potatoes raised here, and some large and delicious watermelons, muskmel ons and canteleups. I brocght a watermelon from my patch recently which measured 3 feet 6 inches, by 2 feet and 7 inches. I wish when enjoy ing a feast of these that some of my Forest county friends were here to help me devour some of them. Peach es are plenty, but of an inferior quali ty, owing to the hot suu. Wild grapes and plums grow iu abundance, bo we do not suffer much for fruit, though wo do not have many apples. We have haJ thus far no very destructive storms, although some parts of tho State have been visited with terrible Etorms, destroying both property and lives. We had the pleasure of attending a Kansas Camp Meeting, recently . the attendance was good ; some very able speakers wero there. The order was very good, which we think speaks well for the community. The teacher's Normal Institute of our county has just closed, having been in sessiou for ono mouth. The school board of the county seat has just hired the teach ers for the ensuing term, a Principal whose salary is $100 per month, and five assistants whose salaries we have not learned. A sorgum factory has just been erected ou the section on which I re side They aro manufacturing a very good quality of molasses at 50c. per gallon. Since I have been writing it has commenced raining, and tho prospects are that we fhall have a settled rain, which will rejoice the hearts of the farmers, as it has been too dry to do their seeding. Many of the pcuplo pre foiling q'lito b'uo over tho crop iere this year, f.nd eorrwi nro boend jr Washington Territory ; but I havo decided, niter reading the reports of ropsin other states, that ours com pare favorably with almost all of them, and I am satisfied. R. C. S. A crcat varielv of Teamsters' And Carriage whips just received. Win. Smcarhaugh & Co. , 2t. More persons have been cured with Peruna than with all other rem edies put together. DIED. DAVIS. At her homo in Tionesta. on Monday morning, Sept. 12, 1881, of typhoid fever, Sarah Emma, daughter of Mr. and Mis. II. O. Davis, aged 1(5 years, 10 mont'is and 1 day. Those who knew well tho sweet girl that has passed away, do best un derstand the lofs that is implied ia the above announcement. Her death is a bereavement to a larger circle than her own family, though there indeed the loss must be most sorely felt. There was a sweetness about her youngIife an individuality and a , culture, that promised large possibili ties in her future, as a member of soci ety. Affectionate, too, graceful in bearing, pleasant in voice aDd man ner, she was yet reserved and dignified beyond her years. Her qualities were fitted to adorn in marked degree, tot merely home, but the duties lifa re serves for true aud noblewomen. Rut,' 'Her lifo is perished In the green ; And while we breathe beneath tho sun t- . Tho world, which credits What is done 1 cold to all that might have been." But she who was loved, was loved of God ; and He who doeth all things well, has transplanted one more flower out of our friends' family into immortal soil. May, indeed, the short life just ended amid such lamentation here, but received with acclamation there, become to us a monitor, and to her nearer friends a sweet and gentle memory in the happy evening tide of a calm and religious life. Mrs. Jane Patson Irvin, widow of the late Win. Irvin Esq., died at her home in Curwensville, Pa., Sept. 4, 1881, at nearly 70 years of age, of rheumatism. The deceased was sister of Hon. John Patton, and aunt-rof Mrs. Tato of this town. Mis. Irvin was a Methodist, and while she never hesitated to confess her faith at all proper times, the countless benefac tions that descended from her sick chamber to the poor and distressed, illustrated tho practical nature of her religion. She was a true friend of the Uuion. Not only at home but on tba . field, in person, she ministered to tho wants of our patriot soldiery. She presented the famous "Bucktails" with their regimental colors, the bearer of which was Bhot in the fight of Fred ericksburg, his life blood consecrating the sacred emblem as he fell. In com pany with her husband she went to Washington and urged upon Mr. Lin coln the importance of an exchange of prisoners with the Confederates. For nearly sixteen years prior to her death she never walked through the streets of her own town ; yet no other ; person in it, perhaps, was more thor- ' oughly active in relieving private waut, or whose influence was mora widely ) felt in affairs of public charity. God has taken the beloved sufferer into His Infinite bosom at last ; but her virtues : still remain in sweet and gentle mem ories. TIONESTA BIARICKTS. CORRECTED EVERY TUESDAY, BY RELIABLE DEALERS.
