Good Friday, day-after to-morrow, it a legal holiday. The new postoffice at Forest City Is to be called Jit. Agnew, we learn. Last Saturday was St. Patrick's day. The day passed quietly in this place. Oil Market closod last night at $106, and opened this morning nt $1.0GJ. Mrs. II. O. Davis, who has been quite ill for some time past, is improv ing slowly. The "Narrows" between this place and Hickory are said to be impassable on account of ice. The trootiDg season comes in on Sunday this year, but (lout give it away to any of the boys. About these days the affable land lord is around writing up bounce-'em-quick leases for his tenant. Mr. Ilosey.of the firm ofOrmeton & limey, Oil City, wa9 a guest at the May maneiun laet Sabbath. Everbody isgrowing tired of winter. Last Sunday was a mild, springlike day, and tho "sample" was heartily enjoyed by all. llov. Hinckling's boss hen yes terday mornitig laid "viiat we suppose is intended as its Easter ellort; the di mensions were G J x 7 i . Mr. Jno. S. Irwin, of the Forest oil field, accompanied .by oar efficient sherill', paid our sanctum a pleasant cull yesterday morning. John and 'Gus Carson have pur chased the boot ar.d shoe store of Judge Reck, and will soou take pos session at the eld stand. W. P. Mercilliott Esq , was in town yesterday and made us a call. Ha U located, or expects to be in a few weeks, at Forest City. Nxt Suuday w'Jl be Easter, and the average lover of hen fruit is just now casting about fur the place where thay sell the largest egg for tho least money. Georg P. Park came down from Tionesta, where he is employed in the Mty, Park & Co. bauk, to take iu the domino reception last uight. Franklin A'eu, Saturday. Forest City is fast becoming one of the liveliest oil towns. The board ing houses are all full and things in general are beginniug to assume a business aspect. Enquire Brennan has about re covered from another severe attack of quiusy. Having been there we just knew exactly how to sympathize with him in good shape. - Miss Alwilda Adams, having finished her term of school at Nebras ka, has accepted a situation as clerk in the Prothonotary 'a office, which po sition she fills very gracefully. The arbitration between G. YV Dithridge and A. J. Landers continues to sccupy the attention of the arbitra tors, it having already run eleven days. It looks like an all summer job for the lawyers. Harvey Foremsn expects to com mence the erection of bis new house as soou as the weather becomes settled. lie has a nice lot in the upper eud of town aud will have a house to match when it is finished. The donation held at the M. E. Cburch on Tuesday night of last week was well and liberally patronized. The money proceeds amounted to JG3, net, besides a host of household articles, wearing apparel, etc. Our lnmbermen had their. mouth? puckered for a raftiug flood the. latter part of last week, but the weather caught a severe cold on Sunday night aud yesterday morning the ground was covered with several inches of. snow. Tho old legal phrase, "Know all men by these preseuts," tic, i under',; going some change, and It is tbo'uglt- that hereafter all blanks will be made to read, "Koow all men 'and one wo man," as the rest wtfuld God It out soonnough. J ;' Thermometer yesterday morning, six degrees above zero. Meanwhile the river proceeds to fill up with slush ice at night, and clear nut again in the afteruoon. We have entirely too many weather prophets these days, and in order to accommodate them all the weather has to get up aud dust itself. The daisy bill which has been be fore the legislature for some time, has been defeated, we learn. The meas ure was a good one and should have become a law. But it would have been rather severe on G. G. Sickles who owns several very handsome and ex tensive daisy patches in this place. Constable Muenzeuberger, was called to Gusher City on legal busi ness oiio day last week, and while there stopped with Mr, Ben. Kinney, who keeps a very pleasaut stopping place, furnishes good accommodations on very reasonable terms. We are glad to hear that Ben. is flourishing in the new oil town. Cbas. Itaisig has several wagons about completed ready to turn out, and he io vitea all those at all inter ested to call and inspect them, whether they coutemplate a purchase or not. It is a pleasure to Charley to have bis work examined and criticised, as he knows it will stand the test. Go and see them. "Auother Tramp" writes sfrom Brookston as follows: "We notice by the Oswego Times that Mr. John Black, who ab formerly of this place, is dead, and that his brother, William, who lately left here, is afflicted by the same disease, cancer. The auction continued two days. Brooks & Co. have sold their stock of groceries