Glad to welcome all such to Forest county. The Press reporls squirr'ols very numerous around foalUburg, Indiana Co., Pa. If you have more than you cau attend to, pleaso drive a small herd of them up into Forest couuty. Mr. J. N. Tietsworth, of Dallas, McKean Co., was in town last week and shook hands with his old friends, all of whom were glad to see him Mr. T. is looking and doiDg quite well. James Elliott, of Steworl9 Run, smiles his best smile over the arrival at his house, on Saturday last, of a twelve pound boy. We hopa he'll grow up to be as good a Republican as his father. "Rudy" Strucken has commenced plastering bmearbaugh dt Co. s new building, and the carpenters are put ting on tha finishing touches. The store will be ready for occupancy in two weeks or less. The chestnut crop is not as ' large as it might be, hence the accidental items usually furnished about this time of the year are not forthcoming, So, you see, the newsgatherer suffers with the rest on the account of the failure of the crop. t Mr. Luther Johnston and wife, of Scotts. Michigan, are paying their many old Forest county friends a visit. Mr. Johnston was formerly one of Forest's prominent lumbermen, and as such was well and favorably known to our older class of citizens, who are always glad to see him. Mr. J. J. Green, Tylereburg's en terprising merchant, informs xxt that the name of the station at that place will bo Tylersburg, and uot Farming ton, as has been reported. It will be situated a x&ila from tha town. An accommodation freight train now makes regular trips to that place on Mr. J. T. Sterling of Beaver Vol ley, was in town lat Friday. His wii'o died a hort time ;, leaving him with quite a large family of small children, one of whom is very sick now. Mr. Sterling is a worthy citi zen, and in bis distressed situation is truly deserving of the kindest sympa thy of his neighbors and friends. Two more prisoners took French leave of the Clarion jail last week.' It seems strange that prisoners should not like to stay in that jail, aa it is a magnificent building, costing over $50,000, and Sheriff Collner is said, to be one of the kindest of landlords. But, somehow the boys don't like it, and can't be induced to stay very long at a time. The Buck Mills club played tha Salmon Creek boys another game of ball on Saturday last, and scored an- other victory, the game standing Buck Mills 25, Salmon Creek 11. Tho Buck Mills club will play the Dutch II 111 boys a game next Saturday, and if they beat them, they (the B. M.'s) are going to challenge the world, bo Philip Emert says. During tho Congressional cam paign in this district last fall, the use of tho name "Skinall," when speaking of a locality in Armstrong county, seemed to give offense. To show that the name is a fact, we clip the follow ing item from the Kittanning Times: "The Republican campaign opens next Monday at Skinall, in North Buffalo township. SalUburg Press. Burglars entered the store of Myer Levi, at Tylersburg last Friday night, and stole in the neighborhood of $300 worth of goods, such as clothing, tobacco, cigars, &c. They got in through a window. Goods were strewn along tho road as far as Scotch Iill, where all trace of the thieves was lost. Considering: tha fact that a bouncing boy arrived at Mr. Levi's house the night before the robbery, his oss sets rather lightly upon him. Many people take newspapers, few preserve them ; yet the most in teresting reading imaginable is a file of old newspapers it brings up the very age with all its bustle and every day affairs, and marks genius and spirit more than the most labored des criptions of the historian. Who can read a paper dated fifty years ago, without the. thought that almost every name then printed is now cut upon a tombstone, at the bead of an epitaph. Ex. On Monday last as Mr. John Woodford was driving a heavy load of lumber over one of tha bridges spanning Beaver creek, on tho plank road leading from Brace & Allen's mill to East Hickory, the bridge gave away, piling Mr. Woodford with bis horses, wagon and lumber in the bot-1 torn of tho creek. Mr. Woodford sus tained several severe bruises and cuts, but ho is not thought to be danger ously injured. The team, which is a valuable one, was cut and bruised con siderably. Rev. Hill has determined on moving to Kansas, and will take his departure as soon as he can dispose of bis personal property and nuke the necessary arrangements. During his brief residence among us Rev. Hill bas made a host of friends, who are loth to see him depart. He has la bored hard in the large field assigned him here, and has done much good for the cause of religion, which will lose in his departure a fearless and earnest worker. His many friends will wish him and his excellent family a fervent God-speed in their new home. A special dispatch from Clarion to the Derrick gives the following account of a heavy robbery at Lick- ingvillo : "During Saturday night rob bers broke into the store of Nicolas Gilfert, of Lickingville, this county, and broke opou a large safe and stole bonds and mouey to tha amount of $6,000. The entrance was made into the building by prying open the back door. The safe was broken open by a large sledga and two blacksmith's chisels. Tha work was a rough job and must have been done by parties not up to the business, The bonds were not registered but Mr. Gilfert has the numbers and to-day had tele graphed all the banks in this part of the State to be on the lookout. A re ward has been offered lor tha arrest of the parties. This is the location of the recent stealing of cattle that were sold in Oil City and luusvule." JUr Gilfert telegraphed to May, Park & Co., of this place, that the amount in bonds stolen was $0,100, lour per cents, in denominations tanging from $500 down. Up Iho Hivcr narrLlinas. Having observed no naws from this locality in'your paper for some time, will give tho following items to let your readers knew we are yet among the living. Tho mill at Stowtown is shut dawn on Recount of low water. Hod. N. P. Wheeler is putting op an addition to his barn, and has also added to tho beauty of his residence by enclosing his grounds with a neat