A small "pond-flood" in the creek

for the New Howe Sewing Machine,

during the spring and summer where
they can bs found when rot absent on
business. Tbe Howe machice being
the first that was ever made, has an
established reputation the world over,
and with the late improvements that
have been made is better than ever.
Mr. Dubail is quite well known to
many of our citizeni, having canvassed
this section six years ago, when he
gave very general satisfaction ; Mr.
Norton is an equally reliable gentle
man, tHthough not so well acquainted
with our citizecs. These gentlemen
have all kinds of sewing machine at
tachments, and in connection with
their business are prepared to make
repairs on all macbiuee at reasonable
prices. Give them a trial, and we are
convinced you will receive entire sat
isfaction. Our townsman Whittekin re
turned from Harruburg on last Mon
day morning, after a stay of a week,
seeming well pleased with his visit.
He says he rnniraaged around through
the archives of tha old Keystone State,
and among the curious and likewise
valuable things ha brought back is. a
map of Peousyl vauia made 90 years
ago. He epaaks in laudatory terms of
Hon. J. B. Agnew. and his estimable
lady, who united in endeavoring to
make his visit pleasant, as he does
with all his friends. Mr. Agnew holds
a responsible position in the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs, which Mr.
W. thinks he fills with singular ability.
He says he only awaits an opportunity
to be able to show his appreciation of
the favors bestowed by Mr. and Mrs.
Agnew, He saw a number of his ac
quaintances and reports having bad a
good time. S. D. Irwin Esq., Hon.

proved land in Howe and Kingsley
townships, which was caveated against
by the Salmon Creek Lumber & Min
ing Co. After hearing both sides and
tbe evidence of the surveyors, Messrs.
Ililands and Whittekin, for some rea
son unknown to all parties or prob
ably some construction of the law
issued W. A. Duseubury, the appli
cant for the land, a warrant authoriz
ing the county surveyor to survey
unto the said W. A. Dusenbery the
said land. Other business before the
board was as speedily disposed of.
Monday's Gale. ,
A special dispatch from Meadville
to the Derrick, dated Monday evening,
says : "A tenific gale iwept over this
county this afternoon demolishing
fences, uprooting trees and causing
immense damage in all directions. At
Evansburg, eight miles west of this
city, a three story business block,
nearly completed, was entirely de
stroyed with terrible destruction of
life. M. A. Hunt, of Evansburg, and
Frank IcDowell, of Atlantic, were
taken from the ruins dead. The fol
lowing persons were seriously injured,
the first two probably fatally hurt:
John Houser and William Shartle of
this city ; John Snyder and Wm.
Adams, of Evansburg ; H. II. Sidler,
Ed. Minuits, Thomas Harbison and
John McNaioara, also of this city,
and George S. Stewart, of Bradford,
owner of the buildiug. The building
was for mercantile purposes and a
large force of men were engaged on
the work. Mr. Stewart's injuries,
while severe, are thought sot fatal."
P. S. Two of tha gentlemen men
tioned in the above item are relatives
of some of our townspeople. Mr. Stew
art is a brother of Mr. Conver and
Mrs. Adams, and Wm. Adams is a
brother of Mr. II. A. Adams. Mr.
Stewart had his collar bone broken
aud was bruised about the bead ; Mr.
Adams had a leg and arm broken.
Both men are severely though not dan
gerously injured. Ed. Rei
FOF.EST COUNTY.
A Derrick reporter takes a run up
through Forest county, via tho Pitts
burgh, Bradford & Buffalo R'y, and
sees a good many things that will bear
repealing, consequently we cull the
following budget of news from his re
port :
Forest county is growing. It i
growing more noticeably than many
of its more populous neighbors. The
advent of the Pittsburgh, Bradford &
Buffalo railroad in the very heart of
the county has caused considerable
movements in the way of development
Probably tbe most notable improve
ment on the line of that road is at
FOREST CITY,
or the Byron's Mills settlement. Mr.
W. Byron, a thorough lumberman,
came in here last summer from Fisher
with a large steam saw mill, which he
has running in good order. With the
opening of spring he will erect a plan
ing mill, aud put in turning ma
chinery, so as to be able to turn out
manufactured articles, rather than
crude material. All this work will
employ a large number of men, and
Mr. Byron will soon have a nice little
village here. Already ho bas a store,
a uweinaz house lor mmseii-anu a
number for his mill hands, all erected
since last fall. A public hall will
be built by Byron, in which religious
meetings, debating and literary soci
etics and other public gatherings may
be held. A reading room will be
attached to this institution, supplied
with newspapers, periodicals and
books. An effort will be made to
have a school house erected the coming
summer, and a postoffice establisned
as soon as the railroad carries the mail
past this point. Both tbeso projects
will in all probability be successfully
accomplished. Mr. Byron has 2,100
acres of timber laud here, covered
with pine, hemlock and hard wood,
among which cherry figures conspicu
ously. The locality has for some time
been known as Cunningham Roads,
but the village will be dubbed Forest
City. Only a short distance from
here Frost's mills are located. These
mills do not have the permanent ap
pearance of the Byron improvements,
but will cut timber for some time to
come. The people of these mills will
of course have their school and post
office in common with the Byron mill
people.
MAEIENVILLE
is a town of long standing, and the
namlis known far and near, but com
paratively few people know tbat the
town was composed of four houses until
recently, tbe railroad company has
erected a supply depot, a storage room
and a residence for the 6eetion fore
man. The material of the old Elk
City station has been all moved ti this
point aud the station will be rebuilt
here without tielay. A large tannery
is to be built at this point this spring
and the town may then be expected to
spring into a uew existence and ha ve
a number of residences added to its
streets. The derrick of Dr. Towler's
test well is plainly visible from the
railroad, and should the prayers of
the people be auswerd and oil found
in payiug quantities, the place would
take on an air of bustling activity that
would surprisa the old forests.
Those who argue that railroads are
a detriment to a country at large,
which class happily is small, would
have to travel aloni' the Pittsburgh,
Bradford & Buffalyr road with their
eyes shut if tbey 'would not be con
vinced of the error of their opinions.
Everywhere along the route industries
are springing up and resources are
being developed which briag wealth

