Clarion Demo crat, " An Exchange makes the follow ing very sensible suggestion: Every man who visits a printing office should bring with him an item of news if possible. Miss Martha Morrow, who has boent 'attending the Slate Normal School at Indiana, Pa., arrived home Friday to spttid the holidays with her parents.

The Cantata of Kris Iv ingle will be rendered by Sunday school scbolais on Saturday eveoing next at the Court House. . The final rehearsal will be h$ld at the same place on Friday eve pniDg, at 7 o'clock. All scholars should be there promptly. No admission fee - - r - - No Paper Next Weekj. Next week we shall take our ac customed holiday and will issue no paper. This announcement will doubtless be bailed with joy by oor afflicted readers, who are perhaps as anxious for a rest as we are; however, to us it will not be much of a rest, as we expect to have plenty to do la the way of taking in mooey on - subscrip tions, Ac, besides we will be prepared as usual to Jo all kio'li of job work in oor accustomed ariistio style. Our oflice will be open during business hours as heretofore, so that any one having funds to leave with the. needy will find us "at home." Our next is sue will appear on January 3, 1883; and now we wish all our readers and friends a Merry, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Prof. 8. F. Hoge, of the Tidioate normal and high schools, paid our office s visit yesterday. This gentle man has done much toward, the ad vancement of the schools at that place. Messrs. It. W. Pimm, Chas. Grif fin and D- Downey, of Fairundus. were in town yesterday, being called hither to give testimony in a school matter which comes before the courts next week. Marshal, a bright little boy aged nearly three years, son of Henry Matha, who lives on Tubbs Run, died of congestion on Monday morning, and will be buried in the German Hill cemetery to-day. Our old hiend and patron, Mr. P. C. Blocher, of Fagundus, has been under the doctor's care for the past three weeks with a serious attack of bilious fever, but we are pleased to learn is now improving. A fifteen-year-old son of Rev. Henry Rhodes, who lives near Old- town, died on Thursday evening last. We are without particulars. The re mains were iuterred at Lickingville, the former home of the family. We learn that "Quill." McClin tock met with au accident a few days ago which came near proving fatal. He was cutting timber at a place called McGraw, Warren county, when a tree fell upon him nearly killing him. At last accounts he was getting better. Yesterday afternoon. Johnny, son otD. W.Clark, and aged about 10 years, met with a very painful acci dent. He was standiog by the road side when a team passed hauling a bob-sled, ana as we learn, the boy at tempted to "jump on," when he slipded and fell, the hind bob passing over him iu such a manner as to in jure one of his legs very severely. Dr. Morrow was called, but could not find that any bones were broken. He will doubtless be laid up for several weeks. No other injuries were sustain ed, we believe. Hickory Chips. Messrs. Rob't Anderson and Archie Da vies returned home to day with sev en fine deer. These consisted of three four-pronged bucks, one two-pronged, one spike bock and two large does. Rob. killed one more than Archie. These gentlemen boarded with Henry Kifler, at Stowtown, and did their hunting on the hills of Hickory, Otter and Beavei creeks. Joaeph Hannah is the oldest man in in Hickoiy township, being 80 years of age. He rode from Braceville on a stick of square timber to Wheeler's store, a distance of eight miles, to-day; and trottod up the hill to II. KifTeVs, with the agility of a boy of 18 If the sleighiug remains good for a couple of months there will be a great er amount of boards and square tim ber at the mouth of Hickory than was ever known before. A protracted meeting is now in pro gress at the Free Methodist church. If another boy jumps onto the next skunk that friend Warden drives out of his cellar, that boy will have to quit school till be gets better. East Hickory, Dec. 18, R. E. B. Those desiring' an education would do well to examine the work of the Tidinute Normal and High schools. Special attention will be given to the Business Course during the next term ; which begins Jan. 2, 1883. For fur ther information address, S. F.