to Mr. A. P. Anderson. We wish Pete succoss. Dr. Coburn has concluded to make the change as indicated io our lust issue, and will move his family to Tidioute about the firrt of May. The Doctor has always maintained a lurge piactice here, and does not be lieve that in this particular he could better his condition anywhere, but he Will not have the long rides anb hard roads, which have told on his constitu tion of late years. We wish the Doctor and his family success and happiness in their uew home. The Weetern Pa. River Improve ment Association issue a circular iu viting all interested parties to attend its meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 'i7, in the rooms of the Cham ber of Commerce, Pittsburgh, Pa. Special business will be tho prepar ing of a bill relating to nuisauces or obstructions io the Allegheny river, from oil refinery refuse or other im purities being run luto tho river. obstructions by bridges, or encroach ments on banks, &c, &c, and any other appropriate business. From the Independent Pre? of the 15th, we learu the following Mf. John Wood, late of this city, died at East Hickory, Forest county, yesterday (Wednesday) murning, in his seventy-third year. Mr. Wood, who cam.) to Franklin from Mercer more than a quarter of a century ago, was known in our community as an upright, honest man and a good neigh bor and citizen. About two years ago he moved (o East Hickory, where bp resided up to the time of life death borne ID rue mouths since he had a stroke of paralysis, from which be par lially recovered, but a renewed attack resulted fatally. The remaius of de- ceabed will be brought here to day for iuterment io the Frauklin Cemetery The best and cheapest lot of Wall Paper ever brought to Tionesta, at II. J. Hopkius & Co.

Canned goods, dried fruits, beaus, pickles aud sauces, are seasonable goods ami low. at Win, Suiearbaugu & Co.'i. 2t -Tbe court came to an abrupt nd last Saturday not however, until a large amount of business bad - been transacted. The law requires the jury commissioners to be sworn each time a jury U drawn; whereas they did the .business as Benjamin Franklin recommended his father to say grace tjver ilhe barrel of pork iu order to aaveihe time at each meal. They have corieefyeil that once taking the onth sufficient, and this On the occa sion of being iwom in. Lieut. Gov. Stone raised the question after 'ill other methods had failed to get a thief's trial to be put over had failed. Then he sprung the illegality of the jury, which Judge Brown decided well taken and the court anjourued. The jury was good enough for all purposes but that of of a pick pocket. The next jury will he constituted according to the law. Warren Ledger. The most timely of modern dis coveries is noted by an exchange. A young lady, being afficted by an obsti nate cold, concluded as a last desperate resort to try the curative effect of tack ling the family washing. To her own surprise and the infinite gratification of the family, she wasspdedily relieved of her cold and restored to health and unwonted usefulness. The happy bene ficiary of the wash-tub cure says that the steam arising from the tub wrought the magical change, and she at once imparted her secret to young lady friends similarly afilicted, who have tried the remedy with like wonderful tesults. We hasten to lay this import ant discovery before the young ladies of our land, who hive so long been weeping and sneezing beneath a weight of catarrhal woe, almost unable to play the piano or warble the wailing iuquiry, "Why am I so weak and weary?" Let the stricken things look up and brace up. There's balm in the wash-tub. SafTering sisters, try it, and all sighing and snuffling shall flee away, and a sense of releif shall reign in your heads, your homes, and the wash house. Franklin Prest. TIDIOUTE. About fifty new books have been added to the High School library. Reverend Mr. Rhea of Warien spent several days in town lait week visiting our schools. Such visitors are always very welcome. Miss Nellie Ilsgue, of Toronta, who has been visiting here for some time, returned home lat Monday. A piece of the Warren covered bridge is now lying on Magill Island, having been carried thste by the high water. The owners can have the remaius by identifying property and paying charges. Reveread Mr. Gilleland delivered another of his interesting lectures be fore the High School, Friday morning The subject was "Mistakes to be Avoided." Jahu Hunter is confined to the house with a severe cold. Bishop Whitehead, of Pittsburgh, held service iu the Episcopal church Tuesday eve; Wednesday morning he baptized two children. He also took up a collection preparatory to obtain ing a pastor to preach there at regular intervals.