The Cooksburg School..
The Cookeburg school term of six
months closed on Friday, ihe 17tb
iDst. In the evening, Miwi Jennie M
Shields, and scholars gave the largo
audience present a rare treat to a
number of Dialogues, Recitations, &c,
all of which were rendered in a highly;
creditable manner, showing care in
their' preperalion. The school room
was handsomely decorated for the
occasion with evergreen boughs and
wreaths enclosing mottoes. The exer-.
cises of the evening commenced with
an "old-fashioned spelling bee," to-
which an invitation was extended to
all present to take part. A number;
of tbe audience, together with tha"
cholars of the school, and a number
of scholars from schools in the vicinity
participated. The spelling throughout
was contested with spirit j Ella Cook,
one of the pupils of the school, carried
off first bunois, having spelled down
all competitors. One of tbe feature of
tbe evening's performance was a "bur
lesque" entitled "An Irish Turkey
Roast," which was well rendered and
brought dowu the house. Miss Shields,
has taught the school in this place for
three terms, and is greatly ssteemed

Lines Written on the Death of
Dearly Beloved Sister.
Br Frank C. Riker.
While far out on the Wostora plains,
A message to me came,
That leaves me sad and Jonly,
And fills my heart with pain.
It was a message from a loved one
From a broken-hearted mother
Saying that "your sister Minnie
Has gone to her heavenly father."
This is the way the message read : .
"Dear son, if I could spare you
Tho pain 1 know that this will cause,
By the message I now send you.
"And still it falls upon me
The sad news I must break
I know how it will grieve you,
I fear your heart will break.
"Dear eon, how it will grieve mo,
Such sad tidings to you send ;
To-day we buried Minnie
Ever more from mortal pain.
'On February the 15th,
The year 18S2,
Our God (lid send a messenger,
That bid her sho must go.
"He sent to hor your sister
Who had gono to heaven before ;
Sho came to guide dear Minnie
Over to the golden shore.
"Long hours, twenty-four, she lingered
Upon a dying bed.
And many a friend did linger near
To bathe and soothe her aching head.
"And many a toar was creeping down
On cheeks of snowey white,
For.soou they know dear Minnie
Must pass from mortal sight.
"Dear Ron, I know our Minnie
As an angel she will wait
To guide us up to heaven,
Aud tli rough tho golden gato.
"I am ready for my summons
From the loved ones gone before;
I know that they await for me
Over on the other shore.
"Dear son, come hasten to ua )
Come Lustoh to your home,
For now our darling Minnie's gone,
It leaves us all alone.
"You know your father and myself
Are growing very old,
And the day can not be far otf
The dav we will be called.
"And I know that it wou:d comfort jud
To watch as one you love,
When we 1 ave this world of trouble
For a brighter w, rid above."
