Two more prisoners took French

seems strange that prisoners should
not like to stay in that jail, aa it is a
magnificent building, costing over

be one of the kindest of landlords.
But, somehow the boys don't like it,
and can't be induced to stay very long

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.

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.,

Ed. 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.