Reports came in yesterday that the Reno well, Cooper tract, Forest coun ty, mention of which we have made several times within the past month, had struck the sand and was flowing 150 barrels per hour, or 3,600 barrels a day. These reports were confirmed later in the day, and late last right the wires were busy carrying, news about this latest Jumbo. The Mur phy, in the same district, is also flow ing big. THE BALLTOWN GUSHER. Last Wednesday morning, just after we bad gone to press news was received here that the Balltown well, or rather the Brush Camp well, owned by Grandin, Berry & Kelly, and drilled some time last August,) had been sunk several inches . deeper into the sand and had started to flowing at the rate of one thousand barrels daily, it has been flowing ever since, but as roightp expected, has fallen off some from that figure. It is now producing about 500 barrels, with the tools still in the hole, and is less than two feet in the sand. The trade had virtually forgotten about thie well, or had ceased to fear it, and it proved a great surprise to every body. But while it is a stuoner to the market, we can't help rejoice to know that at last the boom has struck Forest county, and that the theory so long advanced by operators that there is oil in our county, and lots of it, has proven correct, and that our territory has not been tested time and again to be con demned at last. The sand found at this well is supposed to be what is known as the Sheffield sand, which has good staying qualities. Monday's Derrick has the following concerning this well : "The latest news received from the Grandin well at this office, was on Saturday afternoon. A gauge which bad taken of the wellin tho forenoon showed that it was then pro ducing at the rate of twenty barrels an hour. At this rate it would pro duce 480 barrels for twenty four hours The well was struck Tuesday after noon and in sixteen hours made 672 barrels, or an average for the first twenty-four hours of 1,005 barrels. On Tuesday a guage fur sixteen hou showed its production to be at the rate of twenty eight barrels an hour, or 672 bamls for twenty-four hours, inis guage was up to inursday noon, when it was one ajd three quarter days old. The last guage of 480 bar rels a day was taken Saturday fore noon, when it was a little more than three and a half days old." Aside from the above there is noth ing particularly new in the oil matters in the county. We learn that the Cornwell veuture, at Root & Watson's mill, is down something over 2100 feet, and has shut down on account of the giviDg out of the rope. Mr. C. is undecided whether to drill the hole still deeper or not, but since be is down so far will probably go a little farther just to see what there is down about China. This is jloubtless the deepest well ever sunk iu tho comp . James Y'ck.-From the appearance of "Vick'a Floral Guide," which is on our desk, we should judge that the young Vicks are "chips of the old block," as the Floral Guide with its lithographed cover U handsome enough for the parlor table. It is printed on the best of paper, has "three colored plates of Flowers' and Vegetables, and full of uaful information. Those who send 10 ceuts for it cannot be disap pointed, as the paltes alone are worth the amount. Address, as in past years James Vick, Rochester, N. Y.

On Thursday last, 14th inst., the marriage ceremonies of Mr. Geo. M. Kepler, of Tionesta, and Mrs. E. M. Scribnsr of Oil City, were performed at the latter place. Maoy of Mr. K.'s Tionesta friends were invited to the ceremonies. The Oil City Blizzard gives the following account of the hap py event. - At the Baptist church, at seven o'clock last evening, Mr. O. M. Kep ler, of Tionesta, and Mrs. E. M. Scrib- ner, of this city, were united in mar- riags. The church was well filled with friends ard acquaintances. Promptly at 7 o'clock the members of the fami ly entered and teok seats in front of the pulpit. Tbey were followed a mo ment later by the bride and groom, who were precsded by Rev. C. T.Mor gan, the officiating clergyman. .Taking their places in front of the alter, the minister, in a most impressive manner, pronounced the words which made them man anfifc. The party vthen proceeded down the aisle, the organ in the meantime pealing forth ".Kep ler's Grand Wedding March," com posed for the occasion and rendered in an excellent' manner by Master Frank P. Sherrelt. Proceeding to the church parlors, the happy couple re ceived the congratulations of "their many friends, which ' were ehowered upon them boTTotiulfy. Later in the evening the members of tho family proceeded to the residence, on Cottage hill, where a sumptuous repast was served. Mr. and Mrs. Kepler had contemplated making a tour of the eastern cities, but in consequence of the serious illness of Mr. Kepler's daughter, MrsTC. C. Fuller, tbey de cided to defer it. The Blizzard gives a long list of bridal presents, but our limited space forbids a reproduction thereof. . Discussions by teachers. Devotioral exercises conducted by Rev. Hicks. Music drill, Frof.