picket fence. Hickory Town's new school house is fairly under way of construction ; the building is founded on solid rock, and is quita commodious in appearance, boing a two story building. It is a vast improvement on the old one, and is sot back in the woods farther. The prideof Hickory township, as near as could be ascertained by a casual observer, is the plank road leading up Hickory creek. R. L. Whitten is putting a "condi tion" to his residence which will add greatly to its appearance and value. The mouth of Hickory is just dry for a flood in the river. It is crowded with raftod lumber, awaiting transportation to the lower markets. There are four immense barges at Hickory, which bave been built du ring the summer by Pittsburgh parties ; they are in size 130 feet long by 25 feet wide and 8 feet deep ; they are plenty deep enough to allow Tionesta boys to assist in running them ; no danger of getting top-heavy and fall ing out. They are worth about $1,600 in market. Messrs. Brace & Allen have partly built, and are still at work on a pon toon-bridge, which crosses the river at the ferry. The appearance of the bridge is good, and no doubt will be a paying enterprise. Messrs. T. B. and Rowland Cobb have several large fleets of. spiles in the river below Hickory staition, which were taken off tha side hill on the opposite side of the river. The side bill looks as it the logs bad come down without much help from the cutters. Tlroy will bo used for the construction of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R., across the Ohio river at Liver more Island, Pittsburgh. Rob. Herman, the station agent, is a sorrowful man indeed he is a wid ower. His wife ond Mr. Herman Jr., are away to Oil Creek Lake ; give him your sympathy. Miss Sue Evans of Tionesta, spent the Sabbath with the Misses Siggins, and returned to Tionesta in the eve ning:.

The match was Stewarts Run boys against the boys of tho Fogle Farm. It wasn't a good day for chipmunks, only 144 being killed.; "Fogle Farm" remarked that he could have slain a million had he known the rest were going to. One boy killed two black and two gray squirrels on one tree Two gentlemen met with quite a loss one $5.00, and the other a pocket book containing $2.50: hope their day's pleasure iu a measure recom pensed them.

Republican : , , I hear from my Forest county friends .through your paper which I receive regularly. Per haps a fsw jottings from Northern Michigan may prove interesting to some of your readers. I loft Erio, Pa., about ono o'clock June 21st, for the Uwn of Shelby. I reached Muskegan, a town of over six thousand, and yet the blackened stumps of the recent wilderness stand thickly in her princi pal streets. Her saw mills are her only source of prosperity. Hero I took another railroad for Shelby, a town of about five hundred people, 36 miles north of Muskegan. Tho speed on this road astonished me, notwith standing I had made several trips in my life from Sheffield to Warren on the local freight. By fastening the vision firmly upon a tree, you could satisfy yoursek that tho train was in motion. At the end of the first half hour I became alarmed, and suggosted to the conductor a gentleman of very thin legs and astonishing large feet that he reverse the cow-catcher to the rear of the train, for foai that a drove of cattle, that started from Muskegan a few minutes after we did, might run into us. The conductor looked me intently in the oye for a few seconds, with a gleam of pity in his face and passed on without a word. He was folltwed by a boy peddling prize candy packages to the credulous passengers. . Taking it for granted that the lad was the inevitable newsboy of all passenger trains, and forgetting for an instant my change of place and circumstances, I requested him to bring me the New York Tri bune. The boy started, slightly changed color, and responded with : "The what ?" "The New York Tribune." The lad drew a long breath and slid past me. Two seats to the rear he met the conductor, and I heard him whis per to that functionary : "Tkat feller over there is crazy ; he axed ma for a New York Trombone." Tho conduc tor then recited to the astonished lad my suggestion about tho cow-catcher, and after that the twain never passed ma without a scrutinizing loou in which alarm was blcndid with com raiseration. Shelby is in a valley, and the situa tion is a truly pretty ono. Like all western towns, it is laid out to lim itless expansion. The founders of these embryo cities socm to contom plate the no distant day when their now villages will rival New York and Philadelphia in population and wealth. The timber here is divided into what is called "hard wood" and "softwood." The former consists mainly of beech and maple; the latter of pine and hemlock. All this region for hundreds of miles, has been surveyed off into forty acre tracts. But very few of the settlers own over one of these lots. All the land here was originally owned by the mill proprietors ; spec ulators from other States, who bought vast tracts for immense pines which grew thereon. These pine forests lined the eastern shore of the lake for hun dreds of miles, and hundreds ot saw mills have been engaged in their de struction for the past eighteen years. The waste has been fearful. Between here and Chicago, a distance of two hundred miles, but few pines are left in majestic supremacy, the lordlingsof the forest. For eighteen years the "best" have been annually marked by the spoilers, hewn down, and cast into the saw mills. But the huge hem locks have been passed by as worthless for commercial purposes. The new settler alone makes war upon them. Thev are Yearly cut down by the thousands, left to dry for a season, and then the remorseless fire is let loose for their destruction. I haven't time to speak of the workings of the mills in this country, but will at soma fu ture date. Yonrs truly, B. D. McClure. Private Sale. Rev. J. F. Hill being about to go west wishes to raako sale of household and Kitchen furniture, such as bead eteads, tables, chairs, ono hard coal heating stove, one cook stovo, ono or gan, one book case, wash stand, bu reau, canned fruits, and many other articles.