Peter Berry and hi amiable wife set a good table, and Peter keeps the best quality of sand rectified cider, and cigars. The Kelly & Grandin Nos. S and 5 are keeping up their production. The Porkey well is good for 15 barrel. Of the new wells: J. C. Welsh is about 800 feet deep. lie has had a great deal of trouble casing off the salt water. In fact all the wells iu that vicinity are troubled with salt water. No. 3 of Grandin & Kelly wells hss to be bailed out twice a week. Grandin & Kelly are drilling their No 6. and putting up a rig for No. 7. These two wells are located ou a 45 degree line drawn half way between 3 and 5 ; No. 6 being to the northwest and No. to the southwest. Murphy's well, on 3194, will be in by the time you go to press, if they have no bad luck. This well is about 80 rot's north of the Porkey well. The Gailey Bros, well is dry, Dr. Book with all his "mystery" and Andy Garlland to the contrary not withstanding. Murphy is starting two rigs on the southeast corner of 3133. The Bailtown Oil Co is putting up a rig on 4821, about 250 rods east of the Gailey Bros. Jas. Welsh is starting a rig east of his well. The "Big K" will be drilling this week. Bio K. Reports from the Cooper Traet of the past r.'eek are of a rather damag ing nature. It is saii the production of the principal weils has fallen off more than one half within the past five or six days, and at the present rate of decline that territory will be a second Cherry Grove in less than two weeks. A guage of the entire Cooper district on Suturday last showed that the pro auction was l,ooz carrels, tuliy one hundred barrels less than before the Patterson, McCalmont No. 2, Reno No. 2, and Murphy were completed Add to this the fact that the Sherman well, which was expected (o be a good one, came iu dry. likewise the Shan- nott No. 6 and the Clark & Foster, and the outlook is decideely not very rosey. It is believed, however, that when these large wells get down to fair sized producers their staying qualities will be good. The activity in building and operations is still kept up and iucrcasing, and as soon as the backbone of winter is thoroughly broken things will grow very lively there. The Wolcott well on Sugar Run, near Nebsaska. was completed last week, but what it is none of the out side world seems to know, and the owners refuse to divulge, either be cause they think it's nobody's business, or from a lack of kuowledge on their own part. The general supposition is that it is a duster ; some thiuk it is not May the latter party win their guess. The Tionesta Oil Co. is locatiog new well somewhere ou its Beaver Valley territory. The exact spot we have not yet learned. Derrick, this morning : The An cbor Oil Company w'ill have two wells in the sand this week, provided they have no bad luck. One is No. 16, lo cated west of the Forest Oil Corapa ny's producer, and from its situation a hundred barrel well may be anticipa ted. The other is No. 14, on division o or the Cooper tract. Its location is north of the Fertig & Henne light well, aud directly south, about 200 rods from the Shaunon No. 5. It may be a dry hole or a bid all producer, but a large well would not be looked for from its location. Teachers' Examinations. Neilltowu, Saturday, March 24. Tionesta, Tuesday, March 27.

We take pleasure in announcing' that we have perfected arrangements with the publishers of the American Farmer that enable us to club that magazine with the Forest Republi can at the low price of 8175 per year1, a trifle over the price of the Reicbm can alone. This is bevond Question the first time that a reliable agricul tural paper has been offered at so cheap a price, and we trust all our subscribers will avail themselves of this unusual opportunity of securing a first class agricultural magazine. The Ameri can Farmer is beyon i doubt worth three times the price, at which we place it. Try it. It is a monthly publication. Walnut Leaf Hair Restorer. It is entirely different from alL others. It is as clear as water, and, as its name indicates, is a perfect Veg etable Hair Restorer. It will imme diately free the head from all dan druff, restore gray hair to its natural color, and produce a new growth where it has fallen off. It does n t in any manner affect the health, which Sulpher, Sugar of Lead, and Nitrste of Silver preparations have done. It will change light or faded hair in a few days to a beautiful glossy brown.
