Wheeler & Dusenbury'a milli at Newtown , so ably rnanagsd by Mr. Chas. Southworth and .brother, are running full time at present.

Now is the time to select your Holiday Goods from the largest stock in North Western Pennsylvania, at Iloleman & Hopkins', Tionesta or Pleasantville, Pa. It. Baldwin's Railway Guide for De cember has reached its subscribers, to whom it must be unusually welcome this month, as its sprightly columns contain many new and instructive railway statistics.

Williams, of Washington ebunty, intends to plant ten thousand walnuts. He will sow them in rows; after two years will thin out having only a thrifty tree ; in five years will cut young walnuts for table legs; in eight years will cut again alternate trees for newal posts ; in ten years will begin to harvest nuts by the thousand bushels, and in fifteen years will have walnut logs to Bell. This has been practiced in New York with great success, and why not in Clarion county. Clarion Democrat. Few are aware of the late prom ising oil developements going on under the auspices of Hon. W. R. Crawford and Moses J. Coleman of Franklin, on Hemlock Creek, near the Forest county line. The field of operations is just east of E. E. Clapp's lands, and has been called "Norway." J. D. Hancock, Esq., of Franklin, is also interested in this new field. We are reliably informed that the first well put down was a barrel and a half; the second about a barrel, and the last one about eleven barrels. The field being new is beginning to attract con siderable attention, and next season extensive developements will be made we are informed. This will affect lands in Southern Forest in the future, we predict. f The Forest Republican has changed its location, as stated in last issue, to the new room over Smear baugh & Co.'s store building, where our patrons and friends will find us at all reasonable business hours. Al though not entirely ready to receive callers not being fully "cleaned up" yet we will be pleased to see any and all who chose to make us a vist during court or institute next week, espec ially if they have any money to leave with us for eafe-keepinc. Our new office is very pleasantly located and when once fixed up will be a sort of comfortable place to stop. In this connection we wish to thank "the boys" who turned in and "gave us a lift" in moving our heavy machinery ; they did nobly, handling it so care fully that not a brake occurred. Our sales during the past week have been exceedingly large, and while we heartily thank the public fur their liberal patronage, we have yet an immense stock of Holiday Goods and General Merchandise that will be sold at lowest prices. Come early. Come often. It. Holemas & Hopkins. C If.' " Iiiker departed' with his wife bis'J household . goods yesterday, f?r BJy City, Michigan, where he- ex pects to riia'kd' Lis futufo abode.

' We were very much surprised the other cfay at seeing Robinson & Bon ner unfoading at their popular Btore, so many oblong boxes, and upon in quiry learned they were boots and shoes. We have no reason to doubt this as they al ways have the largest stock ef these goods to be found in the market. They tell us their Bales this season of Gokey & Son's celebrated hand made goods have been almost ten times that of any other goods. The flood last week seems to have been gotten up expressly for Samuel Roupe, who had some six or eight timber rafts stuck between this and Buck Mills. It let him out nicely, and heai rived safely in Pittsburgh. Geo. Osgood, who has the job of taking out a lot of square timber for Ab. Grove, succeeded in getting out a couple of rafts on this flood. In fact, as far as we can learn, there isn't a beard or stick of timber now in the creek that needs attention, s fortu nate have the lumbermen been in get ting out their wares. The Corry JEnterpriae, Mieses Mar garet K. Kern and Florence L. Yost, Editresses, has reached us. It is a 6-col-umn, 4-page, and handsomely-printed paper, but that is not all by any means ; the editorial columns show a high order of refinement and talent, and its local paragraphs are spicy and numerous. Our best wishes attend the young ladies in this venture. We cheerfully accord the new candidate for public patronage a place on our exchange list, and hope "the girls" won't give us "the mitten," when we ask them to do the same by us. That a good beginning sometimes makes a bad ending was verified in a mild degree last week. A party of men got out at Newtown on Thursday morning last, hung the oars on five creek rafts of timber, started for the mouth of the creek, where they landed them safely and by night bad them coupled up, shanty built and all ready to start for Pittsburgh in the morning, 'which they did. Every thing ran smoothly until a few miles above Oil City when the raft very hu cermoniously landed itself on Horse creek island, where at last accounts it still languished. Dan Gibson, one of the most successful pilots that runs from this soction, was the captain of the craft, but the best of pilots will sometimes have bad luck. P. S. The raft was taken off yesterday and will now doubtless get to market all right The Teacher's Institute which convenes here next week will be the beBt ever held in the county, if the array of talented instructors presented by Superintendent Hillard and the efforts put forth by that gentleman are to be taken as a criterion. With such notables as Col. Sadford, Misa Laura Keller, Supts. Dixon and Schenck taking part in an affair of this kind there can be no duubt of its complete success, and the teachers of the count, and all who attend can rest assured that they will experience a rare treat that will be of lasting benefit to them No teacher should be absent from this institute, now that they are allowed their time while in attendance. Mr. Hillard has labored hard and earn estly to make the coming institute of more than ordinary interest and ben efit to the teachers of the county, and it now remains for them to second his efforts by their presence and assistance next week. The citizens of the town should turn out, to the evening sees ions especially, and thereby eucourage the educational interests of our connty Don't fail to attend, everybody. Of the many Guides and Seed and riant Catalogues Bent out by our Seedsmen and Nurseymeu, and that are doing so much to inform th people and beautify and enrich our country, nouo are so beautiful, none so instructive as Vick'a Floral Guide Its paper is tha choicest, its illustra tions handsome, and given by the thousand, while its Colored Plates are gems. This work, although costing but ten cents, is handsome enough for a Gift Book, or a place on the parlor table. Published by James Vick, Rochaster, N. Y. V Mr. Geo. W.'i'.iwyar furnishes us with the following local happening about Tylersburg ' On Thursday morning last whilo all tbo folks were : away some miscreant broke into Rudy Struken's houso and stole therefroaa Rudy's bran new Sonday-go-to-.-nect-ing suitor clothes. Iu the after uoon of tho same day a houro belong ing to T. J. Payne and occupied by Geo. Keefer, situated about a mile beyond Tyltrsbyrg, was totally de stroyed by fire, together with its entire contents, the family also being away from home at the time. It was un doubtedly the work of an incendiary, and supposed to be the same villain who broke into Mr. Struken's houso. A suspicious looking character was seen in the vicinity a few hours before the fire occurred. A revolver and ten or fifteen dollars were lost, and neither being found in the ashes, it confirmed the belief that the house had been set on fire, and these articles were stolon. The good citizens of the place took up a subscription for Mr. Keefer's benefit. Mr. Sawyer ako informs ns that a rumor had reached Tylersburg that the dwelling of Jacob Mays, near Clar ingtoo, this county, had been destroyed by fire, and most of the contents burned. Robinson & Bonner are just in receipt of a car load of Flour and Feed, which they offer at the lowest possible prices.
